Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 26

26. A dead body

two days had gone by. Kiara had begun taking her online classes, which kept her occupied most of the time. She had always been

focused on her studies. It was clear that the brand new laptop was really useful. The young lady picked it up fast as well.

Fortunately, due to her status as the Luna, her responsible and gorgeous Beta and Gamma females would not allow their Luna to

perform any household work, even washing her bedding and clothes. An Omega would come to the room twice a day. The new Luna had

been provided meals three times a day, on schedule. All of her friends would join her at the dinner table. She had to confess that being

here had completely transformed her life, she had respect, authority, and power. She had not been treated like a slave in the Ardara

Moon Pack since Martha would not have allowed anybody to torture her daughter simply because Sawyer felt she was bad luck, but Kiara

had needed to perform all of her own chores. It had been a wonderful way for her to spend her time.

In comparison, she was treated like a goddess in Sirius Bright Pack these days. The pack’s female elders came to see their young

Luna. They hadn’t gotten enough time to meet with her at the marking ceremony since it was full of so many twists and turns with Luna’s

escape and the spy’s death. Fortunately, none of those old she wolves put her to the test. Instead, everyone of them had appreciated her for her ability to communicate and respect her elders. The old ladies of the pack had been pleased by the young woman’s ability to listen

patiently to everyone’s advice and issues while also expressing her own ideas.

The outcome of this small meeting had enthralled the pack’s other females, who had wanted to pay their respects to their Luna.

Kiara had begun to learn a lot about the pack’s laws and regulations from Jennifer and Lena. The Beta and Gamma females had gradually

realized that the young lady who had shown them her calm, quiet, yet youthful side was fully capable of dealing with pack members. Her

maturity could not be defined by her age.

Kiara was unable to meet with anybody during her lessons and other little chores that she had picked up with the aid of Jennifer and

Lena. The young woman devised a plan to visit the pack on Sunday, which was an excellent opportunity for her to engage with the other

pack members. It was also one of Kiara’s responsibilities that she had been dreading. She wished to make new friends.

While the she-wolf was learning and adapting to the new pack’s environment and norms, she had noticed a change in her sister’s

behavior. Adira’s phone number had abruptly changed. Yes, the reason for this was Noah. That mad dog had been giving her a hard time, but Adira was not giving up on Kiara and had refused to cut contact with her sister, but now their discussions had become nearly

non existent.

The bulk of their conversations were done via message, but only at night. She was told not to contact Adira. Kiara sensed her sister

was concealing something far larger than herself. Talking to her mother wasn’t going to help because if Sawyer found out Martha was talking to their second daughter they would get into a major fight, something Kiara didn’t want. Something like this made Kiara concerned about her mother and sister, distracting her from her new life. But what if something had gone wrong? She had thought that she had fixed everything when she had left her old pack with Xavier, but it did not seem like everything had gone according to her

plan.

“Please, Adira, don’t keep anything from me,” Kiara murmured. How could she possibly help her? She wished she could go back to

her old pack and double-check.

Because she had no other means to find out the truth, the young woman felt helpless and a bit disappointed. She couldn’t force Adira to talk until she was ready. Unfortunately, Martha and Adira were kiara’s only friends, they were everything to her. Which meant

there was no one in the pack that she could contact to tell her what was happening in the Ardara Moon Pack.

Kiara had also noted Xavier’s unusual behavior in addition to Adira’s issue. She hadn’t heard from him since the morning after the

marking ceremony. She had only seen his face two or three times over the last couple of days. Sometimes he was seen chatting with

Stephen about something in the pack house’s office, other times he was spotted walking towards the parking lot. He’d been preoccupied

with his Beta, Gamma, and other warriors all the time.

But the weirdest part was that he would leave the dining room before she had even come down for her meal, or he would not appear

at all. On the other hand, even if Kiara passed in front of him, he would no longer spare a glance at her. Jennifer told her that the twin

Kiara had been willing to accept that he must have been exhausted that night because he had not come to their room. But when he

did not return the next day, she could no longer ignore it. During Xavier’s absence of two days and two nights, his scent gradually faded

from the room, while Kiara’s attention was constantly drawn to Alpha’s unusual behavior.

When she needed books and stationery, she had chosen to go to the market to get them. Instead, Gamma Tyler had them in her

hand in less than 2 hours. There was tension building in the pack that the young woman was unaware of, but she could see that Xavier

did not want her to leave the territory. He wasn’t around her, so how could he know what she needed?
