All Chapters of Accidental Surrogate For The Cruel Alpha CEO: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Chapter 212DAMON "She's not having second thoughts," Kyle said with certainty. "Earlier today, when I saw her, she was nervous but excited. Scared but committed. She wants this, Damon. She wants you.""How can you be sure?" I asked desperately."Because I've been where she is," Kyle said quietly. "Stepping into a supernatural world I didn't fully understand, binding myself to someone despite being terrified of the intensity. If Isabella were going to run, she would have done it days ago. The fact that she's still here, still preparing, still moving forward—that tells you everything you need to know about her commitment."A knock on the door interrupted whatever I might have said next. "Come in," I called, trying to pull myself together.My mother entered, and the moment I saw her face—proud and tender and slightly teary—I felt some of my anxiety ease. Elena Rodriguez had seen dozens of Luna ceremonies in her lifetime, had presided over her own bonding to my father decades ago. If an

Chapter 214DAMONI pulled away, squaring my shoulders, trying to project confidence I didn't quite feel. "Alright. Let's do this."We made our way downstairs, where Marcus and several other pack enforcers were waiting. They fell into formation around me—a protective detail that was probably overkill but made me feel slightly better about potential security threats.As we walked through the house toward the forest path that led to the ceremonial clearing, I passed rooms full of flowers and decorations, caught glimpses of pack members in their formal attire, heard the excited chatter of people gathering for what everyone kept calling "the event of the decade."No pressure. Just my entire future riding on the next few hours going perfectly.We emerged from the house into the evening air, following the well-worn path through the forest. Other pack members were ahead of us, making their way to the clearing, their voices carrying through the trees. The atmosphere was festive, celebratory,

Chapter 216ISABELLAHe was just as terrified as I was. Just as overwhelmed by the magnitude of what we were about to do.Somehow, that knowledge steadied me. We were in this together. Both of us stepping into the unknown, both of us hoping desperately that we could make this work, both of us committed despite the fear.We reached the inner circle, where Damon's closest advisors and family members stood. I recognized Darius and Kyle, Marcus and several others whose names I was still learning. Elena stood to one side, tears already streaming down her face, looking at me with such pride and welcome that it made my own eyes sting.And then we were at the arch, standing before Damon with only a few feet separating us.This close, I could see every detail of his face. See the love in his eyes, see the hope, see the fear that mirrored my own. See the way he was drinking in the sight of me like I was water and he'd been dying of thirst."Hi," I whispered, because what else do you say to the

Chapter 218DARIUSI saw Damon collapse at the same moment Isabella went down, and for a heartbeat, I couldn't process what I was seeing. My best friend—a Prime Alpha, one of the strongest wolves I'd ever known—crumpling to the forest floor like his strings had been cut. Isabella falling with him, both of them hitting the ground in a tangle of ceremonial silk and formal attire.Then the howls started. Warning cries from every direction, and my training kicked in."Kyle, get down!" I shouted, even as I was moving toward Damon and Isabella. My wolf surged forward, pushing strength and speed into my limbs as I crossed the distance in seconds.Around me, the clearing had erupted into chaos. Pack members scrambling for defensive positions, security personnel trying to coordinate responses, visiting Alphas shouting orders to their own people. And through it all, I could hear the sounds of fighting from multiple directions—rogues attacking from at least four different points simultaneously.

Chapter 220DARIUS"Wolfsbane in the ceremonial wine," I confirmed, moving aside to give her room to work. "High concentration, based on how quickly they went down. They collapsed within minutes of drinking it."Elena's face went white. "The ceremonial wine. Oh God. Someone tampered with the ceremonial wine." She pressed her glowing hands to Damon's chest, then to Isabella's, her expression growing more grim with each passing second. "It's deep in their systems. This isn't just wolfsbane—there's something else. Something I don't recognize. A compound I've never encountered before.""Can you purge it?" I asked urgently."I can try," Elena said, sweat already beading on her forehead from the effort of using her abilities. "But this is going to take time. Maybe an hour, maybe more. And they need to stay still, stay calm. I can't work on them effectively if they're being jostled or if I'm worried about rogues attacking mid-healing.""Then we hold this position," I said firmly. "For as lon
