Semua Bab The Alpha's Surrogate Bride: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Lizzie's POV My heart was troubled by the festival memories, and I was unable to get rid of the loneliness and rejection that had overtaken me that day. It seemed as though Ana and Catherine had taken my place and left me alone.I was finding it harder and harder to get over the festivities as the days went by. The celebration, which was supposed to be an expression of our solidarity, had instead highlighted the conflicts and uncertainties among our pack members.How I had been ignored and marginalized while Ana and Catherine received all of the attention bothered me. It was as if I had vanished into thin air, a simple observer among the group that I had always thought of as my family.There was always a twinge of anger and resentment in me whenever I watched Catherine with Ana. The celebration had brought our differences to light, and I was unable to let go of the bitterness that had crept into my heart.I was aware that I needed to face these feelings and figure out how to go on. T

CATHERINE'S POV I marched back and forth in my bedroom, feeling anxious on the inside. My eyes drifted from Ana who was lying down and the room's window. Stanley's suggestion had completely upended my universe. Though the way to become the Luna of Blood Slashing Pack was exceedingly hazardous of perilous, the notion itself was alluring.There was a great deal of danger and unpredictability associated with Stanley's proposal to remove Philip and install a new Alpha. I could no longer overlook the threat it caused to the stability and cohesion of our pack. And though Philip and I had formerly been at odds, the Alpha demonstrated remarkable compassion and understanding, which left me balancing my personal goals against the well-being of our family.Philip was not the one with whom I had shared this secret. The decision to participate in such a dark scheme carried nearly intolerable weight. Even if my goal was to maintain my status as Luna, could I live with the fact that I had planned m

LIZZIE'S POV I patiently waited for days for the right moment to quietly face Catherine. It seems like the only opportunity I had to speak with her in private was when she would routinely take Ana outside for some fresh air. I couldn't take the chance of being heard or observed discussing with her the private information Mich had disclosed. I prepared for the ideal opportunity to get in touch with Catherine, and the days seemed to go on endlessly. Her regular ritual of escorting Ana outdoors had started to dominate my thoughts. This was the one occasion when I may be able to speak to someone privately without setting the family as well as other pack people on edge.I had mentally practiced this dispute countless times. My remarks had to make Catherine understand the seriousness of the issue and the full ramifications of her conduct. However, I had to exercise caution as I was aware that she had acquired a few advantages with Philip and the family. I felt a range of feelings as I ob

LIZZIE'S POV My shoulders were burdened with greater uncertainties with each passing day. I couldn't get rid of the idea that Catherine's choice would determine the future of our family. I had issued her with a directive that would upset the well-calibrated balance in our home.I couldn't stop mentally reliving our chat as I tried to figure out what Catherine would do next. Could she take the chance of disclosing her scheme and maybe severing the bonds that bound our family collectively, or would she obey my command and exit the house?I could feel the urgency in the air and my nerves were getting jangled. I couldn't help but feel gratified since I had such a strong card that may change the dynamics of our family. I was curious to watch how Catherine would handle this perilous journey, though, as well.I was established to play the whole high-stakes delaying scenario up to the very finish. Weeks passed, and all I could do was pray Catherine would make the correct choice, one that wou

LIZZIE'S POV The waiting had become an excruciating torture while I awaited Catherine's reaction to my ultimatum. After two weeks had passed, it appeared that Catherine seemed either too absorbed in her thoughts to respond or she was not bothered by my admission. My patience was starting to wear thin due to her lack of reaction. I had imagined all kinds of reactions from her throughout those two weeks. Would she voluntarily go from the house so that I wouldn't have to tell Philip about her scheme? Or would she decide to tell Philip the truth herself? Maybe she was thinking of methods to sneak a change of heart without me knowing. I was getting close to panicking from the excitement and the seemingly limitless options.I had intended to tip the scales with authority in our family with the knowledge I possessed about Catherine. Her covert scheme, which she had concocted with Stanley, was a serious risk that may sever our pack's confidence. She could never get away without it from me,
