Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 130 Through My Fingers

***Ethan’s POV

Finding Rosalie was like chasing a moving target Every time I felt I was close to her and the baby, she

would change locations, and then it felt like she had slipped through my fingers again, and I would have

to trail her and move again

However, this time, I felt like I was finally getting close enough to her that I was going to catch up to her

She couldn’t feel me the way I could feel her, the way I could feel my baby, anyway

We arrived in the village of Rustic early one morning after a long night of traveling. I felt that the baby

was nearby. His presence was so strong, I could physically feel the tug of my child on me, and I was

eager to have a look around to see if I could put all of this behind us once and for all.

Visions of a happy reunion danced before my eyes, even though I realized Rosalie might not be pleased

to see me initially. I would find a way to make her understand that I was there to take her and the baby

under my umbrella of safety and make sure that nothing could happen to them.

Not only did I love them and want to be with them, but I also needed to ensure that nothing could ever

happen to them

Rustic was a small village. I let Richard and the rest of the men get settled before I went about going to

search for Rosalie. I knew she wasn’t right here in this small town, but could still feel that the baby was

pulling me to an area nearby, and my reconnaissance had told me that there were several cottages in

the woods not too far away.

Perhaps she was staying in one of those hidden homes?

“Alpha, there’s an inn in town. Most travelers would stay there,” Richard reported.

My stomach was twisted up so tight, I thought I might be sick. I had done a good job of hiding it all day,

but I knew what I needed to do to relieve the pain and discomfort.

I needed to find them.

“Richard,” I said, just as the sun was beginning to dip beneath the horizon, “I‘m going to check the

perimeter. Will you keep an eye on the situation here in the village and let me know via the mind–link if

anything changes?”

“Of course, sir, but....” Richard stopped speaking, but his eyebrows were nearly touching, he was so

concerned.

“What is it?” I asked him, not sure I wanted to hear anything he had to say.

“It‘s only... you clearly don‘t feel well: Why don‘t you stay here and rest? You‘ve had a couple of very

stressful days.” He gestured toward the home we’d commandeered as our headquarters. This would be

the first time in weeks we’d actually sleep in a house instead of a vehicle or a tent.

I shook my head. He had no way of knowing that the only way I could ever get any rest was to finally find

Rosalie and my child. “I‘ll be back soon enough, Richard. Just take care of the situation here,

understand?”

He nodded. “Yes, sir. I understand.”

That was all I needed to say, and then I headed out, following the pull within me as it tugged me along as

if a cord within me was being yanked by invisible hands, and I had no choice but to march along in a

specific direction, my feet moving of their own accord.

I’d seen enough in the war and in the rest of my life not to fear a single beast or man. However, running

through the trees in the dark, I was afraid.

I was terrified that she might be gone before I got there, or she might find a way to dissuade me from

taking her back

THOLOM couldn‘t picture myself leaving this place without that baby in my ore Mel Ronale of my side

A small cabin came into view in front of me, and I got the distinct feeling that my child was in there the

tension inside of me was so riveting, I felt like my entire body was being wrenched from inside of me I

paused outside to catch my breath and try to figure out what to say to her.

How was I going to make sure she didn’t just slam the door in my lace and run away?

it had been over a month since I had to leave Rosalie. Every day and night, I forced myself to focus on

what I could do and to bring an end to this war. Everything I‘d done was for this moment, so that I could

unite with my family again.

Vet here I was, less than a hundred yards from her. I could almost smell her sweet scent. I slowed down

and quieted my footfalls

As I was moving closer, step by step, staring at the cabin I was certain contained the very individuals I’d

been searching for, a frantic mindlink message from Richard entered my mind. “Alpha! We’ve just

received an urgent message from King James and Beta Talon!”

Richard, hold on, I only need fifteen minutes. I’ll be right back.’I tried not to let my irritation come through.

My family was night in front of me; nothing could stop me. Everything else could wait.

I was just about to disconnect from the mindlink before I heard his voice raise and his tone filled with

panic, ‘Alpha, the capital is under attack. King James, the queen, everyone is in danger!’

What?’ For a second, I found myself not able to comprehend the news.

The capital is under attack by Kal, Alpha! We don‘t know how, but the capital is in danger.‘

I hadn’t heard Richard sound this panicked before.

My mouth fell open as I finally grasped what Richard was saying.

How was that possible?! We’d pushed the enemy so far, and we were almost winning the war. How the

h*ll did they get to the capital?!

F*ck!

Rosalie was so close, right there in front of me. I just needed a little more time.…

Alpha? Where are you?

F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

I’d come this far, and I was so close to my family, I couldn‘t possibly turn around right now!

I’m in the woods,‘ I told Richard. ‘Get everyone ready.‘

My voice might sound calm, but my thoughts would not be more chaotic. I wanted to rush over and grab

the two people who were most important to me and never let them go again.

However, how could I possibly take them with me to the capital, knowing how dangerous that could be?

With a war unfolding in the capital, and everything in chaos, taking Rosalie and the baby there wouldn’t

be fair,

It wouldn’t be right
