Chapter 126: Maggie’s Secrets Revealed

All hell broke loose. Murray and Fredric's men shifted into their wolves and lunged for Maggie’s men. Everyone shifted and started to battle one another. All I could hear was the growling and snapping of teeth.

"No..." I heard Maggie say from beside me.

A wolf lunged for her but she ducked just in time to miss the attack. She stood to her full height and looked around the camp with wide eyes. She could no longer maintain her composure and I also saw anger swimming behind her irises.

She then turned to me and growled. "You always ruin everything. Can you see what you have done? Luther will not stand for this!"

“Looks like you picked the wrong side." I smiled. "Good always wins out in the end, Maggie. You just have to believe that."

Her eyes were burning with fury, and she muttered under her breath as a couple of her confidants lunged at me. "Take her with us. We’re out of here!"

They grabbed my arm roughly and dragged me toward the forest. I tried to cry for help but everyone else was busy fighting and Maggie's guards shoved something in my mouth so I couldn't make a sound anymore.

“Don’t kill her!" Maggie ordered, "I need her wolf!"

I almost rolled my eyes and told her she was delusional, but I kept that to myself. It was best not to anger the lunatic.

They pulled me past the tree line away from the battle.

I decided that now was as good a time as any to play dumb, so I forced myself to fall over and hit the ground hard.

“Ah!" I groaned.

Maggie stopped and her guards tried to pull me roughly to my feet. “What are you doing? Move!"

"My head, it's spinning. I don't know what's wrong." I only hoped that my acting skills were as good as I believed them to be.

She looked down at my knee and it was in fact bleeding. "Get up. You can still walk."

I shook my head and pretended to pant heavily. "I can't breathe. Everything is spinning."

I fell to the ground again and pretended to be passed out.

I knew that she wouldn't leave me out here in the forest. I was too valuable to her. She needed me because she wanted my wolf which she now believed gave me immunity to Theo's powers.
