All Chapters of Alpha Zane’s Surrogate: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Naya’s POVI sit on the edge of the hospital bed like I’m afraid it might disappear beneath me if I move too fast.My son is warm in my arms.So small. So real.His tiny fingers curl and uncurl against my shawl as if he’s already trying to understand the world he just arrived into. His eyes…those eyes… hits me every time I look at him. They are mine. Exactly mine. But his hair… soft, dark, stubborn little strands that refuse to lie flat… that part is Zane.It’s almost cruel how perfectly he’s split between us.Beautiful in a way that hurts.I trace a finger lightly along his cheek, and he makes a tiny sound.. barely a breath, barely life announcing itself. And still, it shakes something loose inside me.My mother should have been here.That thought comes without warning, sharp and clean like glass slipping under skin.She should have walked into this ward with that proud smile she always wore when she was trying not to cry. She should have looked at me like I had done something miracu

Naya’s POV The moment I stepped into the house, the memories came rushing back harder than before. It wasn’t just a feeling anymore. It was vivid. Painfully vivid. I could see my mother. She was walking into a massive house with little me in her arms, smiling softly while my father hovered around her excitedly. The same way Zane had been hovering around me since we arrived. The entire place had been decorated beautifully to welcome her home. Flowers. Lights. Maids lined up in rows. Voices chanting greetings with smiles on their faces. Everything looked so similar that it made my chest tighten painfully. It felt like I was standing in two places at once. The present and the past colliding together inside my head. I stared around the grand hall quietly while those memories continued flashing against reality like shadows layered over each other. My father’s smile. My mother’s tired but happy face. Little me reaching toward the chandeliers overhead. Then… “Hey… Naya?”

Zane’s POVSilence swallowed the room whole.But Zane could see it.Right there in her eyes.The hesitation.The conflict.The part of her that clearly didn’t want him to walk away.And that alone drove him insane.Because if she still wanted him…Then why was she fighting so hard to push him away?His brows furrowed deeply as his gaze searched hers.Not casually.Not lightly.He looked at her like he was trying to rip open every wall she had built around herself and drag the truth out with his bare hands.Something was wrong.Terribly wrong.And whatever it was had been eating her alive for weeks.His breathing slowed slightly as his eyes dropped to her lips.The memory of her kissing him moments ago flashed through his head again.The softness.The desperation.The way she had melted into him before pulling away like she’d committed a crime.His wolf stirred violently inside him.Wanting her.Needing her.This time, he couldn’t stop himself.He stepped closer slowly before leaning d

Valkyra’s POVRain battered against my skin as I stood frozen staring at Katherine.For a second I thought I was hallucinating.The same Katherine who had vanished after the chaos surrounding Naya’s disappearance now stood before me covered in mud, blood and rainwater, her silver-blonde hair sticking to her face while the bodies of Moonveil guards bled out around her feet.“You…” I whispered.Katherine tilted her head slightly, her lips curling into a cold smile.“You look terrible.”My jaw clenched instantly.The earlier exhaustion from escaping the dungeon still weighed heavily on my body, but seeing her awakened something ugly inside me.Hatred.The woman before me had ruined me almost as much as Naya had.Her manipulations.Her lies.Her constant whispering in my ear about becoming Luna.About becoming powerful.And now look where it had gotten me.Thrown into a dungeon like some common criminal.I scoffed bitterly.“You’ve got a lot of nerve showing up before me.”Katherine cross

Valkyra’s POVCassius being dead did not move me.Not even a little.I felt no sympathy.No sorrow nor even an ounce of guilt.If anything, the news only meant one less obstacle standing in my way.One less greedy wolf trying to fight for power that was meant to belong to me.But of course I couldn’t show that.Not yet.Katherine was grieving.Broken.Vulnerable.And vulnerable people were easier to manipulate.I needed her angry, I wanted her to be desperate.Needed her believing we were somehow on the same side.Then when I had gotten everything I needed from her…I would eliminate her too.So instead of smiling the way I truly wanted to, I forced my expression to crack with fake emotion.“Dead?” I whispered shakily. “How?”Katherine slowly lowered herself onto the broken wooden chair inside the abandoned house.Rain battered against the roof overhead while the weak lantern between us flickered softly.Her face looked hollow.Drained.For the first time since meeting her, the powerf
