Alpha’s Surrogate by POOJA

Chapter 57

57. Unexpected guest
“Yes, you had to come since I’ve called you countless times. Did you forget about my twins?” Stephen sighed while rolling his eyes.
“Never! How could I forget my precious nephews. They are also mine, Stephen. My Alpha Princes,” the King Renard declared, giving narrow eyes to his younger twin brother.
“Yeah… yeah… the great King Renard doesn’t have time for his family,” the old wolf countered. brushing off his older brother’s statement, taking it as a flimsy excuse.
The level of silence that spread throughout the garden had created a peculiar sense of perplexity and astonishment. Had they understood correctly? Xavier and Zander were the Alpha Princes?! Had elder Stephen actually dared to roll his eyes at the Alpha King? The majority of the guests who had bowed their heads and knelt before the royal family and the King had no idea that Renard and Stephen were brothers nevermind twins. The time difference between the births of the Alpha brothers had only been a few
minutes.
Everyone got to see what the Alpha King looked like today due to the fact that the solution to someone’s problem had reached the King through his warriors. First it had gone through his Gamma, then his Beta Low ranking individuals, tiny packs, and the general public never had the opportunity to meet or see the King
That being said, only a few the strong and wealthy packs ever had an audience the king. The truth of this was only known to a few key individuals, packs, and Sirius Bright Pack members. Furthermore, both of the brothers agreed to never divulge their connection to anybody unless absolutely essential. This made it possible for Stephen and Renard to investigate people and catch them red handed.
When their great father, the former King, was still alive, he had declared that Stephen and Renard the Alpha kings. However, the younger brother had always thought that there should be only one King, so he voluntarily abdicated from the throne choosing to remain in the Sirius Bright Pack while Renard remained in the castle. Both brothers were happy and busy with their own lives, while they could see each other a few times over the year, it just deepened their bond and affection for one another.
“Uncle!!” Iris jumped on Renard, the Alpha King, for a tight hug. She’d gone back to the pack house to fix her makeup, completely unaware of her great uncle’s unexpected visit.
“Oh my little princess. Where were you? I have been missing you,” The King returned her hug and kissed her cheeks. He had last seen her when she was 18 when she had come to reside at his castle for a month.
“I had no clue you were going to come to the wedding, uncle. Last time you skipped Xavier’s wedding,” she drew back while complaining, but she still held his hand.
“Yes well, your uncle was very busy,” her Grandpa agreed cooly from behind, earning narrowed eyes from his twin.
“I had previously confirmed that I had been out meeting and hunting for months so I couldn’t attend Xavier’s wedding,”Renard explained coldly, looking for Stephen before smiling at his niece and nephews.
“Come here boys. This old man needs to hug all of you,” while his one arm was cuddling his niece, uncle expanded his other one arm to include the boys in his embrace.
“Uncle, thank you for coming. But you missed my ceremony, “Zander chuckled, drawing himself back.
“It does appear that I am a bit late, but I will be angry if I did not receive any cake!” Renard made a sarcastic remark while growling. His entire family burst out laughing.
“You did not drink without me, right?” The King asked his twin. “I have been waiting for you. Let’s go have some cake and some drinks,” the old wolf suggested to his
older brother.
“Yes, but first I’d like to see my new nieces-in-mate first. What has happened to them?” Renard looked around, perplexed. He was certain that two very gorgeous ladies had stood by his great nephews, but their heads had been lowered so that he hadn’t been able to see their faces.
Xavier and Zander moved their large bodies away from Kiara and Adira, allowing the King to see them. They had stepped back when their mates had been enjoying a family hug. The Alpha’s large long arms drew their mates to them before introducing them to the Alpha King.
“Uncle, This is Adira. My mate,”
“This is Kiara. My mate,” Both of the twins smiled as they introduced their mates, but Renard had an unusual expression on his
face.
“We are glad to meet you, my king,” the alpha sisters said together with a small smile and a respectful bow. The two she-wolves were worried, despite the fact that the King was a pleasant and polite man when with his family members that didn’t necessarily mean that pleasant behavior would extend to them.
Just as Kiara had no idea that Xavier had a twin brother, the same could now be said about Stephen having an older twin brother who was identical to him. Their voices, hair, and appearance were so similar that no one could distinguish which was the older brother and who was the younger. They were photocopies to each other like Xavier and Zander.
The Alpha King was similarly tall and handsome like Stephen. Everyone in the Alpha family seemed to have inherited the same stunning green eyes and deadly aura that would make anybody surrender in their presence. When the girls did not receive the King’s expected tenderness and kind words, they lifted their heads and looked him in the eye. His big green eyes had been fixed on Kiara and Adira for a long time,
but he had forgotten his words. Why was he staring at them like he would attack them with his eyes?
“What’s wrong Ren? My granddaughters-in-mate are beautiful, aren’t they?” Stephen asked
proudly.
“Yes, they have Goddess-like beauty,” the other man said, smiling. Both young women returned the mens’ smiles, but there was something odd in the Alpha King’s eyes when he took a step closer to them to scrutinize their features attentively.
“What are your names again?” The King asked. “Kiara and Adira,” they answered, noticing a frown in his eyes. “Sisters?” He threw another question at them that sounded like an inquiry.
“Yes,” Kiara replied immediately, her gaze drawn to Xavier. What had piqued the King’s interest in them? He didn’t seem to like them, she thought. The older Alpha was perplexed by his uncle’s
behavior.
“Where are you two from? Who are your parents?” Renard inquired once again. Instead of questioning the pack’s name, he wondered as to where they were from. When the King began emitting a strange and enigmatic aura while questioning them, the Alpha sisters were concerned. Due to the fact that he was the
King of the werewolves, he had an immediate effect on Isha and Venus. But they put on a confident

expression front in front of him.
“Is everything alright uncle?” The Alpha twins returned to their females quickly drawing them into their sides. The garden was full of guests who were observing this unexpected and uncomfortable scene in which the Lunas of the pack were being interrogated like they were common criminals.
Observing his nephews’ overprotectiveness, the King burst out laughing and shook his head.
“I’m only trying to get to know my nieces-in-mate. That’s all. Now, both of you brats, get out of here and tell me how wonderful the Lunas are.”
Kiara blinked, suddenly comprehending that the Alpha King was also trying to put them to the test, like Stephen had done previously. If they panicked or became terrified, they would fail the test and lose face in front of their uncle.
“We are from the Ardara Moon Pack,” Adira said.
“We are the daughters of Alpha Sawyer and Luna Martha,” Kiara stated. They exchanged a friendly smile with Renard. Obviously, there was some concern in their hearts since the hatred between the two packs was likely to generate bitterness in the Alpha King’s as a result of the rape and death of the blind girl that was part of the Alpha’s family. But, unexpectedly, the King turned out to be just as cool as Stephen.
“Great to hear. Congratulations on the weddings and pregnancy.” The King surprised the Alpha sisters with a kind and loving smiling. How quick his attitude changed!
“If you’re finished with the interrogation, Ren, let’s go have some drinks,” Stephen proposed.
“Yeah, sure. Lunas first,” the King suggested, gesturing to his nieces-in-mate to walk first with their mates. The old wolf noticed that his twins’ eyes were still on both of the sisters.
The dining table where all their friends had for dinner was now crowded with relatives as well. The
King and Stephen had been sitting beside each other and had already started drinking. The King had brought many guests with him, leading to another dinner table being set up a bit further away for them. But everyone could still talk to each other.
Xavier, who had taken a seat next to Kiara, had been observing Renard’s Beta, Gamma and guest’st
attitude.
“Don’t you find it strange.” Zander mind-linked his twin.
Xavier
“Yes, there is something unusual going on. Uncle Renard’s visit does not appear to be natural, responded, returning the glass of wine to the table.
They maintained a vigilant eye on the King’s people, who happened to be the council! Why would the council attend a wedding? Their arrival was always a terrible omen! Didn’t they have more important things to do than attend an Alpha Prince’s wedding?
The Alpha twins had irritated the majority of the council’s elders for a variety of reasons.
“I had no idea you were an Alpha Prince,” Kiara murmured as she sipped her water.
“It wasn’t significant since I don’t like the title. It distinguishes me, and many over reacts when they learn about my reality and relationship with the King. Not to mention how much I despise that title,” the Alpha responded sluggishly.
“You hate the title or you don’t like to be pressured,” Renard snapped out of nowhere, drawing everyone’s attention. He had heard every word that Xavier had said. Kiara became aware of a sense of tension in the air. The Beta and Gamma couples maintained a solemn demeanor at all times. What were
they going on about?
“Please, Uncle, put this matter aside. We don’t want to take over your position,” Zander interrupted as he knew soon his great uncle was bound to snap at him. If this were any other time he would have walked away but right now he was going to be on the offensive.
“I agree. As I already stated, I am satisfied being the Alpha of this pack and have no ambition to become the Alpha King. That seat was designed specifically for you the older twin, stated. Zander nodded immediately in agreement.
“And how much longer do you plan for this old man to rule? I’m going to die one day. What will happen then? Both of you must take up my position as soon as possible!” The King remarked sternly as Stephen nodded along in agreement.
“Then give it to Grandpa Stephen,” Zander countered, picking up a slice of cake. “This is not the time to joke around, kid!” Stephen glared at him.
“What about Jaspen?” Xavier suggested, looking at his younger brother.
“Yes, I was thinking about him as well. He is Uncle Mason’s oldest son. He’d be the best…” Before Zander could continue, the old wolf slammed his fist down on the table, displaying his razor-sharp fangs to both of his nephews.
“My alcoholic, gambler, and slacker grandson would end up selling my entire kingdom for a bottle of
wine. A man who does not know when the sun rises and when it sets will never be a leader. I don’t want someone that is stupid, selfish, corrupt, or reckless on the throne! I’m just interested in the two of you, and that’s it!” The King claimed while glaring between them both.
“There will be no more arguments. I am, once again, prepared to give you both some time. I would like to have a yes in response before our next family gathering,” Renard announced before Xavier or Zander had a chance to.
“Ah, this old man. He nags us all the time!” The younger Alpha mumbled. “How can you refer to the King as an old man? He will be offended if he hears you, “Adira hushed her
mate.
“He already heard me,” Zander responded, alarming his bride, who realized that the king had been hurling daggers at his nephew’s side. Had he actually heard what he had said? The young Luna instantly gave him an apologetic smile on behalf of her mate, that his uncle returned immediately but he still had a
sour expression for his disobedient nephew.
“I understand that the king’s grandson is useless, but what about the rest of his sons and grandsons?” Adira was perplexed.
“Unfortunately, uncle’s only son and daughter-in-law, as well as their 12-year-old son, were involved in an accident ten years ago. The plane crashed. No one survived, my uncle lost them all. Only Jepsen remains, but he is unsuited for the role Yet none of us want to steal something that legitimately belongs to someone else. We are Grandpa Stephen’s grandchildren, therefore as long as Jepsen is alive, we do not see the need to inherit the throne,” Zander explained quietly this time. The matter was sensitive.
Kiara noticed her Alpha sipping wine again, as if he hadn’t heard his uncle.
“You have gotten your last warning,” she whispered again. She found the drama to be both interesting and surprising. That’s when her man gave her a devilish grin. f**k! He looked so attractive when he did
that!
“For the past two years, the old man has given us his final warning at every family gathering. It’s fairly common. I’m curious to learn who is paying attention. Clearly not me,” Xavier explained with a defiant grin as he lightly pecked Kiara’s cheek.
“I wonder why you don’t want to become King? It sounds good and if it were anyone else they would immediately cease this opportunity,” the young woman wondered, putting a cherry in her mouth. Her stomach was already full but the cherries tasted good.
“If you become my Queen then I will think about it,” Xavier whispered into her ear, turning Kiara’s ears red in excitement. His hot breath was so seductive! She turned her face to his side so their lips were only a few inches apart from each other.
“I am glad to learn of my new identity as Alpha Princess. I will think about becoming your Queen later, “she murmured back, moving closer to his lips like she was about to kiss him but stopped.
“I wonder when you will have the chance to think?” The Alpha asked, trying to capture those rosy red
lips.
“Tonight. In our bed,” she said. Xavier received a light kiss on his lips before Kiara returned to her cherries with a giggle. f**k! She captivated him, making him hard in the constraints of his pants then looked away!
The Alpha King’s gaze was flickering between the Alpha couples as everyone chatted, laughed, and joked with each other. His gaze was drawn to the sisters, who appeared to be very in love with their
men.
“What’s the matter, Ren?” Why are you staring at the girls all the time? You’re acting oddly too,” Stephen inquired. For a long time, he had been watching his brother.
“Something is wrong,” the King replied heavily.
“Like what?” The old wolf asked in confusion.
“I’ve seen these girls before! I’m not sure where, but I know them! Are you certain these females are the Alpha’s daughters, as they claimed?” The older twin expressed his concern.
“As far as I know, yes they are,” When the younger brother answered, the King’s Beta came up and whispered something in his King’s ear that caused him to scowl. Before Renard could say anything, one of the King’s elders said
“We heard something about Luna Adira and Luna Kiara. I wonder if it is true,” The garden turned into a dead silence.
“What did you hear?” the Alpha twins snapped together, not linking the tone that the elder had
used.
“That the Luna Adira had gotten into an accident when she was young and now can’t give birth,” he said. Zander along with everyone else was stunned to hear his claim while Adira’s body turned ice
cold.
“I’m curious why you didn’t reject her straight away, instead you accept her as your Luna when you’re fully aware of it. If that is true, you’ll be dismissed from your position if you don’t marry another she-wolf for an heir,” another elder added.
“Is it true, Zander? Your mate can’t give birth?” The King questioned. Zander clenched his fist tightly. Stephen, who was in the dark, examined his grandson’s face. He had been strangely silent, which was not Zander’s style. Xavier who was also unaware of this thing, immediately felt his twin’s ferocity through their sibling bond. It was enough for the older Alpha to understand that the claims were true. Nevermind that he felt Kiara’s panic as well.
Kiara gazed at her sister, who was again lost in memories of the past of what she had gone through. The kidnapping, accident, hospitalization, and everything else. Those nightmares. The pain she had attempted to ignore, returned as soon as everyone’s questioning gaze fell on her.
