Chapter 182
182-My Missing Mate
Thiago’s POV:
I have pulled Lazlo away from Enya because I didn’t like the way he was treating her. I understand he was worried for her and I
was more worried than him, but I would still never let him make her feel like we don’t trust her.
“I can’t believe you aren’t angry with this situation,” Lazlo continued to drag the situation.
“Lazlo! I didn’t expect this from you. Why would you speak to her in such a tone?” | stood with the window on the abandoned
side of the hotel and looked him straight in the eye. The agitation in his body was making me realize he was not only putting
pressure on her but hurting himself, too.
“Did you not hear all that? Why did she have to go into the room with him? And then, not only did she let him touch her, but felt
the heat too? she even reported it to us so casually,” Lazlo was understandably aggravated, but I didn’t see Enya’s fault in it.
“And that is the problem? She didn’t let him touch her. He touched her and her wolf felt the heat.” I corrected him because he
was constantly phrasing it wrong.
“And she told us as if she has no idea it would hurt us,” Lazlo repeated himself like a broken record.
“And I am so happy that she is a devoted one. She came and told me everything without withholding a single detail. Lazlo, that’s
what trust makes you do. You believe in your mate and you share everything with them to come up with a solution together
instead of fearing what your mate will think. Under those conditions, people lie and then things turn dirty.” I wasn’t exaggerating. I
had been able to share it all with my mate. Enya never doubted me or made me feel like an outsider once. Even when she
knows she is much more powerful than others, she never thought she deserves a better mate, whose wolf is not all odd and
insane. I was way too blessed to have Enya as my mate.
Ever since my parents died, I was reminded constantly that I cannot lead a happy life. But when she came into my life, I realized
I don’t need to hate my life. She made me love myself and everything around me.
This idiot in front of me didn’t even figure out why I gave him a chance; it was all because of her. She helped me feel for others.
“I trust her. And Lazlo, don’t even think she went into the room to lead him on. She has a soft heart, and she cares for others and
that makes her different. Besides, he is her mate so she is bound to feel some sort of a connection,” I saw Lazlo scoffing and it
helped me comprehend he was still not considering my point.
“You do remember what happened when she tried helping someone on the rooftop when the disastrous tornado hit? She got
tricked.” Lazlo was trying to make a point, but he missed something,
“Didn’t you listen to Maynard, who used you to get closer to Enya? look! I am trying to say that good people are more compelled
to make mistakes. But we still need good people in the world. She was even worried about somebody in the fields. Do you think
it was just so that she can lead them on? And even everything aside, I didn’t like it when you used that phrase for her. I don’t
want you to shake her confidence.” I genuinely told him his words made me apprehensive.
Enya is a very modest she-wolf. She had not done a single wrong thing and even if she had; it resulted from the purity of her
heart. She might get fooled around a lot because she genuinely cares about others and that makes her even stand out more.
“a–m sorry!” Lazlo scraped the back of his neck apologetically.
“I am waiting for her to realize she needs strength. Lazlo, a lot is coming our way. I can sense the danger and we— the entire
academy, need Enya. She will need strength and for that, she will need to get accepted by her mates.” I reminded him that I
haven’t forgotten about that issue.
“I promise you I will not force her into a physical relationship. I just want to be there for her. She will be your mate only.” Lazlo
once again promised me.
Not everybody is born to accept to share their mate. I was most certainly not, but that didn’t mean she cannot befriend her
mates.
“But I don’t want her near Zander,” I then added and Lazlo nodded his head.
“Can I ask you something?” before we could turn around and leave to attend to curious Enya, Lazlo tapped his fingers at my arm
to get my attention.
“Sure! Go ahead ask me anything,” I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
“When we were watching that clip, you reacted very aggressively. Do you know what is there in the fields?” | kind of suspected
somebody to bring it up.
I don’t even know what happened to me when I watched that clip, but something inside me flipped.

“I will be honest with you; I don’t know either. It is just the instant I saw that my heart missed a beat. It was as if I know there is a
danger waiting in those fields for us,” I finished without leaving a detail out.
“Hmm, well, we will be on the lookout then,” Lazlo had finally calmed down, so we were all set to leave to meet Enya again.
“I hope she is not angry with me,” Lazlo reflected, walking back to where we have left her.
“Where did she go?” Lazlo asked before we could even reach the room. I pushed the door to the girl’s room open and tried
looking for her.
“Hey! is Enya inside?” | asked Jessica, who had been sitting in the bed alone and giggling with herself like an idiot.
“What?” she asked with a huge smile plastered across her lips. “I am sorry! But my mate wanted to speak to me and now he is
gone because of the interruption,” she answered. Lazlo and I shared a glance and then looked at her again.
“Where did you go?” she pursued talking to someone. Lazlo glanced around the room and then frowned.
“My rejection has made her lose her mind,” he whispered back in my ear, compelling me to roll my eyes at him. We alphas
always think if we reject someone, they will go nuts after us. It is really the other way around.
We don’t take rejections too well.
I entered the room and examined the room while Jessica kept talking to herself. It was just when I was about to leave the room
that I remembered something.
“Maybe she left the building to take a stroll on the road,” Lazlo commented while dialing Enya’s number. I suspended my steps
while calculating the whole situation.
“Do you remember Jessica telling you someone marked her?” I asked Lazlo, who twitched his shoulders cluelessly.
“You know what? never mind. Enya first!” I stated, and began to look around for her.
