Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 101 The White Queen and the Dark King

*Theo*

Her warm lips captivated me, moving so slowly and entic- ingly against mine. Her arms around my neck held me close and her breasts moved against my chest with each breath. I lifted my hands to pull her closer and stopped, clenching them into fists.

How easily I could forget myself and stay in her embrace with her warm, comforting lips. As Tallis, I had been able to lie to myself that as long as I was careful, I wouldn't hurt her.

But Maggie and Warren had reminded me of just how un- predictable and dangerous I was with their own lives!

I used all of my strength to leave those two soft, alluring lips, but the moment our kiss broke, I regretted it.

Her back was against the wall, her cheeks were pink and her sweet breath was rapid.

My eyes locked on her watery blue orbs and couldn't move away. Under her gentle gaze, the cold and rigid shells that had been sealing around my heart for years started to break down, revealing my extravagant desire to seek warmth and...love.

But how could I?

I took a step away, but I couldn't peel my eyes off her.

She had a light blush on her cheeks and I tried so hard to not pull her back.

I took a deep, trembling breath and steadied myself. In- side, I felt like I could explode at any moment, but after seeing Warren lying there, I couldn't let myself lose control like that again.

'Alpha, Dottie is here.' Jake's mindlink dragged me back to eality. A few moments later, he reappeared, and behind him was Dottie.

"Your Highness." Dottie lowered her head as a brief greet- ng and I gestured to her to check on Warren.

"Oh Goddess..." She put down her medicine case and started her routine immediately.

I caught Ciana's eye for a moment and she gave me an encouraging look before she followed Dottie to Warren's side.

My brother was still pale and pasty. Unlike before, now he was shivering a little even though Dottie had covered him in thick, down comforters. His eyes were closed, and every now and then, he winced and gasped.

Otherwise, his breathing was even.

Dottie put a wet cloth on his forehead and then put her fingers at his wrist, taking his pulse.

I swallowed into a tight, constricted throat as I stared at his unconscious form. The frown on Dottie's face told me he wasn't doing well.

Ciana went to the edge of the bed and took Warren's hand. Under any other circumstances, the worry in her eyes might have sparked jealousy in me, but now, I wished I could provide some type of comfort to him as well.

My gaze fell on my hands, which were inside a pair of gloves again. They were only capable of killing and destroy- ing. They would never provide comfort.

What a pair of fucking hideous hands! I hid them in my pockets so that I didn't need to see them.

"How is he?" Ciana asked Dottie, her voice pulling me from my thoughts.

"He's in bad shape," Dottie said somberly.

"How bad?"

"He won't wake up on his own. He will stay like this and get worse," Dottie explained, her eyes darkened as she went back to tending to Warren.

"Is there... What can we do for him?" Ciana's voice was trembling, taking the bad news in with great difficulty.
