The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 181

Chapter 31

Ledger

Now that I know my mate and the Queen are safe again, I can start planning mine and the King's escape. I'm just com- ing back into the compound when my father calls out to me. I turn and I see a disturbed look on his face as he hurries over to me. I try keeping my expression bored as to not give any- thing away.

"What is it now, Father?"

"Where have you been?" he asks grudgingly.

"If you must know, it's been a while since I've had the plea- sure of female company, why?"

"There was a disturbance at the airfield, that's why!"

I straighten up, pretending to be alarmed, "What kind of disturbance?"

"I'm not quite sure. It was odd actually. An American jet landed but nobody got off and no one boarded it before it took off again. It didn't even fuel up."

I furrow my brow, "That is a little strange, but how is that a disturbance?"

"Why would an American jet land and then just take off the way it did? Especially after we have captured an Alpha from the States."

"Father, you do realize that planes do land at the wrong airfields every once in a while. There is nothing to be suspi- cious about."

"You don't know much about shifters son, but when they find their fated mates, they will do whatever it takes in order to protect them. We took the Queen's King; do you not think that she won't come for him?" My father's little speech is hit- ting way to close to home, and I need to be careful on how I play this.

"I understand this, Father, but the Queen also has two young pups at home that need her protection. I've never met her, but listening to others talk there, she will do whatever it takes to protect the two Alpha heirs, so I highly doubt she would go on a suicide mission. Those heirs are more impor- tant."

He rubs his chin as he thinks about what I've said, "Hm, maybe you're right. Maybe I'm just hoping that they were go- ing to bring the fight to us. I just want to be done with all this nonsense, take their Queen out and let the rest fall right be- hind her."

Sighing, like I usually do, I rub my forehead, "I still don't understand why we are so obsessed with these shifters, but whatever, have your little fun with them. I'd rather be finding me a nice warm female to be sinking myself in."

"That's your problem Ledger, you're always thinking with that damn cock of yours! I'm surprised you haven't knocked up any of your sluts yet." He rolls his eyes and then turns to walk away but then turns back, "By the way, be ready by nine in the morning. I've got meetings in the afternoon, so if you still want to go see your breeder then it will have to be early."

I inwardly cringe at the term he uses for my mother, but I nod, "I will be ready, Father, and I promise not to keep you. away too long. I just want a peek, you know, just enough to satisfy my curiosity."

"That's understandable, I suppose. Oh, now that you're back, next week will be the start of finding a bride for you. It's almost time for this old man to retire and you need a whore willing to breed your heirs for you before you take over. One that's going to give you strong male heirs; the females are useless."

"I understand, Father. As long as I don't need to put a bag over their head in order to fuck them then I don't care who 1 take to spit out my heirs."

"Very well, spoken like a true Hastings!" he slaps my back, chuckling, and then walks away.

I hold back any and all actions that may give my state of mind away at the moment because I'm ready to kill. The thought of using a female that way makes me sick and it's worse that he talks about me in that way. It's no wonder we have no female hunters, at least not in England where my fa- ther rules, because he thinks they are weak and only good for breeding. Sure, I think about Cici growing big with mine and Spencer's pup but I don't think of her as a breeder, she's our equal. How I didn't turn out like my father, I'm not sure, but it's got to be a miracle.

When I get back to my room, I lay down on my bed to make it look like I'm resting for a bit as I close my eyes and reach out to Alpha Declan, 'Are you there, Alpha?'

'Yeah,'

Uh oh, one word answers must mean he is in pain, 'Is it safe for me to come and heal you?'

No answer.

'ALPHA?'

'Yeah?'

'Is it safe for me to come and heal you?'

'Guard sitting right outside cell...'

Fuck! How am I supposed to heal him now? I

Can't even sneak in there because they will feel my presence if they are close enough, and right outside the cell is too close.
