Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

The days seemed to pass in a blur after I found out about Ethan‘s secret plan. And as much as I wanted t

o lay here day after day and cry my eyes out–

I couldn‘t. Vicky and I had talked things over since I told her what I knew. She told me she wouldn‘t say

anything to Talon, but I had a feeling she did, because Talon stopped coming to check on me, and when

I did pass him, he wouldn‘t look me in the eye anymore. “Rosalie?” Georgia‘s voice intoned softly as she

walked into my apartment. Forcing a smile on my face, I turned to

her. “Hey. What‘s going on?” “I was coming to see if you wanted to go down for lunch. I‘m meeting Vicky.”

I knew very well that Ethan didn‘t want me to leave my room, and as much as I didn‘t want to disobey hi

m… I didn‘t care at that moment.

“That sounds wonderful.” I replied, faking cheerfulness and following her out of the apartment, shutting th

e door behind me. If I was going to die, then I was going to do it on my own

terms, and live the rest of my life in the way I wanted to. I wasn‘t going to allow Ethan to make me feel le

ss than I was. Walking down the halls I watched as Talon approached us from the opposite direction. His

eyes landed on us as he turned to me. “What are you doing?” “She is–” Georgia started before I cut her

off. “I am going to eat lunch with friends. Is there a problem with that?” I quickly said, staring at him. Talon

seemed surprised by my outburst. His mouth opened and closed. “You‘re not supposed to leave your ro

om…” “Why, because Ethan said so? I‘m pregnant, Talon. I want food and company. Both of which are in

the cafe downstairs.”

With those words, I didn‘t wait to hear Talon‘s reply, but simply looped my arm through Georgia‘s and star

ted walking off with her. “What in the hell was that?” Georgia asked, surprised by the way I‘d acted.

Sighing, I turned to her, letting a small smile cross my lips. “As you would say… screw them.” Georgia bu

rst into laughter as we continued

walking. “I knew I would teach you something useful eventually. I like it –

a new Rosalie. It suits you.” 3 I wasn‘t too confident that it did; in fact, I hated acting that way toward Tal

on. But the depth of his betrayal hurt. I knew that he‘d tried to stand on my side that night, and he was du

ty–

bound to obey Ethan; but the fact he had known for so long. It hurt. As I walked into the cafe, I refused to

let anyone intimidate me. I held my head high and ignored the whispers of the people around me. Even

glimpsing Madalynn‘s face on the far side of the room wouldn‘t stop me from enjoying my

lunch with Georgia and Vicky, “Rosalie?” Vicky said in shock as I took my seat across from her at the tabl

e. “Hey, Georgia invited me I hope that‘s okay” “Of course it‘s okay. I just didn‘t think Ethan would let you

leave the room.” Georgia chuckled, shaking her head. Vicky turned to her, confused. “What?” “We ran int

o Talon in the hallway, and, in not so many words, she basically said ‘f*ck Ethan‘.”

Taking Control —––

The explanation Georgia gave was more intense than what I had actually said, but it was enough to mak

e Vicky give me a questionable look. “I‘m living how I want to, remember?” I said to her, raising a brow in

question. “Of course, if that‘s what you want,” she replied simply. “Now, shall we have appetizers?” I was

thankful that Vicky was quick to change the subject. The last thing that I wanted was to

continue having the conversation on what I was and wasn‘t supposed to do. I had been quiet and timid m

y entire life, always scared of everyone around me. For once, I wanted to do something for myself. Plus,

what was Ethan going to do about it? I was pregnant with his child.

**Talon‘s POV Never did I expect for Rosalie to speak to me in the way that she had. I had tried not to

act indifferent towards her, but it was hard when I couldn‘t even look her in the eye without feeling the gui

lt of what Ethan was planning.

I had betrayed her, and she knew.

As I walked out of my room, carrying the file that Ethan wanted, I watched him exit Rosalie‘s room with p

anic in his

eyes. “Alpha, are you okay?” “Rosalie‘s missing… send the guards,” he ordered. I quickly shook my hea

d. “She isn‘t missing, Alpha.” His eyes turned towards me with a dark and angry glare. “Where the hell is

she, then!” he roared, as if the world was ending and he needed someone to lash all of his anger

out on.

Taking a deep breath, I sighed. “I just passed her and Georgia in the hall. They

were meeting Vicky in the cafe for lunch.” “You let her go!?” he yelled again, his fists clenched as if he wa

nted to hit me. “She was ordered to stay in her room for her safety!” I saw people turning down the hallw

ay and walked over to Rosalie‘s room, opening the door

and gesturing for him to go in to finish the conversation in private. When

we were both inside, I shut the door behind me and turned to face him.

“What do you want me to do, Ethan?! She‘s pregnant. I can‘t manhandle her. And she was pretty adaman

even going as far to say, in not so many words, ‘screw you, I‘m going‘.” “Excuse me?” Ethan replied

as if he hadn‘t heard what I had just said. Pinching my brow, I sighed. “Ethan.. She is pregnant, and has g

on killing her, what harm will it do to let her have some type of freedom?” “She is f*cking pregnant, Talon!

something I had not done since we were boys. Yelling at your Alpha just wasn‘t something you did,

My raised voice seemed to shock him more than anything, at first. He just stood there with anger in

his eyes, unsure of what to say to me next. Finally, he spoke “She wouldn‘t see or talk to me for days, and
