When he usually stayed by the balcony whenever he was here or while he waddled to the Maribel’s partaking, loud and chirpy noises were flowing around him, seeping within the alpha and bringing along with them a muffled, stifling ache of sorts. So it’s a happy family, huh, Maribel and Knox’s neighbors. He wondered who lived there.Axel had let out a deep sigh, hands shaking as he unlocked the guest door and let his dark and silent home consume his soul.

Oh, well, it wouldn’t last too long anyway.“Cue waterworks in 3, 2—”This time Maribel didn’t get to finish his countdown when Ari’s wails filled the entranceway. Usually, they made it back to the room before the pink-haired omega’s baby girl would start screaming and crying to bring back the children she had grown so attached to over the months. “There, there, my baby, my love, it’s okay, they’ll be back tomorrow,” Maribel tried to soothe her, nuzzling and scenting the baby.

"She's not bound to you, Maverick, and she can make her decisions freely."The words were a direct challenge to Maverick's claim of ownership over Esmeralda. Axel's voice held a touch of defiance, making it clear that he wouldn't yield to his brother's attempts to dictate Esme's choices.Maverick, on the other hand, bristled at the retort. His pride as an alpha was on the line, and he wasn't going to let Axel undermine his authority."And then what? You think she would go for someone like you? Esme needs a strong alpha," Maverick r

REBIRTH OF ESMERALDA .Chapter 25: uncharted territory.In the quiet sanctuary of Axel's room, an air of melancholy hung like a shroud.
