My Billionaire Husband Gifted me a Surrogate for Christmas
Catherina Hanshaw Dalton has spent six years believing she lived a fairytale, married to billionaire Xavier Dalton, cherished by him, and building a life rooted in devotion, even amid one heartbreak she cannot control: their inability to have a child. Though Xavier assures her she is enough, Catherine senses his quiet disappointment, a wound deepened by the venomous hostility of his mother, Lydia Dalton. Lydia never misses a chance to insult Catherine’s infertility, idolize Xavier’s sister Mia and her children, or imply Xavier married beneath his status. Catherine endures it all, clinging to the one constant comfort, Xavier always defends her. Or so she believes.
This Christmas, however, Catherine’s dread of another humiliating Dalton family gathering turns into confusion. Lydia is gracious….kind, even. The manor is full of relatives, business partners, and esteemed guests, including Hunter Powell, Xavier’s ruthless business rival. The brief moment when Cathy’s eyes meet Hunter unsettles her, but nothing prepares her for Lydia’s “special Christmas gift.”
During the toast, Lydia presents Caroline Turner…a beautiful young woman who is allegedly four months pregnant through surrogacy…with Xavier’s child.

Chapter: Chapter 69: Decision MadeCathy’s P.O.VThe pain hit slowly and deep across my cheek, radiating outward like something had been cracked open beneath the skin. My head had snapped to the side with the force of it and for a moment the room tilted, the furniture blurring at the edges, the fireplace light swaying.I blinked. And when my vision steadied, the first thing I focused on was Caroline.She was sitting exactly where she had been, her hands folded in her lap, but the corners of her mouth had shifted. Just slightly. Just enough. A small, private curve that she wasn't even trying to fully hide. She caught me looking and her eyes stayed steady on mine, unbothered and amused, the way someone watches a scene they have already seen the ending of.That look told me everything.This had not been an ambush born from Lydia's concern or Xavier's frustration. This had been arranged. They had sat in this room and waited for me to walk through that door and this, all of it, had been theater. And I was the only one who h

Chapter: Chapter 68: Lydia’s InterferenceCathy’s P.O.VThe Dalton mansion looked the same as it always did in the morning light.It looked cold, grand and perfectly arranged, like a painting that existed only to impress people who were passing by. The stone driveway curved wide and the hedges on either side were trimmed so precisely they looked almost artificial. I had driven through this entrance hundreds of times and never once felt like I was coming home.This morning felt no different.Except that it did, because the moment I rounded the bend in the driveway and the front of the house came fully into view, I saw it.A third car.Parked beside Xavier's and behind Caroline's rental, tight against the left side of the drive, was a sleek black vehicle I recognized without needing to read the plates. I had seen that car pull up to enough family dinners and formal events to know exactly who it belonged to.Lydia Dalton.My stomach tightened before my brain had even fully processed it. I pulled up slowly and sat in the car for

Chapter: Chapter 67: Can’t Go Back HomeCathy’s P.O.VThe elevator doors opened and the lobby of Hunter's building greeted me with its cold marble floors and its sharp, clean lighting. I walked through it slowly, my coat pulled tight around me, the prenup tucked inside my bag against my ribs.But my mind was still back upstairs, the whole conversations was still replaying in my head.Sophia, bathtub, gifts laid out beside her like a farewell arrangement. Death.I pushed through the revolving door and stepped outside and the cold hit me immediately, the kind that reaches through fabric and finds skin. I stood on the pavement for a moment and just breathed. The street was quieter than it had been when I arrived. Fewer cars. Fewer people. The city was settling into itself the way it does in the late hours, slower and softer but never fully still.Then I felt something. Something light and cold on my cheek. I looked up.Snow was falling. Small, unhurried flakes drifting down from a dark sky, catching the light from the streetla

Chapter: Chapter 66: The Hidden Past Part 2Cathy’s P.O.VShe took her life. That statement kept repeating in my head over and over, like a broken tape recorder.She killed herself, ended her life because of a worthless man, because of a man who took advantage of her love and devotion.I turned it over in my mind slowly. Sophia. A girl I had never heard of. A girl who had existed, loved, and suffered, all before I ever walked into Xavier's life. And he had never once let her name pass his lips in my presence."What happened to her, how did she even kill herself without no one seeing her, no one to rescue her?" I asked, my voice was barely above a whisper.Hunter looked at me carefully, the way someone looks at another person before delivering news that cannot be taken back once it is spoken. He took a slow, deep breath and delivered the devastating news."Her body was found in her dorm room," he said. "In the bathtub. Both her wrists had been slit."I stopped breathing for a second."And beside her," Hunter continued, his voice

Chapter: Chapter 65: The Hidden Past Part 1Cathy’s P.O.VI pulled my hand back slowly. Not because I wanted to do that, but because his words had reached somewhere so unexpected inside me that my whole body needed a moment to catch up with what my ears had just heard. It almost felt like…he was speaking a different language entirely, a language I couldn’t understand."What do you really mean...when you say…you've been in love with me?" I asked.The question came out careful, almost cautious, like I was afraid the answer might be something I had misunderstood. Like if I pushed too hard on it, it would turn out to be something else entirely.Hunter didn't seem rattled by the question. He leaned back slightly, giving me room to breathe, and folded his hands loosely in his lap."There was a charity auction," he began. "About two years ago. You came with Xavier."I remembered it. A cold evening in November, a grand ballroom full of people I barely knew, champagne I barely touched, and a bidding war over a painting I found neither i

Chapter: Chapter 64: Nowhere to GoCathy’s P.O.VThe prenup stared back at me from the coffee table like it had eyes.I had opened it, yes. I had looked at the first page, at the neat columns of legal language and the cold formality of it all, and then something inside me had simply refused to go further. My fingers had gone cold the moment I touched it. Not the kind of cold that comes from the weather. The kind that starts somewhere in your chest and travels outward, extremely cold and missed with shock.I leaned back against Hunter's sofa and pressed the back of my head into the cushion, staring up at the ceiling. The mug of tea sat half finished on the table. The city outside the window buzzed and glittered, completely unbothered.My mind drifted back to earlier. To the moment before I left the house, when I had slipped back upstairs into the bedroom I used to share with Xavier. The guest room was where I slept now, but I had tiptoed into that old room like I had no right to be there anymore. Like a stranger, a thie

Chapter: Chapter 19: Claimed LunaAmelia’s P.O.VThe dust of war had finally settled, leaving behind a silence that didn't feel heavy with dread, but light with the promise of a new beginning. The blood-soaked battlefields were being reclaimed by the earth, and the screams of the dying had been replaced by the rhythmic humming of a pack in recovery.For the first time since I had been dragged onto that auction stage in chains, I could breathe without feeling a weight pressing against my lungs.The Moretti estate, once a place of gilded terror and confusing luxury, had become my sanctuary. I stood before the floor-to-ceiling mirror in my dressing room, staring at the woman reflecting back at me.I was draped in a gown of shimmering silver and moonlight, the fabric clinging to curves that had been mapped, claimed, and worshipped by three different men. My skin glowed, not just from the expensive oils, but from the raw, supernatural power of the Catalyst humming beneath my surface.I remembered the girl I used to be—the

Chapter: Chapter 18: Inside OutAmelia’s P.O.VThe adrenaline of the battle was still humming through my veins, a golden vibration that refused to settle. The scent of ozone, blood, and victory clung to the air, but as the heavy oak doors of our master suite clicked shut, the world outside ceased to exist.There was only the three of them—my protectors, my mates, my kings—and the raw, starving hunger radiating from their bodies.They didn't lead me to the bed so much as they hauled me toward it, their movements frantic and possessive. The tenderness they had shown me during my healing was still there, but it was now overlaid with a primal, territorial rage.They had almost lost me; they had seen me as a target for another man's greed; and now, they needed to mark every single inch of me until there was no doubt in the universe who I belonged to."Our Luna," Luca groaned, his voice a low, vibrating rumble that shook my chest. He didn't wait for me to move, his large hands gripping my waist and hoisting me up onto the

Chapter: Chapter 17: The Luna AwakensAmelia’s P.O.VThe aftermath of the rescue had left me in a state of raw, vibrating intensity. The brothers wouldn't let me leave their sight, but the tenderness they showed me had evolved. It was no longer just about healing my wounds; it was about preparing me.For weeks, the estate became a sanctuary of learning. Luca taught me the intricacies of pack politics and the strategic layout of the territories. Marco showed me how to read the subtle shifts in a werewolf's body language—the flick of an ear, the low rumble in a chest—that signaled aggression or submission.Dante, in his own cold, disciplined way, pushed my physical limits, teaching me how to move with stealth and how to strike where it hurt most.But there was something else. Something humming beneath my skin that none of them could quite explain, though they all felt it.It happened during a training session in the gardens. I was exhausted, my lungs burning, and as I looked at the brothers—their faces tight with the stress

Chapter: Chapter 16: Captured AgainAmelia’s P.O.VThe ride back from the Alpha King’s palace had been thick with a tension that felt like a physical weight. The brothers hadn't spoken much, but their scents, usually a comforting blend of cedar, rain, and dark musk—were sharp, metallic, and aggressive.They were in war-mode. I could feel it vibrating through the bond, a low-frequency hum of violence and possessiveness that made my own skin prickle.For a few days, the estate felt less like a home and more like a fortress. Guards were doubled, and the brothers rarely left my side. They treated me with a desperate kind of tenderness, as if I were made of spun glass, their touches lingering and hungry.But I knew Silas wouldn't just fade away. A man like that didn't accept a "no" from a King; he viewed it as a challenge.The attack happened on a random day.I had been in the library, the one place where I felt I could breathe, surrounded by old leather books and the scent of vanilla. Luca had been in a meeting with the pac

Chapter: Chapter 15: The Rival PackAmelia’s P.O.VThe silence that followed Luca’s threat was absolute, a heavy, suffocating blanket that pressed down on every guest in the ballroom.I could feel the brothers' anger radiating off them in waves—a physical heat that clashed with the chilled air of the palace. I clung to Luca’s arm, my knuckles white, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird.The cream silk of my gown felt suddenly too thin, leaving me exposed to the predatory gaze of Silas and the judging eyes of the court.All eyes shifted toward the throne. The Alpha King, a man of immense presence and ancient power, remained still, his golden eyes scanning the tension in the room.He looked at Silas, then at the Moretti brothers, and finally, his gaze landed on me. There was no judgment in his eyes, only a profound, knowing sadness.The Alpha King spoke, his voice not loud, but carrying a resonance that vibrated in the very marrow of my bones."Silas," the King began, his tone measured. "You speak of tra

Chapter: Chapter 14: Their LunaAmelia’s P.O.VThe healing process had been slow, but for the first time in what felt like a lifetime, the air in my lungs didn't feel heavy with grief. The brothers had been relentless in their devotion, their love a physical shield that guarded me from the lingering echoes of Darren’s cruelty.I was no longer the broken thing I had been; I was their Luna, cherished and adored. However, the sanctuary of the estate was about to be breached by the politics of a world I barely understood.The summons had come from the Alpha King himself. A grand gala, a gathering of the most powerful packs in the region, and it was mandatory for the Moretti brothers to attend. More importantly, they refused to leave me behind."You are the heart of this family, Amelia," Luca had told me, his voice a low, possessive rumble as he kissed my temple. "The world needs to see who you are. They need to see that you belong to us."The preparation for the evening had been an event in itself. They had spared no ex
