Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in 102: "To Save a Son, To Lose a Heart"
Alaric stood abruptly, wiping the tears from his eyes with a trembling hand.“I want nothing to do with that child. Take him away from me.”“But—”He cut off the voice with a cold glare and turned sharply, his eyes burning with fury as he strode toward the pack leaders gathered around a roaring bonfire.The infant’s cry pierced through the pounding rain, echoing across the open clearing like a desperate plea.“You’ve taken my wife from me because of your blind fears,” Alaric roared, voice raw with grief and rage. “And now my son? What has he done to deserve your hatred?”Lord Rhovan held the baby aloft, the flames dangerously close—licking at the child’s half face, already marking it with a raw, angry scar.“He carries the blood of our ancestors. We cannot allow him to live.”Alaric stepped forward, eyes wild and voice trembling with emotion.“You vile, power-hungry fools! Open your eyes! That child has my gift—no ancient blood stains his veins.”His gaze locked on the infant’s fragil

Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in 100- The Silence Between Wars
The thunder of hooves echoed through the village as Cedric rode hard into the square. Villagers turned from their tasks, eyes drawn to the rider whose cloak billowed behind him like a banner in the wind.From the doorway of a modest cottage, Milicent stepped forth, breath catching as she beheld him. “My lord!”Without pause, they rushed into each other’s embrace.“My lord, you have returned,” she whispered, her voice trembling with relief.Cedric drew back slightly, eyes scanning her for harm. “Are you hurt? Did they lay hands upon you?”She shook her head, a soft smile tugging at her lips. “Nay, I am not. By some miracle, Lillian reached me before they did.”“Praise the gods,” Cedric breathed, pulling her close once more, his hold fierce with fear barely past. “The Moon Goddess has shown mercy this day—I dared not think what might’ve come to pass.”Milicent laughed gently, though his words stirred unease within her. His joy, so sincere, could cease any moment.“You said Lillian saved
Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in 99: The Breaking of Scarlet
Morning light spilled gently through the arched window of the healer’s chamber, casting golden shafts across the stone floor. It crept toward the narrow cot and brushed against Scarlet’s face. Her lashes fluttered at first, then slowly lifted, revealing eyes dazed from slumber.She blinked against the light and, with effort, rose upright. Her gaze swept the room—empty. Neither the healer nor Alpha Darius was present.But then—there was a sound. A soft clatter from the shelves, as though something had been disturbed.“Hello?” her voice called, faintly hoarse. “Is someone there?”No answer came. Only silence returned.She swung her legs over the cot and attempted to stand, but her knees buckled beneath her. She collapsed to the floor, the chill of the stone biting into her skin.Her breath caught. She felt... hollow.There was no strength within her limbs—and worse, her wolf was silent. She could not sense it. Could not call to it.Panic pricked at the edge of her thoughts.Then—footste
Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in 98: Rise of the Duskbane
Six Years AgoA crash rang through the halls of Duskbane Manor. Then another.The servants lingered at the threshold, none daring to step inside. Within, Lady Scarlet and her uncle, Lord Ronan, were once again locked in a bitter quarrel."You are useless—witless and idle," he thundered, his face mottled with rage. "If you lack the sense to be of worth, then use your body instead. Open your legs if you must!"Scarlet stood her ground, her chin lifted defiantly. "I shall not whore myself for your gain, Uncle. If you so desire a woman to serve your needs, take a wife and beget one yourself."The crack of his palm striking her cheek echoed through the chamber.She staggered back but did not fall."Ungrateful wretch!" he roared. "I have raised you since your feckless father abandoned you at my door. I have made you into something, and this is the thanks I receive? I should—"The door creaked open before he could finish.Silence fell as hurried footsteps crossed the room. A servant bowed lo
Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in 97: The Wolf’s Wrath
Silence lingered between them, their gazes locked, searching each other in a quiet intensity.Before either could speak again, a throat cleared, disrupting the charged moment.Beta Uthred stood at the door, waiting, “Alpha, the messenger has arrived.”“Bring him forth,” Darius replied, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on Scarlet, who had begun to make her exit.“I shall take my leave now, my lord Alpha,” Scarlet murmured, offering a respectful bow before stepping away.As the door closed behind her, the messenger entered, his presence announced with the soft creak of the door.Uthred’s gaze lingered on Scarlet’s retreating form. "You carry yourself as a woman of loose virtue, do you not?" he remarked coldly.She halted in her tracks, turning sharply. "What did you say?"Uthred’s voice grew more biting. "I spoke plainly. You are nothing but a harlot."A flush of anger rose to Scarlet’s cheeks, but her voice remained composed. "How dare you speak to me so?"Uthred’s lips twisted into a sneer
