ALEXANDER'S POV

"Hey dad, yeah, I understand that. I'll be going to prom tonight. Don't worry, I have a partner. No, it's not Laila. Okay, I'll tell you the details later. I am going to get late if I talk to you more." I said before ending the call. ​​

Now don't get me wrong, you guys probably might think, how rude it was of me to end the call like that, but I did it for his good. I don't want to disturb their holidays, besides, they'll be back tomorrow anyway and I can tell them about Victoria when I'll let them meet her.

Checking my reflection in the mirror one last time, I took my car keys so that I can pick Victoria from her house.

On my way to her home, I couldn't help but pick a bouquet of red roses, as an indication of my feelings. I was going to propose to her tonight, that's why it's better if I test the waters before making the proper move. I mean she will let me know, if she isn't interested in my advances, no?

Besides, I was positive that she also has feelings for me. Parking my car in front of her gate, since, we won't take long and she has a habit of getting ready on time, unlike other girls who let their friends wait for hours when they go outside.

As I rang the doorbell, the sight that welcomed me once she opened the door was both jaws-dropping and lucrative for me. To be honest, I wasn't prepared for something like this.

Looking at her face, the only thing I wanted to do was smear her lipstick with my lips. She looked so seductive, sexy and innocent all together that even hunter was having a hard time keeping it in.

Entering the house, I looked at how nervous she was acting.

She was cute in her way.

Following her in the kitchen, I looked at her back which was showing a lot of skin than I preferred As she drank her water, an idea of flirting with her popped in my head.

"You know, if I knew you were looking this beautiful, I would've come way earlier, to enjoy your beauty more," I said, before stranding behind her wanting to hug her from behind. What I didn't expect was for her to choke on her water, as soon as my body touched hers.

'Look what you did! You Pervert!' Hunter yelled from inside my head as he paced back and forth looking at our mate with concern.

Taking her towards the hall, I helped her ease the tension in her throat by patting her back.

Though I was helping her, I couldn't help but blush when my hands touched her bareback.

Her skin was so soft and milky that I wanted to take a bite out of it, but controlled knowing, what a hard time hunter will give me if he hears my thoughts again.

Feeling a bit fidgety because of how her gaze was concentrated on my face, I became self-conscious, and couldn't help but wave my hand in front of her face, to get her attention.

"I was asking if you were ready to go, though, I won't mind if you have other plans for the night," I said trying to act calm, though only I know how much nervous I was feeling tonight.

"What other plans would I have? Let's go, our friends must be waiting for us." She said before standing abruptly.

However, I think the moon goddess is also on my side today, because the next thing I know, is Victoria sitting on my lap again.

I looked at her face, as she had closed her eyes expecting some pain from the fall. This gave me enough time to gaze at her luscious lips and slender neck, without getting caught.

'Hmm.…this place is good. This is where I'll mark her once everything between us is sorted out.' I thought, while still looking at her neck when she opened her eyes.

Chuckling at her embarrassed expression I couldn't help but want to pull her cheeks.

"Let's go. I don't want our friends to wait for long. Especially Daniel who wants to talk to me about something." She said as she stood again, trying to hide her embarrassed face.

I wasn't intending to do anything anymore, but the moment she uttered Daniel's name, I remembered how he had told me, about proposing to her.

And I don't know what got over me, as I pushed her on the wall before hugging her without touching as I kissed her neck to calm hunter who wanted to come out so that he can meet our mate.

I knew he was as anxious as me to make her ours, but I knew today was not the day to let him out just yet.

'shut up! You are just jealous that she likes me more than she likes you.' Hunter said childishly before sitting in the corner with a happy satisfied smile on his face.

Just now, I had allowed him to take over me for a second just for kissing her neck so that he stops pestering me for the rest of the night.

"What are you doing?" She suddenly asked petrified.

'What was I doing? I was letting your wolf taste you so that he can stop annoying me. Isn't he the one you love the most?' I wanted to say, however, controlled my emotions at the last moment.

"You smell nice. Like rose and chocolates, with a hint of lavender perfume. I was checking if you taste good too." I said truthfully.

"So, umm...Did you like it?" She suddenly asked, which even, rendered me speechless.

She just did not say that!

'Tell her I like it! I like it! I love it! I want to taste her all! Tell her that! That I love her.' Hunter suddenly started shouting from inside of my head.

'Jerk.' I commented before closing the mind Barrier.

"I love it. Would you like me to taste some more?" I finally asked.

"Go away! You pervert!" She suddenly yelled which made me laugh even more than I already was.

She is such a cutie! God! I can't wait to have her in my arms. I'll propose to her today, no matter what!

I thought in my head before we went out, to head towards the university for prom.

Tricking her into the first dance was even easier than I had thought. Though it wasn't wrong when I said that my parents dance first, but it was not because they were some kind of founder of this university, but because they are the current Alpha king and queen of the pack.

Since try wasn't here, it was my duty to have the first dance, and it was bliss that I got to dance with my mate and didn't had to dance with some random arrangement.

This was my first dance, I was doing with the acknowledgement of being to-be Alpha king and being able to do that with my Luna queen was the biggest gift someone could have given me right now.

"Would you like to dance some more?" I asked Victoria wanting to feel her closer to me for a longer time, but before she could reply,

"You have already danced with your partner. Mind dancing with me?" I suddenly heard Laila's voice.

I don't know if it's just me, but I have been observing that Laila is always finding ways to come between me and Victoria, however, this time I won't let it happen.

'I am not interested in dancing with you Laila. I have already made it clear that I love her. Mate or not mate. She is the one I choose and will choose over and over again.' I said through the mind link as I gazed at her with a monotonous expression.

'I know alpha, that I loved you and wanted to be your mate, I still want, but this is not about dance. I want to report to you about the recent rogue activities on the west side of the forest. I hope you still remember that I am a fighter of first defence who is responsible for the safety of the pack from the west forest.' She said as she looked at me seriously.

'It better be important!' Suddenly hunter growled.

'Calm down. Let me handle it quickly and we can be with our mate for the rest of the night.' I calmed hunter, however, before I could explain to Victoria about the situation, she excused herself and went off the stage.

I looked at her figure and couldn't help but jerk my hand away when Laila touched my hands.

"It's just a dance alpha. So as I was talking about the patrols of the west side of the forests the rogue activities have been more prominent there because of the lack of people guarding the area. I also suspect that there is some insider in our pack who has been leaking information from our pack to someone who doesn't want us good." She said as she almost placed her head on my chest.

"You are too close! Move back!" I said with a warning glint.

"Okay, alpha." She said, however, I didn't miss that mischievous evil glint that passed through her eyes for a second.

Just what is she planning exactly?
