The Dreaded Alpha’s Surrogate FIFTEEN: A MAIDEN FOR THE KING
ALPHA EZRA BLACKWOODThere were tears in the redhead’s eyes as she stumbled into the room.Had Cassandra done something already? The breath I inhaled burned my throat as the maiden surrogate sputtered helplessly, her despair clutching at my chest in a way that made heat swell in my groin.Fucks sake- What the fuck was wrong with me? I shouldn't be caring about her feelings, and yet here I was, wrapping my hands around her and whispering comfortingly like a fucking saint.I was a damned hypocrite and I knew it.“Elizabeth,” I breathed, trying to calm her hysterics but my voice only seemed to renew her efforts to claw at my chest desperately. Her skin felt soft under my hands, and I had to bite back the urge to sink my teeth into her flesh. To taste her salty skin, the full pink pout of her lips…damn it! What was wrong with me?The maiden’s face was frightened as she rambled on about not being ready, flailing her hands wildly and sucking in a deep breath when I caught her tightly by t

ELIZABETH MILKHARTStupid, stupid, stupid! How could I have been so freaking stupid?!“Worrying is futile M’Lady, if the King has said he will handle it, then he will,” Theresa whispered comfortingly but her words did nothing to stop my panic from growing.My chest felt tight. So tight I was almost certain my heart would burst in my chest and kill me where I stood.It had only been hours since I fled from Alpha Blackwood’s exquisite royal chambers and now the Luna wanted to have a word with me.Could I not catch a break? I had known even before leaving the small cottage house that I shared with Ma that Blackwood was a dark place, filled with snobbish wolves who would put me down at every turn.“What do I have to do to get the Luna on my side Theresa? I need protection from that witch woman Sarah Sossen!” I rasped breathlessly, flailing my hands dramatically and biting my tongue when the maid’s eyes widened.“M-M’lady, I don't know…Luna Cassandra can be rather heartless when the royal

ELIZABETH MILKHARTI opened and closed my mouth wordlessly as the Luna’s words cut through me like a sword.She thought I was wild?! Tears burned the back of my throat at the subtle insult. “There were six of us women Elizabeth, all masked, dancing for the King. It had been terrifying you know? All the intensity of that dark gaze focused on you,” She whispered, shivering in thought and I blushed deeply.I knew exactly what she was talking about. The way the King had stared at me the other night… like I was the only living thing in his world.I could get lost in a man like that. Lost and broken.“Then…then what happened?” I dared to ask, my heart pounding hard inside me when her eyes narrowed on my face and she turned away from the window, dwarfing me with her tall body.“Then, silly human, he chose me. Of course he did. I captivated him even closed up and masked as I was. The King told me there would never be another woman like me. His Sandra.” She gritted through clenched teeth, an

CASSANDRA BLACKWOODMy heart was beating so fast that I could hardly breathe as I stumbled toward my chambers, catching Madam Burter’s beady eyes before she shuffled me in, slamming the door shut behind us.“So? What did the cunt say?” She hissed, the anxious edge dripping from her voice as I sucked in a large breath.I whirled around to face the white sheen of her face, deciding not to point out the feathering of hair on her upper lip.Tina Burter never let herself slip like that. I must not be the only one Ezra’s new human pet was pissing the fuck out of.“Ezra didn't bed her. On their mating night. He refused her Tina,” I whispered, daring myself to hope when she sucked in a large breath.I could hardly believe it! Ezra Blackwood still loved me! That was the only reason that made sense for why he refused the weakling! Did Elizabeth Milkhart even have any idea how to be a woman?! I was lucky she wasn't aware of just how enchanting she was on men. The wolf elders of Blackwood had

ELIZABETH MILKHARTI realized my hands were shaking when I folded them back into my lap, carefully keeping my face expressionless, the way Blackwood wolves always did.Theresa’s cold fingers pressed the jewels into my scalp wordlessly, as I studied her small, oval face in the mirror, wondering if I dared speak of my concerns.The quiet handmaiden had grown to become my friend but I had to be careful what I said to her from now on. It was unlikely she wouldn’t report my “fake mating” with the King to the elders.“Was the King gentle on your first night with him, M’lady?” The maid asked suddenly and for a minute I felt my back stiffen.Why the hell was she asking me that AGAIN?!I was careful to keep my expression blank, aware that her small black eyes were completely focused on my face in the mirror’s reflection.What was Blackwood turning me into?“Oh, yes! Certainly, His Highness was very kind,” I muttered, flashing the woman a tight smile and feeling my heart sink when she didn't sm

ALPHA EZRA BLACKWOODRage sparked through my body like liquid heat as I watched the woman leave just before my Queen tore through the double doors with a pinched look on her reddened face.“So this is it then? This is what you do behind closed doors?” Cassandra Blackwood screamed, her blonde hair billowing like a waterfall behind her as her hazel-green eyes narrowed angrily on me.I had never seen her so enraged before, and it took every shred of control I had not to rip her tongue from her mouth when I realized she hadn't come alone.“Your Highness,” Draco Boone bowed, steepling his fingers on his chest as the other elders circled him, their cool expressions made a knot of anxiety tighten in my gut.Since when did the Blackwood elder wolves bond with my wife? Whatever this shit was about, I didn't like it one bit.“Elders of Blackwood, what an unpleasant surprise,” I growled icily, and the sarcasm dripping from my voice made their scowls deepen even more.Tension strained between us

ELIZABETH MILKHARTMy hands were shaking as I zipped my small backpack shut, ignoring the brown-haired handmaiden who was stressing out beside me.“M’lady, this is a terrible idea, the dark woods, it's where those Dove pack monsters stay Miss, you mustn't,” Theresa choked out, gripping my bag before dropping it quickly when I narrowed my eyes at her.There was no doubt in my mind that she could stop me if it came down to it. I had only been in one fight in my entire life and got beat up so bad my eyes were swollen shut for days.With a wolf like Theresa, hell, I could tell from her tight arms under the soft black and white uniform she wore that she was more than just a maid.“I can’t stay here after what you told me about Cassandra fucking Blackwood, Theresa, I’ll take my chances with any beast over that witch!” I hissed, the Queen’s cold blonde face flashed in my mind’s eye before I shook my head.I knew now that I never should have trusted her with the King and my secret.

ELIZABETH MILKHARTIf my mother had told me two nights ago, that I would be traveling to the dreaded Backwood Castle in my only good dress and straw hat, I would have spit in her goddamned face.“No, no, no, this cannot be happening!” I gasped with widened eyes that scoured through the local paper I held in between shaky hands.There it was! My name, Elizabeth Milkhart, among the seven selected for the mating raffle, clear as day!“How could this be? Since when did those posh mighty werewolves want anything to do with us humans?” I wheezed, feeling my temples pulse painfully.I stared at the picture of the dashingly handsome Alpha beside the inked cursive with his bright gray eyes and wolf-cut black hair. He was just about the most drop-dead gorgeous man I had ever had the displeasure of seeing.I could feel something hot flare inside me when our eyes met, almost like he was staring back at me from the black and white print newspaper.I dropped it like it was hot shit.“For god’s sake

The Dreaded Alpha’s Surrogate FOURTEEN: THE MATING NIGHT
ELIZABETH MILKHARTThe woman’s black glare fixed on me like a hawk on prey until I felt what little sanity I had left unravel. Madam Burter yanked at my wild red curls brutally with her comb, her hot eyes burning my face in the blue glass of the mirror.It was almost time for my first night with the Alpha, but I couldn't push back the painful bitterness that had lodged in the back of my throat.“Three nights Elizabeth,” She ground out, but my name rolled off her tongue as “eel-isabed”, the harsh sound of it making my teeth set on edge.My scalp was on fire when she finally dropped the comb, allowing waves of red to frame my long porcelain face beautifully.“Tonight is your first chance to impress the court and get pregnant with Blackwood’s heir. Now what happened with the Queen was unfortunate…but it is a disgrace for a surrogate to come to the royal castle also barren.” She hissed, her coal-black eyes pining my face in the mirror.I felt my throat burn as panic wound tight knots in m
The Dreaded Alpha’s Surrogate THIRTEEN: TROUBLE IN PARADISE
ALPHA EZRA BLACKWOODBlood roared in my ears as I pounded my way into my royal chambers with the Luna of Blackwood snapping at my heels.“That was too far, Cassandra-” I started, whirling to face the tall blonde woman and watching her face redden even more as the dark arched brows drew together on her head.Her exquisite, ball gown had come undone at her shoulders, exposing the rounded white curves that made my groin tighten with lust.She looked wild, with platinum blonde hair falling down her back in straight sheets and her full red lips turned down distastefully. She did not look like my wife at all.“TOO FAR?! You were all but fucking here right there in the open for everyone to see Ezra Blackwood! Do you know how much of a disgrace that is as your wife?! Have you forgotten your duty to me-” She screamed, pointing at the empty doorway behind us.Me? Disgrace her? Her words sparked a dark fury inside me that made my vision blur and I was pinning her against the wall before I realiz
