Chapter 141:
“Aurora,” he answered, as if reading my thoughts.
“Aurora?” I asked, trying to process his words in my mind. How was that even possible?
Aurora was too pure for the life of a breeder. She was too tender and innocent. I couldn’t bring myself to hurt her feelings.
Aurora deserved a mate who would love her, someone who wanted her for more than just selfish reasons. It would break her heart to find out the cruel fate of a breeder.
After the child is born, the mother is terminated. In rare cases, the mother might live a few months to breastfeed the child before she is killed.
Aurora didn’t deserve such a fate.
“Don’t think about it too much, My King. She is our only choice.”
“But we could get other girls from the neighboring packs,” I protested, hoping that would be enough to convince him.
“At this point, no one can be trusted. Since Aurora has been here for a few months, she is the best option,” Jasper said, his tone emotionless.
All my life, I thought I was without a heart—ruthless, cruel, dangerous—until I met Aurora.
She possessed a strange fire in her that revived emotions I had long buried.
“Her job is not to become my breeder,” I argued, trying hard not to let Jasper sense my support for her.
“She is your property. Her job is to obey. You have every right to do whatever you want with her at any time,” he said, his voice cold and detached. I didn’t know Jasper could sound so heartless.
He was right, though. Her objections meant nothing. She was mine—for life. Mine to use, mine to play with, mine to break.

But I couldn’t ignore the strange feeling twisting in my gut.
“What if she isn’t medically fit to carry a child, just like Rosa?” I gritted my teeth as anger and disgust surged in my chest at the thought of the bitch’s name. That was her punishment for deceiving me. She couldn’t stay barren forever. Knowing her condition, I wondered how long she wanted to keep playing games, or what she would do when the delivery date was due. Maybe she’d fake a miscarriage… since everything about her was fake.
To think that I spent the entire night brainstorming a suitable name for the baby. I had never felt so stupid in my life.
“Fuck her!”
“Trust me, my King, that girl is medically fit to carry a child. I’ve thought about this situation whenever there have been threats against you. After the last failed palace coup, I had the doctor run a secret test on Aurora when she was ill. She confirmed that Aurora is capable of carrying a pregnancy and delivering the child safely. You don’t need to worry about anything,” Jasper reassured, taking the tobacco from my fingers.
“There’s always a solution to every problem. You don’t need to drown yourself in alcohol and tobacco.”
It was crazy how he had run a fertility test on Aurora without my knowledge. A part of me wanted desperately to believe him, while another part felt deep reluctance.
“Look at the bright side. There will be no more attacks once she delivers your son, and you get to rule your kingdom for a long time. No one will dare mock you for being childless.”
