As we both sat down on the balcony, I gazed up at the dark, starry night, feeling the cool breeze brush against my skin. There was something so peaceful about being out here, with the quiet of the evening and the soft hum of the night. It only took a few moments before Serena started talking about Alpha Evan again, reliving the moment we saw him earlier at the town square. Her cheeks were still flushed, a telltale sign of just how deeply she admired him. I listened quietly, nibbling on the snacks she had prepared, letting her words fill the air.
Serena had been only fifteen when she first laid eyes on Alpha Evan, during his official Alpha ceremony. Even then, she had fallen for him instantly. I thought her crush would fade over time, but as the years passed, her admiration only deepened. Despite her parents’ insistence that she should wait for her destined mate, Serena’s feelings for Alpha Evan never wavered. It became a secret she shared only with me, a bond that had brought us closer together over the years.
“Do you think there’s a chance Alpha Evan could ever like me?” She asked, her eyes sparkling with hope.
