Chapter 0019 Owen blinked at me , his brow furrowing . Huh ? I hate your parents , 1 added , just to make sure he knew . My monimy says your daddy is a bad man , so I hate you too ! For a second , he didnt say anything . I thought maybe he was mad or scared . Then he looked at me with big , dark eyes like a rabbit and said really quietly , L … I just want Door Ava to be my mom . His words made me freeze . My tummy did a weird flip , and spun around to face him . Whatd you say ? He stared down at his hands , fiddling with his fingers like was nervous . Doctor Ava … I want her to be my mommy too . Alexanders POV My foot tapped against my will against the carpet , my hand squeezing the pen over the paper , the office feeling more like a prison then my usual escape . The moment I saw her , the world stopped . My wolf stirred , restless and insistent . Its her , I growled in my mind . Lauren , But something was wrong . She didnt look at me the same way her gaze was cold , detached . And yet , her every movement , every breath , called to me . I was right ; I knew it in my soul . But the connection … it was off . I couldnt feel her wolf , the bond that had once tethered us . It doesnt matter , I told myself . Lauren or Ava , as she now called herself was alive . That was all that mattered . A few days later , Beta returned with the information Id asked for , information on Dr. Ava , but it left me with more questions than answers . Avas identity was a puzzle wrapped in shadows . The only solid lead was her connection to the Hailsing Medical Center , which shed co founded with some doctor named Liam shortly after Lauren was presumed dead . Presumed dead . The words still burned , a wound that never fully healed . I had mourned her , and cursed the heavens for taking her . Yet here she was , alive . She had hidden herself away , rebuilt her life , and walked back into my world with a new name , and no trace of the woman shed been Except … she wasnt entirely different . She couldnt hide everything . Not the tilt of her head or the soft lilt of her voice when she was nervous , I saw the Lauren I knew .. If shes alive , I thought , turning in my chair , folding my hands infront of my lips . Could our child be alive too ? That thought stopped me cold . Our child . Alpha , Beta said , breaking through my thoughts . He wa one the phone , his tone clipped and professional . When he hung up , his face was grim . Ava has decided to terminate the collaboration with the company and is leaving early . The voice in me howled , furious and desperate . Dont let her go ! +25 BONUS I wont let her leave ine again , I said aloud , my voice as resolute as the promise forming in my chest . Before I could act , a sharp knock sounded at the door , and Sophia swept in without waiting for an invitation . Her voice was sharp , her long red curls trailing behind her like fire . The shareholders are being ridiculous ! she snapped , not bothering with a greeting . Just because the company lost a little money , theyre ganging up on me in meetings ! I leaned back in my chair , watching her pace . Sophias knack for making everything about herself was becoming harder to ignore these days . She leaned over my desk , her anus crossed in a way that suggested she expected me to fix all her problems , as usual . Her toy company had been floundering for months a disaster of her own making . It only stayed afloat because I allowed it to . As she continued her tirade about how unfairly she was being treated , Beta shifted beside me , a spark of realization flashing in his eyes . Alpha , he said , cutting through Sophias complaints , I just remembered Sophias company recently breached a contract with Hailsings Medical Center . They had to pay a significant penalty . Sophia whipped her head toward him , her tone defensive . That wasnt my fault ! Their boss is impossible to work with . He nitpicks everything ! She threw her hands in the air , exasperated . Its not like I wanted to break the contract . I tuned her out . Hailsings Medical Center . The pieces clicked together in my mind , one by one . Beta , I said , cutting Sophia off mid sentence , my voice steady and decisive . He turned to me , already anticipating my next move . Im buying that hospital , I said , my plan solidifying. Sophia stopped mid rant , blinking at me in surprise , but I didnt offer her an explanation . Let Lauren run . Id catch her .
