Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 99: This Fucking Power

I stared at Warren as he held the knife to his throat. His words ached my heart.

“You shouldn’t think so low of yourself,” I softened my tune and wished he could see that I wasn’t trying to be his en-

I took a step toward him tentatively, ensuring that he wouldn’t do anything to harm himself immediately, and then moved close enough to get to his right hand which was holding the knife.

My hands gently wrapped around his and slowly moved it away from his neck.”You have a lot to live for. Also Warren, I’m not worth ending your life over.”

Warren’s face fell. He lowered his gaze and his hand loosened so the knife dropped on the hard floor, making a clanging sound.

I gave a brief sigh of relief.

Grief and sorrow could cause erratic behavior, but if he could just get past the worst of it, he would be able to find the meaning of life again and start to appreciate it.

“You still have people that care about you, Aurora, for example. Does she not matter to you? Even if right now it’s hard to see beyond the gloomy days, you have to live on for your sister and your mother. Let alone one day, you’ Il find your mate, too.”

Warren glared at the floor and shook his head. “You know nothing!”

“We’re leaving,” Theo urged.

I glanced at him and nodded my head.

Leaving was the right thing to do. If Warren was going to make good on his threat to end his life, he’d do it with or without me there, but I had faith in him that he wouldn’t.

I had faith that he was strong enough to pull through this, and that he just needed some time alone.

So leaving was the best choice before things got too escalated. However, Warren bounced up and charged toward Theo.

‘Enough, Warren!” Theo hissed.

“I’m going to avenge Maggie! I owe her that. I challenge you, Theodore Crimson, to a duel,” Warren declared, pointing at his own chest.

“l decline,” Theo said flatly, tugging me again toward the door.

“You cannot decline! You will disgrace the Moon Goddess and King Lycaon if you do. Do you think that is what Father will want to hear, a royal prince not accepting a duel?”

‘Il-don’t care what Father has to say and the Goddess will forgive me.”

I was relieved that Theo wasn’t going to fight him.

“Why, are you afraid?” Warren continued to provoke.

Theo shook his head. “Whatever you say.”

“Asshole!”

“Warren, calm down! Even if Theo accepts it, do you really think you could win?”
