Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 466

Chapter 124: We’ll Meet Again

Warren held my arm firmly and beckoned to Greg. He ducked down behind some bushes and pulled me with him as we waited for Greg to join us.

"Prince Warren? What are you doing here?* Greg growled.

“Saving you two."

“Shh!" I hushed them as guards raced by our hiding place.

Greg and Warren glared at each other. Of course, Theo would have told Greg about Warren running off, and possibly even about attacking me. He would be wary of Warren.

However, as soon as I saw Warren, I knew I could trust him, although I was still upset with him.

"Come on, we can slip out of the camp this way," Warren motioned to us, tugging on my arm and pulling me away from where the guards had run.

I stayed low and quiet between Warren and Greg until we were well outside of the camp. When I couldn't hear the guards anymore, I stood up and pulled my arm from Warren's grasp.

"Warren, fancy seeing you here!" I hissed, still speaking in a low voice.

"First, I want to apologize for attacking you, Ciana. It wasn't my intention to hurt you... I had just learned something about myself and it was confusing. I'm not saying that's an excuse... It just is what it is," he said sincerely. His eyes deepened and I could see the complicated emotions flickering on his face.

"I'm fine." I softened my tone. “You didn't hurt me or anything."

I wasn't sure if I was ready to fully forgive Warren, but he was making an effort to apologize. "Can you... can you tell me what was going on?"

Warren sighed and nodded.

"We have to keep moving," Greg warned. *We‘re too easy to find this close to the camp."

The three of us started walking through the woods again, careful not to step on sticks and draw attention to ourselves.

"I can't abandon my sister," Warren said. 'She's my only family. I'm sure you know that by now."

It wasn't an answer to my question, but it explained his current thought process. I could relate to his desire to be loyal to his family.

He looked away from me. When he turned back, his lips curved into a bitter smile.

"All my life feels like a big joke, and I’m the punchline. What I thought my life was, who I thought I was, none of it was ever really mine."

I could hear the pain and confusion in Warren’s voice.

"I don't even know who I am anymore. I don't know who to believe or trust and I don't know who or what I am supposed to be," Warren sighed and shook his head. "The only thing I know about myself now is that I'm not a prince. Theo isn't my brother, either. All my past discontent and jealousy... they mean nothing. It was all a joke.*
