**Rosalie POV**
A few days had gone by since I had been brought to my room.
The first moment I stepped into it, I was in utter shock over how beautiful it was, and the fact that he was asking me to stay here.
Well… he wasn’t really asking me himself. In fact, I had not seen him since the day he left the hospital.
It was a sunny day, and the clear blue sky was lovely. It reminded me of that pair of dangerous yet captivating eyes of his.
The cold-hearted Alpha of Drogomor, Ethan… and my master.
It had been two weeks since I last saw him. A part of me longed with curiosity to see him again, but yet… I was also terrified.
Shaking my head, I tried to brush off the thoughts about him. I should have been happy that I didn’t have to face that scary man.
“Rosalie!”
Knocking at the door drew my attention. As I stood from the small chaise in the room, I watched Vicky enter.
“Good morning! I just wanted to make sure they brought your breakfast already.”
She saw the almost-still-full plate, and sat down next to me.
“Did you not like toast? I can ask them to bring something else.”
She was worried about me, I could tell. Not because I was the breeder, but because she truly treated me as her friend.
“Vicky, the toast was tasty.” I gave her a smile. “Thank you for making it for me. I just didn’t have a large appetite… Sorry!”
I was still hesitant about a lot in this place, but at least I had Vicky and Estrella, who didn’t make me feel so afraid anymore.
“You gotta stop saying ‘sorry’, miss!”
She raised her voice intentionally, and pretended to be scolding me. Then a big smile appeared on her face. Vicky always had a lovely way to cheer me up.
“Okay, Vicky! Thank you, really.”
I could not be more grateful for what she had done for me.
“Oh, Talon will actually be by soon to fetch you. Not sure why, but he said just to let you know he was coming. ”
I nodded. Talon had been checking on me almost every day, and I had gotten used to his visits. He normally stayed far enough away for me to feel comfortable. It was hard to believe that the second-in-command of the Drogomor pack was a well-mannered gentleman.
“Here, I brought you some new clothes! Try them on for me!”
Vicky was excited for dress-up, apparently, but I was a bit confused and curious now.
When Talon came to visit, he didn’t need to notify me ahead of time. I was always in my room.
So why did Vicky come to dress me up… unless they wanted me to meet with someone…?
…Ethan?
Thinking about Ethan made my heart skip a beat. The touch of his finger, his beautiful eyes…
But then the chills crept over my spine when I remembered the way he was watching me. Yes, I was under his scrutiny—like a prey being watched by its predator, and like goods being checked by their new owner.
“I know it isn’t my place, Rosalie… But being a breeder isn’t necessarily a bad thing. You will be giving life to the next Alpha of this pack, and a part of you will live on here forever.”
“…I know,” I replied, still unsure of it all.
I knew Vicky was just trying to make me feel better, but it didn’t help. It wasn’t what I wanted in my life. I wanted to be free.
As we talked, I finished changing into a simple dress. It was comfortable, yet it fit me just right.
“Just think about it, okay?”
Nodding my head, I watched as she gave me a reassuring smile, then disappeared from the room.
The longer I waited, the more my nerves got the best of me.
I paced the floor of my lavish room and admired the beautiful view of the outside world from my window. Pack Drogomor was located at the edge of the forest. The vast green surrounding us would bring peace to any anxious soul.
Would there ever be a day I could run free and feel the soft grass under my feet?
“Rosalie…”
Talon’s voice from behind me made my breath hitch. Slowly turning around I saw him standing in the open doorway.
“Are you ready?”
No. I didn’t know what was happening, so how could I be ready?
“Um, yes…” My feet moved forward.
I was bought by the Drogomor pack, but, so far, they hadn’t done anything but nurse me back to health. Estrella and Vicky tried their best to make me feel at home, and even Talon, stern as he was, had been respecting me and giving me as much personal space as possible.
I followed him down the corridors until we arrived in front of two large white wooden doors. As he pulled the door open, I came face to face with someone I thought I would never see again.
My father.
It took me a few seconds to realize that I wasn’t dreaming. It had only been two weeks, but he seemed to have aged a lot.
Father… Did he change his mind about selling me? Did he come to bring me home?
“Father…”
I stood there. It was the least I had expected, and I didn’t know what else to say or do.
“Rosalie…”
At first glance, my father looked calmer than I had ever seen him. Yet behind his eyes was something else. “I got word that you are unsure about being a breeder…”
His words shattered my heart. That was the first thing he wanted to say to me. Not to check on how I was doing, not to tell me that he missed me, not to ask me whether I wanted to go home… He only wanted to know whether I had done enough to please my new master.
