Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 3

and ordering her youngest daughter to leave the pack that way could only mean one thing: the Ardara Moon Pack had lost the battle. “What about my brother?” Kiara inquired about her twin brother. Not once had Martha mentioned him. He had joined the pack in the fight. Kiara sensed a layer of hatred in her Mother’s eyes as she asked about him. She pulled her body closer to her Mother, who had grown silent and stiff as she gripped her arms. “Mom, where is Lewis!” She sobbed when she realized he had died. Her brother had died. This was why Luna Martha wished to keep both of her girls safe. She had urged them to flee. They had murdered her brother, who was completely innocent. “There is no way I am running away like a coward,” Kiara declared, tossing her suitcase aside and putting all of her clothing back in her cabinet. “What in the world are you doing?” Her Mother attempted to dissuade her. “Yes, we lost the battle, and my bastard con was killed! He is the one to blame for us having to fight this awful war, which we have lost. Our demise is now assured,” the Luna admitted. Martha’s comments were sufficient to describe her indignation and anguish. Her last son had become the source of their pack’s demise. “Why are you blaming Lewis?” Kiara was confused.  “Your brother tried to steal a female’s innocence, she was from the Sirius Bright pack. He ended up killing her. I still cannot believe that your brother is such a monster,” Martha revealed the truth that she had been hiding from her daughter.  The Ardara Moon Pack had a long-standing feud with the Sirius Bright Pack, which the ancestors had opted to disregard for the sake of all. Despite the fact that they were still in a cold war with that pack, they were neither adversaries or allies, violence and c*****e ceased. But, knowing the anger and bitterness between the two packs, Lewis and his friends had murdered an innocent female from their pack. He was terrified of his Father’s wrath after committing that crime. He tried to conceal his scandal from everyone, but he was caught off guard when the Sirius Bright Pack attacked them within a few hours. Lewis had been the first casualty of the attack, he died instantaneously. The Father of the innocent female that had been murdered by him so viciously that her body was difficult to identify, then they began to kill each other. The conflict had been instigated by the Ardara Moon Pack, but they had been defeated by the strength of the Sirius Bright Pack. “What?” Kiara placed her palm over her mouth scared, after discovering her brother’s horrifying dark side. Lewis had only been a few minutes older than her. During those few hours while the fighting had raged on, she had mistaken it as an attempt by enemies to reclaim their territory, but it turned out to be a fight for honor. “This battle was the result of that young females’ father’s rage. Unfortunately, the female was the Alpha’s cousin, he was furious. All of the Sirius Bright Pack’s reasons for attacking were legitimate. But I can’t allow both of you my daughters to perish with us. Our fate has been sealed, but I shall secure my daughter’s,” her Mother stated, attempting to prevent her from unpacking her clothing. “So, mum, what do you expect me to do? How would I live with myself if I ran away, leaving all of you to die? How would I go on living knowing that my parents and pack were no longer alive? Isn’t it true that family is intended to be together no matter the situation, just like you’ve always taught me? So why do I need to flee? If we are dying, I want to be a part of this as well.” She brushed away her Mother’s tears. Martha adored her lovely daughter, who remembered everything that she had taught her. Even though they had lost the war against that mighty pack and death was closing in on them, she was not ready to abandon them. Despite the fact that she had lived her entire existence in a world of injustice. “It was different back then, but the situation has changed, Kiara,” she quietly took her hand in hers. “We may not be able to defend anyone now, but I cannot bring myself to watch any more of my children perish. You must flee before they attack this pack house,” Her Mother stared her in the eyes, making her realize the severity of the situation. They had been through battles before, but this time it had been too much for them. They had already lost half of the pack members. “I am still not going,” Kiara claimed. “Why the heck aren’t you listening to me? You’re leaving, and that’s the end of it,” Luna Martha had had enough as she slapped her obstinate daughter across the face to bring her back to reality. This was not the time to get emotional and make a sacrifice for individuals who had never cared about her. They were never going to recognise her worth no matter what she did. “Would you have listened to me if you were in my position and I told you to leave Dad, Adira, Noah, this pack, and I and escape?” Luna Martha was surprised by her daughter’s question. She had wanted her to be upset because it was her first time slapping her. Yes, she had not been her Father’s favorite daughter, but she had not been physically mistreated either. Kiara’s direct inquiry had rendered the older woman speechless. “You will not run away, right? Then there is no way I am leaving you alone,” Kiara announced that it was no longer necessary to hit or explain anything to her. Her Mother had been soundly defeated. That was when there was a loud bang that came from the main floor of the pack house. “Alpha Xavier Lincoln,” Luna Martha had become concerned after noticing that the Alpha had forced his way into the
