Chapter 115: Two Secrets

"Your Highness, you should eat something," Sophia said. as she set the tray down on my bedside table. "How else do you expect to get your strength back? Your wolf also needs nourishment."

I looked at the breakfast the chefs had prepared. It was all my favorites, yet I still didn't have the stomach for it.

"Thank you," I sighed, "But I'm not hungry."

"If you don't like this, I'll get something else for you." She stood up and stopped one of the maids running down the hallway, "Hey you! Come here. Ask the chef to make some omelets instead."

When she sat on the bed beside me, she tried to hold my hand but I retracted from her touch.

I was appreciative of everything Sophia had done for me. In the past few days, while I was in and out, every time I opened my eyes, I saw her next to me, taking care of me.

Jake and Dottie had come to check on me a few times and filled me in on what had occurred, I was honestly astonished by the brave choice Sophia made, and I expressed my grati- tude.

Without her, I would still be in a coma.

It was just that... How I wished it was Ciana's face I saw when I opened my eyes from the long-lasting darkness. Sophia told me Ciana had visited a couple of times, but I was asleep.

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at my door.

"Come in," I answered.

It was Ciana. Her arrival brought an instant smile to my face.

Then my mood darkened when I saw Theo following her in. I wasn't sure how I could face him.

"Warren, it's good to see you up!" Ciana's cheerful voice was as pleasant as usual.

"Thank you for saving my life," I told her, and then turned to Sophia, "Thank you too, Miss Chambers."

Ciana chimed in, "Sophia, wow, you were good! I was so nervous, but you were calm and confident the whole time. during the ritual. I have no idea how you did it! Thank you, thank you! I owe you big this time!"

"No need to thank me, I didn't do that for you." Sophia held out a hand toward Ciana, her face flushed a little. "Be- sides, we're not friends yet."

Ciana didn't seem to mind Sophia's unfriendly manner and just smiled at me. "Warren, I'll go pick some fresh flowers for your room. Be right back. Oh, Sophia, could you come help me?"

Ciana didn't give Sophia the chance to turn her down and dragged her out of the room. I was thankful she gave Theo and I some privacy to sort out our problems.

I sighed, looking at Theo, who had been keeping his si- lence. Neither of us knew where to start our conversation.

"I didn't expect you to have gone through so much to save me." I felt I had to say something, 'otherwise, we might be staring at each other like this for the rest of the day.

"You were in a coma because of me. That was the least I could do." After a short pause, Theo said, "Warren, believe it or not, I never wanted to harm you or Maggie."

I sighed. By now, I had thought through everything. In fact, I'd long known that he didn't do it maliciously to begin with. Like others had said, Maggie's death was a tragic acci- dent.

But for me, being able to blame someone else was proba- bly the easiest way to handle the sadness of losing my dearest twin sister.

I nodded, "I know."

Theo seemed to be a bit surprised at the change in my at- titude.

"It's just too hard for me to let go of her."

"Then don't let go," Theo said firmly, surprising me. "War- ren, give me some time. You and I are royals, and we have burdens no others can shoulder. Right now, our country is in chaos-it has been for the past thirty years."

"Father... was not a good king."

"He was not," Theo continued to present his point. "Our people need us and we need to work together. Give me fif- teen years. Once I get everything back in order, if you still want your revenge for Maggie, I'll be more than happy to ac- cept that."

I stared at him and suddenly felt that the person standing in front of me wasn't the Theo that I was familiar with. Either I had never understood him, or he had changed.

"But right now," Theo said. "Besides me, someone else is also responsible for Maggie's death."

"Luther." I gritted through my teeth.

"That's right. We need to take him down," Theo stared into my eyes, "Warren, brother, join me."

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Theo's gaze didn't carry the usual coldness and distance, and I found it hard to turn him down.

"I need some time to think about it," I told him.

He didn't press me for an answer and left the room with a nod.

I didn't know how long I stared at the wall thinking about what he just said. He was right, I was the descendant of King Lycaon, and I had duties for this country.

I heard a knock at the door again. It must be Ciana return- ing with Sophia. Sighing, I answered, "Come in, please."

The door opened. I looked up and instantly felt the blood drain from my face.

"Warren," a soft, familiar voice called my name, but it made every single hair on my body stand up.

Maggie!!

It was Maggie standing at the entrance!

She closed the door behind her and slowly walked toward my bed.

"Who are you?! How dare you use that face!" I scolded.
