Accidental Surrogate for Alpha

#Chapter 133- Ella gets angry

Ella

"I'm in the Royal Palace.” I finally burst out. "The third floor, my windows look out over the southern gate... it's a corner suite."

At once the crushing weight of his orders dissipate, and I’m left a puddle in his arms. "Good girl." Sinclair praises me, and I feel positively sick to my stomach. "It’s all going to be okay."

I can’t stop crying. I’m beating my fists against Sinclair's chest, angrier than I can ever remember being with him. “ How could you, how could you?" I moan, my entire body shaking with the force of my weeping.

"I’m sorry, Ella." He lets me attack him and never moves to defend himself, only holding me steady as I vent my feelings onto him. "When this is all over, I promise I'll make it up to you, but I stand by what I said. You’re done hurting yourself for the sake of others.”

"But the world needs you! Not me!" I explode, finding it more and more difficult to take in air. "And what do you think they'll do to me if you die? How is that going to help anything?”

"I need you, Ella." Sinclair argues, "I need you as my mate, as the mother of my pups - my Luna. I'm not going to die, Ella." Sinclair promises. "And neither are you. We're not going to let him win, sweetheart."

'You don’t know that!” I combat, heaving in another sob. "I will never forgive you for this, Dominic. Not for as long as I live."

‘The point is that you will live, trouble." He murmurs, his lips against my temple. " That's what matters most. I'd rather you hate me and live, than love me and die - and for that, I won't apologize."

"Well I do hate you!" I try to say, but it sounds about as fierce as a wounded butterfly.

"Do you really?" He inquires, a teasing note in his voice. 'You don't sound convinced."

"Just don’t die." I beg, and I realize that I stopped fighting him at some point. Now I'm clinging to him the same way I had been when he first arrived in my dream, and part of me wishes we could never leave this fantasy realm. We're both safe here. I can be my wolf here without harming my baby, he can claim me and we can be together forever - just the three of us.
