CHAPTER 25: STANDING UP TO OLIVIA

OLIVIA:

After Maxine left my room, my stomach growled with hunger. I didn't want to wait for Mira to bring my breakfast. Besides, I was getting too bored sitting idly in my room every day.

I moved softly down the staircase, having in mind to prepare my breakfast by myself. The house was unusually quiet for this time of day and I wondered if it was because of last night's incident.

The maids would usually be moving about, preparing the Alpha’s breakfast and sweeping through the hallways like ghosts.

But today, there was heaviness in the air.

Or maybe I was just imagining it.

Maxine’s threats still echoed in my head, but so did my secret. The pill I’d taken was already dissolving inside me, defying the very fate he was trying to impose.

I felt a little guilty but I had to protect my own interests. If he was going to discard me like a piece of trash and hand my child over to his girlfriend, Olivia, then I would be a fool to get pregnant in the first p

    CHAPTER 81: GETTING THINGS DONE FOR THE EVENT Venus:Conrad stood beside me, waiting to be given instructions. I glanced up at him. “Make sure the Elders from the Royal Archives receive priority seating. Venus is their grandchild, even though they don't know it yet,” I added.Conrad nodded. “They’ll be arriving via air escort to Silver Hill, then we’ll escort them personally to the manor.”“Good.” I was pleased. Conrad was someone I could only trust in to deliver. And he knows everything had to be perfect.“I’ll be heading to Willowmist in a few hours. The jewelers there are finalizing the moonstone ring,” I said softly, almost to myself. “I’ve waited years to place a ring on my mate’s finger.”Conrad gave a low whistle. “You’re giving her the Nightstone Ring?”“Yes I am. It belonged to my grandmother,” I confirmed. “Forged in fire and bathed in moonlight. I’ve kept it hidden for years. It's time to slip it on her finger.”He clapped his hands behind his back. “She’ll be speechless.

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    REFLECTING ON THE MOMENT

    CHAPTER 80: REFLECTING ON THE MOMENT. MAXINE’S POV:I was sitting on my patio, sipping a glass of wine when Crystal and Venus drove in. She packed the Range Rover Sport in the garage and they both stepped down, carrying loads of shopping bags.I smiled at them broadly. I was happy they were getting along. “Hey,” I said as they approached.My eyes widened when they both came and gave me a kiss on both cheeks at the same time. This was new.“Hope you had a good time?” I asked, glancing from one beautiful face to the other.Venus nodded cutely.“We did, thanks to your blackcard,” Crystal responded gleefully.I chuckled, stood and hugged them both.I’d always believed that the Moon Goddess had destined someone exceptional for me. Growing up as the heir to the Bloodclaw Pack, I was raised on tradition, honor, and the belief that one day, a royal she-wolf would stand by my side. My father, Alpha Dorian, used to tell me, “Royal blood recognizes royal spirit.” And I believed him.You see,

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    THE BIRTHDAY PLANNING

    CHAPTER 79: THE BIRTHDAY PLANNING VENUS:I think my heart actually stopped for a full second after I heard Maxine declare that he'll mark me on my birthday and make me his Luna.It's so funny how life can change within a short period. Two months ago, I had arrived here as a slave, half dead, as a surrogate for the ruthless Alpha. And now I was about to be crowned the Luna of one of the largest packs in North America.I stood on my toes and kissed Maxine on his lips. This was the first time I initiated a kiss. “You're getting bolder,” He smirked and kissed me passionately, pulling me closer to himself. I didn't resist. I just leaned forward and rested my head on his shoulder, inhaling his manly scent which instantly turned me on.He ran his hand up and down my back while the other hand squeezed my ass gently. I was getting wet down there and a soft moan escaped my lips before I could stop it. He cupped my face with his hands and kissed me again."I will make Crystal help out with

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    I WANT TO HAVE YOUR PUP

    CHAPTER 78: I WANT TO HAVE YOUR PUPVENUS:Hearing Maxine’s words, my body flushed. Sometimes I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. This was the same Maxine who had called me a slave every chance he got, tried to choke me to death several times, humiliated me by making me serve his girlfriend and sending me out of his mansion. Now he acts like his life revolves around me.This is proof that no condition is permanent.“I’m not going to force you to have sex with me. We’ll only make love when you're willing,” he added quickly, misreading the silence in my eyes. “I’ll court you if I have to. I’ll sleep on the floor for a hundred nights if that’s what you need. But I want this to be clear. The child we create will inherit the throne of two bloodlines—mine and yours. This isn’t just love, Venus. It’s legacy.”A shiver went down my spine. The room suddenly felt too warm. My palms tingled. I just didn't know what to say to him yet He took a cautious step forward. “I won’t force y

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    I WANT TO SEEK REVENGE FOR MY PARENTS

    CHAPTER 77: I WANT TO SEEK REVENGE FOR MY PARENTS VENUS:Maxine didn't take his eyes off me while my mind was in a complete turmoil. I asked Elspeth a few more questions but she had no more information for me.“Thanks for your help, ma'am,” I said as I rose to my feet. I was already exhausted, going from one city to another. And the discovery of my past was exhausting enough. Maxine rose to his feet too and held my hand in his gently. He has been doing that a lot these days. I believe it was his own way of letting me know he will always be by my side.“You're okay?” he asked as he glanced at me.“Not really. But I can handle it,” I responded quietly.Elspeth took a long look at me. “I wish you a good future, child. Don't worry, you have a special destiny and no one can stop it.” I forced a smile. “Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help.”She turned to Maxine. “Are you her mate?”He nodded. “Yes I am.”“Do your best to make her happy. I heard about the death of her adoptiv

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    THE LAST OF THE BLOODLINE

    CHAPTER 76: THE LAST OF THE BLOODLINEVENUS:I took the photo from Elspeth and took a long look at it. It was a picture of a chubby child with cute brown eyes.There was no smile on the baby's face as she stared at the camera and it looked as though she knew she was about to face the cruel world without her beloved parents.Maxine took the picture from me and also looked at it. “This was certainly you, Venus,” Maxine remarked without hesitation. “You held on to the officer's shirt stubbornly and didn't even bother to smile at the camera.”I chuckled. I knew Maxine was trying to ease the tension on my shoulders.Elspeth shuffled around in her slippers, gathering a few things that had something to do with me. “You said… I had a mark,” I reminded her softly, trying to prompt her memory.She nodded slowly, then sat across from me and leaned forward. “Yes. A crescent-shaped mark, like a half-moon… right here.” She motioned to my shoulder. “That mark is not just any birthmark, my dear. It’
