Chapter 94: Never Again

‘Ciana*

After Warren left me to go back, I ran through the garden to get away from the stage. Instead of running away, I knew I needed to help. Warren and Theo were in danger!

The only other person that cared about them both was Maggie. If anyone could stop this, it was her.

I found Maggie in her room. She looked much better than she had before the play. I guess she really did feel a lot happier after seeing the performance. What a difference being in good spirits could make.

“Maggie! Please help! You have to stop them,” I panted out the moment she looked up at me.

Maggie creased her brow. She rose from her bed and grabbed the footboard, steadying herself. She was still pretty weak. Suddenly, she started to cough, and was barely able to catch her breath.

I saw a pitcher of water next to her bed and I went over, poured her a glass and handed it to her. She smiled in thanks and took a few sips, which seemed to soothe whatever was bothering her.

‘Please, tell me what happened?” she urged after she was finally able to talk, her eyes lit up with confusion.

“Warren and Theo are in danger,” I blurted out, getting straight to the point.

The glass I just handed her trembled and slipped from her fingers, smashing on the floor. I grabbed Maggie’s arm to pull her away from the shards before they cut her bare feet.

“Warren and… did you say Theo?” she asked, creasing her brow.

“No time to explain much but Tallis is Theo. Demarco is working with Luther to try to capture them both. You’re the only one who could help… to persuade Demarco. Please help!” I begged, tightening my hand on her wrist.

Maggie’s brow creased deeper, like she was processing the few details I gave her. “Right, let’s go,” she said with a nod.

I looped my arm through hers for support and I hurried back to the stage area, as fast as I could. Maggie had a little trouble keeping up and I didn’t want to make her worse by rushing her.

When we arrived, I stopped dead and stared, gasping. Beside me, Maggie sucked in a sharp breath and I felt her arm quiver In mine.

Theo was in wolf form, bearing down on Demarco. Maggie’ s husband wouldn’ t last much longer against him. He looked beaten and bruised, and I was pretty sure his hind leg was broken.

A few dozen wolf bodies lay scattered on the ground, dead. Their eyes were frozen in the last emotion they’d ever felt, and a lot of them reflected absolute, chilling terror.

I felt ice sliding down my spine, paralyzed by what I was seeing.

“That’ s… is that really… Theo? ” Maggie whispered small, surprised, and seemingly frightened voice.

“Yes, that is Theo, I promise,’ I said, nodding. I wasn’t sure if she still didn’t recognize him or if it scared her to see her brother like that.

Maggie’s face got even paler and her arm slipped from mine. I was about to run after her when I saw a familiar form on the ground.

‘Oh Goddess.. I gasped as I recognized it was Warren and immediately ran to check on him.

He was so pale and bleeding from the shoulder. It looked like he lost a lot of blood. There was a small pool of red under him.
