Chapter 53

• ALPHA JAMES POV
• I was surprised when I received a message from Akayla asking me to meet her at the edge of the woods. I hadn't seen or heard from her since the night she told me about Rosella’s pregnancy, and I wondered what she could want from me now.
• Despite my reservations, I found myself making my way towards the meeting spot, my heart racing with anticipation and anxiety. These few days have made my choices clearer and I know I’ve been playing myself.
