Sold AS The alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 109 : An Upsetting Interuptions

*Mila*

I watched as all of the Norwind survivors ran toward the newcomers. A large group of people were coming in through the magical maze I’d made.

Payne was coming back with several of Soren’s warriors. The Norwind survivors knew him and recognized him, of course, they’d be excited.

Smiling, I followed along as they ran over to greet Payne and the other warriors.

Whenever they came by, they’d bring more food and supplies to help keep the new packland thriving.

Soren spared no expense in helping the pack survivors get settled.

Ben ran along beside me.

“Wow, Miss Mila, you’re right! The forest did let our friends through. That’s so… magical!”

I chuckled and patted his head. “Well, it is a spell I cast, so you’re right, it is magical.”

Ben giggled and went off to help some of the warriors with their supplies. He always wanted to be part of whatever was happening.

I looked at Payne and nodded. “Welcome back, Payne.”

He bowed to me. His lips were unusually tight, jaw tense. He had purple bags under his eyes and he sighed heavily. I got the feeling that his spirits were very low. He was a little off.

I was surprised by this. Payne was usually so composed and emotionally steady. I’d rarely ever seen him show his emotions openly. Whatever was bothering him had to be serious enough to throw him off balance.

For the moment, I didn’t address it.

I made sure all the warriors and Norwind members were helping unload the supplies and put food away.

Soren and Thomas joined me with Payne. Soren shook Payne’s hand. “Welcome back, Payne. “I thought Ashley was coming back with you.”

“Oh, that’s right, I wanted to talk to her,” I muttered.

Payne bowed his head. “She did come with me… but she said she’s tired and wanted to rest.”

I glanced around at the clearing. The party was still in full swing. There were people laughing, dancing, and drinking. Ashley loved parties and celebrations.

She was totally a social butterfly.

It wasn’t like her to “need rest” in the middle of an event like this.

I wondered if something was wrong.

Why would she be hiding herself?

“Payne, is she okay?” I arched an eyebrow at him.

He nodded firmly. His reaction was too quick and fast. Suddenly, he sighed and his shoulders slouched. He shook his head.

“It’s because of Eros, isn’t it?”

We’d all suspected that Ashley was the one to release Eros. She probably didn’t think he’d come after us and steal the artifact and cause trouble.

“Ashley learned about everything that happened in the Norwind territory. Specifically, everything Eros did. Ever since then, she’s locked herself in her room,” he explained.

“She should know that what Eros did isn’t her fault!”

Payne sniffed and shook his head. “Mila, she admitted that she was the one who let Eros out. If she hadn’t given in and released him…”

“Eros is her mate. The pull between them is strong, I’m sure she just wants to believe he has good in him,” I argued, crossing my arms.

“Perhaps, but if she had not released him, he wouldn’t have taken the artifact. He was obviously there as an agent of the king and he could have been the one to blow up the mountain, nearly killing you.”
