Alpha’s Surrogate by POOJA

Chapter 26

26. A dead body
two days had gone by. Kiara had begun taking her online classes, which kept her occupied most of the time. She had always been
focused on her studies. It was clear that the brand new laptop was really useful. The young lady picked it up fast as well.
Fortunately, due to her status as the Luna, her responsible and gorgeous Beta and Gamma females would not allow their Luna to
perform any household work, even washing her bedding and clothes. An Omega would come to the room twice a day. The new Luna had
been provided meals three times a day, on schedule. All of her friends would join her at the dinner table. She had to confess that being
here had completely transformed her life, she had respect, authority, and power. She had not been treated like a slave in the Ardara
Moon Pack since Martha would not have allowed anybody to torture her daughter simply because Sawyer felt she was bad luck, but Kiara
had needed to perform all of her own chores. It had been a wonderful way for her to spend her time.
In comparison, she was treated like a goddess in Sirius Bright Pack these days. The pack’s female elders came to see their young
Luna. They hadn’t gotten enough time to meet with her at the marking ceremony since it was full of so many twists and turns with Luna’s
escape and the spy’s death. Fortunately, none of those old she wolves put her to the test. Instead, everyone of them had appreciated her for her ability to communicate and respect her elders. The old ladies of the pack had been pleased by the young woman’s ability to listen
patiently to everyone’s advice and issues while also expressing her own ideas.
The outcome of this small meeting had enthralled the pack’s other females, who had wanted to pay their respects to their Luna.
Kiara had begun to learn a lot about the pack’s laws and regulations from Jennifer and Lena. The Beta and Gamma females had gradually
realized that the young lady who had shown them her calm, quiet, yet youthful side was fully capable of dealing with pack members. Her
maturity could not be defined by her age.
Kiara was unable to meet with anybody during her lessons and other little chores that she had picked up with the aid of Jennifer and
Lena. The young woman devised a plan to visit the pack on Sunday, which was an excellent opportunity for her to engage with the other
pack members. It was also one of Kiara’s responsibilities that she had been dreading. She wished to make new friends.
While the she-wolf was learning and adapting to the new pack’s environment and norms, she had noticed a change in her sister’s
behavior. Adira’s phone number had abruptly changed. Yes, the reason for this was Noah. That mad dog had been giving her a hard time, but Adira was not giving up on Kiara and had refused to cut contact with her sister, but now their discussions had become nearly
non existent.
The bulk of their conversations were done via message, but only at night. She was told not to contact Adira. Kiara sensed her sister
was concealing something far larger than herself. Talking to her mother wasn’t going to help because if Sawyer found out Martha was talking to their second daughter they would get into a major fight, something Kiara didn’t want. Something like this made Kiara concerned about her mother and sister, distracting her from her new life. But what if something had gone wrong? She had thought that she had fixed everything when she had left her old pack with Xavier, but it did not seem like everything had gone according to her
plan.
“Please, Adira, don’t keep anything from me,” Kiara murmured. How could she possibly help her? She wished she could go back to
her old pack and double-check.
Because she had no other means to find out the truth, the young woman felt helpless and a bit disappointed. She couldn’t force Adira to talk until she was ready. Unfortunately, Martha and Adira were kiara’s only friends, they were everything to her. Which meant
there was no one in the pack that she could contact to tell her what was happening in the Ardara Moon Pack.
Kiara had also noted Xavier’s unusual behavior in addition to Adira’s issue. She hadn’t heard from him since the morning after the
marking ceremony. She had only seen his face two or three times over the last couple of days. Sometimes he was seen chatting with
Stephen about something in the pack house’s office, other times he was spotted walking towards the parking lot. He’d been preoccupied
with his Beta, Gamma, and other warriors all the time.
But the weirdest part was that he would leave the dining room before she had even come down for her meal, or he would not appear
at all. On the other hand, even if Kiara passed in front of him, he would no longer spare a glance at her. Jennifer told her that the twin
Kiara had been willing to accept that he must have been exhausted that night because he had not come to their room. But when he
did not return the next day, she could no longer ignore it. During Xavier’s absence of two days and two nights, his scent gradually faded
from the room, while Kiara’s attention was constantly drawn to Alpha’s unusual behavior.
When she needed books and stationery, she had chosen to go to the market to get them. Instead, Gamma Tyler had them in her
hand in less than 2 hours. There was tension building in the pack that the young woman was unaware of, but she could see that Xavier
did not want her to leave the territory. He wasn’t around her, so how could he know what she needed?
The Beta and Gamma duo were always there to aid her whenever she needed it. Xavier never appeared, but Gamma Taylor took his

place. Was the Alpha displeased with her? Had she made some kind of mistake? Or had she done something that had made him
unhappy?
Ignoring eye contact, refusing to acknowledge her existence, and declining to return to their bedroom even at night made the young
woman anxious. Was it due to the fact that he hadn’t been able to have two or more rounds with her that night? Had she not been able
to satisfy him? Or had she not been his match in bed?
Should she have let him have his way with her even if she was exhausted? He hadn’t seemed to have any issues at the time, right? Or
had it just been because he had grown tired of her? Perhaps that was the explanation. Kiara hadn’t wanted to feel used and thrown away. Just like Noah had done to her when he hadn’t wanted Kiara to inform their father that he had bullied an Omega so badly that the poor
girl had attempted suicide.
Sawyer had been enraged and thoroughly researched the situation at the time. The only witness to that incident had been the
family’s younger daughter. The terrified heir apparent had lost his s**t because if the Alpha discovered his crime, he would never grant his
Alpha status to his son, who had beaten and bullied his own pack member for no reason.
Kiara had been 15 years old at the time, she had been easily manipulated by her older brother, who had begun to display his nice
side and devotion to his mistreated sister. Noah revealed his true colors to Kiara the very moment the case had been closed in a lack of evidence. That had been the first and only time he had raised a hand to her and threatened her with never opening her mouth or telling their parents about his nasty secret. Kiara was dragged back to reality when she realized she had been used and dumped.
People would benefit from her first, then they would constantly push her away. Kiara felt the same way as a result of Xavier’s actions.
Not even wanting it to, a thought had crossed her mind that perhaps Xavier had only desired her virginity, which he had obtained, so now
she had been cast away.
Kiara expected to have a decent conversation concerning Xavier’s surprising behavior toward her. She had suppressed her irritation
for a good amount of time. She had become determined to speak out first if he would not change his attitude! She hadn’t even smelled
him around the pack house today. He hadn’t even come back for breakfast.
It was equally as likely that she had been overthinking and that he was really preoccupied with work. Kiara turned off her laptop
since she couldn’t concentrate on her schoolwork any longer. One of the reasons was that she had missed a few classes from the previous
semester, making it difficult for her to grasp the new concepts.
She required a clear understanding, she needed to collect notes from the previous semester and speak with a couple of her
classmates. But would she be allowed to leave the pack? She had the impression that Xavier was not on the pack grounds, so she
couldn’t obtain his approval. That’s when Kiara had an idea. There was someone who could supply her with the notes she needed!
“Where are you going, Kiara? I thought you had classes, “Jennifer questioned as she saw her Luna hurrying down the stairs.
“Yes, but I was confused and needed some notes. Do you have any clue where Cole could be at this time?”
“This morning, he drove Lena someplace. Perhaps they’ve returned. He’s probably in the parking lot. Should I call the Omega for
you?” Jennifer asked, immediately starting to mind-link, but she was stopped by Kiara.
“There’s no need to summon him. I want to talk to him on my own. I also have some issues that I need to discuss with him directly,”
the young she-wolf excused herself with a small soft smile, then departed from the pack house in search of the Omega, who was actually
in the parking lot.
The young man was washing one of the luxury cars of the pack’s ranked wolves.
“Kiaral” Cole was taken aback for a few seconds. The sudden visit of the pack’s new luna surprised the Omega, who had too many
eyes on him.
“How can I help you, Luna?” The young wolf instantly dropped his head, correcting his earlier mistake of addressing her by name.
The rumors in the pack were notorious for spreading like wildfire. If Alpha caught wind of it and learnt that the Omega called his Luna by
name, he’d be in big trouble.
“Are you upset with me because I attempted to attack you? I wanted to express my heartfelt apologies for that mishap. That day,
went insane and couldn’t recognize you. I had no intention of hurting you. I apologize once more”
“I’m not mad at you at all! I’m also aware that the first shift requires blood. I’ve been through it myself. What you did was a common
occurrence, but you kept your cool and did not attack me. Yes, I was concerned since I hadn’t identified you. If I had known that Wolf was
you, I would have given you all of my blood. I’ll never be mad at you.”
Cole’s emotions were all over the place, and his eyes were warmer than his words. If he’d realized he’d have given her all of his
blood?! Had she heard that correctly? Kiara blinked as she witnessed his genuineness, unexpected feelings, and commitment to her. It
felt like it was more than just a friendly vibe.
Kiara cleared her throat slightly, which made Cole realize what he had said. He only scratched the back of his neck as he looked down
at the ground, unable to explain the full meaning of his comments.
“If you’re not offended, why did you call me Luna?” The young woman chose to disregard some of the things he had said and cease
overthinking the significance of his remarks as she continued her talk with the Omega, who raised his eyes in astonishment.
“I don’t want to perish at the hands of the Alpha if he overhears me calling you by your name,” he freely expressed his dread of Alpha Xavier. Previously, he had been an unnoticed member of the pack, but Kiara’s presence in Xavier’s life has told Cole that the Alpha clearly
has something against him in his mind. The Alpha was not fond of the young wolf! His eyes told him all that he needed to know. He was
never required to speak it aloud.
“Why are you terrified of Alpha when I am the one who is allowing you to address me by my name? You are my friend. If you don’t
want me to stop talking to you or our friendship to come to an end, keep calling me Kiara. Otherwise I’ll just completely ignore you.”
“No! Please don’t disregard me, Kiara,” Cole became petrified. In an instant, her threat had struck his heart and head like poison. He
felt as if he had lost his very purpose of existence.
“That’s great!” Kiara smiled triumphantly as he finally conceded defeat and addressed her as she wished. Cole couldn’t help but
blush as he spotted Kiara flashing her gorgeous smile, just for him. The young man’s blushing face had drawn the attention of passing
she-wolves. No question, he had become handsome like he was from a rich family!
“Now that we’ve cleaned things up between us, I’d like you to never apologize to me again in relation to this situation,” Cole
urged.
“All right,” the young woman agreed with a little giggle and a quick nod.
“I came to you for another purpose, anyways. Actually, I require your help.”
“Don’t put it off! You may ask me anything, I would even rip my chest open and give you my heart…” The young man bit his lower lip
as he realized he had continued to make the same blunder again and again.
“Please don’t take me seriously, I was only kidding”. He used his intellect and dealt with the issue as soon as it became
uncomfortable.
“So, what do you need from me?” He lifted his brow and grinned at the young woman who rolled her eyes.
“Your notes from the previous semester. Are those notes still in your possession?” The young man observed her eager chocolatey
eyes, which filled him with happiness. He couldn’t resist, and it made his heartbeat quick.
“I have them, but they’re at my house,” Cole averted his gaze, rubbing his cheeks and refusing to blush. She had a wonderful scent!
But now that her smell had been blended with Xavier’s, Cole felt as if she were never alone. That the Alpha was always around her, which
made his heart hurt. She had become Xavier’s.
“Would you mind letting me borrow them? I’m having trouble comprehending the concepts because I skipped some lessons that!
“There is no need for you to return the notes to me. You may keep them forever, since you know everything is stored in my brilliant
mind.” The young wolf offered a powerful smirk to the young lady who had always adored the head of the class. Cole had always been the
