Sold as the Alpha King's Breeder

*Rosalie’s POV Estrella had made

sure to take care of me, and once I had finished her medical protocols, she

allowed me to return to my room—

but under the condition that I stay in bed for two days and try to take it easy from now on The roon bedroom apartment that fit every need I could possibly have to some extent.

Letting out a sigh, I curled up against the pillows in the bed and felt impossibly alone. I hated how m — but I felt so conflicted.

A knock on the bedroom door drew my eyes toward the entrance. “Yes?” “Miss Rosalie, it's Mary, you haired girl with large blue eyes stepped in, carrying a tray with silver-domed dishes.

“I brought you

food, miss,” she said softly, walking toward the bed and placing the tray on a nearby table. “Alpha Et you from that order.” I was taken aback and shocked. I had been given a servant! “Uhm-

no, I think that will be okay.” I stuttered, feeling completely weirded out by the situation. “I'm gratefi - it's my job to serve those above me.” “Mary, I appreciate you. You

don't have to fear judgment from me when you're around me. I'm just

not accustomed to having people serve

me like this.” “Of course, miss. Is there anything else I can get for you?” she replied, giving me a smal room. Then footsteps came closer until Ethan's face appeared in

the bedroom doorway. I hadn't expected to see him any time soon, considering that he had so muct tobe bride. “How are you feeling?” He asked as he took steps closer to me. “I see that the

girl was able to bring you food.” “Mary,” I stated firmly, watching him. Ethan looked at me for a mom simply

nodded his head. “Did you eat?” Ethan was behaving completely out of his character, and had me qu “I was about to,” I replied. I watched as he lifted the silver lids. My eyes

widened at his action, and at the amount of food that had been provided for me, as well as drinks. Taple! JU BUU REST He seemed almost stunned at my reply, and simply nodded his head, “Did you e Ethan was behaving completely out of his character, and had me questioning why he suddenly cared of

our conversations had been him giving his order and me doing as he had struggled. I wondered if he silver lids, My eyes widened at his action, and at the amount of food that had been provided for me, amazing.” My reply was so soft that when I looked up at him, I found that he was staring at me with : have his baby, and he would

expect me to leave when I was done. I would have to leave him, and I would have to leave

my child. The thought broke my heart. “Estrella found out how far along you are,” Ethan finally

said, breaking the silence between us as I fed myself a strawberry. “She did?” “Yes. She said you are a My words stopped him in his tracks, and instinctively, he reached out

his hand, laying it across my stomach.

"Yes, I will protect the child with my life.” The way he looked at me when he spoke had me feeling as it was an unsaid promise he was giving me. That even though I would be gone, he would ensure tha I didn’t want to go — I wanted to be with him.

“Will... will you come back to visit me again?” I stuttered. “I enjoy having you... having you here with “Please. I feel safer when you're around.” My confession came out of nowhere—

and, subconsciously, I had wanted to say it. But when I actually spoke the words, I realized that it wa The kiss wasn't rough and erotic as our past ones had been instead, it was soft and gentle. If I could I he moved away, I knew my request had been rejected. Bed Rest I looked down,

trying not to let my tears fall.

How foolish I was! “...But I will be back later..." he continued.

“Behave, and rest... It's all about the baby now. We must do what's right for him.” I nodded my head with a smile and tears in my eyes as I watched him rise to his feet and slowly make his way out of the about the baby now.’

I knew it was about the baby and making sure that Ethan's heir came
