“I can’t tell you,” I say, unable to hold in my tears. Maggie nodded. “Yes, you can. I may not understand, but I can try.” “No, I really can’t, Mags.” “How are things going?” Ansel asked from the doorway, making us jump. Maggie dropped my hands, and I tried to wipe my face without him seeing, but it didn’t work. He enters my room and grabs my shoulders. “Hey, what’s the matter?” “I miss my father is all.” It may not have been the reason for my current tears, but it also wasn’t a lie. After our last visit, my father banned me from coming back. It hurt, especially because I know deep in my heart that something is wrong. Ansel kisses my forehead to comfort me. I smile softly at him. “Sorry for worrying you.” “Don’t apologize. I understand how much he means to you.” He rubs my cheek with his thumb. “How about we go for that walk now?” “You’re not too busy?” He shakes his head. “I can make time. besides I realize you’ve been here for a while
Alpha's Surrogate Wife Chapter 41 - Election Strategy
ANSEL POV Ansel and Karin enter the manor and find Henry and Maggie waiting for them. “Where’s the fire?” Ansel asked sarcastically, looking around. Seeing Karin’s disheveled clothes, Henry rubbed the back of his neck. “Sorry boss. If it wasn’t so important, I would have waited until you were no longer occupied.” “Mhm,” Ansel replied, enjoying the red forming on Karin’s cheeks. “Don’t worry about it. We’re here now. What’s so urgent?” Henry lowered his voice. “I was on my way to the manor and happened to have overheard something that I’m sure I wasn’t supposed to.” “From whom?” &
Alpha's Surrogate Wife Chapter 42 - Present
KARIN POV “It’s all frivolous in my opinion. There are so many other things I could do with my time…” I say, mocking Ansel. “Like he’s that damn busy. I have stuff going on too. Tomorrow I have two books on the history of fire that I promised myself I would finish.” Maggie smirked as we worked together to fold Ansel’s clothes for his travels. “Of course, shame on him for not seeing the dangers of unfinished books over battling bearmen.” “You know sarcasm is said to be the lowest form of wit,” I say, turning up my nose.She nods. “I’ll make sure to remember that the next time we converse. Instead, how about we discuss the pyromania that swept the land in the 1950s?”“What really?! I haven’t gotten to that pa
Alpha's Surrogate Wife #Chapter 43 - Negotiation
ANSEL POVTwo Weeks Later “I can’t believe you managed to not only get rid of our bearmen problem but also protect our workers as they rebuilt the barrier to keep the witches out,” King Alfred said as he shook Ansel’s hand.Ansel nodded. “I’m glad that we could be of service. My only gripe is that we could not get things done quicker for you.”King Alfred scoffed. “Please, it was the fault of my own men. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that they were in your way. I saw how effortlessly your men pull those bearmen apart the moment I made my men retreat. I don’t know what type of training you do in Blue Moon, but perhaps we should follow suit.” He nudged his head at Henry. “I’ve been trying to figure out how to ask for the past two weeks. Are you sure that is one man?” Ansel stifled his laugh. “Yes, I’m positive Henry is one person, though believe me, you’re not the first to ask.”“I’m not surprised.” He peered at Henry, who was sharpening his sword. “I don’t think he needs

KARIN POV“What’s taking them so long?” I ask rhetorically as I pace around my room. I stop as fear courses through me. “Oh my goodness, what if they were in an accident? What if their cars were hit by a rogue airplane and while they were trying to escape the rubble, they started to spontaneously combust and—”“Lady Karin, please!” Maggie shouted, silencing me. She grabbed my shoulders to keep me from starting my pace again. “They’re fine. I spoke to Henry last night. Everything is wrapped up and he said they would make their return soon. Apparently, the delay had to do with Moon Shadow’s gammas incompetence. After the first week, Sir Ansel asked the king if they could finish things on their own.”I roll my eyes. “He has always been a showoff,” I say, though, as usual, Ansel had left me in awe. No matter where he went, he always seemed to dominate the room as if it was made for him. A blush finds my cheeks.He dominates everything he does.“Did Henry say anything else?” I ask, forcing
Alpha's Surrogate Wife #Chapter 45 - A Pregnancy Test
The Next Day Maggie’s eyes bore into me as I swirled my oatmeal for the hundredth time. “Can you please stop staring at me? I told you I’ll eat.” Picking up a glob of the sugary meal, I look at the mass that seems to bubble on the utensil. My stomach turns, and I toss the spoon back into the bowl and dart to the bathroom. I try to vomit, but nothing comes out and eventually I plop onto the floor. “That was so dramatic,” I muttered. I wick sweat from my face as my breathing returns to normal.“Lady Karin, may I come in?” Maggie asked. She knocked on the door a few more times. “Lady Karin?”“Come in, Maggie.”She opens the bathroom door and frowns at me. “Oh dear, how long has this been going on?”“The past few days. I know I should have said something, but I didn’t want you to worry.”“Is this why you haven’t tried reaching out to Sir Ansel?”I grimace. “You’ve always been able to read me. With everything he has going on, the last thing he needs to worry about it that—”“You may be pr
Alpha's Surrogate Wife #Chapter 46 - Dirty Talk
ANSEL POV Ansel entered the manor and dropped his bags on the ground. “I know I say it all the time, but there is nothing like being in your own bed.” He peered around at the empty corridor. Where is everyone? As if on cue, the butler and Maggie appeared. They bowed. “Apologies for not greeting you at the door, sir,” the butler said. “We were making sure that your room was heated, and everything completed per your request when you return from travel. “Not a problem. Have the cooks gone to bed?” “Yes, but I can wake them.” “No. I’ll wait until morning. Honestly, I’m so exhausted that I would probably fall headfirst into my soup.” He looked past them and furrowed his brow. “Where is Karin? Did you not tell her I would arrive within the hour?” Maggie nodded. “Yes, but she’s pretty tired. She’s in bed.” Her voice was shaky, and Ansel tilted his head. “What’s going on? Is she unwell?” She sighed. “Lady Karin hasn’t come out
Alpha's Surrogate Wife #Chapter 47 - New Doctor
KARIN POV One week later “And now we join Dan live at the town square.” “Thanks Kate. Here at the town square, the happy bustle of Blue Moon members is a stark contrast from what we’ve seen within the past few years. And why? Well, as one patron said, we can’t wait to vote. Yes, apparently voting fever has struck Blue Moon, and one person seems on everyone’s mind: The Second Prince, Sir Ansel. Many pack members eagerly reveal who they’re voting for. If these preliminary numbers have any sign of how the vote will turn out, then The Great Prince, Sir Edwin, may find himself in a bit of trouble. Back to you, Kate.” “Thanks Dan. Ross, it appears maybe you were right. This could be a landslide election.” I grin at the words of the news anchors on the television. Just like everyone thought, Ansel had the title of Alpha in the bag. His favor in Blue Moon extended throughout the land, all but making the election nothing but a formality. I eat a spoonful o
