Lisa's POV

I nodded slightly.

“I'll make sure to put that in mind.”

Mrs. Jocelyn half smiled, crossing her legs over as she took a sip from her espresso. Her eyes fixed outside on the bustling street, taking in the honking cars and everything this view had to offer. All the while stirring her espresso calmly.

I sighed, my shoulders slumped.

“Roughly a week is all that's left before the D-Day. I can feel my heart plunge into my stomach. The feeling is overwhelming.”

“Overwhelming?” Mrs. Jocelyn laugh-talked.

“That's natural, Lisa. Having the spotlight in the upcoming event is a big hit. A lot of responsibility. A lot of duties resting on your shoulder for the past week, threatening to break you. These are all temporary. What matters is the outcome of every idea. Every effort. What matters is the end result. Did it pay off? Did it end up as a disaster? These are all valid questions.”

She paused, letting her words settle before she added; “They are your compass. It might be frustrati

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 63

    Lisa's POVHe held the girl with this easy familiarity, like she'd always belonged in his arms. They even looked alike.‘It’s like looking at a mirror image.’I ducked low in the seat, just enough to not be seen, and cracked the door open.Babbie said nothing. Just popped a lollipop in his mouth and scrolled casually on his player. Like watching me tail someone into a mall was a casual Wednesday afternoon for him.I slipped out and crept closer, using a tree and one of those animal-shaped trash cans as cover.From behind a smiling giraffe, I watched Damon lift the little girl higher in the air as they went further and further from the residential area towards the mall.“What have you eaten today?” he asked.She shook her head, pouting. “Nothing.”Damon narrowed his eyes. “Really? Then how come I see ketchup on your cheeks, huh?”She rubbed her cheeks fast, looking scandalized. “Where?!”He burst into laughter. “Nowhere. But good to know you’re a messy eater.”She stuck her tongue out

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 62

    Lisa's POV“Let's step on it.” I said, burning with anticipation.The driver didn’t even shrug. “Yh, sure.”I asked curiously. “No suspicion? No moral questions? No ‘why are we following him, miss?’”“Yh, sure,” he repeated, shrugging into his seatbelt like this was just another Wednesday. I sat back, narrowing my eyes. Okay then…I’d prepared arguments in my head. Long, confident ones. About how this wasn’t stalking, but curiosity. Morbid, sure, but still curiosity.I wanted to know the people I lived with. Ronan, Damon, Sean, Colt. Especially Damon, since he seemed the most accessible. How did he spend his off days? Did he have loved ones and relatives, or was Ronan his only family? Did he stay alone?Not exactly the calm retreat Mrs. Jocelyn would've expected, but it was creative use of my time, no?All these questions and more plagued my mind and I needed answers.‘Speaking of Sean and Colt,’ I thought, settling into the seat. ‘They’re the ones who got me this ride.’The moment I

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 61

    Lisa's POV‘Why did I think sleep would calm my mind?’ If anything, it fanned the flames of my paranoia.There I was, sprawled on my bed like a beached starfish, phone held above my face and rereading the message for the fourth time this morning.“Mandatory?”MANDATORY?!That word alone had me pacing in mental spirals now. It didn’t seem like anything last night, but suddenly I read too much into it.I narrowed my eyes at the screen, suspicion rising like a dramatic musical score in my head.And that’s when my brain decided to stage a full-scale, high-budget production.Inside the neon-pink thought bubble floating over my head, a cartoon version of me stood center stage, furrowed brows and all. Enter: Chibi Selena, with perfectly curled hair and devil horns holding a clipboard that read: Operation: Derail Lisa. Attempt #140725“Let’s give her two days off,” chibi-Selena cackled. “That way she’s out of the loop just long enough for something to go sideways. Hehe~ sabotage complete!”I

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 60

    Lisa's POVI fumbled with my phone, scrolling through pamphlet designs and gaining insights. All while staring at the front door the entire time.‘This is why I need games on my phone.’ I sighed.“Good to have you home, Mr. Damon,” I said as I heard the front door open and close behind him.He stepped in, and — oh.He was… covered in blood, sweat, dirt, and something that might’ve been oil…? I didn’t even want to know.Damon blinked at me with that same unbothered calm like he’d just come back from a jog instead of what looked like a murder scene. No, a trip to the slaughter.“Mhmm. Thank you,” he murmured, voice deep and steady.I stared. “Are… you… okay?”He glanced down at himself like he was only just realizing the state he was in. “Oh. Forgot about that.”How do you forget being soaked in all that? Weren’t wolves supposed to have sharper senses? “I’m going to wash up now,” he added, already halfway up the stairs. Then he paused, tossed a glance over his shoulder, and added with

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 59: Marvelous Adventures of the Alpha's Bodyguard, Volume 1 II

    Damon’s POVThe guy bolted before I could finish catching my breath.He really was good at hiding, I could give him that.I groaned, head tilting up toward the darkening sky like it had personally offended me. “Of course. Of course one of you idiots had to make it interesting.”The stray was fast, faster than I expected for someone just watching his whole crew get sent to dreamland by one man. But I guess survival does that to people.Well, it was either that or he was just built for running.I didn’t need my shifted form to trail him. But it seemed like such a waste for him to be the only one I caught while fully human… Him and the first four guys. So, fangs extended, claws already drawn, eyes sharp and golden. I chased after him.He hit the harbour gate running and dove into a black sedan parked crooked along the edge of the loading yard. The engine revved as I scaled the nearest stack of crates, already leaping down the other side before he peeled out. The tires squealed and smoke

  • The Alpha’s Accidental Surrogate    Chapter 58: Marvelous Adventures of the Alpha's Bodyguard, Volume 1

    Damon’s POVAfter their coffee at the Delökreés cafe. I drove Lisa and Jocelyn back to the office to round off a few things. The car came to a not so screeching halt across the street, and even though I knew they saw that, I still announced our arrival. “We're here.”The car was blissfully quiet once they left.Lisa had barely stepped out and disappeared through the Red Loom doors when I let out a long sigh. Not because she was exhausting, or even because I was exhausted. If anything, she was easier to handle than most people I’d guarded. But there was something happening behind the scenes, so I had to be alert at all times when I was with her.Lisa had been extremely welcoming and actually put in effort to be nice to the staff. She didn’t need to worry about such messy happenings.I reclined the driver’s seat and closed my eyes. Five minutes. I just needed five minutes to recalibrate and move to the next task.The buzz of my phone made sure I barely got three.I picked it and saw the
