  • Surrogate for the Alpha    Chapter 98: Ticking clock

    The second day had not even started when the guards around the house were running helter-skelter. Falling parts of the mansion scattered everywhere, chunks of stone and wood crashing down as the guards scrambled desperately to save their heads. Vince was not left out. Lying on his bed, the ceiling above him suddenly came crashing down with terrifying speed. Fortunately for him, his senses were sharp. He rolled out of bed just in time, the heavy debris slamming down where he had been lying seconds before. “Damn it, Corey you asshole!” he roared in frustration. Ever since Corey came to the mansion, it had been one disaster after another. Just the previous night, his bathroom had exploded, and he had nearly lost his huge engine in the blast. Storming out of his room, Vince rushed downstairs Only to be met with complete chaos.“And what in the name of the Goddess is happening here?!” Vince roared. The guards froze immediately, all of them looking at him then at the ceiling and w

  • Surrogate for the Alpha    Chapter 97: Plots In Motion

    After what felt like decades, Crane finally opened the door and stepped out. But what stunned everyone was that he walked out casually in his wolf form, as though it were the most natural thing in the world. The great white wolf moved with quiet authority, his paws making almost no sound against the floor. The air around him seemed heavier, charged with the silent pressure of an Alpha who had made up his mind. He stopped in front of Alex. Stay with her, Crane’s voice echoed in Alex’s mind, deep and commanding. Alert me if she moves even a muscle. I need to make a few preparations for the Assembly of Kings. Alex nodded immediately, placing a hand over his chest in acknowledgment before turning and heading straight into Lara’s room without another word. Yousef and Peter instinctively moved to follow. Crane’s massive head turned slightly. And where do you think you’re going, young pup? he said, his voice firm inside Yousef’s mind. We’ve got work to do. Turn around. Now. Yous

  • Surrogate for the Alpha    Chapter 96: What Must Be Left Behind

    Mother Seraphine stepped into the grand hall as though she owned every stone beneath her feet. The doors had barely settled behind her before her presence filled the entire space heavy, ancient, suffocating. The faint scent of herbs and old parchment clung to her robes, mixing uneasily with the familiar warmth of the pack house.Crane descended the staircase slowly, his expression calm but guarded. Behind him followed Yousef and Peter, both silent, both tense. Alex had remained upstairs with Lara, at Crane’s direct command.By the time Crane reached the last step, Mother Seraphine had already turned to face him, her sharp eyes scanning him as though searching for cracks beneath his skin.“Mother Seraphine,” Crane greeted respectfully, lowering his head slightly. “I was not expecting you. I would have arranged a proper welcome.”“Save it,” she said, lifting a hand sharply to silence him.Her voice cut clean through the hall, leaving no room for ceremony or politeness.“I did not co

    James was barely at the entrance of the estate when his phone rang. His assistant’s name flashed across the screen. He exhaled sharply and answered. “Sir, just a reminder, you have an important meeting in thirty minutes. The board is already” James rolled his eyes, tightening his grip on the steering wheel. His jaw hardened. “Postpone it,” he said coldly, and ended the call before another word could be spoken. His foot pressed harder on the accelerator. Reaching home, he parked and entered the mansion quietly. No greetings. No footsteps rushing to meet him. The house felt… still. Too still. He climbed the stairs and pushed open Maya’s door first. She was fast asleep, curled up comfortably. He smiled faintly, pulling the blanket higher to cover her properly before brushing a gentle kiss over her hair. “Sleep well,” he murmured. Closing the door softly, he walked into his own room. Empty. The bed untouched. A faint crease formed between his brows. Turning

    “Aunty Jan Jan?” Maya’s voice floated down the hallway.Janis turned just as the girl peeked out from the living room. “ Your portion of breakfast big brother made is in the kitchen, on the counter , incase you feel hungry.”Janis blinked, momentarily pulled from her thoughts. " oh okay baby, thank you"Maya’s face lit up instantly. “you're welcome big sis" then she continued stuffing her mouth with snacksJanis followed more slowly. She ate a little—just enough to quiet the tight ache in her stomach—then slipped through the back door behind the kitchen, letting the fresh air wash over her.The garden was quiet.She sat on the soft outdoor couch beneath the trees, fingers curling into the fabric of her robe as her mind drifted back to the dream. Corey’s face. His smile. The way he turned away.Her chest tightened.Then James’ face surfaced knd, familiar… distant.The realization hit her harder than she expected.

    She kept running.Mocking voices echoed behind her, chasing her relentlessly, growing louder with every step she took.Suddenly, she froze.A tall, handsome figure stood before her, his presence cutting through the darkness like light breaking through storm clouds. His smile warm, familiar pushed away the ache in her chest, even if only for a second.“Corey…” she called out, hope flooding her voice.But the happiness didn’t last.Beside him, Lara suddenly appeared.She smiled slow, wicked, nothing like the gentle woman Janis knew.“Awwn… you want him?” Lara mocked softly.Her smile faded as she wrapped her arm possessively around Corey’s, pulling him closer.“Dream on,” she sneered. “This is your payback for taking James away from me.”Janis shook her head frantically.“You took my happiness,” Lara continued coldly, “now I’ll take yours.”Then Lara laughed sharp, cruel and turned away.Corey’s smile vanished.Without a word, he turned too, following Lara into the darkness, leaving Ja

    Lara looked up at Crane and noticed how his shoulders had dropped, as though the weight he carried had finally found a place to rest. She stepped closer and held him gently.“Are you sure you want to do this?” she asked softly.“There is still so much time. We can wait until you

    Looking up at her window, only the high fence stood between them. His wolf stirred, restless, voice low and wary inside his mind. Lilune… did she send us back to Lara? Does this mean she has decided to leave for good? A sharp breath tore from his chest. No… that face—John, could it mean—?

    Back at Corey's mansion, the air was heavy. The chandeliers hung like silent witnesses, their crystals catching the late-afternoon light and fracturing it into thin, nervous shards. Corey sat up on his king-sized bed, shoulders rigid. Derrick stood like a shadow by his side, and Greyhem lounged on

    “Go change into clean clothes and come downstairs for lunch, Maya,” James said. Maya pouted. “Okayyy, big brother.” She blew a kiss toward Janis’s tummy. “I’ll be right back in a jiffy, baby!” she said and ran upstairs, her footsteps thudding before her do
