Semua Bab THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S HUMAN SURROGATE : Bab 81 - Bab 90

CHAPTER 81: GETTING THINGS DONE FOR THE EVENT Venus:Conrad stood beside me, waiting to be given instructions. I glanced up at him. “Make sure the Elders from the Royal Archives receive priority seating. Venus is their grandchild, even though they don't know it yet,” I added.Conrad nodded. “They’ll be arriving via air escort to Silver Hill, then we’ll escort them personally to the manor.”“Good.” I was pleased. Conrad was someone I could only trust in to deliver. And he knows everything had to be perfect.“I’ll be heading to Willowmist in a few hours. The jewelers there are finalizing the moonstone ring,” I said softly, almost to myself. “I’ve waited years to place a ring on my mate’s finger.”Conrad gave a low whistle. “You’re giving her the Nightstone Ring?”“Yes I am. It belonged to my grandmother,” I confirmed. “Forged in fire and bathed in moonlight. I’ve kept it hidden for years. It's time to slip it on her finger.”He clapped his hands behind his back. “She’ll be speechless.

CHAPTER 83: OUR FIRST NIGHT AS MATESVENUS:Celeste looked just like me.“Celeste,” Maxine said softly, guiding her toward me. “Your sister.”Celeste moved closer and threw her arms around me. “I thought I was alone,” she whispered. “I thought I’d never find you.”I held her tightly, overwhelmed by the pieces of my life finally coming together. “I didn’t know about you… until now.”I made her sit next to me as the ceremony continued well into the night.Guests mingled and feasted. Maxine had prepared quite a banquet for his special guests. The courtyard now lit with thousands of glowing lanterns. Gifts were presented, blessings offered. Even the Alpha King lingered longer than expected, watching the festivities with approval.But eventually, he called Maxine and asked who I was. I could hear him because he sat close to us. Maxine told him I was his mate. From the look on his face, I knew he wasn't satisfied with the response but he let it slide.The event was almost coming to an end w

CHAPTER: LETTING GO OF THE PASTMAXINE’S POV:I woke at the first sign of dawn, feeling blissful after such a wonderful night with my newly wedded mate. Venus lay curled beside me, peaceful, her breathing soft and steady. I brushed a kiss against her hairline and slipped out of bed quietly, careful not to wake her. As I pulled on a black shirt and fastened the buttons, my thoughts turned to someone I had been avoiding for a while now.Olivia.Conrad had sent word last night that she’d been treated at the clinic after injuring herself. I’d heard the details in passing—something about glass, blood, and tears. She broke a beer bottle and with tears in her eyes, she had stabbed herself when she saw Venus being crowned Luna.But I hadn’t gone to see her. Not because I didn’t care. But because I knew she wanted to ruin the moment for me and I wasn't going to let her.But it was time we set the record straight.I made my way to the pack clinic, moving with confident strides. A few wolves w

CHAPTER 87: I'VE NEVER FLOWN BEFORE VENUS' POV:The sunlight spilled through the curtains, warm and golden, as I stood before the mirror trying to figure out what in the world one wears to Paris. Not just Paris—but Paris with Maxine. I had three options laid out on the bed and still couldn’t decide.“Red,” came his voice from behind me.I turned, catching his reflection in the mirror as he leaned on the doorframe, arms crossed over his chest, his white dress shirt rolled up at the sleeves. That smirk—God help me—could melt glaciers.“You think red?” I asked, holding up the dress.He walked toward me, reached for the gown and held it against me with a knowing nod. “Absolutely. Paris is about passion, fire... romance. This one screams all three. And also—” he paused, dragging his eyes down my body slowly “—you’ll look ravishing in it.”I flushed, fidgeting with my hair. “Well, you don’t look too bad yourself.”He laughed, pulling me into a gentle hug. “Only ‘not too bad?’ That hurts.”

CHAPTER 89: A BLISSFUL SHOWER VENUS:As I walked into his embrace, he wrapped his arms around me for a moment.“We're a couple. There's nothing to hide between us,” he said as he stared me in the eyes. “Also, I brought you here, away from pack activities so we can spend intimate moments together. And that intimate moment starts right now.”I nodded and allowed him to take off my clothes. “You are beautiful, Venus. You have the body of a goddess. It's smooth and glows.”I looked down, unable to meet his gaze. “Look at me,” he said, lifting my chin so I could look at him. “Are you shy?”I shook my head and muttered, “No.”He brushed a kiss across my lips, took my hand and led me to the bathroom. Maxine and I stepped into the bathroom together. The shower enclosure was wide, encased in clear glass, and the overhead rain showerhead gave the illusion of standing beneath a warm waterfall. The bathroom smelled of luxury and lavender — like something out of a dream. My cheeks were alread
