The Alpha's Surrogate Bride Chapter Hundred and twenty
LIZZIE'S POV The waiting had become an excruciating torture while I awaited Catherine's reaction to my ultimatum. After two weeks had passed, it appeared that Catherine seemed either too absorbed in her thoughts to respond or she was not bothered by my admission. My patience was starting to wear thin due to her lack of reaction. I had imagined all kinds of reactions from her throughout those two weeks. Would she voluntarily go from the house so that I wouldn't have to tell Philip about her scheme? Or would she decide to tell Philip the truth herself? Maybe she was thinking of methods to sneak a change of heart without me knowing. I was getting close to panicking from the excitement and the seemingly limitless options.I had intended to tip the scales with authority in our family with the knowledge I possessed about Catherine. Her covert scheme, which she had concocted with Stanley, was a serious risk that may sever our pack's confidence. She could never get away without it from me,

LIZZIE'S POV I was restless and walked to my room, thinking about Catherine's deception all the while. I had come to a firm conclusion in my mind—I could stand the stillness no more. It was now too late to wait, and I had decided to tell Philip about Catherine's scheme.Every faint noise, every squeak of the floors, increased my frustration as the minutes passed. The impulse to release myself from the information that had grown to be a burdensome weight persisted in me.As I watched for Philip, my bedroom felt like a jail with walls closing in around me. The minutes seemed to go on forever, and I was torn between uncertainty and resolve. Would Philip accept my story? What would be his response if Catherine's scheme came to light?Even though I was struggling within, I was unable to go back from the course I had taken. This sacrifice was necessary for our family's protection and our pack's cohesion. The seriousness of my choice hit home as I looked out the window at the sky growing da

PHILIP'S POVEvery statement Lizzie made hit me like a ton of bricks, opening a gap between my understanding of reality and the frightening truth that was being revealed to me. Catherine, my friend and confidante, was charged with betrayal. The reverberation of Lizzie's remarks was the only sound breaking the stifling silence that once filled the room.As the shock of her disclosure subsided, a barrage of contradictory feelings surged through me.

PHILIP'S POV With Lizzie's admission igniting a tempest of volatile emotions within me, I rushed outside of the room, her words echoing in my thoughts. I moved on because I was driven by anger, abandonment, and a pressing desire for closure. I had to act; I was unable to cover to wait around for the Alpha in me to request it.I could hear my footsteps echoing down the hallway on my way to Catherine's room. Tension crackled in the air, and I could feel its weight hanging over me. Rain pelted the windows, a chaotic rhythm to my deliberate steps, the thunderstorm outside reflecting the maelstrom inside.I arrived at Catherine's door without bothering to knock as is customary. I was burning with the Alpha's rage, and I swung the door open. It opened, revealing a scene that was as vivid as a tableau of disharmony.Catherine was sitting on the bed with a vulnerable air around her. Her eyes, which were normally consoling, suddenly held a mixture of fear and sadness. Rose appeared in front o

CATHERINE'S POV Philip rushed out of that space with a rage that seemed to destroy the very basis of our connected past, and I felt the amount of that terrible stillness weighing down upon me. The door shut, enclosing me in a prison that reflected the chaos inside.I collapsed into my bed because the sleeping surface felt strange under my body as though the room had changed into a strange world. Rose's eyes mirrored the same doubt that was plaguing my mind right now, so having her brought little comfort.I tried hard not to cry as tears started to fill up in my eyes. What had once been a refuge began to seem like a jail. I never thought that the boundaries that had once recorded muttered vows and shared laughs would one-day record such treachery.My thoughts raced, reliving the events leading up to this break. The deadly waltz on the edge of betrayal, the murmured assurances of power, the covert meetings with Stanley. How had this happened to me? The specter of my misplaced desire wa

Philip's POV The weight of treachery permeated the entire room. My thoughts were haunted by Catherine's behaviors; they were a jarring tune that broke the harmony I believed we were creating. How might she slip so easily under the guise of Sarah, my sister's surrogate, and weave an internet of falsehoods into my life? Now, the comforts that had begun to blossom between us felt like an unkind delusion, broken into a million cold fragments.I could still feel the resonances of Catherine's deceit deep within my being. It was a deep-cut betrayal, a complex ballet of falsehoods that made me doubt the sincerity of every hour we spent together. Once a haven, the space felt oppressive today, the air heavy with the bitter taste of dishonesty.I could not get the eerie tune of what she did out of my head; every note was a reminder of the faith I had put in her. How frequently had I entrusted in her, thinking her answers were genuine, only to find out later that they were masterfully staged act

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
