Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 13
13. Take responsibility
Kiara’s ice cream melted before her eyes, rendering it inedible not that she had even dared to move the spoon from the dish
even once. How could she even consider eating them when she had committed an irreparable crime due to her own hasty
judgment and folly?
She had hurled a shampoo bottle at the Alpha!!! Not only that, but she had yelled at him, raised her voice, then demanded that
he leave
his own room!
“What the f**k I have done!” She yanked at her hair. When the Alpha left the bathroom, the young she wolf had realized that she
had
messed with the wrong person. It had been all her fault for not securely locking the bathroom door, but in her despair and
anxiety, she had blamed him then punished him as well. Since then she had cursed herself for being a fool numerous times.
She had chewed off her fingernails while sitting on the bed waiting for his return. It was midnight, yet sleep was not closer than if
it was noon. All of her attention was concentrated solely on the door, through which the grumpy Alpha would enter the room to
unleash his
wrath on her. Her peace of mind had grown wings taking flight from her person then continued to weave and evade her grasp at
every
turn when she tried to collect it.
Kiara’s terror had intensified as the night unfolded, but Xavier had not returned to the bedroom, implying that he was going to
return with a storm. She knew she’d done wrong by hurling a shampoo bottle at him, and she felt terrible about it. Instead of
fright and
anxiety, she had resolved to apologize to him, but her face grew bright red as a tomato when she realized he had seen her
naked.

While rolling on the bed concealing her face in her palms, she let out a furious but cathartic sigh. She knew that wouldn’t be able
to look him in the eyes without recalling how she had been completely exposed in front of him! In actuality, she was embarrassed
more
than she was scared. She had finally managed to relax her body and laid down on the bed, staring up at the ceiling as she
waited for
Xavier.
When he had not returned after another hour of waiting, she had become concerned. Had she hurled the shampoo bottle so hard
that he had been in so much pain that he had needed to go to the hospital? No, that would no more quickly than any other wolf.
Secondly, a shampoo bottle would only sting him like an ant bite. Getting out of bed, she made her way to the door, she was
determined to find out why he hadn’t returned to their room.
She was astonished to find the lights turned on throughout the pack house as she descended the stairs. What was going on?
Why
were so many people awake so late at night? No sounds had reached her in the room, but the scene changed as soon as she
entered the
corridor. The main entrance of the pack house was open, but Jennifer and Leena were spotted wandering the hall.
“Jennifer, what’s going on here? Is there something wrong?” Kiara had placed her hands over her arms, worried about standing
in
front of the others in her sleeveless top and little shorts that she had typically worn in her pack, but she had no idea how these
people dressed at night. Fortunately, she didn’t look odd because Lena was wearing more exposing clothing than her. Jennifer
had been wearing
a knee-length nightgown covering her big belly.
“Kiara, we thought you were sleeping,” Jennifer exclaimed as she approached the young female watching as a couple of males
sprint
out of the pack house.

“I couldn’t fall asleep. I had been waiting for the Alpha to return, but he never did, so I came down to check on him. But what
exactly is going on?”
“Vampires have been spotted close to our territory. An alert has been issued to the entire pack. As soon as they learnt about
vampires Kaiden, Taylor, and the Alphas set out to investigate. We woke up with our mates. Because you were so weary, we
didn’t want to
wake you up.”
Kiara was taken by surprise when she learned about the vampires. Fortunately, Ardara Moon pack had never been attacked by a
vampire, nor had she ever encountered one. There was quite a commotion in the pack as the situation was quite serious. The
Beta and Gamma females had been awaiting the return of their mates. They didn’t appear frightened, but rather certain of their
safe return. It gave an excellent and demonstrated impression that even though vampires were a threat the pack members were
prepared to face them at any time. Lena had wanted to go with Tyler, but she had stayed at the pack house in case Jennifer had
needed her.
stupid to suggest that anyone go back to sleep as the unexpected news had snatched everyone’s sleep until the problem had
been resolved. Kiara glanced at her watch, finding that it was already 2 a.m.
“Is this Sirius Bright Pack’s first vampire attack?” Kiara sat on the sofa across from the two ranked females.
“There were numerous vampire strikes on the pack before, but that was when we didn’t have a covenant with the Vampire King,”
Jennifer began to explain.
“Wait a second! Do you mean the Vampire King Alfred?”
“Yes,” the Beta female answered, observing her Luna’s shocked look, which made her smile a little. The young female had no
comprehension of the might and strength of the Sirius Bright Pack and the twin Alphas.
“Both the Alphas formed a peace agreement with the Vampire King two years ago to cease their hostility and alienation as the
slaughter was unmanageable and neither of the groups wanted to lose their men in battle. However, it continued after the
signing. There have been no vampire attacks in the last two years, but no one knows why the rules are being ignored on their
end,” Kiara paid close
attention to everything Jennifer explained to her.

She couldn’t believe it when she heard that the Sirius Bright Pack had reached an agreement with the vampires. It was not in
every Pack’s best interests to compete with them. Vampires were known for annihilating small packs, like the Ardara Moon Pack,
in a single
night. Despite the peace treaty, a sighting of some near the border was cause for concern.
“Jennifer,” Kiara was curious about the vampire and pack’s relationship but then she noticed Jennifer and Lena had been
mind-linking with someone. As a result, she waited patiently.
“The problem is solved,” Lena was the first to speak to Kiara, which gave her some relief. Vampires were really bad news!
“The Alpha has handled the situation and the security of the pack. They all are returning now,” Jennifer informed her with a smile
as
they rose from their seats.
“Finally, I’ll be able to sleep peacefully,” Lena yawned. Jennifer giggled and agreed with her as all the ladies went back to their
rooms
as their mates were on their way.
Kiara returned to her room but continued to stare at the door like she had earlier. Was the problem truly resolved? They were
vampires! She leaned back and sighed deeply. Well, she shouldn’t think about the other issues when the time that had been
allotted to her by the Alpha was going to expire soon. He planned to mark her.
“Excellent work, boys. Everyone should now get some sleep. We can discuss it when we wake up,” Xavier dismissed the wolves
who had assisted him in his investigation. Everyone went back to their homes.
“What a waste of time! The information was fake,” Tyler grumbled as he followed the Alphas to the pack house. His eyes showed
signs of sleep deprivation, he wished he could hurry to his room so that he could climb in bed alongside his mate, but he had
chosen to
join the Alpha brothers with Beta Kaiden.
“But it also makes me skeptical. Yes, the male who told us about the vampires was young, but that doesn’t imply that he just
made

them up,” Kaiden remarked.
“But how is it possible that whenever we go to investigate, we can’t smell them? The smell that emanates from the bodies of
those living corpses usually reaches us from afar. So how will you explain their disappearance?” Tyler claimed that was okay and
Kaiden agreed, although he had some reservations.
“Enough,” Xavier and Zander, who had been walking ahead and listening to both of their arguments, came to a halt and turned to
face their Beta and Gamma.
“We may discuss that in our meeting. Let’s go get some sleep,” Zander made a suggestion as they all went to their own rooms.
Xavier was sweaty and stinky from his wolf shifting and running around, so he opted not to lie on the bed so that he would not
risk disturbing the female who must be fast asleep on it. He was too lazy to take another shower in the middle of the night, so he
would sleep
on the sofa.
Xavier entered his room but had not turned on the lights and sat down on the sofa. It had been his years-long habit not to turn
them
would invariably tind her exhaustedly asleep in the bed. Even it he had wanted to make love with her, she would never have
refused it,
but her energy would have been different than when they were newly married.
Xavier chuckled bitterly, leaning his head against the sofa, finally realizing that she had been fatigued because she must have
had sex
with Orion while he was gone. His nails dug into his palm as he clenched his list. The b***h had not cared if he returned or not!
She never
waited for his return! Kiara’s tranquil breathing caught Xavier’s attention, but it was not coming from the bed but from someplace
else. Xavier used his wolf’s vision to see that the young she-wolf had been sleeping on the sofa opposite him.
Why had she been sleeping on the couch? Was he hallucinating her? No, it was true. He took a deep breath keeping his gaze
fixed on

her. She didn’t have a pillow or any blankets. Her long, smooth legs were exposed to his hungry sight, reminding him of her
earlier nakedness. She’d been sleeping on her arm, which offered him a wonderful view of her boobs that had collided. How
careless could this female be? Due to her own negligence with her choice of garments, her sleeping posture was rather
provocative. It was evident from the
way she was sleeping that...
Had she been awaiting him? But why? Xavier crossed his knees and draped his arms over the back of the sofa. The sleeping
beauty
had no idea that the Alpha had sat in the dark like a king watching her with his wolf.
Kiara felt her body being gently raised into the air, yet the warm embrace around her body was so familiar to her that she simply
wanted to sink further into it. It was something that she had always desired in her life. She had never been so lovingly caressed
before.
This had not been done for her by anyone else before. What type of dream was this? She didn’t want to wake up. Despite the
fact that she
could feel her body being placed on the warm bed, she had not opened her eyes. No, this wasn’t a dream. It felt real. Was it...
Xavier? It
was his enigmatic fragrance. His warmth was something she would ever get anywhere else. It should be a dream. She drew
closer to the
source of this amazing feeling as the authoritative touches to her body caused her heartbeat to race.
“Shouldn’t you at least open your eyes?” Kiara squeezed her palm even tighter, which had already been holding Xavier’s shirt.
He had known she was awake when he had placed her on the bed. When she realized she wasn’t dreaming, the young she-
wolf’s heartbeat
accelerated. She cautiously opened her eyes to discover his green hungry gaze staring into hers. His hand had been resting on
her waist,
their bodies not even a whisper apart.

“Are you in pain?” Kiara murmured, her eyes traveling up to Xavier’s forehead, where she had hit him. It appeared to be still
crimson.
Her hand reached up to care for the Alpha’s injured flesh, which caused him to moan. Her gentle touch had sparked a fire in his
body.
Why hadn’t he healed himself? Or could he not?
“Yes, it hurts,” he admitted as his hot breath seductively caressed Kiara’s lips. She drew her gaze away from his forehead to
return it to his eyes. The Alpha noticed a layer of guilt in his female’s chocolatey eyes, that she had immediately lowered.
“I am sorry,” she drew her hand back and moved away from him. The Alpha’s hand slid around her round hips, bringing her back
to
her position, but closer than before. Kiara’s breast crashed into Xavier’s muscular chest, causing her to flinch due to the
response of her
own body. What had that sensation been? When her lower body met his, she realized that he was rock hard!
“Take responsibility,” Xavier demanded, grasping her hips more firmly. Kiara’s eyes widened in alarm as she felt his monster
begging
to emerge from his pants.
“How?” She asked. How could she take responsibility? As the Alpha’s lips made contact with hers, she quickly closed her eyes.
In a panic, she placed her hand on his chest. Was this how she was supposed to take responsibility? Her hand had moved up to
his chest, but it was pinned between them as the Alpha climbed over her deepening the kiss.
She remembered the kiss she had shared with him in Ardra Moon Pack’s spooky room. It was the same as before, but far wilder
than
before. Kiara relaxed her body after a few seconds opening her mouth for him to taste her tongue, which he instantly took
advantage of
dominating her mouth. His grip on her waist tightened. The young she-wolf who had never been treated so gently had completely
lost

her wits as a result of the desire that had taken over her heart and body. What exactly was this? She had never felt this way
before. Kiara hissed when Xavier bit her lower lips, but she opened her eyes as well. When reality struck the young she wolf’s
mind, the Alpha was already there peering into her eyes.
“I thought I was just a surrogate,” she abruptly broke the kiss. He had left her gasping for air.
“Didn’t I say that I’d make the rules?” Xavier took a deep and heavy breath, his gaze fixated on her red lips, which demanded his
attention once again.
“And what exactly are those rules?” She demanded.
“You’ll discover them tomorrow morning,” he assured her as his lips captured hers. What exactly had he meant? Kiara closed her
eyes. She had no idea what type of surrogate she was.
