Chapter 120: I’m Not Hereto Kill Anyone

When her mask was completely down I let out an audible gasp.

It can't be. How was this even possible?

"I was wondering whether you would come back." Maggie smiled at me softly.

"That's not possible...! watched you die!’

She chuckled lightly.

"Maggie, this isn't funny at all!" I snapped. "Are you the reason why Warren left the palace?"

"He doesn't belong there," she said with an even tone. Then she let out a pitiful sigh, *1' m guessing that my brother couldn't go through with the plan after all. Warren was supposed to kill you. Had he done that, Alvar pack would've been our ally by now.

Luther won't be happy at all.'

"You have been working with Luther the entire time?!’ I looked at her with bewilderment, "What the hell is going on, Maggie? Had I not seen it with my eyes, I would never believe all this is true!*

"Theo didn't touch me, and he wouldn't be able to kill me without touching me, that I knew. I was worried that Theo would be suspicious about my death, but it all worked out well.'

She smiled softly like she always did. I used to admire that smile, but now, it was the most unbearable expression I'd ever seen.

I was there at her funeral. I watched Warren and Demarco both suffer day and night. I watched their broken hearts bleed for the woman they both loved so dearly.

"We mourned for you, Maggie. Warren and Demarco mourned for you!'

"Warren is a good kid, but he is too soft-hearted," she said casually as she tucked her wavy long hair behind her ear gracefully. "I faked my death hoping that the loss of me could toughen him up, but he still let Theo off the hook so easily. Being overly forgiving is never a good trait."

I remembered what Raymond said before his death and murmured, "So you were the woman Raymond mentioned. Why, Maggie? Why did you choose Luther?!’

"Why?" she scoffed, “Ciana, if you hadn't come into my life, I might not have taken this path! You forced my hand."

"What the hell are you talking about?!’

I reached out to grab her but she avoided me and sneered, 'I said your arrival was the catalyst for my decision! Oh well, you've got help coming. I'm sure we'll see each other soon enough. By then we’ll find out who your pack chooses to follow.'

"Don't mess with my pack, Maggie,' I warned her as she disappeared into the woods. "Or I will personally deliver you to death's door myself!*

Maggie was no longer anywhere to be seen, leaving me still in utter shock.

"Ciana!’ Sherry ran to me, 'Is everything okay?“
