Chapter 50

DAMON

"Marcus Blackwood stood slowly, from his chair, his eyes on me as he spoke. "Alpha Rodriguez," he said with mock formality, "thank you for finally joining us. We've been discussing some very serious allegations that have come to our attention."

"Have we now?" I replied, taking my time to look around the room and let them all feel the weight of my aura first and foremost. I was the Prime Enigma in this territory, more powerful than any Alpha present, and it was time they all remembered that fact.

Amy suddenly rose from her seat, pointing an accusing finger at me, with all the dramatics of a hysterical heartbroken woman.

"Tell them, Damon," she said, her voice loud enough to be heard by everyone and her breaking it on purpose to get more sympathizers on her side. "Tell everyone what you did to me when I came to visit you yesterday. Tell them how you treated your own fiancée like she was unworthy of being in your house, if you dare."

Several of the Alphas exchanged gla

  • Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO   Chapter 234

    Chapter 234 ISABELLA"Always," he promised.He pulled away reluctantly, already shifting into Alpha mode—making calls, coordinating plans, preparing for a rescue mission that might very well be a trap. Darius left shortly after, heading to his own family house to deal with whatever crisis was brewing there.And suddenly, I was alone in Damon's office, feeling the weight of everything that had happened in the past few days pressing down on me.My body ached. The lingering effects of the wolfsbane poisoning were still making themselves known—persistent headache, weakness in my limbs, exhaustion that went deeper than just lack of sleep. Elena had said recovery would take time, but I'd been pushing through, trying to be strong for the pack, for the boys, for Damon.Maybe I should rest. Actually rest, instead of just pretending I was fine.I made my way to our bedroom, intending to lie down for a few hours. But as I passed through the main sitting room, one of the household staff appeare

    Chapter 233ISABELLA "Good choice," the voice said. "Wait for instructions. Come alone. And Alpha Rodriguez? Don't try to be clever. Don't try to track this call or send scouts ahead. We have eyes everywhere. If we sense any pack activity near the location we specify, if you bring backup despite our warnings—your friend dies. Slowly. Painfully. While you listen to her scream. Understood?""Understood," Damon said through gritted teeth.The call ended abruptly, leaving us all staring at the now-black screen in Damon's office."It's a trap," Darius said immediately. "Damon, you can't seriously be considering going alone to meet with the rogues who tried to kill you two nights ago.""She's right there," Damon said, his voice tight with anger. "Beaten, terrified, held hostage because of her association with me. How can I not go?""Because she might have been part of the attack," I said quietly. Everyone turned to look at me, and I forced myself to continue despite the discomfort of accus

    Chapter 232ISABELLAI watched Kyle's face as he ended his phone call, and something in his expression made my stomach clench with anxiety. He looked pale, scared in a way I'd rarely seen him. His hands were shaking slightly as he pocketed his phone, and when he spoke, his voice was carefully controlled—too controlled, like he was working very hard to keep emotion out of it."I need to head home," he said, the words coming out flat. "Family matter. Evelyn needs me for something.""What kind of something?" Darius asked immediately, his protective instincts clearly triggered by Kyle's demeanor. "Kyle, what did she say?""Just that she needs me back at the family house," Kyle said, still not meeting anyone's eyes. "Some task she wants me to handle personally. Nothing urgent, just—she wants me there."He was lying. I could tell even without supernatural senses or a mate bond. The tension in his shoulders, the way he was carefully not looking at Darius, the slight tremor in his voice—every

  • Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO   Chapter 231

    Chapter 231JANICEThree simultaneous attacks:1. Kyle's death, orchestrated through Evelyn's revenge, resulting in Darius being incapacitated by bond-sickness.2. Isabella's poisoning, delayed-action and untraceable, resulting in her slow painful death while everyone scrambled to figure out what was wrong.3. The ransom trap, luring Damon away from his support structure and into a situation where I could finally make him understand that I was his best option, his only option, the person who'd been there all along.It was complicated. Risky. Required precise timing and multiple things going right simultaneously. But it was also brilliant if it worked. And unlike last night's attack, this plan didn't rely on direct confrontation. Didn't require overwhelming force. Just manipulation, patience, and the willingness to destroy anyone who stood between me and what I deserved.My phone buzzed with an incoming call. Unknown number. I answered cautiously. "Yes?""The note has been delivered,"

  • Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO   Chapter 230

    Chapter 230JANICEWith Darius out of commission, with his protective capabilities neutralized by bond-sickness—my next attempt at eliminating Isabella would face significantly less opposition.I hit send on the email, watching it disappear into the encrypted network I'd been using. Evelyn would receive it within the hour. And knowing her, she'd react immediately, impulsively, exactly as I needed her to.But I couldn't rely solely on Evelyn's revenge to handle things. I needed backup plans, multiple angles of attack. Needed to ensure that even if one approach failed, others would succeed.Which brought me to Plan C.The household staff at the Rodriguez estate were generally loyal, well-paid, treated with respect by their Alpha. But everyone had pressure points. Everyone had vulnerabilities that could be exploited.I'd been cultivating relationships with several of the newer maids over the past few months. Women who hadn't yet developed the fierce pack loyalty of longtime employees. Wo

  • Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO   Chapter 229

    Chapter 229JANICEI stared at the cheap motel room ceiling, rage burning through my veins so hot I was surprised the smoke detector wasn't going off. Everything had gone wrong. Every carefully laid plan, every meticulously coordinated detail—all of it had failed because of one variable I hadn't adequately accounted for.Darius fucking Blackwood.I'd known he'd be present at the ceremony. Had factored in that he'd help with defensive efforts once the rogues attacked. But I hadn't anticipated how formidable he'd be, how protective, how absolutely devastating when it came to defending people he cared about. He'd positioned himself over Damon and Isabella's unconscious bodies like a goddamn guardian angel, tearing through any rogue who came close with a brutality that had forced my hired attackers to retreat or die.Seven rogues dead. Five more fatally wounded. Eleven retreating in disarray because they couldn't get past one Prime Enigma who'd apparently decided that protecting his best
