Alex’s POV

I woke up sore.

Not in a dramatic way. Just that deep ache that made me stretch carefully before opening my eyes. My lower back was not happy. My thighs were not happy. Basically everything from the waist down had something to say about last night.

Marcus was already awake beside me, scrolling on his phone. The second I moved, he looked over.

“You are awake.”

“Unfortunately,” I muttered.

He set the phone down. “I think I went too hard on you.”

I turned my head to stare at him. “You t

    Alex’s POVI woke up sore.Not in a dramatic way. Just that deep ache that made me stretch carefully before opening my eyes. My lower back was not happy. My thighs were not happy. Basically everything from the waist down had something to say about last night.Marcus was already awake beside me, scrolling on his phone. The second I moved, he looked over.“You are awake.”“Unfortunately,” I muttered.He set the phone down. “I think I went too hard on you.”I turned my head to stare at him. “You think?”“I am being serious.”“So am I.” I pushed myself up slowly and winced. “I felt that the moment I tried to move.”His mouth twitched. “That bad?”“Do not look proud.”“I am not proud.”“You are a little proud.”Marcus reached over and rested a hand on my hip. “Next time I will be more careful.”“That is a lie and we both know it.”He did not deny it.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and sat there for a second, rolling my shoulders. Marcus sat up behind me and wrapped an arm loosely

  • The Alpha’s Pregnant Omega Heir   Homecoming

    Marcus’s POVThe car turned into the estate just as the afternoon light started to soften. Kai sat beside me, scrolling through his phone with that restless energy he always had after work.“You have been quiet,” he said. “Which either means you are planning something or you are thinking about Alex.”“Both can be true.”Kai smirked. “You are getting soft.”“Keep talking and I will assign you to inventory for a week.”He held up a hand. “I take it back.”The car stopped near the main entrance. I stepped out first. Before I could head inside, the doors opened and Elena walked out with Isabella just behind her. Alex followed a step later, looking more relaxed than he had in days.Kai stopped beside me the second he saw Elena.“Well,” he said under his breath. “This is a better welcome than usual.”Elena’s eyes landed on him almost immediately. “You again.”Kai put a hand over his chest. “You say that like it is a bad thing.”“It depends on the day.”Isabella looked between them, amused.

  • The Alpha’s Pregnant Omega Heir   A Day With Isabella

    Alex’s POVI woke up to a face hovering directly above mine.For a second my brain did not process it properly. Then pure instinct took over.“Ah—!”I jerked back so hard I nearly fell off the bed, heart slamming against my ribs as I scrambled upright. Isabella stood beside the bed, perfectly calm, holding a cup of tea like she had not just nearly given me a heart attack.“Good morning,” she said pleasantly.I stared at her, still catching my breath. “Do you… regularly watch people sleep?”“Only when they are carrying my grandchild and refuse to wake up before mid-morning,” she replied. “Marcus said you needed rest. I decided that meant checking on you.”I dragged a hand down my face. “Where is Marcus?”“He left for work earlier. He said he would not be back until evening.” She set the tea on the bedside table. “Which means you are stuck with me for the day.”I blinked at her. “Stuck.”“Yes.” She smiled, clearly unbothered by the word. “Come on. Get dressed. I already told the kitchen

  • The Alpha’s Pregnant Omega Heir   After Dinner

    Alex’s POVThe meal eventually slowed. Plates emptied, glasses sat half full, and the easy noise around the table softened. Isabella set her napkin down and looked around at all of us with clear satisfaction.“That was better,” she said. “I feel less like this house is surviving on stubbornness and cold food.”Kai stretched his arms above his head. “I feel personally attacked, but I will allow it because the food was good.”Ryker began gathering the nearest plates without being asked. Marcus glanced at him once and did not stop him. I pushed my chair back slightly, full and more relaxed than I had been all day.We stood and started heading out of the kitchen. The hallway felt warmer somehow. Isabella walked beside me as we reached the stairs, unhurried and comfortable.At the top of the stairs, I stopped and turned to her.“Thank you for dinner,” I said. Then I leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to her cheek. “Really. It was good.”Isabella’s face softened right away. She squeezed my

  • The Alpha’s Pregnant Omega Heir   Meeting Isabella

    Alex’s POVI woke up to the low sound of movement in the suite. For a moment I stayed still, letting my eyes adjust to the morning light filtering through the curtains. The tiredness from the day before was still there, but it felt more manageable than it had last night. My stomach was quiet for once. No sudden wave of nausea. That alone felt like a small mercy.Marcus was already dressed when I sat up. He stood near the window, speaking quietly into his phone, but the moment he noticed I was awake he ended the call and walked over.“My mother will be here in an hour,” he said. “You do not have to prepare anything special. She is not the type to expect that.”I pushed the covers back and stood. “That is easy for you to say. You are not the one meeting your partner’s mother for the first time while pregnant.”A faint look of amusement crossed his face. “You will be fine.”I was not entirely convinced, but I nodded anyway and went to get ready. By the time I finished and

  • The Alpha’s Pregnant Omega Heir   Care to Explain

    Alex’s POVI stood near the door of the study, arms loosely at my sides, watching Marcus.The room still carried the faint trace of Serena’s perfume, sharp and out of place against the heavier scent that usually filled his space. My pulse had not fully settled. The things she had said were still sitting under my skin, even if I had not given her the satisfaction of a reaction.Marcus looked at me for a long moment before speaking.“Her name is Serena Crowe,” he said. “Our families arranged a match years ago. Political. Convenient. I never took it seriously, and I never planned to go through with it.”I raised an eyebrow. “She seemed to think otherwise.”“She has always thought otherwise,” he replied. “Serena hears what she wants to hear. She was away for weeks. I should have ended the arrangement properly before she returned. That is on me.”I stepped further into the room. The tiredness from earlier was still present, but it sat under something sharper now. Annoyance. The kind of ten
