Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 376

Chapter 34: Share His Room

*Ciana*

The ride back to the castle was quiet and long. For hours and hours, I sat in a seat across from Theo, but like on the way here, we didn’t speak much-except this time, I wasn’t upset with him. I was upset with myself.

I’d gone to a whole lot of trouble for absolutely no reason. While I had figured out that there were multiple problems brewing in my pack, I had solved exactly none of them. And even worse, my good friend and mentor had been killed in order to frame me for her murder.

Every time I thought about her, I felt overwhelmed by suffocating sadness and white-hot anger. The pain growing within my chest was too raw and too fresh for me to even accept that it was real, and I longed to be out of the range of the prince’s watchful eye so I could let my emotions out.

Theo had only briefly mentioned that we needed to be back to the palace by Full Moon, which was only a couple of days away from now, but he didn’t tell me anything else- even if he had, I probably wouldn’t pay much attention.

As the car approached the palace, I could feel the dread that washed over me. Looking at Theo’s face, I saw a similar expression there and thought perhaps I didn’t know him that well after all.

The door was opened for me, and I got out. We had arrived late in the evening, and I was exhausted.

As we walked up the steps to the palace, I suddenly remembered that I was supposed to be his prisoner before I’d left the palace. What would he do to me then? Would I be returning to my generous accommodations in the dungeon?

But when Jake asked where he should place me, Theo replied, “The room next to mine will do. Also, get Dottie.”.

My eyebrows raised, and for a moment, I thought he was being a civilized human being for once. But then I remembered why we were here-the dreamberry, and the fact that I was the source of the blood he needed.

‘That’s right. Theo doesn’t want me for me. He just wants my blood,’ I reminded myself.

Luckily, I was able to recover quite fast.

“No major concerns regarding Miss Black,” Dottie assured Theo, and then she turned to me and said, “Dear, make sure you get lots of rest and you’ll be fine!”

I sat up, thinking maybe some reading before bed would help me fall asleep easier when the door between my room and Theo’s opened.

“You should be asleep by now,” Theo said.

I had forgotten that he had extraordinarily sharp hearing. “Did I bother you? Sorry, I couldn’t sleep,” I said.

He came over to the foot of the bed, and in the light of the almost-full moon, I could see that he was concerned.
