Alpha's Surrogate

Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 35
35. Unfinished business
“Where the hell is my daughter?!!” Luna Martha’s yell echoed across the pack house. Fear gripped the Beta, Gamma, and other
warriors, causing them to step back, unable to lift their heads. She had just gone to visit her mother for three days, but she had
no clue that she would lose her daughter less than 24 hours later. Julie, the Beta
female, stood behind her Luna with her bags. She glared fiercely at her mate, who had bowed his head in shame. She had
asked her mate not to accompany Noah, but he had not heard her.
Julie had been the one who had alerted Martha of Adira’s absence. She had told her the whole story about
locking Adira in a room then forcing her to marry an unknown Alpha. The Luna had gathered enough information to return to the
pack as quickly as possible, but she was late. Her daughter had already fled, and she had no idea where she had gone.
“Martha,” Alpha Sawyer dashed down the stairs, only to be confronted by his enraged mate, who was glaring at
him. Why had she returned so quickly? The Alpha was in deep trouble.
“Calm down, Martha...”
“Where is my Adira?” She interrupted him before he could finish.
“Relax and follow me in here. I’ll tell you everything that happened,” he attempted to clarify.
“I don’t f*****g want to go anywhere. Tell me where my daughter is!” Martha demanded at the same time that Noah entered the
pack house.
“She ran away from the pack house yesterday,” when the family’s eldest son stepped in front of his mother, he exuded pride. Due
to the fact that he was about to take over his father, he had chosen to assert his dominance over his mother first. He believed
that it was an excellent method for him to assert his control over the pack. His sisters were obstructing his ascension to the role
of Alpha.
“Run away?” His mother frowned in disbelief.
“Yes, I believe she has a lover somewhere like Kiara had Alpha Xavier....” Noah’s head snapped to the side before

he could finish his sentence. When Martha vented her rage at her bastard son, a stinging ache emerged in his cheek. He
clenched his teeth as his eyes turned red, but he couldn’t utter a single word in complaint.
“Don’t even think of lying to me again! I never gave you the authority to humiliate or accuse my girls. Nobody understands them
better than me, so don’t blame her for fleeing for no reason. She did it because you forced a marriage on her without her
permission. Tell me, where is Adira?!” Martha demanded, growling. Sawyer then grabbed his son’s collar, pushing him back.
“This is your final warning, Noah. Never dare to say anything between your mother and I! You also know better than to yell in
front of your mother,” the Alpha admonished with a lethal glare. The offended Alpha blood had been standing behind his father
with an offended expression. He had been slapped in front of the warriors who were a
lower rank than him! He was simply waiting for the appropriate moment to exact his vengeance on everyone. Sawyer gazed at
his Luna, whose face clearly told him that if he didn’t calm her down, he would lose her forever. She was going to take her
luggage and leave him for good, just like she had already warned him.
“I’m not sure where Adira is. I sent my men out to search for her, but they were unable to locate her. So we are
still looking for her. I’m going to bring her back to this pack house no matter what,” Sawyer promised his mate.
“You want to drag her back so that you can forcibly marry her off? Sawyer, what exactly are you thinking? She is our child. What
made you think that you could do this to her?” The Alpha couldn’t help but notice the
disappointment in his wife’s eyes, which was a significant red flag for him that things had gotten out of hand. He was
worried and was going to relay what Noah had told him about Adira leaking Ardara Moon Pack’s secret information to Kiara.
Clearly, his mistreated daughter was now attempting to get revenge on him by relaying the information to Sirius Bright Pack’s
Alpha. As a punishment for betraying the pack, he had set up Adira’s marriage to someone
else.
“Yes, but I have reasons,” he explained.
“No excuse can justify your actions, Sawyer. It’s a pity our daughter felt unsafe in her own pack and had to flee. She is still
young, she has nowhere to go. Have you considered how I would cope if something happened to her? I’ve already lost Kiara
because of you, and now I’ve lost Adira as well,” Martha’s eyes were a little moist, which worried her
mate.

“Martha, don’t cry. I’ll track down Adira. I will...”
“Enough, I will find her on my own,” Luna showed her hand to her mate.
“I’ve given you plenty of opportunities, but you’ve always let me down. Now I don’t see why I should stay in this pack. I don’t
need a mate, and I don’t need a son from now on!” Martha declared, picking up her bag. She was leaving the Ardara Moon Pack
for good.
“Martha, please don’t leave. I’ll explain,” before she could walk through the door, Sawyer grabbed her hand, snatching her bag.
He was renowned for his ego and dominance, but his wolf was insanely in love with his mate and there was no way he was
willing to lose her. She was rejecting him, he couldn’t tolerate it.
“Explain? All I want is my daughter back!” She shrieked, drawing her hand back. Sawyer was in a bind, unsure of how to get
Adira back because he had no idea where she had fled to.
“Adira is in my pack,” the roar of the Alpha resonated throughout the Ardara Moon’s pack house. Everyone turned to find the
speaker, only to see the twin Alphas standing at the door. Sawyer grimaced witnessing his foes on his territory, but how could he
forget that this territory was now in their hands? Their uninformed visit had been expected. But seeing Xavier, who had taken his
younger daughter away from right under his nose, made his blood boil, he hadn’t been able to do anything about that. He had
been humiliated, now he was back, only this time with
his twin!
“Why are they here?!” Noah snarled, reliving his thrashing at the hands of Xavier.
“What exactly did you say?” The older Alpha, with his emerald eyes, arched his brows in challenge. Did he have a death wish?
He dared to bark at them? Noah averted his gaze from the dominant Alpha blood who had meant to incinerate him with his eyes.
f**k! He wanted to murder Xavier, but his wolf advised him not to offend the Alpha.
“My Adira is at your pack house?” Martha’s mouth dropped to the floor in disbelief.
“Yes,” Zander answered the unasked question.
“But how and why?” She questioned, getting closer to him. She wasn’t sure which one was Zander and which was Xavier. She
had only heard they were twins, but she had only met Xavier once. Had he hurt her? They’d already taken Kiara, now They’d
taken Adira as well.

“Some of your pack wolves launched an attack on Adira. Kiara had gone to help her but had also put herself in danger. Your
older daughter got injured in the arm while your younger daughter went into heat at the train station. We brought them to our
pack, otherwise your son had brilliantly plotted to kill them,” Zander remarked, giving a blood-thirsty stare to Noah.
“What?” Martha’s blood turned to ice when she heard of the heat and injury. Sawyer’s throat had also become dry. Even though
he despised Kiara, he was frightened at even having to consider how her heat might have ruined her innocence if Xavier hadn’t
been there to protect her in time. Not to mention Adira, who had been hurt as well.
“My son planned to kill them?” Sawyer asked, returning his gaze to Noah, who was sweating profusely. Martha was also staring
at him. Even though he was terrified, he was determined to defend himself with confidence.
“No, they’re accusing me. Why would I attempt to harm my sisters? I wasn’t even at the train station at the time. I don’t know who
those four wolves were....”
“You f*****g bastard!” Xavier punched Noah in the face. He collapsed on the ground, groaning and clutching his broken nose.
“We never said that there were four wolves!” Xavier yelled, kicking him hard in the stomach. He had been caught in their trap.
His agonizing cry echoed in his parents’ ears, who had been stunned to learn the truth.
“How could a brother ever consider hurting his sisters? You deceitful brat!” The old Alpha snarled, wishing to
murder his stupid son, who was already whimpering on the ground. His claws had come out, he had reached the point where he
wished to end his son’s life.
“No! Don’t kill him, Sawyer,” Martha grabbed her mate’s arm.
“I don’t want any more bloodshed,” she pleaded, clutching his arm hard. She hadn’t shown mercy to her son, but her heart
couldn’t bear the thought of losing another child. Lewis, Kiara, and Adira had already left her. She was completely broken.
Sawyer’s legs buckled when he realized how badly he had misjudged Adira. His daughter would not have run away from home if
her Dad had not naively believed his wicked son.
“You don’t want any more bloodshed but we do!” Zander yanked Noah up and landed at least five punches to his stomach. The
Luna was in tears, but she had no power to halt the Alpha twins. Due to Noah’s actions, she felt like a failure of a mother. When
her son was handed over to Xavier, who beat him until he realized what he was holding then kicked him into the corner of the
room like he was little more than a piece of worthless trash.

The Alpha’s bleeding knuckles had been observed by the Ardara Moon Pack. He had the appearance of a bull, taking long fierce
breaths as he watched Noah weep in agony.
alar
“Let him go. I’ll punish him myself,” Sawyer stated, earning Zader’s furious green-eyed gaze.
“How can you possibly punish him for hurting my mate?” He demanded, perplexing the Alpha and Luna.
“Your mate? Who?” Sawyer asked, looking between the brothers. He knew that the one who was talking to him
was Zander.
“Adira. She is my soulmate,” the Alpha declared.
“What?” In total disbelief, Martha and Sawyer almost yelled. Their eyes were wide open, and their mouths were gaping. How
could this have happened? Did this mean that their younger daughter was paired with the older twin and the older daughter was
mated with the younger twin?! They had both of their girls in their clutches?
With a blank look, Xavier moved a step closer to Sawyer. The elderly Alpha was nervous, unsure of what he was about to face.
The old Alpha no longer wielded any power.
“Once again, you struck gold, I am letting your son go. He should be killed, but I promised Kiara that I would not hurt her family.
However, that doesn’t mean that I have to forgive that dickhead. Now, after your son’s latest transgression, if you declare him the
next Alpha of the Ardara Moon Pack, I will annihilate every living creature in this territory. You may choose whoever you want,
but not your bumbling son. Take it as a suggestion or warning. At the end of the day, the option is always yours. I will still be
ready to crush everything,” Xavier cautioned fiercely. The old egoist didn’t say a word, but he glanced aside in rage. He had
never tolerated being told what to do by others well. He was in a bad mood, and the cause of it was his own son.
“I will never allow Noah to take his father’s position. He blew his chance the day he hurt my girls,” Martha
responded quietly but with utter determination. The Alpha twins offered a small respectful nod. Clearly, their daughters had their
mother’s qualities. She was the smartest of the Ardara Moon Pack’s members.
“But how are Adira and Kiara?” The Luna’s voice was hushed, her heart was aching. She was overjoyed that they had become
the Lunas of two mighty Alphas, but she couldn’t visit them now.

“They are fine,” Zander responded. Sawyer remained surly and unresponsive, despite Martha’s smile of delight. That’s when
Martha’s gaze was drawn to Xavier, who was glancing upstairs. Zander returned his gaze to his brother, only to discover that he
was ascending the steps.
“Where are you going?” Zander mind-linked his brother. They were supposed to leave, but he went into the pack house instead.
It was already morning. Lena had been taking care of Adira, who had still been unconscious when they
left. Xavier had ordered Jennifer to stay in his room before leaving the Sirius Bright Pack so that Kiara would not
leave his room. Her heat hadn’t returned yet, but he couldn’t take any chances when he’d come here to deal with Noah. They
needed to return home as soon as possible, but the Alpha had some other plans.
“To complete some unfinished business. Wait for me,” Xavier responded, leaving his brother perplexed. What was he up to?
