Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 40
Chapter 40 : Taking Control
The days seemed to pass in a blur after I found out about Ethan‘s secret n. And as much as I wante
d toy 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 stoppeding to check on me, and whe
n
I did pass him, he wouldn‘t look me in the eye anymore. “Rosalie?” Georgia‘s voice intoned softly as sh
e walked into my apartment. Forcing a smile on my face, I turned to
her. “Hey. What‘s going on?” “I wasing to see if you wanted to go down for lunch. I‘m meeting Vick
y.” I knew very well that Ethan didn‘t want me to leave my room, and as much as I didn‘t want to disobe
y him… I didn‘t care at that moment.
“That sounds wonderful.” I replied, faking cheerfulness and following her out of the apartment, shutting
the 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 l
ess than I was. Walking down the halls I watched as Talon approached us from the opposite direction.
His eyesnded 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 room…” “Why, because Ethan said so? I‘m pregnant, Talon. I want food andpany. Both of wh
ich 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 st
arted 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
burst intoughter 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 T
alon. But the depth of his betrayal hurt. I knew that he‘d tried to stand on my side that night, and he was
duty–
bound to obey Ethan; but the fact he had known for so long. It hurt. As I walked into the cafe, I refused t
o let anyone intimidate me. I held my head high and ignored the whispers of the people around me. Ev
en 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 ta
ble. “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 r
an into Talon in the hallway, and, in not so many words, she basically said ‘f*ck Ethan‘.”
Taking Control —––
The exnation Georgia gave was more intense than what I had actually said, but it was enough to m
ake Vicky give me a questionable look. “I‘m living how I want to, remember?” I said to her, raising a bro
w 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. Thest 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
my entire life, always scared of everyone around me. For once, I wanted to do something for myself. Pl
us, 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 g
uilt of what Ethan was nning.
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
panic in his
eyes. “Alpha, are you okay?” “Rosalie‘s missing… send the guards,” he ordered. I quickly shook my he
ad. “She isn‘t missing, Alpha.” His eyes turned towards me with a dark and angry re. “Where the hell
is she, then!” he roared, as if the world was ending and he needed someone tosh 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
wanted to hit me. “She was ordered to stay in her room for her safety!” I saw people turning down the h
allway 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 adama
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
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, an
