Alpha’s Surrogate by POOJA

36. Her Alpha mate was insane! Light gusts of wind caused the curtains to sway, allowing the sun’s rays to infiltrate the room. A small

shaft of

sunlight glinted off the scarlet cheek of the woman asleep on the bed. It was just enough to enhance her

attractiveness. The sunlight flashed in her eyes, causing her to awaken from her beauty sleep.

“Ah,” Adira moved slightly, inadvertently lifting her injured arm to shield her eyes and whimpered in pain.

“Oh!” She sat up in bed immediately, clutching her arm closely and examined it. The discomfort was

tolerable.

Hm? Who had wrapped her arm up with bandages? It was smeared with dried blood and ointment, yet

the wound

did not seem as deep or as severe as it had the day before during the incident. But, she couldn’t help but

wonder who bandaged her? She had also been dressed in a rather provocative outfit.

When the young woman finally looked around, she found herself in a strange environment and bedroom.

She

was definitely not in the Ardara Moon Pack! It was a large room with big windows decorated with

expensive vases

and paintings. She’d been sitting on the comfy king-sized bed. The dim lighting and small amount of

sunlight enhanced the beauty of the room. Was she in a royal chamber?

“Where am I? Who brought me here?” Her recollections of the prior days’ events had begun to loop in

her head as she questioned herself, which scared her to death. Noah had dispatched his wolves to

capture her. Kiara had suddenly arrived, leaving both sisters in a difficult situation where they were

assaulted, and then…someone

appeared in front of her eyes. Someone she had never expected to meet in this lifetime.

When Adira smelled that familiar orangey fragrance she had sensed in the train station, she swallowed

her saliva hard. She looked around the room, finding a large picture of the Alpha on the right side of the

wall. Her blue eyes

widened in astonishment. The man in the photo had appeared at the train station, he had protected her

from the

wolves. Then, as her eyes met those of the emerald-eyed Alpha, her stupid wolf had screamed ‘mate’.

Her mother had recently informed her that Alpha Xavier had a twin brother. Adira had finally realized that

the man she had spoken with that day on the phone had been Alpha Zander! That’s why she had a

sleepless night

following that conversation. Not to mention that she had caught his orangey scent off Xavier’s clothing

when he attacked the Ardara Moon Pack. His scent had disoriented her wolf at the time, and her wolf

had now confirmed

In a panic, the young she-wolf placed both of her hands over her mouth. It had to be a dream! A

nightmare! There was no way that she had found her mate. She sprang out of bed, still unable to believe

that she was in the Sirius Bright Pack. She was certain this was her mate’s chamber since the air was

thick with his enticing aroma. But what exactly was she doing here? Had he brought her with him to his

pack? Why?

The luggage she had packed before escaping the Ardara Moon pack was next to the bedside table. Had

he brought it from the train station? She began to move closer to her suitcase, but she came to a halt

when she heard

noises coming from one of the doors in the room. Her heart almost stopped when she realized someone

else was in

the room. What was that sound? She took small steps without making a sound, then tried to listen

through the

closed door. Was it a closet?

That’s when the door burst open, startling the young lady. She took a step back, raised her head to gaze

up at the 6.3-foot-tall Alpha towering over her. How long had he been in there? His well-groomed hair,

broad nose, and

razor-sharp jawline stopped her heart. Despite the fact that he was identical to his brother, this was the

first time

Adira recognized how stunning a man could be. His beautiful green eyes matched his handsome face

well, those

green eyes were exclusively locked on her blue ones. Now that he was finally in front of her, she could

tell that his

scent was a mixture of orange and juniper.

“Mate!” Isha, Adira’s wolf, screamed in her mind once more, just like the day before. When they were

face to face, Zander noticed that his woman’s lovely face was growing pale as her blue eyes, which she

had inherited from her mother, grew wider. He took a step closer to her, eventually catching her gaze.

Evan desperately showed up in his human’s eyes to eye-fuck his 5.7 tall mate who was dressed in a

deep cut top and short skirt, allowing his dirty mind to wonder. What a dream it would be for her to be

nude, under him, moaning his name all night. Only his imagination was a source of amusement at the

moment.

Her red lips twitched slightly, drawing all of his attention to them. Last night, their rosy softness had been

all his, and now he could have them whenever he pleased. Her exquisite honey-like flavor had shot an

electric jolt through his entire body, severely assaulting his c**k. He clenched his palm, feeling his

monster harden in his pants. She took a few steps back, without tearing her blue eyes away from his

green ones, equally eye f*****g him. This created an awkward scenario for the Alpha, who had been

trying to control his lust, desire, and heart to keep himself from

f*****g his female.

“How are you feeling?” the Alpha asked, putting his nasty thoughts aside for a while. He took another

step forward, observing her take two steps back. Why was she attempting to flee from him?

“Why did you bring me here?” The she-wolf inquired, sensing his arousal, which she knew was perilous

for her. Isha, her wolf, was slowly getting turned on. With a frown Zander came to a halt his advance.

What did she mean when she asked why he brought her here?

“You know who I am to you, right?” He asked, scanning her up and down. The Alpha was aware that she

had her wolf. She was Kiara’s older sister, which meant she was beyond the age of eighteen. He was

certain she was young, perhaps around 20 years old. Her wolf must have told her that they were

soulmates like Evan had told his

human.

“I don’t know,” the young woman lied, turning her eyes away from him. But she flinched when the Alpha

took another step closer to her. He was acting like a predator! She searched the room for a way out, but

all she could see was a few inches of wall behind her!

“You don’t know?” The Alpha inquired, lifting his brows as her back hit the cool wall. She felt herself

being trapped between his arms and the wall. s**t! There was no way out!

“No, I’m not familiar with you. Perhaps you’re my kidnapper,” she remarked, staring at his chest to avoid

his gaze, but his finger stroked her chin, raising her face up.

“Kidnapper?” Zander’s gaze bore deep into Adira’s, enough to frighten anybody but her.

“Yes,” she answered, without blinking.

“Does your heart beat fast for your kidnapper in such a wonderful way? Don’t tell me you’re loving being

kidnapped or that you’ve fallen in love with your kidnapper,” Adira’s blue eyes widened at his words.

“I despise kidnappers! It’s simply that you’re much too handsome and are standing too close to me, so

my foolish heart reacts. That’s all!,” she tried to clear things up before he got the wrong idea. s**t! Her

body was betraying her. The Alpha’s lips formed a small smile. She hadn’t realized that she had called

him handsome.

“So you have no idea who I am?” He inquired once again, his face furrowed.

“Yes,” she replied confidently.

“Then do you have any soreness between your thighs? But due to the unexpected tightness and heat, I

swear my c**k is still on fire. Virgins were never my thing, but I adored every minute of last night.”

“What exactly do you mean?” Adira’s face turned white. His words had misled her. Had something

happened between them last night? She had been alone with him the entire night. She had woken up in

his bed, while he emerged dressed in new clean clothing. She also questioned who had changed her

clothing. She attempted to sense

any discomfort in her princess part without touching herself.

“Do you feel anything?” He asked, taking note of her scared blue eyes.

“No, I’m not certain. Why?” When the Alpha gave her a gorgeous, heart-stealing smile and didn’t say

anything, she clutched her skirt tightly. What exactly had he meant? What was the significance of his

smile? Had they… Had they done it? Adira’s cheeks flushed with rage and shame.

“How dare you take advantage of me when I was unconscious?!” She yelled, raising her hand to smack

the shameless man who dared to smile after committing such a heinous act. Her hand was caught and

pinned above her head before it could reach his face.

“I can do anything I wish to my mate,” he responded, infuriating her even further.

“Just because I’m your mate doesn’t mean you can touch me without my consent!” She screamed,

squirming in his grip.

“Hmm… So my mate is a virgin. I had assumed I was just your kidnapper,” Zander continued. Adira

blinked a few times before realizing she had fallen into his trap! He had her admit it in a roundabout way

so that she knew they were mates! In bewilderment, her mouth hung wide open. How cunning might this

Alpha be? She wasn’t even aware that she’d admitted that they were mates.

“Let me go!” She demanded. Instead of letting go of her hand, the Alpha tightened his grip on it, while his

other hand slipped around her waist, pulling her closer to his chest.

“Not until you explain why you lied? You knew we were mates, but you won’t admit it. Why are you

playing this game if you know you’re going to lose?” Zander inquired, his gaze fixed on hers. The mate

bond was something they couldn’t ignore, but she tried nevertheless. Her eyes told him that she had

been hiding something from him, but what? What was holding her back?

Adira could feel his fingers moving around her waist. She tried desperately to stop herself by breathing

heavily, but it was impossible. The spark she had been experiencing had spread throughout her body,

making her legs go limp when faced with the mate bond.

“Who would want to be with a man who has a mistress in his life?” She snapped. Zander scowled at her

remark.

“Did I not already clear this up between us that I don’t have a mistress? She was just someone who

misunderstood a friendship and attempted to act like a b***h. She is no longer in my pack. I banished her

a long time ago for disrespecting you,” he continued without blinking. He had banished her because she

had offended him? Adira read the desperation and despair in his eyes as he sought to prove himself to

her. He was worried that she wouldn’t believe him.

“I don’t have any other woman in my life but you, Adira,” he said. The young she-wolf’s heartbeat

quickened as she heard her name come from his mouth. It sounded so sweet and soft.

“I love you, Adira,” he confessed. Adira’s heart dropped into her stomach when she heard him. In fear,

she clenched her hand hard. His statements were terrifying. He claimed to love her only because of the

mate bond that he sensed between them?

“I am sorry, but we can’t be together,” she stepped back, moving away from him. He didn’t appear to

have heard the stories about her that were circulating among the werewolf community. It was excellent

news. She had the option of walking away with or without rejection.

“What did you say?” He took her hand in his, pulling her back to the same wall. Evan had gone insane

because he knew she didn’t want to be with them.

“You heard what I said. We can’t be together, so please let me go. I don’t want to be a part of your pack

or life,” she responded. To contain his rage, the Alpha squeezed his hand hard. She seemed to be

rejecting him.

“Why?” He roared, slamming both his hands into the wall at her sides, caging her small figure once more

between his body and the wall. The young woman had chosen to remain silent, but the Alpha had

decided to force her to talk

“Do you have a boyfriend or lover?” He demanded, intending to murder the shithead who tried to steal

her from him.

“No,” she answered, right away.

“Are you afraid of your father or the pack?” He flung another inquiry, this time with a fatal aura. The Alpha

was going to slaughter anyone who had frightened her. Adira became terrified when she saw his

bloodthirsty eyes, which would easily finish her pack for no apparent reason.

“I am not afraid of anyone,” she declared.

“Then I don’t see why I should let you go,” he remarked, staring deep into her unhappy eyes. Adira

continued to gaze for a few seconds at his furious green eyes. He was not going to let her go if she did

not answer him.

“If you want a reason, pay attention to what I’m saying. I don’t need a mate or a man. I have no desire for

one. I also hate you for kidnapping me. I’ve decided to live alone in this life, so let me leave your life and

pack,” she answered, staring deep into his eyes.

“Lie!” He growled. His wolf was well aware that she was deceiving him. Maybe she didn’t love him, but

she didn’t despise him either.

“It’s true!” She snapped, her true feelings suppressed. His sorrowful expression and shattered heart were

too much for her to bear. But this was not the time to give up. She needed to break their bond before she

wounded him

any further

“Let’s reject each other,” she offered, holding back her tears. Zander took a step back in shock when he

heard the word rejection. The woman he had always sought wanted to be rejected.

“I will not reject you until you give me the genuine reason for your demand for rejection,” he asserted.

There was dead quiet between them, yet neither of them broke their eye contact.

“I was…” Adira began to speak, but her voice became clogged in her throat. She knew this day would

come, but she had no idea it would be full of humiliation.

“I was raped by my teacher when I was sixteen,” Zander’s eyes widened in shock when he heard her

confession.

“Those two days that I was locked in his basement were a living hell for me. I had to witness the worst

aspect of a man because of what he did to me. I was hungry, thirty, abused, and little more than a s*x toy

for him. He intended to imprison me indefinitely. It was also enough to make me afraid of men. I was so

terrified that my father’s touch reminded me of that monster. Dad had arrived to save me, but it was too

late. I’d already escaped from that basement. That monster continued to follow me, then I was involved

in an accident that resulted in a significant loss. The doctor verified that I will have complications with any

pregnancy in the future. There is only a 25% possibility that I will be able to give birth, but they were sure

that I would never even be able to get pregnant. My Father and Mother cried for me, but it was in vain.

The damage had already been done,” she revealed as her tears rolled down to her cheeks. Zander’s

body grew cold as he sensed her anguish that she had always kept hidden deep within her heart. She

had parents, but she couldn’t show them how she felt. She pretended to be alright because she was

terrified of hurting them any more. She was alone, he had not been with her at that time. He began to

approach her again, but stopped when she continued.

“By pairing us together, the Moon Goddess made a mistake. She has given an Alpha, a damaged

woman who couldn’t provide him with an heir that he will desire. Noah was always correct. I would be

rejected as soon as my mate discovered that I was just a f**k toy, not a baby-making machine. But he

had no idea that I didn’t want to be a

f**k toy. I don’t want a mate if my existence is only based on giving birth to a pup. I want to be rejected.I

want to live without a man,” Adira spilled all of her dark secrets, enduring the humiliations as she wiped

away her tears.

“Now I’ve told you everything. I’ve been raped and can’t provide you an heir,” she asserted, taking steps

closer to him until she stood firmly in front of him.

“Reject me,” she requested, her gaze drawn to his emerald eyes, which revealed an unknown emotion

that she had never witnessed before. He could easily persuade another she-wolf to marry him. A woman

who could offer him all the happiness he deserved, therefore the pain of rejection would not last long.

The young woman waited for her rejection only to watch him raise his hand to touch her cheek. What

was he doing? His other arm was wrapped around her waist as he drew her closer to him.

“Is that all? Was this your reason? If that’s the case, it’s not enough for me to reject you,” he whispered,

cupping

her face as he leaned in close.

“What?” Her tearful eyes widened in astonishment as her heart raced due to her close proximity to him.

Their lips were barely a few inches apart, causing the young woman to lick her own in anxiety. He must

have gone insane to speak such things. Had he heard her clearly or not?

” You are not going to leave me or my pack. We’re not rejecting each other either. If you ever speak the

word “rejection” to me again, I swear I’ll lose my mind right now. I’m fairly bad at taking these kinds of

jokes,” the Alpha told her, brushing his lips against hers causing her to close her eyes as his touch made

her knees weak. What was he saying?

“Don’t touch me. I told you before that I don’t like men touching me,” she said hesitantly, taking a deep

and heavy breath. What was going on with her? She was usually repelled by the touch of other men, but

his touch seemed to make her need more.

“Then I’ll continue to touch you until you become used to me, Adira. I’ll keep waiting for you. I don’t need

a child as long as I can have your love,” Zander promised as she opened her eyes in astonishment when

she heard him.

“You are crazy…” She whispered in disbelief.

“Yes, I know,” The Alpha chuckled and drew his woman in for a passionate kiss. Adira’s eyes were wide

open as her tears streamed down her face.

What was this man saying? Her alpha mate was insane!
