{Lisa’s POV}

“Mhmmm. That's what I'm talking about.” I yawned as I rolled in bed. Moving from side to side, as if there were to egde. Ronan had really been hugging this beauty all this while.

“I'll definitely lock him out for that.” Murmuring as I stretched, my body spasmed. The kind that came with an entirely sublime sweetness from completing the motion.

The morning chill carried a new kind of clarity. It felt like my body finally matched the determination that had burned in my chest the day… and night before. I woke earlier than usual, earlier even than the estate’s steady rhythm of footsteps and hushed conversations.

After a quick breakfast, careful preparations and checking on Heri, I found myself standing in front of Red Loom before the doors had even fully opened.

If Selena thought she would keep the stage to herself, she was sorely mistaken.

Inside, the familiar scent of fabric dyes and polished wood greeted me. The studio hummed with the kind of early chaos that promised a pro

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 161

    {Lisa’s POV}By the crack of dawn, I was still wide awake. Humming under my breath.'Cause my love is mine, all mineMy love mine, mine, mineNothing in the world belongs to meBut my love, mine, all mine, all mineMy baby here on EarthShowed me what my heart was worthSo when it comes to be my turnCould you shine it down here for him?The window cast a pale stream of light across the room, and the silence seemed unbearable. Ronan slept soundly beside me, his arm draped heavy over my waist. His breathing was steady, calm, utterly unaware of the storm inside me.My throat tightened as I stared at him, memorizing the way his brow eased in sleep, how unguarded he looked. I ran my hand through his hair, going along his jaw which had gotten rough from stubble.Tears pricked my eyes, and I carefully shifted, trying to slip free from his arm. My chest ached with each inch of distance I tried to put between us. But just as I lifted his arm and turned to get out of the bed, his grip tightene

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 160

    {Lisa’s POV}When I returned home, the lights of the estate seemed harsher than usual, maybe due to the fact I had been crying for hours.As I rounded the corner. Approaching the front door, I saw the one person I wanted to avoid.Ronan was already waiting for me at the door, his shoulders stiff, his expression unreadable even as I got closer. For a second, I wanted to throw myself into his arms, confess everything, beg him to save me from the mess I had walked into. Instead, I lifted the shopping bags in my hands with a smile I did not feel.“Sorry I’m late,” I said, my voice lighter than the weight pressing down inside me. “Traffic was unbearable. But I brought a few things.”His eyes flicked to the bags, then back to me, and I could tell he was torn between relief and suspicion. He had been worried. I could feel it in the way his hand lingered at my arm, the way he studied me as though counting my breaths.“What did you get?” he asked, forcing calm into his voice.“Some things for

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 159

    {Lisa’s POV}“Mhmmm, good morning.”My first thought was to reach for Ronan… and I found only the empty space where he had been the night before, a cold impression on the pillow.He was gone… “Figures.”Probably back at the study. Or out on the field… maybe already buried under another avalanche of documents and things to do.I let out a tiny, tired laugh. He was doing everything for us, for the family, for the war that kept knocking on our door. I understood that, but understanding did not make the loneliness any less present. Even worse, I knew he felt the same way. So he was in as much pain as I was.I dressed slowly, moving through the room with deliberately slow steps. Both because I was still tired from the night before, and because my baby bump was getting bigger and bigger. Which meant I had to be careful with each step.Despite my understanding, I still needed Ronan… I had promised to not get in the way. Still, a gnawing worry sat at the base of my throat: what could I do to

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 158

    {Lisa’s POV}His gaze softened as he reached down, his hand resting lightly on my stomach. “Here we are,” he echoed. “And for what it’s worth, I’m glad the hospital made that mistake. If it hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t be here. We wouldn’t be here.”The honesty in his tone startled me. It stripped me bare. My laugh came softer this time, breaking into something fragile and warm.I turned away before my eyes gave me away, crossing to where his safe sat against the wall. The combination clicked under my fingers, the door swinging open with a soft metallic sound.“Lisa—what are you doing?”I reached inside and pulled out the folded contract. The ridiculous piece of paper that had bound me to him in the first place. Without hesitation, I tore it right down the middle, the sound loud in the quiet room. Then I tossed both halves into the trash can by the desk.I looked back at him, his eyes following every motion.“That thing doesn’t mean anything anymore,” I said with a smile.He took a s

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 157

    {Lisa's POV}I had no way of putting it into words. That first night with Ronan had felt almost unreal, like something woven out of magic, a moment where every piece of me melted into his touch and I lost myself in the heat of it.What startled me more was that the days that followed, the other times we ended up in each other’s arms, were no less passionate. He still held me with the same fire, kissed me with the same hunger, and made me tremble in ways I did not think were possible. Yet, beneath it all, I sensed something different. The closeness was there, the intensity was there, but his mind was not. It was as though while his body moved with me, his thoughts wandered elsewhere, caught in the chaos that weighed on him.I could not hold it against him. Too much had happened in too little time, and I knew he was fighting to keep us safe, but that distance was still there. It gnawed at me, like a small voice whispering at the back of my mind.So I did what any reasonable person would

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 156

    {Ronan’s POV}“Just one issue after the other.” I cursed.Too much had happened in the span of a few days. I sat behind my desk, staring at the open report in front of me, but my mind refused to settle on the words.My eyes traced the sentences again and again, yet none of it mattered as much as the thought clawing at the back of my head. Still, the report mocked me with its presence.Lucien had threatened Mrs. Jocelyn. He had forced her hand to take Selena back into her employment. The statement was there in ink, a testimony from one of my sources inside her office. It should have been the only thing I thought about, but it was not.The real threat pressed harder than anything else. The mole. The one who had betrayed me, who had left cracks in my walls and given my enemies too much room to move. Always keeping them a step ahead.And even when I was the one in the lead. The universe itself seemed to mess things up.‘What could it be?’ I groaned.I leaned back in my chair and pressed m
