Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 416

Chapter 74: I’ll Take That as a Yes.

Alright, Tallis and Theo might be two different people, but they both could be jerks!

Since the conversation with Tallis didn’t go anywhere, I decided to call it a night.

But what I didn’t expect was a group of thick, muscular thugs that appeared from nowhere, blocking my way back to my parents’ house. They snickered and closed in around me.

“What do you want?” I asked harshly.

“They don’t want anything. However, we have an unfinished score to settle,” Hawke’s angry, frustrated voice barked out from behind the thugs.

“I didn’t do anything to you,” I insisted, crossing my arms and trying to act more like a guy.

“Well, the last time we spoke, I ended up knocked out and face down in the dirt. You’re telling me that you had nothing to do with that?” Hawke shouted viciously.

Apparently, he remembered more than I hoped. He wasn’t drunk tonight, either.

“Grab this little twit!” Hawke ordered.

His thugs jumped at me. I jumped back, but they’d already closed in around me and one caught me from behind. All four of them grabbed my arms and legs and pinned me down to the ground.

I struggled against them, hissing and trying to bite whatever got close to my mouth. Hawke’s thugs were too well trained and they were too strong!

“Hold that little swine down. I’m going to teach him a lesson for messing with me,” Hawke chuckled, shoving the toe of his boot into the ground.

Now that I was eye level with his boots, I could see they were steel toed. If he kicked me with those, he’d break every bone in my body. I had to stall him.

“That’s funny, seeing as the last time we met, you seemed to be interested in me, regardless of me being a boy,” I hissed, still struggling against his cronies holding me down.

One of them nearly let me go as his head whipped around to Hawke.

Hawke sneered and shook his head. “Don’t listen to this piece of crap. He’s just trying to mess with you. Hold him steady.”

Nothing I said now would turn their heads. Whether they were all loyal to Hawke or to Hawke’s cunning dad, it wouldn’t save me a good beating.

Hawke pulled his foot back, knee bent, ready to deliver a horrible kick to my side. I closed my eyes and held my breath, waiting for the heavy blow.

It never came.

“What the…”

I opened my eyes just as a pack of wild animals burst from the forest and attacked Hawke.

“Get them off, get them off!” Hawke screeched, flapping his partially broken arms around like he was fending off a swarm of bees.

His cronies ran at him, trying to pull the beasts away, but when
