Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 873

Chapter 79 : Amassing An Army

Rubbing my eyes, I groaned and sat up.

How late had I stayed up last night? How much had I had to drink?

I rolled over and bumped into Jared. Squinting one eye open, I saw him sitting up in bed, shirtless.

My other eye popped open and I stared at Jared's toned, muscular chest. Sun poured through the window and made his skin glow.

“Ahh, you're awake." Jared smirked at me.

I pulled myself up and yawned, stretching my arms out to the sides. “What time is it?"

“Almost noon."

“What? Really?" I looked out the window.

“Yeah. The Saboreef Elder asked us to meet him today. We shouldn't keep him waiting."

Jared got up and pulled his clothes on.

My eyes followed his hands as the fabric slid over his muscles, concealing his gorgeous body from view. Sighing, I got up and put my own clothes on.

Jared and I followed the elder's directions to a Saboreef temple not that far from the village. The elder stood at the large stone altar, which had several old parchment rolls and tomes laid out on it.

“What's all this?" I asked. I turned the pages in one of the tomes.

It crinkled and felt thin and brittle.

“This is a story that I think the two of you would like to hear." He motioned to me, and my pendant.

Instinctively, I grabbed the locket and ran it back and forth along the chain that dangled around my neck.

“About the locket?" Jared asked, raising an eyebrow.

The elder nodded. He picked up one of the tomes and flipped through several pages.

“Ahh, here we are," he said, tapping the top of the page. “Many, many years ago, a woman came to the temple, this temple. She was a mystery to us and kept herself shielded under a cloak."

I glanced at Jared, catching the deep crease in his brow. I wondered if he recognized that description. It was pretty vague, but something seemed to be bugging him.

Reaching out, I took his hand.

He glanced at me. “My mother," he mouthed.

I nodded and squeezed his hand. I hated seeing his handsome features scrunched up like that, like he was in pain.

“This woman came to us with a very simple request… simple, though unusual. She asked for a piece of jewelry to be crafted from an old, broken artifact...."

The story sounded a little familiar to me. I knew I'd never heard it before, but it sounded almost like the beginning of another story I knew, like a prequel to something else that had happened.

I kept holding the locket between my fingers, hooking the chain around my chin.

The day I'd composed the song… my mind floated back to that day. I hadn't made it up. The words had come to me from a dream. There'd been a woman humming that song. I could envision it and hear it so clearly.

She hadn't just been humming the song, though, she'd been singing… singing words....
