Accidental Surrogate for Alpha
Chapter 157
#Chapter 157 - Cora Confides in Roger
3rd Person
As Sinclair and Ella raced away through the winding streets of the Vanaran capital, Roger found his gaze lingering on Cora. The human was staring after her sister in amazement, as if she couldn't believe her own eyes. The wind fluttered through her black hair, carrying her now-familiar scent to the rugged wolf.
Roger had been sticking close to Cora ever since they fled Moon Valley. When he first turned up on her doorstep telling her they had to flee the territory, she'd been too stunned to respond. He'd ended up packing a bag for her while she looked on in shocked silence, only speaking in response to direct questions. In the car he and Henry had explained the situation to her in as much depth as they could manage, but he could feel her fear as if it was his own. It called to his protective instincts, and he felt a strange affinity for this woman - like him, she was watching her younger sibling take the world by storm, and though she never expressed any dissatisfaction with her lot in life, Roger did wonder.
Moving beside her, Roger watched as the frolicking pair became no more than tiny dots in the distance, "Amazing, isn't it?" He remarked, startling the preoccupied woman. "A month ago we didn't even think she had a wolf - and now this."
Cora shook her head, "I can't even wrap my head around it. I've known Ella my whole life... and she's always been different, but I thought that was just... Ella being Ella."
"What do you mean?" Roger inquired curious now.
Her mouth stretches into a wry smile. "I don't need to tell you what it's like growing up in someone's shadow." She murmured after a thoughtful beat. "And don't get me wrong, Ella made incredible sacrifices for me, she cared for me through thick and thin. But I'd be lying if I said I never resented her for being so much better at everything, for being strong or brave enough to face the things I couldn't." Cora paused, clamping her eyes shut for a moment with obvious regret. "I'm not proud of it but sometimes I even blamed her for protecting me rather than letting me suffer - how’s that for ungrateful?"
Roger shrugged. "It's natural to want to fight your own battles." He empathized, catching her gaze, "and just because you aren't proud of a feeling doesn't make it invalid."
Cora's eyes widened slightly as Roger's eyes bored into her own, and she felt a slight flutter of excitement in her tummy. When had anyone ever watched her so intently? As if they were looking straight through her to the very core of her being? Roger's wolf perked up when he sensed a spark of interest in Cora's chocolate eyes, and he shifted closer as she forged on. "Well either way it makes sense now." She continued. "Why Ella always seemed to draw people to her like a magnet, why she was always the smartest, strongest and fastest even though she's the size of a doll."

He was sure he was seeing some now, some past darkness that hung over the sisters even in their happiest moments.
