Alessandro's POV
I was desperate to tell - and explain to - Ivania, now that she had acknowledged and accepted her nature, that she was my mate. I had felt it since that magical moment in the hospital when I visited her after the attack. I wanted those words to leave my mouth as soon as possible, reaching her ears and unleashing the passion it implied.
I had already made up my mind, starting with the second part of my plan to announce to everyone that Ivania was my mate. This meant breaking off my engagement with Stephanie Astor. But, by some twist of fate, just as the words were about to leave my lips, in a moment when I felt Ivania's feelings for me were as strong as mine for her, Stephanie's unexpected arrival changed everything.
Why had she come to the Falinni safe house at that mom
