Sold As The Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 409
Chapter 67 To Marry Me
*Warren*
Ciana’s face said it all. She was clearly upset and shocked. I was also surprised to hear that. I heard
about Luther being a pain to deal with back at the pce, but I had no idea why he woulde all the
way out here to Alvar pack to cause trouble.
“What the!” Ciana muttered, under her breath as the train began to slow down to a stop at the station. “I
guess… Raymond’s n is working.”
“What n?” I had a little bit of information about what had happened when Ciana and Theo hade
out here, but I didn’t know all of the details.
Ciana was more thinking aloud than answering me from what I could tell. “Obviously, he found this girl
who looks like me and brought her in as a puppet. He probably convinced the pack elders and others
that he had the support of my family even though my parents aren’t here because he has that fake
version of me.”
“So he’s using a woman who looks a bit like you to trick everyone into thinking you are willing to make
an alliance with Luther’s pack?” I asked her.
She turned and looked at me. “She looks exactly like me, Warren. Exactly. Close enough to fool just
about anyone.”
“Wow,” I muttered. “Even your parents?”
“No, I don’t think so, but they’re not here, and I don’t have any other family. No, the only other person
besides my mom and dad who might be able to tell would be Susan, but she’s… dead.” Ciana’s eyes
widened slowly, and she began nodding.
“What is it?” I asked her.
“That’s why she had to die! Of course!” she gritted through her teeth as she turned and looked at me,
grasping onto my arm.
“What are you talking about?”
“Raymond knew because Susan and I were so close that she would see that this imposter isn’t me,
and she would say something. So… he killed her.” I saw a mixture of anger and sadness on her face at
this revtion.
We pulled into the train station, I grabbed her luggage as well as mine. “Let’s go. We’ll get all of this
sorted.”
“We?”
“Yes, we. I’ll go to my sister’s once we get your pack affairs straightened out.”
“But Pr… Warren. You really don’t need to. I can handle this myself.”
I sighed. I knew why she didn’t want me toe along.
Even though she didn’t say it aloud, she basically had rejected me. Being on the road going in the
same direction and keeping each other apanied is one thing, but she probably wouldn’t feel
comfortable if I decided to follow her around.
However, I really just wanted to help her and protect her. Not just as a man who wanted to help the
woman that he cared about, but also as a friend looking out for another friend.
I wasn’t looking for anything in return from her.
I simply just wanted to be there for her.
“Why don’t you let me go with you and help you?” I asked her as the train stopped and the people
around us began to gather up their belongings. In my experience, Ciana was good at helping people,
but she wasn’t the greatest at epting help from others.
“Because this is not your burden to bear,” she said. “My pack may not be safe at this moment. It seems
quite clear that he has been able to fool the pack into throwing their support behind him through these
devious means.”
“That’s exactly why you need to let me go with you, Ciana. By yourself, you won’t be able to get as
much done as you would if you allow me to stay for a day or two and help.” I thought it might take a bit
longer than that, but I needed to ease her into the idea.
She was still shaking her head, but I thought she might being around to the idea. Everyone else
was off of the train now, so I took her bags and led her out. I waited until we were off of the train and
could find a more secluded part of the station to speak.
It seemed like a lot of people were arriving at the vige for the ceremony. Maybe we’d gotten here just
in time.
Once we had a bit of privacy, I turned to Ciana. “If you were me and you knew your friend was going
into a dangerous situation, would you just turn around and leave me to handle the mess all by myself?”
She stared at me for a moment, and shook her head honestly.
I beamed at her, “See, then what makes you think I would leave you all alone when I’m already here?”
Finally, she sighed, and gave in. “In that case, Prince Warren, thank you so much!”
“”Great! Call me Warren, and it’s my pleasure! Now, do you have any thoughts on where to start?”
She pondered for a moment, and analyzed, “To enter the alliance, they would have to present my
pack’s artifact as the symbol of authority in ce of my parents. If I can get it… I’ll be able to persuade
the pack that I’m the real Ciana ck, and interrupt the ceremony.”
“Do you know where it’ll be?” I asked.
“I do, but most likely, Raymond has moved it.” I saw the wheels turning in her head before she
shrugged and said, “No, but I’m sure they will get it out for the alliance ceremony since that is such a
big deal.”
“What is your pack’s artifact?”
“It’s a feather from an arrow of the Moon Goddess,” Ciana exined to me. “It’s said to be a sacred
arrow she shot from her bow. It’s a symbol of power for our entire pack when the Alpha and the Luna
are absent.”
“Alright, well, then we need to get ourselves into the ceremony?” I ask her, half-thinking aloud.
“And I’ll find an opportunity to steal it during the event!” She pped her hands together. “Of course, if
we were able to locate it ahead of time, it would be even better.”
“All right. It should be easy enough for me to walk right into ‘your pack and announce that I am here,” I
said. “But I’m not sure what to do about you. If you show up there, they are likely to arrest you-or
worse.”
“That’s true. Alright. You go in, and I’ll stay back for a bit until I feel it’s safe to sneak into the vige.”
“But… if you do that, how will you know where to find me?”
Ciana winked at me with a grin this time. “Do you not think I know my pack well enough to be able to
find you, silly? They will most definitely give you the grand visitors’ suite at the pack house. But you
should say no.”
“I’m listening.”
“Instead, ask them to put you in the Alpha’s mansion.

Raymond won’t like it, but you’re a prestigious prince. You can tell him what to do. If you are at my
parents’ house, it will be easier for me to get to you, and it will be easier for us to find the feather.”
“Sounds like a n. Be careful. I don’t want you to get hurt while I’m in here rubbing elbows with the
fake pack leader.”
“I will,” she assured me, and then, still lugging her bags, Ciana turned to walk away. She got about four
steps before she paused and turned back to face me. “Thank you. You always seem to be there when I
need you.”
Her words made my heart warm. “I’ll always be there for you, Ciana,” I assured her.
It didn’t take me too long to get to the town. Finding the man in charge was pretty easy as well. The
moment that Raymond heard that I was there, he came all the way out to greet me.
“Prince Warren!” he eximed, shaking my hand. I felt dirty just touching him. “It’s an honor to meet
you, Your Highness. Please tell me, what is it that brings you here to our humble pack?”
“It’s nice to meet you as well. You’re… not the pack Alpha, though, are you?” I looked around. “Where
is Alpha ck?”
“Oh, he and his wife are away on business and have been for some time. They have trusted me with
the pack affair while they’re away. I’m doing my best to handle all of it, but it’s quite difficult. Luckily
though, I have full support from their daughter, Miss Ciana ck.” He gave me a confident nod.
I tried not to say anything sarcastic but only agreed with him by nodding adamantly as he spoke. “Do
you think that they will be back soon? I have an important matter that I’d like to discuss with the Alpha.”
“Sadly, no,” he said, looking down at the floor and shaking his head as if he were upset about the fact
that the cks were not in the vige. “If I am honest with you, Prince Warren, some of us are
beginning to get a bit worried about them.”
My eyebrows arched as I wondered what he might say next. “Why is that?”
“Well, no one has heard from them in quite some time. We continue to pray to the Moon Goddess that
all is well.” He was acting like he thought his Alpha and Luna were dead, and he was sad about it, but I
saw right through his act.
“That’s too bad,” I sighed. “Well, I need to speak to the Alpha eventually, but for now, I would like to see
Ciana, please.”
The man’s eyes almost bugged out of his head. “Ciana?” he asked. “Oh, I’m afraid she’s quite busy at
the moment.”
“Oh?” I smiled. “I think she would like to see me. After all, the two of us became quite close when she
was at the castle. While things didn’t work out between her and Theo, she and I have quite a bit in
common.”
“Is that so?” He was a bit astonished. “I wasn’t aware of that. Well, I’m afraid she’s not avable at the
moment. Perhapster in the day.”
I knew exactly what he was doing. He didn’t want me to see the imposter. He was trying to keep her
from me. He thought I might be able to tell the difference between the real Ciana and this one he’d
brought in.
He was right to be concerned.
“All right then,” I said politely. “I’d like to stay in the Alpha’s house then, if you don’t mind. Ciana had
invited me to stay at her house if I ever came to visit.”
“The Alpha’s house?” he questioned. “But we have a lovely room in the pack house.”
“No, no, I insist,” I told him. “I prefer quieter surroundings and more privacy.”
He nodded. “Well, you are the prince.”
“Good, and as soon as you have a chance, please let Ciana know I am here and will wait for her.” I
looked at the time, acting as if I was in such a hurry I needed to get out of there right away.
His eyes widened yet again as he asked me, “May I know what it is you intend to ask Miss Ciana?”
I didn’t hesitate to respond, “To marry me.”
