The Alpha's Purchased Slave by Sophia Novel - Chapter 198

Chapter 198 I forced myself to move forward , one careful step at a time . Just as I reached the edge of the small porch , Mia's voice cut though my thoughts like a knife . " Alpha ! We just received an urgent message from King Jason and Beta Tyler ! * I gritted my teeth , frustration surging through me . " Not now . Ma , wait . I just need fifteen minutes . I'll be right back . " I was so close . The cabin door was right there . My family was right there . " Alpha , Emerald City is under attack . King Jason , the Queen , everyone is in danger !

" Her voice was panicked , something I rarely heard from Mia . " Emerald City is being attacked by Dylan . We don't know how , but the city is in danger . " The words hit me like a physical blow .
