I go out to find him talking to the cop on duty. He's formally dressed today, but he looks like he ruffled a little, almost like he came here in a rush. I don't like that I notice.

Lucien notices my presence and crosses the space between us fast until he's only a few feet away from me.

"Are you okay?" he asks, his voice a little frayed, stripped of the cold edges I'm used to hearing from him. Up close, his cedarwood scent reaches me, heavier than usual. It smells like adren

  • I Became The Surrogate For A Divorced Alpha and Luna   Chapter 51: Out of the den.

    I find him outside my door the next morning, and for a second I think about going back in and locking it.Caskey has his hands behind his back and the look of someone a little guilty. He straightens when he sees me.“Hey, Evelyn. Can I talk to you? Just a minute.”I hesitate a moment, then exhale. “Okay.”“I’m sorry about yesterday.” He rubs the back of his neck, and I realize it’s something he does when he’s nervous. “I was too forward. You’re living in somebody else’s house, you’re pregnant, and I came at you that bluntly, like we were in a bar. I felt awful about it all night. I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable.”He means it. It’s all over his face, and I find I can’t be annoyed.“You didn’t,” I say, and then, because it’s half true and he deserves the full truth, I add, “But I’d rather we didn’t talk about that kind of thing again.”He nods at once. “Understood. It won’t come up again.”“Thank you.”“Can I make it up to you? Maw is making apple pie, and I’ve been told you’re n

  • I Became The Surrogate For A Divorced Alpha and Luna   Chapter 50: The boy who likes her.

    Lucien hasn’t called since that night. I check my phone every few minutes, and each time, the screen shows the same three things: the time, the weather, and nothing from him.Just four days ago, he was whispering down the line that I was his, in a voice that made my whole body listen. Today there’s only silence.I tell myself it’s probably just his rut. I tell myself he’s too weak to pick up the phone.But it doesn’t help.I miss him already, and I hate that I do.By the fourth afternoon, I can’t stand my bedroom walls anymore. I go downstairs with one hand on the banister and the other cradling my stomach, and sense a new presence.The house feels smaller than before, the way a house does when someone new is in it. My heart jumps thinking it’s him.So I hurry the rest of the way down and find them at the threshold.Mrs Greene opens her arms and a young man walks into them and lifts her clean off the floor. He is tall and broad, with hair the colour of wheat and his eyes are so blue t

  • I Became The Surrogate For A Divorced Alpha and Luna   Chapter 49: What can I say?

    She turns up at nine the next morning, unannounced, in sunglasses and a trench coat, looking like a woman about to deliver an accusation and open an investigation.Mrs Greene lets her in without a word and looks between us suspiciously. Viv waits until she takes the hint and retreats to the kitchen. I stand with my shoulders curled, looking every bit the guilty woman I am. Vivienne pulls off her sunglasses and points at the bed."Sit.""Viv, I can explain.""I certainly hope so, because I woke up to a picture of your vagina.""Please keep your voice down." I cover my face with my hands, embarrassed. "It was an accident. I was in a hurry, and I... didn't look.""I know it was an accident, Evelyn. We're close, but not 'I need to see your vagina' close." She sits across from me, crosses her legs, and examines me with the narrowed eyes of someone who likes puzzles. "What I want to know is who it was meant for."My stomach flips. "Nobody.""Nobody." She sniffs the air. Her nose wrinkles, t

  • I Became The Surrogate For A Divorced Alpha and Luna   Chapter 48: Show me.

    My phone buzzes against me ten minutes after he hangs up, and I'm so wound up that I almost drop it on my face when I pick it up.It's from the same number I forgot to save. Only one line is written.Lucien: Send me a picture. Show me what you're wearing.My heart skips, then gallops. My thumbs hover over the screen while a very sensible voice in my head tells me every reason why this is a bad idea.I choose to ignore it and text back.Me: Do you really want one?Lucien: I'm begging.A laugh slips out of me, a little choked and breathless. I'm twenty-six, pregnant, and lying in his shirt under my blanket, and I'm about to sext the Alpha I swore I hated.I've never done this before. Well, not since my teenage years. With Thomas, I could never bring myself to.It always felt like handing him a leash to whip me with. He never made me feel good about my body, so why would he have appreciated any of my pictures?With Lucien, it feels nothing like that. This feels like someone asking to be

  • I Became The Surrogate For A Divorced Alpha and Luna   Chapter 47: What She Isn't Saying.

    Her name lights up my phone at half past ten the next morning, and I stare at it so long it nearly goes to voicemail.Celeste.Speaking of bad timing.My thumb is slick with sweat when I finally pick up. "Hello?""There she is!" Her voice spills out of the speaker like sunlight, warm and breathless, with hotel noise somewhere behind it. "I've wanted to call you since yesterday, and then I thought, no, let her rest, the poor thing must be exhausted, carrying a whole person. How are you, Evie? How's my little one?"I feel sick."We're okay," I answer weakly. "We're good.""Good. I missed you." She says it so simply that it stings. "I mean it, Evelyn. This trip was all meetings and dinners with people I don't really like, and I kept thinking how much nicer it would be if you were sitting beside me instead. Just the two of us talking, like we used to."I make a small pained sound that I quickly mask as a laugh. She laughs too."Okay, so I'm flying back soon. In a few days at most. I've bo
