Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 103: Claiming Ciana

*Theo•

I took a deep breath outSide my father’s door.

This was a long shot, to say the least. The man didn’t have a single sympathetic bone in his body. The likelihood of him helping Warren was slim to none but I had to try.

His life was on the line. I’d done what was irreparable to Maggie, but for Warren, at least, there was still a chance.

Bitterness and guilt wormed their way into my chest and refused to let go. Words could not describe how sorry I was, but sorry couldn’t make anything better. As long as I was breathing, I wouldn’t give up on Warren.

It was a promise I made to Ciana and myself.

I raised my fist to the door and knocked.

“Come in.” My father’s muffled oice came from behind the door.

His suite was mainly decorated with simple and warm colors, such as light gold and clean cream. It looked dignified and classy like most of the other rooms in this palace. However, the bright room couldn’t lessen he callous and vicious vibe of its owner.

“Theo, you rarely come here. I’m hoping you’re here to bring me good news, not trouble.” He didn’t lift his head from his document, nor did he seem interested in what I was about to say.

“l need your help.”

“Oh, my help you say? Interesting.” He finally put down the documents he was reading and took a sip of the half-drunken amber liquor from a cup on his Jesk.

“Tell me, what exactly do you need help with?”

“Warren is dying.”

Not even a single twitch. That fucking psycho remained completely passive.

He took the horrible news about his second oldest son no differently than a report about upcoming inclement weather.

“Okay. If he is sick, Dottie is a better person to talk to.” He lowered his head and was about to pick up his paper again.

A rush of anger boiled inside of me, but it wasn’t the time to unleash my fury. I took a deep breath, “No, she can’t help. No healers can. Warren was injured.. by me.”

“Oh? And how exactly did he end up in this uh…unfortunate predicament.”

I balled my fists at the side of my body. “l touched him by accident. I drained the life out of him.”

“Then he should be dead by now. Your touch is lethal.”

“He isn’t dead, but he isn’t awake either. That’s why I’m here.” He stared at me and silence gre between us.

It was no secret I loathed him. He knew that but he didn’t care. Why would he care about what a tool felt about its master? However, I would hope that after all the blood I had spilled for him, he would do this one thing for me as a courtesy.

“No. I’m afraid I can’t help.”
