Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 43

43. soulmate

Outside of the pack house, the sound of luggage wheels moving on the grassy lawn, the Alpha’s shoes approached the car with the early morning sunbeam as birds’ tweeting could be heard. Gamma Tyler was following behind the twins while Beta Kaiden had the Alpha’s baggage in his hands. The pack’s second and third in command had been closely listening to all of the conversation and orders. They had wanted to accompany the Alpha since it was dangerous to go alone to meet the Vampire King, but Xavier had refused to take anybody with him.

The vampires that hadn’t cared about sunrise or sunset had accepted the invitation to meet the Sirius Bright Pack’s Alpha in just a few hours. Surprisingly, or maybe more than coincidentally, the Vampire King Alfred had also sent Xavier an invitation for a meeting the same night. The reason for his request remained unknown, but the younger Alpha, who had been working late into the night, had accepted the offer quickly. He then notified his brother, who left his bed early in the morning to arrange everything that would be needed.

Zander was going to stay in the pack, so that the older Alpha would be less stressed, but both the twins wanted to talk about a few things while they were heading to the car.

“Let me know if anything happens,” Xavier commented as he came to a halt in front of his car, ending his chat with his brother. Tyler loaded his luggage into the car.

“I’ll make sure to tend the pack. You just need to take good care of yourself,” Xavier decided to get into his car after a brotherly hug, but he paused to draw in a long and deep breath. How long would the she-wolf remain hidden? He had been waiting for her to come from behind the wall, but she lacked the confidence.

“Iris,” when her brother called her name, the young green-eyed she-wolf was startled. Why was he calling her for? Should she go back to her room and pretend she was sleeping?

The twins exchanged glances before the older Alpha ordered, “Come out here and stop hiding.”

Iris chewed her lower lip in anxiety for a few seconds before obeying his orders and revealing herself. She had conceded defeat when she realized that no trick would fool her brothers, who had already detected her presence behind the wall.

Lowering her head she focused her attention down on the ground, she took baby steps closer to her brothers then stood timidly, which was very unlike her. This little vixen was not a shy girl, but a naughty little chatterbox, yet she was filled with remorse today.

“I am sorry, brother,” he spoke in whispers and sounded as though she was going to weep. The family’s only sister had wished to provide joy to her brothers via the motherly affection that she had unexpectedly received from Luna Maya, but she had no clue that her Mother was using her in order to gain an advantage over the twins so that she could preserve Alpha Luca’s pack.

Instead of her motherly love, the young woman had come home with quarrels and conflicts, which had made her feel horrible. She had avoided her brothers for a whole day and night due to their fury, but she was determined to apologize this morning. But mustering the courage had been a difficult task. Zander’s rage and snarls the previous day had terrified her. His brothers had never scolded her but yesterday had been a different case.

“There’s no need to apologize, Iris. Everyone makes mistakes,” Xavier placed his hands on her shoulders urging her to gaze to meet his eyes.

“Always keep in mind that Zander and I are your only family. The Sirius Bright Pack members are your family. That woman does not want us, so don’t be caught in her trap again. We’re not mad with you, so don’t cry,” he added. When she nodded obediently and hugged Xavier closely, tears streamed down

her cheeks. As she was still hesitant to look at either of her brothers, her small hands drew Zander in for a

group hug.

“Don’t cry, monkey,” Zander chuckled and kissed her on the cheek, which relieved his sister. After a while, she drew herself back smiling at her brothers.

“Brother, there’s something important I need to discuss with the both of you, but I’ll wait until you return,” she smirked, raising the twins’ brows. Their sister had a lot of surprises in store for them.

“All right,” they chuckled as Xavier turned to face the car.

“I’m leaving,” the Alpha stated, smiling as he glanced at the window of his bedroom one last time. The light in his room was still turned off. Dean whimpered in sadness.

“Take care,” Zander urged as the driver opened the door to let Xavier get in.

“Xavier!! Wait!!”

‘It’s her!” Dean roared in Xavier’s head as the Alpha turned around to find his little mate running towards him.

“Kiara?” He whispered her name in amazement. Had she not been sleeping? So, what brought her out here? How did she get here? Without his knowledge, his feet began to move closer to his wife.

“Wait for me,” the young she-wolf came to a halt in front of him, gasping for air. She had dashed from the pack house to the car at full speed. Xavier came closer to her, holding her arms to support her fatigued body in front of her, as she had stumbled due to the high heels she had been wearing.,

“What exactly are you doing here?” Xaiver inquired, drawing her closer as he brushed her brown hair from her face.

“… I want to go with you,” the young lady blinked innocently up at him, as if she was scared to speak. She was clutching her hands at her sides in a panic. This was the first time she was prepared to leave the pack house without asking for his permission first. As soon as Adira had told her that Xavier was leaving, Kiara had prepared to go with him. Lance, her bodyguard, ran up behind her with her luggage to the car before the Alpha left. He watched the exchange between the two of them while putting her beg in the car not knowing if his Luna could go or not but he had done his duty.

“Will you take me with you?” Kiara asked, biting her lower lip causing Xavier’s heartbeat to skip. She wanted to accompany him on a trip, he had never imagined that. He observed that she had dressed in the approtate clothing, make-up, hairstyle, and trappings so that she could accompany him. When the Alpha did not respond, she had a self-conscious moment. Why would he allow her to accompany him? Just like Noah had warned, she would be imprisoned in a golden cage with no access to the outside world. She became aware of her embarrassment as she felt the younger Alpha, Beta, and Gamma’s gazes on her.

“Well, it appears that I am being foolish. I should go back,” Kiara scratched her nose with a little laugh as she gazed down at her feet, eager to go to avoid further humiliation. She had acted without

thinking.

“Please return soon from your business trip,” she said with a smile, before turning to leave.

“Oh my Goddess!!” The young woman shrieked when her body was abruptly lifted into the air and she found herself in her mate’s arms. What was he thinking all of a sudden? She turned around in panic, only to discover that everyone was still there watching them! Was the Alpha insane?

“Xavier,what are you doing?”

“Why are you returning to the pack house? Our car is here,” Xavier stated as he walked over to it. The young Luna blinked in confusion as he gently placed her in the passenger seat, as if she would break easily. Kiara stared at him as he locked her seat belt, his face was so close to her that she could see every little

feature of his handsome face.

“Are you really going to take me with you?” When her whisper reached his ears, Xavier turned his gaze to meet her chocolaty one.

“Yes, Kiara, we’re going together,” his fingers stroked her pink cheek before placing a sweet kiss on it. While shutting her eyes and relishing the warmth of her mate’s kiss, the young woman tightened her grasp on her heart. It must be a dream! He had really agreed!

“Let’s go,” he remarked as he drew away, closing the door for her. Kiara finally let out the breath she had been holding all along while pretending to act normal. The Alpha took the keys from the driver dismissing him since he was now going to drive. Xavier drove the car while studying her nervous expressions out of the corner of his eye, which she had hidden behind her calm mask.

Kiara took a deep breath as the car began to slow and then picked up pace as they exited the pack territory. It was her very first journey! This was her first trip with her mate!! The young she-wolf emotionally leaped, letting her partner know how inquisitive, excited, and frantic she was, nothing was hidden from him thanks to the mate bond. When Xavier noticed her enjoying the scenery and journey, he smiled and shook his head. She had certainly never left the Ardara Moon Pack!

“Do you know where we’re going?” He initiated the conversation since she appeared to want to talk but was unsure how to begin.

“No, but don’t worry, I won’t embarrass you. I’ll stay out of your meeting and no one will know you’re with me,” the young woman promised with a smile, but the Alpha raised his brows.

“Why would you embarrass me? And why would you avoid the meeting? We’re headed to the castle

of Vampire King Alfred. You are my Luna, you sit beside me all of the time. Do you get what I’m saying?” He questioned, surprising the young lady who was constantly told not to appear in front of visitors when she was in her old pack. But this man was escorting her to a meeting with the Vampire King?! Was it all a joke?

“What’s wrong?” He asked, his eyes moving between her and the road.

“Yes, I understand,” she said with a little nod, returning her gaze to the windows. Kiara’s lips curled

into a small grin as she realized her mate was not embarrassed of her, in fact he seemed to want to show

her off to the rest of the world.

After nearly two hours, the young Luna felt at ease in the car with the Alpha, as they chatted about things they had never done before. He informed her about their connection with the Vampire King, the attack, and other details that she attentively listened to, she also counseled him on a few points that he took note of. This woman’s wisdom could not possibly be challenged by her age.

“What do you have in your hand?” The Alpha inquired as the signal turned red and he rested his head on the seat. She’d been holding it since they left the pack house.

“This is the breakfast I had prepared for you. It’s nothing extraordinary because I just had a short amount of time to put it together,” she explained, showing him a few tasty sandwiches. The Alpha’s mouth watered at the sight of them, since he was hungry as a beast. How could this woman be so considerate?

How had she figured out that he hadn’t eaten?

“Hmm,why are we stopping?” Kiara questioned, observing him driving into a grassy field on the side of the highway and coming to a stop.

“Come on, let’s eat. I’m hungry,” Xavier told her as he got out of the car and opened the door for

her.

“Okay!” She exclaimed, as they sat under a nearby tree then began to eat their sandwiches. It appeared to her to be like a picnic! When the cold, invigorating breeze touched their skin, it was something else. The Alpha’s emerald eyes were on her hair and gorgeous face, which he had been enjoying throughout the journey more than anything else. Plus, the breeze reached him after stroking her smooth skin carrying her intoxicating rose and chocolate scent right to his nose. It was all a bit much for him. It was the first time he had not been alone on a trip, he was accompanied by a woman who just happened to

be his soulmate. Was this a dream?

Kiara looked at him with puzzled eyes as she noticed him staring at her since he had been neglecting to eat his food. The Alpha swallowed then glanced down at her hand.

“How come you’re giving me all of the food?” He had barely spotted one piece in her hand since she had placed everything on his plate.

“My hunger has vanished as a result of the excitement,” Kiara giggled shyly as she admitted. Suddenly, his big hand grabbed her little mouth, as he pushed a large bite into her mouth.

“Eat well, have some of mine too. Especially if you don’t want to drink blood in the Vampire’s coven,” the young woman’s huge chocolaty eyes widened in astonishment, as she began to eat properly. She had

no intention of drinking blood! That was terrible to hear!

When the Alpha and Luna laid down alongside each other after breakfast, the sky seemed more lovely than usual providing them peace of mind. The Alpha mentally thanked Tyler for not removing the sheets from the car when he went on a picnic with Lena.

“Are you on time for your appointment?” Kiara asked, turning her gaze to him. He moved in

closer.

“Not really, but you want to remain here for a while, don’t you?” He questioned. She smiled and

nodded.

“Then let’s hang around here for a bit. The drive is lengthy, and I despise staying in hotels,” he added,

bringing Kiara closer to his chest as they closed their eyes to rest until the Alpha’s phone vibrated in his

pocket.

“Hello,” the Alpha said tiredly, without looking at the name on the screen.

“Xavier, where are you my friend?”

“David?” Kiara looked up to see her husband’s surprised expression. Who was David? She shifted her weight away from his chest to rest on her elbow.

“It is indeed me. Where are all you boys, Xavier?” The man on the other end demanded angrily.

“Why? What’s wrong?”

“f**k! How could you possibly ask me that question? Did you forget about your best friend’s wedding?!?” Xavier lay there on the ground, surprised, checking the date on the screen and cursing himself.

“Who said that?” The Alpha responded boldly. Kiara spotted him trying to think of some excuse quickly. Wait! Is it possible that he forgot about his friend’s wedding? They sounded like old pals.

“Does that mean that you remembered today?” David asked suspiciously.

“Of course, I do,” Xavier lied as he motioned for Kiara to get up and head back to the car.

“Then why can’t I see you here with me, my friend?” Knowing that his bastard friend had neglected his wedding, his annoyed friend taunted him. He had already called Zander, Kaiden, and Tyler, but none of them had answered due to all of the work they were doing.

“Because I am on the way. I will be there in a hour or two,” Xavier replied. “Really? I am waiting, come quickly,” Xavire cut the phone with a deep sigh.

“Is everything all right?” Kiara inquired.

“Yes, it appears I need to attend a friend’s wedding before our meeting. David contacted me hundreds of times, but I had forgotten each time. If I don’t join his wedding celebration, he might take a bite out of my ass as a punishment and an act of vengeance,” he explained. Kiara simply nodded.

“So what is next?” She asked.

“We are going to his wedding,” he responded by opening the trunk.

“We?” The young woman gave him a confused look.

“Yes, we. He knows about you, therefore he invited us as a couple,” he clarified as he rummaged through his bags.

“But I didn’t bring anything appropriate to wear to a wedding,” Kiara said as she showed him her small bag, he immediately agreed and zipped his bag. His clothes were also not suitable for a

wedding.

“Then let’s do some shopping,” he shut the trunk and drove to a nearby mall. These purchases seemed excessive for a wedding that would last only a few hours. Kiara couldn’t even object since she didn’t want to humiliate him in front of his friends. She took a deep breath as she walked into one of the stores. This unplanned shopping trip had come as a surprise. Lena and Jennifer had accompanied her the last time, but this time the Alpha had been strolling behind her closely observing as she walked by all pricey clothes without a glance.

The young woman was unsure what to choose because everything was lovely. Xavier had easily picked an outfit for himself, but she had a difficult time doing so. The Alpha licked his lips and took a gown from the rack next to him as he watched his woman’s round ass. He knew what dress he wanted to see her

in.

“How about this one?” Kiara turned her gaze to her husband, who had chosen the most sexy and revealing black floor length stunning gown for her.

“You want me to wear this one?” Her mouth was open a little in surprise. “Yes,” he replied, leading her over to the changing room.

“I am going to pay for everything. Come out when you are done,” he said, drawing back the curtains and returning to the checkout counter. He’d changed his clothing and was waiting for his Luna impatiently as the wedding had already begun at his friend’s house. The good news was that there would be only a half-hour late, but women always take their time getting dressed. He had to check on her! Just as the Alpha stepped into the changing room, he saw Kiara walk out wearing the sexy black gown he had

picked for her.

“Is she really our mate? f**k! I want her now,” Dean nearly exclaimed as he took another step forward to eye f**k their lovely mate, who had begun to approach them.

“Umm,” Xavier openly checked her out, the young she-wolf cleared her throat, keeping one hand over her exposed bosom being a bit shy. It had to be the lowest neckline she’d ever worn in her life. He carefully took her hand away from her chest and drew her closer to his body. He obtained the best view of her assets.

“Don’t hide yourself from me, Kiara. I have seen everything,” he whispered, kissing her neck as she closed her eyes with a moan. Yes, he had seen, touched, and tasted everything, yet each time he ignited her body with yearning and need. That’s what he was doing in the middle of the shop, as the young woman stood helpless in the arms of her partner. She was absorbed in his licking and sucking on her mark

“Let’s go,” Xavire took her hand as he led her out of the shop while the other customers observed the

se

beautiful couple who fled the mall and drove away in their fancy car without looking back.

“We will be there in few minutes,” he told he after half an hour to give Kiara time to mentally prepare herself. She appeared to be extremely anxious. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s only a wedding, so don’t overthink it. Just stay the way you are,” he continued as he came to a halt in front of a large home

“Okay,” Kiara beamed, relieved. He desired her as she was? Did this imply that he liked her the way she was? Nobody had ever said those things to her. The young woman felt like a queen when he opened the door for her and asked for her hand. She flushed slightly as they entered the wedding hall and were seen by every guest who stepped away from the Alpha and Luna’s path.

Their eyes widened in amazement when they saw the Sirius Bright Pack’s Alpha. Nobody had anticipated that he would be here, let alone with a lady. After the rejection, Xavier had stopped attending weddings and unnecessary ceremonies. Only Zander had attended in his place, but the Alpha had surprised them today by showing up with his gorgeous mate.

“Xavier!” David walked through the crowd as he approached his friend, for whom he had been waiting the entire time. Kiara noticed a lovely woman in a bridal gown approaching them with David.

“You are late. My wedding is over. But finally you have shown up, you jerk,” he scowled as his beautiful mate laughed. He had been behaving erratically in the absence of his friends during the wedding.

“How could I have let it pass me by? My best friend is getting married,” Xavier chuckled, hugging David back.

“You must be Alpha Xavier’s Luna. I am Karina, David’s mate,” Kiaran extended her hand to shake

Kiara’s.

“Yes, congratulations on your wedding,” the young woman replied, noticing the new bride’s big belly. This was not normal, right?

“I am pregnant, five months along,” Karina explained with a giggle.

“Wow, really? Congratulations!” The young she-wolf exclaimed, while her Alpha nodded. He observed her joy about the baby during her.conversation with Karina. She adored babies!

“Would you mind introducing me to your woman?” David smirked, lifting his brows: Xavier sighed and drew Kiara closer to his chest. His friend was unbelievably dramatic.

“This is Kiara. My…” Xavier paused for a few seconds, which raised Kiara’s heart rate. Was he embarrassed about introducing her as his wife? She smiled at Karina and David, who were still waiting for the rest of his response.

“Kiara is my mate,” Xavier replied after a couple of seconds.

“No wonder, your chosen mate is beautiful, Xavier,” David poked his friend’s side, noticing Kiara’s blush.

“Not a chosen mate. She is my soulmate,” when Xavier revealed the truth about Kiara to his friend, David froze in place while Kiara’s surprised eyes snapped to him. Had he actually called her his soulmate

in public?!

“What? She is your soulmate?” David asked, becoming irritated with those who had been summoning him to meet other guests because he wanted to know all about Xavier’s unexpected news.

“Yes, but now you better leave, otherwise your father will come over here,” Xavier joked while his finger roved around Kiara’s waist as his lady continued to think that it was all a dream. How and why would

he disclose their relationship to others? Why would he do such a thing? Was this all a dream?

“All right, but I’ll be coming back to find out everything about your second chance mate. Don’t go anywhere, Xavier,” David warned as he went back with his mate, leaving Xavier speechless. He addressed Kiara as his second chance mate in front of her, she had heard it as well. In a panic, Xavier’s heartbeat became out of control when they played calm music for the couples to dance to. Everything had been f****d up! He carefully moved his head to her side to watch how she had reacted, but she gave him a very serene expression, which surprised him. His green eyes widened more. This was impossible!

“Since when have you known about my past?” He stared in disbelief as he drew her closer to his chest. She had been aware of it! He was certain! otherwise no lady would have been that serene after learning she was her mate’s second chance.

“Since yesterday,” Kiara responded by placing her hands on his shoulders and imitating the other couples. Too many eyes were on them. Xavier shook his head a little to clear his head, still everything was messed up for him.

“How could you be so calm? Don’t you despise being my second chance mate? Don’t you detest the fact that I had a mate in the past…”

“That was your past Xavier,” Kiara pressed her finger to his lips as she sensed his emotions spiraling out of control. He was filled with rage, hatred, and desire, but she drew him back from those memories. Xavier was taken aback when he heard her.

“Really? Do you care about my past?” He whispered when his soft green eyes fixed on hers, kissing her finger.

“Yes,” she replied, feeling his hand sliding down to her hips as he openly massaged them, ignoring everyone who was openly watching them.

“Why?” He asked, sensing her getting aroused. He watched her stand on her toes and touch her lips to his.

“Because I am your present, Xavier. Only yours…”

Xavier closed his eyes,concentrating on the feeling of her soft lips on his. If this was a dream, he never wanted to wake up.
