Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire (Maya and Alex)

Chapter 91

I couldn't stay. Not after what my mother said. The thought of being the reason my father lost his wife, the fear of what he might do to me if that happened... It was too much. I grabbed the twins and got us out of there.

shoulders.

He groaned as I applied pressure. The tension slowly started to seep out of him.

"What if..." I started, "What if you broke the merge with my father? You and your wolves could walk away. Let them destroy each other if that's what they want."
