All Chapters of BILLIONAIRE ALPHA'S ACCIDENTAL SURROGATE : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The pack elders exchanged glances but didn’t hesitate. One by one, they nodded and started filing out of the room. The quiet murmur of voices faded as they disappeared down the hall, leaving just Kai and me standing there.I turned to leave as well. Pack meetings weren’t for me. I wasn’t a werewolf, wasn’t an official part of their structure. I was just the human woman carrying the future Alpha’s child.But before I could take a step, Kai’s warm hand wrapped around my wrist, stopping me in place.“Lily,” he said, his voice softer now. “You should be there.”I looked up at him, confused. “What?”His grip didn’t tighten, but it was firm enough to keep me from pulling away. “You have a right to be there,” he said simply. “You’re carrying my child—our future Alpha. It’s time you started attending meetings.”My lips parted slightly. I wasn’t expecting that. I thought he’d want to keep me as far away from pack matters as possible.“But… I don’t know anything about—”“You’ll learn,” he inter

For a moment, neither of us spoke. The air between us was thick with something unspoken, something electric. I was too aware of how close we were, of the way his breath was slow and steady as I worked. I tried to ignore the weight of his gaze, but it was impossible when he was right there, his silver eyes locked onto my face.I finished cleaning the wound and reached for a fresh cloth to wipe away the excess antiseptic. As I pressed it gently against his skin, his hand suddenly came up, catching my wrist.My breath hitched as I looked up, meeting his gaze. His silver eyes were unreadable, darkened by something I couldn’t quite place. The heat from his touch sent a shiver up my arm.“You don’t have to do this,” he said, his voice quieter now, softer in a way I wasn’t used to.I swallowed hard. “I know.”His grip lingered for a second longer before he finally let go, his fingers trailing lightly against my skin as he pulled away. Even that small touch sent my pulse racing.I forced mys

Kai turned off the main light, leaving only the faint glow of the fire as he moved to the other side of the bed. He climbed in, the bed dipping under his weight, and my whole body tensed when I felt the heat of him so close.The space between us was small—too small. If I moved even a little, I’d probably end up pressed against him. The thought sent a shiver down my spine, and I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to will myself to sleep.Just sleep. That’s all this was.But sleep wouldn’t come. No matter how hard I tried, I kept tossing and turning, unable to get comfortable. Every time I moved, the blankets rustled, and I knew Kai could hear it.“Can’t sleep?” His deep voice broke the silence.I sighed, rolling onto my back. “Yeah,” I admitted, staring up at the ceiling.For a moment, neither of us spoke. The fire crackled softly, casting flickering shadows across the room. Then, an idea popped into my head.“Wanna play a game?” I asked, sitting up slightly.Kai turned his head to look at

I took a deep breath and carefully swung my legs off the bed, making sure not to make any sudden movements that might wake him. My feet touched the cold floor, sending a small shiver up my spine. The room was quiet except for the soft sound of Kai’s breathing.I stood up slowly, glancing back at him one last time. He was still asleep, his chest rising and falling steadily. He looked different like this—calm, almost gentle. It was strange to see him without the usual intensity in his silver eyes.Shaking off my thoughts, I tiptoed toward the door, being as quiet as possible. I didn’t want to wake him. I reached for the handle, but the moment I cracked the door open, my breath caught in my throat.Zara was standing right there.Her dark eyes widened as she took in the sight of me stepping out of Kai’s room. At first, she seemed frozen, her lips slightly parted in shock. But the surprise didn’t last long. Her expression twisted, her face hardening with pure, seething anger.Her arms cros

The rest of the day went by like any other. After everything that happened, I didn’t feel like going to the dining hall, so Meredith and I had breakfast in my room. She didn’t complain, just sat cross-legged on my bed, stealing bites of my toast while we talked about random things.I was glad she didn’t push me to talk about Kai or Zara. I wasn’t ready for that yet. My feelings were all over the place, and I didn’t know how to deal with any of it.After breakfast, Meredith had to leave for work, and I was left alone. The room felt extra quiet without her loud voice filling the space. I didn’t mind being alone most times, but today it just made me feel…empty. Rhys was still away on his trip, so I couldn’t even talk to him.I sighed and flopped down on my bed, staring at the ceiling for a while before reaching for one of the books Rhys brought me when I was recovering from the wolfsbane poisoning. It was a romance novel, the kind with a brooding, possessive male lead who always seemed t
