She is my daughter. I can take her wherever I want. You can’t stop me. “I frown, shaking away the
sensations I feel when he is around.
Alpha Alexander’s cold eyes remain impassive. Something has changed in his gaze, and it makes
me feel like we are strangers. It’s like he wants nothing to do with me and can’t be bothered to talk
to me for more than a moment.
Isn’t that what I wanted? Yes.
But, it doesn’t feel that good.
“You can’t take her. “He repeats, before starting to walk past me.
Alpha Alexander, “I sigh, unconsciously reaching out to grab his wrist.
Sparks rush down my spine. I gasp, tightening my hold over him. These electric jolts haven’t died
even after rejection.
He stops and looks at me. The height difference between us makes me crane my neck back so I
can look into his eyes. Slowly, his eyes lower to my hand wrapped around his wrist. The indifference
and warning reflecting in his gaze is clear to me. I let go of him. My feet move back to create
distance between us cautiously.
You can’t-
If you don’t want me to throw you out of my packhouse, I suggest do what I say. Don’t try to defy
me.” He says in his throaty voice.
I swallow the next words as I look into his silver eyes. He is serious. I can tell.
Okay. “I nod, not wanting to drag this issue.
He is angry right now. So, it’s no use talking to him. Once he settles down and stops being so
interested in getting on my nerves, I can take A out then.
I leave him the sight. It make
and walk back to my room. The heat of his intense gaze burns into my back until I am in the line of
his e shudder and quicken my steps.
—1 dayter—
Mommy. “A jumps in myp as I watch my reflection in the vanity mirror.
1 am wearing a in white dress that reaches my knees. It’s sleeveless and has a plunging V-neck
that reveals a decent amount of my cleavage. Daphne has forced me to wear natural makeup too,
and it feels strange because I have never gotten ready for Theo before. What is he going to think?
Aunt Daphne shaid you are going out with Theo. Why are you not taking me?” She scrunches her
nose.
I smile and press my lips to her cute nose. She rolls her eyes and clings to my neck like she always
does.
Daddy wants to spend time with you, baby. “I whisper softly.
Daddy shpends sho much time with me. She tells me excitedly.
Thave seen how Alpha Alexander visits her room every
to meet her during the day too. He is forming a bond with A and day by day, it’s strengthening.
Maybe, he is not good for me. But he is great for my baby. She is a lot happier since she came
here.
Can Theoe here? “She asks hopefully.
I inhale a deep breath. I can’t bring myself to tell her that her Daddy won’t agree to something like
this..
Your Mommy is going on a date with Theo, A. They are going to spend some time alone.”
Daphne chuckles from behind me.
Daphne. “My cheeks flush as I see her in the mirror’s reflection.
Date. “A’s eyes widen.
Of course, she can’t know what a date is so I open my mouth to tell her that—
Are you going to marry Theo, Mommy?” Her big eyes stare at me.
I dose my mouth, surprised that she already knows such things. She is supposed to be two and a
half years old but she already has a mind of an older child. I am noticing this again today, and I am
recalling how the pack doctor told me that she is not a normal baby.
“If everything goes well, yes baby.” Daphne walks closer and pats A’s small head.
Ish he going to be Daddy?” Her little voice questions.
I am shocked on
“A baby—-
again. I can’t miss the hint of fear and doubt in her eyes.
“No! I already have Daddy. Theo ish my friend. He can’t be Daddy. “A jumps out of myp all of a
sudden.
A. “I frown. She has never behaved like this before.
“No. Don’t talk to me, Mommy! I am going to Daddy. I have a Daddy. I don’t need another Daddy.
“She yells before running towards the door.
I get up, ready to print behind my daughter and catch her when Daphne grabs my shoulder and
stops me.
Theo is here.” She tells me.
I frown, staring at the open door. A’s changing behavior is rming. When did she start thinking
like this anyway? Why didn’t I notice this before?
You shouldn’t have told A that. “I sigh.
She is sulking but she will be fine, La. You should go meet Theo outside before Alpha Alexander
comes across him. I will look after A when you are gone.” She squeezes my shoulder.
I release a soft breath. If they both indeede across each other, I have a hunch it will be a
disaster.
*Thank you, D. Please tell A that everything will be just like she wants. “I whisper before walking
towards the door,
“Have fun, La. Leave A to me. She shouts from behind.
1 smile, but can’t stop myself from thinking about the look in my baby’s eyes. She looked so angry
and hurt at the thought of someone elseing into my lif

I hope it doesn’t be a problem.
Once Ie back, I will talk to my baby and tell her that I will never do something to upset her. Her
happiness is all that
matters to me.
Theo’s Bugatti parked. He is standing beside it, wearing at I walk out of the packhouse and into the
driveway where I se ck suit with a white button-down shirt. His hair is styled back with gel,
revealing his soft eyes that are drawn to me the moment I step out of the main door.
I guess I did right by listening to Daphne and getting ready properly. I run a hand down my dress
and walk in his direction.
A wide smile spreads on his lips. He straightens up when I near him before his eyes go behind me
and confusion starts reflecting in them.
“Hey. “Ie to a halt in front of Theo.
“Where is A?” His brows rise in confusion.
Uhm—She wants to spend some time with Alpha Alexander. “I shrug, finding it hard to meet his
eyes when I am lying.
She doesn’t want to go with us?” He looks surprised.
Of course, she does. Theo. “I blurt.
But you just said-
I step closer to him and ce my hand over his chest unconsciously.
“Let’s just go. Okay! I whisper.
Theo’s gaze lowers to my hand. The tips of his cars turn red as he nods and steps back.
My cheeks flush when I realize how close I really got to him just now. Theo opens the car’s door for
me and gestures at me to get in with a genuine smile on his lips.
I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear and nce over my shoulder, at the huge bungalow behind
me. My hand pauses close to my ear when my eyes find the dark silhouette standing on the terrace,
staring deep into my soul. His eyes shine in the darkness surrounding him.
Alpha Alexanur. His name echoes in my mind. I shudder and turn around to get inside.
Theo closes the door and walks to the other side to take the driving seat. My heart beats like crazy. I
can feel the side of my face burning as his eyes drill holes in me.
Just what does he want? Why does he look so murderous? N?velDrama.Org content rights.
Theo’s scent wraps around me. I nce at him. He is everything Alpha Alexander is not. Kind,
generous, and considerate.
But why can’t he send those thrilling shudders down my back?
I sigh, realizing what I am doing again.
I don’t want topare the two men. I want to enjoy Theo’spany and findfort in him.
But how can I do that when the storm in the pair of silver eyes follows me everywhere?
