All Chapters of Alpha Zane’s Surrogate: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Zane’s POVI stood outside the clinic room, frantic and staring through the glass panel.Naya lay still on the hospital bed.Machines hummed softly around her, thin IV tubes running into her arm. Her silver-grey hair spread across the pillow like spilled moonlight, but her skin… it looked too pale.So Fragile.For a woman who had endured so much in a short span of time, seeing her like this felt wrong.My chest rose and fell heavily.Each breath felt like it weighed a hundred pounds.The doctor moved around her carefully, checking vials and writing something on a clipboard. Occasionally he glanced at the monitor beside the bed, his brows furrowing slightly.Every second he hesitated made my stomach twist harder.A sound behind me pulled me from the trance.The sound of strong boots and heavy breathing approached me.My body stiffened instantly.I turned.And there he was.Fucking Louise!Standing a few steps behind me with that same infuriating calm expression.My vision darkened.Bef

Zane’s POVI jerked back instantly.Naya’s hand dropped away just as fast.Nikolas stepped inside like he owned the damn building.“Alpha,” he said.I shot him a look that could have killed a lesser wolf.“What?”The irritation in my voice was impossible to hide.Nikolas pretended not to notice.“There are a few decisions that require your attention.”I exhaled slowly, forcing myself to calm down.Then I turned back to Naya.“Can you manage alone for a bit?”She nodded.“I’ll be fine.”“I’ll send Winnie to stay with you,” I said. “I won’t be long.”She smiled faintly.“Go.”I hesitated another second before finally standing.“Rest,” I told her.Then I walked out with Nikolas.****The drive back to the castle was short.Neither of us spoke during it.Once inside, we walked straight to my study.The moment I sat behind my desk, I rubbed my temples.“What’s this about?” I muttered. “Make it fast.”Nikolas nodded.Then he started going over reports.Trade routes.Human business dealings.

Zane’s POVThe moment I left the clinic, rage burned through my veins like wildfire.Every step I took through the castle corridors echoed with the same thought in my head.Louise.That bastard had no business being anywhere near Naya.Yet somehow he had slithered into her room like a snake, whispering poison into her ears.By the time I reached the hallway where he was staying, my wolf was practically clawing at my skin.Fucking Break him.End him that son of a Bitch..I didn’t bother knocking.I slammed the door open.What I saw inside made my blood boil instantly.Louise had one of the castle maids pinned against the dresser, his hand slipping into her dress while his tongue was shoved down her throat.The girl gasped when she saw me.She shoved herself away from him like she had just been burned while fixing her dress“A..Alpha…I…I’m sorry Alpha!” she cried immediately, dropping into a shaky bow. “He forced me… I swear it won’t happen again!”Her entire body trembled.My gaze neve

Naya’s POVI stood by the window, staring out into the quiet street below.The night air pressed softly against the glass, carrying faint sounds of laughter and chatter from the pack members still awake outside.Moonveil was massive.The largest pack in the eastern territories.Its lands stretched so far that, according to Winnie, it had six entire streets within its main settlement alone. Two of those streets were reserved almost entirely for the wealthiest pack members… the elites who owned businesses and controlled most of the pack’s economy.From the window of the clinic ward, I could see one of the nearer streets.Children ran across the pavement under the silver glow of the moon, chasing one another and laughing loudly while their parents talked nearby.The sight made my chest tighten softly.Without thinking, my hand drifted down to my stomach.The small bump beneath my palm felt warmer tonight.“Hey baby…” I whispered softly.My fingers brushed gently over the curve of my bell

Katherine’s POVI paced the length of the room for what must have been the hundredth time.Back and forth.Back and forth.The carpet beneath my feet muffled my steps, but the restless energy burning inside me refused to settle.Everything was falling apart.And the worst part?My own son was sitting there looking completely unbothered.“Come on, mother,” Cassius groaned from the chair near the window. “You’re going to make me dizzy.”I stopped immediately.Slowly, I turned to look at him.My eyes narrowed.“How are you so nonchalant about this entire situation?”Cassius leaned back, running a hand through his hair with clear frustration.“Because,” he said bluntly, “I’m not even sure I want to be Alpha, mother.”For a moment, I swear smoke could have come out of my ears.Before he could react, my hand snapped out and smacked his arm.“Are you trying to be funny?”Cassius winced, rubbing the spot where I hit him.“Ow—”“You think this is a joke?” I snapped.My voice rose with each wor
