Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 683

Chapter 30 : If You Can’t Help, No One Can

I stared at the hole where Soren disappeared. Blood rushed in my ears and I felt numb. I couldn’t hear anything or feel anything. All I could do was stare at the chasm.

Worry crept into my veins. Was it only seconds that passed or had hours gone by? Time stood still completely and I held my breath, waiting for him to emerge.

I didn’t expect to be worried about him but it felt like too much time had passed. No sounds or movement came from the darkness.

“Screw it,” I muttered. I was going to go in after him and find out what happened!

I slipped away from Ashley, vaulting over a nearby piece of rubble, and launched myself straight toward the chasm.

A strong arm looped around my waist and pulled me to a halt. I lurched, the wind getting knocked out of me again.

Gasping and heaving, I tried to catch my breath. All I could do was glare at the person that stopped me.

It was Payne this time.

“Don’t worry. The boss knows what he’s doing. You don’t need to do anything risky,” he warned.

“But…”

“Just wait. He’ll come back. He always does.” There was a strange hint of sarcasm in Payne’s voice.

Together, we stared at the chasm.

Again, it felt like hours could have gone by. I didn’t understand why the rest of Soren’s loyal followers were just standing there.

Didn’t they care about him? Didn’t they want to save him?

Grunting and heavy breathing came from the chasm.

I clutched my heart as Soren’s large wolf form appeared. He was dragging something with his mouth. It was a woman. Her body was limp and unmoving.

Soren dropped her on the ground near my feet. He bowed his head and then disappeared behind some rubble.

“See, he knows what he’s doing. You just have to give him a couple of minutes,” Payne said, nodding.

“A couple of minutes?” I whispered to myself.

I shook my head thinking Soren had been gone a lot longer than that. Hadn’t he?

Looking down at the woman at my feet, I noticed she was very pale. I couldn’t see any wounds on her or smell blood, so I didn’t think Soren had injured her. She was dressed like the residents from Miltern pack and in her early twenties.

“That’s the woman who delivered your flowers. I recognize her cloak and her scent,” Payne said.

“She attempted to attack me. I rendered her unconscious,” Soren said. He reappeared from around the rubble, his black clothes on his body again.

“You didn’t hurt her, did you?” I asked, arching an eyebrow.
