Chapter 19

ISABELLA

The warm water that was pouring from the shower as I washed myself vigorously helped wash away some of the embarrassment that remained from this morning incident, although my face still turned red at the memory of Kyle bursting in and scaring me.

I'd spent so many years having my privacy violated, and treated like I didn't have any right, that I should have been used to it, but somehow this felt different than usual.

Not different but actually worse then before, because for a brief moment I'd actually felt safe and valued as someone who might be important.

After drying off, I stared at my reflection in the huge bathroom mirror. The woman looking back at me seemed like a stranger, to me.

Gone was the sickly pale woman with dull hair and bruised face and broken wrist. The woman who was staring back at me had a lot of changes, her hair was shiny and well-conditioned from the expensive products in Damon's shower, her skin looked healthier than it had in years, and the

  • Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO   Chapter 30

    Chapter 30ISABELLA He was looking at me seeking for clarification on what his grandmother had promised him.I nodded my head, a smile on my face."If you're good and do what Nana says," I promised, brushing his messy hair out of his eyes."Okay!" he said, suddenly wide awake, like he hasn't been sleeping second earlier and was bouncing with energy. "I'll be the goodest boy ever!"Elena laughed, carrying him despite his half feeble protests that he was too big to be carried and needed to not be babied anymore that it was embarrassing. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up quickly so you can come back to your mama."After they left, I found myself alone with Damon for the first time since the attack. I took a deep breath and exhaled trying to pace my breathing, my heart beat a little erratic as I felt his eyes on me. The silence wasn't uncomfortable, exactly, but there was some kind of weight on it that made me suddenly aware of how intimate our position was—both of us in bed, him stil

  • Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO   Chapter 29

    Chapter 29ISABELLA I woke slowly, feeling my consciousness come to me in slow motion. The first thing I became aware of was that there was warmth all over me.There seemed to be a cocoon of it surrounding me, making me feel safer and more content than I had in years. I almost didn't feel like pulling away from it and nothing in this word felt important enough to take me away from this heat that I had come to crave. The second thing was a low, rumbling sound that seemed to vibrate through my entire body, it was a deep purring that seemed to be coming from a large cat which made my body feel lighter and more at ease.Without thinking, I snuggled closer to the source where the warmth seemed to be coming from, pressing my face against what felt like a solid wall of muscle covered in soft cotton. The rumbling intensified, and I felt myself melting into the sensation, every tension in my body dissolving into thin air like magic.Then I moved wrong, and pain shot through my shoulder like

    Chapter 28DAMONMy phone buzzed insistently in my hand and I stepped back into the hallway, to avoid waking Isabella and Lucas, and took the call."Report," I said tensed up, ready for more disaster to unfold."Alpha, it's Kyle. We've got three teams that are currently tracking the scent of the rogue wolf, but it goes cold at the eastern property line. This only shows one thing. It was professional work—whoever sent this thing knew how to cover tracks.""Any idea of how it got past our perimeter security and enter my private lands?""That's the concerning part," Kyle said, worried about the same thing as well."All our sensors show normal readings. No breaches, no alerts. It's like the wolf just appeared out of thin air. If not for the claw marks on Isabella, I wouldn't have believed a wolf was in our territory."Which meant either our security had been compromised from the inside by a spy who helped our enemies or we were dealing with someone with supernatural abilities that were

  • Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO   Chapter 27

    Chapter 27DAMONThe leather couch in my office felt like heaven the moment I collapsed face-down onto it, every bit of my body was aching from over exertion and exhaustion.The meeting with the Japanese investors had dragged on for three hours longer than was scheduled and it was filled with a lot of strenuous and nerve wracking negotiations about shipping routes that they wanted to use from us and distribution networks channels that could have been resolved in half the time if everyone involved hadn't been so determined to posture and waste my afternoon.Thorne, my head of security, was lying down in the chair across from me, looking equally drained as well. There wasn't any fight left in him. We'd been working hard to deal with the increased levels of territorial disputes that were happening underneath the human eyes, not just that, but also business acquisitions, and pack politics for twelve straight hours, and I was looking forward to nothing more than going home to Isabella and

    Chapter 26ISABELLAMy heart broke at the guilt in his voice. He was punishing himself, thinking that he was responsible for me and I didn't like that one bit. I had to do something."Lucas, sweetheart, come here," I said, patting the bed beside me with my good arm.He climbed up carefully, his little face was filled with remorse. "If I hadn't run away to get the apple, the wolf wouldn't have found us. And I should have protected you instead of letting you get hurt.""Lucas, look at me," I said firmly, cupping his face gently with my good hand so he could meet my eyes. "This is not your fault. Not even a little bit. Do you understand?""But—""No buts," I interrupted him shaking my head. He shouldn't think that he needed to be my knight. I was the one who wanted to save him and I'll do it over and over again. "You did something incredibly brave today, and I want you to know that I am proud of you. When you saw that wolf threatening me, you didn't run away. You stood up to it. You t

  • Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO   Chapter 25

    Chapter 25ISABELLAThe wolf's eyes sent ice through my veins, but before I could even process what was happening next or figure out how to get myself and Lucas out of this mess, Lucas was suddenly in front of me. My heart stopped as I watched this tiny five-year-old boy spread his arms wide, creating a wall like barrier between the wolf and me."No!" Lucas shouted, his voice stronger and filled with command that made him look older than he actually was."Don't hurt my mama!""Lucas, no!" I gasped, trying to grab him and pull him back behind me despite the throbbing pain in my shoulder, there was no way he was going to stand to it. "Get away from it!"But he stood his ground, refusing to let me pull him away. Was he this strong or was I getting weaker because I was losing blood.I was astonished by this brave little boy who barely came up to my waist, facing down a creature that could kill us both without breaking a sweat. There was something almost supernatural in a way about his
