Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 58: It’s Time For Her to Go

*Ciana*

I went to check on Theo every single day after I woke up. I didn’t know what happened or what Theo had inadvertently done to me in the pavilion after eating the dreamberry.

I just knew that something was off the first time I went to find him and saw a pair of guards standing outside of his room. Rarely did he have anyone around him, so the fact that he had placed guards outside of his door told me he was quite serious about not being disturbed.

“I just want to make sure he is okay. Please, let me in.”

“Sorry, miss, but Alpha would rather not be disturbed.” That was all I could get from them.

They told me that no one was allowed in by the prince’s orders. So I considered knocking on the door between our rooms, but it seemed disrespectful for me to do such a thing when he clearly didn’t want anyone to bother him. The few times I tried, it was always locked.

A few days after I woke up, I heard Jake in there speaking to him. Their voices were serious and a bit heated, especially right before I heard Jake leave the room, but I couldn’t understand what they were saying. I wanted to rush out of the room right then and catch Jake in the hallway so that I could question him.

But I didn’t do it because I was afraid.

I was afraid that maybe they had been talking about me. Maybe the reason Theo was so angry was because of something I had done or hadn’t done. Whatever it was, it could have caused him to react the way that he had in the pavilion.

I didn’t remember exactly what happened in the pavilion after Theo ate the berry. Everything seemed to be in a blur in my mind.

I just needed to understand exactly what happened, make sure everyone was all right, and then I could go home with peace of mind.

A couple of days after I heard Jake in his room speaking to him, I happened upon the Beta in the courtyard, visiting with Brook. The two of them were smiling at one another, clearly sharing pleasantries, so I thought now might be a good time. for me to approach Theo’s most trusted subordinate and ask him if it might be possible for me to get past those guards.

The moment Jake saw me, his countenance changed. “Ciana. You probably shouldn’t be out and about. You should be lying down,” he said, as if he wanted me to go back into hiding.

“I’m fine,” I assured him. “I was hoping I could speak to you, though.”
