Avoiding My Alpha Baby Daddy Chapter 37. The Switch.
Naya’s POVThe morning had been a mess of anxiety.I told myself it was expected that every mother worried about their child’s first day of school and that every parent felt that crushing ache when they had to let go. But deep down, I knew this was different.I wasn’t just any mother. Aiden wasn’t just any child.I had already lost a son before.And I had spent years fearing it would happen again.Tobias had tried to reassure me, standing solid beside me as we waved Aiden off to school. I had barely slept the night before, checking and rechecking his backpack, ensuring his clothes were perfect, and giving him too many hugs.Now, standing in the kitchen with a cup of coffee I wasn’t drinking, I stared blankly at the clock. Each minute stretched, clawing at my nerves.Tobias watched me from the couch, legs stretched out, arms crossed, pretending to read a newspaper. He hadn’t turned a page in ten minutes.“You can’t sit at the window all day,” he said.I scowled. “I’m not sitting at the

Agent Callum’s POVI knew this mission was going to be a pain in the ass the second we grabbed the kid.It should have been simple—retrieve the Alpha’s long-lost son, clean him up, hand him over, and be done with it. A textbook recovery operation.But from the moment we brought the kid in, nothing felt right.We had dumped him on the medical cot as soon as we arrived, letting the pack healer do her thing. He was a mess—dirty, bruised, his tiny body curled in on itselfThe woman ran a hand over him, checking for wounds. “Mild concussion,” she murmured. “No serious injuries.”Good. That meant he’d be fit to see the Alpha soon, and we could be done with this.But then the kid woke up.And all hell broke loose.---His eyes fluttered open, dark lashes blinking slowly.At first, he just stared at the ceiling, his small face scrunched up in confusion. Then his nose twitched, and his expression shifted—wariness, unease. His fingers twitched against the blanket.Then his eyes flickered to u

Kieran’s POVThe drive back to the manor was tense.Julian sat in the back seat, bundled in a thick blanket, his small form pressed into the leather upholstery. His hands were tucked into his lap, gripping the fabric of his new clothes like a lifeline.He hadn’t said a word.Not when they changed him.Not when they wrapped him in the blanket.Not when I had crouched in front of him and told him we were going home.His silence wasn’t normal.The boy I remembered—the son that was kidnapped just three days ago—was never this quiet. He was small but fierce and stubborn, always asking questions and always challenging even the biggest of warriors.But this child?This child was barely breathing.I watched him from the front seat, my fingers drumming against my knee. His eyes were glassy unfocused, darting around the car like he was mapping an escape route. His body was tense, stiff as a board like he expected something to hurt him at any second.Every few minutes, his hands would tremble,

Kieran's POVI wasn’t going to rely on guesswork.I needed a professional.Dr Holden arrived the following day. He was an older man with greying hair and a kind of calm, unreadable expression that made it impossible to express his thoughts. He was a child psychologist, the best in his field, and if anyone could figure out what was going on, it was him.I stood off to the side, watching as he carefully approached the bed where Julian sat.“Hello, Julian,” he said gently. “My name is Dr. Holden. I’m here to help.”Julian’s fingers curled a little tighter around the blanket.Dr. Holden crouched slightly, keeping his voice slow and measured. “You’ve been through a lot, haven’t you?”Nothing. The boy didn’t even blink. He just shuffled closer to the wall and sniffled.Dr. Holden glanced at me before continuing, “It’s okay if you don’t want to talk yet. I know this situation is very confusing. But I promise you’re safe.”Still nothing.Dr. Holden straightened, adjusting his glasses. “It’s s

Kieran's POVBy the time I got him settled into the car, his resistance had died down to nothing more than a stubborn sulk.I shut the door gently, resting my hands against the frame, exhaling slowly.Then, without warning—A sharp wave of emotion slammed into me.I gripped the car door tighter, squeezing my eyes shut.Naya.I had spent years trying to forget her. Trying to erase every trace of her from my life.But no matter how much I tried, she was still there.In the boy sitting in the car, curled up in silence.In the ache in my chest that never quite went away.In the memories that haunted me when I was alone.She had left me.She had abandoned us.She had walked away and never looked back.And I—I had never forgiven her for it.A quiet, shaky breath escaped me. I pressed my forehead against the car door, trying to regain my composure.Then, after a long moment, I wiped my face with the back of my hand, squared my shoulders—And got in the car.Taking another deep breath I was

Isadora's POVThe doctor left immediately after, understandably unsettled.I was still deep in thought when the door opened again.Kieran stepped inside, his face tired, his eyes shadowed.He looked at me first, then at the boy, frowning slightly. “What’s wrong?”I blinked. “What?”“You’re pale as a sheet.” His brows furrowed. “did something happen while I was gone?”I hesitated.Then, without missing a beat, I put on my best heartbroken mother's face, letting my lip tremble slightly.“It’s nothing,” I murmured, my voice thick. “I just… It’s hard seeing him like this.”I glanced at the boy, softening my tone.“Our poor little Julian.”Kieran exhaled, running a hand through his hair. He looked utterly drained, his usual sharpness dulled by exhaustion.He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “Come on. It’s time to leave.”I nodded, smoothing out my dress and breathing a sigh of relief.Kieran turned and, telegraphing his movements, gently picked up Julian, shushing the boy when he whim

Tobias's POV The problem was getting worse.At first, I thought it was just the usual trauma—the kind any child would have after going through what he did. The fear, the silence, the nightmares. It all made sense.But now?Now, I wasn’t sure.The kid’s behaviour wasn’t just trauma. It was… wrong.He barely let Naya hold him.He flinched when she spoke too loudly.And worst of all—He kept asking to go home.Like he thought this wasn’t home.I had spent the last week doing everything I could to keep Naya calm, to make her believe that everything was fine, that her son’s sudden ability to speak after months of being mute was nothing but a miracle.But she wasn’t stupid.And I was running out of excuses.I stepped onto the small apartment balcony, phone in hand, and exhaled sharply. The night air was incredible, and the city was quiet except for the occasional hum of traffic below.I didn’t want to make this call.I ran a hand down my face.“It’s Aiden,” I muttered. “Something’s…off.”A

Isadora’s POVThe morning was already off to a terrible start.I had barely slept, not because I felt guilty—guilt was a useless emotion—but because I knew what was coming. My father wasn’t the kind of man who overlooked mistakes; I had made one. A big one.He was coming today to fix it.I sat in the grand sitting room, my tea untouched as I waited. The manor was quiet, but my nerves weren’t. I had sent the staff to ensure everything was in order, that Julian was kept occupied, and, most importantly, to keep Kieran away from this meeting. He had a council gathering today—an opportunity I wouldn’t waste.My father arrived precisely on time.The front doors swung open, and he stepped inside as if he owned the place.He was a man who commanded respect effortlessly. Even at his age, he was an imposing man.He removed his gloves slowly, eyes sweeping the room before settling on me. “Isadora.”I stood, smoothing out my dress and offering a polite nod. “Father,” I said sweetly.There wa

Avoiding My Alpha Baby Daddy Chapter 80. Connection.
AIDEN'S POVI froze, my heart slamming against my ribs like a wild drum.Julian stood there, his shadow spilling out behind him, and in his hand gleamed a small, wicked knife. He waved it at me like I was some enemy, some intruder he didn’t want near."Aiden?" he breathed, his voice a harsh whisper.My jaw dropped. He could see me? Isadora couldn't but Julian saw me. A thrill shot through me, so intense it almost knocked me out of my astral form. This was… amazing.He could see me!Suddenly, the knife didn't matter. The anger in his eyes faded into the background. All that mattered was that my brother, my twin, could see the real me. It meant we were connected.The words bubbled up inside me, a torrent of excitement that needed to be expressed. My hands flew into action, fingers wiggling and twisting, forming the rapid, intricate shapes of sign language. I bounced on the balls of my feet, unable to contain my joy.‘Julian! You're so cool! Best brother ever! Awesome! You can see me! Y
Avoiding My Alpha Baby Daddy Chapter 79. Soul Walking.
AIDEN'S POVI was standing in different room, the air thick with the smell of old books and dust. Light filtered through heavy curtains, casting the room in a dim, amber glow. I looked down at my hands, but they weren’t really there—just a faint outline, like smoke in sunlight.I tried to touch the desk, but my fingers slipped through it, leaving no mark."Hmm…" I tried to make a sound , but no noise came out. My voice was gone.I looked around once more, eyes widening as i tied to catalogue more details.It was a big room, filled with books and strange objects. There were shelves that reached all the way to the ceiling, packed with leather-bound volumes. There were globes and telescopes and strange, glass jars filled with… stuff.It looked like… the someone's study. But how did I get here?I looked around desperately, trying to make sense of it all, my heart thumping in my chest.Panic bubbled up inside me. “What’s happening?” I thought to myself.Just a moment ago, I had been in

NAYA'S POVThe soft glow of the light flickered against the walls of the cottage, casting long, wavering shadows that danced like restless spirits. Tobias and I sat close on the worn, threadbare couch, the fabric rough beneath my fingertips but comforting all the same. His arm was draped around my shoulders, pulling me in just enough to feel the steady warmth of his body against mine. Outside, the night was silent except for the occasional whisper of wind through the pines. Tobias had calmed me down earlier with all his assurances and I felt more settled in my skin. More secure.It was a lovely feeling after this afternoon of turmoil.But I couldn't stop thinking about it.I sighef before resting my head on Tobias’s chest, listening to the steady thump of his heartbeat, a rhythm that somehow anchored me in the swirling storm of my thoughts. The events of the day played over and over in my mind—the principal’s office, the harsh words from the other twin, the cruel laughter that see
Avoiding My Alpha Baby Daddy Chapter 77. Wedding Bells.
TOBIAS'S POV The drive back is quiet. A good quiet.Not like how it was when we left that godforsaken school.Aiden’s asleep in the backseat, his head tipped to the side and his little plush shark tucked under his arm like it’s made of gold. Naya’s beside me, her legs drawn up onto the seat, arms loosely wrapped around them. Her face is calm, and soft in the passing shadows of streetlights. She’s not smiling, exactly, but her face isn't in that strained blankness either.And I’ll take that. Hell, I’ll take it and wrap it in a bow.By the time we get home, Aiden’s blinking awake but too drowsy to fight when Naya lifts him into her arms.“Come on bug." She murmurs sweetly as she tucks the little boy into her side.He buries his face into her shoulder immediately, and she strokes his back, whispering something low in his ear I don’t catch.We walked into the house together, me switching on the lights and flooding the living space with a warm glow.Aiden scrunched his face at that but

TOBIAS'S POVI stepped toward her, the weight of Aiden pressed close to my chest, and reached out my hand.“Naya,” I said quietly, but she heard it. Her head jerked in my direction. Her eyes were glossy. Her breathing erratic.I didn’t give her a speech. I didn’t ask. I just slid my fingers into hers and pulled her hand into mine.It fit, soft and shaking but familiar. She didn’t fight it. Her eyes darted to mine, searching, asking—but I just squeezed her hand tighter and nodded once.“Let’s go,” I said gently.And we did.Without a word to the others, I pushed past them. Aiden’s head tucked against my shoulder, and Naya walked beside me, her chin high and eyes fixed ahead, even though I could feel the tremble in her limbs.The crowd parted for us like a wave. Maybe it was the look on my face. Maybe it was the sheer weight of everything that had happened, or maybe it was because they wanted nothing to do with us. I couldn't spare a thought for it, so we just walked past them.Naya

TOBIAS’S POVAnd the room was thick with it. The tension clung to the air, pressing down on everyone like humidity before the rain fell."What the hell is going on here?" I demanded.Isadora didn’t even blink. She scoffed, flicking a glance at me over her shoulder. "Well, well," she said with a cruel smirk. "Your boy toy has finally arrived."Naya’s eyes darted to me and narrowed immediately. "Don’t you dare talk about him like that," she snapped, her voice tight. "Just shut up, Isadora."The teacher standing by the desk looked like she wanted to sink into the floor.The principal, an older man with a belly barely contained by his vest, gave me a look of exhausted relief.I walked forward, ignoring the brewing fight between the two women, and glanced past Naya's shoulder.Aiden.My gut twisted.He was sitting by the principal's desk, his tiny frame hunched, his hands knotted in his lap. His eyes—those wide, knowing eyes—looked up at me, and there was fear in them. Not for himself. For

NAYA'S POVAt my retort, she stopped talking, her eyes revealing her confusion.Her head jerked around, her eyes finding Aiden, who had quietly drawn in the corner.She blinked, and for half a second, her mask cracked.Surprise. Embarrassment. She hadn’t even noticed him.But just as fast, it vanished under a sneer."How low could you sink, Naya? Lurking in the principal’s office like some…" She waved a hand vaguely, eyes glittering, "Shadow. Or were you trying to steal another child from a real mother?"I didn’t flinch. I’d had worse thrown at me, sharper claws, bloodier fights."You’re calling me out on morals? That’s rich, coming from the woman who waltzed into someone else’s home and snatched a kid like he was luggage," I said coldly.The principal cleared his throat, but no one was listening.The air had gone electric.Isadora scoffed, the sound derisive and mean. "You had zero respect for ranking. You should have known your place—an omega trying to speak in a world meant for bet

Naya's POVThe next day found myself in the supermarket, getting much-needed supplies for the cottage.I hurried through the last aisle of the store, a loaf of bread clutched under my arm and a basket weighed down with household items dangling from my wrist.It had taken far too long to find the right kind of dish soap, and now my anxiety gnawed at me, relentless and sharp. I checked the time on my phone: 1:20 PM.Just enough time to finish shopping and get home before Aiden was done with school.Or so I thought.My phone rang just as I was about to check out. The unfamiliar number on the screen sent a ripple of unease through my chest."Hello?" I answered, my breath hitching slightly."Ms. Naya? This is Principal Langston from the Pack Academy. I’m afraid there’s been an incident involving your child. We need you to come in immediately."Everything in me stilled. My heart, my breath, my thoughts. My fingers went slack, nearly dropping the phone."Aiden? What happened? Is he okay?" I
Avoiding My Alpha Baby Daddy Chapter 72. Rumors.
Naya's PovThe school is a stone building nestled at the northwest of the pack’s territory, guarded by wrought-iron gates that look too ancient to still be standing. Kids run around the courtyard, shrieking with laughter. Some look older, others barely past toddler age. I spot a boy with messy brown hair building something with sticks in the dirt while two girls hover beside him, arguing over shape and size.We pull into the parking lot, and I catch Aiden peering out the window, his eyes wide. There’s a flicker of nervousness there, and I feel it in my bones too.The last time I sent Aiden to school, he got kidnapped and switched, which started this entire rollercoaster, so I was right to be nervous.I step out, smoothing my sweater, and open the door for him. Tobias circles to the back, grabbing Aiden’s bag.We’re halfway to the school steps when a sleek black limousine pulls into the front circle.Tobias freezes, his brow furrowing, "What in the world..." Tobias muttered, hand ti
