Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 431

Chapter 89: My Mate and My Beloved
The trip to Maggie’s pack didn’t take too long.
Vaner pack was one of the biggest packs in the northwest of the Egoren Kingdom. It may not be as rich as Sophia’ s Pomeni Pack, but at a minimum, they were similar in terms of territory and population. It was a good pack for a member of the royal family to marry into.
Along the way, Warren and I didn’t have much else to do except talk about his sister.
haven’t seen Maggie in a long time. I think it was her wedding the last time I saw her,” Warren explained as we rode alone in the hired car.
“You haven’t seen her since she left home?” I arched an eyebrow.
Warren shrugged. “She hasn’t let me come visit. I remember how tender and loving Demarco, her husband, was to her at the wedding. They hadn’t known each other long, but he was so… devoted. They’ re fated mates. I always hoped that when I found my mate, we’d feel that strongly toward each other.”
“Why hasn’t she let you visit?” I asked, glancing at the changing scenery. We had to go around the road that had the cave in and that made the trip a couple hours longer.
“l don’t know. She won’t ever tell me. And she hasn’t come back to the palace, either. It is almost like she’s being kept away. But I know Demarco would do anything for her,” Warren said, sighing.
“Well, I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you, whatever the reason. You are her brother,” I said, smiling.
“She’s not going to have a choice this time. I’m showing up to surprise her. I mean, I’m sure everything is fine, but I do want to check on her.” Warren gave a bashful smile and looked outside the window.
I thought it was cute that he wanted to check on his sister. I wondered how close they were before she got married. Warren seemed pretty bummed that she wouldn’t let him come visit.
“Has she ever let Theo visit?” I asked, curiously. “Or anyone else?”
‘Not that I know of. I don’t see why she would. Theo is only our half-brother,” Warren reminded me.
Maybe that was why Theo always seemed annoyed or exasperated when talking about Warren. He made it seem like a chore. I wondered if Theo had felt isolated or disconnected because he wasn’t their full sibling.
“Were you and Maggie close when you were growing up?” I questioned. I hoped I wasn’t pestering him too much. “Sure. She is my twin,” Warren told me, chuckling.
“Wow! Twin sister! I bet she is a beauty!”
“Thanks,” Warren smiled. “She’s always kind and gentle. A very graceful woman. She… well, she took care of me while we Mate were growing up.”
There was a border patrol checkpoint that we had to pass through before going into Vaner pack territory.
“State your name and business,” the border patrol shifter said, looking down his nose at us.
“I’m Prince Warren and this is Ciana Black. We’re here to see my sister, Maggie,” Warren said, pointing between the two of us.
“Greetings, Your Highness! Please go ahead.” The border patrol shifter lowered his head to bow to us and waved our car through the checkpoint.
As far as I knew, Pack Vaner had very few problems with rogues and wars with other packs. With how tight they kept security, it was no wonder.

The car drove us right up to the pack mansion. My breath flew out the window as I stared at it. Pack Vaner was much wealthier than my pack, if the exterior of the mansion was any indication.
We went up a private cobblestone road lined with blooming magnolia trees. The grounds were beautifully landscaped with all kinds of gorgeous gardens. It looked like we were approaching a royal palace.
The mansion itself was very well cared for on the outside and there were lots of people moving around, trimming the hedges, and cleaning the windows.
“This place is beautiful,” I whispered as the car came to a stop.
“That’s all thanks to my sister.” Warren smiled, puffing up his chest with pride.
A servant was waiting for us on the steps. She hurried us into the main dining room where Maggie and Demarco were already expecting us.
Maggie’s lips curved up in a warm smile, but I could see the hesitation in her eyes.
“Warren, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? This place is in no shape for guests,” Maggie scolded softly, shaking her head.
It reminded me of the way a mother would dotingly scold a child, anyone could tell she wasn’t really upset. Warren had said Maggie took care of him, she did have a strong maternal presence.
“Surprise!” Warren opened his arms for a big hug. “Aren’t you happy to see me?”
“Of course, I am, you big goof,” she chuckled, gently using her finger to tap on Warren’s long, straight nose. Then she gave Warren a quick hug and stepped back.
“Welcome to Vaner,” Demarco said, also hugging Warren.
“It is good to have you.”
“T)ånk you. And you’re crazy if you think this place isn’t ready for guests. It is immaculate, as always,” Warren told them with a big, boyish grin.
“You’re silly,” Maggie said, waving dismissively
‘”Who’s this lovely young lady that you bring?”

how Demarco quickly turned to her and stood like he was going to catch her, as if he expected her to fall. Maggie just cleared her throat. Still, Demarco went to her side and touched her shoulder, a deep look of concern in his eyes. He was so tender and devoted, just like Warren had told me. They’d been married for years and he still took such good care of her. If only we were all lucky enough to find a love like that. I took a closer look at Demarco. He was familiar

“Mate, no… we’re…”
“That’s not what..
Warren and I both rushed to explain. We exchanged an awkward glance and Warren chuckled.
“Ciana and I are just good friends,” he explained.

He told her about King Sebastian’s plan to get Theo to marry. Maggie seemed to be quite surprised, but then, she simply nodded and moved on to other topics. I was simply grateful that Warren didn’t tell Maggie I was one of the chosen candidates for him. As the conversation wore on, I saw Maggie slump down in her chair. Demarco put his hand firmly on her shoulder. She smiled at him but her eyelids were drooping and her skin looked pale. “I think that is enough for now.” Demarco stepped in. “I’ll get Maggie upstairs to rest. It is a nice day out. Why don’t you two take a walk around and I’ll have guest rooms prepared.” “That sounds like a good idea,” Warren urged. “Maggie, you shouldn’t be moving around like this while you’re sick! Go
