Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 32

32. The decision

The fragrance of flowers in the fresh morning breeze was supposed to provide peace of mind and a good start to the day, but not for the anxious woman in the short black dress. Laila’s assets were enhanced by her attire that had

been finished off with a pair of large black sunglasses and high heels, yet they clashed with her irritated expression. With a black clutch in her hand, she could be mistaken for a model getting ready for a photoshoot. Her large brown

eagle-like eyes were searching for a particular person to whom she had returned to the pack to get her hands on after

a year, only to fall into despair when he slipped through her fingers.

“Can you tell me where the boys are?” She inquired of Jennifer and Lena, since they were the only ones that had seen fit to wish her farewell as she stood beside her shiny expensive car. Why was he not there? She wanted to see Xavier now more than ever. Where could he be? Did he go to get her a rose? Yes! That must be the cause for his absence. He was well aware of how much she adored them. Maybe he wanted to make it up to her by doing that. She smirked in her mind proudly.

“They’ve all been in the office building since early this morning and are sorry they couldn’t come to say goodbye

to you,” Jennifer responded with a small smile, observing Lena’s frown. Due to Laila’s remark about Kiara yesterday,

the Gamma female was irritated with the short-haired she-wolf. Kaiden and Tyler had asked their mates to bid their

friend farewell in a courteous manner and to apologize for not properly saying goodbye themselves.

The DNA results from the deceased wolf had arrived. Xavier had left his room before Kiara awakened, and all the

men gathered in the office to discover that the guard had been murdered by a vampire. Those blood suckers had left a

bite mark complete with venom in the wolf’s body. Both the Alphas were furious. The Vampire King was blatantly

violating the treaty, but the reason behind their attack was still unclear. The werewolves now had proof, but they needed to capture them red-handed for waging war on them. The situation was critical, and they wanted to resolve it

as soon as possible before any more lives were put in jeopardy.

“How can Xavier treat me like this? At the very least, he should have come to say goodbye for the sake of our

friendship. He even promised to spend some time with me, but I never saw him. Zander, Kiaden, and Tyler were missing too. Now, when I return, Xavier isn’t there to greet me. He didn’t pay attention to me while his wife and mate insulted me!” Laila complained, tossing her sunglasses, revealing that she had been chasing after a man that she

had meant to captivate. Her true goal had been to return the Sirius Bright Pack to finally capture Xavier, but it had

been completely ruined by Kiara. The young Luna had not let her touch the Alpha.

How could that little scumbag threaten her in front of all the ranking males? It had been extremely disrespectful

to do that to the previous Beta’s daughter, who was respected and liked by all of her former pack members. Even
