Surrogate For Alpha Dom

Accidental Surrogate Chapter 376-The Cost Ella

My internal screaming continues, echoing through me as I grab whatever bond I

have to my Goddess mother and pull on it as hard as I can –

And I’m still screaming, there, in my mind and honestly maybe from my throat as

well, I’m too far beyond myself now to know – when suddenly…

…She’s here.

My mother’s presence materializes first in my mind as she reaches for me,

worried.

“Ella!” I hear her say, her voice chiming against my own frantic screams, “Ella, I

am here!”

Shocked shocked to feel her, shocked that it worked – I find myself thrown out

of my meditative state and into my own body, which is still freezing cold. But

when my eyes fly open I gasp to see that she’sShe’s actually here. Not just present in my mind – but standing before me. And

as I blink frantically, letting my eyes adjust, I realize that she’s not… physically

here. Not in the way she was when we met her in the desert. But she’s here in

her spirit – she presents herself before me in an echo of her true form, a

glowing, beautiful specter that reaches her hands out towards me.

“Mother!” I gasp. “Mom please – I need my baby – please release me -”

quite touch my face. I feel her, though something about her touch tingles against

my cheeks as she tries and fails to take my face in her hands. ” I don’t

understand, child – I don’t know what’s happening -”

And then I’m sobbing, looking up at her, desperate for her to know but so cold

now so incredibly cold – and unable to find the words to express it all-

“Close your eyes, darling,” she murmurs, looking down at me with her beautiful,

glowing face. “Show me.”

And I do. I press my eyes shut and, sobbing, I press my thoughts – my

memories – my fears – my ideas everything forward towards her. And I hear her

gasp at first in shock, and then coo with understanding. –

“All right, Ella,” she says softly, and I open my eyes again to see her shaking her

head at me. “Your gift is bound, my love and I cannot – ”
