Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

I don‘t know if this is a good idea.” I glanced toward Vicky, unsure. Another dinner… Why did they keep

forcing me to be in their

presence? The last time I went to dinner, it was a disaster. She smiled, gripping my hand with hers. “It‘s

going to be fine. Stop worrying so much.” “You said that last

time,” I replied, “I have a bad feeling about this.“. Vicky had outdone herself again while dressing me. M

y long hair had been curled and pinned up in a partial updo. My makeup was done to perfection, with s

mall bits of blush highlighting my cheeks and giving me a more innocent

look. Even the long formal gown she picked was beautiful. Its deep blue color was a contrast

to Ethan‘s light colored eyes. Those same eyes that I fixed in my mind‘s eye every night before I went t

o sleep. A part of me felt

safe and protected with him around. But tonight something felt off. Something about this dinner didn‘t fe

el safe, and I wasn‘t sure what it was… but I knew I was going to find out. By the time Vicky and I reach

ed the doors to the grand hall,

Talon was already there. He greeted us with a smile, and I couldn‘t help but notice how dashing he look

ed in what he was wearing. “Talon, you look amazing,” I said, smiling politely at him. A chuckle fell

from his lips as he smiled. “I could say the same about you as well. Radiant as always, Miss Rosalie–

shall we go inside?” en Nodding my head, I took his offered arm and followed behind him with

Vicky at my back. She had tried to be highly reassuring, but I wasn‘t feeling as confident as I had other

times. All the rumors I heard about the Alpha King, and the man he was, flooded my

mind, and my nerves refused to

allow me to ignore my fears. The boisterous laughter of the people within filled the massive hall and bo

unced around the large vaulted ceiling, as

if happiness was the only thing on their mind. The men and women in front of me all turned and offered

their smiles. I didn‘t recognize any of these people, and I supposed I should just assume they were var

ious other allies. As the talk continued, I realized I was almost invisible in their conversations, and that

was something I was pleased with. I didn‘t want to be part of

the discussion. I noticed Ethan‘s gaze sweep over me as we got closer to the front of the hall. A dark, lu

sty look seemed to fill it. The men all stopped in their

tracks to look at us. Vicky and I both bowed in respect to the Alphas – and the Alpha King.

Ethan‘s gaze turned and swept over me as we got closer, and I watched as a dark lusty look seemed to

fill him.

“Ethan!” The king‘s hearty

chuckle filled the room once more, “you didn‘t tell me she‘s so lovely” . I was taken aback by the king‘s

statement.

Quickly he made his

way towards me. “Stand, let me look at you.” | My eyes remained looking at the floor as I let him approa

ch me. Slowly he lifted my chin and

– commanded my gaze to fall upon him. He looked very similar to Ethan – handsome, graceful, but

the few mild wrinkles on his face made him seem more approachable

than I imagined a king would be. “You picked well,” he commented, looking at Ethan with a

satisfactory smile. As Ethan stepped closer to me, the king nodded and let go of my chin. He turned aro

und

and rejoined the conversation with Romero‘s group. “Rosalie…” Ethan‘s low voice pulled my attention b

ack from the king to face him, “let‘s take a seat.” Nodding my head, I

took the next few steps at Ethan‘s side towards the large table, where I was seated upon the most lavis

h of golden chairs I had ever seen

in my life. There was only one thing my eyes fell over that I had hoped wouldn‘t be present–

Madalynn. A subtle smirk was plastered to her face as she

stared at me, and it left me beyond confused the entire time I was eating dinner. Every time I looked up,

her eyes were on me, and a grin of pure pleasure was etched on her face. “So Ethan, I have to admit t

hat you were lucky to obtain such a beautiful breeder.”

My eyes shot up and straight toward‘ the king, shock written across my face.

Ethan frowned at his king with narrowed eyes. Apparently, he didn‘t expect to hear what the king just

said either.

“My king,” he started to reply, but the king continued, “Ethan, it isn‘t a big deal. Many people have used

breeders before.” He looked around the table, but, for some reason, not

at me. I had a feeling that although

the king mentioned me, I wasn‘t going to be his topic. “However,” he continued, “we do need to talk abo

ut something.” I watched as Ethan‘s fist clenched under the table, and then very quickly relaxed on his l

ap. He still had a decent smile on his

face. If I hadn‘t been so close with him over the past few months, I wouldn‘t have recognized the anger

lurking beneath his slightly furrowed brow. “What does his majesty need to speak

with me about?” Ethan said in a

low voice. “Couldn‘t it wait till later, in a more private venue?“. “Nonsense!” The king replied with a smile

, “we are all allies here– friends, if you will. Plus, this involves Alpha Romero, and, to be honest, I think

you will be happy with what I have to say in the long run.” “Indeed.” Romero replied softly with a smile. “

Wonderful news.” My eyes took in the men around me, and there was no way whatever they were goin

g to say was wonderful news. Ethan knew it, I knew it… Even Vicky looked at me with worry and conce

rn. Something bad was about to happen. I knew I shouldn‘t have come down for dinner. “Ethan, it‘s abo

ut time you take a Luna for your pack,” The king said. Everyone fell silent. My eyes went to Ethan‘s, but

there was nothing written in them. “I don‘t need a Luna, your majesty. I have a

breeder to provide me with an heir.” I had heard many times that he didn‘t want a Luna or to be with an

yone. Maybe subconsciously, it led

S

me to think that I would be the only woman that he had a relationship with even if that relationship
