Sold as the Alpha King's Breeder
Chapter 40

The days seemed to pass in a blur after I found out about Ethan's secret plan. And as much as I wantI couldn't. Vicky and I had talked things over since I told her what I knew. She told me she wouldn't!I did pass him, he wouldn't look me in the eye anymore. “Rosalie?” Georgia“s voice intoned softly asher. "Hey. What's going on?” “I was coming to see if you wanted to go down for lunch. I'm meeting \“That sounds wonderful.” I replied, faking cheerfulness and following her out of the apartment, shuttterms, and live the rest of my life in the way I wanted to. I wasn't going to allow Ethan to make me feWith those words, I didn't wait to hear Talon’s reply, but simply looped my arm through Georgia“s anoff 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.” Georgiawalking. “I knew I would teach you something useful eventually. I like it —

a new Rosalie. It suits you.” 3 1 wasn't too confident that it did; in fact, I hated acting that way towarcbound to obey Ethan; but the fact he had known for so long. It hurt. As I walked into the cafe, I refusfar 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 Iin 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 tocontinue having the conversation on what I was and wasn't supposed to do.

I had tried not tact indifferent towards her, but it was hard when I couldn't even look her in the eye without feeling tI 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 wieyes. “Alpha, are you okay?” “Rosalie’s missing... send the guards,” he ordered. I quickly shook my heout 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 heand 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 adaeven going as far to say, in not so many words, “screw you, I'm going'.” “Excuse me?" Ethan repliedas if he hadn't heard what I had just said. Pinching my brow, I sighed. “Ethan.. She is pregnant, and hon killing her, what harm will it do to let her have some type of freedom?” “She is f*cking pregnant, Tsomething I had not done since we were boys.
