Lisa’s POV

Colt drove like a man possessed.

He didn’t say a word, he just slammed the paddles too hard and took turns like he was street racing ghosts. The seatbelt cut across my collarbone with every lurch forward. I gripped the door handle, not for support, but to keep me from screaming.

It wasn’t fear. It was frustration. A slow, boiling rage wrapped in confusion.

We’d just fled a blood-soaked event, Ronan had stayed behind, and now I was being whisked away in the middle of the night by two wolves who were either too nervous or too trained to speak.

I stared at Colt. Then at Sean. Then back out the window.

Nothing.

They said nothing.

Not a single word came out their mouths.

So I inhaled, once. Twice. Then calmly asked, “Is anyone going to tell me what the hell is going on?”

There was a very low deep breath from one of them which thereafter, Colt was the first to break.

“Ronan is fine.”

Wait,

That’s it? That was the sentence?

I turned to him. Slowly. “And?”

That made them glance at e

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 89

    {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

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 88

    {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

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 86

    {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

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 85

    {Lisa's POV}The breeze was cooler up here, laced with the scent of salt and that strange smell of ancient trees.I stood on the edge of a cliff, barefoot, watching the ocean crash against the jagged rocks below. It wasn’t violent. The water rolled and curled like some living, breathing thing, exhaling mist into the blue sky.Behind me was a large stretch of land that looked like it had been stolen out of a medieval movie. Complete with castles, stone cottages, warm flickering lamps, and so much more.All of it stretched out under the glowing orb of a fat, silver moon.It felt like a painting. No. A hallucination.“This is real?” I asked, brushing a hair from my eyes.“As real as it gets,” Ronan said behind me.I turned.He looked… unbothered. Like we hadn't just travelled through a cave to what was apparently a different world entirely. The wolf realm.He spread his arms. “This…. is our honeymoon.”I snorted. “Of course it is. A honey-moon.”He laughed. “You got the pun quicker than

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 84

    {Lisa's POV}Here comes the bride.The music floated through the chapel, delicate and slow.Every eye in that place was on me. I should’ve felt nervous, faint even. But I didn’t.My hands were steady. My heart was loud, but steady too.I walked slowly, deliberately, toward the man standing at the end of the aisle. Toward Ronan.Petra had straightened my veil before the doors opened. Mrs. Jocelyn had given me her handkerchief like she expected me to cry. I hadn’t. Not yet.But now, as I got closer, and he finally looked up—Damn.His black suit was tailored within an inch of its life. The wolf pin on his lapel glinted under the candlelight. And his eyes were locked on me like I was the only thing in this whole chapel worth seeing.I swallowed, smiling despite myself.He mouthed something. I think it was “Beautiful.”I wanted to sprint to him. Or float. Instead, I walked gracefully until my fingers were slipping into his and the rest of the world melted away.“You made it,” he whispered
