“Have you engaged in s****l intercourse?” Jason’s inquiry was, as per usual, direct. Talia was astonished and had a look of horror. What was his motivation for enquiring about her virginity? Did he try to tarnish her dignity like Liam had tarnished his cousin’s? His eyes had shifted to a deeper hue than before. She gazed at him in terror while he awaited her reply.
“Yes,” she was unable to evade his inquiry. Her reply instilled a feeling of relaxation within his chest. Lamba emitted a growl of pleasure. Jason and his wolf had previously deliberated about their requirements from this female.
“I require your assistance, and if you consent, I will preserve your family and the remnants of this pack.”
“Indeed?” Talia was astonished. He had ultimately devised a solution. Jason was prepared to release her family. What were his desires regarding her? She experienced simultaneous feelings of optimism and fear towards him. She was unaware of what he was about to enquire. She required consensus on a matter.
What are your expectations of me? Her voice like a whisper. Jason glided his hands over her fragile lips.
“Become my surrogate,” Jason said.
“What?” Talia gazed at Jason with astonished, incredulous eyes as though he were a marvel. His substitute?! She had misconstrued the direction of this situation. She believed he intended to tarnish her honour by enquiring about her virginity; but, his subsequent remarks astonished and overwhelmed her.
“Do you wish for me to serve as your surrogate?”
“Had she misunderstood him initially?” He planned to utilise the daughter of an adversary as a surrogate. This was his condition for permitting her family and pack to survive?
“Indeed,” Jason replied, savouring the invaluable expression on her face in response to his proposal. He observed her quivering hand placed on her chest as she candidly confessed to her virginity. She sensed his insatiable look over her body as though he were undressing her.
“However, what is the rationale?” She had confusion. Surrogacy was exceptionally uncommon in the werewolf realm. She had heard of it among humans, but never among werewolves.
“I require an heir,” Jason stated, offering his hand to help her stand.
The pack had experienced tranquilly for more than three months subsequent to the rejections of Opora and Jason. However, in the imaginations of individuals, tranquilly had merely become synonymous with horror. Lucas would address any issues with the pack, provided they were not substantial, such as renegade threats.
The pack members were too scared to even approach Jason. He need sufficient time to soothe his mind, heart, and wolf; otherwise, he jeopardised unleashing his repressed fury upon others. He may have commenced the slaughter of his own pack members.
Over time, Jason mastered both his intellect and his wolf. He rejoined the pack, reinstating his Alpha duties; nevertheless, the elders promptly pressured him to sire an heir upon recognising their access to their Alpha once more.
His grandfather had recommended that he select a designated partner. This was the sole method they perceived for him to have progeny, which accounted for the marriage proposals he got from the daughters of Alphas from other esteemed packs. Nevertheless, he had declined to permit any other woman into his life.
All the packs sought a link and aimed to establish a relationship with the Sothis Star Pack, and a marriage represented a significant advancement in that endeavour. However, they all encountered disillusionment.
No one could convince Jason to marry, and no one possessed the confidence to address him directly on the matter. Lucas was urged to persuade his brother to reconsider his decision, as Jason would only heed his counsel.
Lucas requested that everyone cease pestering his brother with the selection of a mate and the production of an heir, since it was both irritating and onerous. He had witnessed his brother’s frequent suffering and distress, hence he would not expose him to another woman capable of breaking his heart like Opora had.
Jason saw the necessity of producing an heir to perpetuate his lineage, however he abhorred the idea of marrying another duplicitous and deceitful woman. He undoubtedly endured lethal glares and derision from his grandfather, yet he remained indifferent. An Alpha cannot be compelled by anyone!
Following the rejection, Jason’s demeanour underwent a significant transformation. He was increasingly irate, defiant, and belligerent.
However, he continued to hold the same respect and esteem for his grandfather in his heart, so it was solely the older of that pack who would incessantly urge him towards marriage and procreation. Harassment that he overtly disregarded. The elderly man had become fatigued by observing the obstinacy of his twin grandsons.
“Do you require an heir?” What is the status of your companion? Talia contemplated. She sought to be candid, as she had only encountered accounts of his violent and lethal nature, although his companion had never been referenced. Upon her utterance of the term “mate,” Jason experienced a sensation of nausea. Talia observed his expression harden and recognised that her enquiries had vexed him.
“I lack one,” he said as if her question had pierced directly into his tender injury.
“You stated that you do not harm females or pups,” she recalled his own remarks.
“Affirmative,” he responded, interpreting her facial expression.
“I regret to inform you that I cannot offer myself for sale.” “I lack the courage,” her heart raced. Surrogacy was not an option for her. It would merely transform into a curse. She was acutely cognisant that if her father discovered the agreement she forged with Alpha Jason, he would brand her a renegade.
