Lisa’s POV

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Little Lisa."

The voice hit me even harder as I turned. Familiar. Smug. Drenched in that same self-importance I remembered all too well.

Bryan Moreno.

He stood there, hands in his pockets like he belonged, like everyone in the room owed him attention. The smirk on his face made my stomach knot up.

Memories of a life long suppressed came in waves. Flooding my mind with reels made of the sweetest poison. The very kind that left me a shell of who I once was.

"Bryan," I said, a little sharper than I intended. I refused to let him see how much his presence before me affected me.

He took a couple slow steps closer, eyes sweeping over me like he was sizing up a painting he'd sold years ago. "Don't look so surprised. What else could you be doing here? Aren't you stalking me?"

I blinked, keeping my eyes on anything by him or my trembling hands as I gave a clipped reply; "I am not stalking you."

He still continued, clearly amused. "Sure about that? 'Cau

    {Ronan's POV}“I want you to find out about Heri,” Ronan said.I blinked, sure I’d misheard. “What?”He replied, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “That’s the only way. We know almost nothing about her. She doesn’t talk much. If she’s hiding something, it’s going to come out when she’s comfortable.”I tilted my head. “...And how exactly am I supposed to make her ‘comfortable’? She barely talks to me either.”“She will. It's you, come on. Heritage will open up to you. You just need to be around her, spend time with her… see what she says. Or does. Get as much information as you can.”I crossed my arms. “So… you want me to interrogate a kid?”He corrected. “Not interrogate… observe. Plus, you can do it all from home. No danger, no going out. Just… be you.”I groaned but nodded. “Fine. I’ll do what I can.”A smirk tugged at his mouth. “That’s my girl.”Before I could react to that little claim, his hands shot forward and tickled my sides. I yelped and squirmed, pushing at

    {Ronan's POV}Lisa didn’t blink. She sat there like she’d been nailed to the couch, eyes fixed on me, waiting for me to continue.I leaned back, my arm stretched along the couch’s top edge.I sighed “This morning I didn’t head for the usual routes. I went into town proper.”She tilted her head, curious.Haven’s town proper wasn’t like the markets Lisa had seen in the human world. This was larger, louder, and everything was normal… well, to a wolf like myself. To a human, it would be like a Circus freakshow.All around me, traders were present. Those selling skins, information, tools and the like, the children moved between stalls, and the air smelled like grilled meat, leather, and rain-soaked stone.It was the kind of place where you could lose yourself or be found if someone knew where to look.I kept my hood low, blending into the flow. My goal wasn’t the stalls. It was a tavern tucked between two tall, narrow brick buildings: The Pelt.The owner, Garron, had been in the business o

    {Ronan's POV}“Call it curiosity or delusion, but the markings on her arms seemed familiar.”That's why I had to dig deeper.Sure, she was an outskirt kid I could have walked away from without too many questions. Not from neglect, but because her life didn't tie into my hunt. A New Haven child though? That had threads leading somewhere. And right now, threads were what I needed. ‘It can't be a coincidence that I found her, right?’ I thought to myself.If she had family here, I could make introductions. Offer a safe return. And in the process… slip in questions about Charles’ last days without anyone clamming up. Disguising curiosity as neighborly concern worked better than direct interrogation. ‘That could work.’So I decided… She was coming with me.I called one of my Bloodmoon wolves, Orion, as I got home. He'd keep watch over the house when I wasn’t there.As I ended the call, my phone buzzed again. This time, it was a message from one of my men stationed in the human world. A s

    {Ronan's POV}‘Damn.’Lisa didn’t say anything… at first.She just stared at me, mouth drawn into that pout she saved for when she was annoyed but still wanted to be cute about it. I knew the look. And I deserved it.“I should’ve told you. A few weeks back, when you called and I didn’t answer for days.”Her eyes narrowed. “Wait. Don't tell me you were…?”“You sly—”She couldn’t complete anything before I leaned over and pinched her cheek.She swatted at me, but the corners of her mouth curled despite herself.“I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you stressing. You already had enough on your plate.”“That’s not your call.”“I know. But I made it anyway.”She rolled her eyes, exaggerated and dramatic. “You’re lucky I’m soft.”“Soft? Since when?”She smacked my arm, then leaned against the couch, arms loosening slightly.‘Pheww… that worked.’Her irritation hadn't vanished completely, but the sting had dulled.I grew serious again. “The truth is… I kept my distance on purpose. It was

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 87

    {Lisa’s POV}There was something about the way Heri stood beside me that reminded me of the orphanage.The quietness. The way her eyes watched everything without blinking, like she was afraid it might all disappear if she didn’t memorize it fast enough. Even the way her small hands folded behind her back while I sliced the tomatoes on the counter.I didn’t know her story. But I’d seen that kind of silence before.“I used to cut my fingers a lot, you know,” I said casually, holding up a piece of tomato to show her the grip.When I was sure she heard me, I continued. “My first lesson ended with more blood in the salad than mayo.”Heri tilted her head slightly, the corner of her mouth twitching. Almost a smile. Almost.Encouraged, I pushed a bowl closer to her. “Go ahead. Try slicing a few. I’ll guide your hand if you want.”She didn’t move. But her eyes flicked to the knife, then to me. Then back again. I could tell she was curious, maybe even excited… but hesitation pinned her in place

    {Lisa’s POV}The first thing I felt wasn’t the sun. Or the sheets. It was eyes.Tiny, quiet eyes.I opened mine slowly, still fogged up by sleep, and found a little girl kneeling at the side of the bed, her chin resting on the mattress. She blinked up at me, wide-eyed and still.I sat up abruptly.“Oh—”She didn’t flinch. But then, like a switch flipped, she scurried away without a word, her small feet barely making a sound on the floor as she slipped out through the door.“Ronannnn. Who's the girl?” I called.His voice came from somewhere outside the room. “I'm here. Just come out back.”I squinted at the half-drawn curtains, sunlight slashing across the walls in golden lines. Whatever time it was, it smelled like morning. “Ok, cominggg.”I stretched, groaned, yawned my soul out, then patted around the sheets for my phone before I remembered it was on the stand to my side.I pulled on the robe at the end of the bed, snuggling a bit longer before I stepped out.The hallway opened int
