Sold AS The alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 105: Lean In A Little Closer

*Theo

“Wow, Prince Theo, I’d always known you’re good at fighting, I just never knew you were also so good at sneaking around!” Ciana commented as we dragged the third guard who I just knocked out into an empty room near my father’s suite.

“Wait a moment.” She uncapped a mini flask and placed it under each of the guards’ noses for a few seconds.

“What’s that?”

“Strong anesthetic. Dottie gave it to me. This will make sure they get a good sleep for at least four hours. Too bad it doesn’ t work on the Dark King’s descendants.”

It took me quite some effort to peel my gaze off her bright eyes. Now that the hallway was cleared, we quietly moved to the open entrance of my father’s suite.

The door was left ajar, I thought my mother did that intentionally, so Ciana and I could peek through the seam.

She was holding a plate with a small cake on it, a smile on her lips. There was a freshly opened bottle of wine on the desk in front of Father and two glasses filled with the deep, red liquid.

“What are you doing here?” my father asked sternly, a sneer on his lips.

“Have you forgotten that it is my birthday today?” she signed.

I clenched my fists. Ciana turned to me, her eyes wide, as if she was asking me whether I knew about this.

I gave her a nod.

“I have not forgotten,” my father replied. His sneer turned into a tense smile.

I could see that she was lowering his guard.

“But you’ve never come to spend your birthday with me,” he said, his lips curving down.

“In light of recent events, I’ve been… I’ve been thinking about how short life is and how much time I’ve wasted being selfish and cold,” she said. Her tone became somber and she looked down.

Ciana’s mouth formed a small “O”, and she gave my mother a thumbs-up, despite the fact that she would never know that. And I just kept watching.

“I made this cake for myself and realized I wanted to share it with someone. You are the only one that has been there for me since I came here. I thought that maybe… maybe you’d share this night with me,” Nita continued.

He leaned forward. Although he was still suspicious, it was obvious that he was much more relaxed.

He smirked. “I tried very hard to win you over. Nothing worked. How do you know I’m still interested?”

She bit her lower lip and approached him

Setting the cake on the desk, she slid into his lap. She looped one arm around his waist and reached for a glass of wine. She handed it to Sebastian and then picked up the second glass.

Clinking hers against his, she took a sip. “Would you rather I leave?”

Watching my mother lower herself to please my father made me angry. I didn’t want to watch her play into his hands, even if it was all an act.

She poured him another glass of wine. It was his third by now. She’d only taken little sips off her own.

When he tipped the glass up for another sip, I saw something fizzing at the bottom.

I realized that she came prepared. She was trying to get him drunk but it looked like she’d also slipped something into his glass, sleeping pills or powder. Something to quicken the process.

My father had his arm around her waist, holding her hips. tightly. She leaned against his chest and he was clearly pleased with how proactive she was.

As much as I didn’t like what I was seeing, her plan was working. I had to give her that.
