Surrogate to the Beastly Alpha Chapter Forty-Four
Aria I froze, my hand hovering over the handrail of the back stairwell. Selena didn’t look angry. That was what made it worse. She looked perfectly calm, her hands folded neatly in front of her white dress as she walked slowly down the empty hallway toward me. "Luna," I said, dropping my gaze to the floor out of sheer habit. "I have to admit, I was curious," Selena said, stopping just a few feet away. The smell of her expensive floral perfume filled the narrow corridor. "You practically dragged that poor guard away. What on earth were you two whispering about in the pantry?" My heart hammered against my ribs. "Nothing. Finn was just... showing me a shortcut to the kitchens." "A shortcut," Selena repeated slowly. She let out a soft, dismissive little laugh. "Right. Well, I suppose it’s none of my business where the help sneaks off to." She took another step closer. Her voice dropped, losing the polite tone entirely. It was cold, sharp, and meant exactly for me. "For your own g

Aria I woke up buried in the heavy blankets, completely tangled in Cassius’s limbs. The room was quiet, lit only by the pale morning light coming through the window. Cassius was already awake. He was lying on his side, his heavy arm draped over my waist, pulling my back flush against his chest. I could feel the steady, reassuring thump of his heartbeat against my shoulder. A rush of warmth flooded my chest. I remembered the heat of last night, the desperate way he held me, and a huge, genuine smile spread across my face. I shifted slightly, tilting my head back to look at him. Before I could say a word, three sharp knocks echoed at the bedroom door. "Alpha?" Beta Drew’s voice came through the thick wood, muffled but urgent. "The morning financial meeting started ten minutes ago. The elders are waiting." Cassius let out a low, frustrated groan. His arm tightened around me for a second, burying his face in my hair to take a deep breath. "I'm coming," Cassius called back, his voi

The kiss hit like a collision. Cassius tasted like dark wine and ruin. His mouth was punishing, desperate, burning the thoughts right out of my head. I should have shoved him off. I should have screamed at him for calling me a liar, for hauling me through the halls, for being so blind. Instead I fisted my hands in his hair and dragged him closer, moaning as his tongue pushed deep. A growl rolled up out of his chest. Not the king. The thing that lived underneath the king. He let go of my wrists, caught my waist hard enough to bruise, and lifted me off the floor. My legs went around his hips on instinct. I held onto his shoulders while he carried me away from the door, his mouth still on mine. He didn't walk so much as stalk backward, blind, until the backs of his knees hit my mattress. We went down together. His weight pressed me into the bed. He was already hard, straining through his trousers, grinding against the thin cotton of my underwear. The oversized server's uniform

Aria The Luna’s private chambers were completely empty. I knew Selena was still downstairs hosting the elders’ dinner, playing the frail, exhausted mother-to-be. It was the only window of time I was going to get. If I was going to save my own life, I needed physical proof that her pregnancy was a lie. I needed that dark glass vial of wolfsbane potion. I slipped inside and closed the heavy oak door behind me. I went straight for her vanity table. My hands shook as I pulled open the small velvet-lined drawers. I dug through expensive perfumes, jeweled hairpins, and silk ribbons. Nothing. The vial was gone. She must have hidden it or given it back to the Healer. Panic started to claw at my throat. I dropped to my knees, pulling open the bottom drawers of her massive mahogany dresser. I shoved aside folded silk nightgowns, searching blindly for a hidden compartment, a false bottom, anything that could prove to Cassius that his wife was a monster. "Looking for something to steal, Ar

AriaMy muscles still burned with a deep, persistent ache. Every time I took a breath, I felt the phantom weight of Cassius’s massive body pressing me into the hard canvas of the underground training mat. We had fought for two hours that afternoon. He had pushed me to my absolute physical limit, but beneath the punches and the blocks, there was a heavy, suffocating heat that neither of us could ignore.When he had finally pinned me, our chests heaving, his face only inches from mine, his control had nearly snapped. Stay in your room, he had ordered, his voice rough, strained, and laced with a feral warning. Do not leave until I send for you.I had obeyed. I was sitting on the edge of my bed, nursing a bruised shoulder in the quiet safety of my room, when the heavy oak door suddenly swung open.A senior maid marched in. Her face was set in a deep scowl, and over her arm, she carried a stiff, scratchy black-and-white server’s uniform. She threw the garments onto my mattress."Get dresse

Aria The Thornwood training ring was deep beneath the castle. It was made of dark, damp stone. The room smelled like chalk, old iron, and heavy sweat. I pushed the heavy iron doors open. My heart hammered against my ribs. I had run to my room to take off that awful maid’s uniform. Now, I wore faded leggings and a tight black tank top. It was the only clothing I could really move in. I stepped inside. The heavy iron doors slammed shut behind me with a loud clang. Cassius was already there. He had taken off his suit jacket and tie. His white shirt was tossed on a wooden bench. He stood on the padded mats in just his dark pants. His broad chest rose and fell with slow, deep breaths. I swallowed hard. My mouth went totally dry. Without his expensive clothes, Cassius didn't look like a king. He looked like a lethal predator. Thick, silver scars covered his chest and shoulders. The dim lights caught the sweat on his skin. He slowly wrapped his hands in white tape. His dark eyes lock
