Se connecterEnzo POVDustin told me he had a sidekick with him last night who helped him search the Alavander forests last night. A sidekick I told to go home!She insisted on helping us find Blaze and the others.A part of me was jealous because Dustin spent the night with my mate while I was here doing damage control.I wasn’t thinking straight. I was smoking cigarettes in the living room because there was so much on my mind. If Alexandra was showing signs of wolf sickness, then I had to move quickly. Wolf sickness was deadly. She's still a new wolf; despite her strength, she might not navigate this well. A knock came at the door. I cursed; it wasn’t even ten AM yet, and I was in no mood for visitors.I yanked the door open, and Azeal strolled inside as if he lived here, too.“Cigarettes, really?” Azeal asked as he flopped on the couch.“I needed something stronger than alcohol to take the edge off.”He chuckled. “Wasn’t last night enough? I saw what you did to the dress I bought Alex.”I grou
Alexandra POV“He told you about me?” I asked.Luna Sapphire didn’t bat a lash. “I found out.”“You’re the reason my father was killed,” Nova spat.“Whoa, that’s a stretch. I didn’t even know Veron was a white wolf or that he’d been captured,” I argued.Nova marched forward, but Enzo came between us.“Hey, relax. Alex didn’t kill your father,” Enzo said firmly.“She’s the reason he’s gone! My mother’s so heartbroken that she can’t lead the pack anymore. I’m being forced to become Luna before I’m ready!” Nova yelled, the frustration strained her voice.“That’s not my problem, Nova,” I said, squeezing around Enzo.He placed a protective hand around my waist just to make it clear to the onlookers that I was his. The hickey that was quickly developing on my neck would scream Enzo branded me.“How can you say that?!” Nova blasted.Okay, maybe my words didn’t come out the way I intended.“I mean, I didn’t cause what happened. Alec is to blame for all of this, but he’s gone now. It’s time to
Alexandra POV“Stop!” I yelled.He stopped just two feet from us. He balled his hands into iron fists and ground his teeth to the point of scraping off a layer.“You’re crazy if you think you can leave a vacant spot and another male wouldn’t want to take it up. Just look at her!”Azeal slapped a hand on my hip.Geez, I’m trying to save him here!“I’m going to kill you!” Enzo roared.I ran out of Azeal’s grip and slammed my palms into Enzo’s chest to keep him from doing something awful.“He’s helping me!” I shouted.“Helping you? Ugh, Alexandra! Yesterday it was another male, and today it’s Azeal. What are you trying to do to me?”I frowned. “How do you know I was with another male yesterday?”“I’m your fated mate! I felt the presence of another wolf with my mate!”“Oh, fuck off, Enzo. I’m always around her. You sensed another male,” Azeal snapped.“There’s no reason for you to be around a mated she-wolf. Are you insane?” Enzo demanded.“Is she your mate? She looks pretty single to me,
Alexandra POVXavier parked in front of Emmie’s apartment. Azeal’s incognito black SUV was parked up the road.He used it because he didn’t want anyone to know he was hanging around Emmie’s apartment.“I can feel how weak your wolf’s getting. It’s getting worse every day, isn’t it?” Xavier asked.I sucked in a breath. “I’m fine.”“You’re not. Mates aren’t meant to be separated.”I scoffed. “You’ve tried to separate me from my mate. You even marked me.”“What I tried to do has no relevance to what’s happening right now. Fated mates aren’t meant to be separated like this. It’s very common for wolves to lose control and suffer from wolf sickness.”“Wolf sickness?” I asked, my heart pounded so hard. “What’s that?”“It’s a rare wolf disease. The wolf suffers so much that it makes the human sick. It’s not treated with human medicine. Oftentimes, the only solution is finding another mate.”I scowled. “Hell no.”“You really want him to tell you he doesn’t want you?” Xavier barked.I popped th
Alexandra POV“I’m glad you’re interning at the pack hospital. It’s better than where I’m interning,” Emmie moaned. “The pack recycling centre! It smells like ogre feet there!”I nearly choked on my water. “Definitely not the best place for a shifter with heightened senses to work.”“Finally, someone who gets it,” she groaned and closed the fridge.“Isn’t there anywhere else you can work? The University always has internships available.”“The pack house has positions, but… they’re all going to see me as the girl who ended the Alpha’s engagement and stopped the pack from having a Luna.”I touched my best friend’s hand and smiled. “The Golden Paw pack will have a Luna very soon.”Her eyes widened. “Oh my gosh, do you know something?”I winked. Azeal was crazy about her, but he’s a Class-A idiot. All he needs is a burst of courage to mate with her.“Anyway, the hospital isn’t great. The hours are long, and the workload is intense. I barely have the energy for it. I don’t know how I’m goi
Alexandra POV“Hey, Azeal and I are going out. Do you want to come?” Emmie asked; she popped into my room wearing a fabulous red dress that showed off her lovely legs.“What?” Azeal asked from behind her.She turned to him. “I’m not going to let her spend the night alone!”“Why not?”I chuckled and shut my textbook. “You guys go ahead. I’ve got a lot of schoolwork to catch up on. At least I can still look forward to graduating.”Emmie frowned. “School work on a Friday night? No, Alex. Come with us. You need fresh air. This isn’t good for you.”“I’m not going to crash your date night. I’ll be fine…” Even though I’m far from fine.I can’t get him out of my head.“Leave Alex alone, Emmie. I got good seats to the show, and I don’t want them to be snatched up.”Emmie glared at Azeal.“She’s going through a lot right now!” She scolded.Azeal sighed. “You’re right. I’m being insensitive, but it’s all going to be fine when you confront Enzo at the Supreme Court’s ball.”I fought the urge to c
Enzo POV The front door closed, and Blaze walked in. “Is she alright?” I asked. Blaze dumped the car keys on the table. “She seemed occupied. She didn’t say much.” “Fuck… this is not how I expected it to go.” “How’d you expect it to go, man? Did you think you’d mark her and spend the rest of th
Alexandra POVI sighed heavily and locked the front door. It had been a long day. I expected to see Enzo at every turn, but he didn’t show up.What if he gave up on me?How would I ever live with myself if I lost him? With my new fated mate on my mind, I took a long shower and grabbed my special wi
Alexandra POV“She seems to be in good health, Alpha,” a woman with a familiar voice said.“She didn’t look fine back there.”“I don’t know what to tell you, Alpha. It’s not some human illness either. She has no fever or any alarming signs. She’s breathing normally, too. Maybe you need to call the
Alexandra POVHe stared at me for a second, contemplating his next move, before he cracked a smile. I saw right through it. He was faking it.“There’s nothing to worry about. Let’s go back to bed.”My ringtone blared in the master bedroom. I hurried to pick it up.It was Ellis.“Hello?”“You haven’
