Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 397

Chapter 55 When I Find My Mate

There was only one person who could help us, and that was his mother. Luther wouldn’t do it, that was for certain.

I decided to go speak to her, but first, I needed to rest. I had no idea how long we had actually been in that other realm, but I felt like it had been days since I slept.

Before I got up off of Theo’s bed, I smoothed his hair. back. “Don’t worry, Theo. We’ll figure it out.”

Leaning forward, I brushed my lips against his. I wasn’t sure why I’d even done it, but it just felt right at the time.

The moment I sat up, I realized how foolish I was acting. If he had been awake, he would’ve pushed me away and told me I was disgusting or something.

Maybe nothing that harsh, but he hadn’t ever kissed me because he’d wanted to. He’d always been after something- from my blood to fooling Raymond back in my pack.

No, Prince Theo certainly didn’t have romantic feelings for me. And that was okay. We could just be friends. Even if that was the extent of our relationship, I’d be sure to help him. He needed someone to have his back after all of this time beside his Beta.

I went to sleep, but early the next morning, I got up, showered, dressed, checked on Theo and found him still asleep and then went to see Lady Nita.

She didn’t live in the castle proper like the rest of the royal

family. No, she lived in a palace a little bit away from the rest of the family.

She knew I was coming before I reached her door. The servants definitely let her know. When I knocked on her door, I half expected her to send me away.

Instead, the servant who had opened the door, a middle- aged man dressed smartly in a butler’s uniform, moved aside so I could see the queen clearly.

I bowed my head to her. “Your Highness, “I began. “Please help Prince Theo. I promise you that I will leave the palace af- ter everything is sorted.”

Her eyebrows arched, and for a moment, I thought she might laugh in my face and tell me to get out. “Why is that?” she asked me.

I shrugged. I didn’t want to tell her the truth, that he had helped me, both in the dream world and back in my pack, that I owed him for helping me.

It seemed to me that the best thing for me to do was to get out of the way. He’d already spent too much time with me. He needed to focus on the other girls to see if his mate might be there. It wasn’t me, after all.

“I just want to help him. If you’ll fix him, as soon as I’m done with the berry, I’ll leave. I have things to attend to in my own pack, after all.” I looked into her eyes for a second before I added, “Please.”

“Fine,” she said with a sharp nod. “But no matter what happens, no matter what he says, you must keep your promise. Do you understand? If you don’t, there will be conse-quences.”

“I understand.” What more could I say? I’d already made up my mind.

With that, she turned to her servant. “Cedrick, let’s go,” she said, and she started off back toward Prince Theo’s wing of the castle, the servant-Cedrick-coming along with her.
