Alpha’s Surrogate by POOJA

40. His private life.

“Xavier,” Luna Maya smiled as she walked into her son’s room, oblivious to how shocked and suffocated Xavier was simply by her presence. He hadn't laid eyes on her in so many years that he’d forgotten what she looked like. She had gray eyes? She'd gotten older and attempted to disguise her wrinkles with too much makeup, but her revolting scent was something he’d never forget.

“What exactly are you doing here?” The Alpha growled lowly, but it was evident to his mother, who cupped his face lovingly.

“I cto visit you, my son,” she cooed with a kind smile that could melt anyone's heart, but her words immediately changed her son’s attitude and feelings.

“Don’t touchwith your disgusting hands!!” He yelled, angrily shoving her back. The contact of her skin on his body had left him with a searing sensation, as if somebody had thrown acid on him. Maya's elbow collided with a nearby table, but she managed to maintain her equilibrium.

“Xavier,” she hissed in pain, revealing her teary eyes that made him feel even more disgusted. “How dare you enter my territory?! Who gave you permission to enter my pack?! Get the hell out!” “I said f*****g get out!” He screamed at the top of his lungs, preventing Dean from murdering this woman.

“I've cto visit you, Xavier. It's me, your Mother. Please do not treatas if | were a stranger,” she pleaded.

“Mother? That word sounds like a poison coming out of your mouth! After 20 years, you finally recall your son.

Where have you been all these years? Why has your love finally resurfaced after 20 years?” He demanded, his hand tightly clenched at his side.

“I wanted to meet with you. | wanted to embrace you, but as you know, your father had forbiddenfrom entering this pack. Even after longing to, | was unable to see my children, but today, with the assistance of my daughter. | have visited this pack in order to meet with both of my sons. I've missed you terribly. You've grown so tall and handsome,” Maya replied. She had been pregnant with Iris when her mate had kicked her out of the pack. She tried to move closer to her son so that she could attempt to touch him again before he grabbed her arms.

“Don’t lie! Don’t f*****g use my father to hide your disgusting acts!” Xavier gritted his teeth, tightening his grip on his mother’s arms who had turned pale.

“What do you mean?” She asked in a panicked but low tone.

“If I recall correctly, you are the woman who abandoned your four-year-old sons who were screaming and pleading for you to stay. The explanation was simple: you wanted to abandon us so you could be with another guy. You packed your luggage, locked Zander in his room, then slappedwhen | begged you not to abandon us...” “Xavier,” Maya's eyes becmore teary. She had no idea that a four-year-old child would remember all of this.

“Dont fk+++*g say my name!” He roared before continuing.

“You had calleda mutt’s son! When | tried to catch up to you and rushed behind your car, your male w***e struckwith his vehicle, nearly killing me, then you drove away with him without looking back!” With an enraged growl that scared Maya to death, Xavier enumerated all of Maya's crimes.

“All of that is a lie! You must have been brainwashed by your father! You were just four years old at the time. He stole Zander and you from me. After Iris’ birth he claimed her as well. Your father was the one who rejected me, so | chose to leave,” Maya stood up for herself.

“Rejected?” Xavier laughed bitterly before giving her a deadly glare.

“You frxekg wikkel My Grandfather wasn’t the only one who witnessed you f¥**¥*g a mere Omega in the storeroom. | was there as well. | saw everything, no matter how hard Grandpa tried to keep my eyes covered. | saw everything as | was playing hide and seek! But | had no clue I'd be able to witness my mother’s favorite game! | was told to forget what | had witnessed, but how could | after | heard you declare how much you despised Zander and me? You despised your mate for getting you pregnant with Iris! You intended to poison your sons,” Xavier pushed her away, giving a hate-filled glare.

“It appears that the great Mother's act will not work since you remember everything. That old man was always getting in my way. If it were not for him, your father would not have found out about anything. He would not have rejected me,” Maya chuckled, throwing her hand back in annoyance.

“So you decided to show your true colors,” the Alpha chuckled as well, washing his hand in the sink where she had touched him. He was aware of everything about her acting and plotting. Maya was offended by the fact that her son was washing his hands as if she were a disease. She clenched her hand tightly but chose not to say anything.

“Stop wasting my tand tellwhy you've shown up in my pack. A woman like you doesn’t do anything that is not useful for you. What are you greedy about this time?” Xavier gave his mother a cold look.

“I am here for Alpha Luca. Our pack is in danger. The Blue Moon Pack is trying to take us over and you are the only one that can help me. | need your help to protect my pack,” she admitted.

“Oh, so it is about your man w***e,” Xavier laughed darkly, throwing his handkerchief away.

“He is my husband!” Maya snapped angrily. After the Omega had been killed by Xavier's father and she had accepted his rejection, she had married Alpha Luca, her newest lover.

“So what if he is your husband?! f**k him! You are a cheater! You could not love your fated mate and sons. You cheated us and now you wantto help you? Get lost!” Xavier snarled, approaching her with the intent of grabbing her hand so that he could hurl her out of his pack house. Maya shook her head, panicking as she watched him approach her. This was the end for her if she could not force him to help them. The Blue Moon Pack was dangerous and a small pack like Alpha Luca’s could not face them.

“No, Xavier! Please help me! Alpha Luca needs your help. We will die if you don’t help...” She begged, getting down on her knees. Xavier cto a halt as he stared down at his mother, who was a monster. Even 20 years later, there was no love or concern in her heart for the children from her first marriage. She had never once inquired about Zander’s well-being or how they were doing without her. She had only cto take advantage of him. Her sole goal was to rescue her husband and his son, Alpha Luca's seed.

When he remembered his father’s condition after the rejection, the memory flashing across his mind, he beceven more enraged. He intended to murder Maya right then and there, instead he grabbed her arm and drew her closer to his face.

“That's exactly the result that I'm looking for. Go welcyour death with your family. Don’t ctofor assistance, since you'll only get what you deserve! A w***e like you is unworthy of our love or pity!” He growled, tossing her aside, then turning away from her. Dean was ready to kill her. If she wanted to live for a few more years, then she should have left. Maya's eyes welled with unshed tears when she realized there was no way she could persuade Xavier to change his mind. Zander would follow his brother's decision, therefore he wouldn't assist her. Fury consumed her heart. If she could not get what she wanted, then she would take him down along with her, even though he was her son. She did not care. She approached him, turning his face to her side.

“Love and mercy?” She asked, digging her claws into his arms.

“Do you even understand what any of that means? Don’t forget, Xavier, you're a rejected wolf. Your fate is as bleak as your late father’s!” She smirked when his expression changed.

“Stop talking about my rejection or my father. Or | will kill you!” He grasped her neck in warning. This old she- wolf was practically begging for death! Both of the twins greatly respected their late father and this woman was the one who had given their father the pain of rejection. They would never forget that.

“Why? Is that a lie? Your father was an i***t! He was unable to satisfy my needs, therefore | sought someone else to do so. That Omega was better than my Alpha mate. Where did | go wrong? | didn’t want to have pups. Petra was also fed up with you. She simply wanted to f**k, not produce an heir, so she had to pretend she was infertile. What did she do wrong? We women have wants for which we are capable of doing anything. Your mate was just as sick of you as | was of you twins and your father. Perhaps, Petra just did not want to give birth to your baby, but rather to your Beta’s,” Maya managed to remark.

“She never loved you.” “| said stop!” Xavier yelled, strangling her. In defense, she threw her legs and hand into the air, but it was futile.

A male always had more power. Her older bones couldn't stand up to his youthful Alpha blood. Her eyes rolled back her head while the blood rushed to her face. He determined to murder her. Thanks to her comments, he remembered all the memories of his mother and Petra that had driven him insane over the years.

“Xavier, no!” Zander stormed into the room. He could see how quickly things had escalated. f**k! He had gotten here late. The evilness of their mother had never been disguised from them. The younger twin tried to get his brother's hands away from her neck, knowing that if he continued, she would die in a matter of seconds, but Xavier's grasp was fatal.

was “Xavier she will die! Let her go, brother,” Zander yelled, but it was in vain. In the end, he grabbed his brother's waist, pushing him away with all of his strength. It worked as Maya fell to the ground coughing.

“Leavealone! | want to kill this b***h! How dare she say something like that!” Xavier roared, attempting to get another hold on her neck, but his younger brother was using all of his might to keep him at bay. Xavier should have murdered her the day he took over his father’s position. He'd never gotten his vengeance, but there used to be something that had always stopped him since she was their mother. Plus, Iris had always adored their mother since she had spent the most of her twith Maya, despite the fact that Alpha’s father had obtained custody. Maya burst out laughing, gripping her throat as she rose from the floor. If she could not save the son she had with Alpha Luca, then she had no desire to live, but she needed to finish her twins quickly so that she could take her revenge.

“Truth is always a bitter pill to swallow, Xavier. Your father was equally unable to accept the facts. There's a chance that Petra was never infertile, but you were defective like your father. | heard you chose a mate for yourself. She will also grow tired of you and leave, just like Petra and | did. Every woman is same. You will spend the rest of your life alone, just like your father. You don’t deserve any happiness,” Maya sneered with another cough.

Xavier's mind shut down as soon as he heard the words Kiara would leave him. Every woman was same. Maya, Petra and Kiara? He cto a halt in Zander’s grip, freezing in place. When he heard his mother say something awful to his own son, Zander’s eyes were enraged as well. How could a mother be so pernicious? Was she actually their real mother? “How dare you!!!” A roar pierced the air, followed by a kick to Maya's face from Kiara. The older woman flew in the air like a bag. Zander and Xavier were startled to witness how hard she had kicked their mother, causing her to crash into a table that was broken in two. Maya screamed in agony when her nose and teeth were broken. Her pain wasn’t finished with a kick. Kiara grabbed her by the clothes and slapped her across the face until her rage had calmed.

Despite her pain, Maya tried to defend herself by injuring Kiara’s arms with her long claws, causing her to bleed, but the young she-wolf had lost control of her mind to Venus, who had decided to kill this b**h of a mother-in- mate who had insulted their mate. She had heard everything from the window, now Maya's death was a certainty.

Dean, who had noticed her injured arm, had lost control.

“Kiara no,” Xavier yelled as he yanked Kiara away from Maya, whose hair looked like a rat's nest since Kiara had scratched her entire face with her claws. Venus had been prepared to take control and rip her throat out, but the Alpha had stopped her. Zander grabbed his grieving mother’s hand and shoved her out of the room as well. She had passed out from the agony and anxiety.

“Letgo! | want to kill her!” Kiara screamed with Venus, struggling in his embrace as she attempted to get free, but the Alpha’s enraged gaze was fixed on her wounded arm. Aside from that, he couldn't see any other wounds.

“I said stop!!!” Xavier and Dean snapped together at Kiara. “Who said you could becinvolved in my personal matters?!” He growled, using his Alpha tone.

“Your personal matters?” Kiara was taken aback when she heard her mate’s voice. Was he serious when he had spoken those words? “Yes, it is my personal business, so you don’t need to concern yourself!” He shouted, showing his wolf eyes to exert dominance over her, but Venus was equally enraged. Both of the wolves had Alpha blood and were once again coming face to face, yet his words had greatly affected the young she-wolf. Her hands grabbed her skirts tightly on her sides as she looked deep inside his eyes.

“I appreciate you reminding me, Xavier. | had lost my senses for a few seconds, but | have now regained my composure. I'd forgotten that | was only your surrogate! | have no right to interrupt you in your personal matters.

But now I'll never forget my place among the pack and in your life!” Kiara remarked, she refused to allow the tears building in her eyes to fall. She wasn’t ready to confront him about how deeply what he had just said had affected her. When he finally listened to what she had said, Xavier cback to his senses. He realized that he had wounded her without intending to. She had referred to herself as a surrogate.

“Kiara,” he began to speak, but she broke free from his hold and took a step back from him.

“From now on, Alpha Xavier, | will no longer becinvolved in your affairs! | know my position as surrogate and will always keep at the forefront of my mind,” she snapped as she stormed out of their room. In reality, Maya was totally forgotten by her son like she was trash. Well, she was nothing to him.

“fxxk!” Xavier yelled angrily, yanking at his hair, as Zander watched his brother becoutraged at his mate's reaction. How could she have said all of those things to him? It hurt him more than anything his mother had ever said to him.

“Kiara, stop!” Xavier followed her outside the pack house, shouting. She had been walking at a fast pace. The young Luna dried her eyes sucking in a deep breath. Her heart was pounding. She was an i**t who had acted like a lunatic when she had overheard Maya insulting her mate. To her, he was nothing more than a man who desired a pup from her. How and why she had forgotten her place? She had made herself look like a bitch who pretended to be his mate for no reason. It was entirely his business. Why had she forgotten? “Kiara! Listen to me,” Xavier grabbed her hand, pulling her closer to his chest, but Kiara fought back with all her strength.

“Don’t touch me!” She grumbled, turning to go, but Xavier drew her back.

“Don’t go into the woods! That is my order!” He commanded, attempting to grab her but she had made up her mind. She needed to get away from him before she did something she shouldn't have.

“Kiara,” Xavier murmured as he drew her into a kiss. It was the only thing he could think of to calm her down.

Dean was agitated as a result of what had just happened. Kiara tried to move her lips away but his hand went to her back head to control her movements. Just before she decided to give up again, his words echoed in her mind. His personal matter!” She shoved him away again and slapped him across the face. Xavier was taken by surprise when he was smacked for the first tin his life, never mind that it had cfrom his mate, who was now drawing him down to her height by his collar.

“I'am only your surrogate, Alpha,” she stated, clearly enunciating every word while staring deeply into his emerald eyes. Xavier blinked, looking into her furious, yet beautiful, sexy wolf eyes that glanced at his lips while bringing him closer to her face.

“Just as you ownfor a year, | own you for a year. So don’t try to bossaround,” she whispered, then pressed her lips against his. Xavier closed his eyes, as his heartbeat started to beat faster like he was kissed for the first tin his life. He could sense her tenderness, wildness, stubbornness and all the emotions she was concealing within her kiss. His hands wrapped around her waist as he pulled her closer to him more.

“I understand, now stop it. Don’t go,” Xavier said as his other hand travelled into her hair, he clutched them a little to kiss her back. Kiara’s tears cout of her eyes when his lips kissed her the way she always loved and gave up. It was the way he always controlled her. His soft touch on her body made her crazy for him once again, but her rage was not less. She dug her claws into his chest deeper. The Alpha hissed as she bit his bottom lip, causing him to bleed.

“I hate you, so don’t follow me,” she repeated, while Xavier licked his blood from her lips before she pushed him away. Xavier watched as she transformed into a wolf and vanished into the woods.

Dean was still in his eyes as Xavier placed his hand over his heart, which was thumping so quickly that he thought he was going to have a heart attack. He had been slapped, offended, and forced into a kiss by his woman, but his idiotic heart found it all so hot and seductive.

What was the matter with him? He wanted to kill her in his own unique way, but he also wanted to devour her.

“Kiara...” staring at the woods, he shifted into his wolf, and followed his she-wolf.
