Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 34

Beeping. A slow, steady beeping filled my ears – and yet the throb within my head was trying to dull all of my senses. Slowly, I opened my eyes and took in my surro undings. I was once again within the hospital, and that was the last place I wanted to be. The steady be eping came from a machine that was dripping fluids into my arm –

not a comforting sight. I hated being bedridden and invalid like this and feeling like I wasn‘t capable of taking care of myself. “She‘s resting now, but she is okay=” Estrella‘s voice made me turn my attention to the partially–

closed door. I wasn‘t sure who she was talking to, but I had no doubt it was Talon or Vicky. They always seemed to be there for me when I was in trouble. “I can‘t belie ve this happened. I feel so horrible about it all. I should never have let her go alone,” Vicky whispered. I hated the guilt I heard in her voice. She wasn‘t to blame for this. Talon’s angry voice replied, “you know Ethan‘s rules, and yet you didn‘t follow them.” I wasn‘t going to allow Vicky to take the fall for this. It wasn’t her fault. At the end of the day, I knew what I was supposed to do and what I was not. “I‘m awake,” I called out. Within seconds, the door opened, and their three faces came into view “I am so sorry we woke you. You need to rest,” Estrella quickly replied, coming to my bedside to check on me. “I‘m fine. It was just a small fall, and the stomach bug I have isn‘t helping my balance at all.” My words had the three of them stopping in their tracks and glancing among one other. I wasn‘t sure what was going on, but from the lo oks of it… it was serious. “Rosalie.. It isn‘t a stomach bug.” Estrella said soothingly, causing a surge of unease within me. Deep inside, I knew what she was going to say, because the thought had crossed m y mind earlier this morning “I‘m pregnant?” The question was spoken softly, but with their werewolf hearin g, they knew exactly what I asked A smile formed on Vicky and Estrella‘s faces. “Yes–

yes, you are.” Even though I knew that was the goal we were trying to accomplish, some part of me still couldn‘t imagine myself being pregnant.

The situation was different now. Ethan was going to end up getting married to that girl, and he didn’t need me anymore. So what was going to happen to me? Was he going to make me get rid of it!?

Panic gripped me, and my eyes filled with tears. “But he has Madalynn now…” “What are you talking a bout?” Talon asked, looking at me confusedly. Vicky quickly sighed, rolling her eyes. “She‘s been going

around telling everyone she is getting married to Ethan. That was what started the argument in the gar den room. She confronted Rosalie and told everyone that she‘s a breeder. Quite loudly, I might add.” “A nd you‘re telling me you weren‘t prepared for that scenario?” Talon wasn‘t pleased with this latest news, and his brow furrowed in anger. Vicky immediately fell silent with a guilty look on her face. They had to let what happened go, I thought. The alliance I heard them talking about couldn‘t be ruined because of me. “Please–” I tried my hardest not to let the tears fall. “Don‘t tell him. I don‘t want to ruin anything y ou are trying to do. I can just go–” “Go?”

Ethan‘s voice caused me to stop in mid sentence. My heart raced, and I watched from the corner of my eye as he made his way int o the room and toward me. “You‘re not going anywhere.” I quickly cast my eyes down towards my lap a nd tried to hide the fact that I was trembling. I had thought that, over time, I had gotten past my fear of him, but instead, I felt like I was back at square one. “I‘m sorry..” “Is it true?” Ethan asked loudly, ignoring my apology. “Is she pregnant?” “Yes, Alpha. S he is.” Talon‘s voice held firm, but anyone around could tell he was still angry about everything that had happened. “Look at me, Rosalie.” The command was softer than when he had come in. Even though I

didn‘t want him to see the state I was in, I knew I had no choice but to obey. Slowly I let my gaze drift u p to meet his, and saw a flash of anger coursed through those gorgeous eyes of his. “What the hill happened to her!?” Vicky, Talon, Estrella, and even I myself c owered back in fear of his anger. He moved towards me, and I involuntarily flinched in terror. I didn‘t mi ss the small trace of hurt that flickered in his face and then quickly disappeared. “It was all my fault!” Vicky cried out. “I accept any punishment you deem just.

” “No, it wasn‘t Vicky‘s fault!” I urged. “I shouldn‘t have left Vicky‘s side. I‘m sorry…” “It was Madalynn, Alpha,” Talon interrupted me. “She cornered Rosalie…” Ethan didn‘t let Talon finish the whole story. “She touched what is mine,” he said. His lips formed a thin line, and I had no dou bt that he was beyond angry at this moment. As if wheels were turning in his mind, he stepped back fro m me and turned to Talon. “Set up a Pregnant meeting with Romero and the King. We have things to discuss.” “Yes, Alpha,” Talon replied qu ickly, bowing his head as Ethan turned and walked out the door. The beta followed shortly after. It took

a moment for the reality of the situation to sink in. Ethan wasn‘t upset that I was hurt. He was upset that Madalynn touched something that belonged to him. I was nothing more than a piece of property to him. “Rosalie, you are fine to go back to your room shortly,” Estrella finally said. “Vicky and I will help yo u to do that, but first, I want you to get some more rest and let these fluids into your system. You were rather d ehydrated.” I nodded my head, and both she and Vicky smiled at me before taking their leave. Once ag ain I was left alone with my thoughts, and that wasn‘t something that I liked. ‘I‘m pregnant.‘ ‘I am actuall y pregnant with Ethan’s child.‘ I couldn‘t stop rubbing my stomach wondering how far along I was, or if i t would be a boy or a girl. I hoped more than anything it would be a boy –

that I would be able to give him his heir An heir I would never get to see grow up…. The idea now that

I would be handing my baby over to him, and never be able to be part of his life, hurt.

I hadn‘t really cared before, but now, it felt different. I had a life growing inside of me. Someone who wou But the tears seemed to take my despair with them, and beneath it, I found a sudden and strange resolve. Werewolves only went through six months of pregnan Estrella had corrected my ignorance at some point. If I wanted to be part of my child‘s life, then I was go it would change my whole life. And Madalynn..she would be the least of my cares right now compared to the little life growing in me.
