All Chapters of The Alpha King's Accidental Surrogate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Selene’s POV“I told you I have someone with me,” I snapped back, louder this time. “And he’s not very nice.”The man laughed softly and brought his arm forward, revealing a knife.He lifted it high into the air. “We’re all human here. No monsters. No magic. Just men.”I stepped back, heart pounding.“You women,” he went on, “you think you can keep rejecting us? Walk around like you’re so high and mighty? That’s evil. And I’ll make sure that we men really do rule the world and put you all in your place.”The other men laughed and shouted encouragement, enjoying the sight of my isolation and apparent vulnerability. They did not care not one bit as I stood by myself. I clutched at the rounding within my womb and straightened to my full height. “You do not wish to do this.”“Yes, I do.” He stepped closer. I was scared for my life. This was where I was going to die. This was the end. My legs felt like butter as my mouth dried out.Trying to be brave was a waste, as I didn’t feel like t

Selene’s povI sat there in the car not making a sound. My fingers were interlocked tightly between my thighs. The car was quiet, only the muffled sound of the engine and tires against the road filled my ears. I looked at Dante sitting comfortably beside me with a hand on the steering and one on the door as it propped his head up.I wondered what he was thinking about.His knuckles were white as he gripped onto the steering like it owed him money.The focus in his eyes were dangerous. I tried to say something but I didn’t know what to say.Maybe thank him. Maybe say sorry. Maybe ask if he was okay.But I didn’t. I didn’t know what to say.I would hate to piss him off even more. It wasn’t my fault at the park but I was careful not to get him in a bad mood.He had almost lost control. He had almost hurt someone badly. And it was all because of me.My chest was tight. I looked out of the window as I counted the trees we passed. I needed to do something that would distract me from my n

Sara’s povI had to find Selene.I needed answers.I got to her room in the Packhouse and knocked on the door.There was a silence. And then the door moved slowly open.“Sara,” she said, surprised. “It’s late.”“Yes I know;” I said. “I wanted to see you. Can I come in?”She swung the door open wider. “Come in.”I nodded and walked in as I looked around her room and noticed the contrast between her bright room and my dark one.I smiled. “So… How have things been? At the human city?”She frowned at me. “How did you know I was there?”I looked at her calmly. “I just… know things sometimes. You forget I’m a witch.”She sighed and nodded. “Of course.”I smiled, “I didn’t mean to scare you. I only wanted to know how your day went.”She wouldn’t look up at me. “It wasn’t easy.”“Tell me,” I said. “What happened?”“I was sitting at the park… just watching the kids play. It was quiet, peaceful.”I nodded. “Then a man came,” she said. “He was acting out in some way and he tried to talk to me

Sara’s povI walked slowly back to the room after speaking with Dante. My thoughts were still running. What I had told Dante was something only his ears needed to hear. Anyone else would freak out and that could be dangerous for us. And for the kingdom. We needed only the people we trusted to know about this.Now, I needed to check on Selene. I wondered if she was taking this the right way or if she was being hurt by what was going on.Either way, I would go to her and make sure she wasn’t overwhelmed by what was going on.I got to her door and opened it as I saw her pacing around.She had her hands around her waist as she moved around like a woman waiting to be rejected.“You should relax more, you know,” I noted to her. “The pacing isn’t going to make things any better. You should relax some more. Things like this don't show up and clear out in a day.”“Sara,” she said quickly, walking toward me. “What did he say? How did he take it? Is he angry?”She had ignored my words and was m

Selene’s povI stared at the book before me but if I was being honest, it didn’t make any sense to me.All I could see were letters that mixed together but that was it. It didn’t make any sense to me. My thoughts were too loud. Maybe louder than they should actually be.All I could think about was what Sara had told me… about the Thanes.A powerful bloodline. A line of Alphas. Wolves that had existed before time. Strong, feared, respected.And now she was saying I was one of them?I didn’t feel powerful. I didn’t feel strong.I wasn’t… them. I was human. Just a human female who’d been convenient for bearing a child. Would the Thanes even take someone like me? I doubted that. They would want someone like Dante. Even Anna would be a perfect fit with all her rough edges.I closed the book and sat it in my lap. My fingers skimmed over the edges of the pages as I released a long sigh then slowly surveyed across the room. It was quiet, too quiet. I wanted peace but this silence here was
