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 p>
Then he looked up at me, hesitant.
“Also … can I live in this room p>
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 p>
And what did I say?
“ Daddy’s busy. Later p>
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 p>
Moore blinked, confused. “Daddy p>
“I said get out!” I snapped.
“And don’t ever set foot in this room again p>
Tears welled up in his eyes. He took a step back, frightened.
“Alpha Foster p>
Suzanna rushed in, shielding Moore in her arms.
“Do you even realize how terrifying your tone just was p>
“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 p>
I even joked:
“Then you better keep it safe. The three of us have to stay together forever p>
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 p>
Disgust surged in my chest.
I shoved her hand away, my voice a growl.
“Get out p>
At that moment, a low voice echoed from the doorway.
“Alpha. You’re back p>
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 p>
“Alpha p>
“Why didn’t you tell me Summer took Felix and left p>
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 p>
I froze.

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 p>
“ If you’re still an Alpha, go get her back. Don’t just sit here p>
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 p>
Sean’s eyes sharpened. “Yes, Alpha p>
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 p>
Her eyes widened, color draining from her face.
“What?” she whispered. “Alpha Foster, what are you saying? You can’t p>
“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 p>
Two Omega servants pushed the door open, bowed, and nodded. “Yes, Alpha p>
I didn’t look at her again.
I lowered my eyes, staring at the ring in my palm.
