Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 18


    I could try again.. She said it could still happen… “How many more times…” I knew my voice could bar


    ely be heard, but I still asked. Then I


    regretted my question immediately. How could she possibly answer that question? The memories of his


    touch flooded my mind, and the idea he would touch me again made my heart race.

    Estre hesitated for a moment. “Well… It depends. But, as many as it takes.”


    The past few minutes had been like riding on a roller coaster. I was heartbroken and scared one mome


    nt, and was filled with hope the next.


    wa


    Then… the thought of him bedding me again… I had tried not to think about that night, but found mysel


    f more than oncete at night wanting to touch myself to the memories he and I had created. I felt torn


    between the emptiness of not being pregnant and the desire to be with him again. “May I go back


    to my room?” I had a lot to think about, and one thing for sure was that I couldn‘t give up. I had to


    remain hopeful that I could fulfill this for him –


    and for myself. Both Estre and Talon were quiet for a moment before Estre nodded. “Of course.”


    Sliding from the table, I steadied myself as I waited for Talon.


    He held the door open and led me out of the room, back toward


    the packhouse. He didn‘t say a word, but I knew this wasn‘t the greatest news for him. “Sorry…” I said,


    keeping my eyes lowered to the floor, unable to look at him. “I‘m sorry that you have to deliver the bad


    news to the Alpha. I didn‘t mean to be such a burden…” He stopped in front of me, and


    his voice was calm. “Miss Rosalie, this wasn‘t your fault.” He paused


    for a moment, then added, “just follow Estre‘s order and do your


    best. Please excuse me now — I need to return to the training field.” I looked at him with


    appreciation in my eyes, nodding my head. As he closed the door of my room, I seemed to hear a very


    light sigh from him, one that I couldn‘t quite understand.


    It was a sigh of relief.


    **Talon‘s POV


    I stood in front of Rosalie‘s closed door and took a deep breath. A sigh left my


    lips as I looked up to the ceiling trying to clear my head. Now I had to go see Ethan –


    and I hated to deliver bad news. Turning from Rosalie‘s room, I made my way down the stairs towards


    the main floor of the packhouse where his office was. I knew Ethan had had meetings all morning, beca


    use I had been within them as well.


    I knocked on the door and waited for him to answer,


    “Come in.”


    A New ns


    His firm voice sounded preupied, but as I entered he looked up at me. His expression turned from ir


    ritated to inquisitive. “Talon, you have news?”


    “Yes, Alpha, I do.” Hesitating for a moment, I stepped forward and handed him the paper I had gotten fr


    om Estre.


    He looked over it for a second before his brows narrowed. “She isn‘t pregnant?” “No, she isn‘t,” I replie


    d reluctantly, He stared at me.


    One second, two seconds…


    “I paid for a BREEDER and she isn‘t PREGNANT!” Ethan roared in anger, tossing the paper aside. “Wh


    at the F*CK am I supposed to do with a girl that can‘t f*cking conceive?!”


    “It was one time, Ethan.”


    His eyes darted towards me.


    “Excuse me, beta?” he growled, and I know calling


    him by his name in this situation pissed him off. But he was overreacting. This wasn‘t like him. Rosalie


    probably heard the outburst. Poor girl — hopefully she didn‘t hear what he said.


    I took my time to pour him a ss of whiskey before making my exnation.


    “You didn‘t do the act during the best time to conceive. They had to wait till after the first time to get a s


    ense of when she would be ready. That was her first–


    ever heat, and it wasn‘t one she naturally went through. They medicated her to put her into heat –


    don‘t look at me, I‘m just telling you what the doctor said.” I watched as he slowly paced back and forth


    behind his desk as if he was thinking. A long sigh left him as he pinched the bridge of his nose. “So I n


    eed to keep trying?” He asked. “Yes. Estre said that Rosalie is fertile and able to conceive. You will ju


    st have to keep trying till she


    is pregnant.”


    Hearing what I said perked him up slightly, but I could still see irritation.


    “This was thest thing I needed to worry about on top of everything else, Talon.”


    “I know, but the good thing is that at least now we have a better timeframe,” I replied, trying to make


    him less angry about the situation.


    There was a moment of silence between us as Ethan took a seat in his chair and stared out the


    window


    “How did she take the news?” he asked. “Uh?” Did I hear what I heard? Was he actually asking how Ro


    salie handled it? 1 cleared my throat and tried to make myself not look surprised. “She was broken abo


    ut it, and cried. She looked so defeated, and asked to go to her room.” And apologized for something th


    at wasn‘t her fault. I watched Ethan closely after telling him the news, I wasn‘t sure why Ethan had want


    ed to know what Rosalie‘s reaction was, but I had known him for a long time, and something was rolling


    through his mind that he wasn‘t sharing.


    Then came the second outburst.


    “What the F*CK! I BOUGHT her, she couldn‘t conceive, so now


    I am the bad guy?!” Ethans snide and angry remark caught me off guard. I knew I shouldn‘t, but for som


    Did he realize that he was worried about what Rosalie thought of him?


    “No,” I needed to rify the situation as soon as I could, “I think you‘ve misunderstood.


    She was upset because she wanted to be pregnant… she wanted to be carrying your child, Ethan.”


    Ethan‘s eyes nced


    towards me again, and, this time, I could tell the anger in his eyes had faded quickly. His expression was


    There was a reason I was Ethan‘s beta. It wasn‘t just because I


    was the strongest of the warriors. I knew my friend better than anyone, and I was able to read his every


    “Then have Estre send me over the time frames,” he said, “and I will see that it‘s done.” Nodding


    my head, I turned to leave, but hesitated once more. “May I ask something?” Turning


    slightly, Ethan gestured impatiently for me to speak. “Once she conceives, may she be allowed to


    at least venture into the gardens? Chaperoned, of course. Estre says she needs the sunlight and


    fresh air.”


    Ethan


    hesitated for a moment, staring at me with a dark intense gaze. Then he said, “Very well.” I knew better


    time to rethink his answer and change his mind. Rosalie needed the fresh air –


    and she needed time that wasn‘t enclosed in four walls. The gardens at the back


    of the packhouse off the sunroom hadn‘t been properly tended to in a few months. I remembered how th


    on a mission.


    Rosalie needed something that was hers – and


    I knew that, if Ethan were in a better mind frame, he would have done this himself. Once upon a time, he


    not for the best reasons.


    “Manuel!” I called out. A dark skinned–


    man came from a green shed jogging towards me. “Yes, beta,” he said quickly, bowing his head, “how c

    the gardens going to shame wasn‘t his fault, but I wanted to help get them back in shape. “You know the


    at the back of the packhouse?” I asked slowly.


    His brows furrowed in confusion. “Yes, beta… I know which ones you mean…” “Good. I would


    like to see that they are


    cleaned up and restored. Can you make this a priority over the next few weeks?” “Of course, beta.” Turn


    her in. Not just about the pregnancy issue, but also about Georgia
