Accidental Surrogate for Alpha

Chapter 384

#Chapter 384 – Road Trip

Ella

I watch Cora struggle with her choice, biting her lip and trying to figure out how she feels. My heart goes out to her now, because I know that she thinks it is an impossible ask to tell us that she wants to put a coronation on hold so that she can visit a temple.

But suddenly, quite suddenly, it’s all I want for her. Because Cora has been here for us through all of this – and she deserves answers to these questions. And I open my mouth to say this, but Sinclair beats me to it.

“I think we should go,” he says, and I whip my eyes up to see him giving a casual shrug. “It will only take a few days,” he adds, looking down at me to see how I feel. “And, quite frankly, we could…use a break before the madness begins again.”

A little smile creeps over my mouth. “Would it,” Cora begins, and then hesitates again. But we all wait, letting her find her voice. “Would it be safe?” she asks.

“We think it would,” Roger says steadily at her side. “Xander’s on the run, which means he’s scrambling. He’s an old man and we took out the forces that he was using to physically attack us. Even if he’s working to get more, we think that we have…at least a small window of time.”

“We would have to move quickly and quietly,” Henry adds, more cautious now than he’s been in the past – I think spooked, still, by the disastrous results of our last plan. “No planes or anything flashy – just…a small, anonymous family trip.”

I turn my attention back to Cora, wanting to know what she thinks. But she’s still sitting perfectly still and quiet, clearly putting her thoughts together.

“I can’t ask you to do this,” she says after a long, quiet minute. “I – we need to get the coronation going, to keep us all safe.”
