Alpha’s Surrogate Chapter 49

49. We

More than twenty vampires stormed out of the Vampire Fort, passing the King and Alpha as if they were nothing more than a fierce wind. Their speed was impressive. Alfred and Xavier made their way back into the safety of the Fort, where every terrified face witnessed their King in a full blown rage. His eyes had turned a dark blood red color, which was generally the consequence of blood lust, however in this case His Highness was currently dealing with the fallout from the betrayal of three of his trusted people.

The vampires who had been notified about the unexpected trespassing of werewolves on their enclave had been asked to notify the emergency medical personnel of their impending arrival. Only a small number of designated individuals had been dispatched to apprehend the traitors and invaders. The rest of the medical staff had been waiting for the unexpected patient’s arrival. When the Alpha walked into the corridor all of the vampires lost their s**t. Was the Luna hurt? That was absolutely terrible news! A werewolf had been attacked on the vampire’s enclave, that could mean that they faced an impending war.

This was particularly worrisome with the aura that her mate had been emanating.

How could this werewolf’s aura be so powerful and terrifying? Yes, they were distinct species, but the mythical community had a way of affecting each other at times. That was precisely what had occurred to them, their Instincts demanded that they comply. Their guilt had made them tremble as the young she-wolf had been injured while they were supposed to be protecting her.

As the vampires bowed their heads, Xavier and the King entered. However this time, it was out of terror rather than respect. Could it be that the Alpha’s intimidating aura had been caused by his injured mate? Understanding the mating bond was not everyone’s cup of tea. The Alpha, who was walking beside the

King, was filled with so many emotions that it had turned him into a beast capable of killing someone at the slightest provocation. His emerald eyes were locked on his woman’s fainted figure as a rumbling growl emerged from his chest.

Everyone’s eyes widened in horror as they passed through the corridor and entered a large room that was filled with physicians. One of the Doctors who had been standing between them noticed the blood dropping on the white tiles from Kiara’s leg. In an instant, the tranquil expression on his face had changed into a frown.

“Bring a bed right away! This woman is having a miscarriage! We need to stabilize her!” The Doctor announced to his staff. Xavier, who had been gently placing his wife on the bed, froze in place and stared in horror at the Doctor.

“Miscarriage?!” He growled, walking closer to him. The Doctor stepped back in fear.

“Xavier,” Alfred instantly placed a hand on the Alpha’s shoulder, who looked like he was about to rip the Doctor’s throat out for uttering something ridiculous. Alfred turned to face the Doctor, gesturing him to continue speaking. He bowed to both of the high-ranking men before continuing.

“I’m sorry, but it’s true, she’s having a miscarriage,” the Doctor said, turning his attention to the bed. He moved his palm softly over Kiara’s stomach.

“Why did you let your wife shift when she was carrying a pup?” He inquired, his gaze drawn to Xavier’s pale face and wide green eyes. He had no idea Kiara was pregnant. His mind had gone completely blank and his senses had left him. Everything around him had faded, leaving only his fainted bleeding female on the bed. He couldn’t hear the Doctor’s request to leave the room. The Vampire King took the Alpha’s arm and pulled him out of the room so that the physicians could do their work.

All of Xavier’s senses crashed into consciousness when the door closed behind him blocking Kiara from his sight. He rushed to the window where he could view the progress of her treatment. The iron

bar around the window rattled and appeared to be breaking due to Xavier’s strong grasp on them. Alfred had been keeping a careful eye on him. This was not what he had hoped for. For the first time in his life, the King had been gullible.

What the hell had happened to cause things to turn out this way? Xavier had never forgotten the instant he had first seen her. Her lovely smile, that she had given him before leaving the room asking him not to be late, flashed before his eyes. Xavier’s hand trembled as he experienced an unexpected emotion deep within him. What exactly was it? Fear? Fear of losing her? His entire body was sweating profusely, he had been taking deep and fast breaths in an attempt to keep Dean at bay. The term “miscarriage” had shaken the Alpha and his wolf to their core.

“Didn’t you know about her pregnancy?” Alfred inquired, his gaze drawn in by the other man’s emotions, who had just learned of the loss of his unborn child. He’d never seen Xavier in this state before.

“She never told me,” he said, slamming the window, while gritting his teeth, and letting out his

fury.

“If I had known she was pregnant, I would never have permitted her to shift! I would have kept her close to me if I had known. If she’d told me…” The Alpha paused, recalling David’s bride Karina’s remark as he returned his gaze to Kiara. Karina had pointed to Kiara’s belly, indicating that she was pregnant, but the young she-wolf had politely declined. Maybe Kiara hadn’t even realize she was pregnant, because if she had she wouldn’t have shifted, putting their baby at risk.

Xavier rubbed his face with his hand then turned to Alfred, feeling like the biggest i***t in the world. After her heat and their mating, there had been a good possibility that she’d be pregnant. Some she- wolves become pregnant within two or three days of their heat. But he hadn’t considered any of that.

“Things might have been different if I had realized she could be pregnant so.soon,” Xavier hammered his hand against the wall again. Alfred took a deep breath and approached him.

“It shows you weren’t waiting for her to become pregnant. I thought you were worried about your unborn child because you picked this young lady specifically to have a baby, but it appears you are more concerned about her,” the King pointed out noticing the Alpha’s stunned expression.

When the revelation hit him hard, Xavier’s heartbeat quickened. Why hadn’t he waited for her to become pregnant? Why had he not anticipated her pregnancy when he had brought her into his life for just that purpose? Wasn’t she just his surrogate? Why was he so enraged at seeing her in this condition? Why did he care more about her than his unborn pup, who was somewhere between life and death? He blinked, struggling with his thoughts until he noticed the Doctor.

“What is he saying?” When the Alpha noticed the Doctor mind-linking Alfred for something, he questioned the King.

“He claims that he has never treated a werewolf. He also pointed out that a vampire has never faced a pregnancy or miscarriage case, but he can give it a shot. Due to her abrupt shift, there is a higher probability that he will not be able to save the pup or Kiara. Are you willing to take a chance and let him treat her?” He asked.

Dean had frozen in Xavier’s head when he learned they were about to lose their mate and pup. It was

happening to them all over again. It was the same thing that the Doctor had told him when he couldn’t

save his first child. But Xavier’s heart felt differently this time. He had been depressed when it had happened with Petra’, but this time he was afraid. He was afraid of losing his mate.

His emerald eyes were locked on her pale face, as everyone waited for his response with bated breath.

“Do it,” he answered, his attention shifting to the Doctor standing beside the bed. He nodded, as they

lowered the blinds on the windows preventing him from looking inside.

“Alpha, your clothing and other items are ready,” one of the women said as she approached Xavier with garments, shoes, and other items.

“Calm down, Xavier. I believe the treatments will be time-consuming. Here are your clothes Change.” Before the king could say anything further, Xavier changed into his wolf and bolted from the Fort into the dense forest. Dean had lost control, and Xavier had given him permission to take over before he killed anybody. He felt disoriented, terrified, depressed, and enraged. He had only one thing on his mind, Kiara. The thought and risk of losing her was driving both man and wolf to distraction.

He didn’t stop running until at least a half an hour had passed. When the Alpha wolf arrived in the center of the woods, he lifted his head and howled in an attempt at releasing all of his emotions while gazing up at the beautiful shining moon. His dark green eyes had become infuriated.

He had no intention of accepting her death. She had to return to him! She had wormed her way into his life, declaring that she was his present. She was meant to be only his. That meant she couldn’t leave

him!

Then a terrible silence came over the dark foliage. Xavier’s gaze went up towards the sky, where he saw a bat fly over his head and started going back towards the Fort. Dean let out a low yet frightening growl while glaring back at the Fort where his prey had been served.

Within a moment he had begun to run back in full speed. The bat had been one of Alfred’s soldiers

who had come to signal him of the capture of the traitors and attackers that Xavier had been eagerly

waiting for. But the longer the wait, the sweeter the vengeance!

“These are two of the traitorous vampires, my lord. Thanks to them the werewolves have been able

to cross into our enclave and our people continue to die,” Alfred announced. Kane, the Fort’s honest right hand man, emerged with three men outside the Fort’s main gate. As usual he had not disappointed His

Highness.

As soon as they noticed the King approaching them, both of the traitors began sweating and trembling. They both took a step back out of fright and fear, but it was already too late. Alfred, grabbed a hold of the neck of one of them with his bloodthirsty hands, shattered it until the bones were left as little more than dust then hurled the body on the ground like garbage. The second vampire, afraid for his life, sought in vain to flee but the very next second he saw the terrifying form of the Vampire King in front of him, when Alfred’s sharp fangs sank into his neck.

He didn’t even have the chance to scream in agony since all of the blood in his body had been sucked out. His dead body joined the collection of corpses on the ground. After witnessing this heinous scene, the third individual kneeling before the King wished for death but not in such an agonizing fashion. The Vampire King had just slaughtered his own treasonous people indiscriminately! Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“And what about this one?” Alfred asked rhetorically while sluggishly licking blood from his lips. It was undoubtedly the harshest taste because the blood had come from the vampire’s body, but it was still

the blood of a traitor! Only he had the right to taste it! How dare they play at treason right under his

nose?!

“One of the two wolves that entered our enclave escaped, but we were able to catch this one in time. He seems to be little more than a pawn. He does not have any useful information to provide since he is one of the individuals being paid to do this. He has no knowledge of the person who has given him this

assignment. Only the wolf who managed to flee appears to be an important part of this web of intrigue since he also possessed that device,” Kane explained, watching the scared werewolf scurry back on the ground as Alfred moved closer to him. Kane aggressively kicked the man back, forcing him to stay in his spot. Had he not realized that the more he tried to escape, the more horrific his death would be?

“Hmm, too bad, I don’t drink dog blood. It grosses me out!” The Vampire King murmured, standing back up to his full height to peer deep into the terrified wolf’s eyes, it seemed like he was going to die from

a heart attack.

“Where is Alpha Xav…” Alfred couldn’t finish his sentence before a screaming cry came from the wolf that resonated through the area. A spray of blood splattered over Alfred’s face, staining his royal robe. What happened? Kane ljumped out of his skin movign away in terror after witnessing Dean rip the criminal

werewolf’s throat out in one go.

The vampire was himself a killing machine, couldn’t believe how swiftly Xavier had stalked out of the bushes and delivered justice to the criminal. He’d merely blinked, and the wolf’s blood soaked body was tossed close to his leg. Kane had to confess that it had been the most sinister scene he had ever

vas

witnessed. It was embarrassing for him to be afraid, so he immediately controlled his expression before his King spotted him acting like a p***y. There was no place for the weak in the Vampire Kingdom.

“f**k! What a disgusting mess,” Alfred cursed, scowling at Xavier as he wiped the small amount of blood that had splattered on his face. While Alfred stared at him, the Alpha had already changed into his human form. More than the King’s royal robes, Xavier’s body was covered in blood, it was as if he had taken

a bath in his adversary’s blood, it was this that gave he and his wolf satisfaction.

However, the Alpha’s revenge did not appear to be complete. The wolf was still clinging to life. He

was taking his last breath. Xavier had remembered both werewolves’ faces and this had viciously tossed Kiara away. She was injured because of him! When Xavier clutched his neck with his long claws pulling the low life closer to his face so that he could watch the life leave his eyes. The wolf’s throat was bleeding profusely as he took his final breath of life.

“Never touch my mate!” Xavier roared while shredding his neck further, then growled and hurled his head to the opposite side of the courtyard. The vampires who witnessed Xavier’s savagery made horrified expressions and turned away. Even though they lived on blood, what had just occurred in front of their

eyes had been terrible to witness.

“Where is the other one?” Xavier growled at Kane as he put on the clothing that one of the maids had

hastily brought him.

“I want that fucker no matter the cost,” he kept crushing the dead body beneath his heel with his

until he heard her.

“Xavier,” when he heard Kiara’s voice come from behind him, Xavier’s breath became stuck in his

throat. Was he hallucinating? He turned around to gaze at his she-wolf, who was up on her feet, with one of the nurses holding her arm for support. Alfred raised his brows in astonishment when the Doctor who had promised to cure Kiara approached them.

“How is she able to walk? Didn’t you mention that she was having a miscarriage?” The King questioned, perplexed. The pretty girl was still pale, but her gaze was fixed on her Alpha, who had frozen in place convinced that he was dreaming.

“Before I could treat her, she regained consciousness. I was surprised since I had prophesied that she would lose her pup, but then I realized that when she shifted into her wolf, she must have felt the pup in her stomach even though it was too late. Still, she did everything she could to protect her baby, which resulted in her bleeding. She risked her life to protect her pup and succeeded. She refused to listen to me when I told her not to get out of bed. She wanted to see Alpha Xavier safe with her own eyes,” explained the Doctor, making Alfred smile. What a mate Xavier had. The Alpha and Luna were both strong-willed and stubborn. Xavier blinked when a cold wind touched his face that was filled with Kiara’s chocolate and rose

scent.

“Xavier,” Kiara whimpered, letting go of the nurse’s hand and taking a step which zapped too much of her energy, causing her to wobble.

“Kiara,” Xavier mumbled, walking quickly, then running,so that he could embrace his woman in a

tight hug. The vampires were taken aback when they saw the Alpha running barefoot. The young woman felt her chest bang into his muscular one as the sparks began to work like magic on her heart and mind once more. She believed she’d seen him for the last time when she fainted, but now she was back in his arms, where she wished to spend her entire life. Was this real?

“You scared me. Don’t do that again,” Xavier admitted, tightening his hold on her little body, wanting to pull her inside himself and never let her go. When Kiara heard his fearful heartbeat, the young Luna cracked a faint smile. Had he been concerned about her? Had he feared losing her?

“Okay,” Kiara responded by hugging her mate back with her weak arms. Closing her eyes, she felt the warmth that only he could provide her. It was what had inspired her to keep their child safe and return to him. Dean had developed a connection with Venus, realizing that he had his mate back, safe and secure. They had been talking and embracing their she-wolf without any break. When Kiara was in Xavier’s arms, all fear, anxiety, and depression evaporated in an instant. She felt his soft kiss on her head and more hugs.

“Why are you here, Kiara? Let’s go back inside,” Xavier suggested as he pulled away from her, taking her hand in his to guide her back to her room. He was about to scoop her up in his arms when the young

she-wolf halted him.

“Xavier,” Kiara stopped him with her hand, then he noticed that she had placed his hand over her belly. Xavier’s heart beat was fast when he saw her doing this. In the past when he had lost his baby and the present when the Doctor had mentioned a miscarrigae had started to crush him.

“You are going to become Dad, Xavier,” She added, observing Xavier’s wide gaze. The Alpha stared in wonder down at her belly and sought to feel his child as his lips curled into a faint smile. The pup was safe and she had called him a Dad. He locked his emerald gaze with her lovely chocolatey one.

“Dad?” He lightly slipped his arms around her waist drawing her closer to his chest.

“Y… yes,” she replied by taking a deep breath and lightly licking her lips as he leaned down to her face, so close that she could feel his hot breath on her face.

“You are going to….” Kiara was going to repeat her words so that he believed her, when Xavier placed his finger on her lips.

“Not 1, Kiara,” he whispered, removing his finger as he gazed deeply into her confused eyes.

“We are going to have a pup,” he clarified, pulling her into a sweet gentle kiss. The young she-wolf was stunned when he said ‘we.

“I am going to be a Dad and you are going to become a Mommy,” he added, deepening the kiss. Xavier felt Kiara’s smile before she closed her eyes, wrapping both of her arms around his neck and kissed him back.

Now they were both going to become parents …
