Lycan king's substitute breeder

Chapter seventy four

Vivian

I slowly stood up from Oregon's lap, and he also got to his feet, his face a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

"Mom?" He called out, his voice soft. "What are you doing here?" He turned to me, and I just shrugged.

"Did you know she was coming?" He asked, and I shook my head.

"I had no idea," I said.

He turned back to his mother. "What are you doing here? You didn't even knock."

"It seems I interrupted you both. I apologize for that, but I have something to say to your breeder," she said, straining her voice as she pointed at me.

"What is that?" Oregon asked.

"I wasn't speaking to you, young man. I was rather talking to who I had called your breeder, Miss Vivian," she said, straining her voice as she pointed at me.

Oregon let out a loud sigh and looked at me. "Be careful with my mother, and try not to say too much. I have to leave now," he said, attempting to walk away, but I quickly grabbed his arm.

"Where are you going? I don't like how worried you look," I whispered, and he smiled, wiping his face as if it were stained.

"Oh, really? Is it that obvious?" He chuckled.

"What's bothering you?" I asked. "What is it?"

"Stephen has been bothering me through our mind link for a while now. He wants us to talk," he replied, and I sighed.

"What is it about?" I asked.

"Don't worry too much, I'm sure it's nothing major. Besides, he didn't mention anything specific. He just said that the elders want to have a quick meeting with you. That's why I need to go," he said.

I nodded. "Please hurry back. I don't want to be without you for too long."

A smile appeared on his lips as he nodded. "I promise, I won't be gone for long."

We hugged each other, and he hurried out of the room.

"That was quite a scene," Laura scoffed as she walked closer to me.

"So, what do you have to tell me?" I asked.

"You won't be meeting the trainer today," she said, and disappointment crossed my face.

"I don't understand. Why not? You promised me. Are you going back on your word because you regret helping me and seeing Oregon with me?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows.

Laura laughed and shook her head, clicking her tongue. "You're quite funny. I'm not like that. I'm not cheap or stupid."

I swallowed hard. "So, why are you doing this now? It's so sudden. I guess you really hate me that much."

"He won't be coming today. Instead, he'll come tomorrow at the same time," she said. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"Huh? Why? Is he sick?" I asked, concerned and dismayed.

"No," she answered, shaking her head. "I told him not to come today because you had something important to do. Instead, I told him to come tomorrow."

"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked. "I'm definitely not doing anything important."

"Are you joking or pretending not to remember?" she asked, laughing.

"Excuse me?" I muttered, wishing I understood what she was talking about.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten? What's been on your mind? Or did Oregon plan not to do it today?" she asked.

"Can you please keep your voice down and explain what you're talking about? I'm not trying to be funny, and I'm not pretending to forget anything," I defended calmly.

"Shouldn't Oregon have reminded you this morning? Or are you two planning not to do it anymore?" she said, and I gave her a confused look.

Laura rolled her eyes, folded her arms, and crossed them over her chest.

"Since you can't remember, let me remind you. Oregon and you, Vivian, are supposed to have sex tonight," she said, and I gasped.

"How... How did I forget that?" I whispered, trying to feign innocence.

I also remembered that Oregon and I had decided not to have sex because of my health condition. I didn't know how to explain myself to Laura, so I remained silent.

"Anyway, I know why the elders called for my son," she said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" she laughed, shrugging her shoulders. "They want to remind him that it's tonight."

I gulped and looked down nervously. "Oh..." I whispered.

"I should leave now," she said, and walked out of the room.

Once she was gone, I sat on the bed and let out a deep sigh. I wondered what would happen next. I suddenly remembered the medication the doctor had prescribed for me, so I went to take it.

Afterward, I decided to rest, but I woke up shortly after because my sleep wasn't very deep. I was deep in thought, wondering how Oregon and I would escape because I felt weak and wasn't ready for sex that night.

I heard a knock on the door, and my eyes widened. Could it be Oregon? "Come in," I said, and the door opened, revealing the person I had hoped for, Oregon!

I ran to him, threw my arms around him, and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back, stroking my hair.

"How was the meeting?" I asked, closing my eyes and relishing in the comfort and warmth of his embrace.

"It was... fine," he replied.

"What did they talk about?" I asked.

"Nothing important for you to know. Just government matters, policies, and so on," he replied, and I pulled away from his arms.

"I overheard..." I whispered.

"Huh?" he muttered, his eyes widening.

"The elders reminded you of what today is," I said, and his eyes narrowed.

"How... How did you know?" he stammered.

"But what are we supposed to do?" I asked, feeling lost and confused.

Oregon sighed heavily and placed his hand on my forehead, checking for a fever. "How are you feeling?" he asked, and I just shook my head.

He let out a deep sigh and whispered to me, "We don't have a choice, Vivian."
