143-She Knows
“Soak the towel in cold water and bring it here, quickly!” her scream directed at me woke me up from my frozen state. I did what she said. Bringing the water with cold water dripping down, I handed it over to her.
She started dabbing the towel on his chest to calm him down. I noticed how she directly put it on his chest to normalize the rhythm of his heart.
After some time, he started to calm down. But she didn’t get off him. I was beyond uncomfortable. I know it was not the best time to even think about anything else but I couldn’t when she was sitting on top of him with her eyes stuck to his face.
“Zander! Bring me the wolfbane from my bag,” she said calmly yet in urgency. He turned around and grabbed her bag to bring an injection of wolfbane. The moment she injected him with wolfbane, Lazlo and I shared a glance.
Who even keeps wolfbane in their bag like that?
It was an uncomfortable moment for all of us. Once Thiago began to pass out, she got off him and discarded the injection in the trash can.
“Don’t put it in here. If the room keeper finds it here, we will all get questioned for it,” Lazlo stated very arrogantly, I bet he was thinking exactly what I was thinking.
This was just too odd.
Christina didn’t argue back with him and trashed the injection in her bag this time after wrapping it perfectly in a tissue.
“Why do you have that thing anyway?” Lazlo, after straightening his posture, questioned her.
“She helped your sicko friend, is it not enough?” Zander scoffed as he sat down in the bed, “And what the heck is wrong with him? what kind of a monster is he?” he continued to question.
It was really sad that Thiago had to display his transition like that. I wished we could do something to avoid it happening. But as the time was running by, Thiago was losing his control and his wolf was able to force a shift more often.
“He is not a monster,” I retorted, watching Christina fold her arms over her chest and not interrupt us for once.
*There is certainly something wrong with him. Did you not see him act all messed up? What would have happened if he had shifted?” Zander was questioning Thiago’s state a lot, “Besides, does he has anything to do with um —-” he paused, scratching his neck as he tried to be sneaky about questioning his state.
“No! of course not. He was with us when Gina was attacked,” I lied, getting an appreciative head nod from Lazio.
“Oh!” Zander didn’t like to hear that. I could tell he wanted Thiago to get in trouble.
“Maybe he was just tired and since he is the Alpha, his wolf is more powerful than ours.” I was surprised when Christina sided with us. Both Lazlo and I sneakily watched each other’s faces before Zander shook his head again.
“Then he should be able to control his wolf,” Zander argued,
“What is your problem? His wolf wanted to shift and kill you. Thiago was preventing it, fighting against his wolf for you. Shouldn’t you be thankful of him that he went through all this pain just to prevent his wolf from hurting you?” Christina spoke bitterly to her brother.
I didn’t get why she was defending Thiago so hard. Or maybe it was related to the intentions she had displayed the other day.
“Anyway, if you two are done already, I would suggest you leave. Thiago needs rest,” Lazlo voiced out while standing beside Thiago’s bed and watching him sleep peacefully.
