Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 38: Plan A or Plan B? 

I was able to find the correct doors and hallways without even thinking about it, as if I had lived in the place for a long time. 

I reached the dungeon and pushed open the heavy door. Two guards stood on the other side. Taking one look at me, they bowed their heads and let me through. This woman was important, and it was strange to be revered that way as I walked along the stone floor. 

The dungeon was dark and musty smelling, much the same way the place I had been held for all of those months was. 

Brook had trailed along behind me, and I heard her making little comments under her breath about the smell and the dirty state of the place, and I almost laughed. I wondered how hard it had been for her to visit me in the dungeon back home. 

When we arrived down by the cells, I saw a familiar face and almost froze in my tracks. The guard standing outside. of the cell where Theo was being kept, talking to him through the bars, sounded much different than he had in the other world. 

“Quiet down! You’re a prisoner now. And no, we won’t let you approach our lady again!” Jake… I wondered what he would feel if he remembered how he’d spoken to his Alpha when we get back to our world…. 

Theo was standing. His arms were across in front of his chest, and he was leaning against the wall casually. No matter what situation he was in, he always seemed to have control of everything. I’d never seen him panicked, helpless, or weak in general. 

It was as if he wasn’t a prisoner, but a prince who happened to pay a visit to the dungeon. He was, in fact, a prince–a powerful, cold, and extremely handsome one, even when he was in jail. 

As soon as Theo’s dark eyes settled on me, he ignored the man who was his Beta in the real world and gave me a nod. From his expression, obviously, he’d been expecting me to come here relatively soon. “What took you so long?” he asked. 

I opened my mouth to respond to him, but before I could get any words out, Brook said, “How dare you? You cannot speak to our lady that way! Especially after what you’ve done to her!” 

“Am I speaking to you?” Theo threw her a cold and expressionless glare. He wasn’t happy with the situation at all–when it was obvious that Prince Theo wasn’t happy, it could get really scary. 

Brook took several steps back. It looked for a moment like she might burst into tears. 

“It’s all right,” I said to Brook, holding a hand out to steady her. 

“Open the door,” Theo commanded. 

This time, Jake stepped in, as if he felt he had the obligation to stand up for the two women there. He scolded Theo, “You should be ashamed of yourself. How unruly! You cannot speak to a lady this way!” 

Theo’s expression was priceless. 

He had probably never been spoken to in that way, especially by his own Beta. 

What a world… as crazy as the situation was, I couldn’t help but find it a bit funny. Nevertheless, I pressed down the upcurl of my lips so that I didn’t irritate the already–cranky prince anymore. 

“It’s okay,” I said to Jake in a calm voice. “Open it.” 

“My lady!” Brook urged, her eyes widened at my decision. 

“But my lady,” Jake said, turning to look at me. “This man has been accused of committing heinous acts against you. Surely, you must see that he deserves to be punished for these awful activities?”
