Semua Bab Surrogate to the Blood Alpha: Bab 111 - Bab 118

Selena’s POV“Why can’t I feel the mate bond?” I asked Rain, turning to face him. He stilled, but only for a few seconds, before he continued to caress my hair, helping me brush it out and dry it off.But that only made ice form in my stomach!Rain always had an answer for everything. Hell, sometimes I worried that he didn’t truly listen to me, because he replied before I’d even finished speaking. He never went quiet about anything. Hell, I couldn’t remember the last time he went quiet about anything.“Is there…?” I asked, forcing my voice to remain calm and not give away the pit I felt in my stomach. “Is there something wrong with me?”Because what other logical conclusion could there be?I was only part wolf after all. And even then, I was so human that I didn’t even have a wolf spirit. Even omegas had more wolf-like qualities than I.So it had to be me, right?I had to be the problem...“No!”

Selena POVMy fated mate--- was Rain’s twin brother?!How was that even possible?Coming to think of it, it probably wasn’t so very strange, because so many things made sense. Why I didn’t feel the mate-bond when we met again. Why I didn’t feel the mate-bond now…I was his brother’s fated mate!But I was also Rain’s mate?!His Second Chance?I’d heard stories about Second Chance Mates, but I’d never really given them much thought. I mean, my father had lost his mate, but he’d never gotten a second chance. But then again, maybe wolves who killed their mates didn’t get second chances…But it was the only thing that made sense. I was Rain’s Second Chance Mate. But I was also still Ryan’s mate, because we’d never really rejected each other – or accepted in this case?Shit!W

Selena's POVI sat on a rocking chair, feeding Azul, and tried not to let our talk fill too much of my mind. I just wanted to enjoy these first precious moments with my baby and not think about what had just happened. So when Rain opened his mouth, I got ahead of him.“Rain,” I sighed, annoyed and determined not to talk about it. “This is a lot to take in! And I just gave birth to our son. I---”“You know,” he cut me off, rising to his feet and walking over, crouching before me. “When I was in that pit, I remember feeling nothing at all.” He reached out and caressed his son’s cheeks as he fed. “Just cold to the very being of my soul. Even my wolf was quiet and dead in my mind. There was nothing---!” He grinded his teeth, finding the right words. “I was consumed by darkness, and I didn’t want to leave. I welcomed the cold.”“And the dark.”

8 years ago...Rain’s POV“Are there two of you?!”The bartender asked rather innocently, gesturing towards the other end of the bar. I looked up and through the dimly lit room, noticing a man with a similar build to mine sitting in the far corner. His head snapped up as if he’d overheard the bartender’s remark, which meant that the man was most definitely a werewolf.My wolf instantly stood to attention, sensing the very powerful alpha aura. Hell, I hadn’t felt someone that powerful since running into Victor…Elijah was instantly ready to be by my side, but with a discreet motion, signaled for him to remain where he was. Once I knew that my men were safe, I approached the wolf, who looked so much like me that it was almost uncanny.Well, except for our hair!I didn’t have time or money to go to a barber, so it had been Victor’s sister wh
