    *Ciana*


    When I woke up again, Maggie hade toward me, grinning widely. I kept my face averted from her


    as she approached and spoke to me.


    “I’ve heard a lot about you. Beryl. You’re Elder Frederic’s mate. I’m told he’d do anything for you. My…


    husband is very much the same.”


    “Are we going to bond over loving husbands?* I asked in a softer voice, trying my best to mimic Beryl. I


    crossed my legs and red at her. Thankfully, she was calling me by Beryl’s name. She hadn’t realized


    who I really was.


    “Well, you see, I’ve heard that you don’t support Luther or me. Your husband’s opinion is highly valued


    in the pack. If you started to see things our way, his loyalty would be solidified, as would your pack’s


    loyalty to Luther’s cause,’ she exined. Again, she looked at me with that sweet and gentle smile.


    I still couldn’t believe someone that looked so caring, innocent and even frail could be so cruel and


    vicious. She really had fooled all of us! Even her own twin.


    “What’s in it for me?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.


    “Why are you being so uncooperative? This is best for your pack. The crown is brutal and vicious.


    They’ll kill you all,’ Maggie said. “We are nicer than that.”


    “You haven’t done anything to make me believe that. Anyone that seeks power the way you do can’t be


    a better option than what we already have.”


    Maggie sneered and walked away from me, shaking her head.


    “Well, that is too bad. It looks like I won’t be able to convince you. How I wish we could be friends but…


    you leave me no choice,” she said with a soft sigh.


    I shook my head andughed. It was such a dramatic cliche and I’d had enough of her acting.


    “I know you!” Maggie whipped around and red at me. “Ciana ck!”


    “Bingo!” I grinned even more. “Too bad you can’t use Frederic anymore. He won’t tolerate you going


    after his wife, kidnapping her and threatening her. Because guess what, everyone else thinks I am her.’


    “What a surprise… It seemed like I underestimated you!” Maggie snarled. She came toward me like


    she was going to strangle me.


    I stepped back and chuckled again. “Frederic won’t think that Luther is the best option for the pack


    once he finds out what you did to his ‘wife.”


    “Very…well!’ The word ‘well* was gritted through Maggie’s teeth. *l nned it all perfectly but then you


    had to interfere! Now, here’s the price you’ll have to pay!”


    She took another step toward me.


    I knew Greg would race in to protect me the moment he thought I was in danger. I sped my hands


    behind my back and made a quick hand signal, telling him not toe to my aid yet. I could handle


    Maggie a little longer.


    Besides, I didn’t want to tip off her guards too soon that I had backup.


    I imagined that Greg was nervous and upset, especially since I told him to back off. He just had to trust


    me. I needed him toy low until I got everything out of Maggie that I needed to.


    “Before you kill me, let me take a stab at why you want me dead. It isn’t because I disrupted your ns.


    I bet it has more to do with the fact that you aren’t even a member of the royal family, not really. Aren’t


    you the illegitimate daughter of Lady Odelia and her guard?” I asked, stalling as much as I could.


    Maggie sniffed and rolled her eyes. ‘That sperm donor doesn’t get to be called my father! And my


    mother… she made me terrified of ever having the truthe out,’ Maggie snarled. She turned away


    from me and growled under her breath.


    “Let me guess, you grew up in fear of having your identity revealed. You thought that if Sebastian found


    out, he’d kill you and Warren. So, you chose to support Luther to get Sebastian out of power, then you


    and Warren could stop living in fear about whether and when your true identity would be revealed.”


    Maggie didn’t respond. She rxed her arms at her sides and stopped looking like she was going to


    pounce on me and strangle me. At least, not at that very moment.


    “Well, well, you surprised me yet again, Ciana. You’re right. Warren is my brother and of course I have


    his best interest at heart. Being with me is the safest option for him!’ she replied, ncing over her


    shoulder at me.


    “I’m full of surprises, I know.’ I nodded, trying to make myself look as confident and carefree as


    possible, because I knew she wouldn’t like me behaving like that. I could


    tell she wasing apart because she kidnapped the wrong woman and I refused to fall in line with


    what she had nned.


    I continued, “If that’s the case, I don’t get why you’re still doing this. You married Demarco and became


    part of his pack. He never would have let the king hurt you, regardless of your real father. Demarco’s


    pack is strong. As long as they obeyed the king, you would have always been protected.”


    “Well, Sebastian wasn’t exactly known to be reasonable. Even if Demarco obeyed him all the time,


    Sebastian still could have wiped us out if he learned the truth. It wasn’t enough,’ she said, shaking her


    head.


    “But… Sebastian is dead. Theo is king and he wouldn’t care about that. If you’re still opposing the


    crown, you must hate Theo… but, why? Can you help me understand that?’ I asked.


    “Hate!?” Maggie asked,ughing frantically. “Hate? You think I hate Theo?”


    Maggie’s face contorted, her features twisting. She looked absolutely evil.


    “Yes, I guess ’hate’ is the right word. I hate the fact that Theo isn’t mine!’ she cried.


    “Wh-what!?”


    “I’ve known for a long time that Theo wasn’t rted to me by blood. So. ever since we were young I’ve


    admired him… and after he saved me that one time, that admiration turned into love! I loved him and


    how could he think about any other girl but me?”


    “But Theo would never love you because he thought you were his sister,” I said.


    “Well, as long as I knew he didn’t have a lover, I could live happily and peacefully. Demarco… he loved


    me so much. I could ept my life with him as long as I knew Theo didn’t have anyone else and I


    would still be the only woman that is special in his life and forever will be in his life as his family! But


    then you showed up and…’ Maggie’s face twisted more. “Everything changed.”


    “Why would you want the man you love to be alone forever? That’s horrible,” I shouted, “and selfish!’


    Maggie scoffed. ‘Then clearly, you don’t understand love. You don’t know what it truly means to know


    that he is your entire world, and you would do anything to be with him… in any way that is possible! I


    imagined that when Sebastian was gone, I would be able to tell Theo the truth and he could be mine!”


    I shook my head and made a disgusted sound. Even if Theo knew the truth, I didn’t think he’d ever love


    Maggie. He still thought of her as a sister. Not to mention, she made him think he’d lost control of his


    power and killed her!


    That wasn’t something he’d just forgive.


    “But then… Well, Luther fed us information about a new woman in Theo’s life… you. The more I heard,


    the more I realized he was falling in love with you. I couldn’t have that!” Maggie continued.


    “That’s not my fault. Theo has a right to love someone and be happy. Even if it isn’t with you,’ I argued.


    “No! I always told myself that if I couldn’t have him, no other woman would. But now I see that he loves


    you!“ Maggie red at me with pure hatred. “I have nothing now. I’ve been suffering for years just


    loving and longing. You don’t get to enjoy his love if I don’ t!’


    “Maggie…”


    I never knew how much she hated me simply because Theo liked me.

    “You’re a gue to me. Even my own twin brother is addicted to you! I have to get rid of you,” Maggie


    cried. Her eyes were wild with hatred.


    I gaped at her and took another step back. Suddenly, everything ws starting to make sense. It was a


    secret she’d kept for so long, but when I thought about it, the signs were there.


    When Demarco had us put on that show for Maggie, I’d noticed how she looked at Theo, even though


    he was disguised as Tallis. She had recognized him. That’s why she hadn’t been able to take her eyes


    off of him.


    Had she known it was Theo all along? Or had she just been so surprised by Demarco’s gesture with


    the y? Either way, I could clearly remember that look.


    She’d gazed at him adoringly, longingly, and even with a hint of anger or jealousy.


    She probably never thought she’d see Theo again, and be able to tell him how she felt. After years of


    being separated. I could imagine how that longing could return so strongly. It was the same way I used


    to feel when I thought about the boy I’d given my bracelet to.


    I always imagined when we reunited, it would be so happy. All the longing I’d felt would vanish.


    Maybe Maggie had the same fantasy about when she saw Theo again, telling him that she loved him


    and that they weren’t really brother and sister. She’d probably waited for that moment, only to see him


    again and be unable to tell him because Sebastian was still alive.


    “It’s just not fair! I did everything I was supposed to. I waited and I nned. Now it is all ruined because


    of you!” Maggie cried.


    Maggie was going to lose it big time. I’d gotten all the information from her I could and if I didn’t get out


    of there, she really would try to kill me.


    I put my hands behind my back again and signaled Greg.


    With a loud cry, Greg dropped out of a nearby tree andnded on Maggie.


    Maggie shrieked and started fighting him off. I knew Greg could handle himself, so I took off into the


    woods, looking for a way to escape.


    “Guards, get her!” Maggie screamed before Greg got control of her again.


    All of the guards from the camp swarmed in around me. I punched one in the face and ran past him as


    he staggered. Several more closed in around me and I waspletely surrounded.


    I was just about to get ready to fight when a firm hand closed around my arm.


    I looked over. It was Warren.


    For a moment, I thought I was really in trouble. He’d knocked me out thest time I saw him!


    “Warren!” I warned him, “Do note close!”


    His face softened and he wore a faint smile. It was bitter, but I could tell it was a real, friendly smile like


    the ones I used to see.


    “I’m going to help you,” he promised.
