Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 479

Chapter 137: A Ring in My Pocket

*Warren*

After Luther was dead, things settled down quickly. All of his former allies of Shadow vowed loyalty to King Theo and the battlefields were cleaned up so fast that it was almost like it never happened. Any concerns or doubts they’d had about Theo being like Sebastian were put to rest.

Minimal loss of lives. They did it. Theo and Ciana did it.

Forthose whose homes and packs were destroyed by Sebastian, Theo sent a lot of aid to their territories to help them rebuild their packs. They were also given the option of joining other packs if they felt there were no homes for them to return to.

Theo offered all the rebuilding and relocation assistance he could.

A lot of the ex-Shadow members, aka victims of Sebastian’s deeds over the years, had to re-find their place in the world.

Just like me.

We’d held Maggie’s funeral in the royal cemetery a couple of weeks ago. Theo had insisted, even though she wasn’t blood related to the crown. I was grateful for the effort he put in, holding a grand funeral ceremony, worthy of a princess.

It had been a gray, solemn day, though, and my heart still ached with her absence.

I’d wanted to help Theo with the funeral arrangements, but he’d insisted on doing it all. so that I could have some time to mourn.

“Warren, leave this to me. This is the least I could do for Maggie. Also, it helps to take my mind off Ciana as well,’’ he told me. He’d run himself ragged and there were a few days where I thought he might actually reach his breaking point with how much he had going on.

Standing before Maggie’s grave, I leaned down to place a fresh rose on her gravestone.

“I miss you every day. I don’t think that will ever go away,” I muttered. I traced the letters of her name with the rose petals.

Theo had planted white flowers on the grave mound and they were just starting to bloom. I thought it was a very thoughtful gesture toward her.

“We have a lot of work to do to make the kingdom safe and stable again. It is work we wouldn’t even be able to do without your sacrifice, so, thank you,” I said. Sighing, I let the rose rest across her name. “I know I’ve been coming by every day, but things are going to get pretty busy now. I might not be by as often. Hopefully, you don’t resent me forthat.”

I smiled and pressed my fingers to my lips, then placed them on the cold, gray stone. A last parting kiss for my beloved twin sister.

“At least, where you are, you can watch over me and Theo. Don’t be afraid to tell us when we are acting like idiots,” I said. I chuckled to myself.

“Prince Warren?” Someone called to me from across the cemetery.

Sighing heavily, I let my head fall back on my shoulders. I wasn’t even a prince anymore. Why did they keep calling me that?

I turned to see Beta Jake striding toward me. He looked very professional, all business.

“Prince Warren, the head of Internal Affairs, Alistair, has a meeting with you in ten minutes. There is also a budget waiting for your approval. Simon, the head of Treasury, would also like to go over how they plan to use that fund to rebuild the packs,” he explained.

“You know I’m not a prince anymore, right? I’m just a regular citizen. You can call me Warren,” I reminded him as we walked back to the palace.
