Alpha’s Surrogate by POOJA

11. Annoying Male Around Luna. The young female had always questioned why the Alpha had picked her in the first place. Why had he

chosen the daughter of an enemy as a surrogate despite the fact that he had hundreds of gorgeous

nymph-like females in his pack? Why would he want an heir from this young virgin’s womb? She never

asked those questions that were on her mind, most likely due to her lack of confidence in learning

the answers.

She was concerned now that Xavier had revealed his obsessive side of himself. He only wanted a child

from her!

Kiara slowly opened her eyes as she gazed at Xavier, her heart flickered with an unusual emotion. What

exactly was it? She was

terrified of her own beating heart.

“Tyler has been tasked with preparing the surrogacy legal contracts. Now, as a result of this marking

situation, I’ll add a few more items. As I previously stated, nothing will change, but one thing has been

added, and that is that we must mark each other,” the Alpha continued, caressing her face. Her body

was as cold as ice, yet she could hear and comprehend him perfectly.

“I’ll give you time to think it over and decide but only the time it takes for the documents to be drawn up,”

he offered. For the first time, Kiara had been offered a choice.

Kiara merely nodded, knowing she didn’t have much time to consider. Her marking ceremony would take

place on the day of the full moon, which was the day after tomorrow. So the papers were bound to be

finished by the next day. She just had a few hours to make a decision.

“And…”

“Kiara,” Jennifer and Lena entered the corridor and stood a distance away. Xavier and Kiara both stared

at them. Both gorgeous

female’s expressions were filled with concern for their Luna, who had left the dining table without having

eaten breakfast. The news of

the marking ritual should have brought her joy and happiness, but it had enraged the Alpha and Luna

which both females had

noticed.

Xavier drew his hand back, that had been caressing Kiara’s hair and cheek during their conversation.

Their gazes met for a few seconds before he abruptly decided to leave the females alone and made his

way downstairs, where the ranked males awaited him.

; “Is everything okay?” Lena inquired. Kiara felt guilty after seeing the sad expressions of Jennifer, who

was usually chirping, and Leena, who was always smiling. They had both been delighted for her when

they heard about the marking, and they were both concerned for her when she suddenly left the dining

room.

“Yes, I’m alright. Please don’t be concerned.” Kiara smiled brightly at them, bringing solace to both

female’s hearts.

“So, why did you leave the dining room so quickly? Why didn’t you join us for breakfast?” Lena

questioned as they drew closer to their Luna, who appeared to have wept. Did they in some way hurt

her?

“My stomach was a little upset, so I needed to rest. But I’m okay since the Alpha was there to support

me. Please don’t be concerned. I apologize. That is something I will never do again. I’ll let you both

know, the next time it happens.” She reassured her two worried

friends of her recovery while holding their hands.

“Do you want me to grab you some fruit or something light to eat?” Lena asked, as they entered Kiara’s

room.

“No, I usually skip breakfast, so I’m okay. I don’t feel hungry,” She informed them with a little giggle

because their expressions were clearly astonished. Her mother used to lecture her for not eating

breakfast.

“Kiara, you should not miss breakfast. It’s a good thing you told us this since a tornado would have

landed if the Alpha had been

listening.” Lena burst out laughing.

“What exactly do you mean?” What was the connection between her eating and the Alpha?

“Perhaps you are unaware, but Kaiden gave me a long list of nutritious foods that needed to be put on

your plate. The Alpha has requested the Doctor to prepare a chart for you. In short, I have a diet chart,

and according to it, you must have three meals and two

snacks every day, without skipping any, otherwise I will be in big trouble “Jennifer stated.

Kiara’s eyes widened in amazement. Diet plan? When had that happened? Everything from the doctor

had already been prescribed on her behalf by the Alpha, and she now had to follow it. He had wanted to

put more flesh on her bones! The young she-wolf was just concerned about her weight! She had never

starved in her pack, this was just her normal figure. Would he continue to feed her until she became

chubby?! This male was a force to be reckoned with! Everything had been arranged behind her back.

With every passing second, she could sense his obsession with a healthy child growing. Here he had

given her time to consider marking! But in truth, he knew she

didn’t have much of a choice because he had already informed her that he would catch her again.

“A glass of juice would do,” Kiara said. She didn’t want her friends to get in trouble as a result of her.

Jennifer immediately ordered an Omega to bring her juice. She’d been torn between the Alpha’s

command and the Luna’s mood, but juice was preferable to an empty

stomach.

“So, do you have any plans for today?” Lena asked, taking a seat on the sofa.

“I don’t have much to do here. I am completely free,” she exclaimed, laughing. As her semester classes

had not yet begun, she had nothing to study.

“Why don’t we all go shopping right now?” Lina suggested, looking between Jennifer and Kiara ! “But

haven’t you planned to go shopping this evening?” Kiara was puzzled.

“Yes, but the three of us have nothing to do right now, and we may not have time to go shopping later if

other pack members come to the pack house for an evening meeting. We’ll have plenty of time to shop if

we leave now. How about we go to a movie together after

we get what we need?”

“I agree with you. I’ll ask the driver to get the car ready, and we’ll all be on our way in half an hour,”

Jennifer stated, glancing at Kiara, since she was the only one who had yet to give her approval.

“But I’m going to wear this outfit. Please do not send me another,” Kiara gave both females a severe

look. The Beta and Gamma

female giggled, wondering how the Luna had discovered their plan to doll her for shopping.

After a half an hour, the three beautiful she-wolves stepped out of the pack house, where the car was

waiting for them. The driver

lowered his head and opened the door, not daring to look at the females, but when he smelled a familiar

scent he couldn’t stop himself.

“Kiara!” He almost yelped. The young female recognized the voice and turned to face the male who had

opened the door for her.

“Cole!” Kiara was taken aback.

“Oh my goodness! We meet again,” Cole exclaimed as he clasped her hand. He knew she wouldn’t let

him embrace her, so he

restrained himself.

“Are you two acquainted?” Jennifer was surprised, then alarmed, to find them holding hands. She was

relieved that the Alpha was

not in the pack, but the other pack members would keep an eye on them. She had never paid attention

to this young driver before today,

but the way they knew each other’s names made it evident that they knew one other very well.

“Yes, Cole and I were classmates,” Kiara explained cheerfully. She had not anticipated coming across

him in this pack. Jennifer and

Lena exchange anxious looks. How was it possible for the daughter of an Alpha to have a friendship with

an Omega?

“What exactly are you doing here?” Kiara had completely forgotten about her shopping trip and had

opted to catch up with an old buddy who had transferred schools the previous year.

“I am a member of the Sirius Bright Pack. I am a new driver,” he said enthusiastically, watching how

elegantly Kiara pulled her hair

away from her face. She was as stunning as ever, which made his heart race.

“Ohh,” Kiara had never questioned him about his pack before. But she was delighted to see him again.

“So, what about you? Do you intend to meet with someone here?” Cole inquired, noting that Beta and

Gamma females had been

standing behind Kiara, which was unusual. This has never occurred before. These two females would

never walk behind anyone other

than the Alpha twins, no matter who the guest was.

“She is the pack’s Luna. The mate of Alpha Xavier, “Jennifer responded proudly before Kiara had the

chance.

disguised when he caught their gazes on him.

“That’s great,” he said as he let go of her hand. Yes, the pack had heard that the Alpha had selected a

Luna, but he had no idea that the female was none other than Kiara.

They all went shopping, and as usual, Jennifer and Lena pushed Kiara to buy whatever she desired.

More than the Luna, the Beta, and Gamma were eager to go shopping. Kiara was happy that they had

both joined her because she had zero experience shopping at pricey malls.

First and foremost, Lena took her to a shoe store. Kiara could walk in her sandals that had been

delivered that morning, but these

heels were too high for her. When she asked for lower high heels, Lena refused. Quickly teaching her

how to walk in high heels. Kiara proved to be a fast learner, and they lavished her with shoes of every

color. Following that, they moved on to bags and cosmetics. Kiara allowed Jennifer and Lena to buy her

make-up. They also taught her how to buy more in the future. Her long hair was lovely, but it required

extra care, so a hair dryer and straightener were a nice choice.

Kiara was relieved that she had stopped Cole from following them as they entered the underwear store.

He wanted to be a

bodyguard, but he had to follow the Luna’s orders. Lena teased her every now and again, urging her to

buy all the matching thongs, panties, and bras so that she might surprise the Alpha while he was in

action at night. Kiara had been blushing uncontrollably. Are all

married she-wolves this bold? The Luna was also urged to purchase extra pairs in case of wild s*x,

which would result in her underwear

being ripped off.

Jennifer brought Kiara to a clothing store where she purchased at least two dozen various patterns,

colors, and brands of

garments.

“I don’t need so much clothing,” Kiara thought of putting back more than half of the clothing they had

picked out. She was only

going to be in the pack for a few months. Certainly, Xavier would scold her when he saw how much

money she had spent. How could

these women spend so much money? They didn’t even glance at the price tags!

“This is not even close to enough, believe me. You will be attending several meetings, parties, and

events with the Alpha over the

course of a few days, for which you will require all of this attire. Don’t tell me you’re planning on wearing

the same outfits all year,” Lena

and Jennifer chuckled, believing it was a joke, but it had been a reality for Kiara. She had no need for so

many garments because she had

never been permitted to attend a single event, thus all of this stuff was meaningless to her.

• “Will the Alpha take me to events?” The young female resembled a small girl who had been informed

about the possibility of visiting

Wonderland.

“Yes, as you are the Luna, you will accompany him everywhere. As a result, we must get additional

clothing,” Jennifer and Lena

stated as they drew her into a gown shop.

Kiara was surprised by this. Her father would always take everyone to the festival, leaving her alone at

home. Martha had to follow

her mate, but Adira usually sought to stay home with Kiara. But as the oldest daughter it had been

required of her to attend the festivals.

Only Kiara would be left alone since her father was certain that her bad luck would follow them. She had

been really sad at first, and she

had grieved at times alone, but she eventually became accustomed to it. She used to watch everyone

excitedly getting dressed and

heading to the festival, then she would lock herself away in her room.

But she had no idea that Xavier would take her out to events with him. She had been destined to be his

Luna even if it was only for a

few months. The Beta and Gamma females instantly noticed the little smile on her face.

“Oooo… you are thinking about the Alpha?” Jennifer teased.

“No, I am not,” Kiara hastily lied, picking up a red gown at random.

“Don’t try to hide it. We noticed you were daydreaming,” Lena smiled as she poked Kiara’s sides. The

young female laughed, but she didn’t confessit.

“Kiara, you are absolutely amazing. You’ve turned our cold, heartless Alpha into a normal being. I still

can’t believe he has chosen a

mate,” Jennifer’s voice sounded a bit sad to Kiara. Jennifer had married Kaiden prior to Xavier rejecting

Petra. She had only spent a little

time with the Alpha and former Luna, but she had witnessed all of Xavier’s melancholy, anguish, and

agitation after. that.

“Could you explain why he’s so cold and heartless?” Kiara had been perplexed. This morning had been

the first time she had

his eyes spoke louder than his words, but he was always cold to her. She could feel an invisible barrier

between them whenever she came

close to him.

“Umm, there are just a number of topics that we are not permitted to discuss. But I remember him being

very different a few years back. He used to be nice and would smile at us, but then circumstances

caused him to change. Actually, this is a really sensitive subject.

We really are not the ones who can tell you about it. It’s the Alpha’s business, I suppose you’ll learn more

about it shortly. But I’d like to suggest that you not abandon him. He needs his Luna. The Alpha requires

your love, Kiara,” Kiara looked between Jennifer and Lena; who were pleading with her not to leave their

Alpha alone. She couldn’t believe that she nodded, knowing that she’d depart one day.

She hadn’t gotten a response to her question about his cold demeanor, but she had realized that

Xavier’s heart was just as empty as

hers. She had been watching Jennifer and Lena as they purchased a few items for their mates. She left

the shop by herself and spotted a

men’s store. Witen she walked in, her gaze fixed on a watch. It sat gleaming in the case and was

absolutely lovely. She bit her lower lip as

she stared at the black card in her palm.

For several hours, the twin brothers had been discussing an issue that had emerged in the pack with the

affected pack members, now it was nearly nightfall. Everyone had returned to their work after the

resolution. However, at the moment all the ranking males of

the pack were gathered in their office. Tyler had begun to chat while he had been waiting for the meeting

to conclude after an Omega had served everyone coffee.

“I have taken note of the contract revisions you have indicated, but if you don’t mind adding anything

further to the contract, please

let me know.”

“I don’t expect any more changes since I’m no longer going to allow Grandpa or any of the other elders

to meddle in my affairs! That

will be the first and last time!” Xavier’s voice sounded even more rebellious. This pack had been formed

by his forefathers’ hard labor,

blood, and sweat, then the reins had been passed down to him and his brother. They could run it

however they saw fit. Even if some

conservative old males tried to stymie him. The twins had issued a warning to the pack’s elders, stating

that if their conduct did not improve or if they continued to intervene, the new regulations imposed on

them might be fatal.

When all the elders had turned pale, Xavier and Zander had smiled evilly. Yes, they were revered and

held authority, but they also

had boundaries and were not above the Alpha.

: “I need to conclude this meeting nonsense mating thing as quickly as possible before any of them try

another trick,” Xavier tapped

his finger on the table.

“I agree because if Grandpa senses anything out of the ordinary, Kiara may be in trouble. However, since

she’ll become your Luna

they can’t point a finger at her,” Zander said.

“Tyler, the contracts should be completed as quickly as possible.” Xavier gave the command.

“Alright, but will she sign the papers after she has read your terms and conditions?”

“She’s going to have to sign it!” With a growl, Xavier stopped his comment short. She had no idea what

type of restrictions and

conditions he had written into the contract, which had disturbed Kaiden and Tyler due to Kiara’s reaction

that morning.

“But Alpha, are you sure you don’t want her to have a check up?” Kaiden pointed out the need for a

physical examination of a female’s health prior to surrogacy in order for her to bear a healthy child.

“There is no need for that because no matter what the report’s findings are, I will not change my mind.

She is the only one that will

give birth to my child!” he declared. Zander gestured for Kaiden and Tyler to let it go for now, as Xavier

was becoming annoyed. He

realized there was nothing that could calm his brother since his thoughts were on someone else who had

been absent for hours.

Since the young female had left the pack, the Alpha had been staring at his watch. Kaide and Tyler were

also keeping an eye on the

time as none of the females had returned to the pack. Where had they gone? Xavier had been away

from the pack earlier, when he

returned he had become enraged when he couldn’t find Kiara. For a split second, he had considered the

possibility that she had fled. But

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

then he learned that the Luna had departed with Jennifer and Lena. After that, he had simply worked, he

hadn’t eaten, and just kept

staring at his watch. He became furious with each passing second since he could sense the young

female’s absence in the pack and

around him. Dean had been snarling and snapping at anyone since even the thought of her fleeing had

clouded their minds.

ears.

“Seems like the girl’s have come back,” Zander, who was seated near the window, stated this while

watching the females getting out of the car. Zander observed his brother immediately come to a halt.

Kaiden and Tyler dashed towards the window like lost puppies who had found their way back home.

When they saw their mates, their eyes lit up. Even though Kiara was far away, Xavier had caught her:

fragrance. Dean finally growled in relief, knowing she had returned and had not fled. Xavier relaxed his

muscles and began to exit the

room without looking out the window.

“Hmm, who is that male with Kiara?” Zander mumbled, but it was loud enough to reach Xavier’s ears.

When he heard about another

man, his legs came to a halt as if he had been paralyzed. When Kaiden and Tyler noticed Xavier

approaching, they quickly stepped away

from the window. When Cole’s hand brushed Kiara’s as he helped her with the bags, Zander put his palm

on his chest, observing his

brother’s dark enraged glare.

“Who is he?!” Xavier snarled. Kaiden knew this question had been coming, so he had mind-linked

someone who knew the answer

but he had gotten no clear response.

“Well, that is still unclear but he drove them today,” Kaiden explained, but it wasn’t enough to say why

that driver was so touchy with the Luna! Kiara had been chatting and laughing with him, which irritated

Xavier. Even Zander was irritated by the annoying young male who hung around the Luna. The Omega

had no idea that he was being watched by a set of enraged eyes. Xavier stormed out of the office

right away.

“Don’t forget this one, Kiara,” Cole reminded her as he handed Kiara her last bag.

“Your hands are so teeny-tiny. Do you require my assistance?” With a chuckle, the young wolf

volunteered his assistance.

“No, I can handle it. Thank you for your help today,” she smiled as she entered the pack house. She’d

never thought that she would

shop so much in her dreams. She regretted not enlisting Lena’s assistance instead she had sent her to

her room, but she was also

exhausted from the day’s activities. She placed all the begs on the sofa when she entered the room. But

she chose to pick up the box and

admired it for a few seconds. She moved to the table to put it down, but there was a tremendous bang on

the door that startled her.

What happened? She turned to face the door that Xavier had just entered.

“Where have you been?” The Alpha began to take large strides towards the young female, frightening

her to death. With Dean overpowering him, he looked like he was going to devour her whole.

“Shopping,” she answered as she rapidly retraced her steps. Why was he upset? Was it due to all the

money she had spent? She knew

that he’d be upset if she bought all of that expensive clothing. He had already stated that he would

provide her with necessities, but what

Lena and Jennifer had bought her was extravagant. Did he intend to teach her a lesson that would

remind her of her status here as a

surrogate?

The back of Kiara’s legs collided with the bed, causing her to fall over, but he did not stop. When he

followed her to the bed, she

hurriedly crawled back. She had nowhere to go now. When Xaiver was near, the fear of being beaten

overpowered her mind, Kiara held

her palm over her face, which had a little box in it.

“I apologize for spending your money. I swear I’ll return everything,” she clenched her fists and closed

her eyes. Her entire body trembled in terror. So quickly, the Moon Goddess drew her out of her fantasy

and brought her back to reality. She had braced herself for a blow when she was suddenly pulled closer

by Xavier’s large hand.

“Who is he?”

Kiara’s eyes opened, finding herself closer to Xaiver’s lips. They were literally less than a few inches

apart.

“Who?’ She murmured, still terrified of his wolf’s eyes. His aura was equally lethal.

“Who is the driver?” Why were you so close to him?” Xavier tightened his grip on Kiara’s arms.

“He was a classmate of mine. This was the first time we had seen each other in months since he

transferred schools, so we talked a

bit,” she continued, still perplexed. She assumed he was upset due to all the money she had spent, but

he was gathering information about the young male. Xavier let go of her arms as his wolf retreated, but

he remained staring into her wide eyes.

“Don’t leave the pack without telling me from now on,” his hands slipped down her arms and waist.

“Do you get what I’m saying?” Kiara shuddered, nodding. His touch made her feel so heated. She

couldn’t believe her body was on

fire as his finger stroked her lower belly before he got off of the bed. She had been holding her breath

until he vanished from the room.

What exactly was that? Why had he acted like a lunatic because she left without notifying him? She sat

on the bed, her palm over her

heart, now that he had left the room. Had it actually been fear, and if so, why had she felt something

between her legs?

She closed her legs, tp put an end to that strange sensation, only to discover that the box had vanished

from her grasp! Wait! Hadn’t she been holding it? Where had it gone? She searched the entire bed,

including under it, but it was gone. No! She couldn’t have possibly

lost it!
