Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 130: The Touching Family Moment

Ellsworth invited me to breakfast the next morning. Brook wasn’t there and I got the feeling that he wanted to talk to me alone. It was fine, Brook already knew the plan.

I sat down and grabbed myself a plate of pancakes. Alpha Ellsworth watched me dump syrup on them and poured me a glass of orange juice before he spoke.

“So, did you talk to Brook? She can be just as stubborn as me sometimes,” he said, laughing until his cheeks turned red.

“Brook and I talked and I’ve persuaded her that Jake isn’t right for her. She’s agreed to put you first,“ I said, nodding as I reached for my orange juice.

“Huh.” Alpha Ellsworth stared at me a moment longer and then broke into a wide smile. “That seems… too easy based on how well I know my daughter.“

“If you really think it is too good to be true, I can show you. Brook told me what she was going to do today to break the matebond.“ I replied politely as I slid my hand into my pocket and fingered the little blood bag I stored there.

In order for this to work, Brook and I were going to put on a little show.

“Really? She’s that committed?” He stroked his chin thoughtfully.

“She should be heading to the Moon Goddess temple now. Want to come along?“ I gulped down my pancakes and stood up, motioning for him to follow me.

Brook was committed alright, committed to getting her way. I felt a little guilty about tricking Ellsworth. He was a nice guy but Brook was my best friend.

“By the way, Alpha Ellsworth, those pancakes were phenomenal! Thank you!”

“I’m glad you liked them.” He grinned, “Those are Brook’s favorites too!“

Alpha Ellsworth followed me and I followed the trail that Brook had shown me to the pack Moon Goddess temple. We’d planned everything carefully, so I knew she’d be on her way.

I held a hand up and Brook’s father paused. Pointing, I showed him that Brook was entering the temple.

“Let’s get a little closer,” I whispered.

Alpha Ellsworth nodded and we snuck into the temple.

Brook was already kneeling in front of the Moon Goddess statue. She had her hands clasped together and it looked like she was praying. We couldn’t hear what she was saying, but suddenly tears streamed down her cheeks.

Brook groaned and doubled over in pain. She started heaving, leaning against the stone statue. Her face all scrunched up.

“Brook!“ Alpha Ellsworth gasped.

Maids ran through the temple to Brook. They tried to hold her upright and see if she was okay.

‘Lady Brook, what’s wrong?” they urged.

“Someone get a healer!”

“Brook!” Alpha Ellsworth cried. He ran from our hiding place and bolted toward her.
