Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 151: Will You Kiss Me Again?

*Ciana*

It was a long dream.

Fire. Smoke. Howls of desperation.

It was a battlefield.

They said he was the ruthless Alpha of all, a cold-hearted monster who only knew how to destroy, and the thousands of bodies under me were the proof.

They told me that only eternal darkness was left in him, and I wouldn't sense hope in the air.

And there he was, standing on top of the pile of corpses, coated in blood.

His body was as still as a statue; his face was emotionless, almost no different than those of the dead on the ground below him.

Then he saw me.

I watched light gather in his dark eyes and life seemed to return to him. Slowly, his lips parted into a stunning smile that outshined the starry night sky.

He reached out his hand. 'Come to me,' he whispered.

My legs moved toward him as if they had a will of their own.

Even though they told me that every step I took was one step closer to my own eternal death.

'But they were lying to you!" a crisp child's voice said.

As I walked toward him, I suddenly noticed that I wasn't alone. There was a tiny little girl holding my hand. She had my hair, but a pair of beautiful sparkling dark eyes.

Her cheeks were round and rosy, a wide smile on her face. She wore a little yellow sundress and matching jelly sandals. Her hair was tied up in pigtails with little butterfly barrettes.

Light and warmth radiated off of her like she was a little sun, dispelling the gloominess around me.

I took her hand, and we walked to the man ahead of us.

He was waiting there patiently, watching us. With every step we took to get closer to him, the smile on his face grew bigger.

Without hesitation, I placed my hand in his, feeling my life leaving my body in exchange for the precious memories of our past.

Yes, I remembered who he was.

The Dark King Theo.

My love.

Then I heard the little angel next to me say, "Mommy, let's go home."

I leaned against the windowsill and looked out at the palace as it stretched out around me. With a bourbon glass in one hand, I swirled the amber liquid around, hearing the ice cubes clinking against the glass.

Taking a sip, I looked at the broken lapel pin that I clung to in my other hand. The person who gave it to me meant more than anything else in the world. But it was broken. It broke from saving my life.
