Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 141 : Deja Vu

*Jared*

Eliza was gone too long. I tracked her down to the bathroom and found her lying on the floor, moaning.

“Eliza!” I scooped her into my arms and shook her gently.

She groaned and her head lolled to the side.

“Eliza? Wake up, my love.” I patted her face gently.

She just groaned and turned in my arms.

Panic rose in my chest. What happened to her?

There was a yellow powder all over her face and shirt. This wasn’t good. She had a foreign substance on her and was stuck in some unconscious state.

It reminded me too much of how Lena had been when she was poisoned.

I needed to get Eliza to the White Queen.

I got her into the back of the car. “We need to get to King Xander and Queen Lena right now, double time!”

The driver peeled away from the curb and sped through the streets.

Lena and Xander weren’t that far. They were staying in Winter Forest. The driver pulled up in front of their hotel. I tossed him a tip and carried Eliza inside. I went straight for the front desk.

“I need to see Queen Lena, right now,” I demanded.

“Sir… is she alright….” the concierge pointed to Eliza.

“No! She’s the queen’s cousin and I need to get her to Queen Lena immediately!”

“Okay, yes, of course.”

The concierge made a call and a few moments later, Xander appeared in the elevator. He took me in and looked at Eliza.

“Goddess! Let’s go, now.” He waved me into the elevator. “The concierge said it was important but….”

“More like an emergency!”

“You could have called me directly,” Xander said, frowning slightly.

“Yeah, next time my wife ends up unconscious, I’ll call first.”

Xander pursed his lips. “I just meant….”

I sighed and nodded. “I know what you meant. Thanks.”

The elevator doors opened to the top-floor penthouse and Xander let us in. I brought Eliza to the bedroom and laid her on the bed.

Lena rushed right over and put a hand on Eliza’s forehead. She seemed to be reading Eliza’s energy.

“What happened?” Lena asked.

I shrugged. “I’m not sure… we were out to lunch and she went to the bathroom. I found her like this when she didn’t come back….”

“You didn’t inhale any of this, did you?” Lena pointed to the powder on Eliza’s face and shirt.

“No. I mean… I don’t think so.”
