Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 9

Time might not heal everything, but it did heal me physically.

Another week went by, I was feeling better than I ever had.

I made sure to stick to the diet Estrella had designed for me. I went to every doctor’s appointment and did the light exercise of walking regularly to make me stronger. I wasn’t one hundred percent there yet, but I was improving steadily everyday.

I was surprised by how fast I recovered when I put my efforts in. Then again, I bore Alpha blood.

Since there was no way for me to look back, I persuaded myself to feel better about the situation. By the time this was done and over with, I would be in a much better place. I would be healthier, and I would have freedom.

It was an hour after I had my dinner. I looked out of the window and saw the evening sky casting shadows across the pack grounds. This was the only leisure time I was given every day outside of my busy treatment schedule.

I took a book from the library to the small reading nook of my room. The maids had come in earlier and lit the small fire. I was grateful for it. The warmth felt amazing against my skin.

A knock at the door drew my attention. I saw two of the maids whose visits I was accustomed walking in with an older woman.

“Rosalie, I am here to prepare you,” she stated, as if she was in charge.

“I’m sorry… Prepare me for what occasion? I don’t think we have met,” I said hesitantly and stood up, walking towards them.

“I am Mrs. White, the head maid of the estate. The Alpha sent me to make sure you were prepared for the evening.”

Her words confused me further. It wasn’t until I watched the woman disappear into the bathroom to run a bath that I realized what she meant.

Tonight was the night.

He was coming to claim me!

The book in my hand fell to the floor. I hurriedly picked it up and tried to cover my nervousness.

Once in a while, my thoughts went to Alpha Ethan. As time went by, the fear of him had slowly faded away.

I had been fine up until this point because he hadn’t been around. After the first night I arrived here, he seemed to have totally forgotten about me.

Our first encounter seemed so long ago that I even questioned whether it was real… until now.

Time seemed to slow down as I took a seat back on my chair.

The maids were drawing me a floral bath.They didn’t even pay attention to me, and I felt like I was an outsider watching the movements they were making. It wasn’t until the bath was ready that Mrs. White gestured for me to follow her.

“The only job you have here is to bear a child.” His words echoed in my head.

To him, it was just a job, and I was nothing more than a container he bought to carry his heir.

Hot water swirled around me, and I soaked in the fresh, natural-scented liquid. The warmth seeped into my muscles. It was relaxing, and gave me time to consider everything that was happening.

The rest of the maids were lighting up candles. The flickering candle lights gave a soft orange glow to the room, while the scent of cedar and vanilla danced around my nose. It immediately made the large and empty suite feel warmer and more inviting.

It was getting dark outside, and the colorful clouds far away at the edge of the sky started to dim. Oh, and the moon… I wondered when it would be dark enough for me to see it so that I could pray to the moon goddess.

It was a perfect night as any girl could dream if as her first night with her mate. However, the man I was going to lose my virginity to was someone who didn’t need a mate. The only purpose he would have here tonight would be to leave a child in my belly. And once he took what I held dear, he would never have anything to do with me again.
