Pregnant With Four Alphas' Babies: A Reverse Harem Romance Chapter 168: Get Help

*Rose*

“Where are we going?” I ask Diana as she leads me out of the room where Kane had intended for me to stay toward the sound of troops shouting and running outside. I think they must be preparing to shift in order to go fight against the Alphas, and I don’t want to go that way. It seems dangerous to me.

“We’re going to Alpha Kane’s office,” she tells me.

I stop in my tracks. ‘What? Why?” That sounds like an even worse idea than where I’d thought we were going, toward the sound of fighting troops.

“Well, we need a phone,” she explains, “and in order to get one, we’ll have to go to his office. It’s the only phone in the entire castle.”

I’m still confused. “But won’t he know we’re in there?” I ask her.

She shakes her head. “He only spends time in his bedroom banging all of his maids or in the war room shouting orders at his commanders. Other than that, he’s usually out on the battlefield. He doesn’t spend a whole lot of time in his office.”

“What about other people?” I ask, still not walking toward her. “Doesn’t he have a secretary or his Beta or something? Someone who would be in or around his office?”

She lets out a loud sigh. “No! I’m telling you, the office is the best place for us to go right now. He’ll never look there. It’s probably more dangerous for you to be out of your room because he’s more likely to go in there and want to harass you than he is to go into his office. But it sounds like your boyfriends are keeping him busy right now, so as long as we hurry, we should be good.” She beckons for me to come, and I start walking again, struggling to keep up with my four babies in tow, but I still don’t think this is the best idea anyone has ever had.

“Why can’t I use the mind-link?” I ask her as I walk along. I’ve been trying to reach Tristan, Mark, Reece, or even Eli ever since I woke up and discovered where I was, but it hasn’t done any good.

“Alpha Kane’s got it all clogged up,” she says, waving her hand dismissively.

I am confused. “What do you mean all clogged up?” I’ve never heard of anything like that before.

“Yeah, so he is an Alpha, right? He can keep prisoners from being able to reach their pack mates, family members, even other Alphas. It’s a skill a lot of the Alphas have. I bet yours can do it, too.”

My mouth drops open, and I stare dumbfounded. I’ve never heard of anything like that before. “Well… I still don’t know how a phone is going to work. It’s not like I can just call the Alphas while they’re on the battlefield. And even if I do call them, what should I tell them? ‘Hi, I’m being held hostage by Kane.’ They likely already know that.”

She turns the corner quickly without peeking around first, and it makes me nervous to follow her, but she doesn’t wait for me, so I have to rush around to catch up with her.

“We can call your parents,” she says. “I know you said they were awful to you, but maybe they can get word to the Alphas of where you are. I heard Kane say something about a couple of your Alphas saving your parents, so maybe they’ll be willing to help.”

I shake my head. “Clearly, you don’t know my parents. They’ll be pissed at me for getting myself kidnapped to begin with.”

She slows down now and turns to look at me. “Just leave it to me. I’ll make them listen.”

My mouth drops open to protest, but we have reached the office now. Diana tries the doorknob and it won’t budge. It’s locked.

‘So much for that,” I say. She rolls her eyes. There’s a doormat in front of the door, which looks really weird since we are in the hallway. The doormat says, “Wipe the shit off your shoes–there’s enough shit going on in here!”

“What are you doing?” I ask her, but she doesn’t answer. Instead, she just reaches under the mat and pulls out a key, which she then uses to unlock the door. “I’ll be damned,” I mumble. “There is someone in the world who is just as dumb as King Gene.”

She laughs and puts the key back, and then we walk inside.

Sitting down at the desk, she picks up the phone and then looks at me. “What’s your phone number?”

I rattle it off for her, and she dials, but I don’t think this is going to work.

“Hello?” Diana says into the phone. “Yes, may I speak to the Luna or Alpha please?” She waits a moment and then says, “I’m calling with very important information from King Gene’s castle regarding their next payment for their daughter’s Breeder services. Yes, I’ll hold.”

And then, I realize what she’s going to say, and it makes me really sad.

But I know it will work.

“Hello?” she says a few seconds later. I can imagine my parents running to the phone, practically tripping over one another to get there in time to get the call. “Yes, this is Clarisse from King Gene’s office. I’m calling regarding the payment for Rose’s Breeder services. Who am I speaking to?” There’s a pause before Diana says, “Well, Luna Karen, I regret to inform you that your daughter has been kidnapped, and since she is no longer at the castle, King Gene has determined she will not be getting paid for her services anymore, and since she hasn’t fulfilled her duties, you will be forced to repay all of the money he has sent you.”

Diana immediately pulls the phone back away from her ear as my mother begins to scream like a lunatic. I can hear her shouting, not about me being kidnapped and in danger, but about having to repay the money.

“Listen,” Diana finally shouts, “if you want to get your next payment, you’ll have to figure out a way to get her out of Alpha Kane’s castle and back to King Gene’s. Maybe the four Alphas can help you, but I can’t. Now, if I were you, I’d send someone to find one of the Alphas and let them know that Rose is being held in the castle of Alpha Kane, that he’s threatening her life, and they need to hurry, got it? Otherwise, if she gets killed, you’ll be on the hook for all of that money.”

My mom screams a few more times before Diana says, “You heard me. You are running out of time. Goodbye.” She hangs up the phone and gives me a satisfied smile.

I shake my head. “You don’t know my parents. They will go hide somewhere so they don’t have to repay the money or free me.”

“No, they’ll do it,” she says confidently. I could hear it in her tone. “Don’t worry. Now, let’s get you back to bed.” She gets up from the chair and comes around the table, and we’re about to exit the room when the door opens and a familiar man is standing there.

“Well, shit,” I mutter.

Diana says, “Well, shit indeed.”
