Dominic's POV

The next day.

I sat at my desk, staring at the same report for the fifth time. The words blurred together, meaningless.

My mind was elsewhere.

Last night. The way Xena's body had responded to my touch. The sound she made. The warmth of her skin under my fingers. Her scent still lingered in my memory. Her moan still echoed in my ears.

I slammed the report shut and pushed back from my desk, my chair scraping against the floor. I had gone to Freya's room after. Held her hand. Told he

  • The Invisible Surrogacy Mate   Chapter 20 An Accidental Meet-Cute

    Dominic's POVThe café had become my refuge over the past few weeks. A place where I could sit in the corner, stare at nothing, and pretend the weight of everything wasn't crushing me. The coffee was always cold by the time I remembered to drink it. Today was no different.I was nursing a cup I had barely touched when my Beta slid into the seat across from me. His expression was strained, the kind of look that meant he was about to ask for something unreasonable."I need a favor," he said without preamble.I didn't look up. "I'm not in the mood.""It's not for me. It's for Mira."That got my attention. I finally looked at him. "Mira?""The little girl from the orphanage. The one whose parents died in the rogue attack a few months ago. It's her birthday tomorrow."I remembered her. Small, quiet, with eyes that had seen too much too young. She had been sitting alone by the window during the Luna visit, and Xena had coaxed her out of her shell."She has one wish," my Beta continued. "She

  • The Invisible Surrogacy Mate   Chapter 19 Dominic's Game

    Xena’s POVThe herb garden had become my sanctuary.Over the next few days, I found myself drawn to its quiet corners, my hands buried in soil, my mind focused on the simple act of tending to the plants. There was something grounding about it—the earthy smell, the gentle rustle of leaves, the way the sun filtered through the canopy above. Here, I wasn't a surrogate. I wasn't a placeholder. I was just a woman who knew how to heal.Elara had been the first to notice. My maid had come to me complaining about her knee again, the pain keeping her up at night. I had prepared a poultice for her, showing her how to apply it. Within days, she was walking without a limp. Then word spread. A few pack members approached me with minor ailments, and I helped them too. It wasn't much, but it gave me purpose. It made me feel like more than just a vessel.The afternoon sun was warm on my back as I worked, my fingers pressing fresh herbs into a mortar. I was preparing a salve for Fae, the little girl f

  • The Invisible Surrogacy Mate   Chapter 18 A Placeholder

    Dominic's POVI left Freya's room with my mind still churning, the image of her pale face burned into my memory. The physician's words echoed in my head on repeat. Someone had been preventing her from taking her pills. Someone had wanted her sick. The implications were staggering, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I was missing something crucial. Something right under my nose.I pushed the thought aside as I walked through the hallways, but it kept clawing its way back. I needed to clear my head. I needed to think. But every corner of this mansion seemed to carry reminders of everything I was trying to escape. Instead, my feet carried me in a direction I hadn't intended.Xena's room.I stopped outside her door, my hand hovering over the handle. I didn't know why I was here. I should be with Freya and trying to figure out who was responsible for hurting her.Instead, I was standing here, about to face the woman I had left behind without a word. The guilt was already coiling in my

  • The Invisible Surrogacy Mate   Chapter 17 Save This Sinner

    Xena's POVThe orphanage was buzzing with energy. Children's laughter echoed through the halls, their tiny feet pattering against the wooden floors as they raced to see who had come to visit. Their faces lit up with pure, unguarded excitement the moment they saw us, and for a brief moment, I forgot about the weight pressing down on my chest.A little boy, no older than five or six, broke away from the crowd and ran straight toward me. Before I could react, his small arms wrapped around my legs in a tight hug. I felt my heart clench at the gesture—so trusting, so innocent.I knelt down to his level, a warm smile spreading across my face. "What's your name, little one?"He simply stared at me, his smile still plastered across his face, but he didn't speak."That's Matthew," an old woman said as she approached me. "He doesn't speak.""Oh," I said, letting out a soft, nervous laugh. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean—""It's alright," she said, her voice kind. "It's your first day here, and it tak

  • The Invisible Surrogacy Mate   Chapter 16 Something Was Wrong

    Dominic's POVThe car ride was suffocating. Xena sat beside me, her gaze fixed on the window, her reflection a ghost in the glass. I could feel her presence like a weight pressing against my chest, heavy and inescapable. The silence between us was thick, filled with everything left unsaid.My mind wouldn't stop replaying the moment at the presentation. The whispers from the crowd. "They look so perfect together." "She would make a wonderful Luna." "Maybe she's the one." The words had burrowed under my skin like splinters, festering with every passing second. I had heard them, and something inside me had shifted. Not because I wanted Xena—I couldn't want her. I had Freya. I loved Freya. But the thought of members seeing us together, of them thinking she could replace my mate, made my stomach turn. Not with disgust. With something far more dangerous.Fear.I clenched my jaw so hard it ached. Xena had looked at me with confusion when I pulled away, hurt flickering in her eyes. I had pret

  • The Invisible Surrogacy Mate   Chapter 15 More Invisible Than Ever

    Xena's POVI stood in front of the mirror, barely recognizing the woman staring back at me.The maids had descended on me before dawn, a whirlwind of hands, fabric and commands. They had bathed me in water scented with roses, styled my hair into an elaborate arrangement of curls and pins, and wrapped me in a dress of soft ivory silk that clung to my curves and fell just above my knees. The fabric was so delicate it felt like water against my skin. A small circlet of silver rested on my brow, catching the morning light and glinting like a crown.I looked like a Luna but I felt like a fraud."You look beautiful, my lady," Elara said, adjusting the circlet. "The pack won't know what hit them."I tried to smile, but it didn't reach my eyes. "Thank you, Elara."She studied me for a moment, her expression softening. "You'll do wonderfully, my lady. Just breathe."I nodded, but my stomach was churning. My palms were slick with sweat, and I could feel my pulse racing with every passing second
