Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 713

Chapter 58 : Revenge or Hope?

“What?” I gasped, my hands slipping on the water bottle.

Payne reacted quickly, coming to my side. He grabbed the water bottle and clasped my hands around it.

My mind raced in a million directions as I tried to figure out if I’d heard him correctly. Payne was offering to be my Beta? Why?

“Has Soren gotten his water?” he asked. “We should focus on him first.”

“I… yes, I gave him water,” I said, glancing at Soren.

He was resting soundly and easily. His breathing steady and his skin wasn’t as flushed. Hopefully, that meant his fever was coming down.

“Perhaps we should let him rest. Care to talk outside?” Payne asked. He took the water bottle from my hands.

“Um… sure…”

In a slight daze, I followed Payne out of the tent, glancing back once more to make sure that Soren was resting easily.

Payne was already outside. He still held the water bottle, his eyes fixed on the stars.

I made sure to leave the tent flap open so I could look inside and see Soren. If he needed anything, I’d be able to get to him quickly.

Payne had been acting strange around me for a while. He’d been giving me these looks and keeping Ashley from saying “too much” around me. He’d been testing my reactions and responses to things. I’d known it was happening but I never knew why.

But asking to be my Beta was the weirdest thing he’d done by far.

“Do you have something you want to tell me?” I asked when he didn’t look at me or speak to me for a while.

Payne chuckled lightly. “Yes, I did.”

“You did… what about now?” I asked.

“So much has happened. I’m not really sure where to start…”

“Try starting from the beginning,” I suggested.

Payne gave me a sideways look and he smirked. His smirk wasn’t sarcastic or mocking like Soren’s. Payne’s smirk was kind and humorous.
