20. Chapter 202. I Am Her Mate‘s Favorite
“Was cheating on me your love for me? Why didn‘t you tell me instead of playing all these games with me?” I, too. raised my voic
e. We were standing in the abandoned part of the hotel and yelling at each other.
“And then what? I know you would have suggested sacrificing your life. I know you. You were ready to sprint into the fields for Thi
ago, even when you
knew you would die. I couldn‘t let you die for me. I had to make that decision. That was my punishment,” he gasped as he fought
to breathe, “I fucked up! I get it. But I did it
all for you. I just didn‘t have anybody to tell me the right way to do it. I had to push you away from me or convince myself I never
wanted to be with you. Because that was the easy way to cope with it. I knew you couldn‘t reject me. So, I had to find love some
where else to find the courage and strength to reject you,” he was sobbing when shouting at me.
After pouring his heart out, he waited for my reaction,
“It doesn‘t change the fact that you broke me,” I said in a much calmer tone this time. I could tell he was disappointed that I didn‘t
get his point.
“Tell your mate I will not listen to her when it comes to my mate,” I told him to convey the message to Christina before I walked p
ast him.
There was no other conversation left for us. We were finally done, honestly speaking, it wasn‘t hurting anymore.
“Lazlo!” I found him wandering in the hallway, probably looking for something.
“There you are! We need to talk.” He briskly walked closer and held my hand to force me to follow him to the rooftop
Once we were standing under the open sky, I watched Lazlo rub his hands over his face.
“I can‘t believe she is poisoning her brother,” Lazlo recalled that horrifying sight.
“I know, and I always felt like something was wrong. I just didn‘t know it was this twisted of a story.” I sighed,
“Now what? What do we do now?” Lazlo asked a question, as she expected me to conclude.
“I don‘t know. Zander isn‘t ready to accept the truth. He wouldn‘t let us tell anyone. If we did, he would come out and defend his s
ister, and then we would look like idiots,” I explained it all better to him. It wasn‘t like I didn‘t want to help Zander, but he didn‘t wa
nt to help himself.
“After you left, I got a minute alone with Zander. He expressed his confusion and even asked me if he was this weak because of t
he medicines. And I was shocked. He is aware of what his sister is doing to him. He just doesn‘t know why his wolf feels stuck an
d obliged to defend her.” Lazlo‘s conversation with Zander helped me to learn a lot.
It all came out of Zander‘s mouth; the victim. So he must have known something was up.
“Maybe it‘s the medicine she is feeding him? Maybe those medicines are making his wolf bound to her and obey her?” I suggest
ed while feeling goosebumps all over my skin.
“It is possible,” Lazlo said, “I hope you didn‘t talk to Thiago about it,” he said, and then suddenly changed the subject to Thiago. I
mean, you can if you want, but just know he — is that monster who —– marks and controls she–
wolves. If you confronted him on the spot, he would be on the lookout and be careful too,” Lazlo wasn‘t very loud when talking ab
out Thiago.
“I don‘t know. I still don‘t believe it. It is not like I don‘t believe you. But I feel like you saw it wrong. Maybe they were talking about
something else.” I was not just ready to accept that Thiago had betrayed me this badly.
“I know what I heard. Anyway, Zander said he has video proof, so let‘s see,” he talked about proof, I felt a knot being made in my
stomach.
“Yeah! Let‘s see. Maybe his Lycan is out of control” | slid in the possibility.
“It didn‘t seem like it was the Lycan that night, but whatever makes you feel better,” Lazlo commented dryly. I noticed the shift
in his attitude when I called him a liar a few hours ago.
He needed to understand why I was so scared of losing Thiago. I have loved Thiago as I have loved no
one ever. If | lose him too, it will be the worst feeling ever.
“I want to see that video,” I commented. I reckoned the curiosity would kill me if I did nothing sooner.
“Maynard is taking Christina out on a date tonight. Once she leaves, we can go talk to Zand–
Lazlo suddenly met a pause when he looked down the building and frowned.
“What?” I inquired, reaching the end and looking down at this height.
“Is it Thiago?” he questioned, watching Thiago stroll between the roads anxiously.
“Yeah! He left for a w–” I have only defended him when somebody else appeared into view.
“Jessica!” Lazlo murmured in concern.
I didn‘t say a word and kept watching Thiago and Jessica. She casually walked past him when she gently nuzzled her hand again
slid something into her hand.
“He gave her a note?” Lazlo turned to me just to make sure I saw it, too.
I was stuck in my spot, almost frozen.
I didn‘t answer him and sprinted downstairs. Jessica has something that my mate gave her. I need to see what it is.
I entered the room and found it empty, with Jessica alone. She had already read the note because now she was painting her nails
I didn‘t even know Lazlo had followed me to the room. I heard no other voices when rushing downstairs and only focused on my h
“Oh, hey!” Jessica mumbled, “My mate‘s favorite mate.” Her comment sank my heart into my chest.
“What do you mean by that?” I inquired with tear–filled eyes. Lazlo walked behind
her bed casually and reached for the note that was poking out from under the pillow.
“Haven‘t I told you before? My mate says you are his favorite, as you are so naïve yet powerful.” Her eyes shone with a bright ligh
