Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 19: Wanting Answers
NATHANThe girl was really making this harder than it had to be."You look comfortable in that chair. Must be why you're refusing to talk."I held her in the chair with silver shackles. Otherwise, she looked pretty comfortable in the chair. She glared at me, her screams and complaints muffled by the duct tape over her mouth. I'd attached a charmed bracelet over her wrist, making sure she couldn't use her wolf's strength. She wasn't being… cooperative. She had only one reply, to every single question I'd asked, 'I don't know'. But if she didn't know, why did that shuttered expression come over her face whenever I asked the questions? Why did I hear her breath quicken and her heartbeat speed up?All telltale signs of someone hiding something. She couldn't lie to me, and I'd just let her go. Like, 'nice of you to help, you can be on your merry way now'. And then while she was leaving, I could tack on an apology too, for forcibly making her my 'guest'. No. I needed answers, and I was
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 20: A Fight To The Death
FAYEThey wanted me to fight a werewolf warrior. Me, a latent. They said it would bring out my wolf side. I knew nothing about fighting or anything, really. I hadn't even been in any fights with Erin, as I knew not to touch even a hair on her precious head. No matter how many times she'd pissed me off first or hit me in the face. I'd taken everything. I wanted badly to refuse, stubbornly drag my feet or remain rooted to the spot, but a part of me wanted to fight. I wanted my wolf, too. Wanted to see if it would stir in the face of danger.So I went and took off my clothes and put on the outfit from the gym bag. The gym pants were really just shorts, with a short tank top to match. I wore them. I tried to remember fighting techniques and maneuvers I'd seen in the movies from wrestling matches and pro boxing. When the time came for me to go to the arena, the silver-haired woman again nudged me forward. I could feel her steely strength just willing me to do something unexpected so she
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 21: Ready or Not
FAYEIt never came. I lay on the dirt, breathing heavily and painfully. My ribs ached as I felt someone's feet approach me. Heavy footsteps by the sound of it.I could feel my left eye throbbing like it had a heartbeat. My whole body hurt in the worst ways. Tears mixed with the blood and sand underneath my face. Had they sent someone else to finish me? I doubt the warrior was tired out. He bent over my weak and broken form and I knew who it was in a flash. Nathan. "Weakling. You've convinced me you are worth nothing more than the turd beneath my shoes." His words hit me like blows. I closed my eyes tightly; the tears rolling down. What had I expected? Why was I thinking this man would show me any kindness or even pity? I heard his footsteps recede as he walked back out of the ring. My heart raged as I lay there. Unable to move even as I tried to raise myself up off the floor, at least. I struggled to my hands, raising myself above the floor a good way. Inching my knees closer
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 22: A Walk Down The Gallows
FAYEThe makeup covered my slightly swollen eyes well. And the lipstick had evened out the line of my lips, where it had split. It was always one horror or another; I thought miserably as they fussed at me, trying to fit my dress. He'd had me beaten to a pulp, had watched it languidly, like you'd watch an unimpressive performance. He had felt nothing except distaste and scorn at my weakness. I forced the nausea down. I had no choice in the proceedings except for the choice of dress to wear, but I would try to carry it through with dignity.They had humiliated me countless and so frequently that I clung to what remained of my pathetic dignity like a shield.A day to wake up, and the next I was supposed to walk down the aisle with the man I had loved and now grown to despise. But just the thought of seeing him made my heart ache. If I could just get my wolf up. If I could become a real werewolf like everyone else, have my strength and abilities, then maybe I'd stand a chance with him
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 23: Hair Day
NATHAN"Did you get her back safely?" I sat behind my desk, Lannons intense gaze almost boring a hole in my face. Lannon liked keeping things clean. He didn't like the way we'd snatched the girl, he'd said. Or even how we'd taken her back to the bar. We'd knocked her out with a sleeping pill, placing her comfortably in the car and driving her to the bar. That was a clean method, if you asked me. She was unhurt, and we had a little bit of information to work with for all our troubles. "I assume by get her back safely, you mean did I see or hear anything... interesting?""Actually, I meant, did you get her back safely, but that works too."He nodded. "I got her back to the bar with no interference. And no. Didn't see nothing. And didn't hear nothing."I stood from my chair, pacing around to his side of the table. Lannon leaned back in his chair, placing his hands on the arms and crossing his legs like we had all the damn time in the world to relax."So much happened in that bar bef
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 24: Someone in His Bed
NATHAN"So, she's more calculated than we thought she'd be. More careful." I said slowly. Lannon pulled up to the pack house and parked out front. "When last did you meet a witch who cast spells to keep werewolves out?"I considered the question, remembering days when my terror of a father had been the pack Alpha. Lots of witches hadn't liked his forced servitude. They'd taken to casting spells that kept werewolves out. The spells created an invisible barrier only we could feel. Humans could get through easy peasy. Our kind could sense magic, but there was nothing you could do to get past those spells. Unless you had a witch who could undo it. Or a human who was part of the pack. My mind went to Faye. If she was latent, did that mean she could get through such barriers? Not that she'd be of much help, seeing as she couldn't hold her own, neither could she think fast on her feet. "What are you thinking?" Lannon asked. "Come on. Can't talk here."We got out, climbing the stairs
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 25: Throes of Love
FAYEI kept myself numb. That was the only way to survive the shock of what I'd seen. Nathan, with another woman. And not one I had the pleasure of saying I didn't know. He'd been with her on the day we got married. Why? He didn't care for me at all. Or was it because we hadn't been married yet?I said the vows in a trance, my whole body quivering as I listened to Nathan say his. Viewing the farce with detachment kept me sane. It was like I was floating outside of my body. I was the spectator, and not the bride. Soon as the ceremony was over, I realized I wasn't Luna yet. As was the custom, I had to be coronated at the marriage ceremony. Soon enough, they answered my silent questions. There was a second ceremony. In the throne room. This time with only the werewolf community present. The elder and other girls my age got me ready all over again. And we hastened to the throne room.My bones were weary with fatigue, and exhaustion made my eyelids droop. How much longer would this
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 26: Rejected Luna
FAYEI'm surprised when maids come into my room to help me dress for the day. Clothes befitting a Luna had been readied for me. I'm wearing a blue dress with pearls adorning my neck. I looked like I did the week I spent with Nathan again, I thought as I viewed my reflection in the mirror. Patrice entered the room. The silver-haired lady whose face was permanently in a disapproving scowl. "You're supposed to be at the pack meeting. The Luna decides on important matters beside the Alpha."I walked to her, feeling twitchy in the dress I'm wearing. I'm not used to dressing so lavishly for a simple day indoors. I followed Patrice down to the lounge as she gave me a brief tour of the house. It's the first time I'm being taken round the house that it's not to take part in something horrible. Like the fight at the arena and my marriage ceremony just the day before."You're Luna now, Faye. You're second in command only to Nathan. Carry yourself with authority."I looked at the woman in su

Faye"Yvonne, this place is too much." I glanced around the fully decorated condo, my excitement simmering with the idea of this space being mine to do with as I please.The place is amazing. More than I could have hoped for, and I’ve only made it to the living room. There is a huge fireplace and a big soft gray sectional sofa that looks fluffy and comfortable. Big pillows line most of it and it looks so cozy. There is light everywhere, shining in from the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over Vegas."That place is perfect." she told me on the phone."The security is top notch.You can order food whenever you want and they have a gym and a spa downstairs. Everything you need with only a call.""It’s safe," she pushed. "You could come stay with me if you’d prefer. I’d love to have you at home, but I thought you might want your own place."I'd started my post graduate studies, this time nearer to home and I'd gotten a whole condo to stay in for the duration of my studies. Staying wit
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 161: Fresh Start
TWO MONTHS LATERFAYEI sat in front of Yvonne as she explained the dynamics of our business relationship with some other company.I wasn't listening to her. I was mostly just nodding, so she could continue to speak. "Faye? Faye? Are you listening?"I sighed and nodded, not knowing how to tell her what bothers me. "Faye tell me. You know you haven't spoken a lot about what happened in that forest with the Black Saint. I can't believe you went in there without letting me know." She still spoke of it frequently with anger l, but she was beginning to forgive me. It wasn't everyday a person's niece went to the forest of lost souls and made it out alone. I sighed again and she scolded me angrily."That's the fifteenth sigh today, fifteenth, and it's not even mid morning yet. Why do you sound like you lost a loved one, my dear?""Maybe cause I did lose a loved one?"I told her, my face falling as I remembered said loved one again. "Is this about Nathan?"I looked at her and nodded. I c
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 160: I Love You, Goodbye
NATHANThe witch died how she had planned for me to die. A fitting end for someone who'd come with the sole aim of destroying me. Faye massaged her wrists where those damn fools must have tied her up before. I moved to her and held both her wrists in my hands, caressing them softly, so that the ache could go away.She wasn't responding to me. She just stood there, stiffly by my side. I looked into her face and I couldn't read anything.I missed the days when I would look at her face and see what she was thinking, what she was feeling. "Won't you go after him?" Faye asked, pointing in the direction Axel had run in. I shook my head. "Lannon will take care of him."Her mouth dropped open. "Lannon is here too?""Yes, Queeny. He entered the forest the night before we did.""I can't believe you have been lying to me this whole time. About everything!" She screamed in a hurt tone, stepping away from me. I rushed to her, brushing her still wet hair from her face and cupping her face in
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 159: Fruit of The Poisoned Tree
FAYE"Briggs was my sister and you killed her!" she yelled, her voice rising on each word until my ears felt scraped by her shrill tone.Nathan looked bored with the whole thing. He didn't look as bothered by the fact that we were in danger, surrounded by our enemies who had upper hand."So that's why you want to destroy my pack so bad. Well I can't say I'm sorry, Vera. Your sister messed with the wrong pack, just like you're doing now, and she got what she deserved, just like you will." He said, with finality behind his words. She growled and screamed unfamiliar words at him, her magic sending him flying into the concrete wall. I winced as he landed with his arm and felt myself go weak for a second.I was still finding it an ordeal watching Nathan get hurt. It was a lot. "I guess we're done here."Axel said and shifted back from Vera."You can take care of them sweetie, do whatever you please."Vera smirked and strolled around to me.I saw Nathan's body tighten and get ready for a
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 158: Legitimate Luna
FAYEMy heart broke at his words and I felt like a sham at his words. I'd believe I could be Luna because both Yvonne and Axel has stood by me and encouraged me. And now he said this?"Imagine my surprise when after years of devotion to the pack, Yvonne went in search of a daughter I had never heard about. A daughter that had never been around. I was passed over for you?" He said like he still couldn't believe it. "It's a fucking joke, my sweet." I felt sick at the stupid endearment.Tears formed in my eyes and I pressed them closed tightly.I knew Nathan's focus was on me, he would go ballistic of I cried. I wanted to hear all of it.No, I needed to hear everything."I didn't want Yvonne to go looking for you, prayed to the moon goddess that she didn't find you, but guess what? She did. Because this dumbass Buffon,"he said, pointing at Nathan, "threw you out. He couldn't even love you properly then and you still went back to him when you returned home. After all I'd done for you.
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 157: Reigning Pain
FAYEI was sitting in a chair with my arms tied down to the arms of the chair when I came to.The black bag over my face was still there, but it wasn't tight around my face anymore.I tried to look through it but all I could see was little light, peeking at me through the bag.All of a sudden the bag was yanked off my head and I found myself looking at Axel. I felt elated that I'd found him, but I also felt angry about what he'd done. And why did he send people to kidnap me?"Axel," I started.He raised a hand, cutting me off. "it's not just you I need to talk to. I want to talk to your lover too. I wonder what could be holding him back. Does he not love you as much as you think he does, perhaps?"I snorted and his gaze flashed with annoyance."Or maybe he's content to abandon you here. Not even bother coming to get you."I glared at him and said nothing.Axel laughed. "Well, either way, we've got more than enough time together. But first, I think your friend is going to want to mee
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 156: An Alpha's Mate
NATHANThere was a tinkle of laughter in the air when I woke up.The sound was pleasant to my ears and made me ache to find the owner of the laugh.My eyes slid open and rested on Faye. Something was making her happy this morning.I could relate too, cause I felt really happy too. Despite everything that had happened yesterday, it was great to see that we were okay.In fact, we were more than okay. We had finally talked about the part of me that I'd always locked away, never wanted to talk about with anyone, or show anybody.She giggled again, looking up at something I couldn't see and I had to ask her. "Heyy, Queeny." I said, wondering how she'd react this time to the nickname she was always irritated by. "Heyyy." She replied, not really paying me much attention. There was an excitement to her movements though, and a wide smile on her face. I could watch her smile all day, or just listen to her laugh and feel good when the day ended. "What are you doing?" I asked her.Not to
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 155: Cheese In The Mouse Trap
FAYEI held his bandaged hands in my hands. He'd scared the hell out of me when he had run out on me like that. I couldn't believe what I had heard. He'd said Dad, and then he'd started calling out mother.I didn't know what he'd been seeing but it sure felt very intense from where I had witnessed it.There was no one else in the forest except for me and Faye, everything else was false. I told myself repeatedly, trying to quell the worry I had now. What if I was the problem that needed to be stopped?What if I saw things just as clearly as Nathan had?I shook my head and refused to fall for it. "We need to keep moving." Nathan said to me and I agreed.We had to leave that area. We had both taken a drink of the potion now, and nothing more could happen to us for a few more hours.It was getting dark now. I didn't know if this was an effect of the forest magic or something else but we had to rest. We stopped and collected wood for a fire together.We stacked the wood and then s

NATHANI'd scared her badly.For her to have cracked and spilled those tears in front of me.She was so icy now, I doubted she ever cried infront of anyone.I had felt something change between us. She wasn't saying anything now, just walking stiffly beside me. I looked ahead, raising tree branches that hung low so that both of us could make our way through.We trudged on, the low bushes and weeds brushing against our thighs and lower legs.The roots that were off the ground were not easy to spot, and almost brought her down twice, with me reaching out to steady her and getting rebuffed each time.I could take that.For now. I would take it until she didn't want to throw me off anymore. Couldn't reject me.I walked around a tree and her eyes followed me sharperly, showing me she was watching me, even though she pretended not to be. I chuckled to myself, coming out onto the path we were walking.Something felt eerily quiet about the forest.It wasn't just that I already knew it was
