CHAPTER 42: I DON'T BELONG HERE

VENUS:

“Fine” I said as I stormed out of Maxine’s room with my heart pounding and my head spinning.

I know I claim to hate him so much but what was it about the alpha that makes my heart pound whenever he's near?

I shoved the thought aside and hurriedly finished up my work and headed back to the maids quarters.

My mind was racing, consumed with only one thought: I needed to return that wallet. Even if the flash drive wasn’t in it, even if it meant risking going back out there, I had to do something. The man I met outside the salon had made it clear—he would kill me if I didn’t.

I shouldn't have touched that wallet that day. I should have dropped it back on the floor when those guards refused to listen to me.

Now I feel like I'm in trouble and I have no one to back me up. This is what happens when you touch what is not yours.

I quickened my steps down the corridor, ignoring the soreness in my legs from scrubbing and sweeping all morning and afternoon.

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    BEING BULLIED

    CHAPTER 46: BEING BULLIED VENUS:As we drove toward the pack, Maxine suddenly looked pale. I watched his colour get worse by the minute and eventually he lost consciousness.I almost screamed in fear but Conrad told me to calm down. I held my chest, trying to calm my nerves but my heartbeat kept accelerating.Wait, what's even wrong with me?I didn’t recognize myself anymore. I was never one to worry over people who didn’t give a damn about me, but here I was, sitting stiffly in the back seat of the car, staring at Maxine’s unconscious form sprawled across Conrad's lap.My hands trembled. My knees were weak. My chest throbbed with something I didn’t want to name. This shouldn’t have been happening. Not to me. Not for him.I shouldn't be feeling this way, right? After all, it's Maxine we are talking about here. The man who has done nothing but choke me, humiliate me and subject me to being Olivia's servant. I took another glance at him and shook my head. One moment, Maxine was barki

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    YOU CAME FOR ME

    CHAPTER 45: YOU CAME FOR ME MAXINE:"Get down!" I roared as we thundered into the room. My men and I were more than a dozen and all geared up for action, our weapons ready."Secure the target!” And then I saw Venus, trembling, her back pressed against the cold wall, and Draven… that bastard, standing far too close with a gun aimed at her head."Drop the weapon, Draven!" I snarled, voice low and deadly.He turned slowly, almost amused. "Maxine," he drawled, tilting his head. "You came for your little pet. How noble."I didn’t have time for his mind games. In one smooth motion, I lunged, my dagger slicing through the air. Gunfire erupted, metal against metal, bodies crashing against walls. My men swarmed, and chaos consumed the room.Draven fired once, missed, then tried again, but I was already on him. I slammed him to the ground, disarming him with a bone-snapping twist of his wrist. He grunted, tried to strike back, but I was faster, stronger—until he reached beneath his jacket and

    CHAPTER 44: BE MY SPYVENUS:Draven's sharp eyes glinted like twin blades as he circled me slowly, a predator toying with its prey. I sat stiffly in the metal chair, my wrists sore from the tight ropes binding them to the armrest. My heart thudded loudly in my chest, but I kept my voice even."Sir, please believe me," I said quietly, avoiding eye contact, "I don't know anything about Maxine's activities or affairs. I'm just a servant. I'm barely allowed in the mansion unless it's to scrub floors or wash the toilets."Draven stopped in front of me, crossing his arms. "You're lying. He doesn't just let anyone into his home, especially not humans. You're close to him. You're his breeder."I scoffed, though it came out more like a nervous exhale. These desperate wolves! Why involve me in their power tussle? He had to go to the extent of digging up every information about me?"You're mistaken. Alpha Maxine barely speaks to me. If he ever looks at me, it's to scold or remind me I'm a slave

    CHAPTER 43: MAXINE IS THE TARGET?VENUS:I shivered as I sat down, rubbing the ache in my ankle. I was nervous and that seemed to be the only thing I could do at the moment.Ray sat opposite me at the restaurant table, with his arms crossed, and his gaze sharp and unreadable."What happened to your foot?" he asked, as he narrowed his brows and glanced under the table.I shrugged, trying to sound casual. "Nothing serious. Just a little accident at home."He didn't look convinced. He leaned forward, and talked to me in a low but firm voice. "Venus, let’s not play games. Where’s the flash drive?"My heart jumped in my chest. I looked down, pretending to fiddle with the napkin on my lap. "I lost it."Ray scoffed. "You lost it? That's the story you're going with?""I swear," I said quickly. "It got stolen."He raised a brow. "Stolen by who?"I bit my lip. My thoughts flashed to Maxine—his fingers wrapped tightly around my waist, and my heart beating faster whenever he was near. Do I really

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO TO ME?

    CHAPTER 43: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO TO ME?VENUS: Jenna handed me her phone with a slightly raised brow. "You sure you're okay? That ankle doesn't look great.""I'll manage," I muttered, taking the phone and avoiding her eyes.She hesitated. "Who are you calling? Maybe I can help."I shook my head. "It’s something urgent. I just need to make a quick call."She stepped closer, lowering her voice. "Venus, I just… I need to know you're not doing anything that could get you into trouble. You're already under a microscope in this place. If Olivia or Maxine finds out you left the premises—""I promise, Jenna. It's nothing like that," I interrupted gently. "No one's going to get hurt. No rules will be broken. I just need to take care of something."She stared at me for a beat longer, then sighed. "Okay. Just be careful. If anything happens, make sure to let me know immediately."I nodded, already limping away with the phone clutched tightly in my hand.Once I was out of sight, near the perim
