Alpha’s Surrogate by POOJA

20. Mark me! “Stop her, Xavier. She is leaving,” Zander kept prompting Xavier, but Kiara was gone. He had not

stopped her.

With their soon-to-be Luna’s abrupt departure, the hall, which had been resonating with excitement and

gaiety, fell dead silent. What had happened? The young woman had just walked out of the pack house

without looking back, but she had left a slew of big

mouths to propagate rumors.

As they stared at Xavier standing there without Kiara, the Sirius Bright Pack’s sadness deepened. Why

hadn’t he stopped the Luna? He appeared to have lost something without her. His gaze had not left the

door for a moment, giving the impression that she had not departed alone, but had taken their Alpha’s

heart and soul with her. The other guests’ murmurs were picked up by Stephen’s ears.

“What exactly is going on?”

“How come the pack’s new Luna has run away her own marking ceremony?”

“I had a sneaking suspicion that something was awry. What was the use of pretending if there was no

marriage?”

“It seems that Alpha Xavier had never intended to obtain a Luna.”

Some of the other guests, who were notorious for gossiping, slandering, and spreading rumors, began to

open their big mouth. – Some of them were people who had planned to assault the Sirius Bright Pack in

the not-too-distant future. They had a satisfied look now that Xavier’s bride had fled. If he had marked

and accepted the Luna as a mate, they would have lost everything to the twin brothers.

Zander had already given them a lethal glare a while ago. He was going to ruin them, but everyone was

now secure. He still hadn’t found

his mate!!

Their smiling face turned pale, as they sweat profusely when they realized Beta Kaiden and Gamma

Tyler had seen their actions and

heard their comments. What were those assholes saying about their Alpha?! If looks could kill, they

would have died long ago! The typical repercussions and terror of their mistakes were obvious for a brief

period as they bit their lips and dropped their gaze. The more

renowned and dignified a person was, the more frivolous their habits!

Every curious and gobsmacked eye was focused on the green-eyed Alpha, who seemed like a wounded

animal that had been filled to the brim with seething wrath. His gaze had been perpetually drawn to the

door through which Kiara had exited. Dean had reached the

end of his patience, Xavier needed to act swiftly.

“What exactly is going on, Alpha? Why did Luna suddenly leave the ceremony and the pack house?”

One of the elders stepped forward to inquire.

“Jennifer! Lena! Bring that rat out of his hole!!”

Xavier yelled at the top of his lungs, frightening the elder who had come to ask his Alpha a question. The

elderly wolf swiftly stepped back from Xavier, as did the other pack members who had been surrounding

him. They all wanted their runaway Luna to return but no one dared to ask anything. What was going on?

Who had the Alpha been referring to as a rat?

Other elders observed Stephen, who had been unusually silent while observing the Luna’s departure.

How could that old wolf keep his cool? Hadn’t he been avoiding all inauspicious occasions? Why hadn’t

he made a fuss when Kiara abandoned his grandson?

“Aahh!” A painful groan pierced the air, drawing all attention to the side door of the ceremony hall. Where

Jennifer and Lena

dragged a middle-aged Sirius Bright Pack warrior brutally and threw him at Xavier and Zander’s feet. His

blood had stained the floor and terrified the heck out of his guests and the other wolves of the pack. Why

had the warrior been tortured in this manner? He looked more like a battered dog than a man. He raised

his swollen eyes to behold ruthless Alphas for mercy but Xavier’s foot slammed down onto his head

causing his head smash into the cold floor, breaking the tiles, making him bleed and hurting him more.

He screamed, his claws scratching the tiles unsuccessfully as he struggled. Guests put their hands over

their mouth in fear. What was going on? Zander smirked admiring his brother’s action. This was the

beginning of the process of releasing his accumulated rage.

“He’s the spy, Alpha! While notifying someone about Luna Kiara’s departure, we caught him red-handed.

He was laughing and

informing someone that the Luna had run away from you,” Jennifer updated Xavier,

already secretly on the phone with someone during the ring ceremony. He had communicated the news

of the ring ceremony and the

breakup of the marriage to a third party over the phone with great joy.

The warrior wolf tried to fight, even breaking his own phone, but he couldn’t compete with Lena’s fighting

skills. In the end, the

aggressive red-headed Gamma female broke his balls. She abandoned him, sobbing over his shattered

eggs. When he tried to swallow the SIM card, Jennifer had nearly choked him. She pushed her claws

into his cheeks as she yanked the card from his mouth, fracturing his nose in the process. Pregnancy

had never been an issue for her as long as her mate trusted her and allowed her to participate in the

special task assigned by the Alpha twins.

The spy’s attention had been drawn only to Kaiden and Tyler, as the Alphas had predicted, but he had

not anticipated that Xavier would assign the mission of capturing the pack’s rat to the Beta and Gamma

females. When people saw the spy’s damaged jaw and legs,

the chattering folks lost their shits. He couldn’t even crawl by himself. How ruthless might these ladies

be?

“Alpha… li…” The spy attempted to justify his actions, only to receive a severe kick in the head from

Xavier. He was tossed across the ground like a rag doll, crippled and on the verge of death. While taking

a long and furious breath, the green eyed Alpha’s gaze returned to the entrance through which his young

she-wolf had escaped. Even though he couldn’t see her, he could sense every step she took away from

him.

When Xavier had walked to his room through the back door to wash his face after puking, he had been

greeted with a mind-link from

Kiaden. Not just to Xavier, but also to Zander and Tyler.

Someone that was attending the ceremony had shared a photo of Kiara and Xavier kissing and

exchanging rings. That was not all,

every occurrence small and large that had occurred during the wedding had been relayed to someone

else. Simultaneously, there had

been an intelligence attempt to sabotage the marking ceremony by spreading rumors and asking

irrelevant questions about it. Stephen, who had joined the mind-link with his grandsons, revealed that the

rings had been stolen an hour before the ceremony, but Grandpa had a spare set of rings in the same

size and design in his pocket.

Someone had planned to ruin the wedding, but they had carefully kept their identity hidden among the

guests. There was only one way to find them: pretend to break up the marriage!

This strategy had been devised by all of the highest-ranking men. Zander had been aware of his

brother’s decision to let Kiara leave. Everyone had been acting, and it had worked because this

obnoxious rodent had been apprehended. Zander had already vented his rage

by kicking his stomach until he vomited a large amount of blood, which fulfilled the Alpha’s need for

vengeance at the moment. This

warrior had the audacity to betray his pack, his people, and his Alphas!

Xavier’s murderous hands stretched down and drew the bastard up to face him. The infuriated Alpha’s

long, sharp claws had come

out to dig deep into the low life’s flesh, causing him to bleed. He yelled at the top of his lungs,

desperately trying to save his life, but he

had already lost too much strength.

“Who are you working for?” Xavier’s menacing voice was slow and deep, yet there was a concealed

warning not to lie or he would

lose another ounce of his pathetic and desperate minute of his worthless life. The eyes of the middle-

aged guilty wolf were wide open, as

if they were about to jump out of his skull in terror. His frail frame trembled like a dried leaf. The moment

he resolved to defraud his

Alpha and pack flashed through his head, when he had accepted the dirty money he had already sealed

his death date and time.

“… I am sorry Alpha.”

“I don’t know him…” Xavier’s claws sunk further into the criminal’s neck as soon as he dared to repeat

those meaningless words,

which were certainly not the ideal responses to the short-tempered Alpha. The low-life wolf was turned to

face the guests in an instant, where Xavier’s other hand seized his hair, pulled his head up to the ceiling,

and tore his throat out in front of everyone. The last noises

from the wolf were those of blood gurgling as he took his final breath.

“What did you say? She ran away from me?” Xavier chuckled darkly into the dying wolf’s ears, still

grasping his hair and practically ripping his hair out of his head as his emerald eyes returned to the

entrance.

“She can’t even get away from me, not in her f*****g nightmares!” As the Alpha snapped his neck, he

spoke to the man’s ears. The

lifeless corpse collapsed onto the floor. A few young women cried in terror, attempting to hide behind

their mates so they wouldn’t.

witness the violence or Xavier’s monsterous actions.

he was capable of killing anyone who got in his way. Guests immediately cleared the path, letting the

Alpha vanish into the woods’ thick darkness. Dead quiet descended in the hall as they could only ask

themselves the questions they were dying to know. Where had the Alpha gone? Why was he so

enraged? The deceased spy could not be the only perpetrator.

Everyone, both familiar and unfamiliar with Xavier’s demeanor, was taken aback by what had just

happened. No one dared to so

much as glance at the carcass of the wolf laying on the ground covered in blood. Zander was irritated by

the filth on the floor.

“Move this body out of the hall as soon as possible and clean the floor!” The Alpha gave a vehement

order. This day should not have

ended in blood, a dead body, and the new Luna’s escape. He could tell his brother had gone insane over

his woman. If he couldn’t find her or she managed to flee the pack, Xavier would start killing people.

“Alpha, we were unable to obtain any information from him,” Kiaden was filled with remorse and hatred.

They were able to trace the spy but were ineffective at making him talk. He had been killed!

“Check his bank account and track the account number from which he received a large unexplained

deposit…” When a wolf’s growl

resonated over the woods, Zander came to a halt in his command.

“Who was that!” Tyler and Kiaden uttered as they took a cautious glance around. The Sirius Bright Pack,

as well as all of the guests,

were terrified. Zander moved closer to the entrance, his emerald eyes locked on the woods where he

had seen his brother go. It was most

certainly not Xavier’s growl. It was some unknown wolf! Because the entire pack was in the hall, who

was the other wolf in the woods? Was that an enemy of the pack that had attacked?

***

When Xavier arrived in the midst of the woods, tracking Kiara’s scent, his heart began to race. He could

sense that she was close by.

He could feel her every move. He had anticipated that she would not pass the territory boundary line. But

the bizarre thing was that her

rose and chocolate fragrance had become much stronger and more appealing than earlier, Dean had

become absolutely inebriated on it

as a result.

His wolf desired to take over his human, but the Alpha refused, increasing his speed until he heard the

lethal and vicious snarl of a

wolf that had broken into the forest. Xavier came to a complete stop and took a deep breath. Who was

this unknown wolf in his

territory?!

“Aahhh!!” When he heard the familiar voice, Xavier’s head snapped to the right as he hurried towards it.

What the heck was that individual doing in the middle of the forest at that precise moment? He followed

the screaming until he got to the center of the forest, where a wolf was staring at the young man who had

been sitting on the muddy ground, sweating and quivering before a savage

wolf.

“Alpha,” Cole’s gaze was drawn to Xavier, who charged into the terrible situation like a king. That’s what

he was to this pack and his

people. His eyes were locked on the wolf, whose eyes were the first thing that caused Xavier to blink in

admiration. The Omega shifted

his gaze between them. His Alpha’s emerald eyes shone with confidence! He’d now understood why this

man was known as the Alpha. He

had stepped forward to protect him despite Cole’s knowledge that Xavier had some unresolved issues

with him. Alpha stood between

the Omega and the invader, the ferocious, deadly wolf like a shield.

“Leave!” When he received his Alpha’s command, the young Omega’s shocked grey eyes looked at

Xavier. He ordered him to leave? Wouldn’t this unknown wolf murder him? Xavier’s massive body had

eclipsed the trembling Omega, allowing him to flee and escape the

scene.

“f**k off!” Xavier growled, gazing over his shoulder at the young boy, who sprang to his feet and ran

away. Cole had ended up in the

woods, drinking under the moonlight, after seeing the ring ceremony and Kiara’s kiss with Xavier. He’d

been so lost and depressed that

he hadn’t heard a wolf approaching. But he had no idea he’d be confronted by an unfamiliar and deadly

wolf that attacked him nearly twice. He hadn’t been able to get away from his claws fast enough! If

Xavier had not appeared, he would have been devoured by the

wolf.

Taking advantage of a second opportunity given to him by fate, the young man began to run quickly, but

his steps came to a stop in a flurry as soon as he heard Alpha whisper gently,”Kiara.”

Cole froze in horror, Kiara was lost in the woods? Where? He had to save her from the ferocious wolf or

she would be attacked. He

other than Kiara! But how exactly? Had she shifted? Why hadn’t he realized that the wolf was temale?!

Then he raised his eyes to the sky,

where the full moon was shining brightly. Obviously, she hadn’t been able to control her wolf side under

the full moon! She had reached

the age of 18, it was time for her first shift into her wolfl f**k! Obviously, he wouldn’t have been able to

beat an Alpha blood like her, and

his wolf had surrendered to her despite the fact that it was her first time shifting. But how had the Alpha

recognized her in her wolf form?

“Kiara, it’s me. Xavier…” The Alpha kept his gaze fixed on his lovely she-wolf, who had transformed

without her awareness. Dean took a step closer to observe his mate, causing Xavier’s eyes to shine. The

wolf was stunning, like her human counterpart! She had dark chocolatey eyes with golden flecks that

glowed with bloodlust. The chilly breeze that had passed through her silky snow-white fur kissed Xavier’s

skin and made him feel like he was in heaven. He had forgotten how to breathe after seeing her.

Obviously, it was an unexpected moment in her life, she had experienced physical agony when her

bones had fractured and

rearranged. Her shifting had heightened her scent, screaming that she was a virgin, unmated, and

unmarked she-wolf. She would easily draw any danger to her way. As the notion of Kiara being stolen by

another guy crossed Xavier’s thoughts, he clenched his palms at his sides. She was his woman! Only

his! Even though she was growling at him, he couldn’t help but step closer to her.

į Kiara had not anticipated running into Xavier again. Why was he here? She had informed her wolf that

they would never see their

mate again once she had left the pack house. Venus had become enraged, insane, and aggressive at

the idea. The wolf had also witnessed

that their mate had not intervened. He allowed them to leave. He hadn’t wanted them. Kiara was pleased

that she shifted, even though

it hurt, since it meant that she could protect herself from attackers after she left the Sirius Bright

Pack.Wolf always desired blood after.

the first shift, that’s what Venus and Kiara were up to. Their minds had been taken over by blood lust.

She wanted to leap on the Alpha in

front of her because he smelt so good, orange and whisky. Her mouth watered again, like it had

previously. However, she couldn’t take

her mate’s blood. She couldn’t take anything from him since she’d learnt that he wasn’t hers. She was

heartbroken but she refused to

show it.

Xavier saw Kiara’s step back. She intended to sprint to the other side of the clearing, if she did, she

would be able to escape the

pack!

“Stop!” She had already fled, just as he had predicted. Kiara ran for about half a minute before

transforming into her human form. She might murder several innocent people if she stayed in her wolf

form. The first shift had sapped all of her energy and strength. She

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

was dizzy and exhausted. After leaving the territory, she had decided to go hunting.

She had nowhere to go, but she could live alone in the woods as long as Venus was with her, but

Xavier’s arrival reminded her of

everything that had happened that night. She refused to let her tears fall from her eyes as she continued

walking miserably on her trembling legs. Soon, everything became blurry before her eyes, as she began

to drop to the ground. Until the big bad Alpha leapt in front of her, pulling her up into his embrace before

she collapsed onto the ground.

“Didn’t you hear me? Didn’t I tell you to stop?” Staring down at her crimson face, he asked. Kiara

attempted to open her eyes, feeling

comfortable in her mate’s embrace. She had her head on his chest, where she could hear his heartbeat.

Why was his heartbeat so rapid,

as if he was scared?

“I have no reason to stop,” Xavier heard Kiara’s whisper as he felt her naked breasts against his. f**k! He

was getting hard! His hand wove itself into her hair, gently clutching at it. As his arm curled tightly around

her tiny waist, her small face turned up to gaze at his

face.

“Taste my blood,” he stated this as his greedy eyes moved from her breast to her lips. Kiara was stunned

by Xavier’s proposal. What

exactly had he said?

“I can’t,” she shook her head.

“I will find a substitute,” the young woman insisted, but the Alpha scowled. What exactly had she meant

by “substitute”? Would she

feed herself with the blood of another man?! With those grim thoughts, Xavier’s expression darkened.

Kiara felt him raise her nude legs up and securely wrap them around his waist.

“Nothing can substitute me in your life,” he whispered, staring at her rosy lips hungrily as his large hands

cradled her hips, firmly holding her. Her gaze was fixed on him as she put her hands around his neck.

“Do it,” One of his hands moved her tenderly to his neck, where he encouraged her to taste his blood. He

moaned internally as soon as Kiara’s lips brushed his sensitive marking spot. Dean pushed his neck

against the softness of her lips, waiting for her canine teeth to sink into his flesh, but Kiara seemed taken

aback. If she buried her canines into his neck, she may inadvertently mark him. It was a huge risk. She

remained staring at his marking spot, swallowing her lust, and suffering. It was torturous to be so close to

your mate but unable

to mark him.

“Do it!” Xavier continued, yearning for it. But Kiara bit her lip, shedding tears on his shoulder helplessly.

The Alpha clasped her hair once again, drawing her close to his face, admiring her tear-streaked red

cheeks. His heart skipped a beat as he saw her desperate gaze. Kiara closed her eyes with a pained

moan when she felt his sharp canines plunge deep into her marking spot. What was he doing? He

delved further and deeper until he located the spot. Kiara moaned loudly as his canines pulled out of her

skin, then he kissed and sucked her sensitive skin.

“Mark me!” Xavier led her back to his neck. The young miss who had been lost in pleasure and pain had

not realized when her wolf

sunk her canines into her mate’s neck, marking him deep into his soul and forever sealing their bond.

She licked the spot closed. Xavier

tightened his grasp on Kiara’s hot little shaking body, sighing in ecstasy. He was puzzled over how the

marking could be so pleasurable.

Their bond drew them closer until they had become one.

When Kiara had finished tasting his blood and marking him, Xavier’s eager hands let her body fill his

arms. Her eyes were closed as she struggled to take a breath. She was exhausted, yet she could feel

herself in a possessive grip that was taking her someplace. She : blinked, her eyes open to find Xavier.

He drew her up even higher, causing her to wrap her arms around his neck.

“Where are you taking me?” She wondered, not looking anywhere except at him.

“Back to the pack house. Who told you, you can leave?” He lifted his brows in a challenge but was

unable to intimidate her. Had she

forgotten about his pledge to catch her if she tried to leave?

“You don’t want me,” she reminded him. Returning to his world was pointless since he didn’t desire her.

“I don’t want a mate,” he reminded her.

ház “Aren’t those things the same?” She questioned. The Alpha came to a halt and looked down at her

giving her his entire

attention.

“I don’t need a mate, but I do need a surrogate. Our contract is still in effect and it will not be terminated

until you deliver me a pup.

I haven’t changed my mind,” he said quietly, his gaze fixed on her leaning against his chest.

“Does that imply we’ll be together for a year, like you said?” She inquired, raising his heartbeat with her

innocence. His body was on

fire as a result of her doing so.

“Yes, only for a year,” he cleared his throat and resumed walking. Kiara smiled as she nodded her head.

It appears that the Moon. Goddess granted her permission to remain with her mate for a year regardless

of her position as a surrogate. It was preferable to

rejection, even if it was only for a few months, Kiara wanted to enjoy her mate’s warmth not to be greedy.

It was enough for her because

she had never anticipated anything greater from her life.

“And even if I had known this from the beginning…” Kiara lifted her gaze up when she noticed he had

been giving her the answer

that she had cut off back on the stage. Xavier paused and halted his walk to look down at the angel in his

arms. Her big eyes were curious

and beautiful.

“I would have chosen only you, no other woman,” he assured her, capturing her lips softly. Kiara closed

her eyes, losing herself to

him.
