Ava's POV. "Summer's boys might belong to me, Alex, and we both know that! She was once mine before I let her come to you!"Overhearing Jackson's words to Alpha Alexander, I couldn't help but feel nothing but anger and fury coursing through my veins.My primary motive for orchestrating Summer's presence in his room the last time was to elicit his rejection and punishment for her role in bringing Alex into the room while we were having sex. However, to my surprise and frustration, the outcome was quite the opposite.Something I had never anticipated or imagined unfolded between them, and at this point, one thing was glaringly obvious: Alpha Jackson was still deeply in love with Summer.It might not be love, but I was certain that he desperately wanted her for himself. He yearned to claim her again, to have her exclusively, and that was more infuriating than I had imagined."I can't let this happen! I won't let her find her way back into his heart!" My fist clenched tightly against my
You Want him? Claim Him!!Ava's POV"Wait, seriously? Reflecting on and longing for the warmth of Summer, Ava? Are you out of your mind? Have you completely lost touch with reality?" He expressed his disbelief with a disdainful tone, casting a quick glance toward the door before redirecting his attention back to me."Come on, Jackson, just acknowledge the truth that you still have feelings for her and quit putting on this act! It's not as if I'm going to harm you or anything!" I exclaimed, hoping to prompt him to make the right decision.If only he had been prepared for me, if only he had made an effort to be fully aroused before anything happened, then we wouldn't be entangled in this type of disagreement."Are you kidding me at this moment? So, everything boils down to summer for you? You believe I still harbour love and desire for her?" He scoffed, frustration evident as he ran his fingers through his hair."You were about to kiss her, Jackson! And now you want her child for yours
Never Take It Off!Summer's POV.As the sun ushered in a new day, I found myself standing in front of the mirror, putting the finishing touches on my hair. Time slipped away, and the realisation that I was running late hit me like a drumbeat. My heart thumped in my chest, prompting me to take a deep breath to quell the rising tension before snatching my bag and making a swift exit from my room.With a determined expression on my face, I ventured out, prepared to confront whatever challenges the world had in store for me that day. As I walked through the hallway, my focus shifted to adjusting the sleeve of my shirt, lost in my thoughts.Suddenly, a powerful hand grasped mine, interrupting my absent-minded stroll. The unexpected touch jolted me, bringing an unexpected twist to the morning routine that had started with a simple glance in the mirror.In the blink of an eye, everything happened so swiftly that I barely had a chance to turn my head and identify the crazy person. Sudden
A Secret To Keep.Summer's POV.As we made our way to work, the atmosphere inside the car was unusually silent, and my gaze remained fixated on the captivating bracelet adorning my hands. The intricacies of its engravings caught my eye, hinting at both beauty and expense, yet their meaning eluded me.Feeling fatigued, I released a sigh that managed to grab his attention. His eyes briefly shifted towards me, but in the blink of an eye, they returned to the road, as if nothing noteworthy had happened.Noticing a subtle change in his behaviour, I sensed that something was amiss, but I opted not to initiate any conversation, fearing it might draw unwanted attention. Despite my silence, it was evident that he had picked up on the rhythmic beating of my heart, adding a layer of tension to the otherwise quiet car ride.The prolonged journey eventually came to a halt, and I observed his swift exit from the car. Intrigued by what might have occupied his mind during the entire drive, my mus
You Are Mine, Clear?Summer's POV."Yes, sir,” I corrected myself. “Excuse me.” I walked out of the office to the coffee maker in the hallway, and with a frown on my face, I began to make the coffee.The way he acted toward me made me feel like a stranger to him. At first, he asked me to be his secretary and act like we weren't mates, and now he wanted me to call him sir. What next?Once I was done, I carried the plastic cup and moved to his office with my shoe, making a clack sound against the ground.“Here's your coffee, sir."He gestured for me to come closer.“Place the cup on the table.”I nodded, dropping the cup.“Please excus…”I was about to take my leave when he spoke.“Where did you get the coffee from?"I furrowed my brows, with crease lines appearing on my face.“The coffee machine is outside. The one in the hallway."“I can't drink this! Get me another one."I deepened my frown. “Why?” “Because I can't. Go down the stairs and get me good coffee, and when you're coming
Summer's POV."What do you mean?" Perplexed, I inquired with a worried expression. Despite my efforts to understand her cryptic statements, the meaning eluded me.Ava sauntered confidently toward us, positioning herself between Jackson and me, wearing a smirk that seemed intent on conveying something. It felt as if she aimed to prove a point, but her words had taken an unexpected turn.Even Jackson, whom I anticipated to question her, remained silent.While I maintained my quiet demeanor, my attention was drawn to the white envelope in her hands. A wide grin adorned her face, and she exuded an excitement akin to that of an excited five-year-old. Turning to Jackson, who remained in a state of confusion, Ava seized his hands before dropping the white envelope into them.Throughout this, I maintained a silence, my concern deepening as I pondered the contents of that mysterious letter.Jackson, wearing a furrowed brow, gradually opened the envelope. As he extracted the letter, a sense
Alexander's POV.I abruptly woke up in a startled manner, swiftly rising from my bed. As I shifted my gaze towards the clock, my eyes widened with realisation; the children were close to being late for school, and the blame would squarely fall on my shoulders.My heart thumped resoundingly in my chest, and I found myself involuntarily swallowing hard as I turned away from the bedside, only to find out that she was still peacefully asleep.A smile graced my face as I reminisced about the delightful moments we shared the previous night. Succumbing to a mischievous impulse, I bit my lips, revelling in the memories, until the sudden intrusion of thoughts about our kids snapped me back to the present.With a sense of urgency, I leaped out of bed, hastily donned my clothes, snatched my jacket, and made a swift exit from the room, determined to rectify the situation before the morning chaos escalated.I quickly scanned my surroundings, but there was no sign of anyone in the vicinity.Ponde
Alexander's POV.I observed Jayden, lost in contemplation throughout the ride to Williams Place.Speeding through the drive, my urgency stemmed from the desire to confront the issue at its source before school took precedence.Silence enveloped my son until we reached the destination. I felt the rhythm of his anxious heart and sensed the tight grip on my hands."Dad, can we just go back? I don't want to," he pleaded."You have to face your fears. These are the most important lessons in life. You might become a great leader tomorrow, but if Jeremiah becomes an enemy, you need to know how to handle it," I advised, emphasising the importance of confronting challenges head-on.Jayden pondered, his lips tightly pressed, grappling with uncertainty. Determined to guide him, I encouraged him to make a decision and accompany me into the house.As we stepped out of the car, I ensured my son stayed close, walking alongside me until we reached the door.I knocked on the door, my eyes attentivel
