Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 678

Chapter 25 : You’re Descended from Witches

Mila’s door cracked as I pulled the lock right off in my haste to open it.

She was sitting on the floor, staring off into space, completely still like a statue.

A chair was flipped over and glass was shattered all over the table and floor. Water dripped off the edges of the table. Some of the drops hit her legs and she didn’t even react.

What the hell had happened?

Quickly, I assessed Mila. She didn’t appear to be injured. I couldn’t smell blood and none of her bones were broken. She just sat there, staring off into space, perfectly still.

Was she in shock?

I swooped down and grabbed her shoulders.

“Mila, are you okay, what happened?” I asked.

She didn’t move or react. Her eyes stayed distant and I noticed how pale she was. I shook her a little harder.

“Mila!”

Her head wobbled back and forth but she still didn’t say anything or move. I couldn’t even tell if she was breathing.

She was completely in shock, her hands balled into fists in her lap.

I raised a hand and gently patted her cheek.

“Mila, what happened?”

She blinked and her eyes snapped to me like she was seeing me for the first time. There was no expression there. She was blank, in shock.

“Soren?” she asked.

“Yes. It’s me. Are you okay, what happened here?” I asked. I nodded toward the mess on the table and the chair.

Slowly, Mila lifted her hands. She turned them up and uncurled her fingers. In her right palm, she had a fistful of ash. It wasn’t light and feathery like ashes pulled from a fire pit. They were densely packed together.

Maybe that was because she’d held them so tightly in her hand but I’d never seen ashes like that.

“What is it?” I asked.

Mila blinked at me. She glanced at her hand and then pulled away. Quickly she jumped to her feet and tossed the ashes on the floor. She clapped her hands together and wiped away the residue.

“It’s nothing,” she said, backing away from me more.

The ashes were collected in a small pile on the ground. It was unusual behavior for ashes. They might float away or scatter but not drop into a pile like grains of sand.
