Accidentally Pregnant by the Alpha

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.

Alpha Evan wasn't just intelligent—his strategic mind and commanding presence made him a highly effective leader. And of course, his good looks didn’t go unnoticed. With dark hair, a sharp nose, and a well-built physique, he looked every bit the prince that any woman would dream of. Despite his reputation for being possessive and dominant at times, many she-wolves were still drawn to him, perhaps even more because of it.

After three hours of preparation, our makeup and hair were finally done. I was already dressed in my gown while Serena was still in her walk-in closet, finishing up. Gazing at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn’t help but smile. Staring back at me was a young woman exuding elegance, confidence and beauty. For once, I didn’t see a maid or an Omega. Tonight, I looked and felt like a princess. This moment, this feeling—it was a dream come true.

Moments later, Serena emerged from her closet, and she looked absolutely ethereal. Her long, dark hair was elegantly swept up, and her fiery makeup accentuated her striking features. Her gown—a bold, vibrant red—was stunning. The off-the-shoulder neckline framed her collarbone and shoulders, while the fitted design hugged her slim waist perfectly. She looked flawless, and even I couldn't help but admire her.

“Serena… you look like a goddess,” I said, my eyes wide with admiration.

She smiled warmly. “Thanks, Dorothy. Well, I have a feeling we’ll both turn some heads tonight,” She added with a wink, making me giggle. Still, I couldn’t shake the nerves building inside me.

“I’m kind of nervous, though. This gown doesn’t change the fact that I’m still a maid and an Omega. What if my mate doesn’t like me because of that?” I confessed, voicing the fear that had been eating away at me.

Serena took my hand gently. “Don’t overthink it, alright? Your fated mate won’t care about your rank. Trust me, he will love you for your kind heart and beauty, not your status.”

Her words brought a smile to my face. Serena always knew how to lift me up when I was feeling unsure.

After a few minutes, we were on our way to the Adelaide Kingdom, where the mating ball was being held. The journey took nearly an hour, but soon we arrived. I stepped out first, with Serena following close behind. As we entered the grand hall of the kingdom, I noticed how many eyes turned to Serena, clearly mesmerized by her beauty. To my surprise, a few glances were cast my way as well, causing a light blush to creep up my cheeks.

The first hour of the ceremony passed quickly as Serena and I stuck together, eating and chatting, enjoying the lively atmosphere. But as the main event approached, everyone was asked to separate according to their ranks. Naturally, I moved to the section for lower-ranking wolves, while Serena joined the upper ranks.

Upon arriving at the area designated for us, I chose a quiet corner to sit in, observing my surroundings and waiting for whatever might unfold next.

“You’re an Omega?” Suddenly, a voice asked from beside me.
