Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Healing, Allies, and New Beginnings

Alexander Lionel Tennyson sat in the sleek command room of Avalon Group, reviewing reports from the elite teams he had deployed across the universe. A notification pinged on his system.

"Your mother and family have gone to Gwen's house to confront her."

A small, rare smile tugged at Alex's lips. For the first time since the heartbreak, he felt a sense of comfort. His family had always been there for him—and now, even in the wake of Gwen's rejection, they were ready to have his back.

Outside the villa, Gordon Tennyson, Betty Jean Tennyson, Joel Tennyson, and Camille Mann watched Alex with pride. They had seen him sink into the depths of heartbreak, but now, he was emerging stronger and more composed than ever. Their hearts swelled with relief.

Meanwhile, the girls Alexander had summoned and formed deep bonds with—Lucy Mann, Charmcaster, Velgrynd, Velzard, Venelana Bael, Grayfia Lucifuge, and Albedo—met in a quiet gathering. After hours of conversation, they reached a unanimous conclusion: they would share the responsibility of protecting and loving Alex.

From that day onward, each of them found ways to make Alex happy. They took turns planning outings, dates, and moments of care—small gestures that reminded him he was deeply cherished.

Betty Jean, ever doting, approached the group one afternoon. "Girls… I want grandchildren someday," she said with a mischievous glint in her eye. The girls blushed furiously.

"Soon, Mrs. Tennyson… we promise," Grayfia, Venelana, and Albedo whispered in unison, their cheeks pink.

In the midst of all this, Ben Tennyson was finding his own path. Partnered with Rook Blonko, he traveled the globe protecting people from intergalactic threats. Naturally, he brought Alexander along on many missions, introducing him to Rook and giving Alex the chance to see the world from a hero's perspective. The two brothers shared laughter, strategy sessions, and moments of brotherly bonding—Ben proud to have Alex by his side.

On Gwen's side, life was moving forward, though her heart still carried the weight of the past. After the breakup and the shocking revelations about Alex, she threw herself into her studies, enrolling in the college of her dreams. She stayed busy, immersing herself in projects and clubs, trying desperately to distract her mind from thoughts of Alex.

Kevin, meanwhile, had established his own auto garage near Gwen's college. In between work, he took Gwen on a few dates, hoping to win her heart. Though she maintained a polite demeanor, Gwen's mind often wandered elsewhere, haunted by the memory of the boy she had once rejected—the boy who had silently sacrificed so much for her.

For Alex, life was taking a new turn. Surrounded by his family, allies, and devoted companions, he was slowly healing from the pain Gwen had caused, growing stronger in both heart and influence. Each day brought new missions, new adventures, and the quiet reassurance that, though one love had left him, the universe still had countless people willing to love, protect, and support him unconditionally.

And somewhere in the back of his mind, Alex's system silently tracked everything, waiting for the right moment when he might finally wield his power to shape his destiny… and perhaps, even Gwen's fate.
