Sold as the Alpha King's Breeder
Chapter 31

I don't know if this is a good idea.” I glanced toward Vicky, unsure. Another dinner... Why did they ke presence? The last time I went to dinner, it was a disaster. She smiled, gripping my hand with hers. “I time,” I replied, “I have a bad feeling about this.”. Vicky had outdone herself again while dressing me 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 wen safe and protected with him around. But tonight something felt off. Something about this dinner did Talon was already there. He greeted us with a smile, and I couldn't help but notice how dashing he Ic 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 oth mind, and my nerves refused to

allow me to ignore my fears. The boisterous laughter of the people within filled the massive hall and if happiness was the only thing on their mind. The men and women in front of me all turned and offe the discussion. I noticed Ethan's gaze sweep over me as we got closer to the front of the hall. A dark, 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 “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 Quickly he made his

way towards me. “Stand, let me look at you.” I My eyes remained looking at the floor as I let him app - 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 and rejoined the conversation with Romero's group. “Rosalie...” Ethan's low voice pulled my attentior 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 la 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 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 jus said either.

“My king,” he started to reply, but the king continued, “Ethan, it isn't a big deal. Many people have u: 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 face. If I hadn't been so close with him over the past few months, I wouldn't have recognized the anc 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 sr 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 smi breeder to provide me with an heir.” I had heard many times that he didn't want a Luna or to be witt S

me to think that I would be the only woman that he had a relationship with even if that relationship was just a master-breeder

However, he was an alpha, and of course, he would find a mate or Luna, and settle down with that w This realization hurt me way more than I expected. Not only because that would mean I would have or 1 would be cast out, and never

able to see Ethan again, but to think he would be intimate with someone else... My fingers clenched you, and you will make her your bride and Luna. Do I make myself clear on

this?” “Sire... that wouldn't be fair to Miss Madalynn,” Ethan said through gritted teeth. “l won't

be able to love her or show her the affection she deserves.” “One can never say “never. Things can ct children. I'm sure such a fine lady will change your heart over time.” The king raised his glass for Mac smile. “I would have no problem giving her a home. She would be well taken care of in my pack.” Fez came in more fiercely. As Romero glanced over towards me I saw the sinister, lust—

ridden heat that was filling him. “No,” Ethan said firmly. But he seemed to run out of justifications, and could not argue any more. “I need time to think about this, majesty,” he demurred.

“Is that okay?” The king's eyes looked to me once more, and a sigh left his lips. “Very

well. You may have tonight to learn to accept this,

but as of tomorrow, you are engaged to Madalynn.” The king was done discussing

the situation, and quickly

moved on to other topics. It felt like I spent the rest of the evening in fog. I couldn’t remember muck the man I had foolishly pretended was only mine during the time I had spent in the Drogomor pack would have a bride. I couldn't breathe. I knew how ridiculous I was for thinking this way, but I just cc Tears rolled down my cheeks as I pushed open the large wooden

door to our room and stepped inside. I just wanted to be alone, and given that

Ethan hadn't come up after me— I knew I was.
