Sold AS The alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 30 Who Am I to Wed?

It had been two days. Theo didn’t say much of anything else to me, and neither did I to him.

We spent a lot of time in the library or the parlor, me looking for information and him… sulking. At least, that’s what it looked like to me. Maybe he was using the mind-link to communicate with leaders of nearby packs or had set up some sort of a network to relay information back to the castle. I honestly had no idea. All I knew for certain was that he wasn’t speaking to me.

I did my best to look around the pack house, trying to find information about what was going on with Raymond or figure out how to contact my parents, but both efforts

were futile.

All I knew for certain was that Raymond wanted to take control of the pack, and in my father’s absence, he was acting like he was the Alpha.

It was dangerous, and I had to find a way to put a stop to it,

sooner rather than later.

I wanted to discuss the situation with Theo, but I was still

mad at him and didn’t want to be the one to beg.

To my surprise, he hadn’t left. I thought he would after our argument, but instead, he had followed me around.

“Why did you follow me that day?” I asked him once.

“I ran into you,” he corrected me. “I told you I would investigate, and you happened to be there.”

I almost wanted to roll my eyes, but I didn’t. Because, deep down, I knew he had just come to check on me, to make

sure I was safe, which made me feel that maybe he did care

about me.

I guessed my blood must be just so important to him that

he couldn’t bear to leave without it.

We were in the parlor of the pack house, and I was looking through an old journal I’d found that appeared to belong to an Alpha of the pack from before my father took over. It was mostly about crops and taxes and other boring things, but I was determined to read all the way through it for any

clue as to what might be going on in our pack.

A maid came in and announced, “Miss Ciana, Beta Raymond is here to see you.” She curtsied and then turned

and left.

I stared after her, wondering why she didn’t wait for me to say I’d see him, but he was there an instant later, walking in

like he owned the place.

“Aw, there you are!” He swept into the room wearing a nice suit, his hair slicked back, like he was on his way to a business meeting. “It’s lovely to see you!”

I stood, my forehead still puckered at his unexpected appearance. “Good afternoon, Raymond.”
