Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 15
15. Need to make a decision to leave or stay.
The young female sat on the ground, staring at the contract that had been laying at her feet for quite some time. The numerous repercussions of signing or not signing it had absolutely shook her down to her very being. Xavier had carefully detailed every one of his terms and conditions in the contract, as well as the main regulations she would be held to. He’d already left the room half an hour earlier, giving her until the next morning to come to her decision. She would receive a copy of the contract if she signed.
Kiara struggled with her choice to have s*x with a stranger that she had only met two days previously, compounded with that was the fact that she would have to give birth then abandon her child. At the same time, she couldn’t deny that Xavier had not broken his commitment. He had stated in the contract that Kiara would be released from the pack three months after giving birth to their offspring.
As a result, the opportunity for deceit was minimal. Xavier had not abused, assaulted, or coerced her once over these two days. He hadn’t
even insulted her for Lewis’ crimes, Kiara wasn’t sure if she was witnessing Xavier’s true character or an act that would be revealed after
she had signed the contract. She had been offered two possibilities, but could she really make a choice?
It was soon midday, but Kiara had locked herself in the room. The contract’s terms and conditions lingered in her memory. Jennifer
had served lunch in her Luna’s room before being sent away by Kiara. She needed some alone time to think, now it was late evening.
“Kiara,” Lena knocked on the door.
“Yes, give me a second,” Kiara answered, leaving the contract on the side of the table but turning it upside down so no one could
accidentally read it. The Gamma female had been standing in front of the door with a large package when the door opened.
“What exactly is this?” Kiara inquired, inviting Lena inside her room.
“This package is for you. The Alpha told me to bring it to you,” Lena explained as best she could, having no additional information. She had only seen Xavier pay the delivery man. Jennifer had left the pack with a male for another job, so Lena was asked to play delivery girl.
“This is for me?” Kiara took a seat on the sofa, watching the large box with interest. What might it be?
ne “Yes, why don’t you have a look at it? I’m intrigued about what Alpha has gotten for our Luna,” Lena grinned, confident in her
prediction. A present from the Alpha, who had just dumped an unusual surrogacy contract on her? Kiara just rolled her eyes and began
unwrapping the packaging with the inquisitive female. She didn’t have any expectations, but then…
“Wow,” Lena’s eyes gleamed. She had a smile on her lips as she dragged her gaze away from the box, to an astonished Luna who had
seemed to have lost her voice. The box had yet to be opened, but once the packaging had been removed, it was obvious what was inside.
Lena assisted Kiara and eventually handed her a brand new laptop.
“The Alpha has excellent taste! I recall you saying you liked white. Kiara, do you like your laptop?” Lena inquired, curiously. The young female raised her befuddled gaze to her Gamma. Her laptop? Lena had guessed from the size and weight that it was a laptop, but she had kept it a secret so as not to spoil her Alpha’s present to the Luna. Even though there was no card and he had not personally given it to her, it was a present in her eyes.
: “Is this really for me?” Kiara asked in disbelief. It was an Apple Macbook Pro Core i7. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Perhaps he had brought it for himself, and Lena had misinterpreted the situation since she knew that she had been preparing to
purchase a smartphone for her courses.
“Yes, it’s yours,” Lena giggled, motioning for Kiara to open it, but the young she-wolf remained shocked. She had never had anything
new in her life. Martha had often argued with Sawyer about providing their second daughter with nice things like their other children,
but in the end, the young female would only get secondhand items.
Whenever Lewis or Noah became bored of their possessions, they would hand them over to Kiara. It might be a ripped jacket, a blanket, or a used bicycle. She hadn’t even used Lewis’ bike since the handle had been broken. Her dream of riding it had been shattered, as a result, she had never been able to learn how to ride it. It was difficult for someone who normally only received used scuffed items to realize that this new laptop was for her.
box,
“What’s this?” Kiara placed the laptop on the table and opened the package to see that it was a new Apple phone!
“Is this also mine?” Kiara’s mouth and eyes were gaping wide. She had intended to go out today to buy an inexpensive smartphone
that was within her budget so that she could study online, but instead she received not just an expensive phone, but also a laptop! How? Was it by the Moon Goddess’s grace or due to something else? But the Moon Goddess had never smiled down on her before. Would it be a major humiliation if she accepted these gifts and then they took them back? Lena had said that Xavier had ordered her to bring them to
her room. He hadn’t known she needed them, so why had he bought them?
“Yes, everything is yours my dear Luna. If the Alpha doesn’t surprise you with gifts then who will?” Lena chuckled as she gently
tugged Kiara’s lovely cheeks. Even though both females were among the ranked members of the pack and Kiara outranked Lena, the fact
remained that Lena was at least four years older than Kiara and had begun to think of her like a younger sister.’
You should no longer use the old one. I see you charging that thing all the time, but it only gives you a headache,” Lena pointed to Kiara’s keypad phone, which was lying next to her.
“No, I can’t throw it away right now,” Kiara immediately picks up the phone and hug tightly.
“Why?” Lena was intrigued by her possessiveness toward her old phone.
“Ohh, do you have photos of your family on that phone?” Lena took the chance and sat down near Kiara to have a look.
“Oh my goddess, your sister is equally beautiful as you!” The Gamma female couldn’t determine which was more beautiful, the younger or elder sister. Kiara laughed when she saw Lena’s surprised expression. The redhead she-wolf had been quick to discover that
her phone was filled with pictures of her mother and older sister. Only the three of them appeared in each photograph.
“But why are there only the three of you in each picture? Where have your father and brothers gone?” Looking at Kiara’s changing
countenance, Leena inquired as she broke into a little smile.
“They never wanted to share anything with me, even a family picture,” the young female admitted, returning her gaze to the phone in Lena’s hand. The Gamma female remained silent, realizing that there was something else going on that she was unaware of, that Kiara
was hesitant to reveal.
P. “Oh my god!!? Who is this little one? She is so cute!” Lena’s eyes softened as she hopped on her seat two or three times while she gazed at Kiara’s white kitty. She had far too many photographs of her cat.
“She was my cat,” Lena became aware of the profound melancholy in Luna’s voice. She had obviously had to leave her pet behind
before joining the Sirius Bright Pack.
“It hurts, right?” Lena inquired, her hand resting on Kiara’s shoulders. Sadly, the young she-wolf only nodded.
“Unfortunately the Sirius Bright Pack doesn’t allow pets.”
“Really” Kiara’s eyes snapped at Lena.
“Yes, this rule has been in place for many years but no one has modified it, and Alpha Xavier dislikes cats.” Lena stood up from her
seat, mimicking one of the things that Xavier detested. Kiara was taken aback by this information. He didn’t like cats? He had noted her
fondness for cats in Ardara Moon Pack, but she had no idea he disliked them.
“Okay, now I’ll leave you to enjoy your new possessions. Today I have various responsibilities to attend to,” Lena claimed as she walked away. Kiara paused a while before picking up her phone and laptop, her gaze fixed on the door that Xavier could walk through at
any time. It didn’t appear to be a hoax, as Lewis had done to her. He had blamed her for stealing his sparkle pen after handing it to her.
Yes, they were children at the time, but the recollection of their father’s venomous glares still lingered in the young female’s mind. Kiara began to examine phone and laptop when Xavier had not returned to claim them. They were truly hers, she had a warm smile.
When her phone rang at her side, she quickly put it back on the table. She pressed her fingers to her chest. It wasn’t Xavier, it was
simply a phone call. Kiara’s eyes twinkled as she realized it was a phone call from her sister.
“Adira! What have you been up to? Why were you ignoring my calls?” Kiara asked in a panicked single breath.
“Breathe, girll breathe! I didn’t ignore you,” Adira laughed.
“Tell mel” Kiara demanded a reply. She had been really concerned about her sister after their previous phone call, but her sister had
“I’d left the pack with Dad to do some work, but I’d left my phone in my room. I swear I fell asleep after that and forgot to check my phone,” Adira claimed but Kiara found it suspicious.
“Where did he take you?” The younger sister interrogated her.
“It was simply a friendly pack celebration,” Adira swiftly dismissed her query.
“But…”
“Kiara, why are you asking so many questions today? Let’s talk about something else, shall we?” With a weary and deep sigh, the elder sister interrupted her inquisitive thoughts.
“Okay, let’s talk about something else,” Kiara said, admitting defeat and conceding to herself that she had been overthinking.
“What are you doing right now?” Adira changed the subject to something more relaxed.
“I received a new laptop and a smartphone today.”
“What? Who bought it for you? Alpha Xavier?
“Yes,” Adhira couldn’t believe what she was hearing. But she was also relieved that he was taking good care of her sister.
“Then let’s have a video call right now. I’m sure you want to see Mom, ” Adira proposed with zeal.
“Oh my gosh, yeah, I want to see my Mom!!” Kiara couldn’t contain her joy as she leapt off the sofa. She had completely forgotten that if she had a smartphone, she could video call and see her family.
“All right, I’ll call Mom!” Adira hung up the phone and promptly set out on her mission to inform her mother of the wonderful news.
Kiara, on the other hand, rapidly disassembled her old phone and placed her sim card into the new one. She had a huge smile on her face
as she tried to turn on the phone, but it hadn’t worked.
“What happened to it? Why isn’t it working?” She had at least 10 minutes to get it to turn on, but nothing worked, so she opted to use her laptop for the video chat. Fortunately, the new laptop did not cause her any problems and turned on quickly, but Kiara soon
realized that she had no idea how to video call using a laptop. She required assistance!
She quickly exited her room then began looking for Lena, but as she had stated earlier she had been busy with her duties and was not at the pack house. Then she went looking for Tyler, only to discover that he had left the pack house with Xavier. Kiara scratched her head as she sat in the living room. Why wasn’t anyone around when she needed them?
Kiara looked around at the other pack members who were smiling and respectfully bowing to her as they passed by the living room.
The full moon and the marking ceremony had kept everyone in the Sirius Bright Pack busy. Kiara’s heart skipped a beat when she saw
their ecstatic expressions. They had already accepted her as their Luna, but Kiara had yet to make a decision. She was depressed. But,
