Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 207: A Trade is Proposed

“Rosalie, it‘s too dangerous for you to go!”

It was only Ethan and I left in the throne room after Jace brought another piece of news– the troops of the Western Kingdom had been fully dissolved by Damiam.

Since there wouldn‘t be any immediate battles I needed to attend any more, I saw there was a necessity for me to go to the islands.

“Ethan, I‘ll be fine,” I reasoned with him, “You and I know Damian isn‘t a trustworthy person and he does what will bring him the biggest reward–”

He interrupted, “Glad you agree with me.”

“However, because of that, it‘s not hard to guess his motivation.”

Ethan arched an eyebrow.

I tipped my head to the side and studied my mate‘s face for a moment and continued, “Clearly, Damian is afraid of you. That was why he eliminated Kal for us, because he knows that it‘s just a matter of time before we win the war. When that happens, he wouldn‘t be able to fight against us on his own, therefore he proactively chose to kill Kal as a favor to us, showing us his intent to be our ally.”

Ethan listened patiently this time, although I knew he must have also thought about all of this.

“That being said, why in the world would he want to do something to potentially make you want to kill him?” I asked.

He shrugged, and I knew he understood I had a point. “Well, I still think it‘s too dangerous,” he told me.

“It is dangerous,” I agreed. “But Ethan, I‘m not some fragile flower that you have to guard over for the rest of my life—not anymore anyway.”

Was it all that long ago that I was willing to just give up and die because Ethan wanted it that way? It seemed like it had happened in a different life, but it really had only been less than two years.

Finally, he sighed and pulled me into his arms, “I really don‘t like this…”

“I understand. Believe me, I don‘t want to deal with Damian either.” I leaned my head against his warm chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, “However, I am hoping he wants to give us back Soren. Whatever his conditions are, I will listen, if it involves the release of your brother… and my friend.”

“My brother and your friend who is in love with you,” Ethan reminded me. He didn‘t sound jealous like he had with Alex and that new person today… oh, Robert. He only sounded matter–of–fact.

“Well,” I said, “whether he does or doesn‘t, he is an important part of our family. And Rowan loves him.”

Ethan couldn‘t argue with that. “Let me sleep on it overnight.”

I stared at him. “Toward what end? Ethan, I have to go!”

“Toward trying to make sure you have the right team, Rosalie. I trust your judgment. If you think you‘ll be safe, who am ! to argue with Your Majesty?”

Thonestly didn‘t think he gave in so easily. My eyebrows arched. “Who are you, and what have you done with my mate?”
