Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 26

“She isn‘t,” Ethan stated, a slight irritation in his tone. “I don‘t mean to quarrel, but I would like to hear w hat the lady has to say, Ethan. Plus, you have kept her away from us up in that room the entire time we have been here. I am intrigued to kn ow more of her – and why you are so taken with her.”

When all eyes fell on me again, I turned to Ethan. He had a hesitant look in his eyes.

But with a small nod, he gave me permission to respond, not that I wanted to. “I–

well… One day I do hope to meet my mate and have the life I have always dreamed of –

with a man who loves me, and will protect me. But, for now, I have other priorities.”

I hadn‘t thought I would have the courage to say what I did, but it felt great to let it out.

However, I immediately felt that cold atmosphere descend again. Knowing where it was coming from, I didn‘t dare to look at Ethan this time.

“That‘s wonderful. But you do know that, in society today, women often do not worry about destined ma tes. That is a thing of the past. When they are offered a proposal, women take it. It becomes their social standing, after all. Tell me, what is your station in society?”

The man was asking too many questions I didn‘t want to answer, and I was more than uncomfortable. I

wish I could return to my room already. “Father, it isn‘t polite to ask an Omega that kind of question,” Madalynn replied for me as

she sipped her drink.

I couldn‘t argue back. What was I supposed to say? Should I tell them that, no, I was also an Alpha‘s daughter? That my own family sold me? “Rosalie is no Omega.” Suddenly, Vicky‘

s words rang from the other end of the table. “She is the daughter of an Alpha and deserves respect.” I was shocked at Vicky‘s words. Even Talon looked at her with disapproval in his eyes. But Vic ky showed no sign of regret and simply shrugged her shoulders. Madalynn was surprised for a moment, and then her smile revealed even more contempt. “Is that so?

Tsk, tsk, poor thing…” She needed to say no more. I was an alpha‘s daughter, but I was not with my pa ck – meaning, ye, I was abandoned by my people. How pitiful was that…

Talon gave Vicky a stern look, while Vicky seemed sorry that her words hadn‘t help me, but actually se emed to put me in a worse spot. Worst yet, Madalynn wasn‘t done with me. She raised her glass gracef ully and looked me in the eyes. “Rosalie, I heard you have a nice voice. I‘m sure everyone here would love to enjoy some entertainment from you.”

She did not hide her scorn in her tone, and her words made it sound like I was a lowly maid or slave, to be ordered around just to please the masters. I bit my lip, trying to fight back the tears in my eyes, Vicky was terrified for me – I could see the worry in her eyes – but Talon pulled her down to her seat.

Conflicted Choices ———— I didn‘t look at Ethan. There was no point. What would he do? Tell off Mada immediately? “Miss Madalynn, unfortunately, Miss Rosalie hasn‘t been feeling well…” I looked up, and saw Talon putting on a polite‘and an apologetic smile, trying to talk Madalynn out of the idea. “Oh, really?” Madalynn interrupted. “I thought she may not want to sing because she doesn‘t like me.” She then turned to Romero. “Father, am I really that dislikable?” she whined like an innocent girl. Ethan‘s eyes were narrowed, and I could sense that he was getting upset –

and dangerous. Before he could react, 1 slid my seat back and stood at the table, surprising everyone.

but I was still an Alpha‘s daughter. I had to start standing up for myself, protecting myself. I clenched my honor to sing for you.” She sneered, seemily pleased with me being so cooperative. Then I walked over to the band to whisper to their leader the Rolling Stones‘ “You Can‘t Always Get What You Want.”. As I intoned the opening verse, my gaze tr who still seemed to be happy with getting what she wanted. I repeated the words of the song‘s title over and over, my eyes shining and a grin on my face. As I finished the chor glance over at Madalynn. Her victorious smile had been wiped away, and she was biting her lower lip, h always brought me confidence and strength. I‘d been feeling impulsive when I decided to do this, but I didn‘t care whether I would be punished later. However, I could not help but look at Ethan. His face was amused.

Hopefully, that meant he wasn‘t too upset. Next, I glanced over at Madalynn, and her expression was…

please?” Conflicted Choices * * I didn‘t want to spend a single more minute in the same room as Romer any more opportunities to insult me. He nodded his head, and I took the opportunity to quickly leave the

up the stairs After the dining hall was fully out of sight, my nervousness returned. The stunt I‘d pulled ha escaped my lips, and I shook my head. “It‘s okay. I made a fool of myself down there…” “Are you kidding sultry voice wrapped around me, and I turned in the doorway to see him standing behind us. His gaze still had down the hall as fast as she could. As my eyes turned back towards Ethan, I couldn‘t help but notice that his attire matched my own. The black suit fit him in all the right places, and h tie matched my dress perfectly. “I– I‘m sorry-” I stuttered. But before I could speak another word, he stepped forward, wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me close against his body. “So, you‘re s all the conversations from tonight‘s dinner, that was what stuck with him? “It actually means that much to “Yes, it means everything to me.“. As my last word fell from my lips, his mouth descended upon me, and of bliss swarmed through my veins as I let myself be lost in the way he made me feel.
