Bound By Fate: Dirty Affairs With His Surrogate Stepmom

Chapter 1

Celine Coleman

As I stood in front of the restaurant, I took a deep breath, holding on firmly to my handbag, taking a deep breath. Again, I asked myself if this was a good idea, but knowing that I didn't have any option at this point, I couldn't even bring myself to think about negative things.

"Let's go for it," I mumbled and took a deep breath, walking into the restaurant afterward. The dark aura that welcomed me as soon as I walked in, told me that someone powerful was here. Although I have lived amongst werewolves at a point in my life, I couldn't still tell their scent since I wasn't one myself. The only thing I could tell was their aura, and this one felt like an Alpha's, if I'm not mistaken.

My heart skipped when I found him sitting at the far end of the restaurant. I wasn't standing close, but his aura was so dark and scary that it was consuming me already. Should I turn back from here? I asked myself, but just before I could make my decision, he raised his gaze and caught mine, and my heart sank into my stomach. He had a pair of green eyes, brown shady hair, thick eyebrows, a chiseled face, a sharp jawline, and long eyelashes. He was manly built, but there was something about him that I couldn't place. I always had my way of telling people's age, but his was vague that I couldn't read it.

Taking a deep breath, I finally walked over to him and smiled.

"Hi! You must be Mr..."

"Alpha Kayla Reed is the name. Sit!" His voice was cold and domineering, and my heart skipped for a moment. Did I make the right decision to come here in the first place? I sat in front of him, regardless.

"What's your name?" He asked me, and I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat, nervous.

"Celine... Celine Coleman," I replied to him, trying not to stutter, but it was hard not to.

"Celine... I will go straight to the point, Celine..." He uttered, then paused and reclined on the chair, I could feel his eyes boring invisible holes in my body.

"I want you to be my breeder. All I need from you is a son, and we will go our separate ways after. I will give you everything you ask for. Luxurious life? I have the means to give you all that," I froze on the seat, finally looking at him this time, my eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Bre...breeder?" That word slipped from my mouth, and my jaw dropped after. This always happened in movies, and to think it was happening to me right now. Am I a movie character? I asked myself, but quickly dismissed the thought.

"Uhm..." I paused and bit my inner bottom lip, swallowing hard again. This was the craziest shit I've ever experienced in my life, but come to think of it. I just got thrown out of my apartment last week and I've been wandering around the street like a hopeless ghost since then. I have even tried to get a job the least waitress, but the world seemed to be against me. I was still trying to figure out what I was going to do when my phone suddenly started ringing.

"Excuse me, please. I need to take this call," I excused myself and left for the restroom. If the call was not from my little brother, I would have ignored it.

"Hey, sis," His cheerful voice sounded from the other end, and I smiled.

"Hey, kiddo. What's up?" I tried to sound happy even though I was shattered deep inside me.

"Guess what? I finished high school, and will move in with you as promised earlier," He sounded so excited that he was going to move in with me.

"Hu... huh?" My jaw dropped and I felt a sting in my heart.

"Is everything alright, sis? You told me to move in with you as soon as I'm done with school, so you can send me to college. Did you change your mind?" He asked me, and I huffed.

"Are you kidding me? Why will I change my mind? No, I didn't. Let me know when you want to move in," I tried not to break down in tears as they already brimmed in my eyes.

"Is everything alright? You sound dull," He asked me.

"Of course, I'm fine. I will call you back, Jerry. I need to get back to work... Oh, boss, I'll be there now," I yelled as if I was talking to a customer.

"Alright, sis. Bye," The call finally dropped dead, and I crashed against the wall, touching my forehead as tears streamed down my cheeks. I lied to my brother that I was working in a restaurant as a waitress, he believed that I could take care of him.

If not that our parents abandoned us as if we never existed, maybe we wouldn't have spent all the years of our lives like this. I was just seven and my little brother was one when mom left us. Dad tried for years before he finally died nine years later, and we had to move in with our neighbor who was married to a werewolf from Silver Moon Pack, one of the strongest Pack of wolves at that time. That was how I got to know a little about werewolves. I mean, I spent three years in the Pack, so it was almost impossible not to know about them. I moved out of the Pack after I turned eighteen, in a bid to find greener pastures so I could take care of myself and my little brother, but life has rather been hard on me. Living from hand to mouth for years, working as a delivery girl for years to put food on my table, paying my brother's school fees, and paying my rent. At least I was still trying my best to survive, not until I lost my job five months ago, and life has become tough for me. Failed to pay my rent, and I was thrown out of the house last week. Frustrated, I went to a club two days ago where I met this man asking me to be his breeder now. I was too drunk to talk with him that day, so he asked us to meet here today, and here we are now.

With all these, I guess I had to accept my fate, so I walked back into the restaurant where I met Alpha Kayla still waiting for me.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. It was an important call," I apologized as I sat on the chair I left there.

"So, what do you say?" He asked, ignoring my apology. As much as I wanted to say that I wasn't interested, I knew that I had to. I needed this money although this was inappropriate. I have tried to get a job but couldn't, I didn't want my brother to come here and find me living on the street.

"I have a favor to ask," I didn't know if this will make sense, but I should ask.

"First, I want you to secure an apartment for me..."

"There won't be any need for that. You are moving into my mansion if you are going to be my breeder," He cuts me off, and I bit my bottom lip sadly.

"In that case, I guess we have a done deal now. Where is your phone?" He asked me coldly, and I handed my phone to him. I watched as he typed in something on it before he returned it to me.

"That's my number. I think we should have each other's number since we will be living together soon," He uttered, putting his phone back into the pocket of his coat.

"I will send my driver to pick you up for shopping tomorrow. Also..." He paused and dipped his hand into his pocket, and bringing it out, he dropped a card on the table.

"This card is yours now. It has a lot of money, so you can spend as much as you want to," My mouth dropped open as I stared at the black card. Did my life just change for good?
