ROSENTINE

The sound of waves and the scent of salt water filled my senses the moment we arrived at the beach. A small gasp escaped my lips, my eyes almost shining with excitement. As embarrassing as it sounded, this was my first time seeing a sea in person.

Growing up, I never really had the luxury or the right to come to a place like this. My days and nights were spent studying and running myself ragged, doing whatever I could to win back my pack’s forgiveness for a mistake I was never really

  • Surrogate for My Sister's Mate   52: Match that Set Everything Off

    ROSENTINE“Rosalia? Why are you here?” Alpha Bastian asked, and my heart skipped a beat before speeding up. I was still preparing myself to face her, rehearsing what I’d say, how I’d act, but none of my mental preparations could soften the actual moment she appeared.Just seeing her smile as she approached us was already enough to make my guilt come back with full force.“Well, you didn’t join me for breakfast today, so I got a bit worried,” Rosalia replied, her gaze flicking to me. My fingers twitched, betraying my nerves, and I could only hope my face didn’t look as guilty as I felt. “Good morning, Tin.”“Good morning, Rosie.” My voice came out small, and when she hugged me, something inside me twisted. For a moment, I wondered if I’d made the right choice. But even as regret threatened, I remembered what I’d just learned about her lover, and that thought steadied me.When I pulled away, Rosalia turned to Alpha Bastian, smiling brightly.“Anyway, I wanted to talk to you. Should we g

  • Surrogate for My Sister's Mate   51: Sense of Unease

    BASTIANConcentration was supposed to be my strong suit. I’d always prided myself on shutting everything out when there was work to do, focusing until the task was finished.But not today. Not with Rosentine sitting across from me, lost in her book. Not when every time I glanced up from my paperwork, I caught myself looking at her again. It was like gravity, silent and impossible to resist; if I managed to drag my eyes away, all it did was set the clock ticking until I found some excuse to look again.I’d tried so hard to keep my feelings for her locked away. Tried to convince myself none of it mattered, that I could keep things professional, that I could be rational. But the moment Rosalia stood in front of the pack and announced she wanted to be my Luna, the image that flashed through my mind wasn’t our future.It was Rosentine.I couldn’t forget the way Rosentine looked at me in that moment. Not shock, not jealousy, but something rawer, more vulnerable. I saw it, clear as day. She

  • Surrogate for My Sister's Mate   50: Take a Risk

    ROSENTINEMy breath hitched, caught somewhere between my lungs and the truth I didn’t want to face. His heartbeat was right there under my palm, so real I almost wanted to pretend it was just my imagination, but it wasn’t.It thundered against my hand like it was desperate to break out, like it needed me to understand, to believe him. And I did.That was the problem.I did believe him, and that was exactly why this couldn’t happen.My fingers trembled against his chest before I slowly pulled my hand away, the loss of contact feeling colder than I expected. His expression faltered instantly, like he already knew what I was about to say.“Don’t,” I whispered, my words smaller, but I forced them out anyway. “Don’t do this to me, please.”“Why?” he repeated, his brows drawing together. “Rosentine, I’m choosing you. I’m taking a risk, so why can’t you?”“You’re taking a risk? This risk will destroy everything else!” My voice broke, even though I tried to keep it steady. I stepped back, nee

  • Surrogate for My Sister's Mate   49: Tangled Beyond Repair

    ROSENTINEThe sound of my heart was pounding in my ears, drowning out every other sound as I watched Alpha Bastian look around my room. I stood awkwardly by the door, fingers curled against the handle, praying he wouldn’t ask about the paper bag sitting so conspicuously on the floor.“I’m really fine, I was just startled,” I said, clutching my robe tighter around me, hoping I didn’t look as frazzled as I felt. When he finally turned to face me, I almost flinched under the weight of his stare, but I forced myself to stay still.If he saw how nervous I was, he’d know something was up.“Startled by what?” he pressed, his eyes narrowing as he studied me.“The bat—I mean, there was a bat that hit my window all of a sudden. It freaked me out.” I tried to keep my voice even, but it was hard to stay calm when sweat was prickling under my collar, and my hands wouldn’t stop twitching.Why today, of all days, did he have to show up? He wasn’t even supposed to visit.Before I could brace myself,

  • Surrogate for My Sister's Mate   48: Sex Toy

    ROSENTINEI blinked, caught off guard by how friendly he was, especially for someone in his position. Just then, I remembered where I had seen him before; he was the guy who defeated Ezekiel in the jousting tournament in the capital two years ago.I remembered how Ezekiel threw a tantrum after that, all because he couldn’t accept that a warrior had beaten him. The memory of his face twisted up in that ridiculous pout made me laugh, which totally startled Joseph, who was still standing there, hand outstretched toward me.“Hi, Sir Joseph. I’m Rosentine,” I said, finally reaching for his hand and shaking it, “Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not laughing at you, I just remembered something funny.”He blinked at me, like he was trying to piece it all together, and then, “What is it? Share it with me.”For a moment, we were just… standing there, facing each other, our hands falling back to our sides, and it felt weirdly natural, like we’d done this a hundred times.I didn’t know why it felt

  • Surrogate for My Sister's Mate   47: Mess of Emotions

    ROSENTINEI let out a quiet sigh, the kind that slipped out before I could even catch it, right after finishing my prenatal check-up with Mrs. Jane.The past two days had been a whirlwind, honestly; so much had happened in what felt like a blink, everything falling into chaos, one event after another.When Melissa confessed, Owen hadn’t hesitated with his punishment. He said she was no longer fit to serve the pack and that she’d be kicked out. Simple as that.But then, out of nowhere, Rosalia got wind of the whole investigation. Of course she did. And just as naturally, she stepped in to defend her maids, insisting that since Melissa worked directly under her, she’d handle the punishment herself.I wasn’t actually present for any of that since I’d already retreated to my room, but Owen made sure to tell me everything. After all, I got dizzy from everything that had happened since the night before, all the emotions I felt were swirling so hard I could barely keep my feet under me.It w
