A Breeder For The Alpha King

The guard who was still holding my arm closed his fingers with more strength.“This is none of your business!” He hissed at me and I looked at him. “Sir, please, where should I take her?”“Take her to the hospital. We need to see how healthy she is.” O’Horan answered as if nothing happened. When I looked up again, the orange eyes vanished and my eyes went to the dirty-blond male again. His expression was unreadable. I shook my head as if to clear it and took a deep breath. “Sir, I am an Alpha’s daughter and I have no idea what is happening. The way I have been treated is preposterous and…” “Preposterous is you talking to me like this, girl. Your father is not an Alpha anymore, having been demoted from the status.” O’Horan said with a sneer. “Now, take her to the hospital. I believe the mines will be a good place for her to start to learn a bit of respect!”The mines? What the hell? It was something my brain was having a hard time concealing, it was like a bad dream and I think that

I was not deaf, but his words made no sense in my brain, as if he was speaking a foreign language. “I-I’m sorry. I think I misheard you, sir.” I said and licked my dry lips. “How is that possible? The King wants to get married to me?”O’Horan deeply sighed. “No, Miss Whelan. You are to be a breeder.” O’Horan had a gift, I guess: speak important and make it feel as if he was talking about some indifferent event with no consequences whatsoever. Damn him!A breeder. Not a wife. Not a mate. I was going to be a breeder. “You mean, the King will use my body, make me give birth to a pup and then what? He will take the child from me and I’ll never hear again about the baby?” I asked and O’Horan said nothing, he remained unmoved, his hands behind his back. “You’ll toss me into the dungeons? Or put me to work at the mines? I don’t want to be a breeder! And if I ever get to have a child, I will not be parted from it!” “That is not something you should concern yourself with.” He said in a low

I widened my eyes upon hearing that. The voice was feminine and I didn't recognize it, but for the guard to have bowed, she was someone important. I lowered my head, clasped my hands in front of my body, and followed the guard's lead. “I beg your pardon, my lady.” I said, not daring to look up. I heard the sound of footsteps and soon, a red dress appeared in my field of vision. Something hard touched my chin and lifted my face. A pair of saphira eyes stare back at me. The contrast of the porcelain skin of the pretty-featured female, with her face framed by a cascade of black hair, was striking. "You know who I am?" She asked with a smug air. No, I didn't know and honestly, I wasn't interested in doing so. I took a deep breath and kept my tongue in my mouth. “No, my lady.” I answered as politely as I could. “Well, you better never

Indeed, the news Morgan had for me was wonderful, one that filled my heart with a bit of happiness I had been denied for some time: she got the King to allow me into the library!“Come on, this place is amazing!” She said full of energy, holding my hand as she hurried on. The double doors were huge, at least seven feet high and completely gilded. “The King spares no expense for what gives him pleasure.” She said and I noticed, even from the side, that Morgan's cheeks were flushed.Was she referring to something else? Like, for example, the concubines?As if she could read my thoughts, Morgan turned to me and smiled, but this time, it was more coy and shy.“Casey, when I asked the King to allow a friend into the library, he was silent, as if he was thinking of a way to deny me. But as soon as I mentioned your name, I saw the twinkle in his eyes.” Morgan took both my hands. “Maybe he doesn't go through with the plan to just make you a breeder. But take you as one of us. In fact, if you

I looked at her in disbelief. Then I started to laugh.“Oh, Nanna!” I tried to control myself, because the rocking of my body made my back hurt. “That's just male stuff. Him being the first. It has nothing to do with real feelings.”Nanna shrugged. She was very romantic, I had to admit.“Well, I'm not convinced. He takes care of you, girl. The way he looks at you…” Nanna smiled wistfully.I had my suspicions that Nanna did have a fated mate, but for some reason, things didn't work out for the two of them and she ended up alone. Not everyone has the grace to find a second chance mate.I always wanted to ask her about it, but I didn't have the courage. If I, who still hadn't found mine, was already too sad with the possibility of never finding it, imagine if I find it and something went wrong? I believe it would be worse if I had never felt the joy of having my mate.In addition to dinner, Johannes showed up early to read to me. Apparently, nothing passed his scrutiny, as he even knew w
