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.
