Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 394

Chapter 52: Lady Nita

“Who would that be?” I asked.

When Jake responded, his answer totally shocked me. “Lady Nita, King Sebastian’s third wife, Prince Theo’s mother.”

“What?” I sank down onto the edge of the bed beside Theo, my mind trying to process what Jake had just said. “But… that’s his… mother.”

The Beta nodded, folding his arms across his chest. “That’ s right. She has always hated her own son and treated him. coldly since he was a little boy.”

I felt a cold shiver shoot down my spine.

It was so hard for me to understand how that was possi- ble. My own mother and I were so very close. She would’ve done anything for me and I adored her the same way in re- turn. Some of my happiest memories were from when my mother and I spent time together.

The lullaby I had been singing for Prince Theo just a few minutes ago was one that she had taught me and sung to me when I was a little girl.

Who could hate their own child?

Turning my attention back to Jake, I asked, “Why would someone want to see their own son suffer?”

“Their relationship is… complicated.”

I shifted on the bed to look at Theo. Perhaps that was one of the reasons why he was now so distant and cold.

He was frowning, seemingly suffering from something. Whatever dream he was in, it was definitely not a good one. And he was calling for her, his mother, earlier. I felt a dull ache in my heart. Could he be a different person had he had his mother’s love?

I still found it hard to believe. “I just don’t understand-”

Before Jake and I could continue our conversation, I heard a slight knock on the door of my chamber. I rushed to open it and saw a slightly disheveled Brook standing there with something in her hands.

“Brook? Are you okay?” I was worried. It was late, and nor- mally by this hour, the entire palace had quieted down. Polite as Brook was, she wouldn’t come to look for me unless it was something urgent.

“Yes, I’m okay,” she said quietly. “Oh, Beta Jake.”

Jake had come through the door that connected my room with Theo’s. “Oh, hi, Brook.”
