Todos los capítulos de Surrogate for the CEO Alpha: Capítulo 121 - Capítulo 130

MayaThe village looked peaceful enough to belong to another world.People moved between the small shops, a motorcycle rattled past the roadside, and children played near a row of houses. The ordinary sounds should have comforted me, but I couldn't stop looking over my shoulder. After everything we had endured, peace felt temporary, like something that could disappear the moment I allowed myself to trust it.An older woman stood outside a small grocery store, arranging goods on a wooden table. Willow approached her and asked where we could find medical assistance.The woman took one look at Roman's injured cheek and directed us toward a nearby clinic.I nearly cried when the nurse agreed to examine him without demanding explanations we weren't ready to give.She cleaned his wound, checked his breathing, and assured me that the cut appeared superficial, though it needed to be monitored for infection. I stayed beside him throughout the examination, holding his hand and watching every mo

MayaThe gunshot shattered the air.I flinched, pressing Roman against my chest as the sound reverberated through the SUV. The wolf pursuing us stumbled, its legs faltering beneath its enormous body before it crashed onto the roadside.For a moment, I could only stare.The guard had shot it without hesitation."What have you done?" I gasped.He ignored me, leaning farther toward the open window as he scanned the road ahead.Another man emerged from the trees, his shoulders already broadening as his bones began to shift beneath his clothes. He stumbled onto the road, seemingly desperate to reach us.The guard raised his weapon again."No!" I screamed.The second shot rang out.The man collapsed before he could complete his transformation.My stomach twisted. I had seen violence before. Tyler had made certain of that. But watching these men kill two shifters without attempting to restrain them, question them, or discover why they were pursuing us left me shaken in a way I couldn't expla

BrianThe receptionist looked frightened by my tone, but I forced myself to remain calm. Losing control wouldn't bring Maya back. I needed facts, and she was the only person in front of me who might have seen the men responsible."They arrived in two black SUVs," she repeated. "There were several men wearing black suits. They said they had been sent to collect the woman and her baby. They insisted they needed to leave immediately.""Did Maya recognize them?""I couldn't tell. She seemed uncertain at first, but she eventually agreed to go."That answer made my suspicion deepen.Maya wouldn't willingly trust strangers after everything she had endured in River Vale. If she had entered those vehicles, she must have believed the men were connected to me, or they had convinced her they could protect her and Roman."Did they say where they were taking her?""No, sir."I turned toward Ethan. "Find every vehicle that left this village within the last hour. I want their identities and destinatio

MayaMagnus settled into the armchair opposite me, crossing one leg over the other as though we were old acquaintances meeting for a friendly conversation. His pale eyes remained fixed on my face, studying me with an interest that made me increasingly uncomfortable.Willow sat beside me, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. She hadn't said a word since his introduction, but I could feel her uneasiness. I wasn't entirely comfortable myself. However, if the head of the Werewolf Council had personally arranged to bring us here, I needed to understand his intentions before deciding how to respond."Please, make yourself comfortable," Magnus said."Thank you."I remained seated with Roman in my arms.His gaze dropped to my son, and his expression softened slightly. "So, this is one of Brian's boys.""Yes. His name is Roman.""Beautiful child.""Thank you."Magnus leaned back, a faint smile returning to his face. "I've wanted to meet you for quite some time, Maya. You're an interesting wom

Maya"We are aware that you killed Alpha Tyler."My fingers tightened around the spoon.For a moment, I wondered whether I had heard Magnus correctly. Then I looked at him and found him watching me with the same pleasant expression he'd worn throughout dinner."I killed him in self-defense," I replied."Is that what you call it?""That's what it was."Magnus dabbed his mouth with a napkin before setting it beside his plate. "According to the information we've received, you're currently a fugitive on the run. Or should I say a murderer?"Anger rose in my chest, but I forced myself to remain seated."I already told you it was self-defense. Tyler tried to kill my child. Roman have the scar to prove it."He had threatened Roman, and I had done what any mother would do to protect her child. I hadn't planned to kill him. I hadn't even known what I was capable of until Zyla awakened and took control.But none of that mattered to Magnus.He continued speaking as though I hadn't said a word, h
