Alexandrias gaze snapped up to meet mine, her expression betraying a hint of temptation.
At this point, Alexandria was out of options. This was her best bet for now, but whether shed take it hinged on the decision she was about to make.
She seemed torn, struggling internally. After a moment of silence, she held my gaze and scoffed, What good is your promise? Caleb is the Alpha, and the Thorn Edge Pack follows his command.
Caleb, who was standing beside me, shot Alexandria a cold look. If you stop causing trouble, I wont even waste a glance on you. Im not here to make your life harder on purpose.
Alexandrias expression darkened, caught in a new dilemma.
After a brief pause, she faced me squarely, as if resolved on her best course of action.
But just as she opened her mouth to talk, Neal burst out, What are you planning to do?

It was clear that Neals words had frightened Alexandria.
I couldnt help but frown. Neal seemed like a bad omen.
After silencing Alexandria, Neal turned to me with a sheepish expression and said, Dont frighten my daughter. Shes naive. Even if Caleb doesnt accept this child, our family will take care of it.
The absurdity of his statement struck me. Wasnt it Neal who had declared Alexandria wasnt his problem and left her at Calebs doorstep?
Neal went on, Debra, please, dont be jealous over my daughter. Everyone knows our Alpha is a charmer.

Even if you push my daughter away, others will hover around him. If you want to remain his Luna, youll have to overlook these things.
I felt nauseous listening to Neal, an odious old man, trying to lecture me.
Caleb gripped my hand tightly and scoffed at Neal, Just because you have a child out of wedlock, you assume all men do?
Neals face stiffened with embarrassment at his secret being revealed.
Alexandrias expression one of shock when she heard her father had a child out of wedlock.
It was my first encounter with such matters, and frankly, I was appalled. Unwilling to waste more time on these scoundrels, I discreetly tugged on Calebs sleeve and murmured, How can we convince Alexandria to take the paternity test with that man?
We were all privy to the truth about Alexandrias child, yet I yearned for them to surrender once and for all. Otherwise, Alexandria and her father would continue to stir trouble for us using the child as leverage.
Caleb pondered for a moment before responding, I have a plan.
He then promptly extracted his phone and composed a message.
As I wondered about Calebs next move, a team of doctors and nurses abruptly entered.
They proceeded without a word, pinning Alexandria down to draw her blood. Once collected, they departed with the man in tow.
The medical team executed the procedure with such speed and precision.
