The Alpha's Human Surrogate 29. Jake
Sophia’s POVI sit in my room, surrounded by a stack of unopened mail. I flip through the envelopes absentmindedly, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of internships and career prospects. I have applied to several hospitals, hoping to secure a position for the summer, but the lack of response is beginning to dampen my spirits.Just as I’m about to give up hope, a notification pops up on my phone screen. It’s an email from Grace Hospital, and my heart skips a beat. I eagerly click on the message, my eyes scanning the words as they appear before me.“Congratulations!” The email begins. “We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted for an internship position at Grace Hospital.”I can’t believe my luck. Out of all the hospitals I have applied to, it’s Grace Hospital that has responded first. I have heard stories about the intensity and demanding nature of internships there, especially from my friend Lily, who has completed her training at the same institution. But I am determin
The Alpha's Human Surrogate 30. Emilia
Emilia’s POVI sit behind the wheel, my hands tightly gripping the steering wheel as I prepare to drive the kids to the supermarket. Alexander left for work earlier today, leaving me alone with Daisy and Daniel to babysit. But I needed some necessities so I am bringing them along for this errand. Daisy, the younger of the two, bounces in her seat with infectious excitement.“Aunt Emilia, what’s the supermarket all about? What do we do there?” Daisy’s voice is filled with genuine curiosity and eagerness.I can’t help but smile at Daisy’s enthusiasm, finding it endearing. “Well, Daisy, the supermarket is where we go to get all the things we need for our everyday life. We’ll be picking up groceries like fruits, vegetables, and other food items. And we’ll also grab some household essentials like cleaning supplies and toiletries.”Daisy’s eyes widen with wonder as she processes the information. “Wow, Aunt Emilia! Can we explore the whole supermarket? Will there be a lot of people?”I chuck
The Alpha's Human Surrogate 31. Get married
Emilia’s POV As we continue our journey through the supermarket, someone suddenly calls my name and I turn to look. To my surprise, it was Dakota, one of my high schoolmates whom I haven’t met in a long time. I pause and regard her. It’s been a long time since I last saw her but she still seems to have that air of arrogance around her. I eye her, wondering why she chose to call me and say hi when she could have walked away. We have never been on good terms anyway. “Hi,” she calls out as she walks forward. “It’s been such a long time.” I feign a smile and respond, “Yes, it’s been a long time.” Dakota looks me up and down, her eyes lingering on my face for a moment. “You haven’t changed much,” she comments casually. I raise an eyebrow, somewhat taken aback by her statement. “Well, thank you, I suppose,” I reply, not entirely sure how to interpret her words. She quickly recovers and forces a smile on her face. “You’re living a good life, I can tell,” she says, her voice tinged wit
The Alpha's Human Surrogate 32. Counterfeit
Sophia’s POV I turn my attention to the children, a gentle smile gracing my face, and approach them with a reassuring presence. “Hey there, are you both okay?” The older brother, his voice steady despite his trembling, speaks up. “We didn’t mean to cause any trouble. My sister was just chasing the puppy, and she accidentally tripped. I’m sorry about the pearl.” I pat the boy gently on the shoulder, admiration gleaming in my eyes. “You handled that very well. Accidents happen, and it’s important to take responsibility and apologize. Let’s see if we can work things out, alright?” The woman says from behind impatiently, “I am not interested in all this pity party. Pay me up and let me go!” Probably shocked by the woman’s sudden loud voice, the young girl begins to cry. I turn to the woman and say sharply, “What is your problem? I already told you we will solve it. What was the need to scare the kids!?” “Why are you being so rude?” She fires back. “How dare you talk to me like t
The Alpha's Human Surrogate 33. Puppy
Emilia’s POV I raise an eyebrow, taken aback by Daisy’s sudden request. My eyes shift to the small, adorable puppy in her arms, its innocent gaze captivating me. “Daisy,” I begin in a gentle tone, “we can’t just take someone else’s dog. It wouldn’t be right to keep something that doesn’t belong to us.” Daisy’s bottom lip quivers, and she pouts, pleading with me. “But Aunt Emilia, the puppy doesn’t seem to have an owner. I found it, and it feels like it wants to be with me. Can’t I keep it?” Sighing softly, I understand Daisy’s attachment to the puppy. I notice how comfortable and at ease the dog seems in her embrace, as if it has already found its home. Perhaps Daisy could provide the love and care it needs. “I understand how you feel, Daisy,” I say, my voice filled with empathy. “But we have to make sure we do the right thing. We need to try and find the puppy’s owner first. If we can’t locate them, then we can consider you taking care of it.” A spark of hope gleams in Daisy’s
The Alpha's Human Surrogate 34. Hacking
Emilia’s POV I come out of the room at noon, expecting to find Alexander already gone to work. However, as I step into the living room, I’m taken aback by the sight before me. The kids, Daisy and Daniel, are happily playing, their laughter filling the air. Confusion washes over me as I wonder why they aren’t at school. “Hey, guys! Why aren’t you at school today?” I ask, furrowing my brows in confusion. Daniel, always quick-witted and sharp-tongued, clicks his tongue and mocks me for not knowing that it’s the weekend. “Seriously, Aunt Emilia? It’s Saturday. No school today,” he retorts, grinning mischievously. I can’t help but laugh at my own forgetfulness, correcting myself with a playful smile. “Oh, right! How could I forget? It’s the weekend. Silly me!” I settle down beside Daisy, feeling warmth in my heart. Daisy, my adorable niece, is holding a little puppy in her arms. It’s the same puppy we had decided to adopt and named Milk. Daisy’s affection for the tiny creature is evid
The Alpha's Human Surrogate 35. Lie
Emilia’s POV I am nervous due to how cold Alexander looks, and I muster up the courage to ask him what happened, mentioning that I thought he had already gone to work. The room feels tense as I cautiously approach him, my heart pounding in my chest. “Alexander, what’s going on?” I ask, my voice tinged with nervousness. “I thought you had already left for work.” He looks up at me, his gaze piercing and distant. “Change of plans,” he responds curtly. “I had some things to take care of here.” I swallow hard, trying to maintain my composure. The atmosphere feels heavy, and I can’t shake off the feeling that something is amiss. I decide to steer the conversation away from his unexpected presence at home. “Well, I found the kids downstairs. We were playing together and chatting,” I explain, my voice shaky. “They seem to be having a good time.” Alexander’s expression remains stoic, but I sense a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes. “What were they talking about?” My heart skips a beat, a
The Alpha's Human Surrogate 36. She’s human
Emilia’s POV As I finish speaking, Alexander’s gaze lingers on me, his expression a mix of contemplation and resignation. “She’s not really in the power to do but yes, it is undeniable that she doesn’t show much concern for them.” “And there’s something else,” Alexander adds, his tone shifting slightly. “Did you not notice that she doesn’t have a werewolf scent?” His words catch me off guard, and I find myself trailing back to my encounter with Sophia. A sudden realization dawns upon me, and my eyes widen with astonishment. It all makes sense now. Sophia, the woman I had met, couldn’t have been a werewolf because she lacked the distinct scent that accompanies our kind. A mixture of shock and understanding settles within me, and I turn to face Alexander, my voice trembling with realization. “She... she’s not like us, is she? She’s human.” The weight of the revelation hangs heavy in the air, leaving us both grappling with its implications. The truth hits me with a surge of emotions
