Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 693

Chapter 40 : You Shouldn’t be Surprised

*Mila*

Strong, warm arms wrapped around me in a firm, secure embrace. I felt light and safe, protected and cared for.

My mind was a bit hazy and I couldn’t remember where I was but something cool slipped down my throat and I greedily swallowed it. The liquid quenched my parched mouth and throat and I wanted more.

I sucked at the source of where the water was coming from, my mind clearing with the more water I got.

The powerful arms around me tightened slightly and I felt like I could have melted into them forever. I’d be safe and happy there, no need to leave.

My throat eased and I started to come back to myself.

Sighing against the water source, I slowly opened my eyes.

A bright pair of grayish-blue orbs peered down at me. Startled, I tried to pull back, but those strong arms kept me encapsulated.

After a moment, I realized it was Soren’s handsome face behind those lovely eyes, hovering so close to me.

He pulled his mouth from mine and I gasped. He’d been feeding me water through his lips! It was strange and sweet. How out of it did I have to be for him to need to feed me water like that?

“You’re awake,” Soren said, smirking. He still held me in his powerful arms and I didn’t try to pull away again.

“Ah…”

My throat spasmed and my dry, cracked voice only made a harsh sound. I rubbed my throat, wishing for that cool sensation from the water to come back.

I glanced around the room. It was Soren’s hotel room. How had I gotten back here? The last thing I remembered was breaking the curse.

Abruptly, I sat up, forcing Soren to lean back slightly and loosen his arms on me. I looked out the window and saw the sun shining brightly.

Relief swept through me and I sighed. The curse was broken!

“You’ve been running a fever and are pretty dehydrated,” Soren said.

I turned my attention back to him and nodded. That’s why the water had tasted so good, like life itself, and why my throat was so messed up.

“Don’t try to talk now, if you can help it,” he suggested.

I nodded again and leaned against his chest.

Soren chuckled and ran his fingers through my hair. He moved his hands to my upper arms and gently eased me back on the bed. As I lay down, he fluffed my pillow a little.
