Xander’s PovAs the realization dawned upon me that Allegra absorbed my warlock powers to shield me from harm, a whirlwind of emotions swept through me. Fear gnawed at the edges of my consciousness, mingling with gratitude and concern for her well-being. How would her body react to the influx of power? What unseen consequences might she face as a result of her selfless act? With a determined focus, I channeled my energy, willing it to return to me and release her from its grasp.With each passing moment, I could feel the familiar surge of power coursing back into my veins, the glow surrounding Allegra slowly fading as the bond between us shifted once more. But even as relief flooded through me, a faint shimmer of light remained with her; a faint glow remained with Allegra, and when she started to wake up, the glow retreated into her body, a silent testament to her sacrifice.As she began to stir, I moved closer, offering her my support as she sat up. Her eyes fluttered open, illuminat

Allegra’s Pov As Xander and I were still wrapped in each other's embrace, basking in the relief of our shared moment of triumph, the tranquility of the room was shattered by the sudden arrival of Silver. Her urgency was palpable as she burst into the room, her words tumbling out in a rush. “Uhmm, Alpha Xander, sorry to interrupt, but Richard needs your help outside,” she blurted out, her eyes darting between us.Xander pulled away from me reluctantly, a fleeting look of disappointment crossing his features before he planted a light kiss on my lips. The gesture sent a flutter of warmth through me, and I couldn't help but smile as he hurriedly made his way out of the room.Silver watched him go with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, and before I could react, she let out a teasingly exaggerated sigh. “Awwww, young love,” she cooed, her voice dripping with mock sentimentality.I couldn't help but laugh at her antics, the tension of the moment dissipating as her playful teasing washed ov

Xander’s Pov After talking to Richard, I walked to the training house to look for Allegra. I find her in her room, and I proceed to make a proposal, asking her to go on a date with me.As I enter Allegra's room, I find her sitting at her desk, engrossed in a book. She looks up, a smile spreading across her face as she sees me. “Hey, Xander. What's up?” she greets me warmly.I take a deep breath, feeling a surge of nerves coursing through me. “Allegra, there's something I've been meaning to ask you,” I begin, my voice steady despite the fluttering in my stomach.Her eyes widen with curiosity, and she sets the book aside, giving me her full attention. “What is it?” she asks, leaning forward slightly.I take a step closer, meeting her gaze with determination. “I was thinking… Would you like to go on a date with me?” I ask, the words tumbling out in a rush.Allegra's eyes widen in surprise, and for a moment, she seems speechless. Then, a smile spreads across her face, lighting up her fea

Allegra’s Pov After staying in the pack house for a while, I go back to the training house to grab the rest of my things.As I gather my belongings in the training house, a sense of peace washes over me from the wonderful day I had with Xander. But just as I'm about to finish packing, Miles storms into the room, his expression twisted with anger. “Allegra, how could you betray me like this?” he shouts, his voice echoing off the walls.I freeze, taken aback by his sudden outburst. “Miles, what are you talking about?” I ask, my voice trembling slightly as I meet his gaze.He glares at me, his eyes burning with fury. “You know exactly what I'm talking about! Choosing Xander over me,” he growls, his fists clenched at his sides.I take a step back, feeling a surge of fear coursing through me. “Miles, please calm down. We can talk about this like adults,” I say, trying to reason with him.But he ignores my words, his anger boiling over. He lunges towards me, his hands reaching out as if to

Xander’s Pov A group of medical staff came in to take Miles to the infirmary. Richard walks and walks to me.“Please tell me you didn't almost kill the boy because he was talking to Allegra.”I look at him, not saying anything. He scrunchies his brow, and he notices Allegra and his disheveled expression.“Xander, what happened? Did she try to touch her?”I sigh. “Let's talk about this later, Richard; I need to take care of her.” Richard nods, understanding that I couldn't discuss this in front of Allegra.I sweep Allegra into my arms, and I carry her to my house. I helped her change, and we just lay on the bed. I'm really tempted to ask her what pushes her to such rage, but in all honesty, I don't want to know because it turns out he is tired of raping her. Goddess help me, I will kill him myself.As I hold Allegra close, a heavy silence descends upon the room, broken only by the sound of our breathing and Allegra's occasional sniffles. Allegra buries her face in my chest, her should
