I laughed along with her. “Yeah, let’s not.”
She then turned to me with a curious glint in her eyes. "I have a question for you too... What would you do if you were the one mated to Alpha Evan?"
I blinked, caught off guard. “I mean, it’s incredibly rare for an Omega to be mated to an Alpha, right?”
“It is,” she agreed, “but there’s still a chance. So, what would you do?”
Her question made me pause. I thought about it for a moment before answering, “If that ever happened, I’d reject Alpha Evan and ask him to choose you instead. Out of everyone, you’re the one who deserves to be the next Luna of this pack.”
It was true. Serena had always dreamed of being the Luna, and honestly, she was the perfect fit. With her grace, her upbringing, and her family’s high status, no one could be more deserving of the role.
Her eyes lit up with surprise. “Really? You’d do that for me?”
I nodded, then looked away, suddenly recalling the words I had said. I know it was just a hypothetical conversation. The chances of an Omega like me being mated to the Alpha were slim to none. But still, her question lingered in my mind, more unsettling than I expected.
If it ever did happen, if I were mated to Alpha Evan, would I really be willing to give him up for Serena?
Days passed quickly, and the long-anticipated day of the yearly mating ball had finally arrived. Serena's parents spared no expense, hiring the best makeup artists in town to prepare both Serena and me for the evening. We were in her room now, getting ready, and, as usual, Serena hadn't stopped talking about Alpha Evan. I didn't mind, though—I was used to it by now.
To be fair, I couldn’t blame her for being so captivated by him. After all, she wasn't the only one. Ever since Alpha Evan was appointed as our pack’s leader, countless she-wolves had been infatuated with him, fantasizing about the possibility of being his mate. Serena was no exception. Well, at only twenty-seven, Alpha Evan had not only stabilized the pack but helped it flourish. Amber Stone Pack was more vibrant than ever under his leadership.
