HIS SURROGATE, HER ALPHA KING Rosie
"Which ward?" I asked.Lena checked her phone. "Pediatric overflow. Your usual floor. The person asked for you by full name and said they were your cousin."I don't have a cousin.I know.I was already moving down the hallway toward the front of the house. Cael fell into step beside me without being asked, which I had stopped being surprised by.I need to call Rosie, I said. She works that floor on Tuesdays.Ella. His voice had that particular weight it got when he was about to say something I wasn't going to like. You're not going to the hospital.Rosie is there. She doesn't know any of this is happening and someone just walked onto her floor looking for me. I already had my phone out. I'm calling her first and then we're figuring out how to get her out of there without causing a scene.He didn't argue. That was one thing I was learning about him, he picked his battles with the same deliberateness he applied to everything else. When he pushed back it meant something. When he didn't,
HIS SURROGATE, HER ALPHA KING What the letter said
Read me the rest of it, Cael said.Not a demand. The way you'd say it to someone standing at the edge of something high, steady and quiet, come back from there.I looked down at the page.My mother's handwriting covered both sides in her tight, careful script, the kind she used when she was writing something she needed to get exactly right. She had written letters the same way she made decisions, slowly, deliberately, with every word placed like it had been considered twice before it was set down.I read out loud.She had met my father when she was twenty-three. His name was Daniel Crane, a name I had grown up with attached to the story that he had simply left, packed a bag one morning when I was four and Theo was one and never come back. That was the story she had told us. That was the story I had believed for twenty-three years.The truth was that he had been taken in the night. Three men at the door of their rental house in Bend, Oregon. He had told her to take us to her sister's,
HIS SURROGATE, HER ALPHA KING Not Aldric's people
"Who were they?" I asked.Cael was already pulling into traffic, one hand on the wheel, the other holding the phone back to his ear. "Lena. Status."I couldn't hear her side but I watched his face and read it the way I'd learned to read monitors in the ICU, not the numbers themselves but the direction they were moving."Hold them," he said. "Don't release them until I'm there." He ended the call and looked at me once, fast. "Two men. They came through the east tree line on foot, no vehicle on the road. Lena's team stopped them before they reached the house."Are they Aldric's?They say they're not.What do they say they are?He was quiet for exactly two seconds, which with Cael meant something was being weighed carefully before it was handed over.They say they were sent to find you specifically. Not to threaten. To warn. He paused. They said the word bloodline.The inside of the car was very quiet after that.I turned to look out the window at the city moving past and tried to find a
HIS SURROGATE, HER ALPHA KING Dr. Cross
"How did you get this number?" I asked."The same way they got yours," Dr. Cross said. "I have access to patient contact files. I am so sorry. I know that's not enough but I need you to know I am."Cael had already glanced at me once. His eyes were on the road but his attention had shifted entirely to my side of the car, the way a person leans toward a sound without moving their body."Where do you want to meet?" I asked.Somewhere public. Please. Her voice dropped lower. I think I'm being watched. I've felt it for three days. Since I realized what they were planning to do with the information and tried to pull back.""You tried to pull back," I repeated.A pause. I made a mistake. A very serious one. And I need to tell you what I know before I lose the nerve or before they realize I've gone off script.I looked at Cael. He had his eyes on the road and his jaw set in that way that meant he was thinking fast.I put the phone slightly away from my mouth. "She wants to meet. Alone.""No,
HIS SURROGATE, HER ALPHA KING Marcus
"It was Marcus," Lena said. "The legal team."The name landed flat in the hallway. I watched Cael's face and saw nothing move on the surface of it, but his hand, resting on the kitchen counter, closed into a slow fist and then opened again."How long?" he asked."At least six months based on the communication pattern. Possibly longer." Lena held out her phone. On the screen was a thread of encrypted messages, the kind that required a specific app to even open, but Lena's team had pulled them anyway. "He wasn't sending detailed reports. Timestamps, locations, key names. Enough for Aldric to stay one step ahead without raising flags inside the pack.""Did he know about the clinic?" Cael asked."He was copied on the legal notification the morning it came through. He knew before you made the call to Ella."I stood in the hallway with my keys in my hand and absorbed that.Marcus had known about me before Cael had spoken a single word to me. He had known I existed, where I lived, what had h
HIS SURROGATE, HER ALPHA KING Positive
I took the test at six in the morning, alone in the bathroom, sitting on the edge of the tub with the tile cold through my socks.Three minutes. That was all it took.I had done this once before, two years ago when my cycle was late and I was still with Nate and terrified in a completely different way. That test had been negative and I had felt relief first and then, quietly, something I never admitted to anyone, a small grief I buried under the relief and never went back to examine.This time I sat with the test face down in my hands and counted my own breaths and thought about my mother, who used to say that the things worth having always cost you something first.I turned it over.Two lines. Dark, immediate, no squinting required.I sat there for a long moment. The bathroom was quiet. The house around me was quiet. Outside the window the sky was the flat pale color of very early morning, and somewhere below on the grounds one of Lena's people was walking the perimeter in slow stead
