Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 31

31. Memories: I am with you…

Doing things at the last minute never ended well. It just made everything hectic and inconvenient! The young woman hated it, but in the Sirius Bright Pack, she always anticipated that things would be done at the last minute. That was all she had right now. Stephen had been downstairs waiting for her for a long time! Why had he come today? Kiara hastily applied a little lipstick and slipped on her sandals, unconcerned about her makeup.

She needed to get down there as soon as possible before people started to refer to her as the lazy Luna. She had

been the definition of a sloth this morning, waking up at 9:00 a.m.! How had that happened? But why hadn’t her alarm gone off like it normally did? Unless someone turned off the alert on her phone, it was impossible. Was it a conspiracy or had the phone tricked her? Was it the Alpha? Or had it been something else? He had to be the one!

Due to her shoulder injury, the Doctor had ordered Kiara to rest as much as possible, which she had not followed, leading to her being scolded by Xavier. But hadn’t she recovered? How could she spend the entire day doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and ordering others?! But who could explain that to the powerful Alpha who needed to see her

wounds heal before his eyes? He was cautious about trusting what the Doctor had said. Especially after the disgrace of the senior doctor, the pack physicians were at a loss these days. Yes, not everyone was like their superiors, but due to that occurrence, no one dared meet the gaze of the Alpha.

When the young woman had been sighted on the training ground with Jennifer and Lena, she had been carried away in Alpha’s arms back to his chamber. How could she possibly fight when she had been injured?! Alpha Zander, who regretted missing that wonderful scene, had overheard some gossip claiming that it had been a Beauty and the Beast-style scenario! However, the beauty had been blushing, while the Alpha beast appeared overly protective, snapping at those who were admiring the young Luna’s long, silky legs, as she had been dressed in shorts. Again with the shorts! The Alpha needed to establish a dress code for the training grounds!

Kiara sat on the bed in the room while Xavier crossed his arms over his chest, towering over her. When the grouchy Alpha had scolded her, the young she-wolf looked like a little puppy. He had her eat in front of him, he had assisted her with some of the arm exercises, and kept an eye on her to see whether she was getting enough rest. That was when he had been convinced that she had been completely cured, but not before she had slept for an inordinate

amount of time.

Due to this child-like treatment, she had not wanted to sleep at night but then she had gotten that call from Adira and her whole world had turned upside down. Her sister wanted to meet Kiara! !

Kiara was still haunted by the horrific incident last night, when Xavier had entered the room and she had been so panic that she had dropped her phone on the floor. Fortunately, Tyler knocked on the door, and Xavier exited the room. She had no idea how long he’d been there.

“What should I do now?” The young woman, who had been rushing through her morning ritual had little time to waste, came to a halt and took a deep breath while staring at her reflection.

The young Luna was still shaken by last night’s incident, which had completely left her with a night bereft of sleep. She felt torn between her desire to meet a member of her family and her feelings for Xavier. She wanted to visit her sister, no matter the circumstances, so that she could get the truth about what had been going on in Adira’s life and the pack. She was well aware that her sister was in serious peril. For them, the sisterly bond had always been quite strong. She could sense something was wrong.

Of course, she was also bound by her responsibilities as Luna, the surrogacy contract, and the Ardara Moon Pack’s pact with Xavier that Sawyer had signed. Everything was going to be destroyed if she made one wrong

move.

That’s when Kiara took a deep breath, smiled, and decided to forget about it for a little while, leaving the room at a fast walk. She had squandered much too much time. How could she have forgotten, this was so last minute?!

That’s when she ran into something hard like a wall.

“I am sorry, Luna! Are you hurt?” The man apologized right away. Kiara growled, rubbing her forehead while looking up to find the blue eyes of an attractive man who was her new bodyguard.

“I’m truly sorry, Luna.I had no idea that…”

“Don’t worry. It was entirely my fault. I am not hurt, so it’s all right,” When she saw his panicked and terrified expression, the young woman laughed a bit. Had he anticipated he’d be punished?

“Should I bring some ice, Luna?” Lance said, still concerned.

“So the Alpha discovers and punishes you?” The young Luna lifted her eyebrows at her bodyguard, finally hinting to him that he was about to make a mistake.

“Ice sounds like a horrible idea,” he smiled, nervously. Lance was quick to recall the Alpha’s bad temper and cold demeanor. He could very well be punished for the blunder he had made with the Luna.

“Now you get it,” Kiara chuckled.

“Yeah,” he said, laughing with her. It was the first time that Kiara had noticed his dimples when he laughed. She had no idea that Xavier would appoint her a personal bodyguard. The most interesting part was that the bodyguard was really handsome!

After lunch, Lance had come into her room to introduce himself. He stood outside her room and followed her around like a hound. The man appeared to be older than she was, yet he was approximately the Alpha’s age. But this big dog didn’t have a mate, his neck was unmarked.

“Can you tell me where you’re going, Luna?” He was all set to follow her.

“I’m going downstairs, but you don’t have to follow me,” Kiara advised with a little smile and an order that he

promptly obeyed.

“Then I’ll be here waiting for you, Luna. Please do not go anywhere without me,’ Lance returned the smile. This

guy gave off a truly friendly vibe.

Kiara entered the dining room swiftly, only to find it full with the Beta, Gamma couples, Stephen, and the twin Alphas. There was a conversation that had been going on between Zander and his Grandfather but it had come to a halt as soon as she walked in.

“The Luna is here!!” Kiara’s eyes snapped when she heard Alpha Zander’s unexpectedly enthusiastic voice. What

had made him shout like that out of nowhere? He was acting as though he was seeing her for the first time. What was

his deal?

“Don’t mess with me, boy!” Stephen snarled at Alpha’s younger twin. His grandson was astute enough to use Kiara’s presence to divert his Grandfather’s attention away from the conversation that had bored the hell out of him. It was a family meal, not a formal one, so the elderly wolf was extremely active and pointed things out to his

grandsons one by one. Xavier’s ears were practically bleeding, but he had to put up with it until breakfast was
