ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY ALPHA CEO 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

Xander's POVAllison is sitting with her hands on her lap, fiddling with her fingers. Is she nervous because I saw her in one of the dresses I bought, or because of something else?"I was right about the dress," I say. "It suits you."I'm partly saying this to reassure her and stop her from feeling nervous, but I truly mean it, even more than I realized.The dress hugs her curves in all the right places, and the deep blue color brings out the lovely flecks of gold in her warm brown eyes.A red hue spreads on Allison's cheeks in response to my words, crawling up her ears. She looks up from the hands resting on her lap and turns her gaze on me."You think so?" she asks.Really, the sort of questions she asks, as if the answers aren't obvious."Of course I do," I reply. "You should dress like this more often, if it doesn't make you uncomfortable."She ducks her head shyly, biting her lower lip. Golden blonde hair falls in a shiny long curtain over her face, hiding it from view.I want to

Xander's POVI'm in a meeting with the heads of one of our partner companies when I start receiving the calls from Allison's friend. I didn't pick them at first, because I'm in a meeting, and also because it's an unfamiliar number. But she keeps calling relentlessly, so I pick up out of curiosity. She sounds worried and frightened, which should have warned me, but I'm still not prepared for the news when I hear it."Allison is in the hospital," she chokes out through sobs. "She was caught up in a car crash on her way to the competition…" she hiccups. "I d-don't know why she was going there alone…"I don't wait to hear anything else. I'm up and heading for the exit before I remember that I was in a meeting. I pause at the door long enough to say "this meeting is adjourned".Without waiting for a response, I hurry out of the building."Which hospital?" I say into the phone."Hands of Light," she replies."Are you with her right now?""As close as I can be," she replies, sounding miserabl

Allison's POVWaking up hurts like hell, My whole being is aching, even in places I didn't know my body had, and it makes me want to fall back into unconsciousness.Slowly, I crack my eyes slightly open, wincing from the bright light that fills my vision. My whole body feels heavy, but when I try to lift my arm, I do so without difficulty. I hold up the bandaged hand, using it to shield my stinging eyes from the light. I suppose I should be glad I didn't have it worse. Being part wolf and part witch sure comes in handy for helping Omegas recover from terrible injuries faster than normal."Allison!" Elsa's voice exclaims with relief.I look to the side just as she appears beside me, her eyes shimmering with tears. She takes my hand in both of hers and clasps it to her chest."I'm so glad you're awake," she says.Me too, I want to say, but I can't get my voice to work, so I settle for giving her a soft smile. I'm so glad she's the one at my side when I woke up.Speaking of… what happene

Elsa's POVApparently, this is how stuff happens. You step out of your best friend's ward for about an hour to give her some privacy with her secret lover who isn't really her lover, and by the time you return, they're in a real relationship, and it nearly got announced to the whole pack except that your best friend decided otherwise.Oh, and the guy in question also happens to be the Alpha.What's this, the grand finale of a best-selling romance movie?At least I'm not alone in my shock. Ian and I are sitting on either side of Allison's bed, staring mutely at each other after having heard the strangest story in the history of the pack. If he wasn't the Alpha, we would have run right out of the room, found Xander Black wherever he is and dragged him back here to tell his own side of the story. It's not that we don't believe Allison.It's just that sometimes, it can be really difficult to wrap your head around something. Like your best friend being the future Luna. But there are more i

Allison's POVI'm staring out the window, awaiting news of Elsa's date with Ian, when Xander shows up. I know it's him even before I hear his voice, and there's a smile on my face as I turn to watch him walk into the ward."Allison," he says softly.It doesn't matter how many times I hear him say my name like that, I know I'm never going to get used to it. It never fails to make my knees go weak, to make my heart thump in my chest."Hi," I say, sounding a little breathless."I came to see how you're doing," he says.I think, with a small pang, that he would have been holding flowers if we didn't have to keep this relationship a secret. Of course, there's nothing wrong with the bouquets he sends anonymously by mail. It's just that I would have loved to be able to see him bring them himself, to be able to stand on the roof of the tallest building in the city and announce that Xander Black is my lover. I'm in a romantic relationship with literally the most perfect man anyone has ever see
