Five's POV

Bob came at the usual hour, carrying the tray with both hands.

I let her set it down. I let her pour the tea. I waited until she had settled on the edge of the chair across from me, her hands folded, her eyes lowered, before I said,

"Look at me," I ordered.

She looked up.

I felt guilty about using it on her. She was a human who had done nothing to me, but Seven's week was running, and bob was the only door in this house that had a person behind it.

And the memory of Lucien telling m

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 221: I will not do that again

    Five's POVThe cold from the glass seeped into my skin. I processed everything I had just heard. A key in a jar of salt, a study, a man named Sorrel. A door that needed two bloodlines.And a girl behind me who had just handed over everything because I had asked in a voice I'd stolen from something older than either of us.I turned.Bob sat motionless, a tear sliding unnoticed down her cheek.I crossed to her and knelt, and took her hands."Hey," I said gently. "Listen. When I count to three, you'll feel rested. You'll remember pouring my tea and nothing else. You won't feel afraid.""Yes, my lady.""I'm sorry," I whispered."For what?"I didn't answer, I couldn't. The guilt pressed down on me but I didn't focus on it. I counted. At three her eyes cleared, and she blinked, and smiled faintly. "Would you like more honey?""No," I answered. "Thank you."She gathered the tray and left, humming, small and content.I stayed on the floor a long time after the latch clicked.I had the k

I needed to get this over with.I needed something against Elvis. I reached for the warmth. It rose quietly, slow and steady."I'm going to ask you some questions," I started, "and you're going to answer them truthfully. You won't be afraid, and you won't tell Lord Elvis we spoke."Her pupils widened. The careful posture loosened, shoulders dropping, hands unclenching in her lap, and something in her face went soft and unguarded."Yes, my lady," she sang

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 219: that’s when you’re smartest

    Five's POVThe laundry cart squeaked.I heard it from the window seat, where I had been pretending to read the pre-war herbal for the third day running. Wheels on carpet, a bundle of sheets rustling, a servant's soft, even tread.It wasn’t the regular maids. The maids walked like they were apologizing to the floor.The door opened, and a girl backed in, dragging a basket of linens, her head was down and her hair pinned under a grey cap. Behind her, in the doorway, stood a guard. One of Elvis's wolves, broad-shouldered, bored, assigned to watch whoever came and went.The girl straightened.My heart stopped.Seven.Her eyes met mine for exactly half a second. Nothing moved in her face. She was perfect. A laundry maid doing a laundry maid's job.But her fingers, gripping the basket, were white at the knuckles."Fresh linens for the lady," she said to the floor."Leave them and go," the guard ordered.I stood slowly. "Wait."The guard's gaze slid to me. "My lady?""The maid will make the

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 218: you will come out

    Seven’s POV His mouth claimed mine like he’d been waiting for permission he never planned to ask for. Hard, certain, no gentleness in the first press—just heat and the salt of sweat and the sharp edge of whatever had been eating at him for days. I made a sound against his lips, half protest, half something far less controlled, and his arm tightened around my waist until there was no space left between us.The training yard, the dummy, the scattered straw—all of it disappeared. There was only the solid wall of his chest and the way his other hand came up to grip the back of my neck, tilting my head so he could take the kiss deeper. My heart beat thrummed faster in my chest. His tongue slid against mine and I opened for him without thinking, tasting iron and exhaustion and the low, dangerous hunger he’d been holding back.I didn’t pull away. This was a bad idea but fuck it, I wanted him. I fisted the damp fabric of his shirt, pulling him closer even as my mind tried to remind me w

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 217: liar

    Seven's POVThree days without Five, and the room had gone wrong.Her bed was still made. Her half of the window was still bare. Fifty sat cross-legged on the floor with a bowl of cold stew in her lap, staring at it as if it might tell her something."She hasn't sent word," Fifty whispered."She can't.""She could. She's clever." Fifty set the bowl down. "Which means either she's being watched too closely, or she's learning something she can't risk sending.""Or he's hurt her.""Elvis doesn't hurt people." Fifty's mouth twisted. "He makes them grateful."I pressed my palms against my knees."I can't sit here.""You can't walk into his wing either.""I know that.""Seven.""I know," I emphasized on the last part stubbornly, needing her to understand. Fifty watched me. She had grown quieter since Greywater, but her eyes had sharpened, and they missed nothing now."You're not only angry about Five," she observed.I said nothing."Everyone heard about what happened with the Beta.""Don't

  • The Alpha King’s human breeder    Chapter 216: loyal like you

    Five's POV The companion arrived with the dawn. She had the usual stillness of every typical slave. But something stuck out to me. Her perfectly cut bob. Not a strand out of place, not even at the ends. It framed her face neatly, giving her an appearance that seemed almost too deliberate for someone in her position. She carried a tray with both hands. "My lady," she greeted, setting the tray down. I studied her. This was the one who had reported Seven's approach before it was finished, the one Seven had described. Elvis had assigned his most loyal servant. Of course he had. "Thank you," I smiled warmly. "Lord Elvis asked me to see that you eat,” her eyes flicked up, bright and wary. "He said you'd been on the road for a while. He worries for you." "Does he?" "He worries about everyone," she said simply, and I heard that she meant it. "He doesn't like people to go hungry." Her answer came without hesitation. There was no uncertainty in her voice, no attempt to flatte

    549’s POVI curled up in my bed, my head heavy, my throat sore from crying. The higher ups would punish me for not looking after myself. But I couldn’t bring myself to care. Not when everything was crumbling around me, not when my fate had been sealed. I hated it, hated the breeding facility, th

    549’s POV"You’ll never return to us." Twelve’s words echoed in my head. The dread tinged with melancholy made it sound more like a sentencing than a prediction. I stood on the far end of the line, my gaze on the floor, my shoulders squared, chest pushed out—just the way we were taught. My body

    549’s POV “What did they say?” Twelve asked as she twisted the cap of her water bottle. I shrugged, trying to act casual. “I passed.” She froze, then her eyes snapped to mine. I looked away, unable to bear the pity that swirled in those grey orbs. “Oh five forty nine,” she sighed, droppin

    549’s POV The buzz of my alarm clock brought me back to life. It was 6:45am on the third moon day. Which meant— My room door burst open, and a familiar head of brown hair walked in. My reaction was instant, almost instinctive. I wrapped my arms around my body, trying—but failing to cover my br
