Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 94: Black Saint's Torment
NATHANThe insomnia was really beginning to weigh on me. I felt tired and damn sleepy. I blinked multiple times to rid myself of the sleepiness. I sat behind my desk and stared at my computer screen. It was way past midnight and here I was, refusing to go back to the pack house and get a good night's sleep. That's because I couldn't get a fucking wink of sleep in that place. I had asked my assistant, Avril, to email me some files earlier before she left for the day and I had to go through them. I was working like I had some imaginary deal to complete with an investor or something else. Avril kept throwing me worried glances. She hadn't brought up the endless hours I spent here yet, even though I suspected she would soon. I could have easily done this tomorrow, but it wasn't as if I could go home and get some sleep. I was sure I'd have that fucking nightmare again. Every time I shut my eyes, I would see her. With the baby. And their eyes, fuck! I hated looking at anything slightly
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 95: Guilt Trip
NATHANThe fucking wound wasn't healing. Fuck!He stood at the doorway, breathing heavily. "Lannon... Look, man, I can explain." I started. I let my eyes fall to the open hallway, a silent request that he should close the door.He stared at me with his unyielding gaze before he walked inside and slammed the door shut. With all the alcohol I had been drinking since I came back, the sound rang in my eardrums some seconds before it stopped."Won't you seat down?" I asked.He glared at me so hard that if eyes really killed, I would have dropped dead."Do I look like I fucking came for a cup of coffee and talks with you, Nate? Talk." He ordered me, folding his hands on his chest.If it were any other person, I would have kicked their ass at that order, angry or not, but this was Lannon and I really should have told him earlier. He noticed what he'd done and lowered his arms and sat down in front of me. A silent apology, which I accepted. Seriously, fuck the timing. It felt like all the
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 96: Different Still
FAYE Today was the last day of school before we graduated. Kate and I were super excited. I thought it would be awkward graduating high school at nineteen, but it really wasn't. Instead, I'd had a year where I'd been myself and been in an environment with people my age. Besides Kate, I had more friends now. But Kate was still the only one I was closest to. It wasn't my fault that I finished high school later, anyway. It was Joseph's fault. Axel had trained me in marshal arts and self defense some months ago and now I was much stronger than I was before, even though I was still latent. It bothered me. How was it I had such a powerful Alpha for a father and I was born latent? When the time comes, would it be a valid reason for the pack to reject me? To turn me away and refuse to put me on the throne? Was I even worth it? Worth all this attention, time and effort being put into me? I thought that by now my wolf would have awakened, but nothing. I didn't feel even a hint of any
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 97: A Luna's Journey
FAYEDays later and I still couldn't believe I was done with school. I woke up from sleep and lay in bed for a bit, staring off into space. I didn't have to get ready for school. That made me smile just thinking about it. I was through with high school now. I'd gotten a diploma. At some point last year, I'd really believed I would never finish school. I went to the bathroom and started my daily routine of taking a shower and brushing. This time for different reasons. I went into my closet and changed into a simple dress before heading downstairs.I heard Axel's voice and a little bark. What was that?I walked into the living room and saw Axel."Hey. You've been sleeping for a long time." Axel said."Hi " I said to him and turned to the furry little creature that stood by his feet.I let out a squeal and rushed to his side. "Is that a puppy?" I asked, moving closer to it."Yeah." Axel answered."Oh my gosh, such a cutie!" I said, smiling and leaning down to pet the puppy behind the
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 98: Unspoken Truths and Tequilas
NATHANHoly crap, it was fucking loud in here.I motioned toward the bar and Lannon caught my drift as we threaded our way through the crowd and went to the corner bar.The music stopped for a bit, even though my ears kept thumping right along.Almost immediately, another song came on, blaring loudly through the speakers, making me scowl.I'd been hoping it would stop long enough for me to ask the bartender for a drink. Now I would have to holler at the guy.The bartender was preppy. Wearing a black shirt and looking so serious, I almost laughed.He probably thought since it was a sort of corporate party, he had to watch himself."Hey man, loosen up!" Lannon yelled at the guy.We ordered tequila shots, shouting across the bar at him. He threw us a thumbs up sign to show he'd heard us. We accepted our drinks and both of us turned around, drink in hand, to survey the assortment of people in the dimly lit interior."Your place is going to be super wrecked after this." Lannon said. I he
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 99: Grad Blues
FAYE"TO COLLEGE," Mira said, lifting her shot glass filled with chilled Patron high in the air. "May it remember us fondly as it kisses our sweet asses goodbye!""Cheers!" I yelled in unison with the table as we clinked our glasses together before tapping them on the table and throwing them back. I hissed as the tequila stung my nose and throat, quickly reaching for a lime and sucking it dry."Shit, that burns," Mira laughed, her blue eyes watering."I hate tequila," I agreed, dropping the dry lime in the bowl and reaching for my beer."Same, but it gets the job done," Mira said. Mira and I both tilted our beers to our lips and took a long pull of it. Mira slid off her bar stool and pointed at me. "Be right back, I have to pee." I nodded at her and turned my attention to the other group of grads in the high scale bar where we were celebrating. Mira was my project partner in one of my classes. We’d gotten to know each other a lot over the last few years, especially being that we w
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 100: On Special Occasions
FAYEI should have guessed he'd show up here. But how had he known which bar and which part of town we'd be in? Mira cranked her neck in the same direction as the entrance to the bar. She told me not to look, but of course I didn’t listen — how could I?Axel had just walked into the bar, and I had to see for myself. As soon as I spotted him, my heart jumped, and the answer to the question Mira had asked just minutes ago became clear in my mind. It had been only a few months since the last time he'd visited.He had gotten busier and his visits had become few and far in between because of his workload and business trips. He'd told me he couldn't make it to the grad ceremony, the same as Yvonne.I hadn't minded that. They'd been present a lot already, and I wasn't so fragile that I'd need family today too. My mouth watered and, like a magnet, his eyes found mine just as the door swung closed behind him.He came with a group of men, all dressed in suits, and one clapped him on the sho
Surrendering To The Billionaire Alpha Chapter 101: Memories That Last Forever
FAYEI loved the way Axel’s one hand rested easily on the steering wheel while the other held the gear shift. I loved the way the warm breeze whipped in through the windows of his new Porsche. I loved the easy conversation, and the easy silence — because we knew each other so well now. Better than when I'd left home. Axel let me choose the playlist as we caught up, him filling me in on his work, and what was going on with Yvonne, while I talked about my relief at finishing school finally, and reminisced about the things I would miss about Uni. Even though it had been hard, studying for a business degree, I had finally gotten it. "I can’t believe you're driving a Porsche now," I commented, running my hands along the edge of my seat.It was literally brand new, decked out, and it was dark and edgy. The interior was leather and sleek, the dashboard advanced, and the paint job was matte black. Even his rims were a dark charcoal gray, and I loved the way he looked in the driver seat —

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
