SURROGATE MOTHER TO THE ALPHA PUP のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 139

'Listen to me very carefully, because Marcus and his men are not going to give up easily,' Lyra whispered urgently, keeping low in the fern-filled ravine as the distant sound of crunching boots echoed through the trees above us.I looked at her, still trying to process the shocking resemblance to Queen Elena. The same sharp jawline, the same fierce amber eyes, and the same silver pendant resting against her collarbone. 'You said Elena was your great-grandmother? How is that even possible if the royal bloodline was trapped in the vault for five hundred years?'Lyra let out a quick, dry breath, shaking her head. 'Because not everyone in our family was locked away. A branch of the bloodline escaped before the seals were ever completed. My family has spent generations living in the shadows, watching the High Council, and waiting for the exact moment Alistair's anchor would weaken.'Zephyr crossed his arms, his golden alpha eyes narrowing as he assessed Lyra with cautious scrutiny. 'If you

Veronica's POV"Mama Veronica, do not let them take Papa again," his little voice says against my neck and his small arms are wrapped so tight around me that I can feel his heart beating fast like a tiny drum.Zephyr's son, the little heir I was supposed to be just a surrogate mother for on paper, is now holding me like I am his real mother and I am holding him back like I have known him all his life, even though we just broke the council's nexus and the whole chamber is still full of golden dust and broken swords.Zephyr stands right behind us, one big hand on my back and one big hand on his son's head, his golden eyes are still blazing with that alpha fire from when he smashed the blue light cage, but his hands are gentle, so gentle."He is calling you Mama," Zephyr whispers to me and his voice cracks a little, like this ruthless and uncaring alpha that everyone fears in all of America is about to cry, "he has never called anyone Mama before, not since his real mother left."I feel

Veronica's POVLeo is still asleep on my lap and Mira is curled against my side with her little amber eyes finally closed and the other four children are scattered around us on the grass in the sunlit courtyard, and the sky above us is dark now but not purple dark, real dark with real stars that no one in the capital has seen clearly for five hundred years because of Alistair's vault and the council's siphon.Zephyr sits behind me with his back against the marble pillar and his big arms around me and Leo and Mira at the same time, his greatsword is on the ground beside him still glowing faint gold from when we broke the altar and the backup crystal, and his golden eyes watch the stars like he has never seen them before."We should take them inside, little wolf, the night air is getting cold," he whispers to me softly so he does not wake the children, but his voice is still that alpha voice that makes my heart beat fast even when I am tired.I shake my head a little and I hold Mira tig

Veronica's POVThe wagon stops at the border of red moon territory and the air suddenly feels colder and heavier even though the sky above us is still blue from when we broke the capital heart and scattered the golden dust, and Leo is asleep again on my lap with his little golden eyes closed and Mira is holding tight to my dress with her amber eyes wide and scared because she can feel the second heart too even from here.Zephyr gets off his horse and his golden eyes are blazing with that ruthless alpha fire that makes him the most feared alpha in all of America, but his hands are gentle when he reaches into the wagon and lifts Leo and Mira out, one in each arm, and the other four children climb out behind me and hold onto my legs and Richard's and Lyra's hands.In front of us across the pine trees we see the red moon banner, red crescent on black, flying over the council hall where I signed my divorce papers, where Trent alpha of red moon pack told me he did not care about me anymore

*****Leo climbs on the bed first and shouts, "Mama Veronica, Mama, wake up, the sun is blue-gold today, look!"I open my eyes and I am still in Zephyr's arms and Mira is already on my chest and the other four are pushing at the door, and I laugh, "Good morning, my little prince, did you sleep well under real stars again."Mira says, "Mama, Leo snored, he snored like Papa's wolf, I could not sleep."Zephyr growls playfully and says, "I do not snore, little Mira, alpha kings do not snore, we breathe royal air."Leo giggles and says, "Papa, you do snore, Mama said so yesterday, she said you snore like a big bear after breaking seven hearts."I hit Zephyr's chest lightly and say, "Do not teach them to lie, you do snore, my ruthless and uncaring High King, but I love your snore now."Uncle Richard knocks and opens door and says, "High Queen, High King, your six children are supposed to be in lessons with Lyra, not jumping on your bed."Lyra peeks behind him and says, "Let them jump, Richa
