Allegra’s PovMiles lies on his bed with closed eyes as I enter the room and take a seat beside him. Sensing something amiss, I ask, “What's wrong, Miles?” He sits up and lets out a heavy sigh, expressing his concerns about the upcoming mating ball.“Why are you worried?” I inquire, a furrow forming on my brow. His eyes meet mine, revealing a depth of emotion. “I feel like I'm about to lose you, like the scene with Alpha Xander was just the beginning of your life. I believe there's no room for me in your life,” he confesses, his vulnerability evident.I shake my head, trying to reassure him, “Woah, Miles, slow down. It was simply a hug, and that doesn't make anything definite. And I know one thing for sure: You'll always be in my life, whether it's as friends or more.” I look at him earnestly, hoping to ease his anxieties.Miles gazes at me with a longing expression, and then he utters words that catch me off guard: “I truly wish and pray to the moon goddess that you'll be my mate.” M

Allegra’s PovIn the dim glow of moonlight, Xander and I engage in conversation, and with each word, I'm drawn more into his world. His strength and commanding presence are captivating, making me realize how much I'm drawn to him. We delve into the intricacies of the mating ceremony, a topic that doesn't exactly excite me, but I listen intently because it's him sharing it with me. As the night grows colder, I can't help but shiver, and instinctively, Xander wraps an arm around me, pulling me closer. It's a comforting gesture, and despite the mundane topic, I find myself enjoying the warmth of his proximity.My eyelids grow heavy as the night progresses, and a yawn escapes me. I nod off, drifting into a peaceful slumber with Xander's voice fading into the background. Later, I awake to find myself being carried in Xander's arms, and the first thing I ask is if it's morning yet. His chuckle rumbles through me as he replies, “No, my love, you slept off, so I'm taking you to bed.”I can't

I stand, looking at myself in the mirror. We're not allowed to see the boys, so I can't check on Miles. I keep looking at myself in the mirror, wondering if I actually look beautiful.Silver comes and wraps her around me. “Allegra, you look astonishing; he's going to love you in your dress.” I sigh and trust Silver to know me and know exactly what I'm thinking.I chuckle. “ I hope everything goes well this evening.” Silver squeals beside me and says.“I hope the alpha is your mate.” I roll my eyes and say, “Come on, sliver, let's go.”We make our way to the car waiting for us, which is surprising because no one else had cars waiting for them, and more importantly, we are riding with Beta Richard.Which makes Silver happy because she's always had a massive crush on him. As we get to the mating ceremony, I'm completely amazed.The hall is decorated so beautifully, and I am in silver awe at how amazing it looks. I can't stop staring at the wonderful decorations.Beta Richard leads us to

Alpha Xander's words echo in my mind, and for a moment, I'm paralyzed by the intensity of his gaze. It's as if he can see right through me, unraveling the layers of my soul with just a single look. And despite the fear and uncertainty swirling within me, there's also a strange sense of comfort in being seen so fully and completely.As we continue to sway to the music, our bodies moving in perfect harmony, I find myself lost in Alpha Xander's eyes. There's a depth to them, a complexity that I can't quite fathom, and yet I can't look away. It's as if I'm being pulled into a trance, captivated by the enigmatic allure of this powerful man before me.“I've heard a lot about you, Allegra,” Alpha Xander says suddenly, breaking the silence that has settled between us. “You're quite the intriguing young woman.”I swallow hard, my heart pounding in my chest. “Thank you, Alpha,” I reply, my voice barely above a whisper. “I… I'm honored.”He smiles, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. “No ne

Allegra's PovAs Alpha Xander explains his heritage as a warlock, I can't help but feel a mix of curiosity and confusion swirling inside me. “A warlock? What does that mean?” I asked, my voice tinged with disbelief.He smiles at my puzzled expression, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. “A warlock is a male witch,” he explains patiently. “My father was a warlock, which is why I have some unique powers that other werewolves don't possess. And because of my powerful warlock heritage combined with my strong werewolf lineage, I'm considered one of the most powerful alphas alive.”I nod, trying to wrap my head around the concept of werewolves and warlocks coexisting in the same world. “Okay, but what does that have to do with me?” I ask, my curiosity getting the better of me.Alpha Xander chuckles at my interruption, his gaze softening as he looks at me. “It's alright, Allegra. I appreciate your eagerness to understand,” he says, his tone gentle. “To answer your question, when you fe
