Chapter 11
I turned to leave-
But then I heard something at the end of the hallway.
From Felix’s room.
I walked over, pushed the door open.
Moore was sitting cross–legged in the middle of the plush carpet, carefully building a small block city.
It was the birthday gift I had given Felix.
“Daddy!” Moore’s eyes lit up.
“Can you help me build? I want to make it really tall!”
Then he looked up at me, hesitant.
“Also… can I live in this room?”
A sharp pain stabbed through my chest.
Just last month, Felix had looked up at me the same way.
“Daddy, will you build with me?”
And what did I say?
“Daddy’s busy. Later.”
But later never came.
Because my attention was always on Suzanna and her son.
I ignored Felix over and over again.
“This room doesn’t belong to you,” I said, my voice raw.
“Get out.”
Moore blinked, confused. “Daddy?”
“I said get out!” I snapped.
“And don’t ever set foot in this room again!”
Tears welled up in his eyes. He took a step back, frightened.
“Alpha Foster!”
Suzanna rushed in, shielding Moore in her arms.
“Do you even realize how terrifying your tone just was?!”
“Crash-!”
The block city collapsed.
Pieces scattered across the floor.

Among the mess, a small clay figurine rolled to a stop at my feet.
I froze.
It was the one we made together at Felix’s first parent–child activity.
He had held it up proudly that day, saying:
“This is Daddy. This is Mommy. And this is me.”
I even joked:
“Then you better keep it safe. The three of us have to stay together forever.”
Now the little sculpture was cracked in two-
Like a silent mockery of everything I once promised.
I couldn’t hold it in anymore.
I sank to the floor, covered my face, and broke down in tears.
I had lost them.
“Alpha Foster…”
Suzanna’s voice came from beside me.
She crouched down, gently placing a hand on my shoulder.
“I know this is hard. But you still have me. And Moore. Luna Summer and Felix leaving might be a good thing for you—”
Disgust surged in my chest.
I shoved her hand away, my voice a growl.
“Get out.”
At that moment, a low voice echoed from the doorway.
“Alpha. You’re back.”
I turned sharply, eyes blazing.
Sean stood at the door, his expression torn.
1 stormed over, grabbed his collar, and slammed him against the frame.
“Why didn’t you tell me?!”
“Alpha-”
“Why didn’t you tell me Summer took Felix and left?!”
My roar shook the hallway. Suzanna went completely silent.
Sean’s voice was steady, but low.
“We tried to contact you immediately… but you had blocked the mindlink.”
I froze.

Chapter 11
Last night flashed through my mind-
The dim lights in the suite.
Suzanna’s bare shoulders.
Her whispers in my ear.
Yes.
I had cut off the mindlink on purpose–so I could “relax.”
The realization made my stomach churn.
I nearly threw up.
“Alpha?” Sean asked cautiously.
I didn’t respond.
I leaned against the wall, crushed under the weight of regret.
Summer… I’m sorry.
I finally understood-
I had driven them away with my own hands.
Just then, Aksher’s voice growled in my head.
“Pathetic. What good are your tears now?”
“If you’re still an Alpha, go get her back. Don’t just sit here.”
He was right.
I took a deep breath and straightened up.
“Sean. Pull the passenger manifests for all outbound flights in the last three hours. Now.”
Sean’s eyes sharpened. “Yes, Alpha.”
He turned and left immediately.
I slowly turned back to Suzanna, my expression ice–cold.
“You and your son. Out of the Alpha House. Now.”
Her eyes widened, color draining from her face.
“What?” she whispered. “Alpha Foster, what are you saying? You can’t-”
“Guards!” I barked. My voice cut through the air like a blade.
“Come in. Pack up their things. I want them gone within thirty minutes.”
Two Omega servants pushed the door open, bowed, and nodded. “Yes, Alpha.”
I didn’t look at her again.
I lowered my eyes, staring at the ring in my palm.
