Chapter 27 Prince Theo, Be My Servant

Jake drove us to my pack lands. The ride was almost ten hours, and Theo and I spent most of the trip in relative silence. The good thing was, the car used to transport royals was spacious enough for the two of us to maintain a comfortable distance from each other.

To not draw any unwanted attention, we were dropped off at the border of our pack lands, and we would walk the rest of the way.

Theo suddenly began to speak. "Who am I?"

I cocked my head to the side and studied his face for a moment. Did the brioche he had for lunch give him amnesia?

Then I understood what he meant.

He couldn't go into my pack as Prince Theo. It wouldn't be safe for the security of the palace for people to know he wasn’t there.

At the moment, he was wearing a pair of nice gray slacks and a blue button-down shirt that made him look almost like a regular person-

An incredibly handsome regular person with perfectly straight teeth, hair that was never out of place, and the muscles of a warrior....

"Doesn't the king know you're gone?" I asked him, still not sure what we should say about his identity.

"I told him I had some work to take care of right away and hinted that it might have to do with an uprising without being so bold. He is obsessed with this wife hunt at the moment and thinks that nothing else is as important." "Except for perhaps squashing a rebellion?" I filled in for him.

"Precisely. "

That made sense. "Well, if you really want to go incognito, I suppose you’ll just have to be my servant." I couldn't help the sly smile that covered my face as I drew the conclusion.

"Your... servant?" He said that last word like it was an obscenity, a word his mouth couldn't articulate.

"That's right. What's wrong with being a servant?" I leaned over and whispered, "Is it beneath you, Your Highness?"

He only increased his glower. "Yes."

Laughing, I pulled my bag up my shoulder. "Oh, well, I suppose you probably have a better idea, what with you being the most intelligent, sophisticated, wise man in all of the land."

He was right on my heels as I headed toward the exit. I felt his breath on my neck as he ordered, "Think again, if you don't want to be punished."

A shiver went down my spine, but it had nothing to do with the threat from his words. No, this trill was from something else.
