Semua Bab Surrogate to the Blood Alpha: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Rain’s POVI watched the text I’d gotten from my mate and quickly texted her back, letting her know that I supported whatever she felt she needed to do to trust me again. No, I didn’t like that my mate was questioning her bodyguards, but I understood that for us to rebuild trust and have a future relationship, she needed confirmation that I was telling the truth.Still fucking sucked though!“Is that your mate?” Elijah asked impatiently, standing behind me and tapping his foot, waiting until I was done with my phone. He looked pissed and considering the report we’d just gotten, I couldn’t blame him. I just happened to prioritize my mate above this shit…“She’s asking the enforcers about my relationship with Katie,” I replied, ignoring his tone.“You worried about what they’ll tell her?” He asked, and my wolf didn’t like what he impli

Rain’s POV“What do we know?” I asked when I walked into the war room, filled with the alphas who were still fighting for me. Or at least they were royalist and loyal enough to the crown that they didn’t jump ship when I took over. And they didn’t have much love for the late king, so it's a win-win all around.Did they like me?Definitely not!But I didn’t care, as I didn’t need to be liked to be a fair king. I just needed to be just and rule the way my father had taught me. I wasn’t sure I was going to be as good a king as he’d been – I was literally too damaged for that. But I wanted to honor the things he taught me and rule the way he did...“The rebel forces have gathered near the Crimson Peak and seem to be waiting for more troops to arrive,” Alpha Oliver said, gesturing to a huge screen on the wall. “They’ve set up camp there, but for

Selena’s POVKing Rain is here!I blinked at the text from Xavier again, wondering what the hell my new beta was going on about.“Rain is here?!” I read out loud, wondering if it would make more sense then. Clyde and Stella, knowing I needed help with ALS, both snapped their heads up.“What?” Stella snapped, puzzled, while Clyde looked like he wanted to sink into the floor. The shy and timid omega turned out to be an amazing beta secretary, as he had a serious nose for organizing and was helping me get all the pack’s affairs in order.His mate and my new beta had jumped on his duties and began organizing things around the pack, taking note of things that needed to be done and making plans with the enforcers to get them more structured. So all in all, I’d totally won the lottery in the Beta department.“Rain is here,” I echoed again, frowning as I looked up at my two helpers. “Xavier just texted me. He says that Rain

Selena’s POVHe actually took me on a picnic!“You--- did this?” I asked, my voice more surprised than I meant it to be. I hate to say it, but I was genuinely stunned by the sight of a blanket, an already half-unpacked basket with containers and fresh fruit, and two bottles of sparkling juice nestled in the grass.“I had help,” Rain confessed, his fingers still intertwined with mine as he walked me to the blanket, his steps slow and deliberate to match mine, much slower pace. “Your bodyguards will clearly do anything for you. If you hadn’t been mine, I would be jealous.”So the cocky, arrogant bastard that was my mate was still in there somewhere, I see, I snickered to myself, shaking my head. But then again, if he wasn’t, then he wouldn’t be Rain.Still…As much as some parts of him remained the same, I was happy about the parts he was trying to improve. I knew it couldn’t be easy for him, seeing he was an

Selena’s POV“What do you mean?” he asked, cocking his head to the side the way he always did when there was something he didn’t understand. Which wasn’t all that often, so it was sort of comical to see…At least it offered a small reprieve for what I had to tell him next.“You know that my father lost his mate – my mother – right?” I asked, and he nodded, as this was common knowledge in werewolf circles. I took a deep breath, finally revealing the secret that I’d been carrying for all this time – solely and so utterly alone: “What most people don’t know is that he murdered my mother.”“And he did it right in front of me!”I’d never said it out loud before. And to be honest, I didn’t expect it to feel so--- heavy! As if I were being pressured from the inside out, my heart was being crushed. I somehow had alway
