Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 10
**Rosalie‘s POV**
All of sudden, the body weight on me was lifted, and my wrists were released. Almost at the same time, a soft blanket was
thrown over my body. I snapped my eyes open in disbelief. He stopped. Why? My gaze went to his face as he propped himself u
p on the bed. His expression seemed distant, and maybe a little concerned—I wasn‘t
sure. Then I watched as he pulled back and pick up his dlothes. I could see the broadness of his back, the curves and firmness o
f every muscle. There was nothing but power radiating off of him. He was
the largest, yet finest man I had ever seen. As he buttoned his shirt, I realized what a coward I was. I had
ruined it... No, I couldn‘t
fail this task. I couldn‘t disappoint him. I had to do this! If I didn‘t, what would happen to my pack, my father... and me? Panic ros
e in me. I got up as quickly as I could and grabbed the bottom edge of his shirt before he got the chance to tuck it back in. I could
n‘t let him leave. I had to complete my task! “Please...don‘t leave,” I pleaded in fear. I couldn‘t allow him to go and be the
executioner for my pack. Too many innocent lives were depending on this! Ethan slowly turned around and faced me. Under his
gaze, I felt ashamed of
the way I looked in the thin clothing I had been provided. I didn‘t feel like an Alpha‘s daughter, but a slave trying to negotiate with
her master. However, I had to try. I had to find courage somewhere. “Please... I can...” He stood there towering over me. The ca
ndlelight was behind him, shrouding his face in the dark. I couldn‘t make out his expression, but I couldn‘t
imagine that it was anything good. My hands were cold as ice, and as I settled back down on the bed, I couldn‘t help but feel vuln
erable toward him. “No,” Ethan replied firmly, causing my heart to sink in my chest. Oh no... what had I done? I ruined everything
! It was as if all the strength in my body
was sucked away. I had to let go of his shirt. My hands dropped back on the bed, supporting my body in its sitting position. Done
... we were all done. My father, my pack, and myself. Neither Ethan nor I said a word for a few seconds, but it felt like centuries. “
Gain some weight.”
His voice rang above me, as cold and emotionless as usual.
I widened my eyes. What had he just said? It took
me a few moments to process the meaning of his words. I still had a chance! I looked at him with
appreciation as he was leaving the room. “Alpha... I...” “You‘re too thin. Gain some weight,” he repeated one more time unexpect
edly, and then disappeared through the doorway. For some reason, I sensed the slightest frustration in his
tone. Finally, my emotions all rushed back to me. Relief, disappointment, sadness, shame... The pain in my chest gripped my he
art, and I let the tears flow freely as I curled myself up into a ball in the blankets on my bed. It hadn‘t been my fear that made him
stop. Of course not. Why would a breeder‘s emotion have any effect on the cold–hearted Alpha of Drogomor? Through my tear–
filled eyes, I saw
the heartless candles burning gradually burning out. The entire room sank into darkness again. I was exhausted. The last though
t before I lost consciousness was: “I‘m not healthy and strong enough for him, as a breeder. I let him down.”
She cried. Why did she have to cry?! As I left the room, I was turning my frustration over and over in my head. What was
her problem?! This girl had me almost feel guilty for how I approached the situation. Me! The Alpha! The look of fear that had regi
stered on her face when she opened her
eyes and looked at me made me angry. I had seen fear in people before, but never in the eyes of a woman like Rosalie. There w
as something different about her, and I hated to admit that my attraction to her was new to me. Seeing her like
that, though, regardless of the situation, made me feel like I was a monster. Storming down the hallway, I made my way towards
my room. I couldn‘t stop seeing her fearful eyes in my mind, and that bothered me. I needed a strong drink to settle my nerves. T
he liquor bar in my room was always stocked. Whiskey had become my treatment of choice after the life I had once lived. Grabbi
ng a glass from the
stand, I snatched the crystal decanter and poured the dark amber liquid into my glass. As it met my lips, I closed my eyes enjoyin
g the flavor and the joy the whiskey brought me. It was the only thing that numbed the
pain anymore, and that was something I needed. My thoughts were shrouded in fog thanks to the effect the alcohol had on my b

to the ground. A knock at the door drew my attention. A groan of Irritation left my lips, and I walked over quickly
and opened the door.
Talon stood there. His eyes widened with shock as they traveled from me to the floor behind me and the broken glass.
“Is everything okay?” he asked. Rolling my eyes, I walked away from the door,
leaving it open so that he could enter. Another glass of whiskey was what I needed-
something to take the edge off. “Does it look like I‘m okay?” My sarcastic comment came out rougher than I expected. When I tur
ned to face Talon again, he stood there staring at me as if what I said didn‘t bother him. Instead, he crossed
his arms over his chest and leaned against the wall.
“Care to elaborate on what happened?” Home
When it was just the two of us, he usually was more of a friend than a subordinate to me. A chuckle left my lips, and I shook my h
ead. “You want a detailed play–by–
play of what happened?” “No, but I take it you did what you had to?” Talon asked again. I found myself irritated that he was even
asking
questions to begin with. “No, Talon. Sh*t didn‘t happen like I f*cking wanted it to.” My anger was surging up again, which only ma
de me more frustrated. I had to learn to reel my emotions in better. He held his hands up in front of
him defensively and took a step backwards. “I‘m sorry. I was just asking. You wanted me to
be in charge of her, and knowing if the job was done is important so I can inform Estrella.” Talon was right. He was just
trying to do his job. “Look.. I’m sorry, Talon. You know how stressed I am, okay? I am supposed to be in the capital in a few mont
hs, and I still have to deal with this sh*t.”
Frustration filled me. Talon was well aware of my issues. After all, he was my beta, and his job was to be my second in command
. To make sure that, if anything happened to me, the pack was still led the way it was meant to be. “What would you like, Alpha?”
Talon finally said after a moment of silence. What would I like?
There were a lot of things I would like, but, of course, those weren‘t happening right now. 1 sighed. “What I would
like is for you to inform Estrella that she has time to see that Rosalie gains more strength.” Picking up the bottle I poured myself
another glass, and downed it in one go.

“No... she wasn‘t.” I didn‘t have it in me to be angry at her. Vicky was right about what she said... Rosalie‘s abuse had been too
much.
The look of fear in Rosalie‘s eyes when I was on top of her. The way her body shook with the terror that was
coursing through her veins. I wasn‘t sure what exactly had
happened to her, but I would eventually find out. Not to get revenge for her, but because that trauma was unknown to me
and had become a problem. It was getting in the way of what I needed to accomplish. This was a job. Nothing with her was real...

me second guess my actions, and it wasn‘t something I would ever let anyone know about. “She has a short period of
time to gain more weight. Have Estrella and your sister work with her on the mental state
she‘s currently in, too. I can‘t have her emotional state be a hindering factor next time.”
I knew I sounded heartless, but I didn‘t care. That was who I was. I was the Alpha of this pack. I had a reputation to uphold, and I

There was no room for any more discussion. I wanted to be alone,
