Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 824

Chapter 35 : I Must Be Dead

*Eliza*

“A trade,” Aeris’s voice echoed in my ears as I looked frantic after Jared, who was stuck in place with shock. The young woman on the stage turned frantic eyes on Jared, and the look on her face…

Something snapped in my chest.

A trade. A trade… Me, for that woman.

“You can have her back,” Aeris boomed, a hush falling over the crowd. “If you leave Eliza behind, with me.”

Jared looked back at me, his eyes cold and void of expression as he looked me over. I opened my mouth to say his name. It was the only thing I could think to say.

But then he turned and pushed through the crowd.

He’d gone to her.

“We need to go, now,” Brandt hissed in my ear, his brutal tone sounding so unlike him as he grabbed me roughly by the arm and started to pull me out of the crowd.

I tasted acid in my throat. My mouth was dry as I tried to swallow. My heart was shattering in my chest as jealousy and confusion roiled in my stomach.

“Who is that woman?” I tried to say, but Brandt broke into a sprint, practically dragging me behind him.

We darted between buildings, our bodies cast in shadows as our feet pounded the cracked pavement still wet from last night’s storm. Brandt came to an abrupt halt, his chest heaving with effort as he peaked around the corner of the building, then pressed himself back into the alleyway, shaking his head.

“Aeris has warriors stationed at the main gate–”

“Because he just offered Jared that woman in exchange for me!” I hissed, digging my fingernails into his forearm. “What the f**k is going on?!”

Brandt was in no mood to explain anything to me, that was clear. He slammed his arm into my chest, flattening me against the wall as three warriors passed us on the street, running towards the gate.

“Come on,” he said under his breath, taking me by the hand as we ran back down the alley. My shoes and pants were already wet from stomping through puddles and other muck I didn’t even want to think about. We were well outside of the city proper now, weaving between the run-down buildings along the inside of the wall. I knew where he was taking me. It was the temple Jared had told me about.

It led outside the wall.

Brandt and I ran up the steps without glancing behind us. I was panting, my legs burning from the exertion of sprinting through the massive city. I tried to catch my breath for a moment while Brandt pounded on the door.
