Filed To Story: Falling for the Alpha as a Surrogate Novel
Conner puts his face in his hands, letting out a deep sigh before looking up at me. “What did that asshole do to you, Luna? I’ll kill him for it -” “Nothing,” I insist, shaking my head.
“Seriously, Conner, he didn’t do anything bad – just…just let me handle Sinclair, all right? And maybe… make yourself scarce for twenty-four hours or so.” Conner laughs a little, but he also goes a little pale. “All right,” he murmurs, nodding. Then he looks again at the door to my room. “Are you sure you – ” “I can walk ten feet by myself, Conner,” I say, rolling my eyes a little, and I hear him laugh as I wave over my shoulder. I pause with my hand on the doorknob, watching Conner disappear down the hall, and then with a deep sigh I press the door open and step inside.
The room is dark, which makes sense, because it’s very late now, and the baby is asleep – “Ella?” Sinclair asks, and I don’t even jump as my eyes move to where he’s sitting in a chair by the window, fully dressed, clearly waiting for me. He stands, already intuiting that something’s wrong.
And I sigh, pressing the door shut behind me and leaning back against it.
“What’s wrong,” he growls, taking a step towards me and I hang my head and shake it, tears pricking at my eyes.
Because as much as I held it together on the rest of the car ride home, not wanting Conner to see me fall apart as we walked back to the room, now that I’m here?
I start to completely unravel. Sinclair gasps a little when he realizes how upset I am and he’s before me in a moment, reaching for me.
And I throw myself into his arms, wrapping my own around his waist, pressing my head against his chest and sobbing as I take a deep breath of his comforting scent, as I feel his arms wrap around me, as he lowers his face to my hair and presses a kiss there.
He lets me cry for a moment, I think shocked But then that moment passes and I feel him start to go tense with fury.
“What did he do,” Sinclair growls, already livid.
But I tighten my arms around him and shake my head.
Because Calvin – honestly, he didn’t do anything.
It’s my stupid mother this time again.
Because the Goddess is the one who deals out mates – and did she seriously do this? Did she give me a second mate, when I’m finally, finally happily settled with my first?
What the hell is she playing at?
Ella
“Ella,” my mate growls as my tears start to subside a little bit. And I look up at him with a sniff, into his face that is terribly dark with his anger. His whole body is shaking – not trembling like mine was, but honestly shaking as if he’s trying very, very hard to hold himself back.
“You need to tell me, right now,” Sinclair continues, his voice thick with the effort of not bursting from the room and hunting down the Prince, ” what the hell just happened. I need to know whether or not I need to go murder someone.” A dark little laugh bursts from me at this – at the casual way my gorgeous mate threatens murder – and his growl intensifies because he is perfectly serious.
Hastily I shake my head no as I look up at him.
“No, Dominic,” I say, doing my best to pull myself together and stand up straight.
“It’s not like that – it’s…” and I sigh, my eyes going wide. “I mean, it’s a lot – but he didn’t do anything really bad.” To my surprise, Dominic snarls, his head whipping towards the door.
“Dominic, I just said that – ”
“You said not really bad,” he snaps, implying that he did something bad.” I reach a hand up now and place it on his cheek, something about Sinclair losing his temper allowing me to fortify myself, to pull myself together for both of us. “I’m going to need you to contain all of this,” I say quietly, making him look at me.
“Because you are not going to like what I have to say. But you have to hear it.” “Please, Ella,” he murmurs, dropping his arms from their tight place around me and taking my face in his hands. ” You’re killing me. Please, please tell me what is going on.” “Not until you promise not to murder anyone,” I say, dead serious.
And he sighs, but then he nods, agreeing to my terms.
And then I take my mate’s hand and I lead him over to the bed. I take a moment just the briefest one peer into my baby’s crib, my heart filling with joy at the sight of my sweet, darling baby boy. I send him a very tiny pulse of happiness and joy down the bond, hoping it gives him sweet dreams, and then I turn to my bed, and I pull back the covers, and I kick off my shoes and climb in fully dressed. to “What the hell?” Sinclair asks. “Ella, you’re -” “Just get into bed,” I sigh, reaching for him. “Come on bed is… it’s where we are just us, where we have all our best talks.” Sinclair sighs but, seeing that I’m serious, he does as I say, crawling over me to get to his side of the bed and then slipping himself under the covers. I immediately curl up next to him, tucking my head beneath his chin as he wraps his arms around me.
“All right, trouble,” he murmurs, again kissing the top of my head, and I smile at the nickname, because it lets me know that he’s in a better emotional place to hear news that I know is going to wreck him. “Tell me everything.” And I do as my mate says.
