Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 26
Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 26
26. A dead body
two days had gone by. Kiara had begun taking her online sses, which kept her upied most of the
time. She had always been
focused on her studies. It was clear that the brand newptop was really useful. The youngdy picked
it up fast as well.
Fortunately, due to her status as the Luna, her responsible and gorgeous Beta and Gamma females
would not allow their Luna to
perform any household work, even washing her bedding and clothes. An Omega woulde to the
room twice a day. The new Luna had
been provided meals three times a day, on schedule. All of her friends would join her at the dinner
table. She had to confess that being
here hadpletely transformed her life, she had respect, authority, and power. She had not been
treated like a ve in the Ardara
Moon Pack since Martha would not have allowed anybody to torture her daughter simply because
Sawyer felt she was bad luck, but Kiara
had needed to perform all of her own chores. It had been a wonderful way for her to spend her time.
Inparison, she was treated like a goddess in Sirius Bright Pack these days. The pack’s female
elders came to see their young
Luna. They hadn’t gotten enough time to meet with her at the marking ceremony since it was full of so
many twists and turns with Luna’s
escape and the spy’s death. Fortunately, none of those old she wolves put her to the test. Instead,
everyone of them had appreciated her for her ability tomunicate and respect her elders. The old
ladies of the pack had been pleased by the young woman’s ability to listen
patiently to everyone’s advice and issues while also expressing her own ideas.
The oue of this small meeting had enthralled the pack’s other females, who had wanted to pay
their respects to their Luna.
Kiara had begun to learn a lot about the pack’sws and regtions from Jennifer and Lena. The Beta
and Gamma females had gradually
realized that the youngdy who had shown them her calm, quiet, yet youthful side was fully capable of
dealing with pack members. Her
maturity could not be defined by her age.
Kiara was unable to meet with anybody during her lessons and other little chores that she had picked
up with the aid of Jennifer and
Lena. The young woman devised a n to visit the pack on Sunday, which was an excellent
opportunity for her to engage with the other
pack members. It was also one of Kiara’s responsibilities that she had been dreading. She wished to
make new friends.
While the she-wolf was learning and adapting to the new pack’s environment and norms, she had
noticed a change in her sister’s
behavior. Adira’s phone number had abruptly changed. Yes, the reason for this was Noah. That mad
dog had been giving her a hard time, but Adira was not giving up on Kiara and had refused to cut
contact with her sister, but now their discussions had be nearly
non existent.
The bulk of their conversations were done via message, but only at night. She was told not to contact
Adira. Kiara sensed her sister
was concealing something farrger than herself. Talking to her mother wasn’t going to help because if
Sawyer found out Martha was talking to their second daughter they would get into a major fight,
something Kiara didn’t want. Something like this made Kiara concerned about her mother and sister,
distracting her from her new life. But what if something had gone wrong? She had thought that she had
fixed everything when she had left her old pack with Xavier, but it did not seem like everything had
gone ording to her
n.
“Please, Adira, don’t keep anything from me,” Kiara murmured. How could she possibly help her? She
wished she could go back to
her old pack and double-check.
Because she had no other means to find out the truth, the young woman felt helpless and a bit
disappointed. She couldn’t force Adira to talk until she was ready. Unfortunately, Martha and Adira were
kiara’s only friends, they were everything to her. Which meant
there was no one in the pack that she could contact to tell her what was happening in the Ardara Moon
Pack.
Kiara had also noted Xavier’s unusual behavior in addition to Adira’s issue. She hadn’t heard from him
since the morning after the
marking ceremony. She had only seen his face two or three times over thest couple of days.
Sometimes he was seen chatting with
Stephen about something in the pack house’s office, other times he was spotted walking towards the
parking lot. He’d been preupied
with his Beta, Gamma, and other warriors all the time.
But the weirdest part was that he would leave the dining room before she had evene down for her
meal, or he would not appear
at all. On the other hand, even if Kiara passed in front of him, he would no longer spare a nce at her.
Jennifer told her that the twin
Kiara had been willing to ept that he must have been exhausted that night because he had not
come to their room. But when he
did not return the next day, she could no longer ignore it. During Xavier’s absence of two days and two
nights, his scent gradually faded
from the room, while Kiara’s attention was constantly drawn to Alpha’s unusual behavior.
When she needed books and stationery, she had chosen to go to the market to get them. Instead,
Gamma Tyler had them in her
hand in less than 2 hours. There was tension building in the pack that the young woman was unaware
of, but she could see that Xavier
did not want her to leave the territory. He wasn’t around her, so how could he know what she needed?
The Beta and Gamma duo were always there to aid her whenever she needed it. Xavier never
appeared, but Gamma Taylor took his
ce. Was the Alpha displeased with her? Had she made some kind of mistake? Or had she done
something that had made him
unhappy?
Ignoring eye contact, refusing to acknowledge her existence, and declining to return to their bedroom
even at night made the young
woman anxious. Was it due to the fact that he hadn’t been able to have two or more rounds with her
that night? Had she not been able
to satisfy him? Or had she not been his match in bed?
Should she have let him have his way with her even if she was exhausted? He hadn’t seemed to have
any issues at the time, right? Or
had it just been because he had grown tired of her? Perhaps that was the exnation. Kiara hadn’t
wanted to feel used and thrown away. Just like Noah had done to her when he hadn’t wanted Kiara to
inform their father that he had bullied an Omega so badly that the poor
girl had attempted suicide.
Sawyer had been enraged and thoroughly researched the situation at the time. The only witness to that
incident had been the
family’s younger daughter. The terrified heir apparent had lost his s**t because if the Alpha discovered
his crime, he would never grant his
Alpha status to his son, who had beaten and bullied his own pack member for no reason.
Kiara had been 15 years old at the time, she had been easily manipted by her older brother, who
had begun to disy his nice
side and devotion to his mistreated sister. Noah revealed his true colors to Kiara the very moment the
case had been closed in ack of evidence. That had been the first and only time he had raised a hand
to her and threatened her with never opening her mouth or telling their parents about his nasty secret.
Kiara was dragged back to reality when she realized she had been used and dumped.
People would benefit from her first, then they would constantly push her away. Kiara felt the same way
as a result of Xavier’s actions.
Not even wanting it to, a thought had crossed her mind that perhaps Xavier had only desired her
virginity, which he had obtained, so now
she had been cast away.
Kiara expected to have a decent conversation concerning Xavier’s surprising behavior toward her. She
had suppressed her irritation
for a good amount of time. She had be determined to speak out first if he would not change his
attitude! She hadn’t even smelled
him around the pack house today. He hadn’t evene back for breakfast.
It was equally as likely that she had been overthinking and that he was really preupied with work.
Kiara turned off herptop
since she couldn’t concentrate on her schoolwork any longer. One of the reasons was that she had
missed a few sses from the previous
semester, making it difficult for her to grasp the new concepts.
She required a clear understanding, she needed to collect notes from the previous semester and speak
with a couple of her
ssmates. But would she be allowed to leave the pack? She had the impression that Xavier was not
on the pack grounds, so she
couldn’t obtain his approval. That’s when Kiara had an idea. There was someone who could supply her
with the notes she needed!
“Where are you going, Kiara? I thought you had sses, “Jennifer questioned as she saw her Luna
hurrying down the stairs.
“Yes, but I was confused and needed some notes. Do you have any clue where Cole could be at this
time?”
“This morning, he drove Lena somece. Perhaps they’ve returned. He’s probably in the parking lot.
Should I call the Omega for
you?” Jennifer asked, immediately starting to mind-link, but she was stopped by Kiara.
“There’s no need to summon him. I want to talk to him on my own. I also have some issues that I need
to discuss with him directly,”
the young she-wolf excused herself with a small soft smile, then departed from the pack house in
search of the Omega, who was actually
in the parking lot.
The young man was washing one of the luxury cars of the pack’s ranked wolves.
“Kiaral” Cole was taken aback for a few seconds. The sudden visit of the pack’s new luna surprised the
Omega, who had too many
eyes on him.
“How can I help you, Luna?” The young wolf instantly dropped his head, correcting his earlier mistake
of addressing her by name.
The rumors in the pack were notorious for spreading like wildfire. If Alpha caught wind of it and learnt
that the Omega called his Luna by
name, he’d be in big trouble.
“Are you upset with me because I attempted to attack you? I wanted to express my heartfelt apologies
for that mishap. That day,
went insane and couldn’t recognize you. I had no intention of hurting you. I apologize once more”
“I’m not mad at you at all! I’m also aware that the first shift requires blood. I’ve been through it myself.
What you did was amon
urrence, but you kept your cool and did not attack me. Yes, I was concerned since I hadn’t identified
you. If I had known that Wolf was
you, I would have given you all of my blood. I’ll never be mad at you.”
Cole’s emotions were all over the ce, and his eyes were warmer than his words. If he’d realized he’d
have given her all of his
blood?! Had she heard that correctly? Kiara blinked as she witnessed his genuineness, unexpected
feelings, andmitment to her. It
felt like it was more than just a friendly vibe.
Kiara cleared her throat slightly, which made Cole realize what he had said. He only scratched the back
of his neck as he looked down
at the ground, unable to exin the full meaning of hisments.
“If you’re not offended, why did you call me Luna?” The young woman chose to disregard some of the
things he had said and cease
overthinking the significance of his remarks as she continued her talk with the Omega, who raised his
eyes in astonishment.
“I don’t want to perish at the hands of the Alpha if he overhears me calling you by your name,” he freely
expressed his dread of Alpha Xavier. Previously, he had been an unnoticed member of the pack, but
Kiara’s presence in Xavier’s life has told Cole that the Alpha clearly
has something against him in his mind. The Alpha was not fond of the young wolf! His eyes told him all
that he needed to know. He was
never required to speak it aloud.
“Why are you terrified of Alpha when I am the one who is allowing you to address me by my name?
You are my friend. If you don’t
want me to stop talking to you or our friendship toe to an end, keep calling me Kiara. Otherwise I’ll
justpletely ignore you.”
“No! Please don’t disregard me, Kiara,” Cole became petrified. In an instant, her threat had struck his
heart and head like poison. He
felt as if he had lost his very purpose of existence.
“That’s great!” Kiara smiled triumphantly as he finally conceded defeat and addressed her as she
wished. Cole couldn’t help but
blush as he spotted Kiara shing her gorgeous smile, just for him. The young man’s blushing face had
drawn the attention of passing
she-wolves. No question, he had be handsome like he was from a rich family!
“Now that we’ve cleaned things up between us, I’d like you to never apologize to me again in rtion to
this situation,” Cole
urged.
“All right,” the young woman agreed with a little giggle and a quick nod.
“I came to you for another purpose, anyways. Actually, I require your help.”
“Don’t put it off! You may ask me anything, I would even rip my chest open and give you my heart…”
The young man bit his lower lip
as he realized he had continued to make the same blunder again and again.
“Please don’t take me seriously, I was only kidding”. He used his intellect and dealt with the issue as
soon as it became
ufortable.
“So, what do you need from me?” He lifted his brow and grinned at the young woman who rolled her
eyes.
“Your notes from the previous semester. Are those notes still in your possession?” The young man
observed her eager choctey
eyes, which filled him with happiness. He couldn’t resist, and it made his heartbeat quick.
“I have them, but they’re at my house,” Cole averted his gaze, rubbing his cheeks and refusing to
blush. She had a wonderful scent!
But now that her smell had been blended with Xavier’s, Cole felt as if she were never alone. That the
Alpha was always around her, which
made his heart hurt. She had be Xavier’s.
“Would you mind letting me borrow them? I’m having troubleprehending the concepts because I
skipped some lessons that!
“There is no need for you to return the notes to me. You may keep them forever, since you know
everything is stored in my brilliant
mind.” The young wolf offered a powerful smirk to the youngdy who had always adored the head of
the ss. Cole had always been the
best student and had been a huge help to her in school.
“Okayl” Kiara narrowed her eyes at him.

“Don’t give me a death re because I know you’ll return them to me. I swear I’ll never brag again,” he
chuckled as he led her to his
ce. They spoke about their time together in school and a few other topics on the way until Kiara
noticed a crowd in front of a
particr house.
“What’s going on over there?” She inquired, taking a few steps close to it then stopping when she
observed a dead body in front of
the house. She had no idea what gender the dead wolf was, but a middle aged woman, a little girl, and
a boy had been wailing close to
the deceased woll.
“This urred approximately a half-hour ago; perhaps that is why you haven’t been notified about it
until now.” Cole began to exin to the young woman who had been uninformed of the disaster with a
sorrowful smile and a low voice.
“How did he die?”
“He was killed,” he interrupted her.
“Who killed him?!” The youngdy scowled. The dead woll’s family appeared distraught and
impoverished. The Luna, despite her kind nature, couldn’t stand to see their tears. The little girl had
been strong enough to try to help her mother keep herself upright.
“It was a vampire attack.”
“What? Vampires killed him? But why?”
“I don’t know, but there were reports that a vampire had been sighted near our territory, and now
they’ve killed one of our pack
members,” Cole paused before continuing.
“He was one of the guards that patrolled the territory. His corpse was discovered close to the border.
The worst thing is that he was
his family’s sole means of ie. His wife used to work as a chef in the pack house a few years ago,
but she quit after having those
adorable children. That she wolf, though, will most likely not be the same after her mate’s death. She
has lost the other half of her
soul.”
Cole expressed this while watching the different expressions flicker across Kiara’s face. They were a
combination of sadness and rage. The youngdy had only been there for a few days, but she had
been paying attention to her people, who were always nice to her. A
death amongst them was uneptable to her.
“The Alpha has arrived. Everyone is required to resume their work immediately,” Tyler ordered as the
Alpha twins approached the
residence where one of their warriors had been found dead. The sobbing she-wolf rose from the
ground, bowing to Xavier and Zander,
who had only learned of the news 5 minutes earlier when their car approached the pack house.
“Take this woman back to her home and stay with her for a while,” Xavier suggested. Lena attempted to
quiet the weeping woman’s
children as she escorted them all inside the house until they finished their work. Jennifer remained with
her mate, who had knelt on the
ground beside the body.
Xavier and Zander stood there watching Kaiden examine the mark on the dead wolf’s neck,
“He was bitten by a vampire,” The Beta verified based on the mark and the stronger smell of the
venom.
“That indicates that The Vampire King is viting our peace treaty! That young man was not lying when
he said there were vampires
on ournd. Now they have begun to murder our people,” Tyler spoke up after observing the Alphas’
shifting expressions.
“Thad previously guessed that the spy had been paid by someone wealthy. Therge sum of money
that had been ced in his
ount, the burner phone that the other person had been using, and now this murder all point to a
vampire being behind it all. Our
adversary’s n is not that of a normal individual. Alfred, the Vampire King, is begging for warl” Zander
snarled.
The Sirius Bright Pack valued every wolf in the pack, whether they were high or low ranked. The
Alphas were never willing to let
them be harmed. Seeing one of his trusted men dead infuriated Xavier, The howls of the deceased
wolf’s mate and children continued to
“Send his body to our medics for a postmortem, Kaiden. If it is confirmed that he is behind this murder
and installing spies in my
pack, the Vampire King Alfred will have a taste of his own medicine!” Xavier said.
“Yes, Alpha!” The Beta motioned to another guy to carry the deceased wolf to the pack hospital.
“Tyler, order our ountant to get his ass to my office. This family will be provided substantial
compensation. We will cover all of their expenditures. We will pay for their schooling and other
expenses until theyplete their degrees and obtain suitable jobs.” Zander’s deration was well
received by the rest of the pack members. The dead body had been removed, but Xavier was still
thinking about all the missing pieces of the puzzle.
“But I’m still perplexed as to why they broke the peace treaty. It’s not like the all-powerful Vampire King
Alfred is oblivious of our power. Why would he purposely antagonize us? What exactly does he want
from us?” Tyler raised a legitimate question that drew
everyone’s attention.
“They began wandering about our region three to four days ago. It suggests they’re after something we
didn’t always have but now
do,” Xavier’s thoughts are triggered by Zander’s remarks. Dean began to howl as the Alpha wolf
detected the familiar scent of rose and chocte, indicating the presence of their mate nearby.
The Alpha lifted his head and turned to the right. His green eyes locked with the choctey ones, who
had previously heard every
word they had spoken. When Cole’s face emerged in front of him, a spark of rage ignited in his blood.
“Why the f**k is he always around her!!” Dean roared. He’d been dealing with that young annoying wolf
hanging around Kiara a few
days earlier, but now that the Alpha Wolf was aware of the reality of his woman, he couldn’t see them
together. Xavier clenched his palms
again, holding his gaze at Kiara, who gave him a rebellious look before walking away.
f**k! How dare she ignore the Alpha? And why the f**k did that asshole follow her like a dog?!
