Sold AS The alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 48 Theo’s Past I

My thoughts were fuzzy as I tried to keep track of what was happening all around me. A whoosh of wind flew around me, and I felt like I was both floating and falling at the same time.

With a thump, I hit the ground, my legs slamming into what felt like a stone floor. I lay there for a second, opening my eyes slightly. I had to figure out what to do next.

Well, if the mission had failed, and the crystal hadn’t been cleansed from the last user, then we would have to wait until the next real blood moon to plant the berry, and I would just have to find a way to make sure that I didn’t hurt anyone else until then.

If that meant I would have to seclude myself and stay away from everyone until that could happen, then that was exactly what I would do.

It wasn’t like I’d never done that or been alone before. I was quite used to either anyway.

Pushing up off of the floor, I turned around and sat down, the world still spinning slightly. At least my organs seemed to have settled back down. My heart was no longer hammering, my lungs could suck in a full breath of air, and my head was no longer pounding.

Something was still different, though. Something was off. The room I was in looked like my own bedroom, but I could tell there were minor differences that made it seem like per-

haps I hadn’t quite reached reality after all.

Glancing around, I saw that I was alone. The others were not there–Ciana, Jake, Brook, Warren, and Sophia. That made

no sense.

I got up and started for the door, but it was then that I heard maniacal laughter behind me and turned around to see Luther standing across the room. He hadn’t been there be- fore; I was sure of it.

“You’ve got a lot of nerve to show your face,” I sneered.

Luther walked toward me, his arms folded across his chest as he continued to chuckle. “Seriously?” he asked. “You still haven’t figured all of this out? You are the one who should be concerned.”

“Obviously, you and I see things differently.”

I didn’t have time to chat with him, so the sooner I’d taken care of him, the better. I was about to shift when I realized

that I couldn’t.

“Hahaha!” Luther laughed. “Prince Theo, why didn’t you show me your wolf? Is it because… you can’t?”

“What did you do?” I narrowed my eyes as I waited for him.

to answer me.

“You know that every pack has an artifact from the Moon Goddess, right?” he asked, a snarky smile on his face.

Of course, I knew that. Everyone knew that.

“Well, before you had your brute of a Beta go out and track down the Moonlit Crystal, maybe you should’ve done a
