The Alpha's Surrogate Bride Chapter Fifty-Six
Catherine'S POVAs I sat at the dining table with Alpha Philips, the silence between us was palpable. The whole table was covered with food like it was a small party for ten grown men. Despite knowing we wouldn't go halfway through the food, Philips still insisted we were served that way.The food set on the table was a delicious spread of meats, vegetables, and bread. The meats were cooked to perfection, with a crispy golden-brown crust on the outside and a juicy, tender interior. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, with vibrant colors that caught the light. There were platters of roasted carrots, green beans, and Brussels sprouts. The bread was freshly baked, with a warm and fluffy texture.The centerpiece of the table was a large platter of succulent roast beef, surrounded by smaller dishes of glazed ham, roast chicken, and grilled sausage. The aroma of the meats was mouth-watering and they were all accompanied by rich, savory gravies and sauces.The table was also set with large

Philips's POVMy suspicion was confirmed the moment the guard barged into the room to tell me Alpha Kevin had come to see me. I had sensed a familiar Alpha aura before then, but I didn't know how or on whom to place it. I stood from my seat, my face contorted with anger. I stormed out of the room, my heavy footsteps echoing through the passageway. The walls of the passageway were lined with portraits of past Alphas of the Blood Slashing Pack. I didn't spare them a glance as I made my way towards the meeting room.The meeting room was located on the top floor of the Blood Slashing Pack's edifice, a towering building that overlooked the city. I walked towards the elevators located at the end of the passageway, my anger giving me energy as I strode towards the elevator. I pressed the button for the top floor, and the elevator doors closed with a soft ding.As the elevator ascended, my mind was filled with thoughts of Alpha Kevin and his visit. I entered the meeting room, the door slamm

Catherine's POVI took the elevator to the top floor, my heart pounding with excitement and fear. I knew I shouldn't be eavesdropping on the meeting between my mate and Philips, but I couldn't help myself. I needed to know what was going on and what was being said about my pack.As the elevator doors opened, I stepped out into a long hallway. The sound of voices grew louder as I made my way towards the meeting room. I could hear my mate's voice, raised in anger, and Philips's deep growl in response. I knew I was getting close.I crept closer to the door, my heart in my throat as I listened to the conversation inside. I could hear my mate accusing Philips of attacking our pack and Philips denying it. I felt a pang of guilt as I realized that my presence in the Blood Slashing Pack may have caused more harm than good.As I listened, I could feel my heart jump as I heard my mate's words, "You have crossed the f*cking line, Philips. You have broken the treaty and killed members of my pack.

Catherine finally got to her workplace, after a long unnecessary speech about traffic safety at the traffic court. She was pissed, to say the least. She was having a bad day, and it wasn't even noon yet. For the first time in a long time, she ignored the greetings of everyone at the entrance of The Quinns Co. and just headed straight for the elevator. She wasn't in the mood for any interactions whatsoever. "Hold the elevator!" She heard a voice call out from afar. Philip was ecstatic. He had initially come for a job interview at The Quinns Co. very early in the morning, but he was told the hiring manager wasn't on seat.Fortunately for him, he met with the Vice President, Philip Quinn. "Exceptional! This is wonderful, Philip." Philip had told him with a happy smile as he pursued his resumé. "Thank you."

As two women propelled into roles of authority, Lizzie and I took the lead in this initiative, trying to mend the broken strands of trust and create a unity of sorts.Lizzie and I met in the large study, which was filled with expensive cherry furnishings and bookcases that held innumerable books.

PHILIP'S POV The sound of my footsteps reverberated across the lavish area, which was opposed to the secret choice I had chosen. Lizzie was sitting at the dining table staring at me expectantly and with anxiety in her eyes.I said, quietly but firmly, "Lizzie, we need to talk."A frown began to develop on her eyebrows as she lifted her head from her plate. Our dining room was spacious and well-furnished, which only served to heighten the significance of the talk that was about to take place."What's happening, Philip?" she said, searching my eyes for information.I sat down across opposite her, the enormity of the speech I intended to utter amplified by the oppressive quiet of the room. "I've accepted a choice, and that's significant because it includes the pack's safety and the possibility of Stanley's treason."Lizzie's eyes narrowed, a mixture of worry and fascination. "Exactly what somewhat choice?"Leaning forward, I placed my palms on the shiny dining tabletop. "I'm about to fa

An eerie silence had descended upon the pack ever since Catherine's duplicity was exposed, leaving me to deal with the unnerving fallout from my choice to reveal her.I had known all along just what I wanted to do: expose Catherine's betrayal, provoke Philip's fury, and see as he banishes her, cutting the treacherous thread that jeopardized the cohesion of our pack. However, when the days grew into evenings, the anticipated removal never occurred.
