All Chapters of Surrogate to the Blood Alpha: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Selena's POVI nodded again, feeling as if my heart would shoot out of my ass with every lurch of the car or bump on the road. Each mile we put between us and the castle felt like a battle won, but at the same time, the war was far from over. Hell, for the rest of my life, I knew I would be forever looking over my shoulder to protect my child. But feeling the small life inside of me, I knew it was going to be worth it.I couldn’t explain it – but I already loved this baby with all of my heart! Strangely, it felt like a link to the mate I’d lost somehow. That while I was fully aware that all ties to that foolish dream were severed, this child brought me closure to that chapter of my life. As if I was able to keep all the goodness and love from the past – that it wasn’t in vain…So I already loved it!The engine hummed low beneath us, and the tires whispered against the pavement, but it

Seven months later...Selena’s POVYou’d think being a human in a human world would be easy – but it’s not!In fact, it’s really, really hard!Especially when you factor in the fact that I grew up with werewolves, packs, and alpha males! Sure, there were some humans who claimed – especially men! – that they were “alphas” and all others were “betas” or--- something. But as it turned out, that was just “slang” and wasn’t to be taken seriously.Took me to punch a guy before I finally realized that…I let out a sigh as I finally swung my legs out of the bed, wincing when it cracked and groaned under my increased weight. With more effort than was reasonable, I got upright, feeling like a beached whale. And then groaned as I had to push myself just to get to the edge…And then was stuck like a duck with no luck!Great!“You know,” a heavily Jamaican-accented female voice sounded from the doorway. “When I agreed to let you stay here, I didn’t know I’d agreed to be your personal maid.”I looke

Selena’s POVThe scent of sizzling garlic and butter filled the air and my oversensitive nose decided it was poison and I needed to throw up right then and there. Luckily, working with foods all day, I’d gotten used to ignoring my hormonal brain’s tantrums and wiped down the counter for what felt like the hundredth time tonight.The dinner rush had finally died down, leaving behind the usual post-chaos lull. My feet ached and my back was sore, but I couldn’t ask to sit down since – to everybody else – I was just some chubby Latina who needed to stop being “lazy” and “treat my body like a temple”…Some people got their audacity on sale, I swear!“If that woman had sent one more plate back, I would have throw the whole damn thing at her!” Magro’s booming voice rang out from the kitchen, making me turn just in time to see her round the corner. When

Selena’s POV“Magic doesn’t change your scent, my Azure Angel!”My stomach dropped when I heard those words and a bolt of terror shot through me.SHIT!How? How after so many years of living with werewolves did I forget THAT?!Panic flooded me, ice-cold and suffocating. My breath hitched, but the air seemed to freeze in my lungs. Again, the urge to turn and run was strong, but instead, I forced myself to look at him, ignoring how his dark eyes bore into mine.“I-I---,” I stuttered, forcing a calm I didn’t feel. I swallowed thickly, my pulse thundering in my ears, but I pushed through: “I’ll be right back with your orders!”I turned to leave before my legs gave out on me. But before I could ta

Selena’s POVBrian was talking as we walked back home, but I didn’t pay much attention to anything he said. He’d taken me to the bus stop and I’d more or less hoped that he’d see me off on the bus and then be on his way. But unfortunately, he’d decided that “home” meant all the way to the door…Sigh!I honestly tried to keep up with the conversation, but I found it increasingly harder to do. Rain’s entry into my life felt like a wrecking ball into my carefully reconstructed life. Sure, it wasn’t much and I didn’t have much to show for in my new life, but at least it was mine. Yet I knew that if Rain didn’t leave, this new life would be swept away before I even had a chance to truly enjoy it.My hands slid over my belly, feeling the baby move ever so slightly. If I couldn’t get Rain to leave soon, I had to run away again. I couldn’t risk him
