All Chapters of The Alpha's Surrogate Bride: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Plates dropping, kettle steaming, and on top of that, anxiety dissipating. I had always hoped that at some point it never came to this, but I knew the stress would kick in. Staring at the soup, I could only pray to the moon goddess that it was good.It was late into the morning and I had woken up unusually late. I cursed upon seeing the time through a wristwatch I had been gifted by my mother. If Alpha Philips got to know about waking up late, I knew I would be in great trouble. Three days coming, I have been subject to the ridicule of the pack, everyone tends to blame you for the little things that occur and I was no exception to this. The stress had kicked in and even my head continue to ache.Quickly, I grabbed two plates and scooped the soups gently unto the plates, while turning off the heat emanating from the gas. It was seldomly quiet in the mansion, but on today's occasion, everyone had gone to see the school's event, which I ought to be part of.My ears picked up the sound o

Catherine POVThe evening drew near, and I felt a burst of energy hovering around my body, giving me a glimpse of what happiness felt like for the first time in years. It felt new and made me curious as to why I was feeling this way. It was the festival of the moon goddess and also my birthday however this year's own was different, I was fully vested in the kitchen making the meals that would be served for the event. A day in the pack doctor's house brought good energy and uplifted my soul. It was apparent that it was all I needed. Upon returning to the mansion, I was shocked to learn that Alpha Philip was taken to Audrey as Luna for the event. I wasn't shocked as I had finally come to terms with the nature of the person Philip was. I had simply given directives about the meals to be prepared.I sensed a presence behind me and upon turning around, it was Sikoa, one of the pack soldiers with a smirk on his face. While I had vowed never to carry hate around, he was one of the few pers

Catherine POVPacing back and forth, my heart beating repetitively, I thought through several ways in which I would serve my punishment in the hands of the Alpha.The festival was over and it hurts that I never got to say the prayers I so desired to make after taking so much risk. I had seen the same figure on the pathway to the arena, pointing in my direction to the Alpha and I couldn't help but mutter curses. He was the reason I would be punished and thought of the previous beating that had my legs shaking."Catherine! The Alpha orders for your presence." SIkoa announced with a smile on his face. Right before I stepped into the chambers, I rolled my eyes at him. He was infuriating and I could only wish I was strong to give him a piece of my hand.Stepping into the chambers, my eyes went directly to the throne, where Alpha Philip was seated gracefully on the throne, alongside the same man from the arena. I wondered what they had discussed."Alpha." I lowered my head, waiting for a th

Catherine P.O.VImagine the bliss that accompanies you, being in a place where there is no pain, no suffering, no anguish, and not even distress.I was in that place, a place I could call home. A place where everyone is welcoming and hospitality is the watchword.Standing outside the Mansion, I watched as the children played on happily, with no distress, no trouble, and no fight.This is how I envisioned my life to be but all was taken away from me due to the torment of the four horsemen.I felt arms wrapping themselves around me and a figure coming to seat close to me."What are you doing out here alone?" Rose my maid turned friend asked the moment she sat down."Isn't this beautiful Rose? The fact that we are finally free from all our past sorrow and hardships that we used to face?" I asked, not taking my eyes away from those children playing."Yea, I know how it feels....Look at those kids, they know that they are always protected here, and that's why they don't have anything to wo

Catherine P.O.VWe were at the arena, where I was to commence my training. We were waiting for Stanley to arrive as we looked around the entire place."This is where we used to train, my father and I would come here training every day and sometimes, he would send his pack warrior here and we would train in all different combat" Stanley had three swords in his hands."Before you can be able to harness your power, I need to ask something real quick. Have you shifted before?" "No, I haven't" He raised his eyes in surprise and uttermost disbelief at what I had just said."Well...It's not that easy, I have tried to shift plenty of times, but it's not just working" I said trying to hide my embarrassment.
