Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 133: Promise You'll Always Be There

*Ciana* “What is it?“ I asked.

“I can't have you on the battlefield. If you have to stay, then promise me to stay in the tent. I will have guards posted to keep you safe." “Then how is that any different from me going back to the palace?“

Theo cupped my face and kissed me again. "We have done things your way, but now can you meet me halfway for this one? Please, for me?"

I stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly pushed him away. "Theo, that's not fair! You can't... do that to me!"

He was confused, “Do what to you?"

My face was burning. "You... can't be so handsome and sexy when we are negotiating something serious. I can't think straight!"

He arched an eyebrow and smirked, “I take that as a compliment.“

I cleared my throat and took a couple of deep breaths. "I can't promise you, because I need to do something to help you on the battlefield." “Ciana, I appreciate it, but-' “Theo, let me finish, please. In the past few months, what have you been trying to do?" I asked him.

“Persuade the packs that I didn't want war and I'm different from Sebastian.' “And you did that by avoiding bloodshed," I added, 'you don't want unnecessary loss of lives, not just for our men, but also for Luther's army. Ultimately, they're your citizens as well. Am I right?"

His gaze deepened and he nodded.

“But once Luther launches the attack, you and I both know, it's almost impossible to avoid large-scale casualties. Even if we win, we would still lose hundreds if not thousands of lives."

He sighed, "I know.“ “What if I told you that I may have a plan to avoid that?“

He lifted his gaze to meet mine again, waiting patiently for me to explain.

"The only way to minimize casualties is to take down Luther as soon as possible. Luther had a little sister named Anna, she was his pride and joy. They were inseparable. However, he was forced to kill her by Sebastian."

Theo clenched his hands.

I let out a sigh. Even though Luther was our enemy, he didn't deserve to suffer like that.

I said a prayer for little Anna before I continued.

"Although it sounds heartless, the little girl Anna is going to be the breakthrough point for us. We need someone to dress like her and distract Luther. Then we'll have warriors around Luther, or even yourself, to deliver the final strike. Without a leader, the rebellion will dissolve quickly and we can end the war without too much bloodshed."

He paused for a moment and nodded. "That's a great idea. I’ll get it arranged." “Wait! Theo, I meant, I'm good at disguising, and I learned a lot from Greg and Sherry-"

But before I could finish my words, Theo took my lips and made me swallow the words I was about to say next.

I pushed against his chest and broke our kiss. "Theo, I can do th-" He obviously didn't want to hear me out, and stopped me again with his lips. The only sound I could make was ’em" and "urn."

Then I heard him grit his teeth, "Don't even think about it!’ “Theo stop, um...um...'
