Summer’ POV
Alpha Foster held Felix in his arms, his fingers gently brushing the top of Felix’s head, lips curved into a soft, doting smile.
But I could see it clearly—Felix’s eyes were filled with nothing but disgust.
Alpha Foster had absolutely no idea. He kept holding him all the way until we reached the car.
As he opened the door, he casually checked the child seat, speaking in an almost offhand tone:
“Summer, do you remember Suzanna? Her pup was sick for a while, right? He’s recovered now—pretty much ready to come back to the pack.”
He paused deliberately, adjusting his tone to sound more thoughtful.
“She’s an Omega, and she’s lost all her family. I was thinking… maybe she could stay at the Alpha House for a few days?”
As he spoke, he tilted his head to glance at my expression, then quickly added:
“Of course, just a suggestion. If you or Felix feel uncomfortable, we’ll forget it.”
“I don’t mind,” I replied blandly. “If you want her back, bring her back.”
“Thank you, Summer. You’re always so understanding... Mating with you is the greatest blessing of my life.”
Alpha Foster seemed slightly taken aback, but quickly smiled again.
What did he expect me to do?
Throw a fit? Break down crying? Demand to know why another Omega and her child were being brought into our home?
That was the old me.
Now, the only thing I care about is my child—and myself.
I didn’t answer him. I simply walked quietly to the backseat and gently lifted Felix into my arms.
When we got back to the Alpha House, Foster quickly found an excuse to leave.
I knew exactly where he was rushing off to—to make arrangements for Suzanna’s return to the pack.
I didn’t stop him. I didn’t say a word. I didn’t even bother to look at him.
My only concern was Felix.
I looked over and saw him sitting in the corner of the couch, his favorite little wolf plushie at his feet.
He was hugging it tightly, eyes blank, as if he had sunk completely into a silent, bottomless void.
I sat beside him and gently pulled him into my arms.
“Felix,” I whispered, my voice soft, but filled with a strength I’d never had before, “Mommy needs to tell you something.”
He didn’t look up, but his ears twitched slightly—a sign he was listening.
I took a deep breath and ran my fingers through his soft hair, my fingertips brushing over the cold surface of his prosthetic eye.
Pain twisted in my chest, but I forced myself to stay calm.
“We’re leaving this house.”
His small body trembled slightly. Then, finally, he looked up at me.
“Leave?” he asked softly. His voice was barely audible, like the rustling of leaves in the night.
“Yes,” I nodded, my gaze tender yet unwavering.
“We’re leaving this fake, heartless pack. Leaving the one who only knows how to hurt us.
The farther away we go, the better. Ideally… we’ll never see Alpha Foster again.”
Felix stared at me, as if trying to make sure I truly meant it.
“Where are we going?” he asked.
I hugged him gently.
“To a place where no one will laugh at you, where no one will lie to you.
A place that truly belongs to us.”
He was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
In that moment, I saw a flicker of light in his eyes—like a spark finally reigniting after being smothered for too long.
