He likes that for some s t u p i d reason and whenever I wake up with him around, he is clinging to me like a koala. clings to a tree. Alpha Alexander. “I moan in exhaustion as my hand instinctively moves to his soft hair. I am completely spent, too tired to move even when he does get up. But I have to get to Ayla and get her ready for school. Alpha– Just a little more.” He murmurs between my boobs before kissing the warm spot. My heart flutters in my chest. Understanding this man is impossible. He gives me mini heart attacks with his changing behaviors and moods. “I have to go to Ayla. She needs to get ready for school “I whisper, rubbing his nape with my thumb. His weight remains on top of me as his breaths scorch my skin.

I open my eyes to look at his ruffled hair and sleepy eyes. To my surprise, his hand slips between my thighs, and his thumb softly presses into my cli t. I wince, gritting my jaw. Are you still sore?” He asks, withdrawing his thumb. “A little. ” I nod. The worried expression on his face shifts to coldness. He gets on his knees and rolls his neck.

I stare at his chest, unable to control the way my heart beats at his words or how my breath hitches in my throat. Alpha Alexander gets up from the bed and disappears into the bathroom while I lay there, thinking about his words Chapter 45 I have heard so many people tell me that 1 am not alone, but something in the way he said it with keen certainty and a gruff complaint has touched my heart. I smile unconsciously and snuggle under the covers on his bed. Shortly after, I am drifting back to sleep because something in me knows that I can rely on him completely when it comes to Ayla. And for the first time in years, I sleep in without worry and care in the world. When I wake up again, it’s already midday and Ayla is in her school. I take a warm both and change Alpha Alexander’s sheets before strolling out of his room, only to end up stumbling upon my nemesis of a best friend.

I suck in a huge breath, finding my shoulders shaking with the effort. “I know it’s wrong to want Alpha Alexander, D.” No. That’s not what I meant.” She shakes her head. What do you mean then I wonder, leaning back. “You want Alpha Alexander and you willingly want to spend a night with him but at the same time, you are fueling Theo’s hope for you. Layla That is what’s wrong for me.” She looks into my eyes. My shoulders slump. I tried thinking about this before, but I ended up concluding that I would just resist Alpha Alexander and focus on Theo which might solve all my problems. What do I do?” I mumble. “You should clearly tell Theo that you are not committing to him yet. Stop all those activities with him for the time being. Layla And go for Alpha Alexander. “She states.
