Alexandra POV“Just come home, Alex, please. He’s tearing up the place looking for you. I’ve been worried sick, too.”“I’m coming home.”I hung up and tucked the phone in my bag.“I have to go,” I whispered, avoiding his eyes.He stepped in front of me and stopped me from going any further.“Xavier? The jack ass who made you cry?” He demanded.“It doesn’t matter. He wasn’t always a jack ass to me.”Enzo ran a hand down his face. “What are you talking about?”“I was fated to him, alright. We broke up, though. I don’t know what he wants from me.”“You’ve been fated before?” He raised his brows.“Yes,” I replied, recalling the pain of that rejection.“And you broke up? You mean he rejected you. That little prick,” he spat.“Look, it doesn’t matter. I have to go. I can’t stay here.”“So you’re going to run back into his arms? Fated mates are a big deal, Alex. Xavier never announced to the other packs that he’d found his fated mate and intended Luna.”“People knew about us, though. I’d nev

Alexandra POV“No! I’m not,” I protested.“Girl, you’re pink in the face. You can’t lie to me.”“I haven’t… it hasn’t gone that far.”Emmie gasped. “You told me yourself he’s Faye’s father. What do you think she’s going to do when she finds out?”“She won’t! Please stop.” I cradled my head in my hands.“Geez, Alex, I didn’t know you liked them older,” Emmie smirked.“Emmie!”She threw her head back and laughed. “I won’t rain on your parade. Have fun, but be careful.”“Why? Does he still mess around? Does he have a harem of omegas at his pack house?”“I don’t know about a harem, but you could get pregnant if you’re not careful. You’re human, Alex. A wolf baby isn’t the same as a human one. There are lots of complications.”I swallowed hard. “I’m not doing anything with him. He just came to make sure I was okay.”“I thought we didn’t keep secrets from each other!”“You know he was here; it’s not a secret. You can fill in the rest of the information with your imagination.”“You should no

Alexandra POVI let out a shaky breath. The longer the day went on, the more I needed the glass of wine.“Do you think my real parent has been watching me?”“It’s a possibility.”“I don’t know… I don’t know if my mother or my father is a wolf. All I know is someone gave me up.”Enzo’s hand landed softly on my thigh.“That was their mistake.”I traced my fingers over my trembling lips. My throat clogged with emotions.“It’s always been the same thing… I’m constantly…” I sniffled. “Never mind.”Enzo turned me in the seat. “Xavier, your parents and even me, we’re all fucking idiots. I shouldn’t have told you we can’t be together.”“You’re not worried about our age gap?”“We’ll figure it out.”“I thought you were worried you couldn’t keep up with me.”Enzo started the car. “I’m not that old, Alex.”***Enzo kept his promise of buying me a glass of wine. He drove thirty minutes to get to the restaurant.“This place is pretty full,” I said when we were seated outside, overlooking a little p

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’t returned my text,” she said bluntly.“I-I’m sorry. I got tied up and—”“Doesn’t matter. Be at my house in twenty minutes.”“Twenty minutes, but—”“Not a minute late.” She hung up.I gawked at my phone.“Everything okay?” Enzo asked.I groaned. “Ellis is such a stubborn old lady!”Enzo chuckled. “You have no idea. She can’t know about us. Not yet.”“No kidding. I don’t know how she’ll react. She seemed to like you when you came over.”“We have our moments,” Enzo shrugged.“I have to go. She gets cranky when I defy her orders.”He raised a brow. “Is that all she does?”I nodded with a soft smile. “Yes, will I see you later?”He nodded, a look of concern plastered on his face. He took me into

Alexandra POV“If you’re not booking a room, please leave,” I begged Xavier.“You don’t even need to work here. What the fuck is this?”“I need a job, thank you very much.”My manager was an ass and hated that I worked here. He made me count our entire storage of tissue even though he told me there was over fifty thousand of them. How did I know that? Because he told me himself.Xavier grabbed my wrist. “Why are you working in the Onyx pack? Aren’t there jobs in your pack?” He raised a brow.“Doesn’t matter... there aren’t laws that stop wolves from working in different packs.”He clenched his jaw and scrutinize me for longer than I thought was appropriate. He yanked me forward I fell on his chest, he sniffled my hair and groaned.“You smell like a challenge. My wolf likes that.” “Leave me alone, Xavier. Your girlfriend doesn’t like you hanging around me.” I fought the urge to stomp on his foot. I snatched my arm free and stepped back. I already have so much work to do I don’t hav
