Sold as the Alpha King's Breeder novel Chapter 379

Chapter 37: This is All Your Fault!

I stared at Theo, and he stared at me, and then, suddenly, I saw a look of understanding on his face, and the next moment, his face started to turn a slight hint of pink and the tips of his ears were red.

He sat up abruptly and grabbed a piece of clothing from the floor to cover himself below his waist and turned his face away from me.

“Oh, no… ” I murmured, and then asked the man next to me tentatively, “Your Highness…?”

“Yes?” He nodded, acknowledging how I addressed him. Obviously, just like me, he was his true self now.

Oh. My. Heavens.

What had we done?!

He avoided eye contact with me, cleared his throat, and asked in a husky voice, “What’s going on?”

My mouth opened and closed a few times, but I couldn’t make a sound.

What was going on? I wanted to know too! But, most importantly, how could he act so calmly as if nothing had happened?!

My hands covered my face and I was so… mortified, shocked, angry, confused, heartbroken and… embarrassed.

“How could you do this to me?!” I condemned loudly.

“Me?” he asked. “You were the one who wanted me!”

“You planned this whole thing from the beginning!” I retorted, tugging on the blanket to make sure it was completely covering my naked form.

“I know nothing about any of this,” he exclaimed, and I could tell by his face that he meant it. “And I warned you not to touch it.”

“Ahhhh!” I couldn’t help but pull my hair.

That was… that was my first time! How was I supposed to take this news? How was I supposed to accept everything that had just happened?!

“Ciana,” he called.

“Give me a minute!” I just wanted to cry.

“Ciana!” He raised his voice, and this time drew my attention to him. “Listen, this is a problem.”

“No! Maybe not!” I reasoned, though I wasn’t sure how it couldn’t be. “We are the only ones that know. We will just forget all about it!”

“As loudly as you moan? I doubt it,” he said in his usual, calm tone, which made me want to smack him. But then I remembered that he was a prince, at least in some world, so I kept my hands fisted around the blanket.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy it,” he added.

I paused and then my face was on fire. All right, I admitted it. The sex had been very good-not that I had anything at all to compare it to. But… how had I lost my virginity in such a crazy scenario where I didn’t even think I was myself?

Goddess, heavens, just kill me.

I buried my head under the blanket and demanded, “Do not mention it!”

He seemed to be entertained by my reaction. Through the blanket over my head, I heard his light chuckle, and then he said, “But that wasn’t what I was about to say.”

“What is it that you want to say then?”

“Listen, Ciana, this world wasn’t real.”

He got my attention. He was right. It really did all seem like a dream.

“What do you mean?” I uncovered my head from the blanket to look at him.

“Well, I’m not sure, but since you were the first one who touched the crystal, let me ask you this…. Why did you do that?”

“Why did I do what?”

I noticed that although his expression didn’t change, there was a hint of pink on his handsome face again. He cleared his throat. “Why did you… seduce me?”

“I d-” The words caught in my throat. I wanted to deny it, but I couldn’t. It actually was the case. I had been the one to make him have sex with me. In my mind, I had thought he was a servant who was going to help me get back at my lover, the king.

Where did all of this come from? It was as if… as if I was playing the role of someone else. The emotions I felt were so real and strong-love, betrayal, hatred, revenge, and pain.

The king chose someone else. How I wished that wasn’t true… how I wished that… the king would marry me and make me the Luna Queen.

It was as if the one and only purpose I was brought to this world was to fulfill that wish…

My eyes widened. That was it! That was how we were supposed to “cleanse” or “re-energize” the crystal!

“I think I figured out what we need to do,” I told him. “Well, we’d better get dressed before-”

But just then, my bedroom door opened, and a woman dressed in a servant’s outfit walked in.

Seeing her red hair, my face immediately lit up. I was temporarily distracted and happy that Brook was with me. But then she realized what was happening. “My lady! Your guard! He has taken advantage of you.”

“Excuse me?” Theo frowned, but by then, Brook was screaming for the guards to come in and take him away.

“Brook… Do you not remember who he is?” I asked my friend.

Brook glared at him angrily and answered, “Of course I do! And I thought he is the most loyal one among all guards!

Who knew he would commit such an outrageous crime to you, my lady….”

I realized that, unlike me and Theo, Brook might have truly forgotten who she really was except for her name.

Theo’s expression was darker. Without saying anything, he leaped over me and pulled his pants on while Brook rushed over and helped to put on my dress.

“I don’t quite get what you’re asking, my lady.” Brook asked.
