Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 107: I Was Their Only Hope

*Ciana*

My breath came out in low and shallow pants as I heard the protests from Nita and the roars from the king.

However, I couldn’t see anything from here until I saw Theo and Nita being escorted out of the room. When Theo walked past the closet, I thought I saw him shift his eyeballs very subtly.

Yet I understood what he wanted from me.

Stay safe.

I had hoped for this plan to go smoothly but I should have known someone like Sebastian wouldn’t be easy to trick.

It wasn’t like I didn’t consider bursting out of this closet and playing the hero, but that would’ve been flat-out stupid.

Theo had placed me here for a reason and I agreed with him on that. At this point, I was their only hope, and getting myself locked up with them really wouldn’t do us any good:

When I was sure everyone had left the king’s suite, I counted to 100 before slowly opening the closet door and peeking down the hallway.

Empty.

Perfect.

Keeping my steps as light as could be and sticking to the corners, I managed to get out without drawing any more unwanted attention.

Where would Jake be? I needed him. Now.

He would know what to do in times like this.

My legs took me back to Theo’s wing. Jake had to be waiting there. However, as I got close, I stopped when I heard someone jogging over from a distance. My first instinct was to hide, but then I recognized the footsteps.

“Brook?”

“Ciana! Thank the Goddess you’re here!”

A sense of foreboding rushed through me. “What happened?”

“They took him.” She cried. The tears streamed down her face and her cries got harder with each passing second. “They put him in chains and took him away.”

“Who, Brook? Who did they take?” I pulled out of her hold and grabbed her shoulders. “Jake?!”

“Yes!” she sniffed. “One moment he was at the library with me and the next these guards came barging into the door and put chains on him. They beat him into submission because he was trying to push me out of the way.”

My heart sank.

“I came here to seek help for Prince Theo because Jake is his Beta.” Brook probably noticed my face was as pale as ash. “Ciana, don’t look at me like that. You’re scaring me now…”

“They took everyone then.” I stared at her solemnly. “Brook, we’re in big trouble now,”

“Everyone?” She wiped away the last few stray tears.

I nodded. “Prince Theo and Lady Nita included.”

“No…” Brook covered her mouth with her hands.

We looked at each other worriedly, and we both saw panic in each other’s eyes.
