Alara's POV "I, Alpha Alexander Lakewood of the Lakewood pack, here by accept you, Alara to be my mate". The glass wine jar in my hand fell and broke to pieces. My body froze as I stood there on the stairwell in shock. I managed to turn around and immediately regretted it. Everyone's eyes were fixated on me.
