“Warren, Theo is your brother. You’re mad at him right now, but you won’t feel that way forever,” I tried to reason with him.
“Maggie was my twin. I have more loyalty to her than to Theo!” Warren argued, shaking his head. “Are you refusing to help because you still care about him? How could you, after what he did?”
“Maggie’s loss is devastating, but we don’t know the whole story. Theo ran off and… it could have been an accident…”
I hadn’t wanted to bring up my thoughts before, because Warren was so sad. Now, I had to present them. I wanted him to consider the possibility that Theo wasn’t evil. Not because I cared about Theo but because I didn’t want Warren to destroy himself with revenge.
“An accident? I know my dear brother too well. The Dark Prince doesn’t do anything by accident! He kills. That’s all he’s good for,” Warren scoffed.
“Warren…” I reached for his arm.
He jerked away, glaring at me. “You’re really not going to help?”
