Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 40 : Taking Control
The days seemed to pass in a blur after I found out about Ethan‘s secret plan. And as much as I wanted to lay 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 h
ad a feeling she did, because Talon stopped coming to check on me, and when
I did pass him, he wouldn‘t look me in the eye anymore. “Rosalie?” Georgia‘s voice intoned softly as she walked into my apartme
nt. Forcing a smile on my face, I turned to
her. “Hey. What‘s going on?” “I was coming to see if you wanted to go down for lunch. I‘m meeting Vicky.” I knew very well that Et
han didn‘t want me to leave my room, and as much as I didn‘t want to disobey 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 w
as 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 less than I was. Walking d
own the halls I watched as Talon approached us from the opposite direction. His eyes landed on us as he turned to me. “What ar
e 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 leav
e your room...” “Why, because Ethan said so? I‘m pregnant, Talon. I want food and company. Both of which are in the cafe down
stairs.”
With those words, I didn‘t wait to hear Talon‘s reply, but simply looped my arm through Georgia‘s and started 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 into laughter as we c
ontinued 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 Talon. 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 to let anyone intimidate m
e. I held my head high and ignored the whispers of the people around me. Even 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 table. “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 ran into Talon
in the hallway, and, in not so many words, she basically said ‘f*ck Ethan‘.”
Taking Control —––
The explanation Georgia gave was more intense than what I had actually said, but it was enough to make Vicky give me a quest
ionable look. “I‘m living how I want to, remember?” I said to her, raising a brow in question. “Of course, if that‘s what you want,” s
he replied simply. “Now, shall we have appetizers?” I was thankful that Vicky was quick to change the subject. The last 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 scar
ed of everyone around me. For once, I wanted to do something for myself. Plus, what was Ethan going to do about it? I was preg
nant 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 guilt of what Ethan was pla
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 head. “She isn‘t missing, Alp
ha.” His eyes turned towards me with a dark and angry glare. “Where the hell is she, then!” he roared, as if the world was ending
and he needed someone to lash 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 wa
s ordered to stay in her room for her safety!” I saw people turning down the hallway and walked over to Rosalie‘s room, opening t
he 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 adamant that she was going–
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 guards with her. I made s

on killing her, what harm will it do to let her have some type of freedom?” “She is f*cking pregnant, Talon! With my f*cking baby!” “
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, and now she thinks she can

anyone who saw them together could see that. But he was so determined to follow orders that he was lying to his own heart.
