“And maybe try not to turn into a puddle every t| use the bond to communicate,” he chuffed.
My cheeks reddened, but I quickly snapped back, ‘It’s still new. | just need to get used to it.”
“Right...”
Just as we were making our way toward the refreshments table, a young woman in a pale pink dress approached
us. “Luna Ella! | just had to tell you, your love story is absolutely magical. The way Alpha Alexander marked you
at the hospital when you needed him most... it's like something out of a fairytale.”
I had absolutely no clue who this woman was, but | managed a smile at her praise. “Thank you. That's very
kind.”
“And the baby!” She clasped her hands together and peered at my belly. “How are you feeling? You're glowing.”
“I'm feeling wonderful, actually.” That part, at least, wasn't a lie. “Alexander’s been taking such good care of
me.”
The woman beamed. “Of course he is. When | saw those maternity photos... Goddess, the way he looks at you!
How did you know he was the one?”
My mouth opened and closed wordlessly, and | glanced at Alexander, who was watchingwith his head tilted,
red hair falling across his forehead. Was that a smirk tugging at one corner of his mouth?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was enjoying this, wasn't he? Watchingget flustered?
| bit the inside of my cheek, deciding that two could play at this game.
“He's always been incredibly thoughtful,” I sighed dreamily, touching his arm with one hand while | touched my
necklace with the other. “He showerswith gifts even though I tell him | don’t need them.”
The woman's eyes widened. “He gave you that necklace?”
I nodded hastily. “Yes, he did. And this bracelet, too.” I held up my wrist, turning it to show off the dainty chain.
“Said it was a token of his love. Isn't that right, dear?”
Alexander's lips parted as if he didn’t expectto play my role so well, but he managed to snap his features
back into a mask of utter bliss. “Yes. It is.”
“And when | told him about the baby...” | placed my hand on my stomach, still looking up at him with adoration.
“He was so gentle. He told| was going to be the most beautiful mother, and that our child was going to be so
lucky to have me.”

None of it was true, of course. Mostly. But as the words left my mouth, | couldn’t help but smile at the thought of
such a romance. What would it be like if Alexander really said those things to me? If he really looked atthe
way these people thought he did?
“You're a natural at this.”
“I've had plenty of practice.”
“Practicing your blush in the mirror, too, | take it?”
My cheeks burned hotter as | realized I'd been caught flushing like a smitten schoolgirl over a damn fantasy, and
when | glanced up at Alexander, he was watchingwith that damnable smirk ghosting the corners of his lips.
But then, suddenly, everything changed. Alexander's eyes snapped up over my shoulder, and his face dropped.
When | followed his gaze, my heart nearly stopped.
Fucking Sophia.
She was making her way through the crowd with an easy gait, dressed in a stunning red gown that showed off
her perfect figure. Brunette hair was perfectly curled, makeup dark and sultry. For all the world, she looked like a
red serpent.
And she was coming straight toward us with venom in those eyes.
My heart rate spiked as she got closer. What was she doing here? After everything that she and her family had
done, why would she dare show her face at this event?
“Sophia.” To my surprise, Alexander stepped in front ofjust as her cold eyes had begun to narrow on me.
“What are you doing here?”
