All Chapters of Surrogate to the Blood Alpha: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Selena’s POVI was laying in bed for hours after Elijah left, staring at the ceiling while silent tears slipped down my cheeks. Eventually, the tears ran out and all I was left were my thoughts and emotions. This was why I was convinced that divine punishment was to be trapped in one’s own mind because this was hell! My thoughts were all so dark and vile, telling me how worthless and naive I was. How I was nothing but a foolish little girl, hanging onto a dream my whole life, instead of doing something to change my life…Even if it killed me!My emotions didn’t clear things up much for me. They were like an ever-tipping seesaw, teetering on a razor’s edge. One moment, I was angry at Rain for hiding who he was from me. The next, I was angry at myself for not seeing the truth sooner.How could I have been so blind?A bitter laugh bubbled up, but I swallowed it down. Of course, I hadn’t se

Selena’s POV“Selena Throme!”My head snapped in the direction of the messenger that seemed to have spawned out of thin air.I’d been lost in my own thoughts, letting the realization sink in that I was just Rain’s trophy breeder – a vessel to carry his pups – and nothing more. That every time I’d given myself to him, I’d just been playing into his sick little game. That every word he spoke was just meant to manipulate me, to trap me in his snare.In the past, I would think about his hands on my body and shiver in delight. Remembering how much pleasure those hands could give me and how happy I felt. Hell, even the guilt of letting him do these things to my body – that I wasn’t saving myself for my mate – eased, the more time I spent with him.All of that now felt shattered…I hated myself. Hated that he’d done this to me. Hated that I’d

Selena's POVIt felt like the world just opened up below me and swallowed me whole. Everyone in the room knew what this meant, including me.Rain had made his choice – and he picked his mate!Everything inside me burned. The pain felt like it was searing into my heart. Eating away at my self-worth and self-respect. It burned like acid, chipping away at my soul and leaving me feeling hollow inside.When Rain left, so did I. I ignored the victorious grin that Katie threw me. As much as I hated that she’d won, I couldn’t deny that she had.She’d gotten the man!And why should I feel any type of way about that? It was my own stupidity that led me to this. I was the naive idiot who believed that a werewolf would want me. I was the fool who let a couple of sweet gestures and softly spoken words blind me to the reality of things. I’d blindly believed that the prince was my mate when a

Rain's POVBefore he could blink, I’d grabbed him by the color and slammed him up the opposite wall, liking how his ribs cracked under the pressure.“Don’t,” I growled low, baring my canines at his neck, reminding him how easily I could end his life. “Push. It!”“It’s the goddess damned truth, Rain,” Elijah hissed, struggling to breathe in my grasp. “You keep her in the same room, the same house, even the same goddess-forsaken pack where she was beaten and abused daily. Surrounded by the people who want her dead! You let your true mate verbally abuse her, and do nothing to make her feel safe or protected.”His words hit me like a bucket of ice water.I hadn’t even considered that. That, while I had many good and fun memories of this house – my old home – she might not feel the same. I walked these halls and I remembered laughter and joy, love and kindness… I remembered my father helping me through my first shift and running through

Selena's POVInstinctively, my hand drifted to my belly, pressing lightly against the barely-there swell, as my mind filled with thoughts about the small life inside. A tiny, fragile existence that had no say in the cruel world it was being brought into.My body shivered, as the realization of what this meant slowly sat in. Soon, Katie would be pregnant too and when that happened, she would see my child as a threat. She wouldn’t tolerate any competition to her baby’s birthright. And she would do anything to eliminate it!I couldn’t let that happen!So two things were clear to me now: there was no way I could ever tell anyone about the father of the child. And I could never let the baby near any werewolves. Sure, there was a chance that this baby would be like me – born wolf-less and with no way to protect themselves. But there was a slight chance that he would be born with a wolf...An Alpha Kin
