Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 43

43. soulmate

Outside of the pack house, the sound of luggage wheels moving on the grassy lawn, the Alpha’s shoes approached the car with the early morning sunbeam as birds’ tweeting could be heard. Gamma Tyler was following behind the twins while Beta Kaiden had the Alpha’s baggage in his hands. The pack’s second and third in command had been closely listening to all of the conversation and orders. They had wanted to accompany the Alpha since it was dangerous to go alone to meet the Vampire King, but Xavier had refused to take anybody with him.

The vampires that hadn’t cared about sunrise or sunset had accepted the invitation to meet the Sirius Bright Pack’s Alpha in just a few hours. Surprisingly, or maybe more than coincidentally, the Vampire King Alfred had also sent Xavier an invitation for a meeting the same night. The reason for his request remained unknown, but the younger Alpha, who had been working late into the night, had accepted the offer quickly. He then notified his brother, who left his bed early in the morning to arrange everything that would be needed.

Zander was going to stay in the pack, so that the older Alpha would be less stressed, but both the twins wanted to talk about a few things while they were heading to the car.

“Let me know if anything happens,” Xavier commented as he came to a halt in front of his car, ending his chat with his brother. Tyler loaded his luggage into the car.

“I’ll make sure to tend the pack. You just need to take good care of yourself,” Xavier decided to get into his car after a brotherly hug, but he paused to draw in a long and deep breath. How long would the she-wolf remain hidden? He had been waiting for her to come from behind the wall, but she lacked the confidence.

“Iris,” when her brother called her name, the young green-eyed she-wolf was startled. Why was he calling her for? Should she go back to her room and pretend she was sleeping?

The twins exchanged glances before the older Alpha ordered, “Come out here and stop hiding.”

Iris chewed her lower lip in anxiety for a few seconds before obeying his orders and revealing herself. She had conceded defeat when she realized that no trick would fool her brothers, who had already detected her presence behind the wall.

Lowering her head she focused her attention down on the ground, she took baby steps closer to her brothers then stood timidly, which was very unlike her. This little vixen was not a shy girl, but a naughty little chatterbox, yet she was filled with remorse today.

“I am sorry, brother,” he spoke in whispers and sounded as though she was going to weep. The family’s only sister had wished to provide joy to her brothers via the motherly affection that she had unexpectedly received from Luna Maya, but she had no clue that her Mother was using her in order to gain an advantage over the twins so that she could preserve Alpha Luca’s pack.

Instead of her motherly love, the young woman had come home with quarrels and conflicts, which had made her feel horrible. She had avoided her brothers for a whole day and night due to their fury, but she was determined to apologize this morning. But mustering the courage had been a difficult task. Zander’s rage and snarls the previous day had terrified her. His brothers had never scolded her but yesterday had been a different case.

“There’s no need to apologize, Iris. Everyone makes mistakes,” Xavier placed his hands on her shoulders urging her to gaze to meet his eyes.

“Always keep in mind that Zander and I are your only family. The Sirius Bright Pack members are your family. That woman does not want us, so don’t be caught in her trap again. We’re not mad with you, so don’t cry,” he added. When she nodded obediently and hugged Xavier closely, tears streamed down her cheeks. As she was still hesitant to look at either of her brothers, her small hands drew Zander in for a

group hug.

“Don’t cry, monkey,” Zander chuckled and kissed her on the cheek, which relieved his sister. After a while, she drew herself back smiling at her brothers.

“Brother, there’s something important I need to discuss with the both of you, but I’ll wait until you return,” she smirked, raising the twins’ brows. Their sister had a lot of surprises in store for them.

“All right,” they chuckled as Xavier turned to face the car.

“I’m leaving,” the Alpha stated, smiling as he glanced at the window of his bedroom one last time. The light in his room was still turned off. Dean whimpered in sadness.

“Take care,” Zander urged as the driver opened the door to let Xavier get in.

“Xavier!! Wait!!”

‘It’s her!” Dean roared in Xavier’s head as the Alpha turned around to find his little mate running towards him.

“Kiara?” He whispered her name in amazement. Had she not been sleeping? So, what brought her out here? How did she get here? Without his knowledge, his feet began to move closer to his wife.

“Wait for me,” the young she-wolf came to a halt in front of him, gasping for air. She had dashed from the pack house to the car at full speed. Xavier came closer to her, holding her arms to support her fatigued body in front of her, as she had stumbled due to the high heels she had been wearing.,

“What exactly are you doing here?” Xaiver inquired, drawing her closer as he brushed her brown hair from her face.

“… I want to go with you,” the young lady blinked innocently up at him, as if she was scared to speak. She was clutching her hands at her sides in a panic. This was the first time she was prepared to leave the pack house without asking for his permission first. As soon as Adira had told her that Xavier was leaving, Kiara had prepared to go with him. Lance, her bodyguard, ran up behind her with her luggage to the car before the Alpha left. He watched the exchange between the two of them while putting her beg in the car not knowing if his Luna could go or not but he had done his duty.

“Will you take me with you?” Kiara asked, biting her lower lip causing Xavier’s heartbeat to skip. She wanted to accompany him on a trip, he had never imagined that. He observed that she had dressed in the approtate clothing, make-up, hairstyle, and trappings so that she could accompany him. When the Alpha did not respond, she had a self-conscious moment. Why would he allow her to accompany him? Just like Noah had warned, she would be imprisoned in a golden cage with no access to the outside world. She became aware of her embarrassment as she felt the younger Alpha, Beta, and Gamma’s gazes on her.

“Well, it appears that I am being foolish. I should go back,” Kiara scratched her nose with a little laugh as she gazed down at her feet, eager to go to avoid further humiliation. She had acted without

thinking.

“Please return soon from your business trip,” she said with a smile, before turning to leave.

“Oh my Goddess!!” The young woman shrieked when her body was abruptly lifted into the air and she found herself in her mate’s arms. What was he thinking all of a sudden? She turned around in panic, only to discover that everyone was still there watching them! Was the Alpha insane?

“Xavier,what are you doing?”

“Why are you returning to the pack house? Our car is here,” Xavier stated as he walked over to it. The young Luna blinked in confusion as he gently placed her in the passenger seat, as if she would break easily. Kiara stared at him as he locked her seat belt, his face was so close to her that she could see every little
