All Chapters of Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Chapter 172KYLE"This is you and me," Darius interrupted, sitting up so we were face to face, chest to chest. "Forget about Evelyn. Forget about your family. Right now, in this moment, you're not anyone's servant. You're my mate, in my bed, about to let me make love to you properly."Make love. Not fuck, not screw, not any of the crude terms that reduced what was happening to just physical release. Make love. Like this meant something. Like I meant something.I should have said no. Should have climbed off him, gathered what remained of my dignity and my clothes, and insisted we maintain professional boundaries. Should have remembered all the reasons this was a terrible idea.Instead, I leaned in and kissed him.He made a sound low in his throat—triumph and desire and relief all mixed together—and kissed me back with enough intensity to steal what little breath I had left. His hands were everywhere, mapping every inch of exposed skin, sliding under my shirt to touch and tease and clai

Chapter 174DARIUS"It's okay," he said, though his voice was tight with overstimulation. "It's okay, just—just don't stop."So I didn't stop.I kept moving in those small, careful circles, watching his face for any sign that it was too much, that I needed to stop regardless of what he said. What I saw instead was arousal building again despite the tears starting to leak from the corners of his eyes, despite the way his body trembled with exhaustion.He was crying, but he was also hard again. Or still hard—I wasn't entirely sure anymore. His cock was trapped between our bodies, leaking steadily, leaving sticky trails across both our stomachs. Every small movement I made seemed to push him closer to another edge he shouldn't have been able to reach."That's it," I encouraged, unable to stop the words from spilling out. "Let go for me again. Show me how good I make you feel. Show me what a perfect mate you are."The tears were flowing freely now, snot running from his nose as the overwh

Chapter 176DARIUS" "This is what happens with fated mates sometimes. Especially during the first few matings, when the bond is new and trying to establish itself. I've heard of it happening, but I didn't think—I didn't expect it to be this intense.""Fated mates," Kyle repeated, the words coming out flat. "You keep saying that. Keep acting like that's what we are.""Because it is what we are," I said simply. "You scented me at the Met Gala. You couldn't ignore it, couldn't pretend I was anyone else. That's not something that happens with casual attraction, Kyle. That's the mate bond."He was quiet for a long moment, his breathing slowly evening out as he processed that information. I could feel the tension in his body, could sense the war happening inside him between what he wanted and what he thought was possible."This doesn't change anything," he finally said, but his voice lacked conviction. "Even if we are—even if that's true, it doesn't change the situation. Your engagement. M

Chapter 178DAMON"I won't let them," Darius said with quiet determination. "I've spent my entire adult life playing by other people's rules, doing what was expected of me, putting pack politics ahead of my own happiness. Not anymore. Not with Kyle. He's mine, and I'm going to figure out how to keep him regardless of what obstacles his family throws in our way.""Good," I said. "Because he deserves someone who'll fight for him. From what I've seen, that kid has been fighting alone for way too long.""He has," Darius agreed. "But he's not alone anymore. He's got me. And by extension, he's got you and the rest of our circle. We take care of our own."We spoke for a few more minutes about logistics—when Darius planned to return to actual work, what Kyle's role would officially entail beyond the obvious personal assistance, how to handle the increasing tension with Evelyn as she grew more possessive of her fiancé's time and attention. Then Darius had to go, claiming he heard stirring from

Chapter 180ISABELLAI stared at my laptop screen, my heart pounding as I scrolled through yet another article about werewolf mating practices. The house was quiet—too quiet—with the boys at their after-school programs and Damon off handling pack business. Elena had taken the opportunity to visit some friends in the city, leaving me alone with my research and my increasingly complicated thoughts.Research. That's what I'd been telling myself I was doing for the past three days. Ever since I'd decided to go forward with the Luna ceremony, I'd been trying to educate myself about what exactly I was agreeing to. What it meant to be mated to a werewolf. What the bond would entail. What changes I should expect in our relationship once the ceremony was complete.My first attempts at research had been... less than helpful. I'd stumbled across some truly horrifying folklore about human sacrifices and virgin offerings that had sent me into a minor panic attack before Damon had found me and expl
