Semua Bab BILLIONAIRE ALPHA'S ACCIDENTAL SURROGATE : Bab 51 - Bab 60

I looked at him, a little confused. “What’s this?” I asked, taking the card from his hand.“Take it,” he said, his voice firm but kind. “Get whatever you need for yourself and the baby. Don’t worry about the cost.”I stared at the card for a moment, my mind racing. Was he serious? I didn’t want to accept it, but then again, the thought of buying things for the baby... it felt good. It felt like something I wanted to do.“Thank you,” I said quietly, though I wasn’t sure how I felt about taking his money.He shook his head slightly, a small smile playing on his lips. “You don’t need to thank me,” he said, his voice softening. “It’s my duty to take care of you. And our baby.”His words made my heart flutter. There was something in the way he said it, something so sincere and gentle, that made me feel like he truly meant it. Like he truly wanted to care for me, to protect us both.His gaze moved from my eyes to my belly, and I could

I frowned and turned to see what she was talking about. My heart nearly stopped when I spotted Kai walking in our direction. My first thought was that maybe he wasn’t here for me. Maybe he was just passing by. But a small part of me—one I didn’t want to acknowledge—hoped that he was.How did he even find me? I hadn’t told him I was coming here.Before I could dwell on it, Kai was already at our table. He looked effortlessly handsome, dressed in a crisp white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up slightly, paired with black slacks. His dark hair was tousled, giving him a rugged yet refined look. Even in a simple outfit, he exuded power and authority, commanding attention without trying.He greeted Selina with familiarity, his deep voice smooth and controlled. “Selina.”“Alpha,” she responded with a small smile, her tone teasing. “What brings you here?”He didn’t answer her. Instead, he turned his gaze to me. His grey eyes were sharp, but

Dinner time arrived, and the dining room was as lively as ever. The long wooden table was surrounded by pack members, their conversations filling the air with a steady hum. The scent of roasted meat, fresh bread, and rich gravy drifted through the room, making my stomach growl in anticipation.I took my usual place, expecting to be seated far away from Kai, but to my surprise, I was placed at his left. I figured it was because Rhys wasn’t back from his trip yet. Zara sat at Kai’s right, her usual spot, and even though she was engaged in a conversation with one of the warriors, I could feel the occasional sharp glances she threw my way.Mer was having dinner with her mother, Margaret, in their private quarters, which left me alone at the table. It wasn’t unusual. Most of the pack members still didn’t talk to me unless they had to. They barely acknowledged my presence, as if I didn’t belong, as if I was just some outsider forced into their world.I focused on my plate, deciding not to l

Something flickered in Zara’s expression—something bitter and resentful. But she didn’t argue. Instead, she gave me one last smirk, then turned on her heel.As she walked away, her voice floated back down the hall.“You’ll see, Lily. He’ll always choose his own kind in the end.”She disappeared around the corner, leaving silence in her wake.I let out a shaky breath, my grip on the doorknob tightening.Kai exhaled, rubbing a hand over his face before turning to me. His expression was unreadable again, his emotions hidden behind a carefully constructed mask.“Get some rest,” he said quietly.And then, just like that, he walked away.I stood there, frozen for a moment, staring at the spot where he had been. I could still feel the air where his presence had been, the warmth of him close to me. But it felt like a distant memory now, fading with every step he took away from me.A lump formed in my throat, and I fought back the tears that threatened to spill. Zara's words echoed in my head,

For a moment, we just stood there, the silence between us filled with unspoken emotions. The moon shone brightly above, casting a silver glow over everything, making the scene feel almost surreal.Kai turned his head toward the stream and nudged me again, his warm, damp nose pressing lightly against my arm. It was gentle but insistent, like he was urging me toward the water.I hesitated for a second before obeying, stepping carefully over the smooth stones that lined the edge of the stream. The ground was cool beneath my bare feet, and the soft trickle of water filled the air with a soothing melody. I knelt by the edge, dipping my fingers into the crisp, clear water. It was ice-cold against my skin, a refreshing contrast to the lingering warmth on my face.Cupping my hands, I lifted the water to my lips and took small sips, savoring the way it cooled my throat. The nausea that had been twisting in my stomach slowly began to ease, though my body still felt light and tingly from the run
