Lisa’s POV

I woke up to the sound of silence, except it wasn’t silent. There was a presence. Or someone.

I turned toward the doorway, still groggy, only to find Ronan standing there like a goddamn ghost. No knock. No greeting. Just him, fully dressed in his usual dark perfection, staring at me with those unreadable eyes.

Was he waiting for me to wake up?

“Morning?” I offered, rubbing my face.

He didn’t bother with a reply. “I'm here to remind you. The meeting with Mr. Greaves. Did you forget?”

I blinked. Right. The meeting he’d mentioned last night, the one he’d dropped on me like a brick and walked off.

I sat up a bit straighter. “What’s it about exactly?”

He shifted, almost like he didn’t want to talk. But after a second, he said, “Security. After what happened that night, Mr. Greaves is not leaving anything to chance after the incident with his son. He wants us to enforce security measures… Talk about a plan...”

“And you’re taking me… because?”

“Because you’re familiar with Mrs.

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 32

    Lisa’s POVBy the time we pulled up to the house, the sun had started dipping behind the hills, casting long orange streaks over the drive. I half-expected to see Ronan’s car already parked out front, but it was just us. Damon wasn’t around either.The silence inside the house felt heavy, like it knew I’d come back to sit in it and stew. I dropped my bag, kicked off my shoes, and collapsed into one of the plush couches lazily. I hated this.Not the couch, or the silence, or even the house.I hated this... fog. This constant state of guessing, walking on eggshells, questioning everyone’s motives, including my own.I hated that Selena showing up had left me hollow and unsure of everything I thought I was building here.My phone buzzed. An email. From Red Loom.Mrs. Jocelyn…Subject: Contract Documents — Immediate Review Recommended.I opened it briefly. Scanned the lines. The agreement, the photo schedule, the expectations. A formal welcome to the… I didn’t dive into it. Not yet. I was

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 31

    Lisa’s POVI stood there, watching Selena walk away like she’d just dropped the mic on a show I didn’t even know I was in. My fingers twitched at my sides. I wasn’t sure if I was holding myself back or just trying to keep from unraveling.Because God, I wanted to stop her. Just for one second. Ask her who the hell she thought she was. Maybe slap the smug little smile off her face while I was at it. But no, she wanted a reaction. That was the whole point of her little performance. She wanted me to lose it. Explode. Fall apart.So I didn’t.I stood there.Still.Because that’s what you do when you’re trying not to hand over your power to someone who’s already stolen more than you thought they ever could.I let it slide. Or at least I told myself I did.But I knew, deep down, that whatever Selena was plotting, it wasn’t petty. It wasn’t casual. It wasn’t mild. It wasn’t “oh, we just bumped into each other and now we’re colleagues.” No. That girl didn’t do coincidence.It was destruction

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 30

    Lisa’s POVOf all the faces I expected to see when Jocelyn stepped out of that room, hers wasn’t one of them.Selena.She was here. Out of every place in this entire world, she was here standing beside Jocelyn like she's known her for ages. Like she’d always belonged.My heart sank, and I didn’t realize how tightly I was gripping the strap of my bag until my knuckles ached.Selena’s eyes flicked up, landing on me.And then, that smile.Oh God! That damn smile.Just enough to let me know she saw the shock in my face.“Oh hey,” she said, like this was casual. Like we were old friends meeting at brunch.Jocelyn pulled me into a hug so suddenly, I didn’t even register it until her perfume filled my lungs and her arms were around me.“My darling,” Jocelyn said sweetly, genuine as always. “I’m so glad you made it.”I hugged her back stiffly, trying to fold away everything I felt, pack it down into the pit of my stomach. I didn’t want to give Selena the satisfaction of seeing how rattled I w

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 29

    Lisa’s POVI wasn’t scared when the thought first crossed my mind. Not really. It was just a passing shadow. A flicker of possibility.But there I was, hand on the doorknob to Ronan’s room, staring at the polished wood like it might strike back. Like the second I opened it, someone might be waiting on the other side with a knife. Or worse, Ronan might walk through the front door right at that moment and catch me.Not that I had anything to be guilty of. Not really.But I still let go of the knob slowly, fingers slack with hesitation, and turned away.Back to my room.I walked the hall quieter than I meant to, dropped my bag on the edge of the bed, and just sat. The silence felt heavier now. Like it knew I’d chickened out.I let my elbows rest on my knees, hands tangled in my hair, eyes locked on the nothing in front of me.Did I really want to know? Any of it?What if I found something that I couldn’t un-know? What if I opened that door and saw something that changed everything, not j

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 28

    Lisa’s POVI don't even know why I had said that, I wasn’t even sure I wanted an answer. My arms were crossed before I noticed. I wasn’t being defensive, I was just tired of being a part of all this.Ronan didn’t blink. He leaned back slowly, arms folded like a man who had nothing to lose and no reason to lie. “That’s if there’ll be a next one.”That stopped me.Not because he was being dramatic. But because he wasn’t. No sarcasm. Just certainty. Like he’d already decided something and didn’t feel the need to explain it.I turned my head slightly, not fast, just enough to find Damon where he stood at a polite distance, his hands behind his back, his face giving away nothing.Ofcourse.For a moment, none of us said anything. Just the hum of silence and the soft ticking of whatever clock they had hidden in here.“How long are we going to be here?” I asked as my eyes drifted across the room, the wall, the high ceilings, the furniture too pristine to touch.Ronan looked over at Damon, and
