Alpha Damien's Breeder: The first night
Chapter 21: Something huge

Chapter 21: Something huge

"What?" Her surprise was evident as he asked her the unexpected question, if it was even a question. She couldn’t fathom why he would approach her with such a proposition. Was he playing a prank on her? After all, his marriage was already planned.

"You heard me, sign it," he ordered, maintaining his unwavering gaze as he awaited her signature.

"Why would I agree to be your breeder again?" She inquired, her mind racing with doubts. The prospect of becoming a breeder meant he wanted her to bear his child, something she wasn’t sure she wanted.

Moreover, news of his arranged marriage had already spread throughout the pack. How could she fulfill the role of a breeder when he was about to get married?

"Obviously, to produce an heir for me," he replied, walking over to the window and leaving her to contemplate her thoughts.

"But you are getting married soon. What purpose would my child serve?" She tried to understand his intentions at that moment.

"I am not marrying her," he stated.

"You are not?" Aurora turned her body to face him, repeating her question. What was happening, and why was he involving her in his decision?

"No, all you have to do is get pregnant within three months, and the marriage will be called off. They want an heir, not a wife," he explained, lighting a cigarette and taking a puff.

"May I ask why you don’t want to marry her?" She finally broke the silence with her question. He seemed to reject the idea of marriage, yet he desired a breeder. It made her wonder if the rumors about him being attracted to men held any truth.

She nervously swallowed, contemplating the possibility. It wouldn’t be so far-fetched if their Alpha didn’t conform to societal expectations.

"No, you may not. Read through the contract and ask any questions you have," he dismissed her request.

"Can you give me a week to think about it first? This is sudden, and I am not sure what to do or say," she pleaded, hoping he would grant her some time to consider before signing anything. All she had in mind was to successfully escape the pack, but how could she achieve that if she became a breeder?

It took nine months to carry a child, and even more time to care for the child, even if they planned to take it away from her. That meant she would have to wait for another nine months to escape the pack, and she didn’t want to wait.

Scarlet would be back in two days, and they could come up with an escape plan if he allowed her a week. If she managed to escape successfully, she wouldn’t have to be his breeder. Her heart raced as she awaited Damien’s response.

"No, I want you to sign it now," he replied. She was shocked and felt a pang of anger at his exertion of power over her. She couldn’t even decide whether or not to sign the contract.

Defeated, she sat on the floor and began reading through the file. The first page contained formalities about getting to know each other’s preferences to avoid future mistakes.

"I have to accompany you to special events? Isn’t that what a wife does?" Confusion clouded her mind as she questioned why a mere breeder would have to fulfill the duties of a wife.

"That’s what I want you to do," he replied.

She shook her head, her anger growing as she read through the absurdities of the contract. There was no rule that worked in her favor, she would essentially become his puppet.

"Why am I not allowed to have male friends? What does it matter?" She inquired.

"The child has to be of my blood. I won’t accept a child born out of wedlock," he stated casually.

Aurora glared at his back, feeling an intense urge to confront him. Why did he always have to be so controlling, even when he needed her assistance?

"Wait a minute, I don’t want to report my daily activities. Are you my mother?" She couldn’t hold back her frustration and expressed her discontent with that particular rule.

"In essence, I am your husband until you give birth. I need to monitor your every move for the success of the child," he replied, uttering the word ’husband’ that unexpectedly made her heart flutter. She brushed off the feeling and continued reading the contract.

"Fine, all I have to do is give birth, right?" She closed the file, already tired of reading about him when the contract should have been a mutual agreement.

"Yes," he confirmed.

"Well, I want something huge in return," she decided. If she was going to give something, she should also receive something in exchange.

Damien frowned and turned to look at her, curious about what she meant by ’something huge.’ "huge?" he repeated, raising an eyebrow in question.

"Yes, I will sign the papers the moment you agree to grant me a ’huge’ favor after I give birth," she stood her ground, unyielding in her request.

As he remained silent, she met his gaze, waiting to see what he was thinking.

Finally, he said, "Deal."

Aurora let out a sigh of relief and nodded in victory. She picked up the pen hanging by the file and proceeded to sign the necessary sections.

She placed the file on the nearby desk and mustered the courage to ask the question that had been bothering her.

"How do we proceed then?" Though she detested the idea of giving her virginity to a man who didn’t love her, her life was no longer her own since Lucas had broken her. All that mattered now was seeking revenge and ending her life to join her parents in the afterlife.

"Your belongings will be moved to the room next to mine. Prepare yourself to start working for me," he answered.

Aurora couldn’t help but despise the idea of becoming a breeder; now he was going to prevent her from working in the kitchen.

"Wouldn’t people gossip if I stayed next to your room?" She voiced her concerns.

"An Alpha is allowed to have sex partners. We just need to make them believe we are in a relationship," Aurora couldn’t believe what she was hearing, sex partners?

"That’s inappropriate. It goes against my reputation," she disagreed, avoiding his gaze to avoid feeling intimidated.

"Who cares? Getting pregnant will halt the marriage. What’s important is that we get you pregnant!" he said, his tone growing sharper. But it was her womb that would carry the child, not his, why was he so grumpy?

"So when do we begin with surrogacy?" she asked, eager to get pregnant and give birth as soon as possible. Looking up at him, she noticed a mischievous grin on his face, and a sudden realization struck her. If not by using his sperm, how else would she... Oh no.

"Surrogates are for infertile men. We will engage in sexual intercourse every night until you conceive," he announced.
