Ch. 331..335: Breed Me, Daddy Alpha chapter 331-335
Breed Me. Daddy Alpha – Chapter 331
The large room was filled with artwork, each child displaying a project they’d made. Alice’s project was a butterfly lamp she’d constructed out of paper, with tiny people holding hands and dancing across the lampshade. The lamp glowed warm yellow and cast colorful light in every direction.
I found it truly enrapturing. “Wow,” I said to Alice. “This is an incredible piece of art. You did very well, little she—wolf.” Alice beamed, and other parents admired the work as well.
A voice came over the microphone, announcing that the charity auction would begin shortly. Each child’s work would be auctioned off in order to raise money, and I had my heart set on taking Alice’s work home.
When the auctioneer presented her piece, Alice scrambled onto the stage, her voice loud and eager over the speakers.
“This is my lamp!” she said. “It’s a gift for all children, all over the world, no matter their pack, or their skin color, their abilities, or their language.”
I was touched by her words, so profound for a child so young. Her mother must be raising her right.
The crowd watched as Alice pulled a string, and the lampshade began to slowly turn. The paper figures adorning the shade danced hand in hand, the colors spinning across the auditorium, which filled with gasps and applause.
The auctioneer took the mic again. “Bidding starts at fifty dollars for this beautiful piece!” I prepared to raise my hand, but another man across the room beat me to it. “One hundred,” the man said. “One thousand,” I proclaimed, my hand in the air. The other man turned to glance at me, confusion flashing across his face. “Five thousand.” “Ten thousand,” I said without hesitation.
Murmurs rippled through the auditorium. People were stunned. Was this piece really worth that much? I kept my paddle up, undaunted by the crowd’s reaction or the other man’s competition. But Julian kept his bidding paddle up, unwavering. This update is available on FindN0vel.net
I wanted everyone to know this little girl had a dad. No one would dare bully her again. “One hundred thousand,” the other man said. “Five hundred thousand,” I countered. I could do this all day.
I looked over at my competition. The man seemed familiar, as did the woman who sat beside him. I wracked my mind, but I couldn’t place the couple.
We volleyed back and forth. “One million,” I declared, my paddle raised proudly in the air.
I looked over to see if the other man was still in, only to find that he’d slipped away. The woman who’d sat next to him had vanished as well.
“This lovely lamp to the man over there,” the auctioneer cried, obviously astounded by our fight over this kindergartener’s school project. The money I’d bid would go to the orphanage, and my heart glowed at the thought of how many other young children it would help.
Alice ran over to me, overjoyed at the result of the auction. She hugged me and kissed me on the cheek, leaving slobber behind. I laughed, gently wiping it away.
This was worth much more than a million dollars.
Despite my joy, my mind couldn’t help but wander back to the woman who’d been sitting with my competition. Her figure haunted my thoughts. Her golden hair, her graceful curves, the confidence she’d radiated.
The more I thought of her, the more familiar she seemed. I couldn’t wait any longer. I sprinted out of the auditorium, out of the school altogether, hoping that she’d still be there. My breath stopped. There she was, glowing in the sunlight, literally taking my breath away. I had no more doubts. Amber Wood, my wife who was supposed to have died years ago, was here in Thorn Pack

I slipped back into the auditorium just in time to see Alice stepping on stage to show off her project. She waved at me excitedly, and I grinned back at her. She’d been so excited for me to see the project.
When Alice pulled the chain and turned on the lamp, the colors and paper cut—outs danced across the room. It was truly incredible. All I could feel was pride and awe that my little girl had made something this incredible.
Alice truly deserved the world.
The auctioneer took the stage and began the bidding. Roman bid double the asking price right off the bat. Not only would the proceeds go to helping the children at the orphanage, but Alice’s piece, in my opinion, was worth more than any amount of money could buy.
I didn’t expect to hear another man’s voice follow Roman’s.
“One thousand,” the voice said. I froze in my seat. It couldn’t be.
I turned to see Julian sitting across the auditorium. Julian gazed at the stage, looking determined to win. His blue eyes piercing even from across the crowded room. My heart almost stopped.
I glanced over at him again, wondering what was driving him to bid so much on Alice’s piece. He couldn’t possibly know who she really was to him. To my knowledge, he’d never even met Alice before.
I hadn’t tried to disguise myself at all today. I didn’t have a medical mask and tattoo stickers with me, and suddenly my face felt naked, as though it was indecent to show my chin in public. All I could do was hope that my golden hair would be enough to convince Julian that I wasn’t his ex—wife.
“One hundred thousand,” Roman said, causing a wave of murmurs across the auditorium. “Five hundred thousand,” Julian countered.
I didn’t know what to do. Of course, the exorbitant amounts of money that Roman and Julian were bidding would all go to a good cause, but they were causing a scene in the auditorium. They were both Alphas, as well; they weren’t lacking funds in any sense. Fresh chapters posted on f͟i͟n͟d͟n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟.net
I simply sat and stared at Alice’s lamp, listening to the men raise their bids higher and higher. “One million,” Julian said.
My heart twisted as gasps rippled through the crowd again. I turned to Roman, tugging on his sleeve to pull him away from the back—and—forth competition.
“What?” he said a bit gruffly, then smiled at me apologetically. “Stop bidding, Roman.” “But Alice’s work — ” he started to protest. “I-Ie bid a million dollars, Roman,” I said. “I think he deserves it. The money’s going to children, after all.” Roman crossed his arms as the auctioneer started wrapping up the bidding.
“Come on,” I said, pulling him up from his seat and out of the school as the auditorium broke out in awe-struck applause at the display.
“Why would you do that?” I asked once we were out in front of the school. It was a lovely day, and the sun warmed my skin nicely after sitting for so long in the cold auditorium. “Don’t you know who that was?”
“Sure I do,” Roman said casually. “That was your asshole ex—husband. Alpha Julian of Thom Pack”
Despite Roman’s carefree performance, I knew that he was jealous of Julian in more ways than one. Julian was the Alpha of the biggest pack in the world, while Dawn Pack dwindled in comparison. And, of course, Julian had been given access to my heart, while I could only see Roman as a friend.
“Yes. And I don’t want him to know that I’m back in Thorn Pack,” I said. “It’s hard enough hiding my identity when I treat Olivia. I don’t need you calling more attention to me in public, when I haven’t even had the chance to prepare myself!”
“Let him find out you’re here,” Roman said, his voice full of swagger. “I’ll protect you.”
I stopped in my tracks.
“When have I ever asked for your protection?” I asked. “I don’t need you to protect me. I need you to listen to me. I still have to treat his . . . Luna. If he identifies me, he’ll think I’m trying to sabotage his life, just like he did five years ago.”
“Then don’t treat her,” Roman said softly, his eyes urging me to agree. “Come back to my pack I can take care of you.” I couldn’t believe him. This wasn’t about Roman at all. This wasn’t even about pack politics. This was about treating Alice, so she could live a good, normal life with a million more days like this.
I rolled my eyes, turning to go back to the auditorium. Pain suddenly shot up from my wrist, as I was yanked to a halt.
Breed Me. Daddy Alpha – Chapter 333
For a second, I assumed Roman had been the one to reach out and stop me, but his touch had never set my skin on fire like this.
I turned to see my suspicions confirmed. Julian. “Amber?!”
I could read Julian’s expression clearly, something that was rare considering his stoicism. He was in shock And he could see me clearly for who I really was.
He stared at me in a daze, as if he had seen a corpse come back to life. Then, his shock shifted into a kind of urgency, an urgency I couldn’t understand —
He strode toward me, then paused once again. His gaze shifted to Roman, and his expression turned fierce, his eyes blazing. “Who is he? Are you two together?”
I stared at Julian, shocked at his behavior. He’d misunderstood my relationship with Roman and thought we were together. And he was angry about it.
Why would he be angry? He didn’t have any right to be. I needed to think I suddenly realized that Julian was still gripping my wrist.
“Let go of me,” I said, trying and failing to rip my hand from his grasp. “Mind your image, Alpha. Isn’t that what you always cared about most?”
“You’re my wife,” Julian replied, his firm words making my heart race. “You owe me an explanation. I thought you were dead… for five years!”
“Hey, man,” Roman said, stepping in to try to redirect Julian’s attention. “Don’t ‘hey man’ me,” Julian growled. “This is personal. It has nothing to do with whoever you are.”
“Why did you leave Thorn Pack without my permission?” Julian said, his attention focused back on me again. “What about the plane crash? There were supposed to be no survivors. Where are you even living now? Why are you with this guy?”
Julian was interrogating me. I didn’t appreciate the bombardment of personal questions, and I didn’t intend to give him any answers.
“Answer me,” he ordered. “Who are you to question me like this?” “As your husband.” Julian said. “I never signed the divorce papers. Legally, you are still my wife.”
“Sign them as soon as possible, then,” I said, confusion and rage storming inside me. Who was Julian to act like he had claim over me when he’d abandoned me five years ago? “If you don’t, l’ll take the case to the Werewolf Court, and they’ll force it due to irreconcilable differences.”
“I won’t do it,” Julian replied. “I’m an Alpha. The court will rule in my favor, not yours.” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ find{n}ovel.net
Julian and I began to bicker back and forth. I’d never, ever spoken to him like this before, and it felt good to stand up for myself, even though it didn’t seem to be getting us anywhere. Suddenly, my wrist felt lighter. I grabbed it with my other hand, rubbing it. Roman had pried Iulian’s hand away. “Didn’t you not notice, Alpha Julian?” Roman asked, polite yet firm. “You were hurting her.” Julian’s POV Fury coursed through my entire body.
I felt the urge to shove the man away. Rory snarled inside me, and I was glad to have him with me. He, too, was ready to rip the man apart limb from limb.
We were in public, though, and especially after our bidding war, our commotion was beginning to attract the interest of the onlookers. I was the Alpha. I couldn’t let things get ugly or out of hand.
She is MATE, Rory roared. Take her back “Hold back,” I told Rory. “Amber is angry as well. It would be a mistake to push her further now.”
I forced myself to rein in my own rage and turned my attention to the man standing next to her. I finally placed him — he was the Alpha of Dawn Pack, Roman. We’d met at a previous counsel meeting.
Roman maintained a conservative leadership style. His pack hadn’t grown over the years, but it hadn’t shrunk, either. I-Ie’d seemed content to keep things steady.
He’d been polite and soft—spoken, but it had always come off as an act to me. Why was Amber with him? I couldn’t figure it out.
I raced through the possibilities in my mind until a terrible thought struck me. What if, back then, Amber had left to be with Roman? She’d been flying to Dawn Pack, after all.
The thought unsettled me deeply, making my stomach feel sick “Come home, Amber,” I said, trying to keep my voice authoritative, not pleading like I felt inside. “The pack needs you.”
Our house needs her. My office needs her. My coffee, my clothes; my cheek needs her kiss. I didn’t realize that all of this added up to me needing her.
But I could never say it out loud.
Breed Me. Daddy Alpha – Chapter 334
Amber let out a loud scoff, “The pack needs me? Julian, I’m nobody to your pack You’ve never made me public.”
She refused, hard. “No, I’m not going to throw my life away to be your housewife again. Don’t you need to go take care of your Luna, anyway?”
Amber turned to leave, and I stepped forward, ready to follow her. I wasn’t going to give up this easily. I’d grieved Amber for years. Now that I found her, I wasn’t going to let her go so easily.
“Julian, if you keep harassing me, I will call the police,” Amber said, wielding her cellphone in my direction. “Try to keep what’s left of your dignity, Alpha.”
Roman put his arm around Amber. Anger boiled inside me thinking of their relationship. This other Alpha was with my chosen mate, my wife.
It wasn’t fair.
“Amber, let’s go home,” Roman said. She nodded, leaning ever so slightly into his body, as though she needed protection from me.
There was something in Roman’s voice as he spoke that didn’t seem quite sincere, though. As though his words were meant to barb me, to irritate me, instead of solely to comfort her.
Amber left with him anyway. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Find★Novel.net
I could only stand in the sunlight outside the auditorium, clenching my fists so hard they shook, and watch my wife walk away from me again.
Amber’s POV
I waited at the door for the Alice. I wanted to grab her and slip away before Julian could show up again. I couldn’t imagine what would happen if Julian ran into Alice.
He would do the math, of course. He would figure out Alice was his — Julian had never been dumb, except when it came to his emotions and the feelings of others.
When he figured it out, he might try to take Alice from me. His behavior was so erratic, he might even try to hurt her. I wouldn’t let that happen.
Alice ran towards me, her face full of joy. My heart broke for her. She deserved to feel happy without having to worry about Julian.
“He showed up! My new dad showed up and bought my painting!” Alice beamed, bouncing on her toes in excitement. “Now I can donate so much money to the orphanage!”
I knelt down so that I could talk to Alice face—to—face. “I know you’re excited, but you cannot talk to that man again. He’s dangerous, Alice.”
Alice’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Mommy, he was really nice to me. I don’t think he would hurt me.”
“Alice, this isn’t an argument,” I said. I hated these moments, where I had to break Alice’s little bubble of innocence. “I need you to listen me, okay?”
Alice’s face turned serious, and she pulled a little piece of paper out of her pocket. There was a phone number and an address written on it in blue pen.
“You should talk to him, Mommy,” she said. “I want him to be my new daddy. He showed up when he said he would, and when he was here, the mean kids at school didn’t bully me at all.”
I stroked Alice’s hair. My heart was now thoroughly pulverized. “What, you don’t want me to be your dad?” Roman teased.
I’d forgotten he was here. While I appreciated all the help Roman had provided us with, I’d made it clear that we were only friends. It wasn’t his place to ask my daughter if she wanted him to be her dad, because that wasn’t what I wanted, either.
Irritation burned in my throat. “No,” Alice whined. “You’re not tall enough. You can’t lift me high enough to touch the ceiling.”
Roman’s smile froze. He didn’t say anything else, and I didn’t dare to speak I-Iis usually gentle expression seemed to crack, revealing a hint of coldness.
Julian’s POV
“Beta,” I said as soon as I entered my office back at headquarters. “I need information on Amber Wood and Alpha Roman of Dawn Pack”
“With all due respect, Alpha,” Beta responded, speaking carefully, “isn’t Amber Wood dead? She has a plot in your private cemetery.”
“There have been some changes in circumstance, Beta. Amber isn’t dead. I ran into her today.”
I watched Beta’s face, knowing that what I was telling him shouldn’t be possible, but needing him to pretend it was nothing. I didn’t possess the ability to explore what her return meant to me yet, so all I could do was collect information on her.
He took my words in stride, as though dead wives turned up alive everyday. “I’ll get to work immediately, Alpha,” Beta said, giving me a polite nod and heading off.
Later that day, Beta returned. He told me that Amber’s name was in Dawn Pack’s hospital records along with work documentation. The dates were after the plane crash. She must have ended up in Dawn Pack after the crash somehow.
She must have been treated there, then worked in Dawn Pack I felt sad thinking of her working jobs at restaurants or shops while she lived there. She deserved more. I could’ve given her more.
It made sense, though, that she and Roman had met each other.
She’d come to Thorn Pack recently. Beta didn’t find any plane tickets under her name. Roman must have flown her over in his private jet.
The more Beta told me about Amber’s whereabouts, the more jealous I became. Why would Amber do this to me? Why was my wife hiding from me in another pack for all these years, getting involved with another man?
With another Alpha, at that?
Breed Me. Daddy Alpha – Chapter 335
It hit me like a lightning strike. The last Werewolf Council meeting was hosted in Thorn Pack Amber had helped me organize it as part of her housewife duties, even though she appeared only as an assistant. Maybe she met Roman at the reception.
Did their affair begin back then, or had they met later?
Either way, Amber was still my wife. Her running away, her becoming involved with Roman, all of it made her a disloyal woman.
This image of Amber shook me to my core. I couldn’t make sense of this version of Amber I was discovering. It didn’t mesh with the affectionate, loyal woman I remembered being married to.
“Find Amber’s address, Beta,” I said. “Spare no expense. I need answers.” Of course, Beta returned soon with her address. I couldn’t wait to wrap up the rest of my work for the day.
As soon as I could leave, I drove over to the address Beta had recovered for me. The house was modest, not dangerous or run- down, but far from luxurious. I thought of her working in restaurants in Dawn Pack
Why would she choose a life like this when I could provide her with so much more? This content belongs to find~novel~net
It didn’t make sense, considering how much she’d loved money back when we were together. It was possible that Roman was her new sugar daddy, but if that was true, he obviously hadn’t given her much.
I got out of the car and walked up to the door, knocking. Amber opened the door. Shock covered her face. “Why are you here?” she whispered at me, pulling the door close so that only her face was visible. She seemed nervous. Like she was facing off with an unwelcome ex. “I’m here to take you home,” I said. “No, Iulian,” Amber said. “I told you no.” I reached into my pocket, pulling out a bank card. I’d come prepared. “There’s ten million on this card. Is that enough?” Amber hit the card back towards me, rage enveloping her face. “You don’t have to play hard to get, Amber,“ I said, my temper flaring. Suddenly, the door opened wider, revealing a frowning Roman. He stepped forwards, his arms crossed. “You’re following us?” he asked, his arms crossed. Amber’s POV I’d been making dinner for Alice while Roman helped her build Lego in the living room.
I knew Alice didn’t like Roman very much. He never took playtime seriously, more hanging around Alice while she played her games while he sat nearby. He acted like they were close, but he didn’t spend much time actually connecting with her.
I sometimes suspected Roman’s affection towards Alice was an act. He often came off as though he found kids loud and annoying, like when they’d been waiting for the auction to start at the school and he’d rolled his eyes at two boys playing a game in the hallway.
Then, someone knocked on the door. I went to open it and left Roman to watch Amber. I saw Iulian on the other side, an intense, angry look on his face.
A quick flash of fear coursed through my body, but it left quickly. My bigger fear was of Julian discovering Alice.
I’d never imagined Iulian would come to my house. I’d never imagined he’d be standing on my doorstep. It shattered any sense of safety I’d felt here.
I swatted the bank card out of his hand, sending it back at him. The feeling was familiar, bringing back the memory of Olivia offering to pay me away in the hospital years ago.
I’d known he was the Alpha, and that he had the ability to find me if he wanted to. But I didn’t think he’d show up at the door, uninvited, and insult me with the assumption that all I desired in life was money.
