“My King!”
Rain had just opened his mouth to speak again, when suddenly a man appeared, who I instantly recognized. It was the same alpha wolf who’d been there when I woke up the first time.
Elijah--- and I didn’t know his last name...
“There’s a situation that needs your attention!”
“Why do I have a feeling you’re only showing up when I’m spending time with my angel?” Rain groaned, and made a rumbling sound deep in his throat, that was pure annoyance. His attention was soon on me again, his fingers gently brushing an unruly strand of hair away from my face.
I gulped hard once more...
His presence had a strange, calming effect on me. Despite his ominous aura and powerful build, he somehow chased away the shadows of the past and made me feel safe and protected… And that was when I realized that I’d been desperately clutching ont

Selena’s POVI woke up to the familiar sensation of the hospital room. My body wasn’t in agony, so I counted that as a blessing, although I knew that my reckless behavior definitely had pulled some stitches yesterday.Why had I done it?I didn’t even know myself. It was stupid and reckless and completely unnecessary. Everyone here already hated me, and yet Elijah had been sort of kind to me. Why had I put him at risk for my own selfish needs to--- to see Rain? Why did my body and mind yearn for him?It didn’t make any sense!Groaning, I tried to run a hand down my face, hoping it would explain my unusual behavior. But a tug on my wrist reminded me that I was still hooked up to an IV and--- yeah, maybe that explained it.Drugs! “I told you, you wouldn’t like it,” a rough voice suddenly said next to me. I turned to see Elijah sitting

Selena's POV“Hmm, I knew you were perfect,” Rain grinned instead of answering. “You don’t beat around the bushes; I like it.” He then sat up and pulled the side table over, revealing a full English breakfast. Upon seeing it, my stomach rumbled, reminding me that I hadn’t eaten anything since the day before.I tried to restrain myself, but seeing all this delicious food and having the rich scent of bacon and eggs fill my nose, had my own primal side coming to the surface…I dived in!“Thanks, Elijah. That was all,” the alpha suddenly said coolly, and my head snapped up, barely aware that they’d been watching me. But Rain wanted me all to himself, the possessive and dangerous glint in his eyes speaking volumes. And like the wise man he was, the beta gave a curt nod before he turned and left.“Those men wanted me to send for my mate and bring her here,” Rain finally answered my question, surprising me. I didn’t honestly expe

Selena’s POV“I think I’m ready to play our game again,” I said, setting the fork down with deliberate care. Ever since realizing that everyone here would jump at the chance of murdering me, I hadn’t had the greatest appetite. But the second Rain realized this, he’d pestered and prodded me about it, in his usual non-bullshit manner. Eventually, he figured it out and since then, he’d made a point to eat a bite of everything before serving it to me…Which once more left me so confused…He was so full of controversy, not even a hyperactive collie could jump through all the hoops he had me jumping through to understand him. And then – out of nowhere – he was the sweetest, most caring person I’d ever been in contact with. Always putting my comfort and well-being first, looking at me as if I were the moon and the stars in the night sky.I didn’t know what to mak

Selena's POVDespite everything, I was still measuring all the interactions we had by the standards my father had forced upon me. To always weigh my words and find hidden meaning in every little gesture made.Because that was my life!Small hints and reading between the lines had kept me on edge, never being able to take anything at face value. Everything was done or said with hidden agendas, leaving me on guard 24/7. It had created a wall of distrust around my heart and mind of self-preservation. I had been so conditioned by my father’s abuse that I couldn’t see anything else…I didn’t want that for the rest of my life!Something in me shifted, as I realized something important. If I truly wanted to be free of my father’s rain and the golden cage he had built for me, then I couldn’t keep clinging to the mentality of a prisoner. I couldn’t keep living my life waiting for the next blow...I turned to Rain, a

Selena’s POVI couldn’t relax or eat for the rest of that day, the images of Rain’s face twisted in pain permanently imprinted on my mind. All day I kept my eyes on the hospital door. With every step I heard my heart jump, expecting him to walk through it.But it was never him...Hell, at one point I even grew so bold I went up to the guards outside and asked about him. They seemed kind enough, one of them even offering to sit and chat for a while if I was bored. But I didn’t dare to trust them, so I quickly excused myself and locked the door.At night, I twisted and turned in my bed, unable to stop thinking about what had happened. Was he hurt? Why was he in pain? I tried to think about the reasons, but werewolves didn’t get sick like that. Their immune system fought off most infections and colds within hours, and they could as easily digest raw meat as fruits and veggies.So what had happened to him?Once

Selena's POVThe King and Queen were already dead. Their daughter – no older than me – had been left to the vile swines my father commanded--- my heart constricted thinking about what she must have gone through. Mercifully – maybe – someone had run a knife through her heart, killing her…And then there was--- him!The Crown Prince…He’d barely been alive when my mother stopped his torture and my father ordered them to take him away. My mother had screamed at my father, calling him a traitor and a coward. And while they argued, I’d made my move!With my heart in my throat, I’d followed the guards, waiting for an opening. The halls had been littered with death and blood, making my young stomach turn and bile threatening to spill. But I bit it all back, picking up a discarded gun, and rushed after them. When they least expected it, I held up the gun--- and pulled the trigger!I killed for him…

Selena’s POVI let my fingers caress the back of the books on my lap, the titles and letters jumbled in my mind. My thoughts kept circling the same frustrating puzzle, but I kept coming to the same even more vexing conclusion.I couldn’t place Rain in my past!My mind was a locked room with no key. The more I tried to force it open, the more I felt like I was suffocating in my own thoughts. What was even more irritating was the fact that he seemed to know me so well. Not in a way where he knew my favorite color or my favorite food. But he knew things about me that--- it just got under my skin in a way that made me feel freaked out.And wrapped up in safety all at the same time...“Anything else I can get for you, Your Highness?”My head snapped up as Elijah stood, ready to leave. Had he just---

Before I knew what was happening, he’d pulled down the duvet, leaving me squealing from the sudden cold of the hospital room.“Rain!”But he didn’t reply. Instead, he pulled his huge body onto the bed and was snuggling into me, hugging me like I was his goddess damned plushie or something.“What the---?!” I shrieked, but my voice was meek and breathless. My cheeks heated, and I had to bite back a scream. I’d never had a man in my bed – or this close to me before

Selena’s POVAlthough I’d told her about werewolf mates, I hadn’t told her what it meant to be one. And one glance at the poor beta, I could see that her words hurt him more than a silver blade to the gut. His eyes flickered desperately to me, begging me to help him.I turned to look at my best friend again. I hated seeing her scared and unsure of what was going on, especially considering her past. But was it really my place to tell her? She’d done so much for me and been so kind when I needed her help. Even now, when I was in a dire situation with Rain, she still stood by me, skipping out on her own job and health for my sake.Sighing, I decided that I was going to play cupid…“Beta, could you give us a minute, please?” I asked gently, gesturing for the wolf to leave the room. To my surprise, he actually did what I told him, giving me a curt nod and leaving the room.I turned to Stella---

Selena’s POVI woke up, confused as to where the hell I was. But suddenly everything came back and once more my hand flew to my stomach – startling Stella, who jumped up, ready to fight even with her eyes closed still.“Sorry about that,” I grinned, feeling bad for startling her, but still had to laugh at the cartoonish display. She blinked her eyes open, smacking her lips lazily and looking around. Although, as a nurse, she had spent countless nights and days sleeping in the hospital when she had to work overtime or had a double shift, so she didn’t look too surprised by the whole ordeal.“Well, that’s one way to get pretty,” she yawned, stretching and working out a couple of kinks. “I can’t remember the last time I slept that well! And don’t apologize, you silly bird. You’re pregnant and have been through an ordeal. It’s OK for you to take a break.”Yeah

***End flashback***Present time...Rain’s POVFor a long time, I’d been angry because I didn’t understand Selena’s desire to be free and feel independent. I hadn’t realized how the castle I considered my home was her prison. I’d placed my idea of her, of our future, on a pedestal, worshiping it like a false god.And hell, I’d needed it!It had been the one thing that had kept me going during my darkest time. When my hands were drenched in blood, and when the people I trusted stabbed me in the back. When I felt like giving up and wondered if I should just take my own life – to end my own misery--- those dreams had been the only thing that kept me going…I remembered being alone and isolated, my wolf howling with grief and loneliness. He belonged in a pack, with his family and--- but everyone he met betrayed him. Everyone was eag

***Flashback***Seven months ago...Rain's POVI stormed into the throne room, making everyone snap to attention. The chatter instantly died down; some of the wolves who knew me well were smart enough to shrink back. My thunderous expression rarely left anything in its wake other than blood and bodies...“Did I?” I thundered, jumping onto the high rise where my throne stood, and spun to face my pack along with the many representatives from other packs that always milled about at the castle. “Or did I not declare to everyone under my command that Selena Throme was not to be harmed in any way?”The room fell deadly silent. Those who knew me well kept their mouth shut and heads low, not willing to risk having my claws sink into them. All the other idiots, however, looked to each other with confused expressions, wondering what I was talking about.Then, one brave
Surrogate to the Blood Alpha Chapter 68: Regret
Rain’s POVHearing my mate cry was just about the most painful thing I would ever hear. But despite it all, I couldn’t help but cling to the fact that there was hope…“She still loves me,” I sighed in relief--- but the fact also speared my heart like a silver blade. “But it’s not enough to convince her.”Fear clawed at my chest, and I’d long since decided that I hated this feeling. Hated feeling helpless and weak, unable to protect the people I loved.What if she chose to run away before I had a chance to explain everything? Before I had a chance to apologize and tell her how much I loved her? That she was the only one I ever wanted, and how sorry I was for how I acted?That I’d been a fucking asshole!My hands flexed and my fingers dug into the palm of my hands, frustrations of being so fucking helpless making my body shake. The witch had teleported in---

Selena’s POV“I’ve only ever slept with one woman my entire life and you’re her,” Rain snapped at me, his voice sending shivers down my spine. “I’m not interested in anyone else and I’ll keep repeating it to you until it penetrates your fucking skull!”His words left me utterly flabbergasted, spinning around in my mind over and over again, like a carousel. A part of me wished it were true. That this could explain everything and I could finally heal from my pain.The easy way…But nothing in life was ever easy. And I had to keep my emotions out of this. Emotions had no place in making choices that would affect my child. I had to rely on myself. On my experiences and on the fact that I had to see past people’s words. It was the actions and patterns that spoke to their characters. And Rain---I could never believe him!He could as easily lie ab

Selena’s POVI was close to tears seeing the beautiful mate moment unfold before me. And I hated myself for it. This was a happy occasion for what I now considered my best friend. I wanted this to be the most memorable moment in her life. She deserved it after everything she’d been through.And I wanted to be happy for her!But some part of me also remembered that I would never have the same thing happen to me. I was a mere human and would never know the connection of a true mate bond. And no matter how many times the man I loved more than life itself claimed that I was his, I’d never be his mate.And he’d always choose her over me...I tried to bite back the tears and smiled through the pain.“Congratulations, Elijah,” I said softly, but the wolf just barely spared me a glance. “She’s a good one.”“You better be talkin’ ‘bout me, songbird,”

Selena’s POVPain flared in my chest and my head suddenly pounded like a drum. Darkness swam at the edge of my vision and I suddenly felt dizzy. Somewhere far away an alarm went off and the machine next to me started blaring. My pulse started to buzz in my ear and my heart felt as if it was trying to break free of my chest.“NURSE!” Rain bellowed next to me, just as I doubled over in pain. I couldn’t breathe, and I hated that I was once again relying on Rain to get me help...“Rain?”Someone called out, and I immediately recognized Elijah’s voice.“Get a fucking nurse! She’s sick,” Rain snapped--- and came around to gently pat my back, sending currents of calming sparks throughout my body. “Breathe, my Azure. Remember to breathe.”I wanted to yell at him again. Tell him I wasn’t “his Azure”, but I felt too sick to do so. Bile rose and,

My stomach twisted violently and I felt sick.He knew!He would never leave me alone now. He would follow me to the end of the earth and I could never be free. I would have to escape and live for the rest of my life looking over my shoulder. Wondering if every little sound was him coming back to blow my life up once more. Never knowing if I was safe. Never knowing if the people on the street were strangers…Or sent to kill us!And I couldn’t protect us! I was just a human. I didn’t have claws or canines to protect us. I didn’t have a wolf’s senses that could alert me to danger or their superior strength and speed. There was no way I could protect us from
