Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 106: We’re In This Together

Ciana whispered, “Do you think he can see us? How does he know we’re here?”

“Even if he does, he won’t say anything.”

“You sure?”

I nodded. I knew my nephew.

Alexander’s dad was my oldest brother Justin, he was executed a few years ago when Alexander was only one or two. I didn’t know how much he remembered his parents, but that didn’t traumatize him any less.

Knowing the king was upset about Justin, no one in this palace wanted to be acquainted with a traitor’s heir. Some even bullied the kid for fun-it probably made them feel superior while telling their drunk friends that they once picked on a prince and were able to get away with it.

Well, if they didn’t run into me. Those bastards got what they deserved and I made sure that they’d never set foot in the palace again. However, I knew that wasn’t the first time, nor would it be the last time. And I wouldn’t be there for Alexander all the time.

The best I could do was teach him some combat skills once in a while when I had my brief stay at the palace between my tasks and ask Jake to keep an eye out for him.

However, in this brutal royal palace, I was sure he didn’t have a fun and pleasant childhood.

“He’s just staring at the closet door. Oh, there he goes.”

“Alright, let’s get out of here,” I said.

I moved Ciana aside, as best as I could, and I opened the door. A wave of cold air rushed in and I breathed, feeling the cool relief through my entire body.

My mother opened the bedroom door and arched an eyebrow at us as we spilled out of the closet. “You can go in now.”

I turned to Ciana with my hand on the doorknob to my father’ s room. “Ciana, you stay.”

“Why?” She creased her brow at me. “I’m here to help too, Theo.”

I pulled her back toward the closet. “If something goes wrong, I don’t want us both to be on the hook. Stay here, out of sight. I’ll take care of this,” I assured. I brushed the back of my fingers along her cheek.

“No. I’m going with you. This is for Warren and We’re in this together,” she insisted.

I glanced over at my mother. Her gaze didn’t leave us, her chin high, her back straight and one hand gently placed on the other in front of her center belly-her posture might be poised and composed, but I knew she was losing her patience.

“We don’t have all night. I’m not sure how long the alcohol and sleeping pills will last,” my mother reminded us.

“Ciana, listen to me. First, we need someone to keep an eye out here. Second, if anything unexpected happens, I’ll need you to get help,” I reasoned with her.

“Alright,” Ciana sighed, “you convinced me.”

“Stay out of sight, okay?” I said, nodding toward the closet.
