I stared at the empty spot where Theo had been standing seconds before. He’d been like a zombie, so distant and dazed. I’d never seen him like that… almost like he was scared.
Theo was the Dark Prince, he didn’t get scared! Did he? Had he even heard me shouting his name?
“Luther!” a new voice shouted.
Some of Luther’s men ran to the stage. I recognized them from when I stayed at his mansion. Thankfully, they didn’t even look my way. They just helped Luther to his feet.
“Won’t be long now,” Luther chuckled as his wolves helped him off the stage. “Soon, even Sebastian will find that monster too destructive to keep, then it’ll be our time to strike.”
My heart quivered. Would Sebastian turn on his own son?
“Maggie, my dear, sweet love,” Demarco crooned.
I watched as he kneeled beside her. Tears continued to streak his face and he sobbed. He kept rocking her, like he was hoping that she could hear him and open her eyes magically, but she didn’t respond.
