Accidental Surrogate for Alpha novel Chapter 394

#Chapter 394 – Family Reunited Ella

I get tenser and tenser as the minutes pass, and I can feel Sinclair behind me likewise desperate to know what’s going on behind that closed door. A priestess comes by after a little while, offering us tea or seats, but we decline both because we’re very aware that we’re definitely not going to be able to relax until that door opens. Which it doesn’t do for a very, very long time.

“What are they even doing in there?” I ask, especially when I hear a little muffled shout come through that makes me go quite still. Sinclair chuckles a little and I spin to look up at him, not understanding what he means –

But then, when I see his raised eyebrow and the smirk on his face, I realize…

“Oh, EW!” I say, swatting at him with my free hand, the one that’s not holding the sleeping baby. “They are so not-”

“Roger would,” he murmurs, smiling at me and still laughing lightly.

“Cora would not,” I say, vehement. “ This is mom’s house.”

“She didn’t seem to mind about such activities outside the RV, where dad could have seen, were he to glance out the window.”

“Yeah, but that’s your dad,” I say, rolling my eyes and returning my focus to the door. “It’s different.”

“The Goddess is all-seeing,” Sinclair says, and I can feel him shrug. “She’ll spy if she wants to – what’s the difference between having s3x in her temple as opposed to anywhere else -”

But I hiss at him to shut up, looking around anxiously to make sure he wasn’t overhead. Chuckling, wrapping his arms around my waist again, Sinclair pulls me back against him. “If the baby weren’t here,” he murmurs low into my ear, pulling my hips back against him…

“Enough out of you,” I chide, though I can’t help the smile that tugs at my lips. Because…well, my mate is very difficult to resist. Even in an inappropriate religious space dedicated to my mom.

Luckily, the door opens then, and Cora and Roger come striding out, wide smiles stretching over both of their faces as they speak softly to each other, holding hands, completely oblivious to our tense waiting.

“Cora!” I cry, thrilled and excited. Her head spins to me and her smile widens as I dash over to her. But as I get within three feet of her I sense –

What is that? I stop dead in my tracks, raising my nose to sniff the air – but I can’t –

Sinclair, coming up behind me, likewise goes stiff and then starts to laugh. “Well, congratulations, sister-in -law,” he says, and I glance back to see a wide grin on his face. “Looks like you’re a wolf after all.”

“WHAT!” I shout, completely shocked and throwing an arm around my sister, tugging her to me and holding the baby to my side so that he doesn’t get smushed. “Are you serious?! Are you?” And then I back off a little again, sniffing around her and sensing –

Yes – yes –

I may not have been able to smell it months ago, before I was immersed in this world – but my sister has a wolf, and it’s awake in her, and prowling around.

Cora laughs, thrilled. “Yes, Ella,” she says, nodding and stepping away from me but holding my hand. “I have a wolf. Um, I’m still human, so I can’t shift? But apparently,” she shrugs, shaking her head still in disbelief, “I have always had a wolf soul, inherited from mom. I just…never knew. She helped me find it.”

“Wow,” I say, squeezing her hand and staring at her, baffled and thrilled. ” Cora, that’s amazing – I mean, I think it’s amazing. Do you?”

Thrilled, my sister nods and then takes her hand from mine, stepping back with her mate. “I do. We both do.” And then she puts a hand on her stomach, still smiling at me. “The baby does too.”

“WHAT!” I shout again, laughing and stumbling forward, putting my hand on her stomach as if I could feel the baby too. “You can feel the baby now?!”
