Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 115 Madalynn Was Nothing To Him?

Soren smiled innocently, “I was just about to tell you that when Isis interrupted me.”

I couldn’t force myself to smile this time, and I heard him say, “I wanted to let you know, I found out the issues you had with your stepbrother, and I wanted you to know that you don’t have to worry about him anymore. It’s taken care of,” he smiled. “However, now I figured you probably would’ve handled it yourself. Very well done just now.”

Instead of thanking him, I only stared for a moment before I got a little worried. “You said you handled Derek?”

“Yes, Ro. He’s taken care of. You don’t ever have to worry about him again,” Soren replied.

My eyes widened. “What do you mean by ‘taken care of…? Did you, did you kill him? That’s why Isis came?”

Soren laughed, “No! Of course not. I just made sure he knew to never mess with you again and then sent him far, far away.”

Although I didn’t particularly like Derek, I was relieved that Derek wasn’t dead.

“Soren, I appreciate you trying to help me, but you didn’t have to do that. The last time someone tried to take care of Derek for me, they just ended up creating this bigger problem for me later on, like with his recent demands you apparently found out about…”

Deep down, I had a bigger question-how did Soren find out about Derek?

“Of course I found out, Ro,” Soren said. “I told you. I am in charge here. But I can assure you, this won’t happen again. Derek won’t pop up into your life again. When I say I’ve handled something, I’ve handled it.” Soren looked into my eyes and raised his eyebrows to emphasize what he was saying to me.

All I could do at this point was to nod and say, “Okay, thank you, Soren,”

However, thinking through what had occurred, I was getting unsettled. There were way more guards than I anticipated-even when I was back at the castle in Mirage, I didn’t remember having this many people watching me.

“I didn’t realize

that there were a lot of guards in the yard.”

He shrugged, trying to make it seem like it was no big deal. “I guess they were following Isis from town.”

I felt they were not protecting me. Instead, they were watching me.

When we finally got back into the house, Soren glanced at the blanket and teddy bear I crotched earlier.

“Wow! It’s amazing what you can make!” he replied in his usual, casual tone, watching me.

As much as I wanted to appreciate his comments, I couldn’t stop thinking about the things that had happened recently. Ethan and then Derek.

How was I supposed to just act like everything was okay?

“Thanks, Soren,” I whispered with my back turned towards him as I smoothed the fresh blanket out in the crib.

“You have been really quiet lately… is something the matter?” he asked, his footsteps approaching me slowly.
