All Chapters of CAPTURED AS THE ALPHA’S SURROGATE: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

The hallway was empty.It always was. This wing of the house had been chosen for a reason, far from the main pack grounds, far from the curious eyes and whispered condolences and the smell of pity that clung to everyone who came near me. Raymond had arranged it. A quiet place. Somewhere I could heal or fall apart without an audience.No omegas hurried past with laundry baskets. No warriors patrolled these corridors. No pack members lingered in doorways, hoping to catch a glimpse of the tragic luna who had lost her child. The silence was absolute, broken only by the soft echo of my boots against the stone floor and Mackline's quieter footsteps behind me.I didn't look back at her. I didn't need to. I could feel her presence like a second heartbeat, steady and stubborn and refusing to be dismissed.She was hurt. I knew that. I had seen it in her eyes when I pulled away, when I told her she would distract me, when I walked out without waiting for her response. But I couldn't afford to ca

AURORA’S POVThere was no peace.Not even in the human world. I had no peace and I no longer wanted it.I think I had cried for exactly six months before wiping my own tears and setting my focus on something else, my revenge.I lived among humans now. Small apartment in a forgotten city, paid for in cash under false names. I worked odd jobs when I needed money, bartender, night-shift cleaner, anything that kept me invisible. At night I shifted and ran the outskirts of territory lines as a rogue, careful never to linger long enough for a pack to claim me or drive me out. I avoided Alpha Nigel’s lands completely. Mackline and Raymond would find me the moment I stepped foot near that pack, and I was not ready to face either of them. Not yet. Not while the people responsible for my child’s death still breathed.There wasn't a single day I hadn't thought about my unborn child that was viciously murdered by someone who had a grudge against me. I had mercy before but right now I didn't have

I remembered screaming for a full minute before the world went black and consciousness slipped away. When I woke, the first thing that hit me was the thick, cloying scent of death and blood, rotten, and so heavy it coated the back of my throat. I didn’t want to imagine where I was or who had taken me, yet an idea already formed in the back of my mind.Barely an hour before everything went dark, Alpha Nigel had warned me they were coming. I had ignored every red flag and continued with my life as if nothing could touch me.The Alpha of the Northern Stone Pack.Lex.He had me.I placed my hand underneath and pressed my palm against the cold, rough ground. My eyes opened wide, but I couldn't see anything. It was pitch-black and silent as a graveyard, the kind of silence that presses against your eardrums until you hear your own heartbeat like a drum.And my hands were tied.The ropes were coarse and unforgiving, digging into my wrists as I tried to break free. My hands were bound behind

AURORA'S USUAL WETDREAMS"Oh!" I sucked in a startled breath as he hauled me up onto the bed. His big hands shoved my thighs apart without ceremony, and before I could even process it he was already between them, mouth hot and hungry.Skin against skin.The first drag of his tongue over my clit sent a violent jolt straight through me. I cried out, hips jerking, fingers flying to his hair. He groaned against me like he’d been starving for this, the sound vibrating right into my core and making me squirm harder.Swirling violet and cerulean orbs flicked up at me from between my spread legs. Deep. Darkening. Locking on while he licked a long, filthy stripe up my slit and then sealed his mouth over me completely.Under that intense stare and the wet, relentless suction of his mouth, I felt incredibly alive.I was entranced, caught in the raw intensity of his gaze even as his tongue worked me open. The invisible force that drew us together tugged at my defenses, threatening to break down m

Raymond didn't probably hear me when I spoke that I wanted to finish Lex because he went on with walking phone pressed to his ear, voice low and clipped as he barked orders to someone on the other end. I kept pace beside him, but my mind stayed locked on Lex and the filthy words he had thrown at me earlier where he had wished to assault me if Raymond wasn't my mate. I felt disgusted to my core. He was with Henry but Raymond let him free and didn't kill him. He survived that time but now I had my eyes on him.The moon hung heavy in the night sky, casting its light all over the city. Utter, complete silence surrounded us. There was no one around us, not any cars passing by or strangers. The warehouse was miles away from the main city which I supposed would be the reason to why Lex had bought me here.So, I couldn't scream or run...“You said something a minute ago. What was it?”, Raymond ended the call and turned to me.I held his gaze longer than I should have with out replying.I want
