Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 645

Chapter 145 : Missing a Son

*Xander*

From what I understood, the Alpha of Drogomor was once a stand-alone title that hadn’t always been connected to the title of Alpha King of Valoria.

Ethan had been the first to hold both titles, and he had passed the title onto his nephew Ernest in order for Rosalie to rule in Winter Forest. Ethan had kept the title of Alpha King during that time, and when Ernest stepped down from the seat of the Alpha of Drogomor, Rowan took his rightful place upon that throne.

Now Rowan held both titles, the Alpha King of Valoria and the Alpha of Drogomor. He’d held the dual titles for nearly as long as his own father had.

The Drogomor pack wasn’t large by any means. Its territory encompassed the area of “Old Town,” which bordered the sprawling city of Mirage, where a handful of packs surrounded the city, their people mingling with other packs on a day-to-day basis.

Drogomor was old and had long, winding roots in the culture of the east. The title should have been Lena’s by birthright, but she was a woman.

And so far, very few packs had let go of the notion that the males were the ones destined to inherit the title of Alpha over their daughters and sisters.

I already knew that Lena had no interest in becoming the Alpha of Drogomor. She’d never even mentioned it, but I knew it was something Rowan had been considering. As the Alpha King of Valoria, placing his daughter on the throne as an Alpha would have been a tremendous upset to some of the more old-fashioned Alphas.

But putting his nephew on the throne?

No one would bat an eyelash to that, except maybe Oliver himself.

With Charlie set to step into the role as Alpha of Breles alongside his mate, who had very distant ties to the family who laid claim to the title, and Will and Hollis taking over as the Alpha and Luna of Poldesse, Oliver was the only triplet who currently had no claim to any territory.

And as I stood in Rowan’s office on the first floor of the castle, I realized Oliver would likely want to keep it that way.

No one would know for sure, not for a while at least, because Oliver was missing, and had been for months. There had been no word from him. No one had seen him, not even a glimpse in passing. There was a rumor that he was in Dianny, but Alpha Robbie and his Luna quickly set things straight in that regard. They hadn’t seen him–no one had.

But today, we’d gotten a single shred of news.

“His house is completely empty. It was packed up and sold to one of his friends,” Charlie said as he turned from the window to face the men congregated in the office. “His friend said the sale had been done through a mediator. He never saw or talked to Oliver.”

Troy ran his tongue over his teeth, glancing down at the floor. Rowan exhaled through his nose, nostrils flaring as he shook his head.

“There are only so many places he can go,” I said, tapping my fingers lightly on the windowsill as I mulled the situation over in my head.
