All Chapters of Alpha Zane’s Surrogate: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Naya’s POVI stood in front of the wardrobe, staring at the endless rows of clothes hanging neatly inside.For someone who had once owned nothing but two plain dresses, the sight still felt unreal.There were gowns, skirts, blouses, jackets… all arranged by color and style like something out of a dream.And somehow, none of them seemed right.“I think this looks beautiful.”Winnie’s voice came from behind me as she pointed excitedly at a bright yellow dress hanging near the center.I glanced at it.Then shook my head.“I’m going to an auction, not a nightclub,” I said.“If I wear that, the entire room will stare at me like hawks.”Winnie tilted her head, considering my point.“…You might be right.”She turned back to the wardrobe and pulled out another dress.“What about this one?”I sighed softly.“I don’t know, Winnie.”Frustration was beginning to creep into my voice.I glanced at the clock on the wall.Two hours.That was all the time I had left to get ready.And I still hadn’t ch

Naya’s POV“What do you want?” I asked coldly.Louise stood outside my door, the hallway lanterns casting long shadows behind him. In his hand was a small velvet box.Without speaking, he lifted it slightly and opened the lid.Inside lay the emerald set glistening under the small lights planted in the box.The same one he had spent a hundred million dollars on earlier tonight.“You forgot this with me,” he said calmly.I stared at the jewelry for a moment before shaking my head.“We both know, I didn’t forget it.”His brows furrowed slightly.“I just didn’t want anything from you.”A flicker of frustration crossed his face.“Naya…”He stepped closer.“What do I have to do to make you give me a chance?”I pretended to think about it for a second, tapping my chin lightly.“I don’t know,” I said slowly.Then I looked him directly in the eyes.“Maybe set me free and leave Moonveil entirely.”His jaw tightened.Louise suddenly reached for my hand.But I pulled it away immediately.“I canno

Valkyra’s POV I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as the castle gates came into view. The guards opened them immediately. Of course they would. They still believed I was the future Luna of Moonveil. A small smile curled at the edge of my lips as I drove inside. But beneath that smile, my thoughts were sharp, cold and calculated. I was done playing Katherine’s game. That woman still thinks she was some master strategist. But lately, all her plans are beginning to fall apart. And the worst part? She doesn’t even seem to notice. If I keep following her blindly, I would end up losing everything I’ve worked so hard to get. No. That won’t happen. Not after everything I have sacrificed. If Naya thinks she can steal Zane from me… Then she is terribly mistaken. I parked the car near the castle entrance and stepped out. Straightening my coat, I walked inside with my head held high. The moment I crossed the entrance hall, voices drifted toward me from the main sitting r

Naya’s POV I didn’t stop running until I reached the one place in the castle that always felt peaceful. Zane’s mother’s garden. My room overlooked the garden and for months I’ve found looking into this garden peaceful. The moment I pushed through the iron gate, the scent of blooming flowers wrapped around me like a soft embrace. Morning sunlight filtered through the tall trees, kissing the petals of roses, lilies, and wildflowers that swayed gently in the breeze. It was beautiful. Peaceful. The kind of place where nothing ugly should ever happen. But my chest felt like it was splitting apart. I stumbled toward the wooden bench in the center of the garden and dropped onto it heavily. The moment I sat down, the tears came. I buried my face in my hands and sobbed. My heart replayed the scene over and over again. Valkyra. Her lips on Zane’s. The way they stood so close together. “How could he do this to me?” I cried softly. The words trembled out of my mouth. “I am such

Zane’s POVI woke up mentally.Eyes still closed.For a moment, everything around me felt… calm.Quiet and Peaceful.My body felt relaxed in a way I hadn’t imagined it to in years.And then…I reached out.Instinctively.My hand moved across the other side of the bed, searching for her.For the woman I had cuddled into my arms last night.But all I felt was cold sheets.The bed was empty.My brows furrowed slightly, but I didn’t open my eyes yet.Maybe she was in the bathroom.“Naya…” I called out, my voice still rough from sleep.No response.That was when my eyes snapped open.I turned my head.The room was empty.A strange feeling settled in my chest.I sat up immediately.“Naya?”Still nothing.I swung my legs off the bed and stood up, heading straight for the bathroom.Maybe she didn’t hear me.I pushed the door open.Empty.My heartbeat picked up slightly.I stepped back into the room, scanning every corner as if I had missed her somehowBut nothing.Now fully awake, I ran a han
