Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 433

Chapter 91: Open Your Heart To Me

I watched as Tallis talked to Nelson about something. I watched the way his jaw locked in place and his eyes focused

on the piece of paper he was being shown.

Could it have been him? Could he have been the one I met so many years ago?

So many thoughts swirled in my mind at that moment. Tallis was Theo. But he could also potentially be the boy from the forest. That thought made my heart flutter.

Warren’s deep sigh drew me back out of my reverie.

He followed where my gaze had been. “You’re looking at

Tallis.”

“l wasn’t,” I tried to deny it. “l was just deep in thought. Tallis and I are just mere acquaintances.”

Acquaintances who had kissed on multiple occasions. But Warren didn’t need to know that.

Tallis and Nelson walked off somewhere and then Warren turned to me. From the look on his face, I knew that he wanted to say something, something that I wouldn’t like to hear at this moment.

He stepped toward me and I instinctively took a step back. It was unintentional but based on his expression, I knew what I did just now was hurtful to Warren.

He cleared his throat and bored his eyes into mine. “You know how I feel about you, Ciana, I made it clear months ago and my feelings have never wavered since that moment. You came into my life by pure chance. You were there in the palace for my brother but somehow I feel like you were sent there for me.”

He took a deep breath, stepped toward me, and grabbed my hands. “l have feelings for you, Ciana and they run deep.

I gulped

My heart hammered like crazy in my chest and my palms began to sweat. I didn’t want him to say the words. I didn’t want to hurt him. His heart was too pure and too good to break.

But I also couldn’t lie to him.

“You said you needed time. That you had to sort through your feelings and I have given you that time.” His hands squeezed mine. “Ciana Black, you are an extraordinary woman. Will you please do me the honor of being mine? I know we can be so good together. Just…say yes.”

Time stood still.

His eyes glistened against the light that hung above us. I could see the hope and fear in his eyes and it broke me. This was not what I had wanted.

I had thought that maybe if I waited long enough, his feel-

ings would fade, or he’d realize that what he was seeing in me was only friendship.

A while back, maybe there was also another part of me that thought one day I would be able to see more in him. But that day never came.

I could never see him as more than just Warren, a friend, to me.
