Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 2: Was That Him?

“What? The prince’s Luna?!”

“Prince Theo is the King’s favorite son, and it’s most likely he’ll be the next king.”

“Then that makes his wife…”

The crowd buzzed with excitement at Beta Xavier’s words. The girls seemed overjoyed to think of themselves living in the palace as nobles, maybe even as a Luna Queen someday.

Some of them were so excited that they started clapping their hands.

Sophia glanced at them and sneered. “Foolish! They think they even have a chance!”

“Of course not! Miss Chambers, they are nothing compared to you!” Sophia’s followers flattered her, which brought a proud smile to her face.

“What if the prince doesn’t need our… our service?” one of the more composed voices asked Beta Xavier.

“Oh, yes, an important question,” he said, raising a finger in the air. Everyone quieted to hear him. “Those of you who are not successful in securing the prince’s favor will return to your packs after three years, with your payment of riches beyond measure.”

As he clapped his hands together, the girls cheered once

again.

Doubt rolled over me as I looked at Beta Xavier’s face. I didn’t believe him. People couldn’t just come and go from the royal palace. In fact, many rumors had arisen over the years regarding the disappearance of palace visitors… or their untimely deaths.

I was sure the truth wasn’t as glamorous as he was trying to make it sound.

As expected, he added, “However, His Majesty, our King Sebastian, would love to see you all try your very best, or-” He smirked, and the glee in his tone suddenly was replaced by an ominous warning. “Not only will you be thrown in prison for your negligence, but also you’ll bring shame and disgrace to your pack!”

My eyes widened. Beta Xavier was threatening us with our own packs! He was implying that if we failed to please the royals, we would bring destruction to our packs!
