#Chapter 11 Mirror Meetings
Surrogate for My Brother-in-law/Aurora Starling
I winced at Leo's wistful tone. His offer of protection sounded so genuine it hurt. I wished that offer was for me, not Eva.But the truth was he was married to Eva, the Alpha Daughter of Arthur's pack, and he despised Tessa, the scarred maid. I had nothing but these stolen moments. It was wrong to wish for anything more.I needed to say something, to answer his plea. What would Eva say? What would be believable?“It isn't that simple,” I said. “I'm the Alpha Daughter. I have an image I have to maintain.”“Why?” Leo asked.Why? I had no idea. I wasn't Eva, I didn't know why she was a haughty jerk to everyone.“Our pack is weak,” I said, putting together Eva's complaints with things I'd heard Alpha Arthur mutter at his desk while I cleaned. “Our numbers are low, our Alpha, my father, is aging. Our territory is small. I have to project strength. I can't be vulnerable, at all. Our wolves are depending on me.”That should work. Leo understood sacrificing for your pack. He'd given everythi

“What do you mean?” I asked.Eva shrugged and tilted her head as she studied me.“Leo's wolf went wild last night. He barely held it back from hurting me.” She shrugged. “That's why I came and switched with you. I figured it was better for him to rip you apart than his actual wife, right?”I stared at her, stunned and somehow a little hurt. I knew she hated me. She always had. But she'd set me up to be ripped to pieces by an out of control wolf?“Why are you looking at me like that?” Eva asked. “Whatever, you're fine. How'd you do it, anyway?”“He said being with me calms his wolf,” I said.“Huh. That's weird.” Eva studied me. “There's nothing special about you. Maybe it's the pup.”That actually did make sense. I curled one hand over my belly, which was just showing the slightest hint of a bump. If you looked at the right angle.“What about the pup?” I asked. “What if he had ripped me apart? It would have killed his heir.”The heir that was the key to all her and her parents' schemes

I had been ordered to scrub the dining hall floors. According to Eva and Annette, mopping wasn't enough. They had to shine, and only scrubbing the floors on my hands and knees would do it.With no warning, Eva stomped through the door and kicked the bucket of soapy water over. I stared up at her. She hadn't done something so petty in a while.“You missed a spot,” she smirked. “Start over.”I wanted to growl, but I didn't dare. Not when I was on my knees and she was in a bad enough mood to kick me. I couldn't risk harm to the pup in my belly.I scrubbed, and scrubbed, while Eva stood over me with her arms crossed. The few times I dared to glance up I saw her face was drawn into a furious scowl. I didn't understand why she was so angry. What had I done?Eva continued to plague me the entire time I cleaned. She pointed out every minor flaw in my work and made me redo tasks until I trembled with exhaustion.Finally, I'd had more than I could take. I stood up and faced her.“I don't know w

Sudden, powerful cramps made me double over in pain. Was something wrong with the baby? It was moving a moment ago. But it was too soon, wasn't it? I frantically ran through everything I'd learned about pregnancy in werewolves.Mostly it was the same as for a human. It had to be similar, otherwise I wouldn't exist. My mother was human, and she'd carried a werewolf baby to term with no problems.But there were differences. The term was shorter. I knew that. But how much shorter?Was it enough of a difference that the baby would be moving this much already? How well-formed was Leo's pup at this moment?I looked up at Leo as sharp pain ripped through my middle. Was it him? Was the pup somehow reacting to the presence of its father?That should be ridiculous. How could a baby inside of me feel the presence of its father? But it hadn't moved before he arrived. Nothing else explained the sudden movements.Another flutter of movement and a sharp pain nearly drove me to my knees. I felt the b

Finally, it was my chance. I was so excited I could barely contain it.My work was done. I wasn't expected to spend the night with Leo. No one would be looking for me until morning.I could sneak out and find my mother.I had to hide my identity. I was just a half-blood, but people would recognize Alpha Arthur's daughter. They would report my actions to my pack.So, I dressed in simple, dark clothing that wouldn't look out of place in a hospital. A servant's clothing and the scrubs a nurse in a hospital might wear weren't so different. I found a face mask to further obscure my identity.Then, all I had to do was slip out of the manor. Luckily I had cleaned every inch of the structure in my years as a servant. I knew all the ways in and out. I used an old delivery entrance that led out of a storage are no one used.The hospital owned by Alpha Ethan was several miles away. If I could shift, I could have run the distance in under an hour. Because I couldn't meet my wolf until the pup arr
