The Lycan King's Breeder

Chapter 1

“Please don’t do this to me, my life will be ruined,” Phoebe pleaded in tears.

She had woke up to a sad news that she was going to be sold to an old man to bear him children. She was very sad because she had ambition to be a physician and since her mother died, everything had turned upside down. Her father had promised to send her to a physician to learn herbs but he wouldn’t fulfil it. Now he was going to sell her off.

“See girl, I'm having troubles with my business and I need the money. You can't expect me to tell your sister to do it. You are the youngest,” her father said casually.

Her father had sold her for 50 pieces of gold and he didn’t feel remorseful about it. Phoebe should have known that her life would be ruined when her father brought in another woman when her mother died. Now since her coming, her father had neglected her and focused on the two children of her stepmother. Phoebe had thought she was the only child of her father until her father said that the two children of her stepmother were his and they were older than her. Her stepmother would insult her mother saying that she was the mistress that took away her husband. Phoebe endured this with the hope that she would fulfil her dreams and leave the house. But now, her father has sold her.

“You can't do this to me. I'm your daughter also,” she cried.

She didn’t believe that her own family would hurt her that way.

“You are not his child!” her stepmother shouted.

Phoebe looked at her stepmother in shock but they were interrupted by those that came to get phoebe.

“That's her, take her,” her father pointed at her.

Phoebe didn’t know that it would be that quick. She still had plans to run away but those men dragged her away. When they saw that she was struggling, they knocked her out.

….…..

“Your majesty, you can't do such a thing. It is against the law of our land,” the duke of melsh objected.

Bounce had called the court to tell them about his plan to get a woman to bear his heir and everyone had disagreed.

“Who made the law?” he asked.

He had already thought about this and there was no changing of his mind. His grandmother had wept when he told her but he still won't change his mind. The court had implored him not to do so but he wouldn’t listen.

“Your majesty, even if you want to take a woman to bear your heir, you can't just take a random woman, you have to take from the prominent or from the princess of other kingdoms,” duke Zim said.

“No, I already got myself one.” Bounce said and stood up from his throne.

He didn’t even dismiss the court before he walked away. He had ordered Mitchell to get him someone. Although he didn’t know who he would bring, he trusted Mitchell.

“She's here your majesty,” Mitchell told him and they headed to the room Phoebe was kept in.

Phoebe had just woken up from being knocked out. She found herself in a strange room. Although the room had no decoration, it didn't look like that of an old man. She was scared so she stood up and wanted to leave. Just as she got to the door, the door opened. Because she was scared, she fell on her butt.

Bounce had ordered Mitchell to get him a beautiful woman to be the mother of his heir but seeing the one who fell to the ground he was shocked. He stood there looking at the mesmerising beauty that was on the floor looking at him. She had a long dark hair that fell down towards her stomach, a blue eyes that was as clear as the heaven. Her small lips were pink and plump. Bounce couldn’t take his eyes off her because he had never seen beauty as such.

He looked at Mitchell with a frown in his eyes and Mitchell thought he wasn’t satisfied with what he saw and he was scared. He didn’t know why the girl had to fall down.

“Your…..” he started to talk but Bounce stopped him.

“Have you gotten paralysed?” he asked Phoebe who was also looking at him.

Those that were there expected Phoebe to bow immediately when she saw the emperor but she didn’t. What they didn’t know was that she didn’t know who the emperor was. Although the emperor wasn’t hidden to many, Phoebe had never concerned herself with such things. She only knew the king of her kingdom and not the emperor.

The man before her, was giving her goosebumps but not because she was scared but because she was captured in his beauty. Phoebe's heart had never belonged to any man because she only cares about her ambition.

She stood up immediately, still looking at the emperor.

“Is this the girl?” Bounce asked.

Phoebe, when she heard Bounce's question, talked instead.

“Mister, please I don't want to be here. I don’t know why you want to ruin my life by making me become a breeder to your old father. Please I have ambition and I can't marry now. I know you’ve paid my parents but I'm not interested.” she pleaded with her voice shaking already.

Her blue eyes were glistening with tears and Bounce glared at her. He was glaring at her because his heart has never moved because of anyone's tears before but the stranger’s tears made him uncomfortable.

“Old father?” Bounce asked.

He was confused as to why she had thought he was going to give her to his old father. He didn't even have a father.

“Girl, do you know what privilege you are getting?” Mitchell asked.

Phoebe shook her head. “I don’t know and I don’t want to know. Even if you are marrying me off to the arrogant and naive emperor, I am not interested. All I want is to live my own life!” she shouted.

Bounce was shocked and angry at her words. She had called him naive.

“How dare you!” Mitchell shouted that Phoebe quivered.

She didn’t know what she had said that made Mitchell shout at her that way.

“Why are you angry? It's not as if you are the emperor," she grumbled even though she was scared.

She had thought she was in the house of a rich man and she hated the rich because all they did was torment the poor. Her father wasn’t poor but not so rich, yet she had experience torture from her stepmother and stepsister. They had turned her into a maid in her father's house.

“Just because you have money doesn’t mean you can buy people. I am human like you and should be treated as one. I would never let you destroy my life. Let that old man that wants me to give birth to his child go to hell, I don’t care!” she shouted again.

Phoebe was damning all consequences. She watched as the eyes of those standing widened in horror.

No one had dared to raise their voices whenever the emperor was around. Not even before he was crowned king but the beauty in front of him was not only shouting but insulting him to his face. Everyone standing was so afraid but Phoebe was not, not until Bounce's green orbs darkened like he was going to devour her.

Bounce took a step closer to her. “Are you sure about that?” his thick voice, even though it was slow, echoed in Phoebe's ears. That was when she knew that she had messed up.
