Alexander's POV.After a long and tiring day at work, I looked forward to a quiet dinner to relax my nerves. To my disappointment, the serene atmosphere was shattered when I found my elder brother, Alpha Jackson, and his mate, Ava, at the dinner table. Despite my efforts to ignore them, Jackson couldn't resist taunting me."I see you've missed us both so much that you had to sit at the dinner table with us. Come on, Alex, you are just a kid, and it's time you accept it!" Jackson sneered, his words dripping with spite.Their presence was irritating, but I chose to stay silent, hoping they would leave me alone. However, Jackson took it as an opportunity to dig into my personal life."I heard you didn't choose a breeder from the hall last time! You keep thinking about that bitch, huh!?" His words hit me like a punch, making me shift my attention from my meal to confront his intrusive remarks. The dinner that was supposed to be a moment of relaxation turned into a battleground of disg
Summer's Pain… (Daddy!)Alexander's POV."They are not your kids!" Her words echoed and played on repeat in my mind, as if she was still standing right next to me.I desperately wanted to silence it, to remove and take the words from my head, but it felt impossible. Summer's voice lingered, stubbornly refusing to fade away, especially when the hurtful words struck a sensitive chord.With each step towards the room where my blood would be drawn, a sense of unease washed over me. Yet, despite the discomfort, there was no way I was going to turn back. I couldn't let the young kid's life be at risk. The weight of the decision pressed on me as I moved forward, grappling with the echoes of Summer's cutting words.We soon arrived at the room, and upon entering, the first sight that greeted me was the little kid lying on the bed. A sudden shiver crawled up my skin, sending a cold sensation throughout my body.I was given a blue dress and then directed to sit down near the bedside where th
Mind What You Say, Summer…Alexander's POV."Daddy!!" Their sudden call instantly derailed my focus, and I lifted my gaze to meet the two kids running towards me with bright smiles on their faces.Shock and confusion gripped me. I turned to Summer, and she too wore an expression of utter confusion at the unexpected scene unfolding before her eyes.Neither she nor I was expecting such an act from the kids. The unexpected turn of events left us both bewildered."Daddy?" I mumbled again, as if unsure of what I had heard. I shifted my gaze to the kids, and at that moment, they approached me even closer, embracing me tightly with smiles still adorning their faces.Their excitement to have me, to see me, to be with me, resonated, and a sense of joy coursed through my veins at the sight."Jason and Kayden, behave yourselves!" Summer's sudden interruption disrupted the moment. She came closer to them, her hand reaching for their wrists, and with a firm pull, she separated them from me."You
Alexander's POV."Once I leave this hospital, Summer, I am not turning back, I am not coming back! So what would it be?" I asked, my gaze buried into hers as I awaited a response from her."Am I their father or not? Are they my kids or not?" I added with a deep and menacing tone just so she can understand and know the depth of my seriousness.I needed her to know that keeping the kids away from me if they were mine shouldn't be the right thing to do."So what would it be, Summer?" I asked again, still waiting for a response from her. She needed to be open to me instead of standing at a spot and gazing at me.My patience wore thin, but I remained firm, demanding the truth and urging her to break the silence that only fueled my frustration. She looked stunned, shocked, and a bit nervous about what to say or do. Deep down, I hoped she would speak up to me, no matter what.She turned to look at Jason and Kayden for a split second, and just then, she turned back to me with a serious gaze,
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.Leaving the mansion, I headed for the company without letting Liam come with me. I was just one Alpha that would appreciate leaving or walking alone.Just as I kept driving, making my way to the company, I couldn't help but think about one person, and that was Jayden, Summer's son."You said you wouldn't look back at them! Get him out of your head, Alex! Get him out." I shook my head, trying to dispel the thought of Jayden that lingered in my head.After all, Summer had used her own lips to push me away, probably because I kept acting all nice and calm towards her.It wasn't fair, and it was totally rude of her, but no matter what, I was going to try my best to keep my distance from her."That's the best thing to do: keep my distance from Summer! She doesn't want you! She doesn't like the sacrifices you've made for her, and even worse, she doesn't act like she's your mate!" I mumbled to myself, my grip on the steering of my car tightening as I made a right turn.I tur
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.Despite observing the evident discomfort and pain etched on Alex's face, I remained firm in my decision not to let go, to persist in pushing him away. While he once held considerable importance in my life, those feelings now belonged to the past, and no longer dictated my actions. My current focus and unwavering priority were my children; they now held an important place in my heart."How could he act so clueless?" I grumbled audibly, abruptly coming to a halt in my tracks. The urgency of my work situation loomed large; having already arrived late, I was determined not to throw away any more time. With a purposeful mindset, I set out to hail a cab swiftly, intending to fasten my arrival to the company and make up for lost time.Although I had a torn shirt…Just then, I turned to my left, and something caught my attention; Alpha Alexander's car remained parked at the same spot. It struck me that he wasn't moving; the car stayed still, prompting me to wonder what migh
