For Alaric, nothing else mattered in this world, apart from getting his Aleksis back. The children were just nice bonuses. He never knew that he had two kids with his wife.
He was very surprised. He felt his chest churn in excitement when he found out that the two adorable children were his own flesh and blood ...

Although his heart ached because they could not yet accept him, he must tolerate this fact since he was not in their lives for ten years. He must be fair and let Nicolae be the father chosen by his children. He could not force his way in.
True love means letting go. He would never force his kids to love him back ...
