Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 69: Lies of Omission
FAYE I turned around in a circle, trying to remember at which point I had gone the wrong way. I was pretty sure I walked toward the lights, but then again, I couldn't see as well in the dark as I had earlier from my room. And the trees shrouded the entire area in thick darkness. Should I try to retrace my steps back to the house? But if I did, I would definitely get caught. I was already lucky I had gotten out without being seen. I took a deep breath and decided to continue. Looking ahead, I saw the faint glow of lights that played peek-a-boo with the leaves. I exhaled. I'll just head in that direction. It had to be Maya's house. As far as I knew, it was the only house in that area. I hastened my steps and walked for minutes before I came out to a rocky road. I moved to cross to the other side when suddenly a horn blared at me. I turned towards the sound and stood in shock as the car sped to where I stood in the middle of the road. Was it Nathan? Had he discovered that I'd
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 70: A Mother's Love
FAYEI couldn't believe what I'd heard. I felt sick to my stomach. And my skin prickled with sweat despite the air conditioning in the room. "Wh.. what?" I whispered.I shivered as cold fear seized me. I heard the words in my head again. He'd drowned the baby… in a tub. In a freaking tub! With his own hands!Maya ignored me. She walked to the closet in the living room and hung up her purse."What do you mean by that?" I asked, chilled with fear but still, sweat dripped off me, wetting my nightdress inside the robe. It stuck to my skin just like the dread which filled me did. It couldn't be true. It had to be a lie. It couldn't possibly be true."Maya..." I squeaked, when she didn't even attempt to say anything."Was he spelled?" I asked.Maya turned around and fixed me with a cold stare."He drowned the baby in cold blood." I flinched."No.. he wouldn't do that. Nathan wouldn't do that!" I said."We also thought that." She said. She came and stood opposite me and leaned forward o
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 71: Damages
NATHANI swiped my identification card to open the heavy glass doors of Carver Tech. It was still an hour before everyone started trickling in, a very nerdy range of tech engineers, data consultants, programmers, research assistants, and other support staff. Still, I was probably an hour behind a few of the board members and Avril, of course.Avril would have arrived first, usually by six AM. I had only taken the last two weeks off work because I had Avril as my secretary. She could handle the heat whenever I was off work until I was back. Daniel wouldn’t have been far behind, but he liked to stop by his favorite coffee shop on the way in and flirt with the cute barista there. He wasn't the type that liked to play. He was the Chief Operations Officer who wouldn't get off my ass about returning to work. I had really wanted to get in early this morning. Things weren't exactly fucked up by my absence, but they needed me to straighten out a couple of stuff urgently. I didn’t bother wit
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 72: An Alpha's Denial
FAYEI watched the doe eyed blonde across from Nathan on the enormous flat screen TV, with her polished looks and soft smiles. Nathan was having an interview. Something about a new tech he was launching. Why did it have to be with her, though? She looked like every other woman who saw Nathan and sat anywhere within five feet of him. Starry-eyed and smitten with his easy charm. The way I'd been when he'd cared about trying with me. He never gave me that attention anymore. And I was slowly beginning to find that I craved it. I also missed his smiles and the sweet endearments he'd only bothered with in the glasshouse.I missed him. I missed all of that. And there he was, shooting the female blondie reporter a hundred mega watts smile that was making her simper, no matter the veil of courtesy and attempt at a professional look. She didn't fool me.“So, your wishes actually came true?” the blondie asked neutrally, relying on her reporter training to hide her the obvious way Nathan affe
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 73: A Brigg's Sized Problem
NATHANI stood in the reception area of the media corporation where we'd just concluded the damned interview, with a cup of coffee in one hand and my phone in the other. The blasted place was teeming with reporters, some of whom had several questions about me. The interview had ended up not revealing any of the things they all wanted to hear. Some juicy secret or news about the eclectic billionaire. I held the cup of coffee an intern had handed to me and took a sip with a hard look on my face. Said intern had even asked for photos with me. I'd obliged, even though I didn't do the picture thing. I was very much unhappy with how fast the news of Faye's pregnancy had spread. One would think Maya's hospital was also impervious to the personal status of the patient being leaked. When Nadia had mentioned having that piece of information, I'd seen red. Who was it that thought they could get away with giving away my secrets that way? Information I needed to be kept private and away from
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 74: Growing Pains
NATHANNo.I wasn't sure I'd heard right. What the hell?"Lannon's healing ability has slowed down. He won't be able to heal like a normal werewolf. He'll heal slower.," She replied, avoiding my eyes.I stood up and paced a little. Was this even possible? I tried to make some sense of it, but I couldn't."Elaborate." I ground out. Zelda glanced down the hall. We were in the living room, close to where Lannon was. In different circumstances, I was sure he'd hear us. "He's out." I told Zelda. We'd left him in the room for him to get some rest, so I was sure he'd be sleeping."I think the wolfsbane did something to him. It was in his system for too long. I'm guessing that there are some leftover wolfsbane particles in him." She explained, crossing her arms."I thought that rare herb of yours cured him. Zelda, the herb was supposed to heal him of everything. That's what you said, wasn't it?" I asked. What was the point of getting the herb if it didn't cure him?"The herb didn't exact
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 75: A Luna's Loss
FAYEBeep. Beep. Beep.What was that annoying sound? I tried to open my eyes, but it felt as if they weighed a ton. Beep. Beep. Beep.The sounds continued repeatedly, pulling me from the darkness. What was it? I'd heard them before, and not too long ago. I forced my eyes open and immediately regretted it. My eyes felt as if they were within two feet of the sun. The lights blinded me, making me dizzy and causing my head to ring.I closed my eyes and waited for a while to open them. The dizzying you have rush of light from the first time cleared from my eyes and I finally managed to peel them open. I blinked twice before my eyes got used to the light. I looked around my surroundings and saw that I was in a way too familiar hospital room. I was back in the hospital. With the white walls and ceilings and grey hospital gowns. Was this Maya's hospital?What happened? I thought to my self. I closed my eyes and tried to remember what happened to me and how I got here.I remembered the
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 76: Man in The Mirror
NATHANI'm stunned by the venom in Faye's voice. And the look of cold bitterness in her eyes. She's never looked at me like that. Spoken to me with that tone of voice. She'd caught me by surprise. This fight I was seeing in her for the first time made me more than a little worried. Had she really wanted a baby that badly?It left me standing there, stricken by her words. Tears rolled down her face as she continued to lash at me in a choked voice. "You've killed my baby. You monster! You won't let me be till you've taken everything and left me out to wither. I hope you're happy now! You've finally gotten what you so badly wanted. Murderer!"The door opened and someone stepped in. I could tell from her smell that it was Maya. She stood close behind me before she went to Faye and placed an arm on her shoulder. Faye flinched away in disgust and anger. It was written plainly on her face. What she thought of us. What she thought of me. "Don't you dare touch me!" She yelled at Maya, her

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
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 154: Ghosts of The Past
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
