All Chapters of THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

CHAPTER 31: I TAKE ORDERS FROM THE ALPHA NOT YOUVENUS:Jenna and I sat on some stools in the common room, and started to talk. I was just trying to make a new friend since Mira, the only person I had considered a friend in this pack, betrayed me.Clara, the middle aged woman who had shown me to my new room earlier, came back and told me I was wanted at Olivia's room.Clara was Gamma's mate and oversaw everything that has to do with the maids."Venus," she said curtly, arms folded over her chest. "You're wanted upstairs. In Olivia's room."Of course.I knew this was coming. Olivia wouldn’t wait long. Not with the power she suddenly had and the spotlight she had stolen. I had been dethroned and exiled from the Alpha's mansion. And Olivia had stepped right into my old shoes. Now she felt it was time to crush me under her heel.Still, I forced a nod. "Okay. Thank you, ma’am."Jenna looked up from where she sat, her brow creased with concern. "You okay?"I gave her a tired smile, and nod

CHAPTER 33: THE FLASH DRIVE VENUS:I woke up at 4:am the following morning as Clara had instructed and headed to the alpha mansion. My night had been filled with nightmares of Maxine trying to kill me. And I woke up feeling totally exhausted. Yet I had to clean the entire two storey mansion.I worked all day, cleaning the ceilings and the rails, scrubbing the marble floors, arranging the books in the library according to their sizes and so many other chores that drained me of my strength. Yet no one offered me a morsel of bread.At the end of the day, I went to bed hungry.Today was my second day scrubbing floors and polishing stair rails without a single morsel of food.My stomach growled again, and it was louder this time. It was a painful reminder that I hadn't eaten in almost two days. “Ma, please can I have something to eat,” I had said to Clara around noon. But she just waved me off.“No one can give you food unless Alpha Maxine approves it, and since he had gone on a trip, I

CHAPTER 35: THAT'S WHAT YOU DESERVE MAXINE:The second I let go of Venus, watching her fall to the floor coughing and clutching her throat, something twisted in my chest. I didn't feel guilty for choking her but my wolf was restless, growling in my head. No one has ever stood up to me the way Venus has done. That girl has got fire. I was Alpha yet she snapped at me like I was a nobody. I had to do what needed to be done to maintain order.But the look in her eyes...Damn it."You have thirty minutes," I told her, my voice as sharp as it could get, and devoid of emotion. "Bring the flash drive to my office or you won't like what happens next."Her gaze narrowed, but she didn’t argue. I slammed the door behind me before I could second-guess myself.By the time I got to my office, I was pacing like a caged beast. My wolf was restless. Agitated. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her face. Her eyes. Her defiance. The way she dared to challenge me, even when she was at her weakest. Most

CHAPTER 37: HOPING AGAINST HOPE VENUS:Jenna rested her elbows on her knees as I gazed into her eyes expectantly. "Well, for starters, no female in this pack can give the Alpha an heir.”“Really? Why?”“The alpha executed a certain witch here in this pack many years ago and she cursed the alpha before she took her last breath.”I stared at her, dumbfounded. “Why are you telling me that? Do you want to get into trouble? The last time Mira revealed a secret to me, she was flogged in public like a criminal. I still shiver when I remember how she was tied to pole while the whip tore through her skin.”“This isn't a secret. Everyone in this pack knows about it,” she responded nonchalantly.“Are you sure?” I didn't want Jenna going through what Mira went through for my sake. It made me feel guilty for days.“I'm sure,” she responded with a nod.“Wow! No wonder he had to choose a human. But he could have gotten another she-wolf from another pack. Probably an Alpha's daughter.”“Let's just s

CHAPTER 39: DO YOU WANT TO LIVE?VENUS:The next morning, I woke up at 4:am as expected and headed to the mansion. In addition to cleaning the mansion, I still had to be at Olivia's beck and call.By the time I scrubbed the last corner of the massive hallway, the sun was already dipping low in the sky. My arms ached, my knees were sore, and I could barely feel my fingers. My stomach hadn’t stopped growling since morning, but not a single soul had bothered to offer me even a glass of water.Still, I pressed on.The last thing I needed was for Olivia to come storming in, screeching about a missed spot on a windowpane or a speck of dust on her favorite chair. She had spent the whole morning barking orders at me like I was a dog. I had washed her clothes, arranged her shoes, cleaned her room twice, and even reorganized her makeup drawer because she "didn't like how the blush was staring at her."By 4:00 PM, after twelve hours of hard labour, I was ready to collapse.I heaved a sigh and
