Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 709

Chapter 54 : Catching Up

*Soren*

As Mila left the village, I watched her back fade into the darkness. I shook my head.

So, she was off on another venture on her own. She still hadn’t learned anything.

I hadn’t expected her to stick around, especially after she refused my request to stay. I had expected her to keep me in the loop as she promised to do.

Was I getting soft by believing she’d change?

Fortunately, I was prepared for her not to change. I was prepared for her to do something like this.

Payne joined me on the porch. He handed me a travel backpack.

“Ready to go?” he asked me, looking into the darkness after Mila.

“Let’s do it,” I said. Shouldering my backpack.

Payne nodded respectfully.

I’d noticed a change in Payne since he’d told me everything about Mila and Pomeni pack and the artifact. He was showing a lot of respect and care toward Mila. It seemed like he supported everything she chose to do now but he’d still be there to help her out when she needed it.

He never complained or showed any impatience anymore.

We headed down the street but hurried steps came after us before we got far.

“Wait! Wait for me!” Ashley called, running up behind us.

“Ashley, what are you doing here?” Payne asked, creasing his brow.

Ashley scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Why wouldn’t I be here? You’re going after Mila, aren’t you?”

She looked between me and Payne. I glanced at Payne.

“Aren’t you?” she pressed.

“Yes,” I confirmed, nodding.

“Then I want to go, too. If she really is the heir to our Alpha and Luna, then she’s the only hope for us to reestablish our pack,” Ashley pointed out.

“If we’re going to go, we’ve got to go. She’s not far and we can still catch her,” I said, nodding down the street.

Ashley and Payne nodded and followed along with me. I hadn’t thought to invite Ashley initially but it made sense now that she’d explained it to us.

We caught up to Mila in the next village, just as the sun was rising.

I paused and held Ashley and Payne back.

“You don’t want to go to her?” Ashley asked, creasing her brow.

“Not yet… I want to know what she’s doing…” I said in a low voice.
