Sold AS The alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 3: Unwanted Attention

Regardless of how shocked I was, I realized that I needed to say something, or do something before I was severely pun ished for falling into the prince.

Based on the royals’ reputation, it probably didn’t matter that it was Sophia’s fault. I’d messed up, and that was it.

“Miss Black, I had thought that you were better than that. Now, as punishment for your unruly behavior….” As expected, it certainly didn’t matter to the unforgiving Beta.

I could sense danger in Xavier’s tone, but it was even more frightening that he actually knew who I was.

I’d assumed that Xavier, being the Beta of the Alpha King, wasn’t someone who could easily be fooled. But I hadn’t ex pected him to have already learned everything about us.

I heard Sophia’s voice as she snickered behind me. “Serves her right.”

My heart sank even more. For the first time in a long time, I started to panic. All I could do was pray that I hadn’t brought disaster to my pack.

But before my sentence was announced, I heard a calm yet authoritative voice say, “All is well. No need to overreact, Beta Xavier.”

“Thank goodness you’re unharmed, Prince Warren!”

“Prince… Warren?” | shouldn’t have spoken aloud when I

was still standing right next to him, but he acknowledged my

question with a slight nod.

“I believe the ground is a bit uneven here.” He looked at me. “Are you all right?”

I finally got the chance to fully appreciate how handsome he was, and my heart stopped beating for just a moment.

My voice was trapped somewhere in the back of my throat, but I managed to nod and then forced myself to say, “Yes, Your Highness. Thank you, and I apologize.”

“No need.” The prince had a faint smile on his face. Then he turned to Beta Xavier. “Carry on.”

Beta Xavier bowed deeply. “Yes, Your Highness.”

The crowd of girls continued along the path, and I was swept up in it. I reminded myself to pay better attention and turned to face the front, while I was still pondering the entire incident.

Prince Warren! Thank the Goddess he wasn’t the cruel Prince Theo! I almost felt happy tears began to form in the corners of my eyes.

But then, how could the enchanting young man I’d met long ago be a prince? It was in a forest so far away from the capital… I couldn’t have possibly encountered a royal there, could I?
