Sold AS The alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 159 War is Coming Again

**Rosalie’s POV

The agreement Ethan and I had made changed the situation I found myself in. Though I still would’ve preferred to go home, once he saw that I was living up to my end of the bargain, he began to show more leniency to me. Even later that first evening, he let Vicky come back into my room again.

“Ethan says that you can have the baby in here with you to sleep at night,” she explained as she brought me my child.

“Really?” I could hardly believe my ears. Until I’d fallen under Ethan’s clutches, I’d never been away from my baby for more than a few hours at a time. In the past few days, I had to find a way to fall asleep without him near me. Now the

situation might be changing, making it all worth it that I’d managed to choke down a bit of stew earlier.

“That’s right,” Vicky said with a smile as I took my child from her and held him close. He was hungry, so I started feeding him, lovingly stroking his little head, while Vicky continued. “I’ll go get the rest of his things.”

“Thank you, Vicky.” I told her, but she smiled back at me and said, “You don’t need to thank me. You did it, not me.”

A few minutes later, she was back with the meager items Ethan had managed to procure for our child. It wasn’t much, but he had a few changes of clothing, some cloth diapers, and a wooden bassinet that it looked like someone might have hand crafted for my boy.

I had to persuade myself that it wasn’t Ethan, because if I did, I would find myself willing to give in to him even more.

I caught a glimpse of the bracelet on his chubby arm, and no matter how hard I denied, I just couldn’t help but feel a stream of warmth flow through my heart. I thought about all of the lovely things my child had back at the palace, but it was strange that nothing seemed to be able to compare to the little bracelet that his father made him.

However, that didn’t mean that I planned to stay for long. If I was going to get out of his grasp, I was going to have to figure out a way to run away. That would be easier with the baby in the same tent as me at night. I had done it once before; I could do it again. Granted, it would be more difficult now, but that didn’t make it impossible.

I wasn’t planning to tell my friends-Vicky, Georgia, and maybe even Talon, I couldn’t put them in a spot to make a choice between me and their leader.

Once the baby was finished eating, I put him in his bed on top of a mattress that was made out of an old blanket and pillow. Everything here was makeshift.

“What’s going on with the rogues?” I asked Vicky, referring to the people she’d told me about earlier.

“Alpha has decided to get them proper training.” Vicky said with a smile. “Thank you so much for intervening on their behalf. I also thank you on behalf of Alpha. I knew, deep down, you did it for his own sake.”
