All Chapters of The Alpha's Princess Surrogate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Astrid's POVI reclined on the chair after Dad stepped out to get the peppered roast meat that I have been craving recently.I was considerably larger now considering the fact that I was in my early trimester. My ankles were swollen, I couldn't see my feet and I was pleased to report that I now waddled instead of walking.I also got tired and napped very quickly any time that I wasn't eating. My wolf didn't lend me much of her strength because due the fact that she had limited reserves seeing as we hadn't shifted in a while.She saved that strength for guarding the baby and I could feel her wrapped securely around the baby, continuously protecting it and it warmed my heart.I heard a knock on the door. That was fast.I hadn't expected Dad back home for some time.I opened the door only to see Alpha Jaxon standing there."Astrid."I panicked."I'm afraid you have the wrong person."I tried to slam the door close but Alpha Jaxon didn't hesitate before putting his hand between the door a

Astrid's POVAlpha Jaxon was bleeding and it was taking all of me to hold back from going to him and helping him bandage his wound.Instead I threw the first aid kit on the bed of the guest bedroom that he had retired to.His steel cold rates met mine but I did my best not to flinch against the quiet intensity of his gaze."You can't stay here," I informed him. "I've spoken to my Dad so you can spend the night but you need to be out first thing tomorrow morning."I turned to walk away but his next words pulled me to a momentary stop."Do you think you will ever forgive me?" Alpha Jaxon asked me.My treacherous heart leapt in my chest and it took me a few moments to summon strength.I didn't turn to look at him as I responded. "What do you think?"I didn't wait for him to respond to me before I walked out of the room.I slept fitfully at night, my dreams filled with images of Alpha Jaxon. In my dreams, he didn't kiss my cheek but my lips. He didn't stop pushing my gown up until it was

Xavier's POV"I'm coming back for you as soon as I can," I told Astrid but she was still limp and unconscious, unable to hear my words.Maybe that was why I was even able to say them at all or the shame from facing her after all I had done would have killed me."Until then please be safe and forgive me." I whispered finally.I knew there was a high possibility of her forgiveness being a long time coming but I would beg all my life if that was what she wanted.A few seconds later, Alpha Jaxon, escorted by some of his men, was at my side and taking Astrid from me. As I expected, he was far more focused on her unconscious form than he was on me.That was what enabled my escape.I escaped from the swamps shortly after Alpha Jaxon's men took Astrid for treatment.I could have run away with her before they came but if I had, we would have been caught in minutes with her weight dragging me back but I remembered what I had done to her and knew that when she woke up, I would be the last person

Xavier's POVMy world shattered that minute when I realized that I had become what I hated the most. A vampire hybrid.A part of me was the same as those emotionless bloodsuckers who cared less about anything but themselves.It might not have been my choice to become this but I couldn't make myself attack the Vampire King who looked way too satisfied by my shocked reaction to finding out the truth.Dad seemed more apologetic but his words were unfeeling when he spoke to me probably because of the fact that the Vampire King was standing right next to us."I'll give you some time to come to terms with this news." Dad said finally I stared at him for what felt like the longest time.Come to terms with this news? This wasn't just news, it was now my reality, how could I just accept it like that?When my Dad noticed that I was still silent, his time sharpened, any softness completely disappearing."If you fail me, Xavier, you should know that you are no longer my only shot at having an hei

Astrid's POV"She's beautiful." Dad said looking at my daughter through the computer screen on the other side.I laughed nodding my head as I cradled her. "I didn't know she would be so small."My daughter was already half asleep, her eyes blinking shut slowly after being fed and buried.Dad smiled wider and I had never seen him look so happy and relaxed before."She looks just right,"She finally fell asleep and my Dad straightened taking his laptop with him as he moved."Wait till you see what I have done with the bunker." He said with a smile.I was confused slightly. "What did you do?"Then he showed me the interior of the bunker and I gasped out loud. He had redesigned it adding a ton of decorations and my room now had a baby's crib in it as well as a lot of toys that I knew my baby would enjoy when she came of age."Oh my goodness, that is so pretty." I said tears coming to my eyes when I thought of all the effort it must have taken him to put all of this together.Dad shrugged
