The Alpha's Surrogate Bride Chapter Fifty
CATHERINE POV"I want you to imagine yourself as a little girl," the voice said. "Can you do that?"I closed my eyes and I focused. I imagined myself as a little girl, about five years old. I was in my room, with my dolls and my stuffed animals. I was sitting on the floor, playing."Good," the voice said. "Now, I want you to imagine that you are playing with your dolls and your stuffed animals. What are you playing?"I thought for a moment, and then the scene became clear. "I'm having a tea party," I said."You are having a tea party," the voice said. "Your dolls and stuffed animals are all sitting around the table. They are chatting and laughing. The sun is streaming in through the window. It's a warm, sunny day. Can you feel the sunlight on your skin?"I nodded. I could feel the sun on my skin, and I felt the happiness of the little girl. "Yes," I said."Good," the voice said. "Now, I want you to imagine that someone is at the door.""You hear a knock at the door," the voice said. "

CATHERINE POVThere, in the bushes, I saw a pair of glowing eyes. A low growl sounded from the darkness, and I took a step back. But then, a small, fluffy head poked out from the bushes. It was a tiny, adorable creature, with large eyes and a pink nose. It looked up at me, and it let out a happy squeak.I let out a sigh of relief. It was just a little forest creature, and I was no longer afraid. I knelt and held out my hand, and the creature crawled into it. I looked at it, and it looked back at me.As I cradled the creature in my hands, I felt a tingle of magic. It was a strange feeling like something was pulling me towards the forest. And then, I heard a voice in my head. It was soft and soothing, and it said, "Welcome to the Valley of Dreams."I looked around, and I saw that everything had changed. The castle was gone, and the forest had been replaced by a lush meadow. In the distance, I could see a sparkling lake, and flowers were blooming everywhere. It was like I had stepped int

CATHERINE POVSuddenly, we heard a thud from outside. We looked out the window, and we saw a figure lying on the ground. It was the figure we had seen earlier. But now, it was lying still, and it didn't move."I think it's dead," the man said."What should we do?" I asked."We need to get out of here," he said. "We need to find help."But we were trapped. The only way out was through the front door, and it was blocked. And we didn't know what was waiting for us outside.We heard a noise, and we turned around. The figure we had seen earlier was standing there, right in front of us. But this time, its face was visible. It was a pale, expressionless face, and its eyes were completely black.I felt a chill run down my spine."What do you want?" the man asked.The figure didn't answer. It just stood there, staring at us."Get away from us!" the man yelled.But the figure didn't move. It just kept staring at us."We're warning you," the man said.Suddenly, the figure raised its hand, and a

I woke up to find myself back in the pack once again. I was filled with a sense of dread, knowing that I would once again have to deal with Philip. I got dressed and headed to the dining room, where I saw him already eating breakfast. He looked up at me with a cold stare, and I knew that I had to tread carefully.As I took my seat at the table, I felt Philip's eyes on me. He was watching me closely as if he was waiting for me to make a mistake. I tried to keep my composure and act naturally, but it was difficult. The tension in the air was palpable. Finally, I decided to break the silence. "Good morning," I said, as I took a sip of my coffee. Philip didn't respond, but I could tell that he heard me. I knew that I had to make conversation, no matter how uncomfortable it might be."How are you doing this morning?" I asked, trying to sound cheerful. Philip still didn't respond.

They had heard stories of other packs trying to invade and claim their territory, but they were determined to protect their home.As they stood guard, the sound of growling filled the air. At first, it was distant, but it quickly grew louder and closer. The guards exchanged worried glances, their hands gripping their weapons tightly.

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.

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.

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

Dissatisfaction echoed like spirits in the air, and the familiar smells of the complex told narratives of a pack in disorder.I couldn't stop thinking about Catherine's captivity in our house; the conflict between my responsibilities as an Alpha and a parent kept me restless all the time.

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. Rather, Catherine stayed imprisoned within our Alpha's house, a live symbol of the treachery that hung over us like a shadow.My thoughts were tinged with doubt.
