Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 31
31. Memories: I am with you...
Doing things at the last minute never ended well. It just made everything hectic and inconvenient! The young woman hated it, but
in the Sirius Bright Pack, she always anticipated that things would be done at the last minute. That was all she had right now.
Stephen had been downstairs waiting for her for a long time! Why had he come today? Kiara hastily applied a little lipstick and
slipped on her sandals, unconcerned about her makeup.
She needed to get down there as soon as possible before people started to refer to her as the lazy Luna. She had
been the definition of a sloth this morning, waking up at 9:00 a.m.! How had that happened? But why hadn’t her alarm gone off
like it normally did? Unless someone turned off the alert on her phone, it was impossible. Was it a conspiracy or had the phone
tricked her? Was it the Alpha? Or had it been something else? He had to be the one!
Due to her shoulder injury, the Doctor had ordered Kiara to rest as much as possible, which she had not followed, leading to her
being scolded by Xavier. But hadn’t she recovered? How could she spend the entire day doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and
ordering others?! But who could explain that to the powerful Alpha who needed to see her
wounds heal before his eyes? He was cautious about trusting what the Doctor had said. Especially after the disgrace of the
senior doctor, the pack physicians were at a loss these days. Yes, not everyone was like their superiors, but due to that
occurrence, no one dared meet the gaze of the Alpha.
When the young woman had been sighted on the training ground with Jennifer and Lena, she had been carried away in Alpha’s
arms back to his chamber. How could she possibly fight when she had been injured?! Alpha Zander, who regretted missing that
wonderful scene, had overheard some gossip claiming that it had been a Beauty and the Beast-style scenario! However, the
beauty had been blushing, while the Alpha beast appeared overly protective, snapping at those who were admiring the young
Luna’s long, silky legs, as she had been dressed in shorts. Again with the shorts! The Alpha needed to establish a dress code for
the training grounds!
Kiara sat on the bed in the room while Xavier crossed his arms over his chest, towering over her. When the grouchy Alpha had
scolded her, the young she-wolf looked like a little puppy. He had her eat in front of him, he had assisted her with some of the
arm exercises, and kept an eye on her to see whether she was getting enough rest. That was when he had been convinced that
she had been completely cured, but not before she had slept for an inordinate

amount of time.
Due to this child-like treatment, she had not wanted to sleep at night but then she had gotten that call from Adira and her whole
world had turned upside down. Her sister wanted to meet Kiara! !
Kiara was still haunted by the horrific incident last night, when Xavier had entered the room and she had been so panic that she
had dropped her phone on the floor. Fortunately, Tyler knocked on the door, and Xavier exited the room. She had no idea how
long he’d been there.
“What should I do now?” The young woman, who had been rushing through her morning ritual had little time to waste, came to a
halt and took a deep breath while staring at her reflection.
The young Luna was still shaken by last night’s incident, which had completely left her with a night bereft of sleep. She felt torn
between her desire to meet a member of her family and her feelings for Xavier. She wanted to visit her sister, no matter the
circumstances, so that she could get the truth about what had been going on in Adira’s life and the pack. She was well aware
that her sister was in serious peril. For them, the sisterly bond had always been quite strong. She could sense something was
wrong.
Of course, she was also bound by her responsibilities as Luna, the surrogacy contract, and the Ardara Moon Pack’s pact with
Xavier that Sawyer had signed. Everything was going to be destroyed if she made one wrong
move.
That’s when Kiara took a deep breath, smiled, and decided to forget about it for a little while, leaving the room at a fast walk. She
had squandered much too much time. How could she have forgotten, this was so last minute?!
That’s when she ran into something hard like a wall.
“I am sorry, Luna! Are you hurt?” The man apologized right away. Kiara growled, rubbing her forehead while looking up to find
the blue eyes of an attractive man who was her new bodyguard.
“I’m truly sorry, Luna.I had no idea that...”
“Don’t worry. It was entirely my fault. I am not hurt, so it’s all right,” When she saw his panicked and terrified expression, the
young woman laughed a bit. Had he anticipated he’d be punished?
“Should I bring some ice, Luna?” Lance said, still concerned.

“So the Alpha discovers and punishes you?” The young Luna lifted her eyebrows at her bodyguard, finally hinting to him that he
was about to make a mistake.
“Ice sounds like a horrible idea,” he smiled, nervously. Lance was quick to recall the Alpha’s bad temper and cold demeanor. He
could very well be punished for the blunder he had made with the Luna.
“Now you get it,” Kiara chuckled.
was
“Yeah,” he said, laughing with her. It was the first time that Kiara had noticed his dimples when he laughed. She had no idea that
Xavier would appoint her a personal bodyguard. The most interesting part was that the bodyguard was really handsome!
After lunch, Lance had come into her room to introduce himself. He stood outside her room and followed her around like a
hound. The man appeared to be older than she was, yet he was approximately the Alpha’s age. But this big dog didn’t have a
mate, his neck was unmarked.
“Can you tell me where you’re going, Luna?” He was all set to follow her.
“I’m going downstairs, but you don’t have to follow me,” Kiara advised with a little smile and an order that he
promptly obeyed.
“Then I’ll be here waiting for you, Luna. Please do not go anywhere without me,’ Lance returned the smile. This
guy gave off a truly friendly vibe.
Kiara entered the dining room swiftly, only to find it full with the Beta, Gamma couples, Stephen, and the twin Alphas. There was
a conversation that had been going on between Zander and his Grandfather but it had come to a halt as soon as she walked in.
“The Luna is here!!” Kiara’s eyes snapped when she heard Alpha Zander’s unexpectedly enthusiastic voice. What
had made him shout like that out of nowhere? He was acting as though he was seeing her for the first time. What was
his deal?
“Don’t mess with me, boy!” Stephen snarled at Alpha’s younger twin. His grandson was astute enough to use Kiara’s presence to
divert his Grandfather’s attention away from the conversation that had bored the hell out of him. It was a family meal, not a

formal one, so the elderly wolf was extremely active and pointed things out to his
grandsons one by one. Xavier’s ears were practically bleeding, but he had to put up with it until breakfast was
done.
“We’ve been waiting for you, Luna Kiara. You are perfectly alright, thanks to the Goddess. Please have a seat,”
Grandpa’s words and gestures had a honey-like sweetness to them as soon as he set his gaze on Kiara. How had his
attitude shifted so abruptly?! And look at that big smile on his face. Was that the same old wolf who had been snapping his teeth
to his grandsons before the arrival of the young Luna?
“Grandpa, what a lovely surprise,” Kiara remarked as she picked up a plate and continued her conversation with
Stephen. Should she not just sit? What was she doing?
“We’ve been missing you, Grandpa. Please keep visiting us on a regular basis,” Kiara smiled, beginning to serve the elderly man
who had been completely captivated by the young Luna’s manners and politeness. She placed a plate in front of him that looked
far more tasty. Kiara was startled when the twins’ gaze snapped at her for some reason. What exactly was she saying? Had she
invited the old wolf to come for breakfast every day so that he could
give them a lecture?! Before she and Stephen could continue talking someone needed to intervene.
“Kiara baby,” when the young woman heard an unfamiliar softness and polite tone with a tinge of affection from the green eyed
Alpha accompanied by a lovely smile on his lips, goosebumps broke out across her skin while the fine hair on her arms rose.
Her big chocolaty eyes were locked on his. What was the matter with him? Kiara instantly turned around to make sure he was
speaking to her. The Alpha had been addressing his young Luna.
“Come here and have a seat. You must be exhausted,” the Alpha stood up, drawing a chair for his Luna like a true
gentleman.Kiara took slow measured steps towards him, giving him a bewildered nod. Once she had taken her seat, she stared
at Jennifer and Lena, who had been completely enamored with their Alpha and Luna, but the young lady was still taken by
surprise. Why was he suddenly behaving opposite to his nature? This was exactly the type of behavior someone exhibits when a
goat is handled gently before being sacrificed.

Had his Grandpa become suspicious of something again? Was Xavier putting on a show for the elderly man? Her mind was still
trying to process everything when she felt Xavier’s large hand on her head.
“Grandpa is the most active and responsible member of our pack. So he can’t join us every day, Kiara. Please don’t put him in a
difficult situation, baby,” he elaborated with another handsome smile. Kiara’s heart rate increased as Xavier’s warm lips kissed
her soft cheek. She had immediately recognized his true goal of putting on an act. Why had this kiss appeared to be so genuine?
Regardless of how many kisses she had received from her husband, his touch always sent sparks all over her body, making her
hot and wild for him. A thick layer of blush took over her
cheeks.
How could she remain calm if his lips continued to take advantage of her? Nevermind his other hand that had slipped down to
her waist. The Alpha felt butterflies in his stomach as they grew in the young woman’s tummy as a result of the mate bond. As
soon as he elicited a response from Kiara, he felt the echo of it. He peered down at her
tightly clasped palm and her crimson cheeks were not something she could hide.
The Alpha cleared his throat then drew his greedy hands away from her head and waist, which had been stroking her without his
knowledge. What a knucklehead! They never seemed to pay attention to their owner!
“How lovely!” Stephen smiled contentedly. In his time-worn eyes, they were picture-perfect. He no longer needed to have
breakfast. When he saw the beautiful pair sitting across from him, his stomach filled with delight. The old man had been
concerned about his rejected grandson for the past two years, but Kiara’s arrival had given him hope. Now he could easily
predict what lay in store for his grandson’s future.
Kiara finally exhaled the breath that she had been holding due to her erratic heartbeat. It would be awkward if
someone found out that she had been that excited by a kiss. She could only smile at the twin’s Grandfather before turning her
attention to her breakfast.
“Hello everyone!” A woman’s enthusiastic voice echoed through the dining room, causing everyone to shift their gaze to the
doorway. The young she-wolf noticed that everyone’s lips had turned into a big smile. Kiara’s chocolatey eyes scanned the
woman’s slender yet exquisite 5.9 figure from head to toe. She had short brown hair and was dressed in fancy clothes. She’d
been wearing exposed garments that revealed her inner thighs and big breasts, leaving any that saw her wondering if she’d
been wearing a bra or not.

“Laila!” All the guys shouted together, but what astonished Kiara was that Xavier was one of them. Who was
she?
“Oh my god! You are here!” Zander rushed over to hug Laila first. Tyler and Kiaden followed suit. Who was she? Why were they
so overjoyed to see her? Among the four ranked males, she appeared to be a princess. Every one of them gave her a hug one
by one. The young she-wolf looked at her Beta and Gamma females, who were as delighted to see her as their mates. Everyone
went to see Laila one by one, save Kiara, who sat in her spot, observing them from
a safe distance. They appeared to be elated, maybe they were all friends.
“Xavier!” Laila’s eyes glowed. The only one who hadn’t hugged her was the older Alpha. When the short-haired woman
screamed Xavier’s name and jumped on him for a hug, her tone abruptly changed. Xavier caught her right away, as if he knew
what was about to happen. Kiara was taken aback by their close proximity. How could she have jumped on him? She’d wrapped
her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck like a snake. The young woman looked at the other people who were
smiling, as if this were a normal occurrence, but the young she-wolf felt uncomfortable. Why did she act as though they were
long-lost lovers?!
“Welcome back, Laila,” Xavier chuckled and hugged her again, but seeing the joy on Alpha’s face made Kiara’s blood boil. He’d
never given her such a big smile before! This man only showed her his cold side. Why had he been holding her for so long?! She
had long, perfect legs that allowed her to stand on her own!
“I missed you, all of you!” Kiara rolled her eyes in frustration when Laila stated that. If she missed everyone, why had she simply
leapt on him like a dog?! Zander was over there as well. Why not hug him in the same way? What a
fake!
“We missed you too...” Xavier grinned but couldn’t complete his sentence before Laila’s lips pressed against Alpha’s cheek for a
kiss.
“I know...” She gave him a sexy glance before moving away and staring into his eyes. Xavier quickly let go of her body since the
kiss had been unexpected. Dean growled violently in his mind. The Alpha slowly turned his head to observe the young woman
who appeared to be at ease. Had it only been him who was affected? Then everything was okay. Kiara dug her nails into her
palm to keep Venus from beheading the short-haired woman. Had she actually dared to kiss her mate right in front of her? Xavier
had moved away from her waist, but her hands remained wrapped around his neck.

“Why don’t you leave Xavier and go meet his mate and Luna?” Stephen cut in with a sour smile. He was the only one who hadn’t
gotten out of his chair to greet her.
“Luna Kiara, Laila is Xavier’s father’s Beta’s daughter. Her family moved to another pack last year. She will only be visiting us for
the day.” The old wolf introduced them while pointing out how long the new guest would be with them. Then he grinned at the
stunned woman, whose mouth was practically hanging open.
“What? Xavier’s mate?!” Laila forgot to bow to the elder Stephen as her eyes snapped at the beautiful young woman who had
been standing near him at the dining table. Xavier gotten himself such a beautiful mate that the short-haired woman had
immediately become insecure.
“No! Xavier, you got married?!” Laila’s eyes grew larger as she looked Kiara up and down. How could a woman younger than her
be so stunning in such simple clothes? Kiara forced a smile onto her face when the other woman took a step closer to her. Kiara
hated her grey eyes, had she been looking down at her because she had not been wearing makeup like her?!
“I wonder why you are so surprised?” Kiara finally opened her mouth with another forced smile.
“Well, Xavier never mentioned you to me. I can see why, because he hasn’t pursued the marriage and mate issue. He doesn’t
value them. If he wanted to marry, I am a better choice,” Laila chuckled, giving the young lady a look that clearly stated that Kiara
was beneath her. Everyone in the room frowned when they heard her, but the young Luna
remained as calm as water. Jennifer and Lena had not expected this kind of comment from Laila. Stephen stared at
an angry Xavier, who had already opened his mouth to say something, but Kiara laughed first. Alpha’s gaze was drawn instantly
to his Luna. What had made her laugh? Shouldn’t she be offended?
“The people we value know about our marriage, Laila, so I don’t take the opinions of strangers to heart. I recommend that you
never say anything like this to another woman again though. With that tone of yours, you sound
like a husband snatcher.” Laila was offended by the young woman’s remark, which she had stated with a smile. Everyone was
stunned to hear Kiara before the twins’ Grandpa burst into a fit of laughter, rubbing salt into her wound. Not to mention Zander,
who chuckled as he took his seat enjoying the show.
Tyler and Kaiden had taken her statement as a joke. Jennifer and Lena, on the other hand, were laughing with their mates.
Xavier’s lips curled into a small smile when he noticed Kiara’s posture and expression in front of his b***h of friend, who had
expected Kiara to be timid due to her innocent face.

“I am not a husband snatcher...” Laila defeated herself, not daring to raise her voice to the young Luna. She looked back at
Xavier for support, as it had been his mate who had insulted her, but she was ignored by the Alpha. It was not the Alpha’s style
to speak amongst arguing women unless it was absolutely required. Kiara smiled warmly as
she moved closer to Xavier. The Alpha looked over at his female, who was standing alongside him and holding his arm. Dean
grinned with delight as Xavier’s gaze fell on Kiara, who asserted her power over her Alpha for the first time. f**k! She looked so
tasty with this different attitude! The Alpha wanted to take her right there.
“Sounds good, Laila. I hope you will find your mate soon so that you will stop jumping on other people’s mates,” Kiara suggested
with a smile.
“Thank you for your advice, Luna,” Laila smiled, holding her true feelings. Even though she was no longer a member of the Sirius
Bright Pack, she couldn’t bring herself to disrespect Xavier’s mate. Kiara quickly returned her smile, turning her head to face
Xavier. Laila stared at the lovely pair, who were gazing at each other. Without even realizing it, the Alpha’s feet began to follow
Kiara as she guided him back to his seat.
“Let’s eat everyone,” Kiara suggested, without glancing at the short-haired she-wolf. Xavier’s wide green eyes remained fixed on
his Luna, who instantly began to prepare his plate.
“Laila, please have a seat. You must be hungry,” Zander gestured. The short-haired lady shot poisonous daggers at Kiara before
ultimately smiling at everyone.
“Yes, I’m hungry, but all of you boys have to promise me that you’ll spend time with me today. I only have one day to spend with
you,” she giggled as she sat beside Xavier and poked his sides. The Alpha shifted his gaz
from Kiara to Layla. She was one of the few ladies whose presence had never made him feel disgusted since she had been one
of his childhood friends.
“Yeah sure, I promise, but after I finish my work,” Xavier chuckled.
“Then I’ll annoy you until you join me,” she winked at him with a flirtatious grin. Kiara had been watching their interaction out of
the corner of her eye in her giggling, white teeth. There were many unoccupied seats, but she had selected the one next to her
husband. Had it been a coincidence?
“So, where was I interrupted?” The elderly wolf turned to face his other grandson, who had already finished his meal and was
getting ready to leave. So that was why he hadn’t opened his mouth for the first time to comment on his brother.

“It’s been ages so I don’t remember,” Zander responded sluggishly.
“If I’m not mistaken, you were discussing Alpha Zander’s chosen mate,” Beta Kaiden promptly reminded the elder.
“What a wonderful Beta I’ve got,” Kaiden received a tight-lipped smile from Zander, an oblique indication that he would
undoubtedly get a beating following the old wolf’s departure.
“Thank you for your kind words, Alpha,” Kaiden returned the smile. It was time to retaliate against Zander, who
had revealed Kaiden’s school-time crush to Jennifer. Unfortunately, that woman turned out to be one of the pack’s most recent
additions. When that female warrior had winked at Kaiden, the pregnant Beta female had been quick to notice her flirting and
slapped her across the face. How dare that b***h flirt with her mate? If Kaiden hadn’t dragged his mate back to the pack house,
she would have scratched the female warrior’s eyes out.
Kaiden instantly tried to clear the air, cleverly concealing the fact that she had been his high school crush as well as his first sex
partner. Jennifer had approached the twin Alphas to figure out Kiaden’s past with that woman. Zander was ecstatic to tell all of
his schooltime tales to his Beta female, but it had been Xavier’s nod at the conclusion of each one that had added fuel to
Jennifer’s jealousy.
Kaiden had been able to reconcile with Jennifer when his high school crush had been sent to another pack. Xavier assumed
responsibility for his comrade and dispatched the female to his Uncle’s pack. Both Alphas had no idea how badly things would
turn out between their Beta couple, but now everything was fine.
“So, which of the women did you like?” Their grandfather inquired, pointing to the photos that had been laid out in front of the
Alpha, who had been lazily staring at all of the beauties. Everyone was a respectable Alpha’s daughter.
“Who is she?” Zander inquired, pointing to the first photograph. Stephen’s eyes shone with optimism. Finally, his
grandson expressed interest in a woman. She might be his second-daughter-law.
“That is Danica...” Tyler said.
“She is beautiful, yet she looks timid. I’m curious as to why she was blushing at the photographer?” Zander commented.
Stephen’s eyes practically popped out of his skull. She had been blushing in front of the photographer? What exactly was he
saying? The woman’s photograph flew away in an instant, falling in the corner of the dining
room.

“Her?”
“Sonia”
“What’s the matter with her lips? Her face appears to have undergone extensive plastic surgery. And why is she staring at me as
if she’s about to leap out of the picture and eat me?” The photo of that woman ended up alongside the first one due to another
remark.
“And this one....” Zander asked but spoke up before Tyler could tell the woman’s name.
“What do you think, Xavier? I need to consider my brother’s comments and opinions!” When Zander spoke to his older brother,
he had an honest expression on his face.
“She will undoubtedly make you a laughingstock with her fashion sense and the amount of cosmetics she has applied to her
face. But in the end, it is your decision, brother,” Xavier said truthfully, prompting Zander to nod before
tossing the photo onto the pile with the others.
“Then the decision is made. None of them appeal to me,” Zander stated as he stretched his arms over his head. The young Luna
spotted Grandfather’s furious crimson eyes that had been glancing between his grandsons as the Beta and Gamma couples bit
their lips to suppress their laughter.
“You brats!!!” The old wolf couldn’t take it any longer and yelled at his grandsons for putting on the show for him. When had
Zander started making up useless excuses for Xavier? And when had the older brother begun giving his younger sibling advice?
The older brother was well aware of his younger brother’s true aim to reject every lady he was offered, therefore he had been
intelligently assisting him. They had been collaborating. How dare they mislead
their Grandpa!
“You rejected all of the females in an instant. Do you realize how tough it was for me to find women that are well-educated,
gorgeous, and are from affluent families?” Stephen sought a response. He was in a pickle right now, since the other elders had
been interrogating him about Zander’s mate. No one saw his enthusiasm for finding his
mate. The most significant thing was that he never addressed her. Whenever the other elders sought out Xavier to pressure his
brother for a mate, the Alpha constantly refused the elders. The old wolf had been concerned about his older grandson earlier,

who had never sought a woman in his life, but Zander had been the one giving him a headache now. He was always turning
down she-wolves who wanted to marry him. Xavier was also of little to no assistance to Stephen. He only supported his brother.
“Because those ladies have no chance of becoming my mate. They are unattractive, ignorant, and greedy gold diggers,” Zander
responded.
“So, my son, what type of female do you want?” Grandpa inquired sweetly, unable to conceal his annoyance. The Alpha paused
for a minute before responding to Grandfather. Zander appeared to be deep in thought.
“A woman with a beautiful honey-like voice,” Zander began to describe. “I can feel her attractiveness even if I haven’t seen her
face.”
“A lady with a big mouth and a strong personality,”
“I desire a woman I’ll never forget...”
As he listened to his brother, Xavier’s hand came to a halt over his spoon. As usual, both of the twins’ minds and hearts were
constantly drawn to the same thing. Alpha’s gaze was drawn to his Luna, who was the precise lady he had desired as a mate,
but he had been met with betrayal.
Kiara’s face was slightly hidden by her silky brown hair that she had been trying to tuck behind her ears while putting a forkful of
eggs in her little mouth. Xavier’s hand trembled a little as he noticed her every movement. The manner in which she picked up
and held her fork. The way she blinked her eyes and wiped her pink lips with the napkin immediately after taking a bite of food.
From time to time, she always smiled at the others at the table, she also kept filling her husband’s plate with food. Even though
she had only been there for a few days, she had the exact knowledge of how much Xavier usually ate. Kiara had all the qualities
that a man needed in a mate. The young she-wolf had absolutely no idea what she had been doing to the Alpha’s heart.
A sweet honey-like voice, goddess-like beauty, a big mouth that she always opened when appropriate, and the most essential
part was that the Alpha had to remind himself that she was just a surrogate for him. Xavier’s heartbeat accelerated unexpectedly,
his arousal began to build, causing Kiara to gaze at him with such innocence that the Alpha’s heart skipped a beat. Why was he
aroused?
“What’s wrong?” The young woman asked as his finger touched her lips softly. He licked his own lips while leaning down to
capture those rosy lips.
“You...”

“AAHHH!” When a she-wolf’s s****m resonated in the pack house, Kiara, Xavier, and everyone else rushed inside the kitchen,
only to see an Omega on the floor.
“What happened to her?” Kiara ran over to comfort the woman who had been rolling on the floor in pain.
“She isn’t bleeding, and she doesn’t appear to be injured anywhere,” the young Luna murmured, her gaze was drawn to Xavier,
who was sweating profusely. His gaze was focused on the Omega, which reminded him of his own suffering at a time when he
was about to die. He collapsed on the floor, which caused Kiara to panic. What happened to him?
“What’s wrong? Why is she in pain?” She asked, looking between the twins.
“Her mate is betraying her,” Zander responded, terrified at witnessing his brother’s current condition. Kiara’s heart dropped into
her stomach. How could her mate have done this to the poor woman?
“Kiaden, take her away immediately!” Zander ordered with a shout. The woman was taken away in a second to
the hospital but the young woman’s focus had become her Alpha, who was still on the floor. Kiara tried to reach him
but Liala crossed her way, indirectly pushing Kiara away.
“Xavier...” Laila said worriedly, taking her chance to throw herself in his arms.
“I dare you to get any closer to him and I’ll break your arms!” Kiara growled, glaring at Laila, prompting the short-haired woman
to take a step back and flee in fear. Everyone’s wolves flinched at witnessing their Luna’s anger. Kiara returned her gaze to
Xavier, who was sweating even more profusely.
“Xavier... what’s wrong?” She asked. Zander looked at Kiara’s eyes, finding her desperation to reach his brother. He took a deep
breath, leaving his brother in his mate’s hand. The others followed their Alpha, but Kiara remained behind, getting closer to
Xavier.
“Xavier...”
“Don’t touch me,” he growled, not looking at her. Dean was in his eyes acting like a crazy wolf. Kiara was terrified by his state.
He had been losing his mind. She’d never seen him so shattered before.
“Why?” she asked, touching his hand softly.

“I said, don’t touch me!!” Xavier shouted, yanking his hair, as the Omega’s condition had triggered something in his mind so
severely that he had completely forgotten about Kiara. At that moment, she reminded him of Petra. Yes, she was that b***h! She
was the one who betrayed him, had paralysed, and nearly killed him.
“Xavier, please don’t!” Kiara screamed, forcing his hand away as he sank his claws into his skin, causing himself to bleed.
“Please don’t hurt yourself,” she wrapped her arms around him, controlling his movement. He was throwing his hand in the air
and trying to push her away but the young she-wolf had glued herself to his chest tightly. Xavier’s
face was red as he had been reliving a memory of the past.
“Those memories are not real, Xavier. Come out of your thoughts and look at me,” Kiara coaxed, as she held him
until he stopped screaming. She had an idea that it was somehow related to his past. The Alpha’s ears reacted to his woman’s
melodious voice. He had stopped screaming as Venus had made a link with Dean to calm him as well. She closed her eyes
tightly when he stopped all of his crazy movements. Xavier’s heart was beating as fast as Kiara’s. He was trying to take calming
breaths when he recognized the warmth of his woman’s body. It was familiar and
comforting to him.
“Do you hear me? Those are just bad memories and I am your present. I am with you...” Kiara murmured, wiping away her tears.
Why was he so broken and hurt? She drew away from him a little, only to cup his face in her palm. He was so hot because of all
the yelling and anger that had destroyed his mind for some time.
“Look at me,” Xavier’s rage-filled-crimson eyes were full of bitter tears that were drowning him.
“Who am I?” Kiara asked, forcing him to gaze into her teary yet soft eyes, which were brimming with anxiety and anguish as she
witnessed her mate’s crushed heart.
“Tell me, Xavier? Who am I?” She inquired, locking her eyes with his. Xavier took a long, deep breath when he recognized his
woman, who kissed him immediately when he had withdrawn from his past. Xavier closed his eyes, feeling the pleasure of
having his second chance mate in his arms. Her rose and chocolate aroma overwhelmed his heart and mind, prompting him to
open his eyes and meet her tear-filled one. She had feared that she had lost him forever.
“Kiara,” Xavier moaned into her mouth. Kiara’s eyes welled up again when he finally called her name and did not push her away.
When she had finally gotten Xavier back, she clung to him fiercely.

“Don’t forget me ever, Xavier. I will not be able to bear it,” she admitted, burying her face in his neck as he lifted his still shaking
arm to wrap around her small body, pulling her tighter into his lap.
How had she saved him? What had she done to him? Why had she?
