Sold as the Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 109 : An Upsetting Interuptions

*Mila*

I watched as all of the Norwind survivors ran toward the newcomers. A large group of people were coming in through the magical maze I'd made.

Payne was coming back with several of Soren's warriors. The Norwind survivors knew him and recognized him, of course, they'd be excited.

Smiling, I followed along as they ran over to greet Payne and the other warriors.

Whenever they came by, they'd bring more food and supplies to help keep the new packland thriving.

Soren spared no expense in helping the pack survivors get settled.

Ben ran along beside me.

"Wow, Miss Mila, you're right! The forest did let our friends through. That's so... magical!"

I chuckled and patted his head. “Well, it is a spell I cast, so you're right, it is magical.”

Ben giggled and went off to help some of the warriors with their supplies. He always wanted to be part of whatever was happening.

I looked at Payne and nodded. “Welcome back, Payne.”

He bowed to me. His lips were unusually tight, jaw tense. He had purple bags under his eyes and he sighed heavily. I got the feeling that his spirits were very low. He was a little off.

I was surprised by this. Payne was usually so composed and emotionally steady. I'd rarely ever seen him show his emotions openly. Whatever was bothering him had to be serious enough to throw him off balance.

For the moment, I didn't address it.

I made sure all the warriors and Norwind members were helping unload the supplies and put food away.

Soren and Thomas joined me with Payne. Soren shook Payne's hand. “Welcome back, Payne. “I thought Ashley was coming back with you."

"Oh, that's right, I wanted to talk to her,” I muttered.

Payne bowed his head. “She did come with me... but she said she's tired and wanted to rest.”

I glanced around at the clearing. The party was still in full swing. There were people laughing, dancing, and drinking. Ashley loved parties and celebrations.

She was totally a social butterfly.

It wasn't like her to “need rest" in the middle of an event like this.

I wondered if something was wrong.

Why would she be hiding herself?

“Payne, is she okay?" I arched an eyebrow at him.

He nodded firmly. His reaction was too quick and fast. Suddenly, he sighed and his shoulders slouched. He shook his head.

“It's because of Eros, isn't it?"

We'd all suspected that Ashley was the one to release Eros. She probably didn't think he'd come after us and steal the artifact and cause trouble.

"Ashley learned about everything that happened in the Norwind territory. Specifically, everything Eros did. Ever since then, she's locked herself in her room," he explained.

“She should know that what Eros did isn't her fault!"

Payne sniffed and shook his head. “Mila, she admitted that she was the one who let Eros out. If she hadn't given in and released him..."

“Eros is her mate. The pull between them is strong, I'm sure she just wants to believe he has good in him," I argued, crossing my arms

“Perhaps, but if she had not released him, he wouldn't have taken the artifact. He was obviously there as an agent of the king and he could have been the one to blow up the mountain, nearly killing you."

“We don't have proof that he blew up the mountain.” I shook my head.

Payne sighed. “Regardless, she knows of his treacheries and she blames herself... as she should.” His tone hardened and his eyes narrowed.

“That's all in the past now. We're all right and that is what matters. We should talk to her and help her understand that."

Soren grabbed my arm. “Mila, there are some things that only time can heal."

“But if she knows we don't blame her, maybe she won't blame herself anymore.”

He shook his head. “If Eros really is her mate... she'll need time to get over his betrayal and come to terms with who he is. It can't be fixed overnight. We need to be patient with her."

“I agree. She'll come around but we need to give her time. I'll check on her later, don't worry.” Payne nodded.

"Alright, alright,” I agreed.

Payne and Thomas headed off to help square away the supplies.

I looked at Soren and frowned.

“I'd really like to help Ashley.”

“And you will. When she's ready.” he reached out and ran his thumb along my lower lip. “Come for a walk with me on this lovely evening?"

I bit my lip and nodded. “Okay.”

Soren took my hand and led me away from the clearing and the celebration.

I recognized the road we were on. It took us to the cabin that my parents kept as a small vacation retreat when I was a child.

I'd fixed the cabin up and refurnished it with simple furnishings. It was a nice place to visit but it wasn't close enough to the central village area. I had to be around the Norwind survivors a lot and being in a remote cabin was inconvenient.

“You know, even after coming here with you and learning what happened, I never imagined reviving this pack and the packland,” I said, tucking myself closer to Soren.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and gave me a side hug.

"You've accomplished so much, Mila, and in a very short time. Your parents would be proud of you.” I paused and creased my brow, tilting my head to meet his gaze.

“Would they be?"

Soren arched an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

“I used to think that I was abandoned by my birth parents, which made me resentful when I was young."

“I remember you telling me that before,” Soren nodded.

“But then I learned about what happened to the pack in that dream. I started to think they were the victims of someone else's greed or some conspiracy..."

"Where are you going with this Mila?"

“If what Sebastian said was true, then they could have been responsible for the destruction of our pack because of what they did to him..."

“I wouldn't put much stock in what Sebastian said. We don't know for sure what happened back then or why they moved against the king. It was a hurtful accusation from a desperate man." Soren squeezed me against him again.

I smiled lightly. “I know. It's not like I trust him or believe him entirely. I'm sure my parents had good reasons to do what they did... if they are, in fact, the ones that performed the soul exchange.” “Then why are you so worried?"

“I was just thinking that everything in my life always seems to take a strange turn... something I don't expect.”

Soren threw his head back and laughed. He pulled away from me and went to the couch in the cabin.

“I hate to break it to you, Mila, but that isn't just your life. It happens to everyone.”

I scoffed and shook my head at Soren. He was teasing me over something very serious! I thought about what he said and the more I thought about it, the more I realized he was right.

Sighing, 1 giggled slightly and put my hands on my hips.

"Okay, you're right. And here we are now... instead of avenging my parents, I brought people from one of their enemy packs to their land. If they were still alive, I imagine they'd scold the hell out of me."

I laughed somberly and sighed again.

"How I wish they could be here today to do that.”

Soren looked at me with deep, affectionate eyes. “Mila, I'm not your parents and I can't speak for them. However, there is one thing I know..."

He held his arm out to me. I walked across the living room and sat on the couch beside him. Soren grabbed my hips and pulled me closer.

I grinned and put my hands on his shoulders.

“What is that?"

"Any decision we make in life will only impact those who are living. Not those who have passed away."

Soren’s words relaxed me.

When I thought about it, it did feel strange that I'd brought people from an enemy pack to my parents’ land. Had I made the right choice?

Seeing how happy they were, Enzo and Ben, always smiling and lighthearted, I knew these people weren't my parents’ enemies.

Yes, I'd done the right thing.

I let out a long, slow breath and pressed my forehead to Soren's chest. I squeezed my hands around his strong shoulders.

“Thank you..."

Soren leaned down, his cheek pressing against mine. I could smell the faint scent of alcohol on his breath.

And why wouldn't I? We were at a party. I was pregnant, so I wasn't drinking, but that didn't mean Soren had to stop.

Soren rubbed my back soothingly.

Sitting with him, moonlight streaming into the cabin windows, it felt like the perfect night. The lights in the cabin were low and gentle but I could see the lights from the town through the window and it reminded me how happy everyone was at the party.

The cabin, the packland, the entire world seemed like it was made for just Soren and me.

I felt Soren’s warm breath on my neck and he chuckled.

“Umm... maybe you're right. Maybe your parents should be scolding you..."

He kissed my cheek and a shudder ran through me.

"Huh..."

Soren kissed my neck. He pulled back so I could see his face. He smirked at me, his eyes lit up with desire.

His voice became smooth as butter, sensual and alluring. Soren grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him.

“They should be scolding you for bringing a man to this cabin in the middle of the night, knowing that he has been craving you and wanting to... devour you... among other things.”

His eyes sparked again.

A shiver ran down my spine. I looped my arms around Soren’s neck and put myself in his lap, straddling him. He curled his hands around my hips. I pressed my lips to his ears.

“Well, they can be mad at me all they want. But there's nothing they can do about it because I am crazy about this man..."

I kissed Soren on the lips. He growled, tightening his arms around me. Soren rose up on his knees and lay me on the couch, his fingers quickly, and roughly, removing my dress.

I pulled his shirt off and pushed at his pants.

Soren nipped at my neck and eagerly helped me get him out of his clothes. He grabbed my wrists and held them above my head. Spurred on my lust, and maybe the alcohol too.

He kissed and nipped at my neck like he really would devour me whole!

Soren kissed down my chest. He moved his mouth to my right n****e, rolling his tongue over my puckered flesh. He pinched my other n****e lightly, tugging at it. My n*****s tightened into little buds.

His tongue pushed my n****e around. I arched my back, moaning as my core tightened.

Soren moved his mouth to my other breast, licking and sucking. His hand moved down my stomach, brushing my naval and over my mound. His fingers slipped between my legs, effortlessly gliding over my creamy folds.

I shuddered and clenched my thighs.

Soren kissed and nipped at my neck, his fingers caressing and pushing deeper. My swollen clit ached and I writhed on the couch. Soren’s fingers brushed my clit and I quivered, panting.

He smirked against my neck and rubbed my throbbing nub in slow, deliberate circles. My legs trembled and I knotted my hands in his hair, tugged at the roots.

“S-Soren..." I panted, pressure building in my core.

He grunted and kept circling his finger around my clit.

I arched my back, the pressure inside growing until...

Gasping and panting, my body undulated with the intense spasms of pleasure that ran through me. I clenched my legs around Soren's hand, desperate to prolong the feeling of my orgasm.

Soren chuckled lightly and moved his hand down my thigh, gently coaxing my legs apart.

I felt slick precum on my thigh from his swollen, firm c**k.

Suddenly, Soren paused.

I opened my eyes and looked at him. His brow was creased, a glazed over look in his eyes. Sighing, Soren pulled away and dressed quickly.

"What's wrong?"

“Thomas needs me. He thinks there was a perimeter breach. It is a matter of security.”

"Okay, go..." I tossed my hand to the door with a sigh.

Soren smirked. He leaned down and kissed me.

“If you wait here, I'll come back and we can pick up where we left off," he purred.

My stomach fluttered and I nodded.

After Soren left, I put my dress back on. I wasn't sure how long he'd be gone.

Suddenly I heard footfalls from outside, heavy wolf footfalls. My spine stiffened and I was on full alert.

I ran to the window and looked out. There were two wolves running through the fields. It looked like one was chasing the other. I recognized... Ashley! Ashley was the wolf chasing the other.

Without thinking, I ran to the cabin door and yanked it open. I wanted to shift and run after Ashley. Something fell out of the door. For a moment, I forgot what I was doing, seeing a white envelope addressed to me. Someone had stuck it in the door.

I grabbed the letter and put it in my pocket. I could read it later. Right now, I wanted to help Ashley.
