Chapter 98: The Ultimatum
Aurora sighed, “1 felt really sorry for him.”
“Me too. But I can’t lie to him. That would only hurt him more in the future.”
Aurora smiled wryly, “Maybe you’re right. Miss, it was nice talking to you. Here’s your dinner. If you need anything else, please do not hesitate to tell me.’
I watched her leave the room, and I didn’t bother to try to escape. There were guards outside, guards from Vaner.
Demarco probably would be more than happy to share his resources to help Warren get to Theo.
Since that night, Warren had come to check on me every day. I tried to carry calm conversations with him during his visits, but with each passing day, I saw him consumed more by darkness and I started to lose sight of the Warren I was familiar with.
Gone was that warmth in his eyes. Now all I could see was vengeance.
I stared up at the moon and looked to the sky.
“Maggie,” I whispered, “he is in so much pain and I don’t know how to help him. What should I do? What would you
I let out a heavy breath and wondered whether I should tw to sleep, which had been a distant dream for me as of late.

Warren and Theo took their turns to show up in my dreams, keeping me tossing and turning all night.
As days went by, I thought of Theo more and more. I wondered what he was doing and how he was keeping.
A knock at my door drew my attention. Then it was opened from the outside.
As Warren walked in, I let out a sigh.
He was here to ask me the same question, and I would give him the same answer.
Tonight, his hair looked like he had run his hand through it multiple times and his face had begun to stubble. I could see the•bags under his eyes and the crazed look in his eyes.
“What do you say, Ciana?’ “You know my answer.”
“Why? Why won’t you help me?”
“You need help, but not from me. A healer would be more valuable for you than your prisoner.’
‘I’m fine!” he snapped back. “I’m sober and I’ve never been so clear on what I want to do!”
Do you really think that will make you feel better Warren? Put aside the fact that he’s your brother and has no motivation to harm Maggie, just think for yourself! Killing the crowned prince, and having the entire wolf population after you. Is that what Maggie wants for the rest of your life?”
“Not the entire wolf population. Demarco wants him dead

98 The too. I’m sure there are more people like us out there.”
“Demarco worked with Luther, and somehow they don’t take any blame for this?”
“Don’t you worry! Once I take care of Theo, Luther will be next! He’s a vile psychopath that wants to destroy the crown. That traitor will answer for his crimes. I will feel his blood run through my fingers and pool at my feet if it’s the last thing I do. But that’s all after Theo’s demise. At this point, I’m not picky about my allies, even Luther.”
He had lost it.
“Warren, have you heard what you just said? You’re blind by your rage, and you know what, I’m tired and want to go to bed. You should too. When was the last time you slept more than two hours in a row? We can talk when you can carry a real conversation.’

“You will not leave this place until you join me, Ciana.”
“Then I guess I will just die here.”
I decided there was no point in arguing any further. So I walked to the bathroom, closed the door, and started washing my face, hoping he would just leave me alone.
Regardless of how unreasonable Warren had been lately, one thing he wouldn’t do was violate my privacy by barging into my bathroom, that I was sure of.
“You can’t just walk away like that!” he shouted loudly, clearly frustrated by my cold shoulder.
Of course I could. I just did.
LhimMum
I decided to ignore him, but then I heard him pounding on the bathroom door. He didn’t just break in —there wasn’t a lock, but I knew he wouldn’t. Thank the Goddess.
“Ciana, you love him, don’t you?”
What?
“Otherwise, why wouldn’t you help me? Why would you be able to forgive his crime?”
That was it! I flung the door open.
“Warren, listen. Just because I didn’t agree to hunt down your brother, doesn’t mean that I must have romantic feelings for him. You’re not being rational right now and you’re not seeing things with a clear mind!”
“Between you and me, who is the one lying? Ciana, can’t you see, only when I mention him, do you get this upset? In the past, you’ve done so much for him, and what has he done in return for you? Nothing! And yet, you are always seeking him out! Why?”
I couldn’t explain to Warren in a few sentences what happened between Theo and I. It was too complicated. I wouldn’t even know where to start.
“See, you can’t even answer me!”
I sighed, “Warren, it’s not like that.”
“Then tell me, what is it?”
What was it? I didn’t even know.
30 9″. At our first encounter, he could not have left a worse first
impression. The ruthless, callous prince who would take out lives without a blink of an eye. Later, somehow, we just kept running into each other, and while he was mean and aloof, I realized that he wasn’t really bloodthirsty as rumor had it.
Then, ever since the night at the pavilion, since that very first kiss we had, things were different. It was like fate was messing with us; one thing after another, we’d been through many journeys together, he’d saved me many times, and I’d also seen his struggle.
To me, he wasn’t just a distant, symbolic, royal prince, but someone that I cared about as a friend, and without me even knowing, becoming more and more important in my heart.
When I looked back, I actually didn’t know how to describe what was between us.
We were definitely not enemies, but were we friends? Perhaps, it depended on the day.
We were definitely not lovers, but did we like each other that way? I thought of Theo’s attitude toward me, and realized that I had no clue.
The more I thought about it, the more I was confused.
“What is it then?” Warren kept pressing.
I… I don’t know.” That was the most honest reply I could come up with.
Warren stared at me, his handsome face was pale and his look was stony.
“You don’t know? Ciana, you—”

Loud noises of heavy things hitting the walls and floor echoed through the hallway, and footsteps mingled with different people shouting could be heard.
‘Stop him!”
“No, not that way! Ahhh!”
Bang—
My door was broken from outside and a large black wolf let out a low growl at us.
“Theo!” My eyes widened and my heart jumped into my throat.
His teeth were out and his eyes ablaze. Time seemed to stand still as his eyes scanned the room until they landed on me. They gave me a once over and quickly averted to Warren.
I followed his gaze as he came to place himself between me and his brother.
“Apologies mean nothing, Theo!” Warren scoffed as he kept his distance and walked a semi-circle around the Dark Prince’s defensive stance in wolf form. “He thinks he’s protecting you, Ciana. What a joke!”
“He wants you to let me go, Warren.” I voiced for him. I re alized then that they were talking through the mindlink, however, even without hearing their conversation, I just knew the reason that Theo was here tonight.
He came for me.

tremor in his voice or wavering in his step as he came closer and stared eye to eye with his brother’s wolf. I looked from one to the other and knew that Warren would be no match for Theo, despite the fact that Warren was a top warrior himself. The immediate tension shifted as a clamor
