Alpha’s Surrogate by Pooja novel Chapter 20

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 20

20. Mark me!

“Stop her, Xavier. She is leaving,” Zander kept prompting Xavier, but Kiara was gone. He had not stopped her.

With their soon-to-be Luna’s abrupt departure, the hall, which had been resonating with excitement and gaiety, fell dead silent. What had happened? The young woman had just walked out of the pack house without looking back, but she had left a slew of big

mouths to propagate rumors.

As they stared at Xavier standing there without Kiara, the Sirius Bright Pack’s sadness deepened. Why hadn’t he stopped the Luna? He appeared to have lost something without her. His gaze had not left the door for a moment, giving the impression that she had not departed alone, but had taken their Alpha’s heart and soul with her. The other guests’ murmurs were picked up by Stephen’s ears.

“What exactly is going on?”

“How come the pack’s new Luna has run away her own marking ceremony?”

“I had a sneaking suspicion that something was awry. What was the use of pretending if there was no marriage?”

“It seems that Alpha Xavier had never intended to obtain a Luna.”

Some of the other guests, who were notorious for gossiping, slandering, and spreading rumors, began to open their big mouth. – Some of them were people who had planned to assault the Sirius Bright Pack in the not-too-distant future. They had a satisfied look now that Xavier’s bride had fled. If he had marked and accepted the Luna as a mate, they would have lost everything to the twin brothers.

Zander had already given them a lethal glare a while ago. He was going to ruin them, but everyone was now secure. He still hadn’t found

his mate!!

Their smiling face turned pale, as they sweat profusely when they realized Beta Kaiden and Gamma Tyler had seen their actions and

heard their comments. What were those assholes saying about their Alpha?! If looks could kill, they would have died long ago! The typical repercussions and terror of their mistakes were obvious for a brief period as they bit their lips and dropped their gaze. The more

renowned and dignified a person was, the more frivolous their habits!

Every curious and gobsmacked eye was focused on the green-eyed Alpha, who seemed like a wounded animal that had been filled to the brim with seething wrath. His gaze had been perpetually drawn to the door through which Kiara had exited. Dean had reached the

end of his patience, Xavier needed to act swiftly.

“What exactly is going on, Alpha? Why did Luna suddenly leave the ceremony and the pack house?” One of the elders stepped forward to inquire.

“Jennifer! Lena! Bring that rat out of his hole!!”

Xavier yelled at the top of his lungs, frightening the elder who had come to ask his Alpha a question. The elderly wolf swiftly stepped back from Xavier, as did the other pack members who had been surrounding him. They all wanted their runaway Luna to return but no one dared to ask anything. What was going on? Who had the Alpha been referring to as a rat?

Other elders observed Stephen, who had been unusually silent while observing the Luna’s departure. How could that old wolf keep his cool? Hadn’t he been avoiding all inauspicious occasions? Why hadn’t he made a fuss when Kiara abandoned his grandson?

“Aahh!” A painful groan pierced the air, drawing all attention to the side door of the ceremony hall. Where Jennifer and Lena

dragged a middle-aged Sirius Bright Pack warrior brutally and threw him at Xavier and Zander’s feet. His blood had stained the floor and terrified the heck out of his guests and the other wolves of the pack. Why had the warrior been tortured in this manner? He looked more like a battered dog than a man. He raised his swollen eyes to behold ruthless Alphas for mercy but Xavier’s foot slammed down onto his head causing his head smash into the cold floor, breaking the tiles, making him bleed and hurting him more. He screamed, his claws scratching the tiles unsuccessfully as he struggled. Guests put their hands over their mouth in fear. What was going on? Zander smirked admiring his brother’s action. This was the beginning of the process of releasing his accumulated rage.

“He’s the spy, Alpha! While notifying someone about Luna Kiara’s departure, we caught him red-handed. He was laughing and

informing someone that the Luna had run away from you,” Jennifer updated Xavier,

already secretly on the phone with someone during the ring ceremony. He had communicated the news of the ring ceremony and the

breakup of the marriage to a third party over the phone with great joy.

The warrior wolf tried to fight, even breaking his own phone, but he couldn’t compete with Lena’s fighting skills. In the end, the

aggressive red-headed Gamma female broke his balls. She abandoned him, sobbing over his shattered eggs. When he tried to swallow the SIM card, Jennifer had nearly choked him. She pushed her claws into his cheeks as she yanked the card from his mouth, fracturing his nose in the process. Pregnancy had never been an issue for her as long as her mate trusted her and allowed her to participate in the

special task assigned by the Alpha twins.

The spy’s attention had been drawn only to Kaiden and Tyler, as the Alphas had predicted, but he had not anticipated that Xavier would assign the mission of capturing the pack’s rat to the Beta and Gamma females. When people saw the spy’s damaged jaw and legs,

the chattering folks lost their shits. He couldn’t even crawl by himself. How ruthless might these ladies be?

“Alpha… li…” The spy attempted to justify his actions, only to receive a severe kick in the head from Xavier. He was tossed across the ground like a rag doll, crippled and on the verge of death. While taking a long and furious breath, the green eyed Alpha’s gaze returned to the entrance through which his young she-wolf had escaped. Even though he couldn’t see her, he could sense every step she took away from him.

When Xavier had walked to his room through the back door to wash his face after puking, he had been greeted with a mind-link from

Kiaden. Not just to Xavier, but also to Zander and Tyler.

Someone that was attending the ceremony had shared a photo of Kiara and Xavier kissing and exchanging rings. That was not all,

every occurrence small and large that had occurred during the wedding had been relayed to someone else. Simultaneously, there had

been an intelligence attempt to sabotage the marking ceremony by spreading rumors and asking irrelevant questions about it. Stephen, who had joined the mind-link with his grandsons, revealed that the rings had been stolen an hour before the ceremony, but Grandpa had a spare set of rings in the same size and design in his pocket.

Someone had planned to ruin the wedding, but they had carefully kept their identity hidden among the guests. There was only one way to find them: pretend to break up the marriage!

This strategy had been devised by all of the highest-ranking men. Zander had been aware of his brother’s decision to let Kiara leave. Everyone had been acting, and it had worked because this obnoxious rodent had been apprehended. Zander had already vented his rage

by kicking his stomach until he vomited a large amount of blood, which fulfilled the Alpha’s need for vengeance at the moment. This

warrior had the audacity to betray his pack, his people, and his Alphas!

Xavier’s murderous hands stretched down and drew the bastard up to face him. The infuriated Alpha’s long, sharp claws had come

out to dig deep into the low life’s flesh, causing him to bleed. He yelled at the top of his lungs, desperately trying to save his life, but he

had already lost too much strength.

“Who are you working for?” Xavier’s menacing voice was slow and deep, yet there was a concealed warning not to lie or he would

lose another ounce of his pathetic and desperate minute of his worthless life. The eyes of the middle-aged guilty wolf were wide open, as

if they were about to jump out of his skull in terror. His frail frame trembled like a dried leaf. The moment he resolved to defraud his

Alpha and pack flashed through his head, when he had accepted the dirty money he had already sealed his death date and time.

“… I am sorry Alpha.”

“I don’t know him…” Xavier’s claws sunk further into the criminal’s neck as soon as he dared to repeat those meaningless words,

which were certainly not the ideal responses to the short-tempered Alpha. The low-life wolf was turned to face the guests in an instant, where Xavier’s other hand seized his hair, pulled his head up to the ceiling, and tore his throat out in front of everyone. The last noises

from the wolf were those of blood gurgling as he took his final breath.

“What did you say? She ran away from me?” Xavier chuckled darkly into the dying wolf’s ears, still grasping his hair and practically ripping his hair out of his head as his emerald eyes returned to the entrance.

“She can’t even get away from me, not in her f*****g nightmares!” As the Alpha snapped his neck, he spoke to the man’s ears. The

lifeless corpse collapsed onto the floor. A few young women cried in terror, attempting to hide behind their mates so they wouldn’t.

witness the violence or Xavier’s monsterous actions.

he was capable of killing anyone who got in his way. Guests immediately cleared the path, letting the Alpha vanish into the woods’ thick darkness. Dead quiet descended in the hall as they could only ask themselves the questions they were dying to know. Where had the Alpha gone? Why was he so enraged? The deceased spy could not be the only perpetrator.

Everyone, both familiar and unfamiliar with Xavier’s demeanor, was taken aback by what had just happened. No one dared to so

much as glance at the carcass of the wolf laying on the ground covered in blood. Zander was irritated by the filth on the floor.

“Move this body out of the hall as soon as possible and clean the floor!” The Alpha gave a vehement order. This day should not have

ended in blood, a dead body, and the new Luna’s escape. He could tell his brother had gone insane over his woman. If he couldn’t find her or she managed to flee the pack, Xavier would start killing people.

“Alpha, we were unable to obtain any information from him,” Kiaden was filled with remorse and hatred. They were able to trace the spy but were ineffective at making him talk. He had been killed!

“Check his bank account and track the account number from which he received a large unexplained deposit…” When a wolf’s growl

resonated over the woods, Zander came to a halt in his command.

“Who was that!” Tyler and Kiaden uttered as they took a cautious glance around. The Sirius Bright Pack, as well as all of the guests,

were terrified. Zander moved closer to the entrance, his emerald eyes locked on the woods where he had seen his brother go. It was most

certainly not Xavier’s growl. It was some unknown wolf! Because the entire pack was in the hall, who was the other wolf in the woods? Was that an enemy of the pack that had attacked?

When Xavier arrived in the midst of the woods, tracking Kiara’s scent, his heart began to race. He could sense that she was close by.

He could feel her every move. He had anticipated that she would not pass the territory boundary line. But the bizarre thing was that her

rose and chocolate fragrance had become much stronger and more appealing than earlier, Dean had become absolutely inebriated on it

as a result.

His wolf desired to take over his human, but the Alpha refused, increasing his speed until he heard the lethal and vicious snarl of a
