139- The Forced Marking Monster
“This is ridiculous,” Maynard got on his feet to express his disapproval of the information.
“I will just head downstairs. It’s too much for me to talk about right now,” Thiago got on his feet, his veins popping visible from his temples. I have stressed him out, it seemed.
“Are you okay?” Lazlo questioned but Thiago didn’t stop and rushed downstairs.
“Ah!” Lao exhaled tiredly
“How can you even talk about this so casually?” Maynard turned to me. I watched him rock back and forth anxiously.
“It’s not like she is behind this cursed night. She is only a messenger,” Lazlo grunted at Maynard for giving me a hard time instead of helping me out
“Thank you, Lazio. At least one of you is using his brain,” I complimented him right before Maynard’s eyes, who rolled his eyes in response.
“Of course he is. He is the one who will be getting you that night. Why would he object?” Maynard shrugged his shoulders angrily
“Fine, if this is how you are going to act then I would rather just sit and wait for the night to come.” I sounded exhausted already. I’ve already dealt with a lot of bullshit; this argument was the last thing I wanted.
“Argh! No! Wait. We need to find a solution to this problem,” Maynard urged I to stay behind.
I watched him snap his fingers when an idea popped up in his head, “How about you just reject your mates? there it was. I knew he would suggest that.
“Excuse you! How is that the only option?” Lazlo didn’t hold back. I was honestly stuck now.
“Why? She has already chosen me. What are you waiting for then? Just reject her or accept her rejection and get over it,’ Maynard made a good point but he forgot nobody would want to reject their mate and weaken their wolf until they have found a new second chance mate.
“Neither of us wants to deal with this right now. Besides, you should worry about Corbin too. Why don’t you go and take her to him to accept the rejection and be over with it?” Lazlo mocked Maynard for not being able to react the same way to Corbin.
“Guys! Stop okay? How about– how about I leave this academy for a few days? I will stay somewhere and not tell anyone about you. The eclipse will stay a few hours only. I know you will be able to follow my scent but you will not be able to leave the academy to come to collect me wherever I am. Or even if you do, it will take some time for you to follow me and find me. If I have already left the place days ago, my scent will no longer be there in the air. It will not be easy for you to locate me; how does that sound?” I asked and the two looked a little at ease.
“In the meantime, Oswin had promised to find an herb to stop Corbin. I believe it will be only able to prevent one of my mates, that should be him.” I was just saying what Oswin has told me earlier.
“Why is Oswin helping you?” Maynard frowned, I bet he was just ready to fight anyone off.
“Because I’m like a sister to him. Do you have an issue with that too?” I raised my voice and then acknowledged I cannot be hard on him. It is definitely not easy for him to imagine me with anyone just like I cannot imagine him with anyone else.
“Babe! I’m only yours,” As I held his hand and snuggled in his arms, Lazlo turned his face away from us.
“Now le-” I have only broken the hug to talk to Maynard and discuss the plan with him when blood-curdling screams caught our attention.
It felt like somebody was crying and screaming for help.
We all shared a glance before rushing downstairs to see what happened. The owner of the voice was an Omega she-wolf.
As we reached the last floor, we were stunned to see all the blood on the ground and everybody out of their rooms to check up on the commotion.
