Summer's POV.The words of Alpha Alexander kept coming to me every second of the day, and I just couldn't get them out of my mind."He won't come for us? Who said we needed him when he isn't even the father of my kids or my husband?" I mumbled to myself as I got dressed for the day's work.My kids were still eating, and soon we were going to leave the house for school. I soon finished dressing, and without hesitation, I rushed out of the room.One more minute at home, and I was definitely going to get to work very late."Come on, Jason and Kayden, we need to leave now!" I urged them as I rushed to where they were, grabbed their backpack, and made them rush out of the house.Jayden was still at the hospital, and I was going to see how he was doing after dropping Jason and Kayden off at school.We flagged down a cab, hopped in, and swiftly disappeared from view, en route to the school.One thing that struck me since last night was Jason's unusual silence; he seemed quieter than his usua

Alexander's POV."What did you just say?" I uttered in a low, menacing tone, directing my glare at Ava. At that moment, an intense wave of anger surged within me, evident in the piercing glare I fixed upon her.Reacting to the observable tension, Ava instinctively took a step backward, a clear attempt to distance herself and avoid drawing me closer."Feeling scared now? Or perhaps you've lost the words to defend yourself?" I snarled, a sly smirk playing on my lips as I revelled in the power of the moment."I'm never scared, Alexander, and you're well aware of that. I won't be intimidated by someone like her! She's a bitch!" Ava retorted, looking unfazed.With her words, she openly ridiculed Summer, provoking me to take swift action in response to her arrogance.With my fist clenched tightly, I charged toward her, poised to deliver a punishing blow. However, in a swift action, she fell to the ground, avoiding the impending hit by landing on her butt. Despite her fall, my resolve to t

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

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. "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
