Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 25

The large formal dining hall was decorated in red, black, and gold. A band was playing soft music in the background, and at the other end of the room, a beautiful fireplace made the whole space warm and w elcoming

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 busy laying down the food plated 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 were complimentary, but I was still very uncomfortable 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 accept the offer. My hand slid into his. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

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 myself composed, I tried to remember what Vicky had said – just be myself. A scoff came from Madaylnn as she looked me up and down. Her glare made her distaste for me clear. “We were still talking…” she grumbl ed. However, she seemed to be much more polite compared to this morning. To my surprise, she didn‘t

finish her sentence. Instead, she bit her lips and managed to put on a smile. Ethan gave her a glance, 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 placed my hands in my lap and waited until the others took their place. 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 glass. “Cheers.”

Unwanted Questions “My pleasure.” Ethan replied, nodding his head. I watched as Romero‘s eyes turn ed towards me. “I am glad 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 me completely 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‘t completely 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 places 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 head and look right into Ethan‘s piercing blue eyes. There was something in his gaze that made me flinch. “… But of course, that will be with permission from Alpha Ethan…” My eyes shot toward Vicky and Talon. Bo 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 glared 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

Unwanted Questions feel more comfortable about what was going on. Even Ethan‘s aura seemed to cha on about how she had traveled to different places and learned things from well–experienced Lunas – things she offered to share

with Ethan later, if he was curious. As much as it was plain that Madalynn admired Ethan, it was the way Luna of this pack. “You know, Ethan… Having a companion is always a wonderful thing. Besides, eventu to settle down and find a Luna to take care of the womanly things around here. My daughter seems very comfortable in don‘t you think?” Romero offered boldly. My eyes widened at his remark, and before I knew what was h Ethan say, “but I am not seeking a mate at this moment, Romero.” “That is a pity,” Romero replied. “I thought you would make a w me yet, and I am sure, if we spend more time together, he may change his mind. I am very skilled at pro the way she said “etiquette,” that it was directed at me. As my eyes locked with hers, I saw the sneer up 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 capital. I hear the halls are flowing with eligible men.” Ethan‘s voice was firm in his stance on the situation. I lowered my gaze, lifted my glass to my mouth to cover up a relie no need for me any more. Although I would need to leave here eventually, I had to admit, by now, that I w and was enjoying the small moments I had with him. “What about you, Rosalie? I take it you have no m
