Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 128: Proof

I watched Ciana while she slept. Her breathing was even and her hair a little messy, but she looked absolutely stunning to me.

Knock. Knock.

Sighing, I reluctantly left Ciana in bed to answer the door before the knocking woke her up. She was sleeping so deeply and peacefully, I really didn’t want to disturb her.

“Sherry, what are you doing here this early?” I arched an eyebrow at her when I opened the door.

“Good morning to you too!” Sherry smirked slyly, looking me up and down. I was only wearing a pair of sports shorts. “I’m not interrupting anything am I?”

I crossed my arms. “Is this urgent? If not…” I was about to close the door.

“Wait, wait, Alpha!” She swept away her teasing expression and put on a professional smile. “Yes, it’s about Beta,” Sherry said.

“Jake? He should be able to handle the rebellions.” I frowned, “Is he alright? Did anything unexpected happen?”

If Jake somehow got hurt, that meant the rebels were a lot more difficult to handle and we thought

“Yes… well no…”

My heart sank a little, but before I said anything, Sherry went on, “He is okay, but he is losing it! He’s been crying himself to sleep every night without you,” Sherry said, giving me a dramatic gaze and burst into laughter.

I let out a sigh of relief. Alright, at least it wasn’t some bad war news. Then I reached out to close the door again. “Jake can handle himself.”

“Alpha, Alpha!” Sherry held the door so that I couldn’t close it. “I know you’re here for a little R and R, but he kept asking Greg when you will be back, and Greg kept bugging me about it…”

“Tell them to suck it up and deal with it on their own for right now.”

“Please get back out there on the battlefields to help him. Otherwise…’ She shrugged at me. “I might have to see my Beta throw in the towel and run home with his tail between his legs!”

I growled and shook my head. I very much doubted that Jake was crying or unable to handle the situation. But Sherry was right. I needed to focus on the rebellions and stabilizing the kingdom. I’d confirmed that Ciana and her pack were fine now, and that was the purpose of the trip.

“Alright, tell him I’ll be there by dawn tomorrow.” I sighed.

“You’re the best king and alpha ever,’ Sherry said. She winked at me playfully and spun around, leaving just as quickly as she’d shown up.

I headed back upstairs to lay down next to Ciana. She moaned and rolled toward me, blinking herself awake.

“Oh, good morning.” She smiled shyly. Her cheeks warmed to a rosy pink and I ran my thumb along the curve of her mouth.

“Good morning,” I whispered as I leaned in and kissed her forehead. She lit up with a brighter smile.
