Aleksandra’s POV
We were approaching the meeting point with the witch. My stomach churned; anxiety was overwhelming. Soon, I would know what was going on with me, and I feared that knowledge so much. I was still shaken from yesterday’s events. Who would have imagined that Mirabel was Sebastian’s fated mate—and that he would reject her? Was it because he had already chosen Cristine? Or because he cared for me? I was afraid to ask him, unsure if I would be able to handle the truth. Sebastian took my hand in his. His voice was low and calm. “Kitten, relax. I can feel your stress, but everything will be fine. I am with you.” I sincerely wanted to believe his words, but a thought gnawed at me until I voiced it aloud. “What if I am some sort of abomination? Or even worse—a monster?” He laughed softly and hugged me, kissing my temple. “You are one of theMirabel's POV From a distance, I saw the familiar red-head so-called friend's daughter sitting at the piano and Nick, who crused his lips into hers. It stung me as he had never kissed me. We had sex countless times, rough and passionate, and he kissed every inch of my body, but he never even pecked my lips. Here he was kissing her genly and once they broke the kiss, he strock her hair, saying softly, "I will be back soon and we will have lunch together." She nodded, smiling fantly, but her large brown eyes hold nothing by sadness. Nick left, and her fingers hit the keyboard, the sad sweet melody played, echoing in hallways. Melody beautiful buy filled with sorrow and regret, twisting heart, moving to tears. I hated that it moved me too, hated that the sound of her pain felt so close to my own. I could not hold myself, but stayed and listened, and also I could not hold, but once the melody stopped to
Sebastian’s POVI was walking in the hallway, and the divine smell hit my nostrils. I could recognise the smell of my favourite dish, taxos, from miles away. It was still quite early for lunch, and we did not have tacos in the menu.I peeped into the kitchen and saw Alexandra alone mixing food in many bowls, while she was humming soft melody and dancing to it. She looked adorable. Her hair fell loose around her shoulders, catching the light, and the sight of her so carefree and unguarded made my chest ache. For a moment, I simply stood there, watching, memorizing the way her hips swayed ever so slightly and alluring with the tune.Suddenly, she lifted her eyes, noticing me and blushing."Omg, I did not know you are here," she exclaimed, "so emberessing," covering her face by palms."No, you were too cute." I said, teasing her a little bit, "What are you doing here?" I asked, realising how actually silly was my question, so I corrected mys
Sebastian’s POVSlowly, the week passed since my last visit to the palace. Alexandra was glowing, enjoying her painting classes with Vincent. The pack members were getting to know her sweet and kind nature, and they slowly warmed up to her, becoming genuinely friendly.I could feel the bond between us growing stronger too. She was getting more comfortable with me—playful, relaxed, and at ease.I was waiting for her in the lounge so we could go to the palace together. When I saw her walking down the stairs, I forgot how to breathe. She wore an olive-green turtleneck dress with long sleeves. It covered her modestly, yet hugged her petite frame perfectly, making her look both innocent and seductive at the same time. Her curls fell loose, and she wore minimal makeup. But it was her simple, elegant look—the way she walked gracefully, like she was floating rather than touching the ground, and those emerald eyes shining with life—that made my heart race and
Alexandra’s POV The sun went down, painting the sky in fading streaks of gold and purple. I sat cosily up in an armchair with a book, dressed in a simple pair of blue jeans and a plain black tank top, when the door opened and Sebastian stepped inside. I lifted my gaze from the book page and couldn’t help but smile at him. “How was your meeting?” I asked softly, closing the book on my lap. He looked unsettled, almost distracted, his brow tense. “Fine, I guess,” he muttered, but the way his voice caught told me otherwise. Then, forcing a smile, he added, “If you’re free, there’s somewhere I want to take you.” My curiosity piqued instantly. “Where are we going? Should I change?” His eyes softened a little, some of the tension easing from his shoulders. “It’s a surprise. I’m sure you’ll love it—and
Alexandra’s POVAfter an amazing painting class, my spirits were high. I felt ready to create and conquer the world. Vincent had already left and would be coming back for our next session tomorrow.Someone knocked softly on the door, and a young Omega girl peeked in.“Miss, there is someone waiting for you in the lounge. I will escort you there.”I beamed with joy. Surely, it was Sebastian. Could the surprises really keep coming today? I followed the Omega, but nearly huffed in disappointment when I saw that it wasn’t Sebastian waiting for me. Instead, Leo sat on the grey sofa in the lounge.“Would you like anything to drink?” Omega asked, but I shook my head no. She left silently. Leo put down his coffee cup and smiled.“How do you feel?”I sat on the sofa, keeping a respectful distance from him.“I am as good as I can be,” I replied. “Thank you for coming to my rescue.”“
Sebastian’s POVI entered the palace, walking down the hallway. There was still an hour until the meeting with my father and brother. Xavier was actively preparing for his coronation, and I was there to support and help him. I felt cold and a little lonely without Alexandra by my side, but I wanted her to recover first before she faced the public again—especially the company of sharks like Christine. Gods, how could I ever have wanted to go back to Christine? How could I have been so blind not to see how cold and calculating she was?Laura blocked my way, clenching her fists furiously. She hissed, “Is it true? You announced the wolfless bitch will be your Luna.”Even though she was my sister, I was growing tired of her bratty behavior. I answered coldly, “I will not tolerate disrespect toward my Luna, so next time choose your words wisely. And yes, I’ve scheduled her Luna ceremony.”Laura’s eyes widene
