The Alpha King's Accidental Surrogate

They managed to catch up to me and my Beta as we made our way to the doctor's office for my appointment. 

Today's appointment was far from the usual checkups I'd come for monthly. 

I had come with a sole purpose; donate my sperm and leave the doctors to find a suitable surrogate that would carry my child. 

It was quite simple and I expected results in a week. 

“Alpha, good morning.” A lady wearing a white doctor's coat greeted us as we reached the hallway. “Dr. Gerald is expecting you to please come with me.” 

Wordlessly, I followed her, my nerves starting to kick in which was laughable considering my reputation as a ruthless and rigid, stone cold ruler. 

My nerves were acting up because of how important this was to me. 

Having a family has always been no 1 on my list of priorities. Sure having a wife would have been the fastest route to take considering how desperate I was to father a child. 

The gender was of no consequence to me although having a son meant I had an heir but I didn't give a fuck about all that. 

“Alpha Dante, it's lovely to see you again,” Dr. Gerald was waiting for us at his doorstep when we got there. “Thank you Helen, I'll take it from here. Come in Alpha,” 

He swiftly dismissed everyone else except my beta of course as both of us followed him into his office. 

I sveuxhed up my nose as I took in the size. It was quite small in my opinion and too degrading for a reputable hospital such as this one. 

“Alpha, after our conversation yesterday I've made all the necessary preparations and we can go to the lab when you're ready.”

“In a minute,” I shook my head as my tone took on a slight edge. “I don't want just anyone as my surrogate because I'm not that desperate.” 

He nodded rather too quickly and I narrowed my eyes. “Of course Alpha, only the best for you and nothing else.” 

Even though I didn't trust his response, I decided to let it slide. 

“If you're ready Alpha, let's proceed to the lab,” 

I rose to my feet at the same time he rounded the table and met me by the door. 

He reached out and held the door open for me, his actions nothing short of ass kissing and I rolled my eyes. 

The sooner we got the samples taken, the better before I went off on him. 

****

The hospital parking lot was quite scanty which was rather strange but I wasn't bothered by it, all my thoughts centered on the outcome of the IVF procedure. 

I wanted to be a mother so bad I could taste it but I had been trying for years with no luck. 

If this IVF procedure failed, it was back to square one for me because I had poured all my savings into this. 

That's why as I walked into the hospital and made my way to the reception, I kept praying for good news. 

“Good evening, please I'm here to see Dr. Gerald,” I told the receptionist, skipping the usual pleasantries. 

She nodded and checked the records. “Dr. Gerald will see you in a few minutes. Please have your seat,” 

Five painful minutes of waiting passed and Dr. Gerald showed up. 

“Please come up with me, Selene.” 

I followed him, muttering a prayer all the way to his office. 

“Have a seat.” He went round the table and sat down in his chair as well. “How are you feeling today?* 

“Anxious,” I responded as I let out a forced laugh. “What's the result Doc?” I was practically sitting on pins and needles waiting for him to tell me my fate.

For years I had been trying to get pregnant with my husband and with this one result, I could finally be a mom and make my husband a father. 

“I'm pleased to tell you that the process was successful and you're pregnant.” 

Joy, pure undiluted joy hit me and I found myself beaming loudly. 

Even though I had been praying for the results to be positive, I had also been preparing myself to accept the negatives too. 

“Thank you so much, this is such wonderful news.”  

He nodded and started reading a few important things out that I needed to note following the course of my pregnancy. 

I was excited but I tampered it down and forced myself to seep in as much of what he was saying as I could. 

“Remember to register for regular checkups so we can monitor the pregnancy and spot any complications early enough before it becomes a problem.” 

My head kept hobbling up and down as I nodded in response to everything he was saying. 

After he was done, he stood up and I got up as well, meeting him halfway. 

He held his hand out but I ignored it and hugged him instead, my eyes filling up with unshed tears. 

He stiffened at first, my actions completely unexpected but eventually he wrapped a large hand around me and patted my back soothingly. 

“Thank you so much Doctor, you don't know how long I've dreamed of this day.” 

“It's no problem Mrs. Hunter, I was just doing my job.”  he pulled away and gestures towards the door. “Let me see you off. I'm sure you can't wait to share this wonderful news with your husband.” 

I walked with him and listened as he listened out a couple of multivitamins I had to get for the pregnancy. 

“Alpha Dante?” Dr. Gerald paused at his office door and stared at a man who was standing there. 

I recognized him instantly. Everyone knew who he was because his name was renowned. 

I could feel a sharp gaze on me and looked up to find him staring intently at me. 

My hands went up to my face and I touched every angle wanting to know if there was something there. 

Or else why would he be staring at me so intently? 

“Do you know Alpha Dante, Mrs Hunter?” 

“No,” I was too quick to respond. 

“No,” he answered, speaking for the first time. “I just thought she seemed familiar.” 

“I'll just excuse you,” I said, grateful for a chance to escape.
