The Alpha's Contract Surrogate

8

Lukas POV

I left the room. I was confused and worried for no good reason, and I couldn’t shake off why it felt like I was doing something bad.

It was like I couldn't get a particular scent out of my head, and it was tiring me out; there was no way I would have envisioned that someone like her would even make me feel like this.

‘What is that scent with her?’

It was one question in my head, and I had seen her before, but then never paid attention to her beauty, and it was certainly alarming, and there was nothing I could even come to think of immediately.

Darn Woman!

I walked down to my study to get my head in the game directly and make sure that nothing was going to be keeping me away from my duties as the Alpha.

The neighboring packs and many Alphas might have gotten the message that I was expecting a child, so it wasn't going to be easy for me to handle now.

“If they knew that the woman carrying my child was someone weak, then I know there is a chance that they would go for her.”

I was not even trying to think of another reason to get that worried about what was about to happen, but then I also knew that there was a good chance that none of them would get an alert of what was going on here.

I was trying to get my thought process in order, trying to see what I would get out of all this. Suddenly, I caught a whiff of something, or should I say someone?

“If you are going to stand by the door, then I would want to tell you not to do it in a way that would strike anyone as creepy.”

I didnt need to turn to know that it was Sierra, I didnt have the slightest clue why she would even want to come to my study uninvited.

“Seems the Alpha still keeps the scent of all his subordinates at the back of his palm.” She said as I heard her waltz into the study, and it was not clear what she had on her mind.

“What do you want?” I didnt want her to get too comfortable here, it wasn't something I would enjoy.

“Can't I come to my Alpha’s study to see him?”

“Sadly, no, so tell me why you are here and make it snappy, I am not in the mood to leave anyone here?”

I turned to see her in an emerald gown. I was not sure if I had paid attention to them when we were having dinner.

She was looking at me, trying to get something out of her mouth, but then there was nothing coming out.

“Sierra, if you came here to stand there staring at me all night then I want to break it to you that there is no way I would want to do that with you, so I would love it if you—”

“Why is she here?” She blurted something out, cutting me off, but still managing to catch my attention.

“Why is who here?” I didnt want to keep her here for long, it was tiring even looking at her, but then what was I going to do? It was not going to be easy to move her out of the room.

“Please don't act like this with me, I want you to tell me why that stinking weakling is here?”

She sounded more snarky, and it was not a good sign in any way, but I was not one to care if anything was about to happen, and I wouldn't even want to keep it to mind like that.

“If you are talking about Alya, then I would want to remind you that she is carrying my child, and she is meant to be here with me, so there are no complications with her or anyone going for her.”

I answered her, going back to my paper, trying to see if I was going to get something down before something else would come up.

I felt her come closer to me, I didn’t want to pay attention, but then I felt her hands on my chest rubbing me softly and firmly.

“You know,” She sounded different, it was not the same voice she would use normally, it sounded soft, tender, and caring— it sounded like trouble!

“She is not fit to be the mother of the Alpha’s first child, you know you could make it disappear and—”

“Sierra, the only reason I am tolerating you is because my family and the pack respect you, but if you should cross this line one more time, I will make sure that there is no one holding me back from sending you away from the pack.”

She paused, lifting her hands from my body and backing away. Turning to see the look on her face, I was not sure if I was going easy on her.

“Trying to get me to kill a child, regardless that it is mine— you would be happy to kill someone to get anything you want?” I asked a question, she was silent, and it felt like she was trying to avoid looking me in the eye.

“You don't have any right to tell me who can carry my child or not, it doesn't matter if she is weak or not; the child is mine, and as for the time being, Ayla is mine too.”

From the reaction I saw on her face, it was clear that my words had struck a nerve.

She remained quiet, facing down, knowing that there was a chance that I would say more.

Holding her skirt, she was looking down, and I could feel it. It was pure hate and jealousy, but then I knew it was not for me.

“I am extremely sorry, I didnt know what took over me.” She said with her head bowed down, it felt empty and clear to me that there were going to be more problems.

I didn't say anything, I averted my eyes back to my paperwork in front of me.

Without saying a word, she left the office, and I was alone once more. This time with an extra thought in my head, one that was rather unseen for.

“Why did I get angry when she mentioned doing something like that with Ayla?”

Aside from the fact that my child is in her womb, I don't know why I got so protective.

It was the same thing that pushed me to mark her, but what was that?

Lost in thought, I didn't notice when another person walked into the room.

I turned to see Rufus, and there was a look on his face that spelled something I hated more than weakness.

There was trouble.

He bowed his head, delivering his message rather swiftly. “Someone is here to see you, Alpha Lukas.”
