Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 664

Chapter 11: I Needed Them Dead

With Mila gone, there was no need for me to keep sleeping in the guest room. I grabbed my clothes and headed to my own room again.

As soon as I walked in, I ran into a thick wall of her sweet, delicious scent. My mouth watered and I licked my lips.

What was I doing? There was no need to get all slobbery over a girl I’d never see again.

Huffing, I tossed my clothes into a drawer. I could fold them later. When I sat on the bed something clinked and I looked at the pillow.

I raised an eyebrow when I saw a small pile of jewelry and valuable knick-knacks.

There was one piece I recognized. A ring. It was the ring Ashley had told me would be appropriate compensation for us caring for Mila.

Slowly, I reached out and touched the ring. Had she left all these as payment? What was way more generous than Ashley anticipated. I wonder what she would say when she learnt about this.

I picked through the items on my pillow and examined that ring. It was too small to slide past my top knuckle on my pinky. The ring was so dainty, despite being antique and intricate.

After a close look, I felt like the design etched on the ring was familiar somehow. A distant memory nagged at the back of my head but I couldn’t place it.

I tucked the ring in my pocket and went downstairs.

Payne was in the bar with the late-night security shift. None of them were drinking, because they were on duty, but they sat around chatting casually.

“Soren, I thought you went to bed,” Payne greeted me as others slightly bowed their heads. I wasn’t their alpha, but they didn’t pay me less respect.

“I was on my way,” I admitted.

“Looking for me for something specific?”

“Mila left her valuables behind,” I said. “I think it was for payment.”

“Did she?” Payne asked, but that wasn’t really a question that I needed to answer. “Well, good for her. Now Ashley could shut up. We certainly didn’t expect that.”

“Neither did I…” I sighed and pulled the ring from my pocket. “Especially something like this.”

I put the ring down on the bar between the two of us and waited for Payne’s reaction.

His eyes narrowed and then he sucked in a sharp breath. His eyes widened and he creased his brow.

It looked like he was familiar with the ring.

After a moment, Payne’s eyelids dropped halfway and I could practically see the gears turning in his head.

“You’ve seen something like this before?” I asked, flicking the ring lightly.

“I… maybe?” he said, scrunching up his face.
