Chapter 3

|| SETH VOLKOV's POV ||

" Alpha..are you aware that she might die when it is the time to deliver the baby?" 

The pack healer asked me hesitantly, confusion puzzling across her eyes. She was shocked to see my human surrogate. Silvia had been quiet ever since I brought her to my pack. I let her lover go but could tell that she was madly in love with him.

I replied to my healer sharply, with strong hatred burning inside me,

" JUST DO THE FUCKING JOB! SHE IS DOING IT WILLINGLY, CAN'T YOU SEE?"

Her father ruined my life. I still remember the haunted night when I lost everything. Her father stepped foot on my pregnant Luna, asked with a psychotic smile,

" Her or the baby?"

I chose the baby but ended up losing both. My mate bled to death and begged me to get revenge for her. Her pleading eyes never let me sleep after that day. My healer nodded obediently and went inside the room, a white curtain separating us.

Finding a surrogate was the only way to continue my legacy. I was the only heir in the VOLKOV family. To continue my legacy, the pack elders suggested finding a breeder for me. I could survive without a mate but the pack needed an heir.

The healer came out in a few minutes, seeming tense and uneasy. She spoke after hesitating for a while,

" She is a virgin. A virgin will have a difficult birth. It will be more painful, Alpha."

" DO IT! I DON'T MIND."

Silvia's voice cut off before I could respond. Pushing the curtain away, she muttered in a robotic voice without any expression,

" I am going to die anyway. The pain doesn't matter."

I wanted her dead. I would have killed her father if he was alive but he passed away too soon. It was her duty to pay for her father's sin. I sneered at her, blurting on my healer's face,

" See! She knows everything! Don't waste time and fucking put the baby in her stomach."

The healer didn't dare to argue anymore. She hummed slowly and guided Silvia into a confined room. I waited outside as the medical process went on. Four hours later, the healer came out with a smile, bowed before speaking,

" Congratulations, Alpha. It's done successfully."

A grin formed on my lips as the healer added after sneaking a look through the half-closed door,

" Your baby will be beautiful. That girl is really beautiful."

I didn't notice her face until the healer mentioned it to me. Lifting my eyes at her, I met her angelic face. She had emerald eyes, so natural and well contrasted with her pitch-black hair. Her highlighted nose uplifted her beauty. Unexpectedly, my wolf purred, mesmerized by her beauty but I ignored it with a snort. I instructed the healer, glancing at Silvia's pale face,

" I don't care as long as I get my heir. I don't care whether she dies or leaves."

" Where are we going? "

It was the first time that she initiated the conversation. The ride was awkwardly silent as we drove for my secret pack house. Only my trusted people had access over there. It was the safest place for her as everyone was eyeing my position.

I replied, taking my eyes off the Ipad,

" JUST KEEP QUIET! MUST I REPORT TO YOU?"

Her rosy lips tightened in anger. She swallowed, looking away from me. I didn't want her to know the exact location. The less she knew, the better it was for me. I didn't trust my enemy's daughter.

The red flag next to the street signified that we were entering our territory. Grabbing the iPad, I asked my beta in the driver's seat,

" Are they on spots?"

Silvia asked anxiously, her emerald eyes skimming my face,

" Who? Who are on spots? What are you going to do with me? Have you changed your mind? Do you want to kill me now?"

I barked at her, irritated by her nonsensical questions,

" SHUT THE FUCK UP OR I WILL THROW YOU OUT."

We had security poles in the street. They were here for my safety and my heirs. After I lost my first mate, I had taken extra security layers for my safety. I didn't fear death but I feared losing the people that I loved.

At each hundred meters distance, the black ravengers stood graciously, keeping their eyes on the surroundings as our car crossed them slowly. Their heads bowed respectively when they saw me, Silvia watching them speechlessly.

I asked my beta to slow down the car when we were crossing my best friend, Josh. He greeted me from his wolf form, glancing over at Silvia,

" Congratulations, Alpha. You got your prize finally. We are going to have our prince soon."

I smirked back, sharing a meaningful glance,

" Thanks, Josh. I don't miss my target. When are you..."

Our conversation was cut off when a yelling voice caught our attention, our heads whipping together in the direction,

" SILVIA!!! SILVIA!!! LET..GO..LET..GO.."

My jaw clenched hard to see the lover boy. MAXIM! How the fuck he finds us here?

A pack member was keeping him down as he shouted desperately. Silvia gasped in surprise, her hands fondling with the door lock,

" MAXIM! DON'T.. DON'T HURT HIM.. PLEASE.."

She tried several times but the door wasn't opening. A grin took over my face when I realized how smart my beta was. Silvia turned to me, tears streaming down from her eyes as she begged me,

" Please.. just once..I will tell him to never come back but let me speak to him."

I cocked my head on one side, replying in a sing-song voice,

" Of course! I will let you speak to him."

Her eyes widened with excitement as she blurted on choking,

" Rea.. Really?"

She was going to get out of the car when I added, crashing her hopes,

" But you will speak what I want you to say, not an extra word."
