Sold as the Alpha King's Breeder novel Chapter 422

Chapter 80: Theo Saves The Day

After Luther left, I rested on the bed. The mattress was soft and plush and made staying awake hard.

With all that had gone on in my pack and now this with Luther, my body was spent. Sleep found me long before I could even fight it.

The next time I opened my eyes it was to the sound of light knocking. I groaned and sat up in bed. It took my mind a moment to remember where I was.

The door to my room unlocked and in walked a middle aged woman dressed in a maid's uniform.

“Good morning, Miss Ciana.” She bowed her head and walked in with a trolly with an assortment of different foods. "Alpha Luther sent me with your breakfast. I will be bringing your clothes shortly."

She pushed the trolly to my bed where I caught a whiff of the food. It smelled heavenly and my stomach responded by grumbling.

"The chef prepared eggs Benedict. Will this suffice for you?”

I nodded looking at the food. As far as prison food went, this wasn't half bad- honestly, way better than when I was in Theo' s dungeon. If I hadn't been so hungry I would have denied the tasty breakfast but I needed my strength.

The thought of Theo sometimes made me question my own judgment. There definitely had been times I wished I could strangle the Dark Prince, yet, in a situation like this, he was the only one I'd trust without any reservation.

After we'd been through so much together, I wondered whether he trusted me as much as I did him?

"My name is Magnolia and I will be your aid." She smiled and bowed to me before leaving the room.

I pulled the sheets off my body and walked to the trolly.

The food was delicious, I had to admit. Getting myself replenished with energy was a wise choice in a situation like this.

I wondered what Tallis, or should I say Theo, had been up to? Did he know where Luther took me? Was he with me in this place? If so, where would he be?

It had been more than 12 hours since I'd arrived and I hadn't gotten any news from him. Should I be worried that he somehow didn't make it? After all, the Dark Prince was very busy. Or what if... he got into trouble?

I shook that thought off. No, he was the most fearsome person in the world. Anyone could get in trouble with him, but probably not the other way around. However, whatever his situation was, if I didn't hear from him for another day, I would plan to escape on my own. I didn't want to be here longer than

I had to.

Just then, the door opened again. Speaking of the devil.

However, to my disappointment, it wasn't Theo.

Magnolia returned to the room with a movable rack of gowns along with other things. >

"Miss, I'm glad that you seem to have enjoyed your food." Magnolia was happy to see my empty plates. Behind her, a young girl took my plate away and cleaned up the room.

"Yes, it's delicious. Thank you. Would you be able to take me to the kitchen so that I can say thank you to the chef?" I needed to do my best to familiarize myself with the layout of this place. Sitting there and waiting for others to come to rescue me was not my way of handling life.

Magnolia nodded to me. "Of course, Miss, but we need to prepare for the event first."

"Now? It's not until tomorrow evening."

Magnolia looked me up and down. I felt like she was judging me even though she didn't make any comments. And then she said with a polite smile. "We have a lot of work to do. Not only do we need to get this fitted to your body but I'm afraid that we'll have to give you a good scrub."

"I don't need to be 'scrubbed'. I am perfectly capable of bathing myself."

She maintained her emotionless smile and kept the same even tone. "It's about grooming, Miss. This event is very important to Alpha and he needs you to be at your very best. We need to do a full beauty treatment on you today and that could take hours. Tomorrow, we can just focus on styling."

"Hours?!" I exclaimed. "I agreed to go to the party, but I didn't agree to any of this! Please tell Luther that-"

"Alpha Luther. You cannot call him without his title. You are not of the same rank as him."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine. Alpha Luther is out of his mind if he thinks I'm going to sit for hours while my body is pruned and pricked two days in a row. I am not some breeding horse that is being put on display."

"Alpha didn't mean anything bad, Miss," she said, "There are women here who would scream for being treated special by Alpha. You're a lucky lady to be favored by him. Look at all those dresses and jewelry he prepared for you."

"I'm his guest, not part of his harem."

Magnolia closed her eyes and let out a steady breath. "Miss Ciana, please allow me to perform my job, and if you refuse, it will not be you who is in trouble but me. My children depend on me in order to survive. So please do me a favor and cooperate."

I was heavily against all of this. I was not some little doll that Luther could play dress up with. But at the same time I knew I needed to play a part. For my pack, for Theo, and... I probably wouldn't want to be the cause of her starving children.

"Alright. But no dying or bleaching my hair. And no tweezing."

"It's fine. We just need to wax."

"Wait, what?"

"Just kidding," she quipped. "Now, let's get this started."

After two hours of being scrubbed down in the shower and then being forced to sit in a milk bath I was out of the water and being dabbed dry. I had insisted that I could do it on my own but the woman was persistent. She wouldn't let me lift a single finger.

Then I was forced to lay down when she gave me a facial and applied other products all over my body.

The process was tedious and boring, and I couldn't imagine anyone who would voluntarily sit through the process. The only useful information I got from Magnolia was that they called Luther Alpha, but in reality, they were all from different packs originally, and now they gathered under Luther, and called their group "Shadow".
