Chapter 127: Do You Forgive Me Now?

I stood up and looked at the darkening sky, it was time for me to go home.

With Maggie weak and wounded, it was easy to tie her up.

"Let me go, you wretched witch!" she shouted.

I'd bring her to Murray and Frederic. They could decide what to do with her.

"Ciana, Stop!' Warren’s worried voice startled me as he ran up to Maggie.

“Warren, I have to turn her in. My pack elders are going to take it from here," I explained.

However, Warren didn't listen to me. He looked at me with a deep, sad expression and he charged towards me with all his might. To keep my balance, I had to let go of Maggie.

“Sorry Ciana, but I can't let you do that," he shook his head and added, “If you try to stop us, I won't hold back like last time."

In his arms, Maggie groaned and leaned against him heavily. He tightened his grip around her.

My throat tightened when I saw how dark and serious his eyes were. As I hesitated, Warren shifted and Maggie got on his back. All I could do was watch the two of them run away.

After letting out a sigh, I headed back to the road where Murray and Frederic had led the attack against Maggie's shifters. My stomach gurgled, unsettled that I’d let Maggie get away. However, deep down... could I really bring myself to watch Maggie be sentenced to death by my pack? I didn't know.

When I got back to the battlefield, they were just rounding up the last of Maggie's shifters. I was pleased to see there were few Alvar casualties and injuries.

"Ciana, you're safe," Frederic said, running up to me and hugging me.

"I'm okay. The ambassador... she got away," I said somberly.

"We heard you stalled her attack until we could arrive and back you up," Elder Murray said, joining the conversation.

"I did what I had to to save myself," I grinned.

"And you were very smart and brave in doing so," Frederic commented, "Well done."

"I'm glad to see your father has rubbed off on you. It seems we've been unfair, treating you like a young child. Yet you handled this situation with dignity, calmly and strategically. You're a lot more grown up than we've given you credit for." Murray patted on my shoulder and beamed at me.

My cheeks warmed a little and I smiled. "Thanks."

"And thanks to you, there are minimal casualties to our pack, and Luther's true colors have come out. The rest of the pack has also agreed not to support him," Frederic added.

"Really?" I asked, brightening. That was the best news I'd heard all day!

"Well, honestly, it wasn't just because of what Luther's ambassador did. You see, we got some help winning this battle from an unexpected source," Frederic added with a sly look.

"We never thought he'd be so willing to step in and help our pack. Especially given who his father is..."

My heart leapt into my throat. I thought they meant Warren because he had been nearby. It wasn't common knowledge that Warren wasn't Sebastian's son.

But a small hope rose in my heart. What if... they meant Theo?

However, I knew it couldn't be him. Theo was off trying to stop rebellions.
