Chapter 67 To Marry Me

*Warren*

Ciana's face said it all. She was clearly upset and shocked. I was also surprised to hear that. I heard about Luther being a pain to deal with back at the palace, but I had no idea why he would come all the way out here to Alvar pack to cause trouble.

"What the!" Ciana muttered, under her breath as the train began to slow down to a stop at the station. “I guess... Raymond's plan is working."

"What plan?" I had a little bit of information about what had happened when Ciana and Theo had come out here, but I didn't know all of the details.

Ciana was more thinking aloud than answering me from what I could tell. "Obviously, he found this girl who looks like me and brought her in as a puppet. He probably convinced the pack elders and others that he had the support of my family even though my parents aren't here because he has that fake version of me."

"So he's using a woman who looks a bit like you to trick everyone into thinking you are willing to make an alliance with Luther's pack?" I asked her.

She turned and looked at me. "She looks exactly like me, Warren. Exactly. Close enough to fool just about anyone."

"Wow," I muttered. "Even your parents?"

"No, I don't think so, but they're not here, and I don't have any other family. No, the only other person besides my mom and dad who might be able to tell would be Susan, but she's... dead." Ciana's eyes widened slowly, and she began nodding.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"That's why she had to die! Of course!" she gritted through her teeth as she turned and looked at me, grasping onto my arm.

"What are you talking about?"

"Raymond knew because Susan and I were so close that she would see that this imposter isn't me, and she would say something. So... he killed her." I saw a mixture of anger and sadness on her face at this revelation.

We pulled into the train station, I grabbed her luggage as well as mine. "Let's go. We'll get all of this sorted."

"We?"

"Yes, we. I'll go to my sister's once we get your pack affairs straightened out."

"But Pr... Warren. You really don't need to. I can handle this myself."
