Semua Bab CAPTURED AS THE ALPHA’S SURROGATE: Bab 171 - Bab 180

We walked back from the forest to the warehouse where I was being kept. Lex's body was discarded in the side, near a hundred-year-old tree where he could be found by his men. It would be chaotic for the pack to deal with their Alpha's death but something good would come out from it all."So," I stopped Raymond just near his jet that was going to take him back to his pack. The silent ten-minute walk allowed me to think about what I wanted. "I don't want to go back. I'm doing fine here and with Lex dead, I don't see any problem anymore with staying here. This is now my chance to fully look for Renee." I began, breaking my silence and speaking with Raymond.We stood in front of each other, our eyes levelled. "Are you fucking kidding me?" He snapped as soon as I finished talking.My mouth dropped in surprise. "What?""You're going to get inside and you're coming with me, regardless of everything. You can get all confident and courageous once we land but if you don't get on the plane, I'll

"It's called infatuation-" I swallowed hard and forbade myself from flinching as his finger reached underneath my thong, sliding into the heat that was already pulsing for him. My senses reeled, pulling me under, away from everything real. I was somewhere else entirely. Warmth flooded through me and my thoughts scattered at that single contact.One touch.Only one and I was gone."Meh. I think you're still fucking craving me or you wouldn't be this soaked after the conversation we had." He tipped my head back, locking me in place while his large, practiced fingers worked me open. "Does it make you horny when I get possessive about you? Is that what this all was about?"As much as I tried to control myself, I couldn't. I was a mess, dripping, aching. "No." I choked out before slamming my lips shut and forcing any sounds of pleasure back down my throat.I couldn't let this happen, I couldn't let Raymond feel that I still wanted him. Neither of us were ever going to move on."I'm just we

I ran the brush down my now tinted dirt blond hair, carefully untangling the knots that had build up throughout the past two days. My hair reeked of wet dirt and sweat. I had to take a shower but my limbs were unwilling to step inside cold water. Exhaustion and sleep covered my eyes. The bags underneath my eyes were getting thicker and darker by every minute passing by.I had already opened every drawer and closet in the room my mother had prepared for me. My old clothes still hung there, faintly carrying the perfume I used to wear every day. A few items sat in the wrong places, as if someone had moved them and then carefully put them back. None of it mattered as much as the quiet that pressed in from every corner.The loneliness hit harder than the pain ever had. Memories of Mackline and everything rose uninvited, soft, sharp, and unwanted.My old books still lined the shelf against the brown wall. Jewelry and small trinkets rested in the dressing-table drawers beside the half-empty

My face was red, I was red when I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the countless hickey's Raymond had left over my body. They were over my neck, my breasts, my shoulders, my collarbone-everywhere anyone could possibly see.I tried covering some of them up with the makeup inside the dresser drawers but it didn't help. The hickey's were too dark and fresh to be covered so instead, I wore a turtle neck sweater and hoped no one would see it.All this for nothing...My lips lined straight as I grabbed my phone off the dresser and walked out of the room. A few voices reached up to my ears and I went down the spiral staircase before arriving at the kitchen where I found Raymond, all freshened up and munching on food.His face was bright with life while I was dying with what he had done to me. He had left me whilst I was almost going to finish. I was never going to forgive him for that and the hickey's."Would you like something for breakfast, Aurora?" My mother asked me, holding an e

"A lot of things have changed, Aurora. It's a whole new life here." Grace said, walking along with me. We were in the garden at the back of her house and the garden overlooked the town and hills. It was a beautiful sight, reminding me of the time everything was well between me and Raymond."That's amazing to hear." I walked barefoot and the grass brushed against my toes and my heels. It was cold but I wanted to enjoy before the sun left and it would get dark.From a distance, I could hear voices, a dozen of them, people talking and giggling, some of them arguing and children jumping around. It was a whole new life, just as Grace said."There were a lot of changes made over the year. We couldn't have been any more happier with how we live now. Alpha Raymond has done a great job", She tucked her hands inside her jacket and her cheeks turned red as she smiled. Something glimmered in her eyes, happiness."I picked up a few shifts at the hospital's pack , I do the diligence in the pack and
