The Forgotten Prince

Part 32

Theo's Pov.

"Well, my consciousness is in the flame." Lexa says as she walks over to me.

"W-why are you here?" I ask her as she stands about 3 feet in front of me.

"You were calling out to me, probably without even knowing it." Lexa says, and a frown makes its way on my face.

"Did you know?" I ask her, and she shakes her head.

"I did not know I had a sibling." Lexa says as I see hurt run through her eyes.

"Your anger comes from your hurt, Theo." Lexa says, and I just scoff at her words.

"Well, how would you act if you find out? The woman you thought was your mother wasn't, and the man you thought was your brother actually is your father. And to top it all off that you were my sister." I almost yell at the girl. 

"I do not remember much of our mother, but the first time I saw you, your eyes reminded me of hers. " Lexa says as she walks even closer to me.

"You and I both know your anger towards Clarke is not right." Lexa continues, and I just scoff at her words.

"Clarke should have told me the truth, Roan should have told me the truth." I bite her way.

"My whole life has been a lie. If they were just honest, maybe things would have been different." I whisper, and I feel Lexa take my hand.

"Well, if they were honest from your birth, you would have been taken to Polis to start your training. And their would have been a chance we had to fight in the conclave." Lexa says, and I chuckle at the thought of when we fought.

"I would have won." I say, and the girl playfully shoves my shoulder.

"I know you're hurt, but we both know that Roans hand was forced, that when Nia found out you were a Natblida, she would not let you get out of her grasp ." Lexa whispers, and I give her a small nod.

"All my life, I thought my father was dead, and my mother was a cruel woman, only to find out it was all a lie." I whisper, and I feel Lexa hold my hand tighter.

"Clarke was the messenger. You can not blame her for that." Lexa says, and I connect my eyes with hers.

" She was  wrong to keep it from you for years, but what she was so afraid of happened." Lexa continues, and I hang my head down in  shame.

"Love does not make you weak, Theo. It makes us fight harder for the people we love and care about." Lexa continues as she soflty grabs my chin and makes our eyes connect again.

"A-all I wanted as a kid was to be loved. And the voice in my head says I'm not worthy of it . Finding this out just made the voice louder that if Roan really loved me, he wouldn't let his son in the hands of that cruel woman knowing what she did to me. If Clarke really cared about me, she would have told me the truth. " I whisper as I feel tears start to well in my eyes.

"T-that I'm a monster that's not worthy of somebody loving me." I continue in a small voice as I let the tears fall down my face.

"They love you so much Theo, and I know our mother loved you too. Just open your heart for them, and you will see it." Lexa whispers as she places her hand on my cheek.

"Madi adores you, I know you always said you didn't want to lead. But here you are, a part of you did it out of your anger. But the larger part did it knowing that if you wouldn't do it, they would turn to Madi. " Lexa says, and I nod my head.

"She deserves to live the childhood we never get to have." I whisper, and I see a smile make its way on the girls face.

"My little brother." Lexa says, and I playfully push her away from me.
