6. Holding a stranger’s hand.
“You are going to be my surrogate, and I will determine the rules,” he growled. Kiara gasped in fear at his words. What exactly had he
meant?
The only sound that had resonated in the room was the pinging of the ring bouncing against the floor, followed by a soft moan as she had begun to lose control. What was he up to with her? It was wrong. There was no question she should have absolutely pushed him away. She should have urged him to stop, but she couldn’t bring herself to protest. The dangerous aura that seemed to be oozing from
his very pores had engulfed her.
“Kiara,” a loud knock on the door forced Xavier to open his eyes. His astonished green irises meet terrified chocolatey ones.
“f**k!” Xavier drew back quickly like he was being burned. He shifted his face to the side as Dean continued to try to take him
over.
“You f*****g bastard! Don’t you dare even think about trying to take over again!”
Xavier warned his wolf. He couldn’t believe it, when
he realized he had kissed a female! How could he have allowed anything like that to happen?! How in the world had he lost control? That
never happened. Those prostitutes hadn’t even been able to get him hard; instead, their smell had made him feel sick. He usually kept
his distance from females, but that had been a f*****g KISS!!! He hadn’t felt disgusted when his lips had touched hers.
“Grr… this isn’t my fault. Both of us are aware of how sexually dissatisfied we are. At least I didn’t f**k her,”Dean growled back at Xavier, displaying his displeasure at being disrupted before he could make his next move.
“We’re never going to f**k her!” Xavier yelled at him. What the hell had this fool been thinking when he had created this surrogacy
plan? Things would have been too far if the knock hadn’t jolted his brain into use instead of his d**k.
“She is only our surrogate,” Xavier continued, running his hand over his face in an attempt to assert complete control over himself. But Kiara’s scent was on his hand and lips. Dean’s animalistic behavior had become alarming for Kiara. The younger female could be heard shivering behind his back. Kiara had glued herself to the door as she stared at him completely perplexed by his erratic behavior.
He appeared to be about to vomit: He despised his actions. Dean had made him feel ashamed and irritated with himself.
“Don’t hold that against me. She enticed us,”
Dean gave Xavier the cold shoulder since he knew that he wouldn’t be able to
breakthrough now. If he tried to pass through, Xavier would block him. He had complete control over his wolf at all times, this had been
the first time he lost it.
“What?” Xavier was perplexed. They had been seduced by this little female? How was that even possible?
“If you don’t believe me, look at her;” Dean added. Kiara’s big anxious chocolatey eyes caught Xavier’s attention. Her clothes were rumpled as a result of his squeezing and caressing her waist. Her hair was once again cascading over her face hiding its delicacy, yet revealing a new and more lovely aspect of her. Xavier’s gaze was drawn to her stiffened nipples.
“See?” Dean snapped at Xavier.
“Shut up you jerk!” Xavier snapped back at him with a lethal glare. He had resolved to keep his distance from the young female, that
way he would just maintain a very business-like relationship with her. That way she would never have any idea that she had almost lured
him into a trap.
“Are you okay, Kiara?” Another knock banged on the door was followed by Adira’s anxious voice. For a long time, her sister had been locked in a room alone with a stranger who also happened to be a dangerous Alpha, and that prospect terrified her. But, as she stood quietly near the stairs, she sensed movement coming from inside one of the rooms and ran over to knock on the door. What were those rumblings? Had he caused Kiara any harm? Why were they taking so long to open the door?
As she watched the door of the room slowly open she breathed a sigh of relief, Kiara was standing there completely safe.
“You frightened me!” Adira drew her into a tender hug while observing Xavier, who was staring at the two sisters.
“He didn’t do anything untoward, did he?” she whispered quietly into her ear, Kiara had been silent for a few seconds. Was it okay for
couldn’t believe what had just happened to her.
“No, he didn’t,” she assured her, pulling away from Adira, hoping that Xavier hadn’t heard her lie. Kiara didn’t want to worry Adira
any further because she had left her alone in the room with him.
“So, what’s the deal with you smelling like him?” Adira inquired. Kiara was terrified. How could she possibly explain their unexpected
close proximity a few minutes ago? She’d completely forgotten that she would smell like him. Adira saw that her inquiry had put her
sister in an awkward position. Kiara remained silent since she had no intention of lying.
“Forget it,” Adira said, brushing aside her own query. She could readily read Kiara’s expression and understood what had happened.
But as long as her sister was not hurt and had not needed assistance, she preferred to ignore the incident between Xavier and Kiara that
she had in all honesty expected.
Kiara turned to Xavier as she felt the presence of the big Alpha standing behind her, but this time he kept a safe distance.
“So, would you like to be my surrogate? I’m looking forward to hearing your final decision,” he inquired. His two hands were tucked
inside his pants pockets, she realized that his face had become expressionless once more. She didn’t feel like the same male that had just
kissed her. He appeared to be just as cool as he had been earlier with her family.
“What? a surrogate?” Adira gave her sister a startled glance. But Kiara remained calm.
“Yes” While responding to Xavier, Kiara squeezed Adira’s hand. Even though she was still astonished by what she had just learned,
the older sister maintained her calm. Despite the fact that Kiara was younger, Adira felt confident in her capacity to make her own
decisions. Xavier smirked in his head. The outcome of their lengthy discussion favored Xavier, which pleased him.

“But,” Kiara hesitated before taking a step closer to him. Xavier scoffed. But what and why? There should not be ‘But’! There was no
turning back now. Kiara had sensed his frown, but he had been waiting patiently for her to continue.
“I can’t ever tell my parents that I’m a surrogate,” she murmured anxiously, biting her lip. Xavier’s gaze had been drawn to the soft
flesh of her lips, which she had so nicely bitten.
“Our pack may be smaller than the Sirius Bight Pack, but my father’s image is more valuable than his life. He will be quite offended if
he discovers that I have agreed to be your surrogate. I don’t care what consequences await me when the truth is out, but I can’t face the
thought that my decision will also impact my mother and sister,” Kiara stated her final reservations on the matter.
She had also noted Adira’s concern for their mother when the subject of surrogacy had been brought up. But there was one more
thing that bothered Adira. If everyone knew that Kiara had accepted being a surrogate, it would bring Kiara humiliation. She’d only
discussed her parents with Xavier, but she’d kept who it would complicate her personal life in the future from him. Well really why would
he care?
After forcing his greedy gaze away from her lips, Xavier spotted both her sisters exchange glances. Like he had with Zander, they
shared a strong sibling bond.
“Then I’ll tell them we’re getting married,” he added, having discovered the answer to their predicament. He wouldn’t allow anything stand in his way as long as she consented to be his surrogate.
“You will marry me?” Kiara was taken aback.
“No,” he amended, “but I can simply lie to safeguard your honor in front of your parents and pack.” Kiara was surprised by his response. So he was doing this for her? Allowing her to keep her dignity intact. But why? Xavier could readily read her face despite the fact that she had not questioned him explicitly.
“I’m not concerned with preserving your father’s ego or his social standing, but I do not want my surrogate’s reputation to be tarnished in any way. So no one will be harmed by this small lie. You must be mentally as much as physically healthy in order to have a healthy pup,” Xavier offered by way of an explanation.
Kiara slapped herself mentally as she nodded. What the hell had she been thinking? Obviously, he had not wanted a disgraced
female to give birth to his heir. He needed her record and reputation to be clean.
“And, certainly, the same will apply to my pack. We can’t tell anyone that you’re my surrogate,” Xavier added.
“How is it going to work?” Kiara was perplexed by that since she needed to be there, but how was he planning to cover it up?
they learn that, I can always create the excuse that we don’t want to be together a year later, after the birth, on the day you choose to
leave my pack. Things didn’t work out between us, so we agreed to go our separate ways, “Xavier described his whole strategy, which he
had planned with Dean earlier. Kiara agreed after a few moments of contemplation. She didn’t have any other choice.
“Let’s go down the stairs. Clear the air with your parents. I don’t want to stay in this pack for another second,” Xavier walked out of
the room.
“Kiara, do you trust him?” Adira asked, her voice apprehensive.
“We don’t have any other choice, Adira. We need to protect the pack and our parents,” Kiara countered.
“Still…” Adira came to a halt.
“What’s the matter? Do you dislike him?” Kiara was perplexed since she knew Xavier had not said anything to offend her sister, but she appeared disturbed.
“No, it’s nothing like that, but his scent bugs me,” she grumbled.
“His scent? What about it?” Kiara wondered.
“I mean, his clothes just contains have a number of scents from his pack members, and one of them in particular is strange,” She did
her best to explain, but she was also oblivious to what was upsetting her.
“Which scent?”
“Forget it. I was only saying,” Adira said, shaking her head.
Xavier had reached the living room by way of the stairs by the time Kiara and Adira had left the bedroom, indicating his desire to leave this pack behind him.
“Alpha.” In the hall, Kaiden had been eagerly waiting for Xavier. After Orion, Kaiden had been promoted to Xavier’s Beta, the second in command, he was excellent at his job. Alpha Sawyer and Noah were not allowed to make a single peep in his absence, as he had commanded. Xavier wondered at times why he had made Orion his Beta in the first place. Kaiden was flawless and far smarter than Orion. Perhaps it was because Kaiden had only become his friend when they were fourteen. He appeared at a later stage in his life than
his former Beta had. They had first met in school. Xavier motioned for him to release just Alpha Sawyer and Luna Martha, but not Noah.
He’d merely bark like an energetic puppy with none or the cuteness and all of the annoyance.
“Where is Kiara?” Luna Martha had been worrying the entire time, her gaze had been glued to the stairs. Why had he returned alone?
“She was with her sister but is now leaving with me,” Xavier claimed.
“What exactly do you mean?” Alpha Sawyer and Luna Martha asked together. Where had he planned to take their daughter?
“I’ve made the decision to marry your daughter. She’ll be my Luna,” he made the announcement.
When Kiara’s parents heard Xavier’s declaration, they were shocked into speechlessness. Kiara stood beside the steps, while Luna Matha gazed at her in awe. So this was how she intended to preserve her pack and family? Kiara was too embarrassed to look her mother
in the eyes any more. She had no clue that things would turn out this way either.
“It’s ridiculous!” Alpha Sawyer yelled.
“She will not become your Luna!”
“Your daughter and I have had a conversation in which no change is conceivable. She has accepted my offer to become my Luna, and I don’t want to murder my Luna’s pack and family in this scenario. You are fortunate that your daughter has requested that I give her
yourlives and those of your pack as an engagement present,” Xavier smirked evilly as he watched Sawyer’insulted reaction. Xavier had
guessed that her father’s ego was even larger than Kiara had expected, and he was well aware that no matter what every word he had
spoken would disgrace him.
“I’m still not convinced. You’re not going to be able to take her away. She won’t be able to make her own decisions as long as I’m
alive.” Alpha Sawyer couldn’t handle the thought that a female, his daughter whom he had disregarded, had been the one who had
saved them.
“Being a parent does not grant you the authority to make all of her life decisions for her. Your territory has also fallen into my hands,
to hear from Luna Martha and gain her thoughts on this matter,” Xavier directed his attention to the older temale, who had been staring
at both of her daughters incessantly.
Her motherly intuition had been telling her that both of them had been concealing something from her. Martha was their mother, she could easily read them. But she also noted that Kiara hadn’t appeared scared of Xavier, she hadn’t seemed surprised by his . announcements. If there had been a problem or if Xavier had a secret motive that would harm Kiara, Adira would have warned her.
“What do you think, Luna Martha?” Xavier’s voice had grown deep, almost menacing. Martha was fully aware that her rejection of his
proposition would only lead to their deaths. She had no clue what had transpired between Xavier and Kiara, but she was amazed that
her daughter had been able to persuade him into changing his mind. She had promised to save her family and pack, and had been able
to fulfill it. Kiara, on the other hand, scowled. Why had Xavier needed to put her mother in such a tough situation?
Kiara had already stepped forward to speak up, which was only going to enrage her father, so Martha decided to answer.
“I agree,” Luna Martha gave her blessing, astounding Alpha Sawyer and Noah. He tried again and again to open his mouth and shout,
but he couldn’t
“What?!” Her mate snarled at her. Had she gone insane? Giving her daughter to an adversary! Kiara was taken by surprise. Had her
Mum truly agreed? Xavier gave Alpha Sawyer a sly grin.
“It’s all done and dusted now,” Luna Martha regarded Sawyer with a solemn gaze.
“It can’t happen…”
“Sawyer, you have to acknowledge that our son was a rapist! So why should I and my family bear the consequences of his actions? Now is the moment to set aside your ego, focus on your people, and let Kiara live her own life,” she blurted it all out in one breath,
disgusted at having to mention Lewis.
“But he is still our enemy…” Alpha Sawyer attempted to protest, but Luna Martha interrupted him.
“Yes, he is our rival, but he has just asked for our daughter’s hand, right? He wishes to make her his Luna. If years of hostility evolves into a marriage, I don’t see any harm in that. But if you don’t agree to this arrangement, you’ll lose me forever,” she gave her
ultimatum.
“What do you mean?” Alpha Sawyer arched his brow.
“I’ll leave this pack with Adira and Kiara,” Luna Martha threatened, Sawyer’s and her daughters’ faces grew white. When Noah realized that his mother had threatened to leave him, he stopped wiggling.
“What exactly are you saying? You can’t leave me, Martha,” Sawyer murmured, but she ignored him.
“Sawyer, the choice is entirely yours. Let Kiara go with Alpha Xavier, “she advised. Alpha Sawyer, feeling defeated, cast a lethal gaze at Kiara and Xavier. There was no way he could lose Martha. She was obstinate, and if she said she would leave him that meant she would do it. Luna Martha waited for his refusal for a few moments. With a growl, he turned to the opposite direction. Kiara and Adira had never
seen their parents argue like this before. It was unexpected to witness Alpha Sawyer concede defeat to Luna Martha.
“Go pack your belongings,” Kiara heard her mother say. She was taken aback, it had actually worked.
“Mom,” Kiara moved closer to her mother, her face flushed with embarrassment.
· “If you don’t mind becoming Alpha Xavier’s Luna, then neither do I. I am pleased with your choice,” Luna Martha smiled. It was
preferable to be forced to witness her daughter being raped by the Sirius Bright Pack, according to Martha. Xavier had also accepted her
daughter as his Luna. Kiara wrapped her arms around her mother. She wished she could weep. Her mother had always supported her, but
Martha had no idea that Kiara had agreed to be a surrogate.
