Novel & Cerita The Alpha's Accidental Surrogate

He stops. "What?" I say. "Undefeatable," he says quietly. "In pack terms. A child who can't be challenged, can't be overthrown, can't be defeated for the Alpha position." I stare at him. "Someone engineered this pregnancy," I say slowly, "to produce an heir they can control." "Yes." "And the heir is inside me." "Yes." The street is quiet outside my window. Ordinary Chicago Tuesday. Someone walking a dog. A delivery truck double parked.

The protective instinct was there whether I wanted it or not. I climbed into my car and started the engine. As I pulled away from the curb, my thoughts wandered. The insemination mix-up. Savannah. The court mess. Everything we’d been dragged through. None of it should have happened. Yet somehow, in the middle of all the chaos, Kyra and I had built something surprisingly steady. Something soft. Something real. The drive back was quiet. Just the hum of the engine and the rhythm of the road beneath the tires. I found myself smiling slightly.

If I were him, I wouldn’t be trading them in for anything Luca has. “Um,” the woman says, turning her eyes to consider me with a grimace when Luca finishes outlining the problem. “I’m honestly not sure we have anything…at all that small. I mean, we were told to expect…Alphas.” “He’s a mini Alpha,” Tony says, grinning and resting his arm on my shoulder as I scowl. “Pocket-sized for quick deployment.” “Um, I can look?” she says, grimacing and turning towards the back. Luca nods, again giving her that devastating smile as she turns towards the back of the tent, seeing what she can do.

Personal truth won Alphas. The first Alpha was a woman named Sable, young, pragmatic, leading a pack of ninety wolves whose eastern boundary sat within Thornfield's convergence range. She had been approached by Elder Voss's intermediary two days before Betty arrived. She had not committed. Betty sat with her in her packhouse and did not make a legal argument. She told her about Mara Rayne.

So old and rusty. A heaved found way out of my lips. This is so absorb… I’m abducted, is that it? I almost laugh and once again fall seated on the floor. I brushed my hand on my hair. This is devastating. I thought due to the Dean’s plan to overthrow the Alpha I could finally live a little more better then before. I thought everything starting from there will end up right… but what happen now? In the middle of my loneliness, I realized the title I just mentioned earlier. “A-Alpha…” Was he the one behind this?! Did he wrecked our our peaceful home? Is he behind the letter and… my breath fell. “I-Imelda.”

I wanted to scream at her for making so much noise with the plates and spoon which was adding to the hammering going on in my head. Plus my father hadn't said why I was summoned. Not yet. We all watched Julian walk out angrily with a hiss. She was almost past me when my father spoke again. “Alpha Rowan needs you as his surrogate. He is paying us for it.” My heart stopped. My breath caught in my throat. And the plates in Julian’s hands crashed to the floor. Surrogate? For an Alpha? Alpha Rowan... the one whose hands dripped with more than just wolf blood but dirty mafia deeds... wanted me?

No tracks, no broken branches that showed a struggle, no toy or scrap of cloth that might have marked where they’d been taken. “What are we going to do, Alpha?” Silence fell heavy. I had no plan beyond will and teeth and a brand-new, burning hatred for whatever had taken them. We both knew hope without a plan was a lie. “I hope they’re safe wherever those things dragged them,” Sandra added, and the note of it — the helpless prayer hidden in the words — twisted my stomach.

I hear Alice whisper something, but I can’t quite pick up on her words. “She’ll be fine, Alice; go back to Connor now and knock off for the night.” Alpha Hunter is speaking to her so softly, I can almost trick myself into thinking he’s a nice person; that's how Alphas work, though. They draw you in with a false sense of security and then they turn into a monster; it's what happened with Alpha Jacob and it's what will eventually happen with Alpha Hunter. Sure, he’s caring for me now but I give it only a matter of time before he’s slamming me into a wall so he can get past me or he’s making me stand in the corner of the room while everyone eats and I wait for the scraps.

And now… he was dead. “The Alpha was furious,” Suri continued. “He’s been investigating ever since. He was ready to kill the healer himself, but… he got attacked by rogues trying to escape. Ah… I’m so sorry, Luna. I’m just dumping all of this on you.” “It’s okay,” I said, forcing my expression to remain calm. “Just give me a few minutes to process all of this.” She nodded and took a step back. I let out a slow, shaky breath, trying to calm my racing heart.

I was surprised that I still had it in me. When he turned to me, her eyes locked in and a strong force of attraction pulled us towards each other. I snapped my eyes away from him not wanting to relieve that feeling. The first one had been euphoric and I could still remember how excited I was to be chosen by the Alpha. I ended up being a surrogate. I didn’t want any of that ever again. “Good job,” he said, staring at the bandages one more time. “Thank you.” I nodded.
