Chapter 26 Twenty Six

• Alexander's Pov.
• The events unfolded abruptly, leaving me uncertain about the fact that my mate lies in my embrace. The incident at the party had deeply troubled me, but seeing Veronica in tears transformed my worry into anger.
• Lara was not just any alpha; she was the offspring of the Mariana pack's leader, burdened with numerous responsibilities. I had believed her to be intelligent, but her disrespectful treatment of my friend at the party proved otherwise. It solidified my conviction that Lara is an immature and arrogant alpha, willing to go to any extreme to satisfy her desires.
