CHAPTER 26: WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

VENUS:

Maxine's words made me lose my appetite. The pill had already done its worst and there's no reversing it except to wait for another of my heat periods.

But Maxine was acting as if I was already pregnant. So full of expectation and so sure of himself. I shivered at the thought of how he would react during my next period.

Sigh.

I didn't even want to get pregnant for him. I just have to find a way to escape. If I hadn't overheard him telling Olivia how he would have me discarded after giving birth, maybe I would've considered his offer.

But he makes promises to me but has ulterior motives.

I sat at the edge of the bed and picked up the remote control. I didn't even know how to operate the television but I knew I had to start trying. Living alone in this room is too boring, especially as I wasn't even allowed to go out freely.

A soft knock came at the door suddenly.

"Come in," I called, setting the remote down.

The door opened and Mira stepped in, c

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    STANDING UP TO OLIVIA

    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

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    CONFRONTING VENUS

    CHAPTER 24: CONFRONTING VENUS MAXINE:When I left Venus' room, I went to Conrad, and ordered him to check the footage from the surveillance cameras. He instantly went to the control room while I went back to my chambers to catch some sleep.The injuries in my body have healed but I was still seething with anger over Draven's assault. I just wanted to check if there were any unusual movements from my pack or if someone had betrayed us. I didn't get a notice from Conrad until the early hours of the morning. “Alpha, there's something you might want to take a look at,” Conrad said through the mind link. I got out of bed and headed downstairs. There were definitely two suspicious movements from two of my guards. But what got my attention more was the footage from Venus' room.I stared at the monitor, my jaw clenching as I watched Venus moving around the room. My instincts were alert. There was something off about her body language, something she was trying too hard to hide. “What is s

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    TAKING THE CONTRACEPTIVE

    CHAPTER 23: TAKING THE CONTRACEPTIVE VENUS:“Are you going to die?” I couldn't help but ask. The way he talked about needing an heir urgently sounded like he wasn't sure he would make it to the next day.Maybe that Draven guy he talked about was more ruthless than Maxine.Maxine didn't respond to my question. He just got out of bed, put on his clothes and left. What a ruthless Alpha.I was still reeling from what he had done to me earlier. The tingling ache between my thighs refused to go away for more than an hour, even after I had soaked myself in warm water, hoping it would quench the fire Maxine had left behind.What kind of drink had he given me?The moment I swallowed that golden liquid, I knew something was wrong. My body betrayed me. My breathing turned shallow, my skin sensitive to the faintest breeze, and my thoughts clouded with desire for sex.I can't believe I had begged that monster to fuck me. I even went on my knees, begging the very man who terrified me most to touch

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    MAXINE IS ATTACKED

    CHAPTER 22: MAXINE IS ATTACKED MAXINE:A hand gripped my shoulder and the voice that followed was unmistakable."You look like a piece of shit, Maxine," came that familiar, smug voice. "Trouble in paradise?”Draven. He was surrounded by his guards and he thought that gave him the right to mock me.I didn’t respond to his mockery. But my fist did.I punched his face so hard his lips split and his head snapped to the side. He stumbled back, and snarled. Blood ran down his lips, and his cheek turned red.His guards immediately sprang forward."Kill him," Draven spat. "Right here. Right now."I shifted before they did, but I was outnumbered. They didn't care that I was on home ground. They beat me, while I fought back like a true wolf.But their claws and blows rained down on me until I could barely see straight. Still, I didn’t beg. I didn’t even make a sound. My focus was on Draven. I had a knife concealed in my pocket. I aimed at his chest and threw the knife. But he was clever, to

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    BURNING DOWN MY LEGACY

    CHAPTER 21: BURNING DOWN MY LEGACY MAXINE:As I raced to the car park, I could still feel Venus's heat clinging to my skin. Her scent didn't leave me either, as if to remind me that we had unfinished business. “Please touch me, Alpha,” she had begged—on her knees—burning with desire. And I had wanted her too. Damn it, I had wanted her. But the moment my beta's voice pierced through my mind link, my desire for Venus's body vanished."Alpha! The headquarters is on fire."My blood went cold. I’d gotten up from the bed, ignoring Venus's trembling fingers grasping at me. Her glazed eyes silently pleaded for me not to go but I had no choice. I heard her whimper when I left, but I couldn’t afford to look back.I silently drove to the company grounds very fast. The car sped through the darkened streets, and I could see the red glow in the distance growing brighter with every second. I saw the plume of black smoke rising in the air like a thick cloud and my heart sank. When I finally g

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    THE BURNING SENSATION

    CHAPTER 19: THE BURNING SENSATION VENUS:I felt heat, raw and desperate in my sensitive parts. And I knew it was the wine. It tasted sweet but I felt strange as soon as it landed in my stomach. “I feel strange,” I muttered, glancing at Maxine, who sat opposite me, sipping his wine.“Relax. It hasn't started working yet.”“What?” I literally couldn't sit still.I was still wondering what was in it when my body started to betray me.The heat.was consuming, and It curled through my stomach like smoke and set every inch of me on fire. My thighs squeezed together involuntarily. My breath quickened.I looked up at Maxine, who sat across from me, and reached out to touch him. But the maddening smirk on his face made me annoyed, "What... what did you give me?" I asked, my voice shaking helplessly.He raised his eyebrows, leaning back like a king enjoying a private show. "Something to help you relax. Do you like how it feels?""I.. I.." I gasped and couldn't make a reasonable sentence.Maxi

  • THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE    DON'T KEEP ME WAITING

    CHAPTER 19: DON'T KEEP ME WAITING VENUS:His voice was low, deep, and commanding.“Take off your clothes.”I froze.I hadn’t expected him to say it so bluntly. And the look on his face terrified me. My hands trembled slightly, but I didn’t move. Not yet.He tilted his head, watching me with narrowed eyes. The smirk on his lips was gone and he looked like a predator about to tear into his prey. “All I need from you is obedience and you can't give it?”I swallowed hard and rose to my feet. “I’m sorry, Alpha.”He stared at me, taking in every inch of my body through the transparent lace that barely covered me. So this was the purpose of wearing this excuse of a dress? Just so the Alpha could stare through it and gaze at my body? He seemed to notice how my thighs quivered and the subtle shift in my breathing.“Then go on,” he said. “Don’t keep me waiting.”My fingers reached for the strap of the sheer lace dress Clara had forced me into. It barely covered anything, really—just a cruel

    CHAPTER 18: TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES VENUS :I cried myself to sleep that night and didn’t leave my room for two whole days.Not because I couldn’t. But because I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to see anyone.I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror. Each time I tried, I saw a scared little girl pretending to be strong.I cried. A lot. Not because I saw Maxine with Olivia or even because of Maxine’s cruel words. But because I let myself believe for one stupid second that maybe he cared. Who would blame me? He touched me in ways that made me feel special. Mira still brought me food. Fancy things. Healthy things. Fruits I didn’t even know existed and soups that tasted like they came from a royal kitchen.Mira always stayed to make sure I finished the food. That was the Alpha's order, she always said and he is never to be disobeyed. I had to eat. It was Maxine’s order. He wanted me to be strong. Not for love but for breeding.It has been two days and I was beginning to feel like a pr
