Sold AS The alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 70 Trick The Trickster

I watched my clone get carried away from Warren after faking a broken ankle. The servants were so worried about her that I could tell that whoever she was, she was loved here.

Yet, looking around, I was standing in my own garden, afraid to show my face.

Warren walked back to where I stood, making sure that no one else was around in the garden.

“She’s gone?” I asked, looking into his eyes.

He nodded. “The resemblance is uncanny. You would never know she wasn’t you.”

I sighed, “Yes, I could tell that everyone in the pack believed that she was me, a better version of me.”

That hurt.

“Are you okay?” Warren placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.

“I…I…” words failed me at that moment. I couldn’t lie to myself. I wasn’t okay. All I could do was shake my head. “I don’t know! She was taking Raymond’s side and everyone would soon follow suit, but that’ll lead us to destruction!”

I continued to murmur, not sure whether I was telling him or talking to myself. “What if… no one believes me? They seemed to like her so much more.”

Although I knew I had to figure this out, because I was the only one who knew she was working with Raymond to lead our pack to destruction, it still didn’t change the fact that all of a sudden I got emotional.

Perhaps, it was due to everything that happened lately in the palace, perhaps it was because I missed my parents, or perhaps I was overly frustrated with the situation in the pack…. Whatever it was, all of a sudden, it got to me.

Tears brimmed into my eyes blurring my vision, I was barely able to hold them back.

“What am I supposed to do?”

“It’s okay.” Warren gently pulled me into his arms and held me to his chest. He knew I wasn’t really asking him that question, so he just gently patted my back. “It’s going to be fine. I promise.”

I allowed him to hold me because at this moment, I needed the support.

I was well aware that being upset at this moment was useless, but I wasn’t able to help it. “Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to be so… weak.”

“You’re not weak, Ciana. You just need a moment, and then you’ll figure it out. I have faith in you.”

The way his dark eyes locked on mine seemed to be silently passing strength into me.

“Thank you.” I was a bit embarrassed. “I don’t even have this kind of confidence in myself.”

“You’re Ciana, you’ll always find a way.”

His words and his bright smile warmed my heart. I looked at him feeling that much more hopeful. It was no wonder so many fell prey to his charm.

Then it hit me like a lightning bolt. Was it crazy? Maybe. Was it slightly dangerous? I think so. But it may work!

As I regained my composure, I pulled away and stared at him.

“I know that look.” He analyzed my face. “It’s your I-have- something-up-my-sleeve look.”

“Uh, yes, I did think of something,” I confessed, “But I’ll need your help.”

“Of course. I’m here for you. Ciana. You know that.”
