Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 429

Chapter 87: I Have Avenged You
I snuck into the dungeon with Tallis, down to the cell where Warren was being kept.
However, Warren wasn’t the only one there. Raymond was standing in front of him with the sacred feather in his hand. He had a smug smile on his face that I would have loved to rip off.
“Having a prince being held hostage is incredibly advantageous. I can use you to trade back to your father. I’ll lose a prince, but I will gain something much more,” he taunted, waving•the feather back and forth in front of Warren’s eyes.
Warren looked dirty and pale. I wondered if Raymond was starving him and trying to weaken him. My stomach shifted uncomfortably. I’d barely thought about what had become of Warren since he was taken prisoner by the guards.
However, Warren remained calm and poised, despite how he looked.
“l think you overestimate how much my father cares for me. He’s not going to do what you want.”
Raymond threw his head back and laughed. “l think you underestimate what lengths your father will go to for family and blood. For him, it is all about image. As a member of his family, you are a part of that image. Having you taken prisoner will make him look weak.”
Warren pressed his lips tightly, but he didn’ t make a sound or lash out.
Raymond laughed again. “Fortunately, I’m not greedy. I’m not asking for much. See, the king has the power to name me Alpha of pack Alvar. It won’t cost him anything to say ‘yes’ to my demands and then he’ll get his son back and never have to admit how weak his bloodline is.’
I clenched my hands into fists. Raymond needed to be punished!
I glanced at Theo, and he just shook his head, silently telling me not to be impulsive and run out to punch Raymond in the face.
“I already have the feather. The symbol of power in Alvar. My position in the pack might be a little shaky right now, but once your father names me Alpha, no one will dare question my authority again,” Raymond explained. “l’ m already the leader here, for the most part. Your father just has to nod and make it official. I can’t wait to hear them call me Alpha!”
Anger boiled inside of me and my blood ran hot. I couldn’t hold back any more and stepped out from the corner I was hiding behind.
“You’ll never be Alpha!”
Warren’s eyes lit up when he saw me and he smiled. Raymond whipped around, glaring at me and snarling.
“You’re going to pay for Susan and Jasmine’s deaths,” I added.
Raymond’s eyes went wide and his face paled slightly. He tightened his grip on the feather like he was worried I would
You take it again.
“Guards! Come and arrest this wench!” Raymond hissed, pointing at me with a heavy glare.
I heard footsteps running into the hall behind me. They were still around the corner, and I heard Theo shift. The guards screeched to a halt and I heard their shocked gasps. A shiver ran down my spine when I heard Theo’s snarls and the click of his claws on the stone floor.

My mind wandered back to the assassins he’d killed right in front of me, taking them out in seconds. I imagined his massive wolf form launching at the guards and ripping them apart quickly and efficiently.
The sounds of their fighting got more distant and it sounded like Theo had taken them outside, probably to keep Warren and Raymond from seeing him and guessing who he was.
“How did you…” Raymond’s mouth fell open as he glared at me.
I smirked as he realized his guards were being taken out and no one was coming to arrest me. Raymond bared his teeth at me, his eyes glowing. For a second, I worried he would shift and tackle me, the same way he killed Jasmine.
Theo was still nearby, even if he was outside. I trusted that he wouldn’t let Raymond hurt me. Raising an eyebrow, I glared at Raymond, daring him to do something.
The pounding of footsteps down the stone corridor drew my attention, along with Raymond and Warren.
Two pack elders came into view, Frederic and Murray.
“What is going on here?” Frederic asked.
Raymond had said his position in the pack was shaky. Theo and I had discovered that a lot of pack members were ;tarting to question Raymond.
He still had elders on his side, and I didn’t know if Frederic Murray supported him, so it was better that I didn’t throw around until I knew where their loyalties lied. Oth they’d never believe me, just like the rest of the pack Raymond had brainwashed.
‘Ciana, are you the real Ciana Black?” Murray asked me.
I nödded. “I’m back to restore the pack.” I lifted my chin and showed them all the authority of an Alpha’s daughter.
The fact that he at least asked the question rather than •lindly believing whatever Raymond had to say meant he was at least suspecting Raymond, if not fully against him.
“Then you’ re just in time to see us take this traitorous scum into custody. He has a lot to answer for,” Frederic said, nodding toward Raymond.
“Agreed,” I said.
Behind me, I heard heavy breathing and I glanced around the corner. Theo was back from taking out the guards. He had a littlé blood splattered on his skin but where my gaze fell was the firm, bulging abs that lined his abdomen.
Eyes wide, I just stared for a moment until he covered his body in those stupid carny clothes. All part of his disguise so no one knew who he really was.
I peeled my eyes off tlne lines of his muscles and pushed the landscape of his body out of my mind.
Talk about eye candy…. Focus, it wasn’t the right time!
‘If you’re here to take Raymond into custody, I will help,” I said, turning my attention back to the others and trying to ignore the smoking hot god-like man who was still partially naked behind me.
“Alright, I see I am outnumbered. I know when I’m defeated,” Raymond said with a sigh. He lifted his hands into the air, ready to surrender.
Frederic, Murray, and I moved in to take him into custody, blocking his exit just in case he tried something. I got to Raymond first and grabbed one of his wrists.
Quickly, Raymond spun around until he was behind me. He pinned my arms against my back and held me still. With his free hand, he brought a knife to my throat.
“Nobody moves. I’m not letting you take me to face your judgment. I’ m better than that! l’ m your leader,” Raymond snarled, pressing the knife harder to my skin.
I inhaled sharply. The tip of the sharp knife stung my neck and I felt a pinprick of warm blood against my skin.
“Don’t come any closer,” Raymond ordered.
Frederic and Murray backed off, opening the way for Raymond to escape from the dungeon.
454 “Ciana,” Warren called to me.
I shook my head at him, telling him not to worry. Raymond wasn’t going to get away!
He held me toward Frederic and Murray, the knife against my throat, and back toward the dungeon stairs. I stayed calm and stead, knowing this would be Raymond’s biggest mistake.
As soon as he got close to the corner where Theo was hiding, Theo thrust his strong, powerful fist and punched Raymond in the face.
Groaning, Raymond’s grip on me loosened and he staggered back. Murray and Frederic rushed forward and the three of us pounced on Raymond, pinning him down and holding him still. He roared and struggled against us but we had the upper hand now.
“Make sure to search him for more weapons,” I said.
“We’ll take him to the pack square where he’ll be brought to justice. Meet us there,” Frederic said to me.
“I’ll be right behind you,” I told Frederic.
“Prince Warren, let us help you to the packhouse where you can recover and get some rest. We’ll handle the situation from here,” Murray said as he opened Warren’s cell and two pack members helped Warren to stand up.
“Warren! You alright?” I rushed over.
“Yes, I’m okay… Thanks for coming back for me.”
