Alpha’s Surrogate by Pooja novel Chapter 32

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 32

32. The decision

The fragrance of flowers in the fresh morning breeze was supposed to provide peace of mind and a good start to the day, but not for the anxious woman in the short black dress. Laila’s assets were enhanced by her attire that had

been finished off with a pair of large black sunglasses and high heels, yet they clashed with her irritated expression. With a black clutch in her hand, she could be mistaken for a model getting ready for a photoshoot. Her large brown

eagle-like eyes were searching for a particular person to whom she had returned to the pack to get her hands on after

a year, only to fall into despair when he slipped through her fingers.

“Can you tell me where the boys are?” She inquired of Jennifer and Lena, since they were the only ones that had seen fit to wish her farewell as she stood beside her shiny expensive car. Why was he not there? She wanted to see Xavier now more than ever. Where could he be? Did he go to get her a rose? Yes! That must be the cause for his absence. He was well aware of how much she adored them. Maybe he wanted to make it up to her by doing that. She smirked in her mind proudly.

“They’ve all been in the office building since early this morning and are sorry they couldn’t come to say goodbye

to you,” Jennifer responded with a small smile, observing Lena’s frown. Due to Laila’s remark about Kiara yesterday,

the Gamma female was irritated with the short-haired she-wolf. Kaiden and Tyler had asked their mates to bid their

friend farewell in a courteous manner and to apologize for not properly saying goodbye themselves.

The DNA results from the deceased wolf had arrived. Xavier had left his room before Kiara awakened, and all the

men gathered in the office to discover that the guard had been murdered by a vampire. Those blood suckers had left a

bite mark complete with venom in the wolf’s body. Both the Alphas were furious. The Vampire King was blatantly

violating the treaty, but the reason behind their attack was still unclear. The werewolves now had proof, but they needed to capture them red-handed for waging war on them. The situation was critical, and they wanted to resolve it

as soon as possible before any more lives were put in jeopardy.

“How can Xavier treat me like this? At the very least, he should have come to say goodbye for the sake of our

friendship. He even promised to spend some time with me, but I never saw him. Zander, Kiaden, and Tyler were missing too. Now, when I return, Xavier isn’t there to greet me. He didn’t pay attention to me while his wife and mate insulted me!” Laila complained, tossing her sunglasses, revealing that she had been chasing after a man that she

had meant to captivate. Her true goal had been to return the Sirius Bright Pack to finally capture Xavier, but it had

been completely ruined by Kiara. The young Luna had not let her touch the Alpha.

How could that little scumbag threaten her in front of all the ranking males? It had been extremely disrespectful

to do that to the previous Beta’s daughter, who was respected and liked by all of her former pack members. Even

though she was no longer a member of the Sirius Bright Pack, her Beta blood could not stand up to the Alpha blood of

the young she-wolf’s dominance and power.

When Xavier had been having that panic attack, it was easy for Laila to win his heart and affection through

TAJL

trickery, but the terrifying threat from young Luna had caused her to back down. She had been booted out of the

kitchen and had stayed in her room for the rest of the day and night, waiting for Xavier to retrieve her, but he never did. Should he not have chastised his Luna for being disrespectful to her? Why hadn’t he come to her room? Had she

not hit on him enough in the dining room? She was ready to give herself to him. She had done everything she could to lure the Alpha into her bed, but even this morning she hadn’t seen his face.

“The Alpha is a responsible and busy man,which is why he doesn’t think it’s necessary to personally see to such

trifling chores,” the young Luna’s sweet soothing voice followed her as she stepped out of the pack house to stand in front of Laila. Who had put more foundation on her face to conceal the black circles caused by the humiliation that

had kept her from sleeping the whole night. Not to mention her constant longing for Xavier. Jennifer and Lena were standing beside Kiara, while Lance looked like a big wall behind her, giving the short-haired woman the impression that she was standing in front of a queen.

When she realized that Kiara smelt like Xavier, the short-haired woman’s heart swelled with anxiety, rage, and resentment. Had she slept with him this morning? What a w***e! No, there was a high probability that they had done it all night long and that’s why Xavier hadn’t come to her! This bitch had been seducing him with her beauty and sluty body.

But Xavier had closed all of his heart and refused to love any woman. So how could he have chosen this unknown enemy’s daughter as his mate? Laila had used her phone last night to look into the new Luna’s information. It was

clear that men always liked fresh young meat. But how could that inexperienced little w***e take Xavier away from

her? He was her first love. Petra had robbed her of him years ago and now Kiara had done the same. Leaving the hot, attractive, and single Alpha for a year had clearly been a horrible idea! She should never have left the Sirius Bright Pack. Her stupid parents were to blame for this!

“I can easily identify the source of the shift towards animosity in my relationship with Xavier. You don’t want him to visit me. How insecure can you be, Luna Kiara?” Laila hurled venomous daggers at Kiara. It was pointless to lie, so revealing how much she despised Xavier’s chosen mate, who only smiled at a short-haired woman like she had yesterday, which irritated Laila to no end. Now, what had made her smile?!

“Again, I would encourage you to select your words carefully, Laila. Friendship, not a relationship,” Kiara smiled as she revised her statement. The young she-wolf always felt that her smile would be her first line of defense against her foe. Her comment had been enough to remind the other woman of the term husband snatcher. Laila was irritated when Lena smirked, while Luna’s new bodyguard stood there listening to everything with an indifferent expression.

“How arrogant are you,” Laila chuckled, coming closer to her. She couldn’t lose this fight against Kiara so easily. She had to save face before leaving the pack.

“Watch your mouth, Laila,” Jennifer growled. Kiara counseled her Beta and Gamma females to be calm through mind-link. They had chosen to interrupt since they were well aware of Laila’s filthy statements. She wasn’t a great warrior, but her words could easily hurt someone and that she-wolf never hesitated to open her mouth.

“Arrogant?” Kiara grinned, stunning Laila. The young woman took a step closer to her and said.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but it’s something I’ve had since birth. And I can’t stand it when I see people like

you.”

“You!!” Laila clenched her teeth and glared at Kiara’s serene expression.

“You keep mocking me because you are fortunate enough to have a Greek god like Alpha Xavier! I understand you’re Alpha Sawyer’s daughter. Yes, women like you usually forget their place when they put on nice clothing and suddenly gain a better status. I guess I’ll have to remind the new Luna of her place before I go,” Laila snapped, unleashing her wrath and fury that had been building since last night. It was now time to unleash it in order to obtain a victory that would appease her battered ego.

“Hold your tongue, Laila. You have been warned twice. After this, I will have no other option but to report it to the Alpha,” Jennifer announced seriously, making the short-haired she-wolf glare at the Gamma female who had barely held her temper in check, revealing her crimson eyes.
