Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 109: Bewitching Theo’s Mind

Sophia stared at me for a long time while I felt as if I had a knot in my stomach that made me barely able to maintain my composure.

What if she said no? Then who could I turn to?

I really couldn’t imagine.

It felt like ages had passed before she finally let out a breath and said, “Tell me what to do.”

As expected, Xavier sent for the sacred artifact in Sophia’s pack and then came to look for her. Sophia volunteered to perform the secret ritual using the dagger which greatly pleased the king and his Beta.

Everything was ready and the ritual would be performed the next day. Even though, logically, I knew I should get some rest to have full energy to face what fate would bring, I just could not stop tossing and turning.

Perhaps I should head to the dungeon and give Theo a heads- up? No, no, that would be too risky. With the ritual tomorrow, the security would be tight and there would be no way of getting by unless I was authorized down there.

I had to wait.

As the sun’s early morning rays pierced into the room, I followed Sophia and got ready for the time to come.

“Ah, Miss Chambers, you looked to be fully prepared.” Xavier arrived a little past seven. “Are we ready?”

Sophia nodded. She wore an indigo long gown with round silver embroideries on it, symbolizing the full moon in the night sky. Three girls in white gowns followed her, me included.

Each of us wore a mask that was sent by Sophia’s pack and held an elegant tray with both of our hands. The three trays individually carried different necessities needed for the ritual -bandages, medicine, and the sacred Dagger of Mercy.

I lowered my gaze and focused on the tray in my hand, not wanting to make eye contact with anyone.

Xavier frowned, “I didn’t know you needed this many helpers. The fewer people involved, the better.”

Sophia shook her head. “I’m afraid it’s part of the ritual. I won’t be able to perform it on my own.”

“Fine. Follow me.”

I let out a quiet breath of relief and started walking with the group.

We walked down the stairway that led to the dungeon. My heart was pounding in my chest as we entered the space.

Jake was still tied up but the cell next to his was empty now. Theo had been splayed out on what looked to be some kind of concrete altar. His hands and feet were tied to the four posts at the four corners of the square slab, and there were some sort of herbs on the floor.

Wolfsbane, I assumed.

I could see the cuts and bruises all over his body, most of them were still raw and fresh. Those bastards must have given him something to slow down his healing process!

My throat tightened upon seeing him like that and tears almost rushed out. Thank the Goddess I was wearing the mask, otherwise, others might have noticed my reddened eyes.

The guards came and tightened the shackles around his limbs and Theo struggled against them, but it was no use.
