The Alpha's Surrogate Bride Chapter Forty-two
PHILPS POV I held my breath as the healer worked, my heart pounding in my chest. I had never seen them work before, but I could tell that they were skilled and experienced. Still, I couldn't help but worry. What if they couldn't save her? What if they were too late? As the minutes ticked by, I felt myself growing more and more anxious. I had to do something to distract myself, so I began to pace around the room. It didn't help much, and I found myself checking my watch every few minutes. Just then, the healer stood up and turned to face me. I felt my heart skip a beat as I waited for them to speak. "She's stable for now," they said. "But she's lost a lot of blood. We need to get her to the pack's healer, and fast." A wave of relief washed over me, but it was quickly followed by fear. "Can you heal her?" I asked, my voice shaking. The healer looked at me, their expression grave. "I can try," they said. I nodded, and I watched as they carefully picked up Catherine and carried her o

As the figure stepped forward, I felt my pulse quicken. I stood up, preparing to fight, but I knew it was hopeless. There was no way I could beat this man. He was too strong, too fast. And then, he spoke. "I am the one who sent the rogues after you," he said, his voice cold and cruel. "And now, I've come to finish the job." My heart sank, and I felt a wave of despair wash over me. "Why?" I asked, my voice breaking. The figure tilted his head, and his eyes glinted in the dim light. "It is not my place to explain," he said. "I am simply following orders." I felt my anger flare, and I clenched my fists. "You're a coward," I said, my voice filled with contempt. "You attack women and children, but you won't even explain yourself." The figure's face darkened, and I saw his grip on the dagger tighten. "Do not test me," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "I am not one to be trifled with." Before I could say anything, I heard a growl from behind me. I turned, and I saw a large wolf sta

CATHERINE POVAs I stood there, frozen in fear, I felt something touch my arm. I opened my eyes, and I saw the pup, its eyes pleading with me. Then, I heard a voice in my head, as clear as day. "You can do this," it said. "You're stronger than you know."I looked down at the pup, and I felt a surge of courage. This creature may be bigger and stronger than me, but I had something it didn't. I had love. And I was going to fight with everything I had to protect the pup.I took a deep breath, and I stepped forward, standing between the creature and the pup. "I won't let you hurt this pup," I said, my voice trembling but firm. "It's innocent and it's done nothing to you."The creature let out a low, rumbling laugh. "You think you can stop me?" it sneered. "You're nothing but a puny human. What could you possibly do?"I gritted my teeth, and I prepared myself for the worst. "You're about to find out," I said.Just then, the pup let out a loud, high-pitched yelp. It sounded almost like a bat

CATHERINE POVI followed Raya through the forest, the moonlight guiding our way. As we walked, I could feel the tension in the air. We were heading toward the pack's territory, and I knew that things were about to get interesting."You're sure about this?" I asked Raya, my voice filled with nerves.Raya stopped and turned to face me. "I am," she said. "Trust me. This is the only way."I took a deep breath, and I nodded. "Okay," I said. "I trust you."With that, we continued on our way.As we neared the pack's territory, I could hear the sound of howling. It was low and eerie, sending a shiver down my spine. "What is that?" I asked Raya, my voice trembling.Raya's ears pricked up, and she cocked her head. "It's a call to the pack," she said. "A call to arms."My heart sank. I knew what that meant. The pack was preparing for battle. And I was about to be thrown right into the middle of it.We crested a hill, and I saw the pack gathered below. There were at least a hundred wolves, their

CATHERINE POVStaring into the heartlands, I noticed how amazing the newfound pack looked. I knew for a certain there was a reason why I was brought here. Slowly, I made my way down the cliff, trying as much as possible to ensure I step into the pack. The moment I reached the pack borders, several wolves stepped out of the bushes, and at that moment, I knew they were pack soldiers."What is your purpose here?" They asked through a surprising mind link. It was baffling to realize that I could communicate with them through my mind. "I want to see your Alpha," I demanded, even though I was slightly scared beneath the anger.They stared amongst themselves and they eventually stepped aside, in a manner that depicted I was welcomed.After hours of walking through the pack, we arrived at a gigantic mansion. It was glamorous and was filled with so much luxury. I could only hope the Alpha would be hospitable.I entered the main hall and saw the new pack members milling about, making introduc

CATHERINE POVSuddenly, the front door of the house burst open, and a group of men in black robes entered. They were carrying torches, and their faces were covered with masks. They looked like a scene out of a horror movie."You!" one of the men shouted, pointing at me. "You're the one we've been looking for."I stared at them in confusion. "Who are you?" I asked, my voice shaking. "What do you want with me?""You're a threat to our order," the man said, his voice cold and commanding."We've been watching you for some time now," the man said, his voice dripping with menace. "We knew you were special, but we didn't know just how special you were.""I don't understand," I said, taking a step back. "What are you talking about?""You're more than a werewolf," the man said, taking a step closer. "You're something else entirely."I started to feel a little light-headed, my head spinning with confusion. "I don't know what you're talking about," I said, my voice trembling."We're not going to

CATHERINE POVIn that moment of stillness, I felt a rush of power surge through me, like a lightning bolt striking from the heavens. And then, I heard a voice, deep and resonant, that spoke to me as if from the very core of the earth. "The time has come for you to choose," it said. "The path before you is laid out, but only you can decide which way to go. Will you take up the mantle of power, or will you turn your back on it?"I was stunned, unable to move or speak.Suddenly, I felt something brush against my arm, and I turned to see a white wolf standing at my side. Its eyes were the color of gold, and it looked at me with such intelligence and wisdom that I felt a sense of calm wash over me. Then, it spoke, its voice clear and strong. "You are not alone," it said. "We are with you, and we will guide you on your journey. You have a great destiny, and you must be ready to face it."And with that, the wolf faded away, leaving me alone once more. But I knew that I was not truly alone.S

CATHERINE POVThe figure stepped forward, his eyes never leaving me. I felt frozen, unable to move. "You have been running for a long time," he said, his voice smooth and low. "But there is nowhere left to run. You have come to the end of your journey." I tried to speak, but no words would come. He took another step towards me, and I felt his hand on my shoulder. I could feel the coldness of his touch, and I shuddered. "There is no need to be afraid," he said."I have been waiting for you," the figure continued. "I knew that you would come here eventually. And now that you are here, we can begin." He turned to the woman who had brought us here, and she nodded, her expression unreadable. I turned to look at my companions, but they were frozen in place, their eyes wide with fear. I wanted to tell them to run, to get away while they still could. But I could not speak, and I could not move."What are you going to do?" I finally managed to croak out."I am going to help you," the figure sa

CATHERINE'S POV As I entered the community meeting area, where pack members gathered for talks and declarations, I could feel a sense of anxiety in the air. As soon as I walked in, whispers and whispered talks stopped, and interested eyes looked at me. Skepticism and uncertainty weighed heavily on the air, like an unsaid query demanding a response.I felt the wave of unease that went through the group, a sign of their misgivings about my abrupt promotion to a leadership role. Many were confused by the swift change from a Luna behind confinement to a leader guiding the pack's future, and the doubt that pervaded the atmosphere was reflected in their gazes.The scrutiny became more intense as I got closer to the temporary platform where pack leaders normally addressed the members. The looks on the sea on faces ranged from mistrust to flat-out incredulity.

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. As we sat opposite from one another, the weight of duty falling on our heads like a thick blanket, the environment crackled with a feeling of purpose."I had not signed in for this one," Lizzie said, her resolve and doubt visible in her eyes. I sympathized with her; the unanticipated course of events had thrown us into unanticipated roles."Not a single of us did," I said, looking her in the eye. However, we have been given the responsibility of keeping this pack together. We must figure out how to make it function."The stone walls of the study, covered in the understand

CATHERINE'S POV Every day that passed seemed like a lifetime spent inside the confines of my room. What had previously felt like a golden prison had become a painful expanse of loneliness over two weeks. Furnished with opulent furniture, the room had turned into a haven and a jail.With Ana, my darling little daughter curled up in my arms, there was only one thing to feel better in this stuffy environment. Her innocent look was blind to the struggle swirling inside of me as I attended to her needs, the burden of duty pressing down on me. Even with the room bathed in a subdued brightness from the glowing sunlight filtering through the drapes, the cold that persisted in my heart persisted.The loud ticking of the elaborate wall clock reverberated throughout the room, serving as a constant reminder that time was passing at an excruciatingly slow pace. Two weeks had passed between my fingers like sand grains, and I was left entangled in the opulent maze of affluence that had become a res

LIZZIE'S POVI jumped through the table, my chest still thumping from the rage, and the opulence of the mansion's dining room vanished behind me. I was drawn outside by the scent of the neighboring garden in the evening air. To process the storm of feelings Philip's plea had unleashed inside of me, I wanted the comfort of wide-open spaces.Stepping out of the warm shelter of the evening, I was met by the expansive estate stretching before me. The sky was tinted pink as well as orangeas the sun sank low in the horizon, creating a pleasant glow. I took cover from the deluge of contradictory ideas on a seat tucked away in the garden, the calming sounds of the natural world providing a moment's reprieve.My thoughts raced with questions as I sat down on the bench.

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

PHILIP'S POV As I left my house and the small comforts of the family behind, I was met by lengthy shadows from the rising light and relentless trials ahead. 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. I was having trouble sifting through the complicated web that had been created by the pack's requirements, Stanley's lurking danger, and Catherine's deceit.I could hear the pack members' disgruntled whispers as I strolled around the complex. With each second of hesitation that went by, the once-unwavering loyalty that held us together appeared to wane.

LIZZIE'S POVMy wolf was aware of my uneasiness and was restless, just like me. 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. Why was Philip so attached to Catherine, the beast who had woven a false web to get within our pack? Was he unaware of the threat she created, or was perhaps a more nuanced reality at play that I was unable to discern?I walked erratically into the center of the courtyard, a raging sea of questions racin
