Semua Bab ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE : Bab 31 - Bab 40

CATRIONA I stared at Sandra, wide-eyed, stunned by what she'd just said. And then— I burst out laughing. "Why are you laughing?" she asked, a soft chuckle escaping her lips. “Because, Sandra,” I said, still giggling, “what you just said is hilarious. Jayden never told me that everyone in this house could communicate through their minds. And even if that’s true, he would’ve replied to me—or at least given me a sign! But he didn’t. He would’ve—” I stopped rambling when I noticed the serious look on her face. “Catriona,” she said gently, “Alpha didn’t tell you everything about us.” My smile faded. “Wait... are you saying it’s true?” She nodded solemnly. “Does that mean... everyone heard what I said? Everything I was babbling?” She nodded again. “Like, everything?” I asked in a whisper. Another nod. I groaned, mortified. My face heated with shame. “Sandraaa,” I muttered, “if Jayden didn’t say anything on purpose, you could’ve at least warned me! Now how am I supposed to face

JAYDEN I suddenly jerked my hands away from Catriona's. The vision I’d just had—it felt too real. If that was the future, then I couldn’t take her with me. I wasn’t going to risk it. “But what if it wasn’t real?” I muttered to myself. “What if it was just... in my head?” I glanced at her. The hurt in her eyes made my chest tighten, but I didn’t have time to explain or comfort her. She walked past me without a word and slid into the back seat of the car. I took a long heavy breath and followed. “I’m not staying behind, if that’s what you’re going to say,” she said flatly, staring out the window. “Don’t worry, I won’t give you a hard time. I’ll be a good girl.” I ran a hand through my hair and stared at her for a moment, conflicted. Then I exhaled, gave a snort, and got in. “Alright, my love. If you're uncomfortable staying here, I’ll take you with me.” She gave me a small smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “Do you have a passport?” I asked. “Yes.” Her voice was subdued. “Gi

GABRIEL Ever since I met my mate—my pumpkin—I haven’t been the same. Every day I’ve fought the urge to leap onto her, to kiss her senseless, to worship every inch of her flawless body. These past few days, I’ve stayed away from the women I used to use like disposable toys—bitches I had no emotional connection with. It’s been torture, but I haven’t touched a single one of them. The only woman I want in my bed now and forever is the one sitting beside me. My mate. I used to believe I was the only Alpha the Moon Goddess forgot—destined to walk this world without a fated mate. But I was wrong. So painfully, gratefully wrong. I’ve been dying every second to feel her lips on mine. And now that I’ve tasted her... it feels like I left my self-control back in Vancouver. I kissed her without her consent—and now I’ll have to face the fallout. Jayden won’t take it lightly. But I’m ready. She tore herself away from me, breaking the kiss I’d been craving for so long. I hated it. Every cell

CATRIONA I've been staying in this strange room for what feels like forever. The first thing I remember was being taken—carried off by something I never got a clear look at—as it flew me deeper into the woods. After what seemed like hours, I woke up here. Every day, two women with two heads each would come in to check on me without saying a word. I was terrified, completely hopeless, thinking this might be the end for me. But… Gabriel showed up. And not in a way I expected. Honestly, he was the last person I thought would come for me—and yet, he's the one who did. And for that, I'm grateful. I won’t lie... it feels good to be near him. “Please don’t leave me here alone,” I whispered. “I’m not going anywhere without you, pumpkin,” he replied, easing my fears. The way he held me made me feel safe, but I pulled back slightly and looked up into his eyes, filled with concern. “Pumpkin, are you okay? Are you hurt?” he asked. “I’m fine. Just scared. I don’t know what’s happening… Why

CATRIONA "Jesus Christ, Jayden, you're alive!" “Are you okay?” “Yes, baby. I’m alive—and okay. And it’s because of you. You brought me back,” he said, sending a thrill through me. I launched into his arms, wrapping him in a tight hug. “Thank you for coming back. I thought I’d lost you,” I said, my voice cracking. He hugged me back, just as tightly. But as I held him, I noticed something was off. His body felt different—heavier, weaker. Not like the Jayden I knew. Was it the virus they mentioned? Or maybe the time he spent away from his body? I pulled back slightly, scanning him from head to toe. He looked... changed. Physically changed. “Jayden, are you sure you’re okay?” I asked again, unable to hide the concern in my voice. “I’m fine, my love.” I stood up and reached out a hand to help him, and he accepted it without hesitation. But as he rose, his weight nearly pulled me back down. He was heavy. Weak. Once on his feet, he turned to the still-stunned woman in the room. “
