Accidental Surrogate for Alpha by Caroline Above Story Chapter 82
Chapter 82 – Sinclair Takes on a Blackmailer
Sinclair
When I arrive at the home of Ella’s former employer, it takes all my strength to push my wolf down deep. The last thing I need is to actually murder a human, no matter how badly I might want to.
She deserves it. My wolf mutters mutinously, think about how easy it would be. Then she’d never be able to hurt Ella again.
Maybe so, but Ella wouldn’t like it. I remind him, recalling how the precious creature had worried for the children, even when her own safety and happiness was on the line.
Hmph, she’s got you wrapped around her little finger. My wolf accuses.
Oh, like she doesn’t have you in the exact same position? I scoff. I’d like to see you resist her when she’s blinking those beautiful big eyes up at you, begging you not to orphan innocent children.
Please, you spoke over the phone! He reminds me, his voice trailing off into growls of longing as he pictures her. You couldn’t see her eyes or those plump, pouty lips or the sweet swell of her belly. You couldn’t smell her delectable scent or…
And I’m the one who’s whipped? I roll my eyes as I knock on the heavy rosewood door.
To my surprise, Jake and Millie answer the door, tilting their blonde heads up to me with excited grins. “Mr. Sinclair!”
My wolf calms as soon as he sees the children, softening like the big teddy bear he is. “Well hello!” I drop down to their level, unable to resist their adorable smiles. “I haven’t seen you two in ages, what have you been up to?”
“We haves a new nanny.” Millie whispers conspiratorially, reaching out to play with my tie.
“She never takes us on walks in the neighborhood.” Jake explains, clearly blaming his new carer for our increasingly infrequent meetings. “She’s too lazy and she hates being outside.”
“That’s too bad.” I commiserate, pulling Millie into my arms and lifting her up as I ruffle Jake’s hair affectionately. “Doesn’t she know growing boys and girls need to get out and explore?”
“I don’t thinks so.” Millie frowns seriously. “She’s not very smart.”
“I miss Ella.” Jake adds miserably. “Mommy’s been saying lots of mean things about her, but we don’t believe her. Ella was the best nanny we’ve ever had.”
“Well I know Ella misses you too.” I confide. “You know she’s living with me now?”
“She is?” Jake gapes. “You mean you get to play with her all day long?”
“Whenever you wants?” Millie adds in awe.
“Well, not whenever I want.” I confess. If only they knew how badly I’d like to stay home with Ella all day, both playing and not playing. “My job keeps me very busy, but she’s there in the morning and when I get home at night. She tells me how badly she wants to see you.”
“Maybe you can convince Mommy to let her visit?” Jake suggests, staring up at me so hopefully I feel guilty for thinking that nothing I could possibly say to their horrible mother will make her come around.
“I can try.” I promise, patting the boy on the shoulder, “and you two should know you’re welcome at my home anytime.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Alpha Dom and His Human Surrogate (PDF)
The last couple of chapters have gotten sloppy, confusing her and him for she/her Sinclair is not a her. Isabel has changed her name to Elizabeth too. Making it hard to read. I’m loving this book, but I hope it goes back to its previous high standard!...
