Chapter 38 - Alpha's Surrogate

Kiara’s panting and heavy breathing resonated around the room. Her body was cold, bare, and vulnerable, yet she was wrapped in a familiar warmth. Both the wolf and human loved this warmth that touched their souls. She hissed as a muscular hand massaged and pinched her breast. She gasped as the heat intensified not just between her thighs but around her breast. Something wet and warm wrapped itself around her pink nipple, sucking her hard, and lightly nipping her. What kind of erotic and dirty dream she was experiencing? Why did it feel so real?

Kiara opened her eyes, unable to cope with this pleasurable dream that felt so real. She bit her lower lip only to discover that the big half-naked Alpha had positioned himself between her spread legs as he bent down to her breast, licking her nipples like they were his favorite candy.

"Ahh… Xavier… What are you doing?" Kiara moaned, her gaze drawn to his tongue laving and sucking her already scarlet and distended nipples, the repercutions of their previous night's intense sex. He had not been satisfied with just one round. She was permitted to sleep until he had his way with her at least three times, giving her a new appreciation for how much pleasure she could receive in one night. The young Luna had fallen asleep in her Alpha's arms, now she had been awoken by more pleasure from her mate.

“Testing,” Xavier lifted his face a bit to respond before taking her other nipple into his mouth while massaging both breasts with his hands at the same time.

“Testing? What?” Kiara inquired, perplexed, but felt one of his hands leave her breast, then move downward so that his fingers could sink into her hot pussy.“Oh… ” She moaned, arching her chest. She could still feel his cum inside her from last night.

“Your heat, are you sure you are not experiencing the heat again?” He asked, moving deep and slowly then quickly fingering her. She was already in the mood but she was on the brink of losing her mind again. Despite the fact that the mating had been effective, a she-wolf’s heat was unpredictable. After yesterday, Xavier was on high alert.

“Oh.. my Goddess. No… I am not in heat…” Kiara couldn't finish her sentence as he increased the pace of his fingers. As he moved down to capture her lips, she began to rock her hips to meet his fingers just as she creamed on his fingers, groaning loudly into his mouth. Xavier continued to finger her until she was totally done. The dirty sound of his fingers thrusting could still be heard in the room. He brushed her damp hair aside while kissing her on the forehead.

“Hmm… you are not in heat anymore,” Xavier drew his fingers out and sucked his cum-filled fingers off while observing Kiara's flushed cheeks. She closed her legs while she watched him devour her cream as if it were his favorite delicacy. Why had he done this first thing in the morning?

“Now you are allowed to leave this room,” Xavier declared, offering his hand to assist Kiara in sitting up in bed in front of him, but he had left his wife perplexed. Wait! Did this imply that he had been testing her heat and if she had still been in the grip of it, he would not have let her out? Her mind wandered to a nasty thought as well. What would he have done with her if she was locked in the same room as him all that time? Would he be able to fuck her anytime he wanted? Her dirty thoughts mingled with her excitement wafting up to Xavier's sensitive nose. “Hmm, do you want more?” Xavier read her face, quickly drawing her closer to him, allowing her hips to rest on his lap and letting her feel his aroused beast. Kiara felt his erect cock prodding at her still sore pussy. Did he still have energy to do it? He would not stop with one round, right? If they did it again, she was done.

“No!” she replied, pushing him away. Xavier watched his little she-wolf jumping out of the bed, then ran into the bathroom before he could catch her. He tried to follow her but it was already too late. The door was slammed closed in his face as she locked herself in.

“Kiara, Open the door!” Xavier hammered on the door, but all he could hear was her giggling. He clenched his teeth and looked down at himself. Fuck! Even though she knew his cock was hard, she had fled, leaving her mate's poor throbbing member all alone. He waited for her to come out so that he could catch and fuck her, but when he heard the sound of the shower he kicked the door hard. The young she-wolf would pay twice as much for her naughtiness.

***

Kiara dashed down the stairs, as she was once again late for breakfast. Why does this continue to happen? It was humiliating. But this time it seemed like she had defied all the limits of laziness as it was already 11 a.m.

Xavier had switched off her alarm today, so she hadn't woken up on time. She wondered why he did it all the time. He never woke her up and always turned off her alarm. But thanks to his bedroom play, she had been woken up and was now coming down the stairs. Only to be greeted by a familiar voice. Who was there? Instead of entering the dining area, she chose to sneak a peek inside. Xavier was missing. He had simply vanished into thin air when she had exited the bathroom.

Kiara cast her gaze about, spotting the Beta and Gamma couples seated in their designed spots, as well as Stephen. He came to visit again. Instead of his usual disgruntled countenance, he had a broad smile plastered on his face. Who was he beaming at? Kiara noticed Adira seated alongside Zander after following the old wolf gaze. Adira?

"I'm delighted you finally introduced your mate to our pack. It's no surprise that my second granddaughter-in-mate is gorgeous!" The Grandfather's smile extended all the way to his ears. He could now tell the other elders about Zander's mate with pride. They had irritated him for quite some time. His second granddaughter-in-mate had also turned out to be an enemy's daughter, which was a huge victory. The old wolf grinned in his mind. Kaira, on the other hand, had her mouth wide open in amazement.

"Adira and Zander are mates?" she murmured.

"Yes, they are," Xavier whispered into her from behind as he placed his palm over her mouth before she could make a noise that would call everyone's attention to them. He shifted her gaze to his side, his arm resting on her hip. Kiara's bewildered eyes hadn’t missed the fact that he had already bathed and dressed.

"But Adira doesn't want a mate," Kiara's eyes were filled with concern. She thought she had saved her sister from Noah and the Ardara Moon Pack, but Adira ended up landing in Zander's lap instead. Kiara was fully aware that Zander was just as much of a psycho and a jerk as his older brother. Her anxious gaze bothered his green eyes, Xavier's palms instinctively moved up to her cheeks.

"Don't worry. Kiara. Zander is not a bad man. Everyone loves him, and Adira will soon accept him as well. I'm not simply saying this because they're soulmates. My brother is not the kind to casually touch a woman or allow her to sit beside him merely to pass the time. He is sincere and genuinely cares about your sister. Watch them together if you don't believe me," Xavier motioned with his hand, pointing to Zander's hand, which had been holding Adira's under the table.

Stephen was ecstatic about meeting his new granddaughter-in-mate. He was asking questions about their marriage, mating and marking, highlighting aspects that had made Adira panic. Marriage, engagement, mating, and marking? Adira's throat had gone dry as she held Zander's hand tightly, even though she was unaware of it. Zander's gaze was already riveted on his woman, he sensed her distress. He had anticipated that she would be stuck in the past. She was enveloped in darkness and was terrified to step out.

"We are not getting married or marking each other, Grandpa," Zander announced, stunning everyone but earning the gaze of his gorgeous mate, who now looked up to him.

"What?" Stephen questioned, his face red with frustration and anger. This brat had finally met his soulmate, yet he had no intention of marrying and marking?

"Yes, we will not marry until Adira loves me. We've just met, and I acted like a jerk during our first encounter. I want to give her as much time as she needs to fully accept me. So I'll just wait for her to say yes without any pressure," Zander explained calmly to his Grandfather, but Adira's heartbeat was racing too rapidly with his words. He had really been planning to give her time. He had said that in front of his grandfather and others. He would not force her...

Stephen stared between Zander and Adira then shook his head, perplexed. He had never heard of such a thing. Normally, a werewolf would mate and mark his soulmate right away, but his grandson was talking about repressing his sexual urges and desires for his woman's approval. Stephen had never seen Zander so serious before.

"What will happen if she does not agree?" Stephen inquired, realizing that everything between his grandson and his new granddaughter-in-mate was out of the ordinary. She wasn't as quiet as she appeared to be, but she hadn't raised her voice since she respected Stephen and let Zander speak. Obviously, he wasn't there to push them to be together, but he was concerned about his grandson, who was only moving in the direction of getting his shattered heart.

Adira could feel Zander's hand grasping hers a bit, as well as his heartbeat, which had become unusually rapid when he heard Stephen. What would he do if she did not accept him in the end? Would he force her? Then she caught him returning her gaze before responding.

"Then I will let her go," Zander said, stunning everyone in the dining room. How could he talk about going through the pain of rejection? Zander smiled at Adira's shocked expression and kissed both of her hands.

"Yes, I will let you go and accept your rejection as well, but just give me a chance, Adira. If I can't win your heart in a year, I'll accept defeat. Give me a year to fall in love with you. Give me a year to love you. Please?" Zander asked, tentatively grasping her hands. Adira's heart was entirely caught in his words and his gorgeous green eyes, which were full of honesty and warmth. She had never expected to hear all of this from a man in her life. He had not revealed any of her past or her inability to give birth to anyone. He only desired a chance to be with her. He just cared about her. She kept staring at him until Evan crumbled under the sting of indirect rejection. Isha also kept looking at him speechless. Everyone's breath had become trapped in their lungs until they saw the Adira give a small nod to Zander.

Stephen, along with everyone else, finally let go of the breath they had been holding. When Zander watched Adira dropping her eyes quickly to cover the blush that had spread across her cheeks, his lips curled into a faint smile. Adira was very embarrassed. Why was she blushing when she looked at him? No male had ever made her blush. And why won’t he let go of her hand?

Hiding behind the wall Xavier and Kiara observed their siblings creating their own history together, despite the fact that it was only the first stage in their relationship. Xavier stated, looking between his brother and sister-in-mate.

"I can tell Adira also…"

"Believes him," Kiara interrupted Xavier's words, but finished them with a smile while observing Zander and Adira's hands that were laced together. It was the first time she had witnessed her sister allowing a man to touch her and not freak out about it. Adira trusted her mate despite the fact that she had not begun to realize it.

"Yes, she trusts him," Xavier remarked while staring at Kiara's pleasant smile, which he received since she got to see that her sister was safe. When Kiara heard the softness of Xavier's voice, she couldn't help but turn her gaze to explore the unknown emotions in his soft eyes. Why did he constantly keep those eyes on her? What was it that he could not speak but his eyes could not hide?

A sudden whistle and cheering resonated in the dining area as Xavier and Kiara's gazes tore apart. Kaiden and Tyler began to poke and comment about Zander, oblivious to the fact that they were about to get their asses kicked. Adira, Jennifer, and Lena giggled as Zander beat up on Tyler and Kaiden. They quickly conceded defeat before their handsome faces could be injured. Kiara giggled too as she watched them.

Stephen chuckled as he observed the guys having a good time. He also noticed Adira, who was as pure and innocent as her sister. Stehen also thought Adira should be given more time. At the very least, she had been truthful with his grandson and not a traitor like Petra.

The old wolf suddenly observed something odd.

"Where are Alpha Xavier and Luna Kiara?" Everyone stopped laughing and conversing as they heard the question and realized they were all wondering the same thing.

"Oh, we should go in!" Kiara exclaimed softly, about to enter the dining area, when her hand was grabbed by Xavier, who began to make her run in the opposite direction.

"What are you doing?" She panicked as they ran out of the pack house at the same speed. Was someone chasing them?

"We are running away" Xavier stated, making Kiara giggle. Obviously, he was running away from the old man's lecture.

"But where are you taking me?" She was confused, staring at his big hand, which had been gripping hers strongly, as if he wouldn't ever let go. Xavier gave her a devilish smirk as he peered back over his shoulder. Kiara's heart skipped a beat when she saw this side of Xavier, it always did something to her heart. She forgot all her thoughts and raced into the dense forest, holding his hands. Until he let go of her hand and they ran next to each other, enjoying the greenery.

They arrived in the middle of the woods, pausing to catch their breath. Kiara grinned as she threw herself into the freedom of the forest that her mate had taken her to. She stretched her legs and raised her head to peer up at the sky. There was no one who would stop her or pass judgment on her. She was free to do anything she wanted. She closed her eyes and took a deep heavy breath until she realized Xavier wasn't beside her.

“Xavier,” Kiara called out to him while searching around, but he was nowhere. His smell had faded away suddenly. “Xavier,” she screamed at the top of her lungs. That's when Kiara's ears picked up on a sound that widened her eyes and caused her to return her gaze to the ground. “Cat?” Kiara gasped as she spotted her white kitty running towards her. She immediately fell to her knees as her cat jumped on her. “Cat,” Kiara held her tightly while staring at her disbelief. Her fur appeared to be white and pristine. She smelt wonderful, as if someone had given her a bath and taken her to the vet. “You are my cat, right?” Kiara asked, her eyes watering at the thought of seeing her again. She was the only one that knew how difficult it was for her to abandon her and forget her innocent baby. Her cat spoke to her while licking her cheeks. It was her Ardara Moon Pack cat! She felt certain it was hers. “You are mine,” Kiara burst into her tears, kissing her furry little head many times. That's when she noticed a pair of shoes approaching her then coming to a halt in front of her. The weather began to change. Kiara lifted her teary eyes to find Xavier. It thundered as a storm flared up, frightening the cat, but Kiara kept her gaze fixed on Xavier.

"If I knew you'd cry from seeing her, I would have reconsidered my decision," he extended his hand to her as he helped Kiara to her feet. Her one hand was clutching her kitten, while the other was clutching Xavier's. Did he go to the Ardara Moon Pack to bring her kitty back for her?

“Why?” She asked, feeling the rain fall on them, but neither of them looked away. Hearing her question and seeing her tears, Xavier only blinked. Another lightning strike forced the cat to climb on her. Kiara attempted to hide the cat in her chest, but she was just wearing a sleeveless top.

“Come here,” Xavier grasped her hand once again as they dashed to a nearby tree for shelter. Kiara glued her body to the tree, while Xavier wrapped his jacket around the cat. The cat glanced at the two of them since she was sandwiched between her true owner and the newcomer who was only interested in her mistress.

"Why did you bring me my cat?" Kiara inquired once again, wanting to learn more about her mate, whom she could not love or keep him no matter how much she wanted to.

“I don't know,” Xavier responded, brushing away her tears. Her affection for cats was something he'd never understand, but he despised her tears.

"Then I'll wait for the day when you have an answer for me," Kiara smiled as she rubbed her cheek against his hand, making his heart race. Xavier cautiously drew his palm away from her smooth cheek, looking away from her smile.

"Why do you call her that now?" he murmured, clearing his throat slightly, looking everywhere except at her.

"I still don't know what to call her. Why don't you give her a name?" Kiara wondered. Xavier returned her gaze. His cold green eyes shifted to the cat, then back to Kiara.

“Meow,” he named the white kitty, which sounded like a whisper. Kiara blinked her stunned eyes for a few seconds before smiling. To see her, Xavier's lips curled into a smile as well. The cat leaped out of her arms, climbing up the tree, causing Xavier's body to brush against Kiara. She noticed him leaning close to her lips.

"Meow will see us," Kiara whispered as she felt his passionate lips on hers.

"Then let her see how an Alpha kisses his Luna."
