The Alpha's Purchased Slave by Sophia Novel - Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Gina's expression grew serious . " The warriors are still useful to the kingdom . King Jason knows that . " I considered this , thinking about the complicated politics at play . " You and Tyler followed Nathan out here . That's incredibly brave . " She gave me a sad smile . " We couldn't stay at the castle. The king would have used us against Nathan . * " What do you mean ? " I frowned , confused . " Think about it , Rachel . " Victoria's eyes held a hint of sadness . The realization dawned on me slowly . " Hostages , " I breathed .

" He would have kept you as hostages to control Nathan . " Gina nodded . " Exactly . And he sent people after us , trying to round us all up . " " Thank goodness you're all okay , " I said , squeezing her hand . A mysterious smile played on Gina's lips . " We are , because the king sent the wrong person after us . " " What do you mean ? " " He sent Apollo ... " Gina's eyes sparkled with excitement . " He sent Victoria's mate ! " My jaw dropped as understanding hit me . " Her mate ? Apollo is her mate ? " Gina nodded . " He chose Victoria over his duty . He's with us now . " " Oh my God !

" I exclaimed . " That's amazing ! " Victoria deserved happiness , and I was thrilled she had found it . " What about you ? " Gina asked , her expression growing more serious . " I want to hear everything . " I took a deep breath , trying to decide where to begin . " After I left , I eventually made it to the Nexus pack . They took me in , and when they discovered I was an Alpha's daughter , they ... they made me their leader . " Gina's face lit up . " We heard about Nexus ! You have no idea how proud we all were ! Rachel ! " I felt my cheeks warm at her praise .

" I'm still learning , but for the first time in my life , I felt like I belonged somewhere . " " You're amazing , Rachel , " Gina said earnestly . " The fact that you stepped in and took leadership immediately just shows what you're capable of . " My thoughts turned to my pack members , worry creeping back in . " They must be wondering where I am , if I'm okay .... Gina reached out to squeeze my hand . ' Give Nathan some time . He loves you , Rachel . I know my brother . He just isn't a sweet - talker . " I couldn't help the bitter laugh that escaped me . " He has a funny way of showing it .

Chapter 246 Gina's expression grew troubled . " He doesn't know how to express his feelings . Ever since we became rogues , anger has been driving his life . " Something in her tone made me pause . I remembered Nathan shouting at Tyler or Victoria earlier , the rage in his voice . " What happened ? " She hesitated , then sighed heavily . " We fought a battle earlier ... he was very unhappy with how some of the new rogues performed in combat , and he ordered their execution . " I stared at her in shock . " Seriously ? But ... why would he do that ?
