Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 25


    Therge formal dining hall was decorated in red, ck, and gold. A band was ying soft music in the


    background, and at the other end of the room, a beautiful firece made the whole space warm and w


    eing


    The room was


    crowded with guests already, men in suits and women in evening dresses. They scattered around, soci


    alizing in small groups. Vicky was right – I didn‘t overdress, Servers were busyying down the food


    ted in delicate dishes on the dining table. I couldn‘t stop admiring everything. For all dinner parties I


    could remember, I was the one busy serving the guests, and never had the leisure to really enjoy


    the event. “Alpha, here‘s Miss Rosalie.” Talon had brought me straight to Ethan. Ethan‘s


    blue eyes locked


    on me. I saw surprise in them, but after that flicker, I couldn‘t discern any other emotion. Was he not ple


    ased with how I looked? “Alpha…” I said softly. Then, noticing the others in the room. Quickly I bowed


    my head to him, and then did likewise to Alpha Romero next to him. “Why, don‘t you look stunning,” Ro


    mero said, stepping forward with a smile. “Absolutely stunning.” His words


    wereplimentary, but I was still very ufortable around him. The fearful shiver that crept up my


    spine had me hesitating


    in my approach. “Join us,” Ethan said, and held out his hand. I looked at Vicky and Talon, and they both


    smiled, giving me the nudge I needed to ept the offer. My hand slid into his.


    This was the first time I had felt his hand in mine. His palm was dry and warm, and as soon as he held


    mine tight, my nervousness about being around Romero faded away.


    Keeping myselfposed, I tried to remember what Vicky had said –


    just be myself. A scoff came from Madaylnn as she


    looked me up and down. Her re made her distaste for me clear. “We were still talking…” she grumbl


    ed. However, she seemed to be much more politepared to this morning. To my surprise, she didn‘tN?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    finish her sentence. Instead, she bit her lips and managed to put on a smile. Ethan gave her a nce,


    and then turned back to me. “The conversation can continue over dinner.” “I agree. I would hate to hav


    e such lovely women eating cold food because of us. Let us sit down,” Romero added, smiling at me.


    “After you,” Ethan replied to Romero, and then gestured for me to follow. I followed behind Ethan as he


    pulled my chair out for me. After I


    took my seat, I realized that he had sat me near the head of the table – next to him.


    My eyes fell down. I ced my hands in myp and waited until the others took their ce. Talon took


    a seat on the other side of me, and Vicky next to him.


    “Alpha Ethan, thank you again


    for your hospitality. We very much enjoyed our stay here. I look forward to working together with you.”


    Romero raised his ss. “Cheers.”


    Unwanted Questions “My pleasure.” Ethan replied, nodding his head. I watched as Romero‘s eyes turn


    ed towards me. “I am d you are able to join us, Miss Rosalie.” Romero


    ‘s words seemed polite, but I just couldn‘t shrug off the unsettling feeling he gave me. As we settled in a


    nd the food began to be served, I started to feel trapped in a social situation in which I didn‘t belong. “I


    have to admit, Ethan, your pack is quite


    lovely,” Romero said after a moment of silence. “Thank you. I have been trying to keep


    up with the changing times,” Ethan replied. If my memory served, Ethan had


    spoken more words tonight than in all the time I had ever been with him added up.


    Romero chuckled at what Ethan said before his gaze slid over me again.


    “So, Rosalie… How did you manage to find yourself in the Drogomor pack?” His


    question caught mepletely off guard. But, remembering how to be an Alpha‘s daughter, I smiled po


    litely at him. “I was… saved by Alpha Ethan. He has been kind enough to allow me to stay


    in his pack until I am well enough to leave.”


    I wasn‘tpletely lying, but at the same time, I didn‘t want


    to tell him something I shouldn‘t either.” Ethan also tilted his head. Although I couldn’t tell whether he wa


    I knew he was listening.


    Then I looked at Talon, whose


    eyes met mine, and a small smile formed across my lips as he gently nodded his head in approval of wh


    for when you leave?” Romeros asked. I stopped eating my food and looked


    up to him again. “One day, I hope to be able to do some traveling. There is so much of the world I wish t


    but of course, that will be with permission from Alpha Ethan.” I looked towards Ethan. Seeing no negativ


    to read, and my books give me ideas of ces yet to explore. One


    day, I hope to be able to see those things for real. There is still so much I know nothing of…” A cold feeli

    eyes. There was something in his gaze that made me flinch. “…

    said. “Oh, very interesting.” Romero said, sipping his drink. “I have never known a book to make me wan


    to visit somewhere…” Madalynn said with a sarcastic tone. I turned to her with a smile. “I‘m


    sure the books you are reading are equally entertaining in other respects.”


    She just red in response to my words.


    “Madalynn isn‘t much of a reader,” Romero replied for his daughter with a chuckle. “But if you happen to

    although it faded away


    as soon as other people turned their attention to her. “That may be so, dear, but unfortunately, etiquette


    should hold.” Vicky‘s voice rang clear, and as I looked her way, I saw the shocked expression upon Talo

    was firm in his stance on the situation. I lowered my gaze, lifted my ss to my mouth to cover up a relie
