Alexander's POV. "We need a Daddy, and we need you!" Jason asserted, attempting to convince me, and just then, it worked.I gave a brief pause before speaking up."Fine! But don't bring up some ridiculous plans of using toys to get to your Mom!" I warned, still grappling with the mindset that I was on the verge of taking advice from five-year-olds."We will try not to!" They chuckled as they dragged me towards their room, a chorus of laughter blending with the innocence of their actions."Alpha!" Ray called out, and I turned to him, anticipating his words."I'll be right out! Wait for a second!" I commanded, and he bowed to me.Getting into the room, I sat down on the chair that was close to the bed and watched three of them climb on their bed. I couldn't help but smile at the way they struggled to get on the bed."Kids!" I shook my head but instantly stopped the second they turned to look at me. I wasn't going to let them catch me in the act of calling them kids."Now here's the th

Alexander's POV. "I saw him going into your room on my way here when I heard you were dying!" She blurted out, her face etched with fear as she spoke.She was obviously scared of Jackson, but I wasn't."What!?" I snapped, my eyes bulging out with fury as rage surged deep within me."How dare he try to step that stinking foot of his into my room?" I barked as I immediately released my grip on Summer's shoulders.I was intensely furious at this point, and nothing was going to stop me or hold me back from teaching that fool a lesson.He couldn't just go into my room and not do anything. He was surely going to cause problems.I was going to walk past Summer and head for Jackson's room, not minding if it was still too early to enter an Alpha's room.But then, Summer got a hold of my wrist and made me halt right on my track."Please don't do this; please don't go to him, please!" She begged, her eyes becoming moist, and her fingers digging into my skin."I'd prefer you don't beg or stop me

Summer's POV.I headed straight for the balcony on the left side of the mansion. The need to clear my head and find a moment of relaxation compelled me to seek comfort in the open air.Getting there, I opened the door, and instantly, I was welcomed by the fresh air that blew outside the mansion. The cool breeze offered a soothing embrace, providing a second escape from the difficulties within the walls of the mansion.With a smile on my lips, I walked slowly to the rail and placed my hand on it. I couldn't help but think about how sweet Alpha Alexander was to have the idea of taking my boys to school because their mommy woke up late. The genuine gesture warmed my heart, momentarily overshadowing the earlier tensions and misunderstandings."He should have woken me up, though!" I chuckled softly as I began to play with my fingers. The light laughter hinted at a sense of humour, easing the residual tension as I thought about the events of the morning.I was just so focused on what I w

Alexander's POV."Alpha Alexander, your father is on his way!" Beta Liam promptly announced in response to my inquiry about the reason for his presence in my room.My heart plummeted as his words hit me like a sledgehammer. The news blindsided me, shattering any expectations I had for the day. The mere thought of meeting my father, the Alpha of the Ravenwood pack, sent waves of fear and panic through me, leaving me grappling with an unexpected and unsettling reality.I was afraid of him and didn't really want him near me. He was a tough Alpha who didn't tolerate nonsense from anyone. And no matter how much I tried to show him my good side, he always focused on my flaws."What?" I gasped, my eyes getting wider as Beta Liam's words echoed in my head once more."Why? Why is he showing up at the mansion today, of all days?" I questioned, my eyes fixed on Liam, anxiously waiting for an answer to ease the growing fear and uncertainty swirling within me."I don't know for sure, Alpha Alexa

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
