Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 675

Chapter 22 : Does That Seem Fair?

I stared at Soren for a long moment, frozen in place.

Scoffing, I threw my head back. Of course, last night was just a means to an end for him. He would use it to his advantage now and find out what was in the box.

I’d made the deal that he would protect me but now that we’d sealed it, he could use whatever leverage he wanted. He could tell me that if I didn’t show him what was in the box, he wouldn’t help me.

Just because I’d given him my body didn’t mean he had to respect that or honor it. With how casually he was treating last night, he clearly didn’t realize how big of a deal it was for me.

It was just his way of using me. He got his own physical satisfaction, like any man would want, and now he was going to satisfy his curiosity, and his own ambition if he wanted what was in the box.

Every time he tried to hide his intentions, I saw the truth come through.

He was no different than any other man.

Had last night been a joke?

Soren probably saw me as nothing more than one of “those women” he’d referenced who showed up at his door in the middle of the night.

And maybe I was no better…

I glared at the floor and looped my arms around my waist. I’d been the one to offer my body as payment. But I had truly wanted there to be an alliance between us, a real one.

Soren seemed to have other plans.

My jaw tensed and I kept glaring at a knot in the hardwood floor. If I had any sense at all, I’d run from Soren now and leave him with the bitter memory of the night we spent together without ever fulfilling his true desire, to look into the box!

Sighing, I relaxed my arms and opened my eyes fully. Perhaps, there was another way to salvage this situation.

Last night was full repayment for the times he’d saved my life. From now on, whatever happened between us could be purely business.

“Have you already looked in the box?” Soren asked, pulling me from my thoughts.

Thinking fast, I nodded. It was a lie, but I needed to keep the upper hand in this situation.

“I did look,” I said, offering no further detail.

Soren arched an eyebrow at me and I smiled coyly.
