Chapter 150

• Vanessa’s POV
• Despite my best efforts to guard my heart, I found myself falling for Alexander all over again. I tried so hard not to fall after everything that had happened, but my fragile heart had always belonged to him. I used to think I only loved Alpha Alexander as my best friends' father, but as I grew older, my thoughts about him changed. I started imagining what he looked like shirtless, wondering about the man beneath the surface.
• My first fantasies had been about an older man with a young girl, something I brushed off at the time. Now, it's clear: I wanted him even before I knew I loved him. Each thoughtful gesture, each surprise, chipped away at the walls I had built around my emotions. The mere thought of him sent warmth spreading through me, my skin heating and my heart racing uncontrollably.
