408-His Eyes On My Lips.
Her action and portrayal of what happened left me looking like a culprit.
"What did you do?" Lazio turned to me instantly after she left.
"I told you, I didn't do anything. She came in, snatching the stuff out of my hands and making big claims. I told her to mind her
own business and not to come between me and my mate," I said in a bit of an irritated tone. He was making me say all these
things in front of Maynard and Christina. I haven’t met them in years and now I was arguing with my mate in front of them.
I felt ashamed of everything that was happening around me and of being in that situation.
"Why did you have to downplay her hard work for me? If she told you not to touch the desk, just don't touch the desk. You are
new here. She has been here since I joined. I wouldn't let anyone disrespect her like that." Lazio sounded very upset when
talking back to me.
"And what about me? She was disrespectful. What about that?" I ran in his direction when I found him walking after her. "You're
not going after her," I finally declared.
His eyes made deeper eye contact with me when he heard me command him. Maynard held Christina's hand and walked out of
the room to give us privacy.
Now that we were alone, I felt like yelling at Lazio for letting me down in front of them. I made huge claims in front of Maynard
when I didn't accept him back and talked about my relationship with Lazio. Now he got to see how my mate was treating me, the
mate I spoke so highly of once upon a time.
"What was all that?" Lazio asked, shaking his head in disbelief.
"I am getting tired of everything. You took her side in front of them. Why?" I pulled closer and grabbed his collar. "There is a
restroom for you two with a mattress and honeymoon ambiance. What is that for?" I was finally talking my heart out. I wanted to
give it one last try before I hear from anyone in the future that I was selfish enough to not make an effort to save our relationship.
"You are getting sick, Enya. You losing powers, and your wolf has made you insecure. You want someone to stand beside you
and hold your hand every two steps you take, and I have grown up to do all that stuff. All I can say to you is to grow up. I cannot
be a Luna only. I am allowed to have business partners, to have friends, to have a life outside the cage of your mate bond," he
scoffed when mentioning our mate bond.
"I am going to bring her back, and if you have a problem with that, you can stay at home." He gripped my wrists and freed
himself. The pressure he applied almost made me let out a yelp.
Soon he walked out of the room and left me behind to suffer. The fact that I lost after winning made me want to scream at the top
of my lungs. Dropping to my knees, I stared into space in silence for a moment before I broke down.
It felt awful to be me now.
I got up and walked all the way to the window to stare at the cloudy sky. The dark clouds have darkened the world; it was going
to rain soon.
"I know my mother was a horrible person and she ruined many lives, but what did I do wrong? The witches and their ancestors
punished me and you didn't do anything for me. I was not a bad person, so why steal everything from me? Not only did I lose my
powers, but my wolf and my ma—te too," I paused to sob when the mention of Thiago slipped my tongue.
"Ah! Thiago!" placing my hands on my chest, I let out a deep breath when remembering him.
"Where are you now? You seemed to have made my security your priority, but where are you now? How did you think that giving
up your life for me promises a good life for me? How did you think I will be treated right after you?" I complained, my hand
turning into a fist as I felt this pain in my heart.
As I cried some more, my cellphone beeped on the table. In order to avoid crying more, I walked over to check my phone. It
hasn't rung in years. The only time I would get anyone's call is when Janet calls me or someone from Thiago's pack calls me to
give me good wishes.
They were the only ones who looked at me differently now. Every time I would go to his pack, I would be surrounded by the pack
members. They said they look at me with love because they know their alpha loves me.
"Unknown caller ID?" I frowned, staring at the empty message from the unknown caller. Someone must have sent it to me by
mistake.
Before I could set my phone down, another message popped up, and this time it was a funny meme. I stared at the meme for a
moment, and a reluctant smile crept over my lips.
"Well, whoever it was for, I am glad it came to me. At least it made me smile a bit," I said and put my phone down. Lazio never
returned to the office after that. I was alone in the office and staring out the window, watching the thunderstorm eat up the
silence.
"May I?" Maynard's arrival was a surprise to me. Since Lazio wasn't around, I didn't quite get why he decided to come over.
"Sure. But Lazio is not here." I shrugged my shoulders, pouting a little and keeping my emotions under control.
"It is okay. I didn't come here for him," he said, making his way toward my desk in an alarming way. His eyes were fixated on my
face the whole time.
"Is there anything you want me to do for you?" I asked, pointing at the files and improvising that maybe he wanted some files.
"Yes!" he said, his eyes falling down to my lips.
