245 The Snake Up My Sleeves
Thiago's POV:
"Now I want to be left alone," Enya said while slowly drifting into slumber. Lazio held her tightly so that she didn't fall to the ground. This
was such a big thing, and I didn't even know about it. I was shocked, hurt, and felt betrayed.
I got out of the car to storm into the woods and calm down before I met them back in the academy
"AHHHH!" I howled, punching and kicking the trees while crying like a maniac.
"WHY! WHY!" I yelled as I demanded the Moon Goddess to tell me what sin I had ever committed that she wouldn't let me have
a moment in peace.
'Ah! You lost your baby,' Theo laughed at me when reminding me I lost a chance to be happy again.
Can you shut up once?' I requested, feeling heat burning my head.
'Let me take over. I will calm you down quickly,' Theo suggested. He had been trying to convince me to start letting him transition
more and more, but that idea, to me, was not a good one. If he gets too comfortable, he will take over me forever, and then I will
be trapped inside this body while he will be the owner.
'I am fine,' I muttered.
Even after seeing her in Lazio's arms. I mean, she moved on so quickly. You took time to heal from her cheating, and she turned
the blame on you once again. Gosh! She is one clever cookie.' Theo laughed at me like always.
'She is not the one to be blamed for. I made a mistake by trusting Lazio.' It ripped my heart open when I confided in Lazio and
expected him to help me, but he took that chance and turned Enya against me.
'Oh! Everybody wants a piece of her. And let's be honest. You didn't expose him either. And you have been texting him and
telling him you will come back soon to have a word with Enya. You even told him you were not mad at her, but what did he do?
He lied to her and told her you are coming back to reject her. That’s what I am talking about. This world will never accept you.
Everybody will play you over, and their excuse will be much simpler. Hey! We were afraid you would turn into a monster and hurt
her, so we think
you are not a better fit.' Theo reminded me how everything boils down to me being a Lycan, and he wasn't wrong.
'That’s why I didn't tell the truth. I don't want her to hate Lazio. Somebody needs to stay beside her. I mean, it is not like he had
bad intentions for her, he just happens to not care how I will feel.' I was left beyond shattered that Lazio took advantage of me.
The only reason I kept his nasty secret was that I didn't want Enya to be alone. Now that there has been more danger
approaching from everywhere and with that monster wanting to mark her, I want all her mates to stay around her and protect her.
'Thiago! It's not like you will live forever. Your life is short. Soon I will take over, and trust me, I will not let go of that command. It will be
better if you fix things between Lazio and Enya and say your peace,' Theo suggested, sounding genuine.
Little did he know I would rather kill him than let him take over my body and hurt others. But this loss made me realize one thing: I am too
toxic for her. My curse extended to her and made her deal with this loss. I need to leave after I fix a perfect life for her with a better mate
that isn't me.
I will still go have a word with Lazio. I lost the opportunity to be there for Enya. Hadi not felt something was wrong, I would have never
arrived here today.'l was increasingly getting angrier by still trying to control myself.
I walked out of the woods, thinking about Enya and how sad she must be to know she lost our baby. I saw the anger and frustration in her
eyes. I needed to speak to Lazio. Once I made my way back to the academy, I texted Lazio to meet me in the backyard of the school.
There were questions he needed to answer and come clean about.
"You called for me?" Lazio asked, walking in my direction but keeping a safe distance from us. "Why did you lie to me?" Now that we were
face to face, I wanted to punch him in the guts, but I wasn't raising my hand for the sake of Enya.
"I did what I had to do. You were gone anyway. I needed her toaccept me as a true mate.
I was sick and tired of being her last choice." There it was, the greed of havingher for himself only. "So you lied to us? When did I say I will
reject her? I said she has me blocked, and you said you spoke to her and she told you that she needs some time and I need to respect
that. So I fucking did. That was all a lie? All these days I kept thinking how she was the one who blocked me when I was the hurt one. And
you would constantly tell me she wants to peruse things with you. You sent me a picture of her sleeping in your arms on the rooftop as
proof she wasn't you now. Fine! You were a douchebag who lied about respecting the rules and boundaries, but why did you fill poison in
her ears against me?" I was feeling this urge to transition. It was as if I wanted to burst into flames. Do anything explosive. "I told you,
Thiago, I wanted her to accept me and only me," Lazio said as he lowered his face in shame and stole eyes from me. "Now I know why
Maynard never took your seriously," as soon as is said those words, Lazio raised his face to look me in the eye, "He knew you were not
worthy of his trust or anybody's trust," I muttered while taking a deep breath. "Now! I am not going to expose you to her because, unlike
you, I don't want to be selfish when she has a monster chasing after her. But if you lied to her again, I will be the first one to snatch your
tongue out and tie it around your neck," I walked closer to him and muttered in his face. "I will never lie to her, I love her," he shamelessly
admitted while looking me in the eye. "If only you had told me in time that she was abducted, we hadn't have lost our baby," Those were
the last words I told him before I stepped back from him. "And there ends another friendship," I declared, and watched his eyes grow in
size. If he still thought we could be friends after he didn't tell me she was missing and we lost our child, then he is a fool.
