Chapter 80: Theo Saves The Day

After Luther left, I rested on the bed. The mattress was soft and plush and made staying awake hard.

With all that had gone on in my pack and now this with Luther, my body was spent. Sleep found me long before I could even fight it.

The next time I opened my eyes it was to the sound of light knocking. I groaned and sat up in bed. It took my mind a moment to remember where I was.

The door to my room unlocked and in walked a middle aged woman dressed in a maid's uniform.

“Good morning, Miss Ciana.” She bowed her head and walked in with a trolly with an assortment of different foods. "Alpha Luther sent me with your breakfast. I will be bringing your clothes shortly."

She pushed the trolly to my bed where I caught a whiff of the food. It smelled heavenly and my stomach responded by grumbling.

"The chef prepared eggs Benedict. Will this suffice for you?”

I nodded looking at the food. As far as prison food went, this wasn't half bad- honestly, way better than when I was in Theo' s dungeon. If I hadn't been so hungry I would have denied the tasty breakfast but I needed my strength.

The thought of Theo sometimes made me question my own judgment. There definitely had been times I wished I could strangle the Dark Prince, yet, in a situation like this, he was the only one I'd trust without any reservation.

After we'd been through so much together, I wondered whether he trusted me as much as I did him?

"My name is Magnolia and I will be your aid." She smiled and bowed to me before leaving the room.

I pulled the sheets off my body and walked to the trolly.

The food was delicious, I had to admit. Getting myself replenished with energy was a wise choice in a situation like this.

I wondered what Tallis, or should I say Theo, had been up to? Did he know where Luther took me? Was he with me in this place? If so, where would he be?

It had been more than 12 hours since I'd arrived and I hadn't gotten any news from him. Should I be worried that he somehow didn't make it? After all, the Dark Prince was very busy. Or what if... he got into trouble?

I shook that thought off. No, he was the most fearsome person in the world. Anyone could get in trouble with him, but probably not the other way around. However, whatever his situation was, if I didn't hear from him for another day, I would plan to escape on my own. I didn't want to be here longer than

I had to.

Just then, the door opened again. Speaking of the devil.

However, to my disappointment, it wasn't Theo.
