Chapter 108: What Do You Say?

Sebastian wasn't alone. His Beta Xavier was behind him.

Theo ignored Sebastian's question and kept his silence.

"Prince Theo, Your Majesty asked you a question! Did you not hear?"

Xavier's arrogant tone made me want to strike him down and punch him right in the face.

Jake obviously felt the same as me as he said, "Beta Xavier, who do you think you are to speak to His Highness like that!"

Xavier glared at Jake viciously and looked like he was about to explode. But Sebastian didn't seem to mind his son's silence. He ignored the tension between the two Betas and walked over to Theo's cell.

"How are we feeling?"

Theo didn't even lift his gaze, only kept his eyes on the ground.

"I know normal wounds won't kill you and I'm sure you're quite used to pain," Sebastian chuckled, "So hopefully, the wolfbane extract on the whips was able to help you remember something important..."

Wolfbane extract?! That freaking cursed bastard! What kind of father would seek joy in his son's suffering?

Sebastian took a pause and completed what he wanted to get across, "You should never go against the law."

Theo finally scoffed, "Law? What law?"

"I am the law, son. I am the king!" He spread his arms out wide. "And you are my gift from the Goddess herself. She knew I wanted all the land to obey me and she gave me you."

"Being related to you is my greatest curse."

"Curse? Ha ha ha!" Sebastian laughed hysterically, however, there were no happy vibes at all, "Theo, that's no curse! I gave you power! You should thank me for raising you, training you, and maximizing the blessing you received from the Goddess and King Lycaon! Do you understand how lucky you are?"

"I..." Theo took a few fast and shallow breaths before he could continue, "I wouldn't consider being raised as a monster and used as a tool as lucky."

"I was preparing you to be king! I had such high expectations. for you, but you disappointed me greatly. I even offered you many whores to bed or do whatever you want with them! But just like your pathetic brother, you wimped out. You couldn't even stick it in that little blonde haired one. What's her name again? Kiki? Crystal?"

"Ciana," Xavier finished off for the king. "Ciana Black. Your Majesty. The daughter of Alvar pack. A cute little slut."

Hearing my name from Xavier's disgusting mouth made me want to puke.

"Shut your filthy mouth!" Jake scolded Xavier. It was rare to hear Jake lift his volume.

"How dare you speak to me like that!" Xavier growled, his face turned burning red. He probably felt greatly offended, especially in front of Sebastian, but it was obvious that Jake had never cared about what Xavier had to say.

"He dares because he's my Beta. Do you have a problem with it?" Theo gave Xavier an icy glare which made the king's Betal swallow back what he was about to spill.

However, the cunning Beta then turned to Sebastian and complained to his master, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! All I wanted to do was to help but Prince Theo-"

"Enough!" Sebastian waved his hand, and thank the Goddess that Xavier's annoying voice stopped talking. "He is your prince and you're just a Beta, I don't want to hear any whinings about your disagreement with the crown prince, you will show respect!"
