Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 111: I Won

Ciana gasped and her knees buckled.

I couldn't even bring myself to look at the two and only important women in front of me.

It was as if the world was laughing at my arrogance. I thought

I could win this, but look, what I had done?

Why did the Goddess punish me like this?

Roaring, I ripped my hands away from Ciana and Nita.

Wait, was I already disconnected from them? What the-

"Theo, she's still alive. What are you waiting for? Fight!" Ciana' s urgent voice echoed loudly in the air. I

must have gone full- on insane to have this hallucination!

"Theo! Focus!" Ciana's voice shouted again.

As soon as I was dragged back to reality, I felt nudged by a group of... heads.

It was Samson, Linus, and Perceval coming to my aid, and when I looked up, there was Ciana. A lively,

energetic Ciana.

She didn't faint nor was she hurt. She was still intact.

She collapsed on the ground only because she went to check on my mother, who lay still beside her.

Ciana checked her pulse and glared at me. She pointed behind me.

"Prince Theo, if Your Highness delays one more second, then all of us will really be dead. Linus bite

them!" She pointed at the guards and my lion lunged forward, then she turned to the tiger, "Samson,

you come to carry Lady Nite. She is not food, okay?"

I shifted and joined the fight while thousands of thoughts muddled my mind.

How was this even possible? Somehow, Ciana was able to stop me from draining my mother, and

herself....She didn't look weak or sick at all.

She'd touched my hands, willingly, and nothing had happened to her.

Goddess, if I had died right at this second, I would've been at peace. However, life just gave me a

touch of hope, and I was ready to fight to end this once and for all!

"What's this!? You were able to stop yourself?" Sebastian snarled behind me.

I glanced over at him. How could I forget he was there in all the craziness?

Sebastian grabbed the neck of the guard nearest to him and started sucking the life out of him until the

guard groaned and passed out. He moved on to the next, and the next, getting more and more strength

from them.

When his loyal guards realized what he was doing, they started backing away. Knees wobbling, they

were petrified of

what the king would do to them as they backed away slowly, hoping they'd get far enough before the

king set his sights on them.

This wasn't about them. I knew that. Sebastian was powering up to face me.

I looked back at Ciana. She was working to get my mother on Samson's back. Our eyes locked for a

moment. She cleared her throat and arched an eyebrow at me.

"Come on, Prince! Don't just stare at me, do something. Your father is going to cause a lot more

damage if you don't stop him!" she said, shaking her head at me.

Was Ciana immune to my ability? Was that even possible?

For now, it didn't matter how the miracle happened. I turn my attention back to my father. I'd promised

myself he wasn't getting away this time, especially since I had more strength now.

Taking in a deep breath, I turned and lunged at Sebastian.

He snarled and blocked my incoming attack, grabbing my wrists and keeping my arms bound.

I smirked and thrust my knee into his stomach.

He groaned and staggered back. He caught himself on a nearby guard, clutched him, and sucked until

the guard fainted.

I stalked toward him and could see that he was already feeling frantic.

Now, all I needed to do was finish him. He was too dangerous to let out of here alive.

Suddenly, Sebastian launched himself at me. Growling, he thrust his fists into my chest.

Gasping, I slid back on the ground. I grabbed his wrists and twisted them until they cracked. Sebastian

roared in pain. He recovered quickly though. I threw a punch at him but he blocked it and delivered a

quick jab to my side.

I winced, but it gave me the chance to tackle him around the waist and throw him down on the ground.

"You can't beat me, Theo. You don't have what it takes," Sebastian taunted as I pinned him down.

I punched him in the face. He roared and twisted until he threw me off of him.

"And what does it take?" I snarled. I jumped up and kicked him in the side, keeping him down on the

ground.

"I can keep going back for more, getting stronger, regaining my strength," he laughed, then curled on

his side and coughed up blood.

"Funny, because from where I'm standing, you don't look too good," I snarled, kicking him again in the

side.

Sebastian rolled away, avoiding the kick this time. He jumped up and we met head-on. I grabbed his

shoulders and pushed him back, avoiding a kick when he went for my leg. I used my body, and his

pinned foot, to keep him back.

Sebastian groaned in pain and pushed at my back, trying to get me to release him.

"Think you'll still be able to use your hands to suck out people' s lives when I break them off?" I asked

with a snarl.

"No!" Sebastian roared. He pulled away from me and kicked me in the back. I pitched forward, catching

myself on my hands and springing to my feet again.

Sebastian had run off toward a large group of guards approaching with Xavier.

"Your Majesty, what can I do to help?" Xavier asked, bowing to my father.

"Move!" Sebastian barked. He shoved Xavier aside and grabbed the first guard. Immediately, the guard

dropped to the ground and passed out.

Laughing wildly, my father grabbed another guard and another.

Most of them were frozen in terror, watching their comrades fall to the ground, rigid and unconscious.

The few that had their wits about them ran.

"Anyone who runs will be hunted down and killed for treason!" Sebastian shouted, his eyes flicking

around like crazy.

He looked like a complete madman, grabbing anyone he could, laughing and cackling. After a short

pause, he rolled his wrists and I could see that he was completely healed.

I approached him again, ready to finish this fight.

Sebastian snarled at me. eyes darting around the field of downed guards. "Xavier, get over here, I need

you!"

I saw Xavier's smile fade as his eyes swept around at the guards he'd brought to help. None of them

were left. They'd either run off in fear or fallen to my father.

Sebastian licked his lips and rubbed his hands together. There was no mistaking what he wanted

Xavier for.

"Get over here right now, you wretch!" the freak demanded.

"Um... I think I should go and get more reinforcements," Xavier said, his voice shaking. He took one

step back and my father lost it.

Spitting and snarling, Sebastian leapt at Xavier. Midair, he shifted into a wolf. He collided with Xavier,

pinning him to the ground, and bit down hard on Xavier's side.

"Ahhhh!" Xavier let out a shriek of pain as Sebastian's teeth sank into him.

Xavier shouted and screamed, writhing in pain. Blood spurted from his side. He groaned and another

stream of blood dribbled from his mouth.

Through his shrieking and screaming, I saw a smear of blood on Sebastian's fur. It wasn't Xavier's

blood, it was too far from my dad's teeth.

"Prince Theo, Your Highness! Help! " Xavier cried. "Please!"

Sebastian shook him and his arms flailed. I saw the bloody blade of a knife in Xavier's hand. He'd

somehow pulled a knife and stabbed Sebastian. My father was weakened and unable to focus. It was

time for me to make my move.

I shifted and lunged at Sebastian. Crashing into his side, he yelped and released Xavier. I pinned him

down on his side. I thrust my front paws against the stab wound and Sebastian groaned.

Leaning down, I clamped my jaws around his throat and I snapped my powerful jaws closed.

Sebastian howled and whined. He struggled against me but as hot blood spurted from his neck, he

weakened quickly. I held him still. He twisted and writhed, but I was far too strong against him now.

I wasn't going to risk him having some final escape attempt. I was going to hold onto him until I was

sure he was dead.

While I held Sebastian down, feeling the life fade from him, Jake ran in, rounding up the royal guards

that had tried to run off.

"Anyone that doesn't want to share the same fate as these unconscious mongrels, lower your weapons

and bow down to Prince Theo," Jake ordered.

I heard weapons clattering to the ground and glanced around to see the guards dropping to their

knees. Whether it was fear of me or fear of my father that made them comply, I wasn't sure. It didn't

matter.

All that mattered was that Sebastian was no longer a threat.

When I felt Sebastian's last, gasping breath, I released him and shook my head. I turned back to Xavier

and he immediately stopped whining about his wound and dropped to the ground on his hands and

knees in front of me.

"Please, Prince Theo, spare me. I... I've been injured enough. I can still be of use to you," he begged.

Blood still gushed from his side where my father had bitten him. I rolled my eyes toward Jake, and he

shrugged.

Sighing, I walked over to look down at Xavier. The shadow of my wolf covered him completely. He was

getting pale and I didn't think he'd live much longer. For a moment, I considered letting him join my

father in death.

He was my father's loyal servant.

'Get him to a healer,' I grumbled through the mind link, tossing my head back.

"Are you sure you want to spare him, Alpha?" Jake asked.

"Oh, Your Highn... no, Your Majesty, thank you. Thank you so much," Xavier gushed as two guards

came over and hauled him off, obeying me instantly.

A huge weight crushed down on me, like a ton of bricks. All the pain from my torture and starvation

came rushing back. The fight with Sebastian had sapped all the energy I'd gained from Nita, and I was

back to the pain and exhaustion from before.

I won!

Sebastian was dead.

Ciana and Nita were alive.

I couldn't ask for more. My legs trembled and buckled and I crashed to the ground. My wolf form melted

away quickly and was just me again.

"Alpha!" Jake ran over and covered me with a cape.

"Theo, are you okay?" Ciana's sweet voice said nearby.

I looked around until I saw her and I reached a weak, trembling arm to her.

"Ciana... you're... you're all right," I gasped, sighing as my eyelids drooped. I had to fight to keep them

open.

"I'm fine. Not even a scratch on me. Don't worry, okay?” she asked. She even held her arms out to

show me she was unharmed.

"Th-thank the goddess," I whispered.

My eyes closed in exhaustion, and I felt a single, hot teardrop streak down my cheek... Then I allowed

the sweet darkness to take me.
