Sold To The Scarred Alpha
Chapter 45

MALIYA

I woke up earlier than usual and I mentally groaned for waking so early when I knew that I’d spend the rest of the day in this new prison of mine without getting to raise a finger,

I wasn’t surprised to see that Alpha Xander wasn’t in the room

was as if he never really slept here. Things have gone back

to the way they used to be. He came to bed late after I had already slept and left before I woke up. The only way I usually knew he was here was his side of the bed which was always warm just like right now.

I bet it hasn’t been long since he left.

I went todake my bath and once I was done, I sat on the bed

gemplating on what to do next. The weather is a little chilly

to be taking a morning stroll so I watched the whole place from the balcony.

Just then, the door cracked open and a maid came inside. I knew she was here to deliver the Alpha’s order but I really hoped that it wouldn’t be another annoying demand.

“Alpha asked you to join him for breakfast“, the maid announced, taking me by surprise.

Alpha Xander has never eaten with anyone before. I knew that much since I’d been staying here for three months and I had never seen him cat with anyone before. He would always sit alone with a frown on his face while he ate.

Maids are not even allowed to be anywhere close by which makes me wonder why he was suddenly inviting me to join him.

“Maybe he is trying to learn since he will have to start eating with his child once I give birth away.” I thought to myself but doubt that was the reason.

He has no other reason to send for me so that must be it. I knew for sure that whatever he did right now was not because he had any interest in me, it was because I was carrying his child and he needed me to protect the baby.

TII be downstairs in a minute,” I sighed.

“Don’t take long, you know he doesn’t like waiting for long, the maid reminded me before turning to leave.

I wished I could actually reject his orders at times like this. I have gotten used to eating up here alone since I moved into his room and now, he is going to take that away from me too,

Soon enough, he will start controlling how I think and the reason would be for the child’s safety.

I left the room reluctantly to join him in the dining, and true to the maid’s words, he was really waiting for me before he started eating.

I bowed to show my respect and he ordered a maid to bring an extra plate.

I didn’t miss the way he was staring at me closely as I dished my food and I was starting to wonder if he thought the food I was taking was too much.

I shifted uncomfortably under his stare as I began to eat. I could feel his gaze on me with every spoon I took and I was starting to think maybe he was regretting his decision already.

Am I not eating well? I made sure to chew properly without making a sound knowing how sensitive he was, but I guess he couldn’t stand me, judging from the way he kept on staring at me

Did I do something wrong then? He hasn’t blinked his eyes for the past three minutes. As much as I was trying to act unaffected, I couldn’t deny the effect it had on me.

Chapter 43

I should have just giverhin an excuse and eaten in the room like I have been doing

Just then, Alpha Xander pushed his seat back and left the dining room without a word. I didn’t miss the way his muscles tensed as he walked away and I hoped he would never call me to join him to eat again.

I released a breath of relief once he was out of breath and finally began to cat properly. The food was too much for me to finish so once I ate to my satisfaction. I decided to take a stroll.

Two muds followed after me immediately and I wondered if this ever ended. If it is not Alpha Xander watching me like a hawk, then it has to be the maids or the guards. I can’t even take a step out of the room without someone following behind me. It is pretty exhausting and I hope all of these end soon.

Alpha Xander has been treating me a lot differently since I got pregnant which was weird. We both know that I meant nothing to him so all of this act would end as soon as I have a safe delivery and once the time comes, I hope he would be willing to grant me my freedom because by then, I’d be of no use to him anymore.

I kept on strolling the mansion, taking in the view as I reminisced how my life used to be before I got here. How things got pretty bad for me. I don’t know if I should cry or laugh at the change but it surely was surprising

I went from being mistreated by my stepmother, and my never supporting father, to replaceing out that Prince Kane was my mate and then, I thought my life would change for good.

Prince Kane was supposed to be the man who would change my story. I knew getting married to him would change my story and I’d turn into a Princess, hence, no one would be able to treat me unfairly again.

I sucked up to Prince Kane’s treatment. Always trying to please him even though he was impossible to please. I was willing to do anything to get him to accept me, but what did I get in return?

He sold me when I was determined to satisfy him.

I let out a bitter laugh as I recalled how crazy it was. If anyone were to tell me things would end up that way, I’d laugh to their face. I thought things would really change this time, but I must have had my hopes so high that I didn’t even realize that I was about to hit my rock bottom.

I looked in the opposite direction when I saw a familiar figure walking towards the exit. I almost laughed at myself at how vivid my imagination was

I was just thinking about Prince Kane and now, my brain was starting to picture him with every man that passed by.

I took a closer look at him and the more I looked the more he looked familiar. Am I seeing things right now?

This can not be Prince Kane, right?

i

“Prince Kane?” I called out but he was too far away to hear my voice. It can’t be him, I shook my head as I continued to stare at him, but the similarities were too much to wave off that easily.

The way he walked, his height, his stature, it was exactly the same with him. There was no way anyone would have resembled him this much.

What could he be doing here? Watching him from a distance was enough to make my stomach churn. I could never imagine that a day would come when I’d see that asshole again or even be in the same place with him.

I could still remember how cold he was when he sold me off like I was a piece of shit. There is no way I’d ever be able to forgive a man like that.

My blood boiled with anger as 1 saw him walk away calmly. How can he be at peace when he was the reason I was in this situation in the first place? He looked so comfortable and I bet he had even forgotten that he used to have a mate or maybe he even sold someone for a token

Thope it doesn’t last forever, I don’t know why he was here, but whatever it is, I hope it won’t work out. I hope he will suffer as much as I am suffering right now.

A tear slipped from my cheeks as I recounted the first night Alpha Xander forced himself on me. The pain was still fresh in my head and that bastard was walking around freely like he hadn’t ruined my life. I hope he meets his downfall soon.

I went back to the room angrily. I suddenly felt tired from seeing someone in my past life and I think I have had enough for

the day.

As soon as I got back inside, the doctor followed in almost immediately and I forced out a polite smile.

“I need to run a quick checkup on you,” he announced, and I nodded.

I lay down on the bed and the doctor began to do his thing. My mind went back to Prince Kane and I couldn’t help but think about what his purpose here might have been.

“You should keep up with what you are doing. The baby is fine, and so are you, he smiled, snapping me out of my thoughts. Just then, Alpha Xander came into the room and his eyes fell on mine.

“Alpha, it’s a good thing you are here, the doctor smiled at him. I just ran a few tests on her, and both the baby and the mother are in good condition,” he announced, and Alpha Xander nodded.

“Good” He said flatly, making it hard to know what was going on in his head.

Soon after, the doctor left the room, leaving me alone with Alpha Xander.
