Summer's POV."You know what, Summer? You don't deserve the Alpha's love… not even a single bit!" Liam suddenly blurted out, causing me to pause for a moment.His words were like shards of glass, piercing my heart and leaving me engulfed in pain, anger, guilt, and regret."Enough, Liam…" I warned, but he showed no sign to stop, no willingness to bring an end to this painful discussion."Don't tell me that, Summer… it isn't enough, nothing is enough… not when you just can't see the truth before you!" He slid his hands into his pockets, taking a step closer as the weight of his words hung heavily in the tense air between us."What truth are you talking about?" I questioned, peering into his eyes with intense curiosity."That you, Summer Hills... are a monster!!!" Liam declared, and instantly, his words struck me like a sudden gust of wind. I staggered backward, my eyes blinking rapidly in disbelief as I stared at him."Are you shocked?" he scoffed."Well Yes, Summer, thank you for brin
Summer's POV."Get her out of the room, Liam… I'm done seeing her!" Alpha Alexander's command echoed through the room, leaving a lingering sense of pain and regret gnawing deep within my heart."What?" I struggled to say, my eyes widening in disbelief at the sudden turn of events."Come on, Summer…it's time to leave!" Beta Liam promptly grabbed my hand, pulling me out of the room. I couldn't help but wonder what had suddenly come over Alexander. My earlier assumption that he would forgive me easily now seemed misplaced, and the reality of the situation hit me with a pang of disappointment and remorse.Getting out of the room, Beta Liam shut the door behind him and stood before it, fixing his gaze on me."I warned you, didn't I?" He uttered, prompting me to turn towards him."Mind your business, Liam!" I retorted before walking away. I didn't want to expose my vulnerability before him, so I made an effort to distance myself.Without hesitation, I walked over to my son's room, which
Alexander’s POV."I believe it's in your best interest to leave my office immediately, Summer," I declared with a firmness in my tone, paying little attention to the impact or effect it might have on her emotions.As I uttered those words, memories flooded my mind; recollections of her consistently pushing me away, asserting that I had no place in her life, and callously excluding me from her and her children's world.The decision to ask her to leave was a choice I had to make for my own well-being, a need to free myself from the emotional entanglement. It was a conscious effort to put first my emotional health over the difficulties of being with her or pursuing her any further."You're making the right decision, Alex," I muttered beneath my breaths, my fists involuntary clenching within my pockets as I turned away to gaze out the window. The need for her to leave stemmed from a longing to reclaim my personal space, to allow myself the freedom to breathe without the weight of her pre
Alexander's POV."You need it now, Alpha Alexander... You need to get the surgery now, or else things will get worse!"The doctor's words were etched right in my mind and played back over and over again as I sat down in my office and had my eyes fixed right on the result in my hand."It's for the best, Alpha Alexander!" He added that, making me more nervous.I wasn't expecting this now; I wasn't expecting this at this point, but who was I kidding? I was an ill Alpha and I bet Summer was running away from me for that too.I looked at the paper again, and taking my eyes off I couldn't help but let out a deep sigh of frustration. I had avoided getting surgery back then because of one thing, because of one person, and that was Summer.I was scared that leaving the pack would make me not get the chance to meet Summer when she returned, but now, I guess I should have done it back then."What do I do now?" I ran my fingers through my hair as I felt myself go crazy for a split second.The de
Alexander's POV. "Please... hold Mommy and sit at the back. Sit with her... Please!" They both begged, their eyes fixed on us.I bit my lower lips, still thinking about what I was going to do. They were so cute to say no to. They were a bit disappointed too, and I just didn't want that."Come on, Jason… I don't think your mom will be happy with this! She loves staying alone!" I affirmed, hoping that he wouldn't stress me any further, but they were out for us. They were here to cause more trouble."I'm sure if you hold her, she'll hold you back, Daddy! Let's just get the feeling of having loving parents! Please?" Kayden begged, walking closer to where I was standing."But I am not your Daddy… I am your Alpha!" I professed, trying to make them let go but they wouldn't. "I'm sure you can act like my foster Daddy, Alpha Alexander!" Kayden let out with a smile on his lips.Just then, he grabbed and held my hand tightly into his, and with a smile, he hauled me closer to Summer, who had st
Alexander's POV. "Alpha, we have a problem!" Liam burst into the room with wide eyes and a heavy gasp, instantly raising the tension in the air. His breath came in ragged bursts, hinting at the urgency of the situation. As he struggled to regain stillness, it became clear that this wasn't a run-of-the-mill problem.His announcement had instantly jolted Summer from her seat, a mixture of concern and curiosity suddenly etched on her face. She stood up, fixating her gaze on Liam before turning to me with an unspoken question in her eyes.Sensing the seriousness of the moment, I took a split second to brace myself, inhaling deeply before addressing Liam. "What's going on? What's the problem?" My expectation hung in the air, but Liam's silence intensified the suspense, creating a frightening atmosphere that hinted at the edge of his statement.However, instead of responding directly to my question, Liam's gaze shifted from Summer and the kids back to me, an uncomfortable expression etc
Alexander's POV. "Alpha Alexander, the room is ready; we will be moving soon!" Liam announced the second he opened the door to my room and walked right into it.I positioned myself near the window, hands folded behind me, and my gaze locked onto the moon's attracting presence."I understand…" I replied, my attention remaining fixed on the moon itself, refraining from turning toward Beta Liam."You know you could have been in big trouble if you had shifted to your wolf form, Alpha Alexander... You need to be careful and cautious at all times." Liam's warning comments were detailed, delivered with clarity and accuracy, yet devoid of any harshness or rudeness. His cautions were expressed in a calm and composed manner, bringing out the importance of his statement without resorting to unnecessary harshness.I understood his point; I understood what he was trying to say, but I was still going to ignore him. The truth still remained that Alpha Jackson and his mate, Ava, were still seeing
Summer's POV."It's not like you want me anywhere close to you and the boys!" Alpha Alexander exclaimed. Before I could utter another word, he swiftly turned on his heels and exited the hospital building.Wearing a sad expression, I pivoted on my heels and, extending my hand to the doorknob, I pushed the door open."Mommy, are you okay?" Jason's voice jolted me out of my daze, as the weight of the situation hit me, leaving a deep sense of sadness in me.I was only trying to make him stay and also see how sorry I was, but I guess it was going to be difficult to do right now."Yes, Jason… I am fine! Why won't I be fine when I have you all with me here?" I responded, faking a smile on my lips so he would be totally convinced and believe me."Mommy? Who is the Alpha to you?" Jayden inquired, curiosity evident in his eyes as he sat down on his bed."What?" I exclaimed, shocked for a split second as I tried to process his question directed to me."He's the Alpha, as you know, and he's my bo
