Chapter 442

Chapter 100: A Kiss of Death
•Theo •
I watched my brother fall to the ground in a lifeless heap.
‘Theo, what happened?!” Ciana asked me.
What could I say? That after killing Maggie, I just had another “accidental” murder?
“Oh Goddess! Warren!” Ciana let out a shrill cry. She went to his side and dropped to her knees, looking horrified. “Warren! Warren!”
He didn’t move.
‘Theo, do something!”
But there was nothing to be done. I’d touched Warren, that meant the worst of my fears. was possible. In fact, it might have already happened.
How much of his life my body had sucked out, I didn’t know. My only hope was that Warren, being a descendant of King Lycaon, sharing the same blood as me, would help him withstand my cursed ability more than normal people.
“l told him not to get close…” The words caught in my mouth and I felt like my whole world was caving in on me.
“Warren, come on, open your eyes! Warren please.” Ciana patted his face, trying but failing to wake him. She pressed her ear to his chest and lifted her gaze to me, seeking my help.
But I couldn’t help her. I couldn’t help anyone. The only thing I could bring was death.
“Theo, are you listening to me?” Ciana tried to get my attention. “Theo!”
I looked at her numbly when Jake burst through the door. “Alpha, sorry, I’m a little late. After getting your order, 1—”
He didn’t finish his words when he realized what might have occurred.
His eyes moved from my bare hands to Warren’s body on the ground. He stood as still as a statue as his eyes continued to look at my brother.
“No.” He gasped slowly.
*Ciana•
Neither of the men before me moved. They both stared at Warren completely lost. I didn’t understand why the heck they Neren’t jumping into action.
Thank the Goddess, I could still feel Warren’s heartbeat nder my palm. He was alive but barely.
“His heart is still beating but it’s really slow. Don’t just stand there, we need to get him help.” I bellowed at them.
“What did you say?!” Jake’s eyes widened and he immediately rushed to my side. We moved Warren to a bed in the
Oea’h nearest room.
A hopeful glimmer appeared in Theo’ s eyes as he snapped out from his trance, “You say he is—”
“Alive,” I assured him. “But I need you to tell me what is wrong with Warren so I can try to help him. What exactly did you do to him?”
Theo fell into silence again.
Jake glanced at Theo, quickly assessed the situation, and looked back at me, sighing, “First thing first, I need to get in touch with Dottie.’

I nodded, watching Jake walk out of the room to send the message. Looking around, I noticed the servants and guards had gathered around us. I spotted Aurora, who almost fainted the moment she saw how weak Warren was.
“Aurora, first, please tell everyone, not a single word leaves this property, otherwise, the consequence is fatal, understand?” I didn’t need Demarco or. Luther to know what had occurred. The situation was messy enough.
She nodded her head.
“Second, could you prepare some clean water and medical supplies? We need to bandage both of the princes up.”
As soon as Jake walked back into the room, he assessed the situation, dismissed everyone, and got the security of the entire property under control.
Warren’s wounds were soon cleaned up, but he remained unconscious.
At this point, all we could do was wait for the royal healer to arrive.
Theo sat on a sofa at the far side of the room, staring at Warren. I couldn’t tell what was going through his mind and thought it might be a good idea to give him some space.
‘Jake, I’m going to get some food. Could you help me?”
Jake gave me a knowing nod and followed me, leaving the royal brothers in the room. Once we were out and away from the door, I crossed my arms in front of my chest and asked, “Now, could you tell me everything?”
He took a deep breath and went straight to the point. “Alpha has an ability to take away other’ s lives if he touches them using his hands, or his fangs.’
His voice was barely above a whisper but I had heard him clearly.
I froze. I had long known Theo possessed dangerous powers, but this was still beyond what I’d expected.
“You mean, all he needs to do is…. touch?”
“Yes. Alpha’s touch drains the life source out of a person. It was so powerful that whoever that comes in contact with him that way would be killed.
No wonder he was invincible.
“l know what you’ re thinking, but Alpha is undefeatable not because of his ability. In fact, he does everything he can to avoid using his power. If anything, his ability is a constraint, not a help for him.”

seen the suffering that he went through.” My eyes widened. I would never be able to wrap my head around it, all I could feel was a dull

“What?! Why?”
“We don’t know,” Jake shook his head. “You remember fainting at the pavilion?”
“So did you… but neither you or I were even touching him!”
“Correct, and that’ s exactly why we’ re so concerned. It doesn’t happen often, but according to Alpha, there are rare situations when he believes that he has absorbed others’ lives without physical contact.’
I gasped.
Jake let out another sigh. “He wears gloves and keeps his distance. No one would ever believe that the Dark Prince chooses to be alone not because he’s coldhearted, but because he wants to protect those around him.”
And that was why he kept pushing me away after we returned from the illusional world. That was why his attitude shifted dramatically before I left the palace for the second time!
It wasn’t because he was mean for no reason, but because he was trying to do what was best for me.
My heart started to pound harder in my chest, and I felt tears welling up in my eyes.
“Growing up, everyone was afraid of Alpha, except the king. He took a special liking to his youngest son, not because they shared a special bond. It’s because the Dark Prince is his
secret weapon.”
He swallowed the large lump in his throat, trying to continue what he needed to say. “One touch and his enemies are dead. There is no need to train massive troops when one man can kill an army. The king uses him to seize territories and force his enemies into submission. To him, Alpha isn’t his son, but a useful tool.’
My hands covered my mouth as I sucked in air.
I couldn’t fathom how a father could be so cruel to his offspring. All this time, Warren held resentment and thought his father didn’t love him and that he was the rejected son. While in reality, Theo was being treated even worse.
And the packs that the king had ordered Theo to take out… I couldn’t imagine how he felt when he was forced to fight those innocent people.
“Did he not try to break free from the king?”
Jake stared at me solemnly for a few seconds. “Ciana, think it through. If you were Alpha, I’m sure you would make the same choice as him by staying in his role.”
As I took a moment to digest Jake’s words, many things flashed through my mind.
Right… With or without Theo, if the king is determined to do something, it would get done, except, it would get done in an even more ugly and cruel manner.
At least, if Theo was in control, he could choose to minimize the loss of lives.
A conclusion jumped into my head. “Theo never truly obeyed the king’s orders. He didn’t wipe out the packs like he was supposed to, he figured ways to spare their lives…”
Jake smiled wryly. “If not, where do you think Luther’ s Shadow recruits came from?”
