The Alpha's Human Surrogate 28. Heir
Alexander’s POVShe immediately claps in excitement and leans back into the chair. “You can’t go back on your world,” she warns. “Have I ever done so?”She nods. “Yes, you have.”I immediately look at her in surprise. I know I may not be the type to show familiarity, but it is what makes my promises golden anyway. And I don’t think I have ever gone back on my word. Especially not to the queen of trouble herself.“That’s impossible.”“You don’t remember?” She recounts, “When I got into trouble during high school after getting drunk in a bar and you promised to keep it a promise from Grandpa. Didn’t you eventually tell on me?”I finally remember and can’t help but laugh. “That’s not considered a betrayal. It was a necessary evil. Moreoever, i didn’t promise. You simply assumed I did when I didn’t respond.”“Tch...” She clicks her tongue. “You’re even more deceitful than I am.”I shake my head and clasp my palms as I regard her. She is still heavily dressed, which means she hasn’t gott

Sophia’s POVI sit in my room, surrounded by a stack of unopened mail. I flip through the envelopes absentmindedly, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of internships and career prospects. I have applied to several hospitals, hoping to secure a position for the summer, but the lack of response is beginning to dampen my spirits.Just as I’m about to give up hope, a notification pops up on my phone screen. It’s an email from Grace Hospital, and my heart skips a beat. I eagerly click on the message, my eyes scanning the words as they appear before me.“Congratulations!” The email begins. “We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted for an internship position at Grace Hospital.”I can’t believe my luck. Out of all the hospitals I have applied to, it’s Grace Hospital that has responded first. I have heard stories about the intensity and demanding nature of internships there, especially from my friend Lily, who has completed her training at the same institution. But I am determin

Emilia’s POVI sit behind the wheel, my hands tightly gripping the steering wheel as I prepare to drive the kids to the supermarket. Alexander left for work earlier today, leaving me alone with Daisy and Daniel to babysit. But I needed some necessities so I am bringing them along for this errand. Daisy, the younger of the two, bounces in her seat with infectious excitement.“Aunt Emilia, what’s the supermarket all about? What do we do there?” Daisy’s voice is filled with genuine curiosity and eagerness.I can’t help but smile at Daisy’s enthusiasm, finding it endearing. “Well, Daisy, the supermarket is where we go to get all the things we need for our everyday life. We’ll be picking up groceries like fruits, vegetables, and other food items. And we’ll also grab some household essentials like cleaning supplies and toiletries.”Daisy’s eyes widen with wonder as she processes the information. “Wow, Aunt Emilia! Can we explore the whole supermarket? Will there be a lot of people?”I chuck

Emilia’s POV As we continue our journey through the supermarket, someone suddenly calls my name and I turn to look. To my surprise, it was Dakota, one of my high schoolmates whom I haven’t met in a long time. I pause and regard her. It’s been a long time since I last saw her but she still seems to have that air of arrogance around her. I eye her, wondering why she chose to call me and say hi when she could have walked away. We have never been on good terms anyway. “Hi,” she calls out as she walks forward. “It’s been such a long time.” I feign a smile and respond, “Yes, it’s been a long time.” Dakota looks me up and down, her eyes lingering on my face for a moment. “You haven’t changed much,” she comments casually. I raise an eyebrow, somewhat taken aback by her statement. “Well, thank you, I suppose,” I reply, not entirely sure how to interpret her words. She quickly recovers and forces a smile on her face. “You’re living a good life, I can tell,” she says, her voice tinged wit

Sophia’s POV I turn my attention to the children, a gentle smile gracing my face, and approach them with a reassuring presence. “Hey there, are you both okay?” The older brother, his voice steady despite his trembling, speaks up. “We didn’t mean to cause any trouble. My sister was just chasing the puppy, and she accidentally tripped. I’m sorry about the pearl.” I pat the boy gently on the shoulder, admiration gleaming in my eyes. “You handled that very well. Accidents happen, and it’s important to take responsibility and apologize. Let’s see if we can work things out, alright?” The woman says from behind impatiently, “I am not interested in all this pity party. Pay me up and let me go!” Probably shocked by the woman’s sudden loud voice, the young girl begins to cry. I turn to the woman and say sharply, “What is your problem? I already told you we will solve it. What was the need to scare the kids!?” “Why are you being so rude?” She fires back. “How dare you talk to me like t

Emilia’s POV I raise an eyebrow, taken aback by Daisy’s sudden request. My eyes shift to the small, adorable puppy in her arms, its innocent gaze captivating me. “Daisy,” I begin in a gentle tone, “we can’t just take someone else’s dog. It wouldn’t be right to keep something that doesn’t belong to us.” Daisy’s bottom lip quivers, and she pouts, pleading with me. “But Aunt Emilia, the puppy doesn’t seem to have an owner. I found it, and it feels like it wants to be with me. Can’t I keep it?” Sighing softly, I understand Daisy’s attachment to the puppy. I notice how comfortable and at ease the dog seems in her embrace, as if it has already found its home. Perhaps Daisy could provide the love and care it needs. “I understand how you feel, Daisy,” I say, my voice filled with empathy. “But we have to make sure we do the right thing. We need to try and find the puppy’s owner first. If we can’t locate them, then we can consider you taking care of it.” A spark of hope gleams in Daisy’s

Emilia’s POV I come out of the room at noon, expecting to find Alexander already gone to work. However, as I step into the living room, I’m taken aback by the sight before me. The kids, Daisy and Daniel, are happily playing, their laughter filling the air. Confusion washes over me as I wonder why they aren’t at school. “Hey, guys! Why aren’t you at school today?” I ask, furrowing my brows in confusion. Daniel, always quick-witted and sharp-tongued, clicks his tongue and mocks me for not knowing that it’s the weekend. “Seriously, Aunt Emilia? It’s Saturday. No school today,” he retorts, grinning mischievously. I can’t help but laugh at my own forgetfulness, correcting myself with a playful smile. “Oh, right! How could I forget? It’s the weekend. Silly me!” I settle down beside Daisy, feeling warmth in my heart. Daisy, my adorable niece, is holding a little puppy in her arms. It’s the same puppy we had decided to adopt and named Milk. Daisy’s affection for the tiny creature is evid

Emilia’s POV I am nervous due to how cold Alexander looks, and I muster up the courage to ask him what happened, mentioning that I thought he had already gone to work. The room feels tense as I cautiously approach him, my heart pounding in my chest. “Alexander, what’s going on?” I ask, my voice tinged with nervousness. “I thought you had already left for work.” He looks up at me, his gaze piercing and distant. “Change of plans,” he responds curtly. “I had some things to take care of here.” I swallow hard, trying to maintain my composure. The atmosphere feels heavy, and I can’t shake off the feeling that something is amiss. I decide to steer the conversation away from his unexpected presence at home. “Well, I found the kids downstairs. We were playing together and chatting,” I explain, my voice shaky. “They seem to be having a good time.” Alexander’s expression remains stoic, but I sense a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes. “What were they talking about?” My heart skips a beat, a

The Alpha's Human Surrogate 104
Sophia’s POVAfter the tense negotiations and the binding blood covenant, we finally returned to the safety and comfort of our mansion.

Peace between humans and werewolves was no longer just a distant dream; it was becoming a reality.As we stepped through the door, Alexander pulled me into a warm embrace. His worry for me was evident in his eyes, but he couldn't hide the joy and pride that also shone there. I felt his strong arms wrap around me, and I buried my face in his chest, finding solace in his presence."I was so worried about you, Sophia," he whispered into my hair, his voice tinged with emotion. "You're the bravest person I know."I looked up at him, touched by his words, and managed a weak smile. "It was a necessary sacrifice, Alexander. I believe in what we're doing, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes for peace."His lips met m

Sophia’s POVThe authoritative Wolf Hunters exchanged uncertain glances, clearly taken aback by my proposal. They had never encountered such a gesture of commitment before.One of them, a stern-looking man, finally spoke. "This is a bold offer, Luna, but how can we be sure that this covenant will hold? A hundred years ago, a human girl made a similar covenant, and peace was shattered. Her soul was offered to the Moon Goddess, and yet, it didn't prevent the war."I took a deep breath, understanding the weight of history behind his words. "I believe that this time is different. Alexander, Tyler, Jake, and I, we all trust each other completely. We are willing to do everything in our power to prevent the Moon Goddess from consuming my soul. I am confident that we can make this covenant hold."Alexander's expression was conflicted as he looked at me, "Sophia, I can't bear the thought of you making such a sacrifice. There must be another way."Tyler and Jake, who had been silent until now,

It was a daunting task, but one that I believed in with all my heart.As Alexander and Ethan led the way, I couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude towards them.

Eyes followed us, filled with suspicion

Sophia’s POVThe three days of waiting had been torturous. Each passing hour had only deepened my worry and anxiety. I had called secretary Candace, repeatedly, hoping for any news about Alexander, but the repeated responses of "no news yet" had done little to ease my concern.Daniel and Daisy had sensed the heaviness in the air and had been keeping me company in the living room. Daisy, with her innocent eyes and heart full of love for her father, was the first to voice her concern. "Mom, where's Daddy? Why hasn't he come back yet?"I tried to put on a brave face, forcing a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, sweetie," I said, my voice soft and comforting. "Daddy will be back soon. Maybe he's just been delayed by something. He'll be home before you know it."Daniel, ever the protector and the older sibling, chimed in with his own attempt at reassurance. "Yeah, Daisy, Mom's right. Dad's probably on his way back now. There's nothing to worry about."Daisy seemed to take comfort in her broth

Sophia’s POV The next morning, I woke up with a sense of dread that had settled deep within me. The events of the previous day, the bombing of the Wolf Hunter Organization's headquarters, and the uncertainty of Alexander's safety weighed heavily on my mind. I reached for my phone, my heart pounding in my chest, hoping for a message or some news that would ease my worry. But as I checked my phone, there was nothing—no missed calls, no messages, no updates. I knew that Alexander was involved in a dangerous mission, and I couldn't bring myself to call him and potentially jeopardize his safety. Instead, I decided to call Tyler, hoping that he might have some information. As I dialed Tyler's number, my hands trembled with anticipation. The phone rang, and with each ring, my anxiety grew. Then, to my relief, Tyler answered. "Sophia," I greeted him, my voice filled with worry. "Where are you? Why haven't you been answering my calls?" Tyler's voice sounded hoarse, and I could hear exhaust

Sophia’s POVAs the night wore on, I couldn't shake the nagging worry that gnawed at me. I reached for my phone and dialed Tyler's number, my heart pounding with anticipation. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer. Anxiety crept in, and I redialed the number, hoping for a different outcome. Again, it went unanswered.I tried calling Jake next, praying that at least one of them would pick up and ease my growing apprehension. But the result was the same—no answer, just the cold, unfeeling silence of voicemail.With a heavy heart, I hung up and stared at my phone screen. The minutes ticked by like hours, and it seemed like time had come to a standstill. I couldn't help but worry about Tyler and Jake. They had been through so much, and now, with the Wolf Hunter Organization under attack, their lives hung in the balance.The clock on the wall read 11 o'clock in the evening, but sleep was elusive.

Sophia’s POVAs we held each other, the gravity of the situation sank in. I knew that this was a risky endeavor, that the Rogues were a dangerous and unpredictable enemy. But I also believed in Tyler and Jake, in their vision of a world where wolves and humans could coexist peacefully. And I was willing to do whatever it took to help them achieve that goal.With a heavy heart, Alexander picked up his phone and dialed Ethan's number. The seconds felt like hours as he waited for his second-in-command to answer. When Ethan's voice finally came through the line, it was filled with a mixture of surprise and curiosity."Alpha, what's going on?" Ethan asked. "Just a week ago, you were suggesting we observe the Rogues' movements and not provoke them. Why the sudden change?"Alexander took a deep breath, his fingers gripping the phone tightly. "Ethan, the situation has escalated. The Rogues have bombed the Wolf Hunter Organization's base, causing significant casualties. We can't afford to wait

Sophia’s POVI couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at the TV screen, the news anchor's words echoing in my mind. "Harborview Corporate Center has been bombed, causing chaos and casualties in the area." My heart raced, and my thoughts were consumed by worry for Tyler and Jake.Without wasting a moment, I knew I had to find Alexander, and tell him about this dire situation. I rushed to the car, my hands trembling as I fumbled with the keys. The drive to Alexander's company felt like an eternity as I replayed the news report in my head, trying to make sense of what had just happened.When I finally arrived at the sleek, glass-fronted building that housed Alexander's company, my mind was still racing. I hurriedly parked and practically sprinted to the entrance.

He was engrossed in

Tyler’s POVI clenched my jaw at the mention of Alexander's name. His name seemed to irritate me, but I pushed that feeling aside. Despite my affection for Sophia, I knew that her heart belonged to Alexander. Their bond was strong, and I couldn't let my personal feelings get in the way of her happiness."It's not your fault, Sophia. We knew the risks when we joined the Wolf Hunters. Our investigation into the Rogues is not just for you; it's for the safety of everyone."Sophia's gratitude was evident as she said, "I appreciate it, Tyler. Please be careful out there. I don't want anything to happen to you or Jake.""We will, Sophia," I assured her. "And we'll keep you updated on our progress. You stay safe too."Jake had been listening to our exchange. His expression was a mix of determination and concern. "She's worried about us, Ty.""Sophia, you don't have to worry," I said, trying to convey the sincerity in my voice. "We're here to protect you, no matter what it takes.""Thank you,
