Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 16

16. Venus.

Xavier heard his brother’s footsteps making their way closer to his desk.

“That’s enough for today. Don’t you plan to rest?” Zander furrowed his brows then closed the laptop that held his brother’s

complete attention. It was nearly midnight yet he was still working like a machine. Without even sparing him a glance, Xavier moved his

twin’s hand away and resumed his work.

“As you are aware, the entire day tomorrow will be consumed by the drama of the marking ceremony. When I know I’ll be wasting all of my valuable time on frivolous activities in a few hours, I have to finish these papers now.” As usual, the Alpha was cold and direct, openly expressing his displeasure with the marking ceremony, which had gone against his original plans.

Zander agreed as he took a seat in the other chair. They were currently at their office building. The Alphas of the Sirius Bright Pack had constructed an office building on their pack territory. It was pretty far from the pack house, and only important individuals were permitted access to it. The Alpha brothers had done it for the sake of corporate security and pack management.

“If your young female signs the surrogacy contract, the marking ceremony is doable. But she may still go with the second choice and leave the pack before sunrise, as you suggested,” Zander reminded his brother of the exact quandary that he had been trying to avoid brooding over.

Xavier’s muscle stiffened as his fingers came to a halt on the keyboard, with the possibility that he was already well aware of it. He had been the one who had offered Kiara both options. When she had been chatting with her mother using video chat, the melancholy young female had resembled a baby who had lost at a fair. She looked adorable with her red nose and pouty lips, which she had kept shut most of the time. She had certainly been missing them and longed to return if she could take advantage of the excellent opportunity

that the Alpha had already provided for her. Would she stay or leave? f**k! It already sounded shitty!!

Her age and innocence, however, could not define her maturity. She was aware of Alpha Sawyer’s rage and ego. After severing all ties

with her, the old Alpha would never allow her to rejoin the Ardara Moon Pack. Even if Luna Martha begged him. It was evident that once

she left the Sirius Bright pack, she would be unable to return to her former pack or any place else familiar. She had nowhere to go.

But after signing the contract and agreeing to all of Xavier’s terms, a predetermined sum would be deposited into her bank account

every month so that when she left the pack after a year, she would be able to live well. The Alpha had really only left one door open for the young she-wolf, the one where Xavier stood, but his younger brother’s inquiry had made him doubt his own prediction. He didn’t

know whether she would sign the contract or not. What had her decision been? He needed to wait until morning, but the Alpha was

notoriously impatient!

“f**k you, jerk! Thanks to you, now I can’t concentrate on my work!” In annoyance, Xavier clenched his teeth and shut his laptop.

This was going to be an exceedly long night! Zander busted out laughing. He had a slew of tactics up his sleeve to divert his brother’s

attention away from his workaholic tendencies.

“Does that imply that you’ll let her go easily if she decides to leave the pack?”

“Never! She can’t leave this pack!” Xavier roared in unison with Dean. The very notion of Kiara leaving their bedroom just sent his wolf into a frenzy, so there was no way she could pass through Sirius Bright’s Pack’s borders without his knowledge. Zander chuckled, returning his gaze to the door.

“We’re back,” Tyler said as he and Beta Kaiden entered Xavier’s office.

“What exactly is this?” When Xavier saw his friends appear with a large stock of whiskey, seafood, cheese, roasted meats, and

desserts, he got up from his seat with no intention of continuing to work. They appeared to be here for a party!

“Hmm, we were informed that your bachelor party would be tonight,” Kaiden smirked, placing his treasured alcohol carefully on the
