Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 39

39. His first chance mate.

The horrifying sound that the enormous and mysterious doors that housed the store room elicited as they were opened was like something out of an old-fashioned horror movie. They had been kept closed for the last two years,

producing that bone chilling noise. Kiara peered around the store room in amazement when she entered this space

for the first time.

“Wow! What a spacious and clean room you’ve been given, Meow! You are quite fortunate. My old room at the

Ardara Moon Pack was about a fourth the size of this large and lovely one,” Kiara remarked enthusiastically, allowing

her cat to explore her new surroundings, while Meow’s mistress began to look around. No doubt her little white cat

loved it as she immediately settled into her cat house to sleep again. Kiara found that the cathouse, litter box, and all

the other essentials that the cat would require were already in this room. She wondered if this had been a storeroom

at all. Someone must have cleaned it for Meow before everything was brought in.

There was no dust, garbage, or old furniture that had been left in the room, there was still a large cupboard,

some ancient paintings, and antiques that were no longer used. But none of them appeared to be broken. It was

difficult to understand what went on in the minds of the rich and powerful! They squandered money like it was water. The young woman was now one of them, although she never spent money unnecessarily, even though she had been given Xavier’s card to use whenever she wanted.

“How could such a lovely mirror be discarded?” Kiara wondered, exploring every item in the room until a fascinating portrait caught her eye. All of the antiques had been left uncovered, but this one piece of artwork was visible behind the large wooden cupboard. Kiara’s anticipation at seeing the artwork was at an all-time high after viewing all of the wonderful objects found in the room. She attempted to pull it out, but it was stuck and her arms were too short.

The cupboard was also rather large and an antique. It was as solid and unyielding as a large stone! However, the young lady had been taught to never give up. She gave it one more shot. She picked up a wooden chair, stood on it, then proceeded to push the painting out from behind the cupboard, after all previous attempts had failed. Why was it so severely stuck, as if someone had hidden it on purpose?

When she finally achieved her goal, a broad smile spread across the young she-wolf’s face that was as bright as

the sun. The picture was thrown to the ground! But why had it been wrapped in a red cloth? She was taken by surprise when she saw a curtain draped over the painting. If it had been left in this store room, that implied that the painting had no longer been of any use. So what was the point of covering it with cloth? The inquisitive Luna sprung off of her chair to explore it further. She initially turned it to face towards her before removing the cloth.

The sound of several wooden items falling hit the Beta female’s ears as she passed through the third floor hallway on her way to her bedroom.

“Hmm, what is that noise?” Jennifer was perplexed when she noticed the store room’s door was slightly ajar. She gasped, since no one was permitted to enter that store room unless the Alpha himself granted them permission.

the moment I walked into this Sirius Bright Pack, I knew there was something amiss. The pack members’ questioning stares and gossip were enough to convince me that the position that I held was not mine. Margaret despised me. She was astonished that Xavier had picked me at the time. Had it just been due to the fact that I was the enemy’s daughter? I opted to ignore her remarks, thinking of her as a devastated mother who had just lost her blind daughter.

Kiara’s body grew cold while her eyes widened in surprise. Mate, he had another mate? Her gaze returned to the wedding photograph, where he looked madly in love with his partner. That’s when she remembered his statements from their wedding night. He’d told her about a woman in his life before Kiara. But she never knew it would turn out to be his first mate. The young she-wolf felt as if her soul had left her body,
