Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 10

10. If It’s not you, then it’s no one!

“I will mark my Luna,” Xavier declared. Kiara who had been sweating profusely, turned to stare at him in disbelief. He must have gone

insane. Instead of refusing, he was making commitments! Why? Xavier’s emotions were erratic. This was not what he had hoped for. Only the mention of marking had made him want to vomit, but he realized that his Grandpa had been involved in a mind-link with the other

elders.

f**k! Kiara’s surrogacy would have been revealed if he had refused. All of the elders were spiteful and would go to any length to

obtain a Luna for the pack. It had been fine for a while, but not anymore. Because she was Sawyer’s daughter, the young female’s life was

in grave danger if she revealed herself to be a surrogate. The Alpha’s main ambition now was to sever the throats of all the elders at once.

Zander, Kaiden, and Tyler had been watching his subjugation with bated breath, but the old wolf had forgotten about his grandson due

to the unexpected good news.

“That’s great!” their Grandpa exclaimed with delight, finally glancing at his other grandson, whom he had purposefully ignored until

he had forced Xavier to say yes.

“See, finally your brother made the right decision and got a beautiful Luna,” the old male taunted Zander with a smirk. Only those

close to them like Beta and Gamma could decode the true significance of the Grandfather’s words.

“Good for him, but I don’t believe marking is required. I believe we should stop wasting time on superflưous ceremonies and instead

concentrate on more important issues,” Zander countered with a bored expression. He couldn’t pontificate how much he wanted to put

an end to this marking ceremony! It was an unfortunate circumstance! They needed Luna and an heir, which Xavier was trying to provide,

so why was marking fuckingn nessacry?!

Kiara was not going to be marked by Xavier! He knew his brother better than he knew himself. The more they forced him, the more

violent and obstinate he became. This old male had done nothing but pressure them to find their mates and have children. Zander was

irritated by Xavier’s angry expression, that had cleverly concealed. Stephen clenched his teeth and grimaced. Instead of pressuring Xavier

into mating and marking, he should have been encouraging him and claiming that it was unnecessary!

“You brat! Mating and marking rituals are as essential as breathing! If Xavier does not follow the traditions of the werewolf community at large, his Alpha status will be jeopardized,” they were gathering as a family, not as Alpha or elder, so he had decided to use his grandfatherly tone to reprimand them. Stephen’s every statement was accurate, as the twin brothers knew.

An Alpha who did not have a mate or an heir would be ousted from his position by someone who could provide both of these things

to the pack. There was a lot of pressure on Xavier after the rejection, so he had selected the option of having an heir through surrogacy,

but Grandfather had totally flipped the script on that sad reality. Zander remained silent after his comment as he observed Xavier, who had barely managed to keep the molton rage contained that had been building inside of him. Kiara, on the other hand, appeared to be

even more disturbed.

“You are correct my boy, absolutely, we should concentrate on other issues, such as the fact that you haven’t found your soul mate
