Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 104: An Unexpected Help

*Ciana•

The bathroom was locked from the inside. The shower ran full force, and cool mist came from under the door.

I took a few deep breaths to cool my mind down, but it wasn’t easy. What happened just now played in my head over and over, sending waves of heat through my body.

What was I thinking? Séducing a royal prince while he was drugged? What was wrong with me?

I covered my •ed.

Ever since our kiss at Warren’s summer home, we barely touched that topic. I felt I’d done enough to show him how I felt about him, and I thought he•cared about me. But even to this day, he’d never told me how he felt about me.

Thinking about what just occurred, my heart swelled with both bitterness and sweetness, and I just didn’t know which one I felt more.

I couldn’t bring myself to see hi suffer, and I was willing to do whatever I could to provide him relief. Yet, he’d rather bear his painful desire than be with me.

On the other hand, I felt respected and somewhat relieved that he chose not to take my vir inity simply to fulfill his

physical need.

I went to Theo’s bed and sat on the end of it, waiting for him to reemerge.

I had no idea how to face him again or what I should say when he came out, but I just couldn’t allow myself to leave without at least talking to him again—whatever the topic was.

In addition, I did recall why I was here in the first place.

He hadn’t told me anything about whether or not his father was going to help with Warren. I wasn’t going to leave until I knew the verdict.

Theo took a long, long time in the bathroom. Even after the shower stopped running, he didn’t come out right away.

I sat on my hands and waited patiently. Hopefully, he wasn’t expecting me to leave.

It took a while, but finally, he came out of his bathroom with a black towel wrapped around his waist. He looked exhausted, but it didn’t stop my eyes from traveling down his bare chest and solid abs, causing my face to heat up again.

He paused when he saw me. Ou gazes locked and I could tell his dark eyes were back to their usual calm and collected state.

Without saying a word, he moved past me and went straight to his walk-in closet. When he came out again, he was fully dressed.

“So…” I started.

“So…” he said the same word at the same time as me. Then he cleared his throat and gestured for me to go first.

“So… did the king agree to help Warren?” I asked, jumping to the safer and most important topic.
