Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

A Journey with Him When Talon told me about going to the capital, I was worried. At least within Ethan‘s

pack I was safe, and I had gotten used to my routine schedule. I didn‘t have much of an idea what would

happen in the capital, but I had a feeling I would need to interact with the Poldesse pack, which really

made me nervous. Sighing, I zipped up the third bag I‘d been forced to pack and turned to face Vicky, wh

o was still going through my closet “Is all this really necessary?” I asked her. “I mean, they aren‘t going to

want me around. I‘m no one.” I was once again being forced to do something I didn‘t want to do. I was a

breeder… Not a tagalong sex slave.

“Yes, Rosalie,” She replied throwing more stuff

into a duffle bag, “it‘s all necessary.” I sit on the bed, staring at the ceiling. “Maybe you can get him to cha

nge his mind. I don‘t want

to go, Vicky. It isn‘t safe for me there.” “Rosalie, you were ordered to do something. I can‘t change his mi

nd–

and honestly, he hasn‘t been in the best temper lately, so I wouldn‘t want to upset him,” Vicky mumbled.

I looked at her

for a moment, and then we both let out a small laugh. “When is he ever in a good mood?” I

commented. “He has a permanent frown

on his face.” “Well, when he‘s bedding you, I suppose.” Vicky replied with a quick tongue. I stared at her i

n disbelief, a blush spreading over my cheeks. “Don‘t say it like that!” I suddenly laughed harder. “It soun

ds so bad when you say it like that.” There was a soft knock on the door, and Talon‘s head

peeked around the corner, a smile on his face. “Are you ready, Rosalie?” he asked. Vicky scoffed.

“Not going to ask about me?” “Oh, I have no doubt that you are ready. You love the capital. You probably

packed as soon as I told you yesterday,” Talon chuckled, causing Vicky to roll her eyes. “Yes, I think

we are ready,” I responded. “Although I don‘t know why I need so much.” Talon gestured for

two warriors to enter. They grabbed the bags Vicky had been filling and carried them out of the room to g

o load them into the vehicles. “Well, it‘s time to go. Vicky, you will ride with me, and Rosalie, the

Alpha has requested that you ride with him.”

S

This news left me slightly speechless, but then again, part of me almost expected it. “Guess that means

no conversation for the entire ride,” I commented. “Better grab my book.” As I stood up, I saw Talon‘s sho

cked expression. “Talon?” I said, confused. “Was that sarcasm?” He laughed, still looking

shocked, “Yes, it was. She is coming out of her shell more.” Vicky giggled.

Even I couldn‘t help but be surprised with myself. When did I start to feel so comfortable

that I could | make jokes with the members of the fearsome Drogomor pack?

pod numere A Journey with Him We headed down to the

main hall, where we saw Madalynn and her father‘s beta Damian standing at the bottom of the stairs, wai

ting. Her eyes darted towards me and a sneer spread across her face just as Ethan and Romero walked

from Ethan‘s office. “She‘s coming?” Madalynn quickly asked. “I had hoped to ride with you, Alpha Ethan.

” Her whiney voice made me cringe, and I stopped with Vicky, turning to look at her before I let out a very

subtle sigh. Turning back toward the others, I saw Ethan‘s eyes upon me and his brow raised, and

I knew I had been caught showcasing my irritation. I lowered

my head immediately, avoiding Ethan‘s gaze. Vicky struggled to hold a laugh back, quickly covering her

mouth with her

hand. “If you want,Rosalie can ride with me, so you and Madalynn can get better acquainted.” Romero q

uickly tossed out. “I appreciate your offer, but Rosalie rides with me.” Ethan guestered for me to follow hi

m, completely ignoring Madalynn‘s request. I stepped towards him, and he quickly took my hand, leading

me out the front door. He got in the car and took his seat. I was hesitant at first, but quickly followed

after him into the car, sitting across from him.

As the door closed, I held my breath. His scent surrounded me, and

my intoxicating desire to bare myself to

him became something surreal. I knew that wasn‘t going to happen, though, and I was ashamed of myse

lf for even thinking about it. Ethan didn‘t look happy about the current

circumstances, and became cold and distant toward me as soon as the car started to move. He kept him

self occupied, working through paperwork and going through his phone.

After one hour of trying to read in the car, I finally gave up. I just couldn‘t focus when he was so close. “I‘v

e never been to the capital.” I said to myself, looking out the window. As expected, not a word came from

him. He ignored me and continued what he was doing. “Rosalie, what did you think would happen?‘ I ch

astised myself inwardly.

There was no doubt that I was helplessly attracted to him, no matter how much I

tried to deny it. Hie every move, every word, and every look affected how I felt. But what was I to him? La

st night he was sleeping on top of me and having sex with me, being overly passionate. And

then now, today, he was as distant as usual. I would never get what I dreamt of from him. After

all, even if he was passionate and hot as fire last night–

even if he acted differently when he was in bed with me, and even if I was more than a breeder to him…

so what?

I was, at most, someone there to fill his physical need. When his

mind was clear, he was again as cold as ice.

And honestly, the greater the contrast in his attitude, the

more my heart ached. “Alpha, the concierge at the capital called ahead to schedule a tour for your entoura

A sigh left Ethan‘s lips, and I looked up to see him pinch his brow. “No. This isn‘t a leisure trip.”

“Yes, Alpha,” the driver replied, not hesitating to follow his order. of course not, I thought to myself. I sighe

gaze. “Is there a problem?” he quickly asked. I raised a brow and shook my head “no” without speaking a

the only reason I brought you with me was to make sure you didn‘t try to

pull a fast one. I don‘t have time to entertain you.” His words cut me deep, and as quickly as he spoke, he

curled up in the soft confines of the leather, seat trying to hold back

the tears and emotions I wanted to let spill. I had to learn to shut them off. All the emotions I felt. Looking o

my position. ‘Rosalie, you‘re just a breeder,‘ I told myself. ‘Get it together.

Time went by quickly when I finally was able to dive into my book, and before I

knew it, the driver was letting Ethan know that we were close to the capital‘s gates. “Alpha, ten more minu
