Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 482

Chapter 140: You’re Not Uncontrollable

*Theo*

Every time I tried to get close to Ciana, she pushed me away or avoided me completely. Since she yelled at me in the garden, it was harder to get close to her. I’d been keeping a close eye on her because I needed to know she was safe but she was making it difficult.

While standing nearby in the garden, I signed off on a new budget plan with Simon while Ciana was smelling flowers and talking to Brook. I knew better than to interrupt a girl’s afternoon.

I glanced over at Ciana and saw her describing something with big arm movements. A smile tugged at my lips.

I thought back to the beginning of our relationship when we first met. She’d worked hard to avoid me then, but fate kept throwing us together, like with Perceval and the Dreamberry.

If we were really destined to be together, fate would do its job again and bring us back together.

I was too impatient for fate!

Sighing, I handed the signed documents back to Simon and sent him on his way. I took a few steps toward Ciana and Brook but was interrupted again.

“Alpha, I have a report on the scroll translation,” Jake said, coming up to me from another direction. “I think you’ll want to see what we’ve come up with.”

I looked back at Ciana and Brook. They were giggling together and having a good time. I knew my guards would keep a close eye on them.

“Alright.”

As we walked through the palace, Jake caught me up on some of the new information.

“We haven’t come across any information about how to control your power, but the scroll does say your power is only activated through physical contact,” he explained.

“Hmm.” I acknowledged. That made sense. The first time I thought I’d killed Maggie, I never even touched her. I hadn’t felt her life force, either. She’d been able to trick me because I was so out of control, I thought I’d just hadn’t noticed what I was doing.

“That explains why Maggie only faked her death. What about you and Ciana at the pavilion? The two of you fainted. Why was that?”

“At the time, we assumed it was because of your power. With this new information, the Moonlit Crystal was also there. We don’t know everything it can do, only Luther understood its true power. It could have easily been the cause of us fainting,” Jake theorized.

“Hmm…” I pondered for a moment and thought of something that was far far away in my memory. Something that haunted me till this day. “There was still one more time that doesn’t make sense.”

I stopped walking and turned toward Jake. He met my gaze and I knew that both of our minds wandered to the same incident.

“Jake, be honest. Have you ever resented me for making you my Beta?” I asked in a heavy tone, looking at my most loyal friend and subordinate.

“Alpha, if it weren’t for you. I’d be dead.” Jake shook his head and chuckled dryly.

“I killed two of your people. You don’t hold that against me?”

It was a topic we both tried our best to avoid for years.

No one knew Jake was one of the innocent prisoners who shared the same cell with me when I was ten, along with twenty of his other pack mates. He was one of the kids.
