Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder

Chapter 129: I've Got a Plan

“No. You don't have proof because there is no proof. Guards, take her and throw her out!” Demarco demanded, snapping to his guards again.

They closed in on me. Sherry and Greg appeared at my sides, joining my guards to protect me. I had a feeling they were still close by even after Theo had left, but they’d stayed hidden until now.

Thinking fast, I reached into my pocket and pulled out the stone that Maggie had gone on and on about. I threw the stone at Demarco's feet.

“There's your proof! Maggie carved a prayer to the Moon Goddess into that stone. She wished for her matebond to you to fail," I said. "Maggie is still alive and working with Luther to recruit and expand the influence of the Shadow."

Demarco's body was trembling and he stared at the rock for a while. Eventually, he bent down and picked up the stone, rolling it around in his hands.

Then his eyes widened and he shook his head like he still didn't want to believe it, even though the proof was staring him right in the face.

“If you still don't believe me, why not join me and search for Maggie? That's what we're heading off to do," I said, motioning to my companions.

“You’re insane. You are just trying to confuse me," Demarco said, shaking his head.

“You could also check her tomb. That should be enough to convince you she's still alive... if she isn't there anymore. What more proof would you need?" I countered.

Demarco stared at me, jaw dropped. Then his eyes turned bloodshot again and his nostrils flared.

“You dare come into my pack and ask me to desecrate my wife's grave!? You brought tragedy on my mate and now you want to insult her memory!? What right do you have to disrupt my grieving process? Maggie is gone!" he shouted. The blue veins on his forehead bulged as he screamed at me.

“Demarco, I didn't cause any of this, I only brought the information. You don't have to believe me. If you choose to cover your eyes from the truth, it's up to you." I shrugged like it didn't matter to me what he thought.

Demarco scoffed and tossed the rock on the ground.

"However," I looked him in the eye, "if you're wrong, and you keep supporting Luther, you'll not only suffer the loss of your mate, but also your pack!".

"You never knew anything about Maggie," Demarco argued. His voice was softer now, like he was running out of reasons to defend Maggie.

"If she was truly the kind soul like you said, do you think she'd want you to lose yourself to get revenge for her, risking the entire pack? Even if she did lie to you, would you lead your entire pack to destruction for someone that deceived you?" I asked, challenging Demarco even more.

"Stop... stop saying that! Maggie wasn't lying. And I would exact revenge again and again on Theo for what he did to her," Demarco declared.

Beside me, Sherry and Greg growled. I held an arm out to keep them tame. This wasn't the time to be flying off the handles.

"You don't have to stand with Theo, but if I were you, I wouldn't stand with Luther either. I would stay neutral and protect your own pack."

This time Demarco didn't fight back. He just stared at the ground.
