Allegra’s Pov As I made my way back to my room, the echoes of the conversation with Alpha Xander were still reverberating in my mind. Silver, my ever-curious and loyal confidante, immediately sensed something was up the moment she laid eyes on me. With a knowing look, she gestured for me to spill the tea. “So, spill it, Allegra. How did it go with Alpha Xander?” she inquired, her eyes wide with anticipation.I flopped down onto my bed, letting out a sigh as I recounted the encounter. “Well, let's just say it was intense,” I replied cryptically, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. Silver raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. “Intense? What do you mean? Did you two finally settle the argument about the territory boundaries?” She pressed, leaning in closer.I explain that we were able to talk things out and come to a more profound understanding of each other's perspectives.” He apologized for being overprotective and explained his concerns,” I explain, a sense of relief ev

Xander’s PovAs soon as Allegra leaves the house, I waste no time and link Richard, summoning him over to my place. When he arrives, I greet him with a punch on the shoulder, a mixture of excitement and curiosity bubbling inside me.“Dude, why didn't you tell me about you and Silver?” I demand, unable to contain my surprise.Richard chuckles, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. “Sorry, bro. Whenever we talked, it was usually about you and Allegra's issues or the pack's safety. It slipped my mind,” he admits, his expression apologetic.Shaking my head in disbelief, I couldn't help but laugh at his explanation. “Fair enough. But spill it now. How did you know she was your mate?” I press, eager to hear the details of their budding romance.Richard sighs, a wistful smile playing on his lips as he recalls the moment. “Well, that day at the mating ceremony, I couldn't take my eyes off her.

Allegra’s Pov As I sit there, indecision tortures me and tears stream down my face. Silver enters the room and sits beside me, her expression filled with concern. “What happened? Was it an argument with Miles?” she asks gently, her voice soft and soothing.I nod, unable to find the words to articulate the pain and confusion swirling inside me. “Yeah, he… he expects me to choose him over Xander,” I manage to choke out, my voice barely above a whisper.I frown. How did you even know about it? The argument just happened. Where are you already in the training house? How come I didn't see you when I came in? Where are you with Beta, Richard?”“Woah, woah, Allegra, calm down. I wasn't here, Alpha. Xander linked Richard and told him to ask me to come stay with you. Richard asked him what happened, and he told Richard you had an argument with Miles, speaking of Miles.”Silver's frown deepens, her eyes flashing with indignation. “Allegra, why are you even considering Miles' offer?” She demand

Xander’s Pov I groan in agony, my heart aching with the knowledge of the danger Allegra faces by remaining by my side. “Allegra, please,” I plead, my voice strained with the effort of holding back the darkness. “You need to go. It's not safe.”But she refuses to heed my words, inching closer despite the blinding light and the ominous aura surrounding me. I can see the struggle etched on her face, the conflict between her desire to help me and her fear of what I might become.As my vision begins to fade and the darkness threatens to consume me, I reach out to her one last time, my fingers trembling with the effort. “I'm sorry, Allegra,” I whisper, my voice barely audible above the din of my agony. “Please, just go.”Allegra moves closer, her presence a comforting presence amidst the chaos. “Xander, hold on,” she urges, her voice laced with determination. “You're stronger than this. We'll find a way to beat this together.”I nod weakly, my resolve bolstered by her unwavering faith in m
