Sold AS The alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 64 See You At Midnight

*Theo*

I sat in my office, looking at a tall stack of files. As frustrating as it was to go through the backlog of the documents, at least I could take a break from my father’s Beta checking on me twice a day on the status of producing an heir, since he had assigned Warren with the same task.

However, I made very little progress on the mountain of files. Despite my best efforts, my mind had been somewhere else and I really needed to get it to focus back on the work in front of me.

I was just able to start reading a page when I heard a knock on my door.

“Yeah?” I called.

Jake stuck his head in the door. “Alpha, can I come in?”

I gestured for him to come in. “What’s up?”

“I’ll make it quick. I have a message for you.” Jake obviously had noticed the pile of files, and the look on his face told me he felt bad interrupting me.

The reality was, he didn’t. My productivity was basically none at this moment, but it had nothing to do with him.

He had a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

“What’s that?” I asked him.

“Someone wanted me to tell you that she’ll be waiting for you at the pavilion tonight at midnight, if you would like to see her again… away from all of the other pressures of the world.”

I took a deep breath and thought about how to respond. Obviously, he meant Ciana. I didn’t even feel the need to ask.

“Alpha?”

“I heard you.” That was all I had to say about it.

“Uhm… you do know that I mean Ciana Black, right?” he asked me.

I sighed. “Yeah, Jake. How stupid do you think I am?”

He grinned, and I dared him to answer that question with a harsh look. “Well, are you going to go?”

“No,” I said, trying to make sure that he couldn’t see my inner turmoil.

“Well, I think you should.” He looked me in the eye.

I nodded. “Got it. Bye.”
