The Dreaded Alpha’s Surrogate TEN: SIGNED IN BLOOD- NEW ENEMIES
ELIZABETH MILKHARTI could hardly hear the girls’ angry murmuring above the frantic beating of my heart as we tumbled out of the gothic throne room into the cool air of the castle outside.My cheeks were wet with tears and it was all i could do to reign in the frustrated scream that rose to my throat when I felt a hand shove me roughly from behind.“What the fuck did you do cunt?! I should have known a whore like you would try to one-up us by sleeping with the Alpha!” Sarah Sossen’s vile insults cut through my heart like a knife.“I didn't sleep with him! I didn't even WANT to be here!” I wanted to scream, instead, I wrapped my arms around my body, shaking my head weakly for lack of anything better to say.There was no denying the fact that I had just made the entire wolf pack my enemy…a fate that was worse than death itself.“Enough. This way please, Miss Milkhart.” The big guard I had seen earlier interrupted us, his orange-brown eyes locking on mine with an intensity that made my
The Dreaded Alpha’s Surrogate ELEVEN: BLACKWOOD’S FORBIDDEN
ELIZABETH MILKHART“Please-” I croaked, beating desperately against the tall Luna’s hard chest as darkness surged in my vision before a woman’s shrill voice made her drop me instantly.“Your Grace!” Theresa shrieked as I tumbled to the floor, catching only a glimpse of the fear in her reddened face before pain exploded in the side of my head as I hit the ground. HARD.“Miss Milkhart! I-Is everything alright?!” Theresa wheezed, rushing over to kneel beside me with her soft hands moving comfortingly inside my hair.I gasped, tears filling my vision as I scrambled away from the woman who towered above me like a wraith, her narrowed hazel eyes and long blonde hair billowed around her shoulders like waterfalls.“Listen to me, Elizabeth Milkhart, because I will only repeat this over your grave.” Cassandra Blackwood hissed, pointing one crooked black claw at me as a scream lodged in my throat.“You will not see MY husband outside of the council’s permission, do you understand? And no jewelry
The Dreaded Alpha’s Surrogate TWELVE: WELCOME TO HELL- THE BALL
ELIZABETH MILKHARTLace, chiffon, and silk dresses and suits shimmered in the low candle-lit room of the banquet hall as the melody of the opera and piano drifted softly through the air. I felt my shoulders sag as the sweet wine Theresa had slipped me earlier dissolved on my tongue.It was beautiful…rich, and my head whipped from side to side to take it all in.My dress was a silver, silk slip that hugged my curvy body and plunged low at the neckline. It had been Madam Burter’s choice and I wiggled uncomfortably in the right dress.“God help me,” I whispered under my breath and my eyes moved through the crowd as the murmur of conversation boomed around me.I didn't have anyone to talk to, but I was fine with that, I was staring right at the Alpha who seemed to have all the women entranced by his presence.The King stood nearly two heads above everyone else, his tall stocky frame draped in an all-black suit with stars and beads on the shoulders. Ezra Blackwood was striking, with his wo
The Dreaded Alpha’s Surrogate THIRTEEN: TROUBLE IN PARADISE
ALPHA EZRA BLACKWOODBlood roared in my ears as I pounded my way into my royal chambers with the Luna of Blackwood snapping at my heels.“That was too far, Cassandra-” I started, whirling to face the tall blonde woman and watching her face redden even more as the dark arched brows drew together on her head.Her exquisite, ball gown had come undone at her shoulders, exposing the rounded white curves that made my groin tighten with lust.She looked wild, with platinum blonde hair falling down her back in straight sheets and her full red lips turned down distastefully. She did not look like my wife at all.“TOO FAR?! You were all but fucking here right there in the open for everyone to see Ezra Blackwood! Do you know how much of a disgrace that is as your wife?! Have you forgotten your duty to me-” She screamed, pointing at the empty doorway behind us.Me? Disgrace her? Her words sparked a dark fury inside me that made my vision blur and I was pinning her against the wall before I realiz
The Dreaded Alpha’s Surrogate FOURTEEN: THE MATING NIGHT
ELIZABETH MILKHARTThe woman’s black glare fixed on me like a hawk on prey until I felt what little sanity I had left unravel. Madam Burter yanked at my wild red curls brutally with her comb, her hot eyes burning my face in the blue glass of the mirror.It was almost time for my first night with the Alpha, but I couldn't push back the painful bitterness that had lodged in the back of my throat.“Three nights Elizabeth,” She ground out, but my name rolled off her tongue as “eel-isabed”, the harsh sound of it making my teeth set on edge.My scalp was on fire when she finally dropped the comb, allowing waves of red to frame my long porcelain face beautifully.“Tonight is your first chance to impress the court and get pregnant with Blackwood’s heir. Now what happened with the Queen was unfortunate…but it is a disgrace for a surrogate to come to the royal castle also barren.” She hissed, her coal-black eyes pining my face in the mirror.I felt my throat burn as panic wound tight knots in m
The Dreaded Alpha’s Surrogate FIFTEEN: A MAIDEN FOR THE KING
ALPHA EZRA BLACKWOODThere were tears in the redhead’s eyes as she stumbled into the room.Had Cassandra done something already? The breath I inhaled burned my throat as the maiden surrogate sputtered helplessly, her despair clutching at my chest in a way that made heat swell in my groin.Fucks sake- What the fuck was wrong with me? I shouldn't be caring about her feelings, and yet here I was, wrapping my hands around her and whispering comfortingly like a fucking saint.I was a damned hypocrite and I knew it.“Elizabeth,” I breathed, trying to calm her hysterics but my voice only seemed to renew her efforts to claw at my chest desperately. Her skin felt soft under my hands, and I had to bite back the urge to sink my teeth into her flesh. To taste her salty skin, the full pink pout of her lips…damn it! What was wrong with me?The maiden’s face was frightened as she rambled on about not being ready, flailing her hands wildly and sucking in a deep breath when I caught her tightly by t
The Dreaded Alpha’s Surrogate SIXTEEN: THE QUEEN’S DEADLY SECRETS
ELIZABETH MILKHARTStupid, stupid, stupid! How could I have been so freaking stupid?!“Worrying is futile M’Lady, if the King has said he will handle it, then he will,” Theresa whispered comfortingly but her words did nothing to stop my panic from growing.My chest felt tight. So tight I was almost certain my heart would burst in my chest and kill me where I stood.It had only been hours since I fled from Alpha Blackwood’s exquisite royal chambers and now the Luna wanted to have a word with me.Could I not catch a break? I had known even before leaving the small cottage house that I shared with Ma that Blackwood was a dark place, filled with snobbish wolves who would put me down at every turn.“What do I have to do to get the Luna on my side Theresa? I need protection from that witch woman Sarah Sossen!” I rasped breathlessly, flailing my hands dramatically and biting my tongue when the maid’s eyes widened.“M-M’lady, I don't know…Luna Cassandra can be rather heartless when the royal
The Dreaded Alpha’s Surrogate SEVENTEEN: FRIENDS WITH THE LUNA
ELIZABETH MILKHARTI opened and closed my mouth wordlessly as the Luna’s words cut through me like a sword.She thought I was wild?! Tears burned the back of my throat at the subtle insult. “There were six of us women Elizabeth, all masked, dancing for the King. It had been terrifying you know? All the intensity of that dark gaze focused on you,” She whispered, shivering in thought and I blushed deeply.I knew exactly what she was talking about. The way the King had stared at me the other night… like I was the only living thing in his world.I could get lost in a man like that. Lost and broken.“Then…then what happened?” I dared to ask, my heart pounding hard inside me when her eyes narrowed on my face and she turned away from the window, dwarfing me with her tall body.“Then, silly human, he chose me. Of course he did. I captivated him even closed up and masked as I was. The King told me there would never be another woman like me. His Sandra.” She gritted through clenched teeth, an
