Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 396

Chapter 54 Not a Monster

I wondered what in the world I was going to do next. After all, Prince Theo had just given up his best chance at breaking free of the Moonlit Crystal. It seemed like he had made a hasty decision.

Why was he turned down Lady Nita’s offer? Because of my blood? That’s what he said, and that’s what I thought, too, but it seemed like an awful lot for him to be willing to risk cer- tain death over. After all, the dreamberry wouldn’t do him any good if he was unconscious for the rest of his life.

I sat back on the bed next to him. I wanted to ask him a lot of questions, but all I could do was sit and stare at him.

It was clear he wasn’t feeling well. His eyes were begin- ning to close, and he could hardly sit up. Nevertheless, when he spoke, his voice was harsh. “Go ahead and say it. I know what you want to tell me, so just spit it out.”

Taken aback, I asked him, “What are you talking about?” How could he possibly know what I wanted to say to him when I didn’t even know.

“You agree with her. I can see it in your eyes. You think I’m a monster, just like my mother does.” With that, he let his eyes go closed, and I thought he was falling back to sleep.

I couldn’t let that happen, though. Not on this note, any- way.

I placed my hand on his leg. “That’s not true.”

He smirked, “You can be honest. I’m not going to hurt you for telling the truth.”

“Theo,” I didn’t know where I’d gotten the guts to call him. by his name, but I felt strongly that I needed to get this straight. I was dead serious. “I do not think that you are a monster.”

He opened his eyes just a bit. Dark slits looked out at me, his eyebrows arching slightly as he was trying to scrutinize what I’d said.

“When you first got here…” he tried to justify his state- ment, “I killed right in front of you, seven young girls, just like you. That didn’t make you think I was a cold-blooded murder- er?”

Flashes of memories danced before my eyes as I thought about what had happened when I had entered Prince Theo’s office with those other girls. They were assassins, and they had come there to kill him. All that Theo and Jake had done was defend themselves.

“I didn’t know the details of what happened with those packs, and I couldn’t judge you based on what seemed to be going on just on the surface.” I shook my head. “It did scare me a little bit because I wasn’t sure if you were going to be- lieve me when I said I didn’t have anything to do with them. But you took my word and didn’t harm me.”

“I didn’t take your word. You’re too weak to be an assas- sin.”
