Surrogate For The Cursed Alpha

Aurora Arriving at the hospital, I exhaled deeply with my hands presented to my chest. I forced a smile to my lips as I walked into the room. My smile disappeared the moment I saw Christabel, sitting beside mom. "What are you doing here?" I demanded, glaring at her with disgust and mom frowned. "Rora, Christabel came to check on me, is there a problem?" Mom demanded and I scoffed. "You need to leave now before I throw you out." "Rora. I'm so sorry. It was never my intention for you to find out, everything I said that day was because I was high on crack. You're my best friend, I would never do such a thing to you." She pleaded, feigning sadness and I scoffed. "So what do you want?" "I want your forgiveness. I know it'll be damn hard for you to forgive me but I'm willing to be patient, I'll wait. I was wrong and I should never have done such but please forgive me and let me make things right." She pleaded and I scoffed. "And then what? You come visit me at the pack house? You become the friend of the Luna? You accompany me to gatherings? Isn't this why you're here? Would you be here if I wasn't made Luna?" I demanded and she went silent, her head bowed. "Rora." "Don't call me that, you have no right to, you're nothing but a stranger to me now. Please leave, don't make me call the guards." I replied and she exhaled deeply. "Please forgive me." She muttered softly before she walked out and I rolled my eyes. "Rora, what's going on?" "Mom, it's a long story but I'll tell you everything when you're okay. Just focus on your health for now, forget about everything." I whispered and she nodded softly. The door opened and I turned around, hoping to see the doctor but my eyes widened when Dad walked in, his eyes filled with disgust. "What do you want? Are you here to see if she survived? Well she did, so you have a problem with it?" I demanded, standing in front of mom as a shield, he took one glance at me before returning his gaze to mom who turned her back to him. "Do not make life for Stella difficult because you're Luna, don't get on her nerves because I won't sit back and watch. I have thrown your load out of the house, if you want her to keep living in the house I own then you have to do as I bid." He retorted and just as I was about to reply, mom spoke. "Haven't you done enough? What has this child done to deserve such cruelty from you? Why do you hate her so much? You brought home your mistress, yet I moved out of the main house for you but it still wasn't enough, you turned us into maids and fed us with pennies and now when she does something good for herself, you're against it." Mom's voice was frail but firm and a smile appeared on my lips. This was my first time hearing her talk back to dad in years and it felt so good. "She is a bastard and it's high time you told her who her real father is!" He spat out and she scoffed. "Cheaters always think people are like them. She's your flesh and blood, if you don't want her then it's fine, she's mine alone, u know you'll regret your own later." Mom replied and she scoffed before walking away. She broke into tears and I pulled her into my arms, trying to calm her down. "It's fine mom. Please stop crying." "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't make the right decision. I should've married someone better and given you a good father." "Mom, it's fine. If I come back into this world, I'll still choose you as my mom. You're more than enough for me, you don't need to apologize. I'll get you somewhere good to stay at, you don't have to worry about a thing anymore. I'm capable of taking care of us now, mom." I replied and she stared at me intently while I nodded, trying to assure her. "I don't want to be a burden." "Mom, you would never be a burden. You raised me with love, you sacrificed a lot for me, I'll forever be indebted." I replied and she locked her hands with me, a tear rolling down her cheek. The doctor returned to put her to sleep and I exhaled deeply as I watched her slowly drift to sleep. "Everything will be fine mom. I'll take care of us." I whispered with a smile. I grabbed my phone and searched for Alpha Xavier's number. My heart was pounding heavily and a voice in my head was urging me to stop. "Call him, he's your husband. He can help you handle this." A voice whispered. "Don't be a burden, try to settle this yourself. Don't infuriate the Alpha." Another whispered and I paused slightly while staring at the phone, still trying to decide on what to do. After a long pause and one stare at mom, I decided to brace myself for the worst and call the alpha. He picked on the second ring. "Yes?" His voice was cold and for a moment, I was speechless. I grabbed the hem of my dress while trying to form words in my head. "Aurora." His voice came in anger and I swallowed. "A. Alpha." "Is there a problem? Is the beta harassing you?" He demanded and I shook my head even though he couldn't see me. "No. It's. That's not it." "What is it? I'm very busy." He said harshly and I exhaled deeply. "My. My mom. My mom will get discharged very soon and her load has been thrown out of the house she lives in. I shouldn't be bothering you with things like this but you're my only hope, I don't mind if you remove the rent from my." "It had been taken care of, the driver would take you over to the new house when she gets discharged." He answered and before I could say a word, he hung up. "What just happened? Am I hallucinating? Is this real?" I said aloud as I stared at my phone, checking the name over and over to see if I called the wrong number. I slumped on the chair as relief and shock coursed through my veins, I didn't know whether to smile or shout, so many things were running through my mind.
