Chapter 144:
The life of a breeder was a nightmare. I didn’t want that life. I’d rather be the King’s property than face death the moment I gave life to my child.
Maybe I wasn’t meant to live.
“There’s no need to check your vitals because Jasper has already ordered the doctor to run some tests on you,” he said flatly.
How had he switched his feelings so quickly? One minute, he seemed to care, making me fall for him desperately. The next, he was cold and distant.
“Be ready tonight. Come to my chambers at seven-thirty. I’ll have Alex bring you your dress. I will not tolerate lateness,” he said with a scowl before turning and walking out, slamming the door behind him.
Time was ticking. I needed to act fast.
Goddess, I hate him!

Helpless, I sat on the bed, weeping profusely as Alex assisted me with my dress.
Should I even call it a dress?
I was clad in lace lingerie—a red, transparent bra and panties with a red rope that connected the bra to my neck.
Great.
Now I looked like a slut.
Maybe it would have been better to just go naked, since there was no difference between the lingerie and my bare body.
I gulped down the fear that clogged my throat as goosebumps prickled my skin. The more the clock ticked, the faster my heart raced.

Hiding wasn’t a solution. Running away was a bad idea, considering the castle was surrounded by hundreds of guards, day and night.
There was no way I wouldn’t get caught.
Even if I somehow managed to escape the castle, I wouldn’t last long outside. I might be attacked by wild beasts or hunters. I had no place to go, and no one would dare shelter the Alpha King’s property if it meant trouble.
I was done for.
“Now isn’t the time for regret, Aurora. Everything that happened wasn’t your fault,” Alex whispered gently, her words causing my tears to increase as they ran down my exposed chest.
Her hand squeezed my shoulder tenderly before it dropped. I missed the warmth from her touch.
I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and met her brown eyes, my own red and swollen from crying.
Of course, it was his fault. If it weren’t for that monster, I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t have become his breeder.
“Just accept your fate—”
“No!” My voice stopped her, though it was cracked, it was loud and piercing, throwing her off balance.
