Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 45

45. the Vampire King

As the car approached the vampire’s boundary line, a peculiar, gloomy, and terrifying silence filled the lush greenery of the forest. It was a land of death and blood. Despite the consuming darkness surrounding it the Vampire Fort seemed to reach up and brush the clouds in the sky. Allowing it to be seen from a great distance. Kiara’s chocolatey eyes widened when she noticed the large metal door and the two sets of crimson eyes protecting it as they stared down at them. She was taken aback by their penetrating stares but remained composed. Her Alpha blood did not allow her to look away

Four vampires who had been waiting near the enormous iron gate had previously been alerted of Alpha Xavier’s impending arrival, swiftly opened the door. They had been able to smell their blood and hear their heartbeat from a distance.The vampire’s security was on par with the pack’s. All of them had their eyes focused on the stunning she-wolf that was sitting alongside the big Alpha. Kiara’s heartbeat had gone out of control as her husband drove the car inside the fort. Kiara had never seen a vampire before. They were even scarier in the dark!

“There’s no reason to be scared of them. They aren’t going to cause you any harm. I’ll drive you safely out of here,” Xavier assuredly while he slowed the car. She thought his confidence was very high when she glanced at him. Weren’t vampires and werewolves enemies? Wouldn’t they take advantage of the fact that both of them were already trapped at their enclave to murder them? Xavier’s reassurance, however, had made her believe.

“Promise?” She asked, immediately realizing that a promise sounded childish. A faint grin formed on Xavier’s lips. The young she-wolf instantly looked out the window to cover her blush, but the Alpha grabbed her hand dragging her closer to him.

“Yes, I promise,” he looked deep into her eyes before planting a delicate kiss on her forehead. The Luna smiled shyly and nodded a bit.

“Let’s go,” he said.

A vampire who had been waiting for the Alpha and Luna to exit their vehicle before opening the door for them. It surprised her when they bowed to them. Why would a vampire bow to a werewolf? Kiara’s hand felt a bit cold, but as soon as it was in her husband’s grasp it warmed up. Then they went into the Fort. Two towering vampires escorted them, one ahead and one behind him, appearing to guide them. Who offers their adversaries an embassaries’ treatment? Things didn’t make sense in this place.

Kiara looked at the beautiful expansive walls that surrounded them with great surprise and excitement. The stones they had used were huge and odd. The place seemed almost ancient. The Vampire’s Fort was the exact opposite of what she had been expecting. There was a lot of light filling the spaces, instead of the smell of blood there was a fragrance that was quite charming. Expensive and luxurious paintings, antiquities, books, and many other unique items decorated the Fort that Kiara had

never seen before in her life.

Her head was pivoting this way and that in amazement as she took it all in. On the other hand, Xavier just kept moving in a particular direction while holding her hand without bothering to look anywhere

other than straight ahead as if he knew where to go.

“Have you been here before?” She asked her mate curiously. It seemed as if he knew his way around

this place.

“Yeah, I’ve been here way too often. I used to play in this place when I was a kid,” he explained, turning right as they entered a large corridor.

“What? You played here? How is this possible?” Her countenance was a mix of amazement and consternation.

“Yes, because…”

“That is because I am kind of Xavier’s uncle,” The Alpha had been interrupted by a voice. When a tall man entered the hall, their feet came to a stop. Kiara noticed a deadly attractive man who exuded a dangerous aura. He was white-skinned with blood-red eyes. He was the King of the Vampires!

“The Vampire King was your uncle?” Kiara wondered aloud, drawing Alfred’s attention.

“Kind off, but not really,” Xavier answered blandly as if he hadn’t just stated something out of the ordinary. As the King fastened his gaze on the young Luna, there was a sudden quiet settled over the hall. Xavier stared between the two of them before Kiara noticed his crimson eyes and turned away from him. Why was he staring at her? Was he trying to frighten her? The Alpha let out a low growl, drawing his mate
