Chapter 126: Maggie’s Secrets Revealed

All hell broke loose. Murray and Fredric's men shifted into their wolves and lunged for Maggie’s men. Everyone shifted and started to battle one another. All I could hear was the growling and snapping of teeth.

"No..." I heard Maggie say from beside me.

A wolf lunged for her but she ducked just in time to miss the attack. She stood to her full height and looked around the camp with wide eyes. She could no longer maintain her composure and I also saw anger swimming behind her irises.

She then turned to me and growled. "You always ruin everything. Can you see what you have done? Luther will not stand for this!"

“Looks like you picked the wrong side." I smiled. "Good always wins out in the end, Maggie. You just have to believe that."

Her eyes were burning with fury, and she muttered under her breath as a couple of her confidants lunged at me. "Take her with us. We’re out of here!"

They grabbed my arm roughly and dragged me toward the forest. I tried to cry for help but everyone else was busy fighting and Maggie's guards shoved something in my mouth so I couldn't make a sound anymore.

“Don’t kill her!" Maggie ordered, "I need her wolf!"

I almost rolled my eyes and told her she was delusional, but I kept that to myself. It was best not to anger the lunatic.

They pulled me past the tree line away from the battle.

I decided that now was as good a time as any to play dumb, so I forced myself to fall over and hit the ground hard.

“Ah!" I groaned.

Maggie stopped and her guards tried to pull me roughly to my feet. “What are you doing? Move!"

"My head, it's spinning. I don't know what's wrong." I only hoped that my acting skills were as good as I believed them to be.

She looked down at my knee and it was in fact bleeding. "Get up. You can still walk."

I shook my head and pretended to pant heavily. "I can't breathe. Everything is spinning."

I fell to the ground again and pretended to be passed out.

I knew that she wouldn't leave me out here in the forest. I was too valuable to her. She needed me because she wanted my wolf which she now believed gave me immunity to Theo's powers.

“Of course, she freaking fainted!" she groaned.

Then I felt someone lift me up and drape my arm over their shoulders.

I kept my head hanging low and pretended I was unconscious the entire time.

Nov/ that I wasn't worried that my life was in danger, I thought I could play along and see if there was anything else Maggie was planning.

The war cries from the battlefield sounded further and further away as we moved deeper into the forest.

I didn't know how long we walked for but when they placed me against what felt like a tree trunk, it was quiet. I knew these forests well and I knew that we were either near the eastern border or the southeastern one.

"You, reach out to Luther and request reinforcements; You, start patrolling the area and report back in a couple of hours," Maggie ordered her two guards.

"Yes!"

Footsteps moved away from us and I was left alone with Maggie.

I wanted to understand Maggie more so I needed to figure out a way to keep her talking. But I couldn't risk waking up. She would force us to move and I would much prefer to remain on packlands.

"Theo...” I mumbled under my breath.

I heard her snap, "What did you say?"

I waited for a beat and said his name again.

“No, no, no! Theo is not yours, he belongs to me!" she muttered. I wasn’t sure whether she was talking to me or to herself.

"You little witch! How dare you try to take him from me! He is mine! We have been through so much together. We have loved each other even before we knew what the word love truly meant."

Did she truly believe that Theo loved her in that way? They were siblings. As far as Theo knew, they were born sharing half of their blood.

"At first, I didn’t really like Theo too much. He was always aloof, seemingly arrogant. He and Warren were so different!"

She drew her face closer to mine and placed her lips close to my ear. "Then, I found out that neither Warren nor I were Sebastian's children! Could you understand how that felt? Every day and every night, I lived in constant fear of my cruel father finding out about the truth! I had to put up an ignorant face even in front of my mother!"
