Chapter 135
Alexander’s POV
I watched Summer’s eyes widen at my question, her lips parting slightly in surprise.
Knotting was sacred among our kind–the deepest connection an alpha could form with his mate, and often led to creating new life.
“Are you sure?” Summer whispered, her fingers tracing the contour of my jaw. “That’s… that’s a big step, Alexander.”
My wolf, Orion, pawed restlessly inside me, desperate to claim her completely. Through our connection, I could sense her wolf Aurora’s reciprocal desire, but also something else–a shadow of old pain that never quite disappeared.
“I’ve never been more certain of anything,” I told her, pressing my forehead against hers. “I want to share everything with you, Summer. I want to create a family with you.”
I hesitated, knowing I needed to address what Orionhad sensed from Aurora.
“I know Felix will always hold a special place in your heart. Nothing could ever replace him.” I brushed a strand of hair from her face, feeling her tremble beneath me. “But perhaps… perhaps having another child to love might help heal some of that pain.”
Tears glistened in her eyes as she processed my words. I knew she still carried the grief of losing her son
-a wound that would never fully close. I wasn’t trying to erase that memory, only to give her new joy alongside it.
“I think about him every day,” she admitted softly. “But you’re right. I’ve been afraid to even consider
having another child. Afraid of loving that deeply again.”
I kissed away a tear that had escaped down her cheek. “We’d face whatever comes together, my love. I’d
never let anything happen to you or our pups.”
Summer’s hand slid to the back of my neck, pulling me down for a kiss that conveyed everything words couldn’t. When she pulled away, her eyes had darkened with determination and desire.
“Yes,” she whispered against my lips. “I want your knot, Alexander. I want to try for a family with you.”
A growl of approval rumbled from my chest as I claimed her mouth again, our wolves surging forward with primal hunger. Summer’s legs wrapped around my waist as I positioned myself at her entrance,
already slick with arousal.
I pushed into her slowly, savoring the exquisite sensation of her body yielding to mine. She gasped against my mouth, her nails digging into my shoulders as I filled her completely.

“Mine,” I growled, my alpha instincts taking over as I began to move inside her.

Summer matched my rhythm, her hips rising to meet each thrust as pleasure built between us. Our mating bond flared brilliantly, amplifying every sensation until I could barely tell where my pleasure ended and hers began.
“Harder,” she demanded, her voice husky with need. “I need all of you.”
I growled in response, my wolf close to the surface as I increased my pace, driving into her with an intensity that had her moaning my name. The knowledge that we might be creating a new life together only heightened the pleasure, adding a deeper meaning to our joining.
As I felt my release approaching, I leaned down to capture her mouth again, my kiss possessive and hungry. “I want to knot you,” I growled against her lips. “Fill you with my seed until there’s no doubt you’ll carry my pup.”
“Yes,” she gasped, her inner muscles tightening around me as her first climax washed over her. “Give me everything.”
Her release triggered my own, and I felt my knot begin to swell, locking us together as I spilled deep inside her. The sensation triggered another powerful wave of pleasure for Summer, her back arching as
she cried out my name.
As we lay there afterward, still joined by my knot, I held her close to me.
“Are you okay?” I whispered, concerned I might have hurt her despite her earlier agreement.
Her answer was a smile of such radiant joy that it stole my breath. “More than okay,” she whispered, pulling me down for a tender kiss. “I feel… complete.”
