Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 142 The White Queen

#Ethan’s POV

“Great evil awaits you in the land of icy winters where the moose run thick and the queen has slept these

many years. Do not proceed down your chosen path, Alpha Ethan Gray. If you do, the ground will be

coated in crimson, and you shall see the world through orbs of the same shade!”

The seer’s words echoed in my mind.

I looked up. Blood had coated the ground from the constant battles. We’d fought our way here, and the

war had ravaged this land. Crimson soaked into the earth, staining the soil, the rocks, the land itself.

And my eyes were now the same shade.

I saw Rosalie holding my child. Her smile was so gentle on him, and the sight of them melted my heart. I

smiled and walked closer to her.

But then she saw me. Her gentle smile was replaced by terror, and she screamed. “Who are you?! Don’t

come over, you monster!”

My eyes snapped open and I realized I had dozed off with my back against a tree trunk in a sitting

position.

I stared up at the stars, my mind returned to the words the seer, Gayla, had told me in the village around

the time that my baby was born

Many things had changed since then, and I had no choice but to head north.

Because that’s where Rosalie was, and I could also feel the pull from my baby urging me to hurry to

where they were.

However, my decision to continue my path to the north had come with a price, and the words the seer

had foretold came to pass.

My eye color started to alter.

The differences were subtle at first. I noticed a slight change in tinge from blue to lavender, and then to

purple. Now… even though no one said anything, from the worried looks of Talon and Vicky, I knew my

eyes had started to reflect the color of blood.

A sign of my soul being taken by darkness.

James had banished me. I was a wolf without a home. The others had come out of loyalty to me. They

hadn’t been made to leave or been displaced from their country the way that I had been.

None of them were officially rogues.

But I was. A man without a home; a wolf without a pack.

I was turning into a true rogue.

I didn’t regret my choice. However, I couldn’t help but be apprehensive.

While I could accept it for myself, what would Rosalie or my child think when they see me?

Would they think I was an enemy? Would they label me as some sort of a monster?

I had no way of knowing, but I certainly hoped to find out soon because all of this time spent traveling to

find them was tearing me apart. However, Rosalie seemed to have just disappeared, and all I could do

was keep searching for her.

Chapter 142 The White Queen

Thinking back to what my life had been like before, when my biggest worry was having an heir and

figuring out a way to get out of marrying Madalynn, I realized that my life had not been complex or

difficult at all.

I had always thought I could handle everything in my life my pack, my country, my enemies-until I met

Rosalie. I finally understood that there were things I could never control. Just like now, I simply wanted to

be with my love and my child, but I had no way of knowing when this search would end.

Vicky came over and sat down next to me. She seemed worried at first, but soon, she managed to put a

small smile on her face. Even though I preferred not to speak, it didn’t keep her from trying to talk to me.

“How are you doing?” she asked me, leaning against the same wide tree trunk I was resting against.

I grunted a bit, not wanting to converse. Perhaps I was becoming an animal….

“I can’t wait to see her,” Vicky said, looking out into the distance, like if she strained hard enough, Rosalie

might come into focus. “You know? I think it will be soon. It’s like I can feel it inside of me, that she’s

nearby.” She smiled and wrapped her arms around her knees.

I said nothing. I agreed with her, though. I also felt like Rosalie and the baby were nearby. Sometimes I

felt the pull stronger than normal, but I just couldn’t tell exactly where they were.

She placed her hand on my leg. “Alpha, I know it’ll be difficult, but Talon and I will help her to see the

truth, that you had gone to the islands for her, and that Soren was lying. Don‘t worry.”

A nod was all she would get out of me.

Vicky wasn’t one for giving up, but she stopped talking, just sitting with me for a few minutes until we

heard a bit of a commotion. We both got up to go see what was going on.

‘Alpha,’ Richard’s voice sounded in my mind. I’ve come across a group of nine rogues.’

‘You need reinforcements?’ I responded right away. A group of nine wasn’t big, but I’d rather playit safe

for my guys.

However, Richard’s reply was not what I expected. ‘No, Alpha. In fact, their leader would like to speak to

you.’

‘About what?

‘About our operations here, sir,’ Richard replied.

There were only nine of them, so even if they weren’t trustworthy, we would be able to handle them.

“Bring them in,‘ I told him.

A few moments later, Richard walked into camp with a rag-tag mix of people, most of them men, though

there were a couple of women. All of them were in tattered clothing, and many my age or older. One

looked like he was barely old enough to shift, but the rest appeared to be seasoned enough to put up a

good fight.

The man in the lead was short and stocky, but pure muscle. What stood out most was that he was

missing his left eye, but rather than using a glass eye or cover it with a patch, he simply had a gaping

hole in his head.

I heard Vicky take a long breath at the sight of him. She tried her best to act normal, but I could tell she

was somewhat disturbed

I met them on the edge of the camp so that they wouldn‘t get too much information about our operations

here.

You are new here,” the leader said, extending a dirty hand in my direction. “Everyone’s been talking

about you. Ever since you came, you haven’t lost a fight. Impressive.”

I narrowed my eyes and ignored his hand. I didn’t care whether a rogue would find me offensive or not.

“I‘m not here to make friends. What do you need?”

He shrugged and pulled his hand back, introducing himself. “They call me Single Eye.”

Chapter 149 The White Queen

A fitting name, I thought.

“We are here to join you, if you will have us.” He got right to the point, not beating around the bush any

more,

“Why is that?” I folded my arms across my chest. I didn’t need anyone joining my ranks that I couldn‘t

completely trust.

He took a deep breath and put his hands on his hips. “Honestly, there are way too many f*cking groups

of rogues in this area, some quite small, others thousands strong. We have been working with a group

for a few years, but the leader is too f*cking weak compared to you. We don‘t think that we will be any

match for that f*cking b*tch the White Queen as it is right now.”

“The White Queen?” I repeated his words, the word queen sticking out to me. The Seer’s words came

back to me.

“The queen has slept these many years…”

Before or after the war, none of my intel in the past had mentioned any unidentified power in the north. It

sounded to me that she was new to her reign.

Interesting

“Yes, that’s right,” he nodded. I pushed my thoughts away for now so that I could listen to what he had to

say.

“She’s leading an army from the far north. They’re not rogues. They’re a pack that seems to have come

out of nowhere, but those motherf*ckers can fight! Many groups have tried to attack them but ended up

losing to those sons of b*tches! If that bitch gets here, we might be chased out of this area. We need a

new leader.”

“I have no interest.”

I frowned. For some reason, I didn‘t like how he spoke about her. However, I tried to focus on what he

had said. A pack in the north?

“Hear me out here,” he knew he wasn’t going to convince me so easily. “I don‘t know what you came

here for, but it seems like you want your operations to stay here for a while. Sooner or later, you will have

to deal with the rest of the rogues as well as the White Queen. But you don’t have a large group. Let

alone there are now some crazy *ss guys out there besides you.”

This time, I didn‘t comment. He had a point. I knew nothing of the White Queen. I would have to take his

word for it that she had tough fighters in her forces. My curiosity about her would have to be sated later.

“The situation in this area has been much the same for many, many years. But now that she’s here…

things are changing, and not for the best. Not for us anyway.” Single Eye slowly shook his head as if

lamenting the old days. “We just want to be a part of the one rogue force that has a good chance at

defeating her, or at the very least escaping her clutches.”

“Alpha, what he is saying makes sense,’ Talon said through mindlink.

While I agreed with him, I was leery of adding anyone to my group that I didn‘t know.

“How do I know I can trust you?” I asked Single Eye.

“We’ll make a pledge to you, of course,” their leader replied. All of us are seasoned fighters. Even the kid

back there.” He gestured at the younger boy. “We can give you our word that we’ll stay loyal and fight

alongside you.”

“No offense.” Talon said to him, “but I‘m not sure the word of a rogue is that meaningful. Especially since

you just betrayed your current leader.”

Then split us up. It’ll be harder for us to organize against you if we’re in different details. We just want an

opportunity to join a group that can stand a chance to survive. That’s all.”

I surveyed the group. All of them looked tired. Like they’d been on the run for quite some time and could

use a break.

“Fine,” I said. “Paul, take these new recruits and split them among the details. I don’t want any two of

them together.”

were giud fighters but we could use some help for patrolling. Also, it sounded like the White Queen could

me trouble for me and I needed to be prepared.

Pau, who had become quite loyal to me since his arrival, jumped to attention and immediately went

about doing exactly alhad asked

Once they had disseminated Talon came over to me. “Alpha, I’ll keep an eye on them.’ I nodded, walking

over to Richard he was taking to some of the other warriors, ‘Richard, go back out and finish scouting. If

you hear anything about this white Queen I want to know about it

Yes se Richard said respectfully Samuel is still out there. He went in the other direction. Hopefully, we

will have same good intel for you before nightfall.”
