Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 370

Chapter 28: This Is a Trap

*Theo*

As I followed Ciana and her former governess, or so I'd learned, back to the Alpha's mansion, I couldn't believe the story she'd made up about me. How dare she?!

The girl was obviously having way too much fun. It all seemed so amusing to her, and I just wanted to shake some sense back into her-to take her in my arms, stare into her eyes, breathe in her scent-and tell her it wasn't funny at all.

But I knew it wasn't the right time to do so, so I forced myself to filter the nonsense pouring out of those two women and focused on the key piece of information-revolution?

Would it have anything to do with that Luther guy? What was their ultimate goal?

Regardless of the situation, something wasn't right here, and I needed to know exactly what was going on, not only for Ciana and her pack, but also for the overall security of the country.

After turning the corner, we arrived at our destination. The Alpha's house was clean, fairly sizable, and well kept. The moment we entered it, I could tell the owners put their heart into their home.

Unlike the royal palace, which was filled with meaningless luxuries, the design and decoration of this place was quite simple. Yet, the mood was such that the moment anyone walked in, they would feel welcome and relaxed, like a long­time traveler who had finally reached their home.

Needless to say, Ciana's parents had good taste. Maybe one day, I would be able to meet them.

I followed Ciana through the door and noticed that, unlike most Alphas' residences, there weren't other servants. The place was quiet-quiet and nice.

"Miss, you must be very tired," Susan said to Ciana while looking at me. Did she want anything from me?

I ignored her and walked straight through the door, as I heard her mumble to Ciana, "Miss, he doesn't act like a servant at all...

I can ask my nephew to come here to help, if you're okay with it." "Oh, no, no need, Susan! Um... Thorn is actually very competent." "I don't see it. Miss, you need someone who is smart and understands what his master wants to serve you."

I clenched my fists. Ciana better get this done quickly. My patience was limited. Obviously, Ciana could tell I wasn't happy. She looked at me with a bright smile.

I turned on Ciana. "Kicked by a mule, huh?” "I'm sorry," she said, trying to bite back a laugh. "I just thought it would be more believable that way, and if you did accidentally say you were the prince, I could blame it on your head injury." "Don’t
