2025-02-15 18:07:27And there it was.
I kept my expression calm, refusing to let her words sink in. I had played this game before. People like Zara wanted a reaction, and the best way to win was not to give them one.I tilted my head slightly, smiling just as sweetly. “That’s thoughtful of him,” I said, making sure my voice was light and easy, like she hadn’t just tried to insult me. “What time is the meeting?”Zara blinked, like she hadn’t expected me to brush her off so easily. But she recovered quickly. “Two o’clock. At Poppy’s.”Ah, Poppy’s. I remembered it from my tour with Mer. It was a cute little diner with the best pastries I’d ever tasted. At least the location was a win.I nodded. “Great. I’ll be there.”Then, before she could say anything else, I stood up, grabbed Mer’s hand, and walked out of the dining room without looking back.As soon as we were in the hallway, Mer let out a long breath and shook her head. “I swear, she’s un

I blinked in confusion. What?"But... I was on time," I said, glancing at the clock on the wall just to be sure. It was exactly 2 PM, the time Zara had told me.The red-haired woman scoffed, shaking her head. "The meeting started an hour ago," she snapped.My stomach dropped.What?It took me a few seconds to put the pieces together. My gaze flickered to Zara, who was sipping her tea as if she hadn't just set me up.Of course.Of course she had done this.Zara had given me the wrong time on purpose. She had made sure I arrived late so I would look irresponsible.I clenched my fists under the table, forcing myself to stay calm."Zara told me the meeting was at 2," I said, my voice steady but firm.The room fell into silence.Zara let out a soft gasp, placing a hand on her chest like I had just accused her of something horrible. "Me?" she asked, eyes wide with fake innocence.I nodded. "Yes. You told me—""I'm so sorry if there was a misunderstanding," Zara interrupted, her voice sweet

"You handled yourself well," a soft voice said.I looked up to find the kind woman who had spoken up earlier. She offered me a small, encouraging smile, her warm brown eyes filled with understanding."Zara likes to test people," she continued. "But don’t let her get to you."I returned her smile, though mine was a bit tired. "It’s hard not to," I admitted. "She clearly enjoys making things difficult for me."Selina let out a knowing chuckle. "Oh, she does," she agreed. "But people like her? They thrive on reactions. The best thing you can do is not give her one."I sighed. "Easier said than done.""You’ll get the hang of it," she assured me.She extended her hand. "I’m Selina, by the way. My mate is one of the pack elders."That explained the way she carried herself—with confidence, grace, and authority. Unlike Zara, though, she didn’t seem to wield her influence as a weapon."I’m—" I started, but she cut me off with a small laugh."I know who you are," she said with a smile. "Everyon

I looked up to see a woman standing next to me. She had a welcoming smile, and there was something comforting about the way she carried herself. She was middle-aged, with kind brown eyes and short, wavy hair. Her apron, embroidered with the store’s name, told me she was the owner.“I’m Andrea,” she introduced herself, her voice full of warmth. “I own this store. And you are...?”I smiled back, feeling at ease right away. “I’m Lily. I’m... well, I’m pregnant, and I was just admiring the things here. I don’t have any money on me right now.”Andrea’s smile grew, and she waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t worry about it. You’re carrying the Alpha’s child, right? That’s reason enough for you to have something from here.”I blinked in surprise. “You know who I am?”She chuckled softly, her eyes twinkling with amusement. “Oh, yes. Word gets around in a close-knit community like this. Plus, with the Alpha’s mate expecting, how could we not know?”I felt my face flush, unsure of how to react

I entered the mansion, feeling the familiar warmth of the place as I stepped inside. The soft smell of food greeted me as I walked through the hallway. I was thirsty, so I made my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Margaret was there, busy preparing dinner. She was always so calm and collected, even when there was a lot to do.“Hey, Margaret,” I said, smiling as I grabbed a glass from the cabinet.She looked up from the stove and smiled back. “Hello, dear. How was your day?”“It was good,” I replied as I filled my glass with cool water. “Just a little shopping.”Margaret nodded. “I’m sure you’ve got quite a few things to look at now, with the baby coming.” Her voice was warm and kind, always making me feel comfortable.I nodded, taking a sip of my water. “Yeah, I picked up some baby booties today. They’re so cute.” I glanced down at the small bag I was holding, the booties nestled inside, soft and small.Margaret smiled

I looked at him, a little confused. “What’s this?” I asked, taking the card from his hand.“Take it,” he said, his voice firm but kind. “Get whatever you need for yourself and the baby. Don’t worry about the cost.”I stared at the card for a moment, my mind racing. Was he serious? I didn’t want to accept it, but then again, the thought of buying things for the baby... it felt good. It felt like something I wanted to do.“Thank you,” I said quietly, though I wasn’t sure how I felt about taking his money.He shook his head slightly, a small smile playing on his lips. “You don’t need to thank me,” he said, his voice softening. “It’s my duty to take care of you. And our baby.”His words made my heart flutter. There was something in the way he said it, something so sincere and gentle, that made me feel like he truly meant it. Like he truly wanted to care for me, to protect us both.His gaze moved from my eyes to my belly, and I could

Tomorrow couldn’t come fast enough. The moment I woke up, I found myself counting down the hours until lunch. Selina had seemed so kind and warm when we first met, and I was eager to get to know her better. It had been a long time since I had a friend—someone who wasn’t just tolerating me because of who the father of my child was.Before I knew it, noon had come and I was standing in front of Poppy’s, the cozy little diner that smelled of freshly baked bread and roasted coffee. The sign above the door creaked slightly in the wind, and the soft chatter of people inside made the place feel lively and welcoming.I took a deep breath, adjusting my coat before pushing the door open. A warm wave of delicious scents greeted me—something sweet, like cinnamon, mixed with the rich aroma of coffee. My stomach rumbled slightly.I scanned the room, searching for Selina, and it didn’t take long to spot her. Her silver-grey hair stood out even before she turned around. S

I frowned and turned to see what she was talking about. My heart nearly stopped when I spotted Kai walking in our direction. My first thought was that maybe he wasn’t here for me. Maybe he was just passing by. But a small part of me—one I didn’t want to acknowledge—hoped that he was.How did he even find me? I hadn’t told him I was coming here.Before I could dwell on it, Kai was already at our table. He looked effortlessly handsome, dressed in a crisp white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up slightly, paired with black slacks. His dark hair was tousled, giving him a rugged yet refined look. Even in a simple outfit, he exuded power and authority, commanding attention without trying.He greeted Selina with familiarity, his deep voice smooth and controlled. “Selina.”“Alpha,” she responded with a small smile, her tone teasing. “What brings you here?”He didn’t answer her. Instead, he turned his gaze to me. His grey eyes were sharp, but

As we walked out of the baby store, the small bag of baby clothes nestled against my chest, a strange warmth spread through me. I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I was looking forward to having a little one. The thought of becoming a mother seemed overwhelming and exhilarating at the same time. Kai’s presence beside me was comforting, and though I still wasn’t entirely sure where things stood between us, there was a subtle shift in the air. It felt like he was finally paying attention, like maybe he was ready to be a part of this."You didn’t have to come with me," I said, glancing up at him. "I could've managed alone."Kai shrugged, his hands casually shoved in his pockets as he walked alongside me. "I wanted to," he said, his voice surprisingly soft. "It's... my child too."His words were simple, but they held a weight that made me pause. I hadn’t really thought of him as being fully involved, but hearing him say that felt different. There was a vu

I decided to call Elliot to see if we could meet now. My fingers felt a little shaky as I pulled my phone out and dialed his number. I wasn’t sure why I was nervous—maybe because I hadn’t really made any new friends lately, and he seemed like such a nice guy. I took a deep breath as the phone rang, trying to calm myself down.After a few rings, Elliot picked up. “Hello?” His voice sounded cheerful, and I couldn’t help but feel a little relieved.“Hey, Elliot, it’s me,” I said, trying to sound upbeat. “I was just wondering if we could meet now to check out the flower designs?”“Oh, absolutely!” he replied, sounding genuinely happy to hear from me. “I’ve got the arrangements ready for you to take a look at. Are you free now?”“Yeah, I’m already in town,” I answered. “Just tell me where your flower shop is, and I’ll head over.”“Great! It’s called ‘Bloom & Bliss,’ on Maple Street. You can’t miss it—the sign’s painted bright yellow, and there’s a big display of sunflowers outside,” he exp

Finally, he stepped aside, and I hurried past him, not daring to look back. I needed to get as far away from him as possible before I completely broke down. My chest felt tight, and my eyes stung, but I refused to cry in front of him.As I walked down the path leading away from the house, I forced myself to take deep, calming breaths. The morning air was cool against my skin, and the soft rustling of leaves overhead was almost comforting. I needed this moment of peace, away from the tension and the ache in my chest. I tried to focus on the steady rhythm of my footsteps, one after the other, moving me farther from the mansion and all the confusion that came with it.My thoughts kept drifting back to Kai, no matter how hard I tried to push them away. I couldn’t get the image of him and Zara out of my head. The way he kissed her with so much passion made my heart ache. I bit my lip to stop the tears that threatened to fall. I didn’t want to cry anymore. I was tired of feeling hurt and co

When I got to Kai’s room, I hesitated at the door for a moment. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting—maybe to find him there, waiting to talk, or maybe still asleep. But when I pushed the door open, the room was empty. A strange mix of relief and disappointment washed over me. I let out a small sigh and stepped inside, gently closing the door behind me.The room looked just as I had left it earlier. The bed was still a bit messy, the sheets rumpled from where I had been lying down. The faint scent of Kai lingered in the air—a comforting, familiar smell that made my chest tighten. I didn’t want to think about him right now, but it was hard not to when everything in this room reminded me of him.I walked over to the window, pushing the curtains aside to let the sunlight in. The morning light spilled across the floor, brightening up the space. I glanced out at the view of the garden below, watching the breeze make the flowers sway. It was peaceful—too peaceful compared to the storm of emot

We continued walking along the path, taking our time. The sun was climbing higher in the sky, warming the cool morning air, and the smell of pine and wildflowers filled the breeze. I couldn’t help but feel a bit lighter after talking to Mer, even though the ache in my chest was still there. Just having her by my side made things a little more bearable.The sound of birds singing softly in the trees seemed to match the rhythm of our steps. I noticed how the sunlight filtered through the branches, casting dappled patterns on the ground. Mer and I walked in comfortable silence for a while, both of us just soaking in the calm of the morning.Then my phone buzzed, startling me out of my thoughts. I pulled it out of my pocket, glancing at the screen. The name "Elliot" flashed across it, and I hesitated for a second before answering.“Hello?” I greeted, trying to keep my voice steady despite the unexpected call.“Hey, Lily! It’s Elliot,” came his cheerful, upbeat voice. I could almost pictur

Lily’s POV But then I had seen him kissing Zara. My heart had shattered right there in his office, and I couldn’t shake the image from my mind. It hurt so much. I felt embarrassed, stupid even, for letting myself hope that Kai might choose me over her.Mer was still looking at me, her eyes full of concern. I bit my lip and shook my head slowly. “It’s nothing,” I whispered, but the crack in my voice gave me away.Mer’s expression softened, and she pulled me into a tight hug, not saying anything. I closed my eyes, leaning into her, grateful for the comfort even if I couldn’t tell her the whole truth.It was too much. I felt like such a fool for thinking Kai could ever put me first. Of course, he still loved Zara. She was everything I wasn’t—beautiful, confident, and most of all, someone Kai had always protected. I was just... there.I couldn’t help the small sob that escaped, and Mer rubbed my back soothingly. “It’s okay,” she murmured. “You don’t have to talk about it if you’re not re
BILLIONAIRE ALPHA'S ACCIDENTAL SURROGATE Chapter 115
Lily’s POV I slowly opened my eyes, squinting against the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. The room was quiet, too quiet, and it took me a moment to realize that the bed beside me was empty. I turned over, my hand brushing against the cool sheets where Kai should have been. He was gone.A part of me didn’t know how to feel about his absence. Should I be relieved that I didn’t have to face him right now, or hurt that he didn’t bother to stay? My heart felt heavy, and I couldn’t decide which emotion to focus on. I took a deep breath, trying to push away the knot forming in my chest.Slowly, I sat up, feeling the familiar ache in my lower back. I moved carefully, not wanting to jostle myself too much. My hands instinctively went to my baby bump, cradling it gently. At least I wasn’t completely alone. The little one inside me was a constant reminder that, no matter what, I had someone to fight for.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up, stretching slight

Kai’s POV Lily had ran off, I felt the guilt settle over me like a heavy weight. I knew I’d made a terrible mistake, and I didn’t know how to fix it. I couldn’t get the image of Lily’s devastated expression out of my head. I hated myself for hurting her. I wanted to go after her, but I couldn’t leave Zara alone, not when she was this vulnerable.Maybe Rhys was right. Maybe Lily would be better off with someone who wouldn’t hurt her the way I did. Someone who wouldn’t make stupid mistakes and break her heart. But the idea of her being with him made my chest feel tight and my hands clench in frustration. I didn’t want to lose her, but I had no idea how to make things right.I slowly got up from the bed, moving as carefully as I could so I wouldn't wake Lily. She looked so peaceful, lying on her side with her back to me, her dark hair spread out over the pillow. I wanted to reach out and touch her, to feel the warmth of her skin and reassure myself that she was still here. But I didn’t
BILLIONAIRE ALPHA'S ACCIDENTAL SURROGATE Chapter 113
Kai’s POV I woke up early, long before the sun had risen. I hadn’t really slept at all, just lay there in the dark, staring at the ceiling and then at Lily’s back. She was still asleep, curled up on her side, facing away from me. Her breathing was soft and even, completely unaware of how much my heart ached.I couldn’t stop staring at her. I wanted to reach out and touch her, to pull her close and feel her warmth against me, but I knew better. I’d hurt her, and it was my fault. The guilt was eating me alive, and I couldn’t shake it.Last night had been hell. I’d tried everything to fall asleep—closing my eyes, forcing my mind to go blank, counting backward from a hundred—but nothing worked. Every time I shut my eyes, I saw Lily’s hurt expression when she called me out for kissing Zara. I couldn’t blame her for being upset. I hated myself for letting it happen.It hadn’t meant anything. I never wanted to kiss Zara. She had come into my office looking sad and miserable. I had been goin
BILLIONAIRE ALPHA'S ACCIDENTAL SURROGATE Chapter 112
I kept walking, not bothering to check if Kai was following me. I just needed to get away from the mess of emotions swirling inside me. My feet carried me through the hallways until I finally reached his room. Without a second thought, I shoved the door open and stepped inside. The room was dimly lit, but I didn’t bother turning on more lights. I just headed straight for the bathroom, needing a moment to collect myself.Once inside, I closed the door and leaned against it, taking a deep, shaky breath. My heart was still racing from the confrontation with Kai and Rhys, and I couldn’t help but replay it over and over in my head. I pushed those thoughts away and moved to turn on the shower, waiting for the water to warm up before stripping off my clothes.Stepping under the hot spray, I let the water wash away the tension from my muscles. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back, feeling the warmth seep into my skin. My thoughts were still a chaotic mess, but the steady stream of water h
