All Chapters of Wagered To The Cold Hearted Alpha King: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Zoey's POV“Let me out, I want to go out,” I said to the two men at the gate who didn't seem to move an inch despite my pleas, and now I was yelling. “Please, my lady, we can't let you leave,” he pleaded, but that only made me angrier. “This is Ridiculous. Am I imprisoned in here?” I asked the guard, who didn't say a word. It seemed he was trying to choose his words carefully. “Let me out, I promise I will be back,” I pleaded, but the guard still didn't say a word.I fumed and tapped my foot on the floor. I was getting frustrated already. “I need to leave…” I wanted to say more, but I felt a presence behind me and saw Alpha Ethan walking towards my direction with his beta. The men who had refused to let me pass all bowed their heads to him as he approached them. He stared at the men for a moment before turning back to me. “Is there a problem?” He asked, and I quickly responded. “I need to go see my family, Alpha Ethan,” I said, and he stared at me for a moment before taking a deep bre

Alpha Ethan's POVI was surprised to see her standing before me. She seemed surprised, and it was evident in her eyes, but I also realized she had a glint of worry in her eyes, or maybe I was wrong and seeing wrong. We held each other's gaze, and it seemed like we were both at a loss for words. I moved my eyes downward and saw a bowl of fruit salad in her hand. I furrowed my brow, wondering what she was doing with a plate of fruit salad this late at night.I looked back at her, and she stared back at me. “What…” we both said the words together and at the same time. I sighed and gestured for her to go first instead. She swallowed before speaking. “What are you doing up so late?” She asked with care and concern in her voice, or maybe I heard wrong.“I have a lot of work to do,” I said, and she stared at me for a moment before she spoke again. “Can I come in?” she asked, and I nodded, realizing that I had kept her standing by the door. “Yes, come in,” I said and stepped aside for her to

Zoey's POVI was surprised to see him standing by the door, watching Jaya and me. I didn't expect him to be awake at such early hours, and he even looked well-dressed, which meant he had already taken his bath.“Papa, you're awake,” Jaya said as he noticed Alpha Ethan by the door. Alpha Ethan smiled, revealing his beautiful set of arranged teeth. This man is incredibly handsome. He walked over to us and lifted Jaya up, who giggled and hugged him. “Good morning, Father,” Jaya greeted while Alpha Ethan placed a kiss on his cheek and put him down.“How is my champion doing this morning?” Alpha Ethan asked as he ruffled Jaya's hair. It seems he loves doing that. “I'm fine, Daddy, but I'm not happy,” Jaya said with a frown, and Alpha Ethan furrowed a brow and squatted to his height. “And what is making my champ angry?” He asked, and Jaya pouted.“You were supposed to be asleep. Mother and I wanted to serve you breakfast in bed, and we are almost done,” he said, and a big smile appeared on

Alpha Ethan's POVI was dumbfounded to feel her arms wrapped around my waist. At first, I was expecting her to yell or walk away with anger, but she didn't; rather, she was wrapping her hands around me. Filled with curiosity, I held her hand and turned around. Our gaze met, and I could see there was no anger in her eyes, but rather, she held pity in her eyes, which was confusing.We held each other's gaze, and I didn't know what to say to her. I was confused because this was not what I expected from her. I had expected her to shout and yell at me, but here she was, looking at me with sympathy.I watched her take a deep breath before she spoke. “I know you were expecting me to yell at you or tell you how angry I am with you, and the truth is that's what I thought I would do when you began telling the story. But as you went on, I realized that I couldn’t get mad at you because somehow it feels like we are both victims of circumstance,” she explained while I just stared at her dumbfounde

Zoey's POVAn awkward silence filled the whole place as we both pondered in our thoughts. I was scared about what this silence meant. I knew what war meant and the impact it would bring into our lives. I looked at Alpha Ethan, who looked at me with an exhausted expression. He looked so tired and was doing his best to appear strong in front of me."You should get some sleep; you have to leave at dawn," he said, breaking the silence. I stared at him and didn't know what to say or do. I felt so helpless, and I hated it. I wished I had my memory; maybe I could have helped in some way."Come on, I'll walk you to your room," he said and took hold of my hand. I looked at his grip on my hand and then at him. He flashed me a weak, reassuring smile before leading the way to the stairs while I followed.We took the stairs while I just stared at him. I was worried about him, wondering what he might be feeling. As an alpha, going to war wouldn't be easy for him because he knew what would happen if
