Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 811
Chapter 22 : The Truth Always Reveals Itself
Dinner passed in a blur of conversation. Archer and Brandt finished several helpings of food before they relaxed into a guarded examination of the people sitting with us at the table. I watched them, wondering what they were seeing and hearing that I couldn’t.
Jared gently refused Aeris’s offer of a nightcap in Aeris’s private library, saying our crew needed to rest.
I rose from the table and followed the men out of the room, but I could feel the stares grazing the back of my neck as we crossed into the hallway and walked back to the wing that housed our bedrooms.
“Goodnight–” I began, trying to turn into my bedroom, but Jared reached out and grabbed my arm.
He opened the door to his room and ushered all of us inside.
“So,” Jared said, crossing the room to the bar cart along the far wall. He poured four glasses of what looked like scotch, then handed them to us. “What did you find out?”
Archer drank deeply, extending his glass for another dram.
“There was some talk of Ambrose but no one in his circle seemed to know what Ambrose used his stolen money on,” Brandt began, swirling his glass. “There is a ball tomorrow night, and the Alpha King of Egoren has sent a warning to Aeris about what sounded like Suncrest spies in the capital. The spies were apprehended and are being held by Alpha King Alexander’s warriors.”
I looked from man to man, wondering how the hell Brandt was able to gather so much information in the dining hall when it was filled with chatter over the clanging of silverware.
“Aeris is looking for a breeder to replace the heirs he lost,” Archer mentioned.
My eyes snapped to Archer, who shrugged, sipping from his drink.
“Keep your ears and eyes open. I need to know everything,” Jared said, then drained his own glass.
I looked down at the glass he’d handed me. I didn’t think I’d ever even tried scotch before. I brought to my lips, taking a tiny sip, and grimaced. Jared took it from my hands, his fingertips brushing against mine.
“Get some rest, Eliza,” he said, then turned to Brandt and Archer. “The two of you go out into the city tonight; check the taverns and brothels. See what else you can find out.”
Archer and Brandt walked away, their muffled conversation swallowed by the sound of the door shutting behind them.
“I’m going to keep you safe,” Jared began.
I answered him with a soft smile. “I know, I trust you.”
He seemed a little shocked by this reply, the hard lines of his face softening a bit. He drank my serving of the scotch, his eyes still locked on mine.
We were alone… in his bedroom. I could kiss him if I wanted to. He’d let me, I was sure.
“Goodnight, Eliza,” he said, breaking the spell.
I pursed my lips and turned toward the door, hurrying across the hallway and into the darkened sanctuary of my own room.
