A SURROGATE LUNA FOR THE ALPHA

Jasper Grey, my mate had taken me in as a slave and surrogate for his barren fiancée.

“Where's that baby making machine that calls herself my mate?” Alpha Jasper Bellowed, his voice echoing through the pack house.

“Come here right now and get to work on some spicy chicken pepper soup for my one true love!”

I felt a cold dread creeping up my spine as I realized my marriage was about to be reduced to ashes.

Zara Flynn, the woman my husband had been obsessing over for years, was finally moving in. And I, the Omega wife, was expected to roll out the red carpet for her.

The air was thick with tension as I entered the room, the scent of Zara's perfume hanging heavy over everything like a bad omen.

I wiped my hands on a kitchen towel, my eyes locking onto the sight before me. Zara lounged in Alpha Jasper's embrace, his fingers tracing her arms while a playful smile danced on her lips.

"Jasper, I've told you I can't stand this stupid omega's smell," Zara spat, her voice venomous. "It's been four years! Can't you just get rid of her? She's fulfilled her part of the deal, giving you two kids in four and a half years. Send her away so we can finally get married!"

The words cut deep, each one a razor-sharp slash to my heart.

I felt a pang of resentment as I remembered the circumstances that led me to become Alpha Jasper's wife.

I was once the Alpha of the Moonstone pack, but a brutal war had left me orphaned and at the mercy of the Shadow Born pack.

Jasper, the Alpha, had offered me a deal: marry him and bear him children, and he would spare my life and protect my pack.

But now, four years into our contract, I realized I was nothing more than a prisoner, a breeding machine for Jasper's children.

And Zara, his true mate, was the one holding the reins.

"Get out!" Jasper's voice cut through the air, his words dripping with disdain. "You heard my woman! She doesn't want to see your face in this mansion again. From now on, you'll be moving to the boys' quarters. We'll call for you when we need you!"

The words hung in the air like a challenge, each one a cold, calculated blow. I felt a chill run down my spine as I realized the true extent of my imprisonment.

"I... can't," I stammered, my voice shaking with fear. "Alpha... What about my children? Who will take care of them? I can't be away from them for too long, please..." I pleaded, tears welling up in my eyes like a desperate prayer.

Zara's face twisted in a snarl, her eyes flashing with anger.

"How dare you! How dare you question the Alpha's orders? Are you out of your mind?" She wrapped herself in a blanket, leaped off the bed, and delivered two stinging slaps across my face.

The pain exploded through my cheek like a firework, leaving me reeling. I stumbled back, my eyes blurring with tears.

"No, that's not what I meant at all," I stammered, my voice shaking with fear. "I'm just really concerned about my little ones. I can't bear the thought of them getting hurt while I'm not around."

Zara's eyes flashed with anger, her voice dripping with venom.

"Let me remind you why you're here! You're my surrogate! Those kids belong to me, and your job is to help care for them. When I decide it's time for you to leave, you will leave!"

The words hung in the air like a death sentence, each one a cold, calculated blow. I felt a surge of defiance, of desperation.

"But I promise I won't cause any trouble," I pleaded, my voice shaking with fear. "I'm happy to be a caretaker for my babies. Please don't take them away from me!" I clung to Zara's legs, my tears streaming down my face like a desperate prayer.

But she was unmoved, her eyes flashing with anger. "Get off me, you fool! You have five more months here, and then we're done with you! Now get out and make me some hot soup!"

I rose, my eyes blazing with fury. "I won't be treated like this! I demand a divorce! I won't stay in a marriage where I'm nothing but a breeding machine!"

Jasper's eyes narrowed, his face twisted in a snarl. "You think you can demand a divorce from me? I am the Alpha, and you are nothing but a stupid omega. How dare you challenge me?"

The air was electric with tension as Jasper's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze burning with fury.

I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized I had crossed a line.

"Guards!" Jasper growled, his voice dripping with venom. “Take this omega away and teach her a lesson, fifty strokes of the cane should remind her of her place”
