All Chapters of CAPTURED AS THE ALPHA’S SURROGATE: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"I want Henry to be thrown right now in the dungeon plus the healer", Raymond ordered the guards and gammas who were around. ., "I need to teach a Wolf what happens when he touches what belongs to me." He snarled as he walked out of the room and he didn't even slow down to wait for us. I changed into something dress quickly then walked with Mackline toward the dungeonIn less than a minute after we arrived in the dungeon, Mackline tucked me over to the side near a wall, about five feet away from the fuming Raymond.Henry was soon shoved into the center of the room by the four gammas. His eyes were already wide, darting frantically from Raymond’s thunderous expression to the silver chains bolted into the walls. Sweat beaded on his forehead despite the chill.“Raymond .. fuck .. .Alpha... talk to me,” Henry stammered, voice cracking as he tried to twist free. “What the hell is going on? What have I done wrong?. This is a mistake! I’ve been your beta for years. Loyal. You know that!”R

RAYMOND'S POVNow that I finished with Henry, my anger partially sated, but not done. I made my way to Aurora. She looked up at me with wide, shocked eyes.Shocked. But not afraid of what had just happened.That’s my strong little mouse, I thought with pride.The Moon had gotten it right. She had the fortitude necessary, the internal strength required to be an amazing Luna. Now, I was going to have to find a way to get her pregnant so quickly and see what to do with her later.But before I got to any of that, I still had business to attend. “I wanted to see Renee and the wolves who were involved in all this shit.”“Are those wolves who were guarding around here?” I asked her. She looked around the room, studying the many wolves. Before she could identify one, one named Samuel made his way through the wolves to stand in front of them. I could smell the sharp stench of fear coming off of him. He stuttered instantly, “I-It…was me.”I glared at him, hot fury consuming me once more. Alpha

After two hours of nonstop riding, we finally reached the headquarters.The council chamber was a cavernous circle of black stone, lit by floating witch-lights that cast no shadows. Twenty-one seats ringed the room, each carved with the insignia of a different founding pack. Most were filled. Alphas in formal robes, black, gray, deep crimson sat rigid in their chairs. Lunas sat next to them, their faces masks of composed dread.Raymond's seat was near the center, with the wolf's skull wrapped in thorns etched into its high back. He sat and I sat on his left side instantly.The moment my weight settled onto the cold stone, every eye in the room shifted to me. Some were curious, some hostile, but a few, the oldest Alphas, the ones with silver in their manes and scars crossing their throats looked at me like I was a ghost they hadn't expected to see.I kept my spine straight, my hands folded in my lap, and my mouth shut as my eyes swept the room for threats. My attention snagged on the ro

"Raymond," I blurted, terrified. I didn't know what either one of them would do if they allowed their wolves to take over. And I didn't know what kind of consequences would fall on Raymond should any harm or even a threat fall onto another Alpha. "He wasn't trying anything. He didn't mean it like that," I pleaded."Of course I meant it like that," Nigel denied with a wicked grin, like he enjoyed watching Raymond struggle with himself. "Look at her. She's beautiful. Any wolf would be lucky to have her. But she's stuck with you.""Nigel, not helping!" I snapped, ignoring that I was talking to another Alpha and glaring at him for all I was worth."Look at him, Aurora. Raymond has so much power he's damn near losing control right now. He's got way too much power for any one wolf to handle. It probably just makes you sick being near him. You don't need to be with a guy like that. You shouldn't be with a guy like that," Nigel pressed.And he was right. Waves of power rippled off Raymond. Liv

I woke up screaming and thrashing in bed.My body twisted in the sheets, arms flailing, legs kicking at nothing. The scream tore from my throat raw and I couldn't stop it. Couldn't control it. The sound just kept coming, echoing off the walls of my dark bedroom, filling every corner with my terror.I was sweating. Trembling. My nightgown clung to my skin, soaked through, and my heart pounded so hard I could feel it in my teeth.The dream was already slipping away, but the feelings remained. The fear. The helplessness. The memory of hands on my body, fingers digging into my wrists, breath hot against my neck.Henry's face. Nigel's smirk. Raymond's gold eyes watching me fall apart and doing nothing.I couldn't shake it off. Any of it.The escape from rape replayed behind my eyelids every time I closed them. The way Henry had looked at me like I was prey. The way he had held me down while he whispered what he was going to do to me. The way my wolf had howled inside my chest, desperate and
