Lisa’s POV

The water dripped down my arms as I shut the faucet, steam curling all around us like a soft little fog. Heri was towel-wrapped, tiny and blinking at me with that sleepy face she always made after a hot bath. My own hair was plastered wet against my cheeks, sticking to my neck. I wrung out the ends, shivering a little but not because of the cold.

Because of that mark.

It was still burning in my mind.

But she didn’t even… care. Like, hello? Big suspicious alpha mark stamped on your back and she’s just—meh, shrug, “oh yeah, family said it’s normal.” Normal?! Whaaaat?!

“Urmm…” I mumbled under my breath, clutching my towel tighter. “Not normal at all, Lisa, nope nope nope. Totally weird. Totally important. Totally something I gotta—ahhh…”

“Lisa?” Heri tilted her head at me, her damp hair dripping onto the towel. “Why are you making faces?”

“Wh—faces? Me? N-nooope, no faces, all good, totally good, yup!” I squeaked, scrambling for the door before she could stare too long. “C-com

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 110

    Ronan’s POVThe elder stood at the doorway, framed by the dim afternoon light. His steps were measured, but his presence carried the weight of someone used to respect. His hair had silvered, skin weathered by time, but his eyes… sharp. Searching.“Alpha Ronan,” he greeted, voice low, resonant. “I apologize for the delay.”I inclined my head. “Your wife received us graciously.”He glanced toward the table, the untouched tea, the cooling biscuits, then back to me. His gaze lingered, reading me the way old wolves do. “I imagine you didn’t come only to drink tea.”“No.” I gestured to the seat opposite. “There are matters I need your insight on. Private matters.”He lowered himself slowly, hands resting on his knees, posture still proud. “Then speak.”The room quieted. Even the tick of the clock seemed to hold back.I drew a breath. “It’s about a mark. A strange one. I’ve only seen it once—on a child.”The elder’s eyes flickered. Just for a heartbeat, but I caught it. “A mark,” he repeated

    Lisa’s POVThe dishes were still clinking faintly in the sink when Ronan stood up, chair legs scraping the floor in that decisive alpha way he always did things. His expression was sharp, already distant, like his head was two steps ahead of us, plotting the next move.“Damon,” he said, voice calm but commanding, “let’s go.”Go? Go where? My brain scrambled. And then it hit me—oh no no no no no—“Wait, wait, hold on.” I pushed up so fast my chair nearly tipped. “Go? As in—leave leave? Right now?? Without—without me??”Ronan barely even looked at me. Just grabbed his coat off the back of the chair like I hadn’t just squeaked myself into near-collapse. “Yes.”My mouth dropped open. “Wh—WHAT?! Excuse me?! You—you can’t just—”He finally glanced at me, one brow arching in that annoying I’ve already made my decision way. “Lisa. Stay here. Rest.”Rest?! Ohhh nooo. Nope nope nope. “Urmm—ahhh—rest?? After you just dropped a BOMB about creepy elder guys and mysterious alpha marks and scary aur

    Lisa’s POVWhen my eyes blinked open again, light stabbed at me. Not soft dawn light — no, full-on, bright, burning sunshine pouring through the curtains. My first thought was— what time is it? My second was— wait, I actually slept?I rolled to the side, squinting at the clock on the nightstand. The red digits glared back.“10:03…”I sat up so fast the blanket tangled around my legs and nearly sent me face-first into the floor. “Wh-what?! Ten??! No way—” My hands scrambled through my hair like maybe it would help me think clearer. “Ohhh crap crap crap, it’s—late, it’s… waaay late, oh God…”My chest squeezed, that cold reminder washing back in. Last night. The forest. Heri. The men. The suffocating weight. My breath hitched, and suddenly it all came tumbling back at once.I clutched the blanket to my chest. “No, no, don’t—don’t think about it right now… calm down, Lisa, urmm, just… just breathe, ahhh…”Before I could spiral further, a sound made me freeze.The bathroom door clicked ope

    Lisa’s POVI opened my mouth, but nothing came out—just a dry squeak, like my throat forgot how to work. Damon stood there, jug dangling in his hand, his eyes scanning between me and Heri. Too sharp. Too heavy.“I… uh…” My lips stuck together. My palms were sweaty, trembling, and I tried wiping them on my shirt but it only made the fabric cling. “I-I… urmm…”Heri clutched at my arm, pressing into my side like she wanted me to shield her, and that tiny shake in her fingers made my chest hurt. Damon took a slow step closer, tilting his head, his nostrils flaring like he was trying to sniff something out.“Lisa,” he said, voice lower, firmer now. “I know something happened. Don’t… don’t say nothing. Because I feel it. The fear. The drain. It’s heavy on you both.”Ahh, crap. My knees buckled a little. I wanted to run, but where? We were already home. “I-I’ll explain, I will, just—just let me…” My voice cracked. “Heri first. She… she needs to rest.”His brows pulled tighter, but he nodded

    Lisa’s POVMy throat was tight, like I’d swallowed glass. I couldn’t move, not really, not when that weight pressed the men down. It wasn’t mine, wasn’t me, and still it was here—thick, suffocating.Heri pressed closer, her fur brushing my leg, trembling. Then—crack. Her bones started snapping again, sharp, awful sounds. I gasped, stepping back.“Wha—Heri, wait—”Her small wolf form twisted, stretched, and within seconds she was back. A little girl again, kneeling in the dirt, hair a mess, sweat sticking to her temples. She was breathing hard, clutching her chest.Her eyes—confused. Too confused.She looked around, wild, blinking like she’d just woken up. Her gaze darted from the groaning men to the forest shadows, then landed on me.“Li…sa?” Her voice cracked. Small. Trembling. “W-what’s… wh-where are we? Whaaaat’s happening? Why are we… in the… forest?”Her confusion hit me like a slap.“What—” I croaked, then clamped my mouth shut. My lips trembled. “You… you don’t… you don’t know?
