181-In Stranger’s Arms
“Shut the fuck up, Maynard!” I didn’t let the others defend me and yelled at him. I have been shaken up by my interaction with Zander and Christina already. The last thing I need is some weirdo to pass comments on me.
“Excuse me?” Maynard definitely didn’t expect me to talk back to him. I was beginning to realize I should have slapped him when I had time. He deserved my harsh attitude and taunts. Because now he was assuming I was soft towards him because I still have feelings for him.
“Maynard! Go fuck off somewhere else.” Thiago now came between us to save me from Maynard’s angry glare. I bet he knew I cannot use magic anymore until I am fully healed, so Maynard was instigating me.
“Fine. But ask her why she was so worried about him. She acts like she doesn’t want another mate but when nobody else is around, she leads her mates on,” that comment got me clenching my jaw.
“Leave before I forget what consequences I will face when using my magic,” i warned him and he only rolled his eyes before walking past us and leaving us alone to have a discussion.
“What he said—- you were taking care of him?” Lazlo didn’t even wait for Maynard to disappear entirely and questioned me.
“Calm down.” Thiago eyed him and took over the matter. “What happened to him?” he asked, instead of asking me why I was in the room with Zander.
“He collapsed on the floor so I took him inside,” I told him about the incident. “He was acting weird,” I added.
* And yet you thought being in the room with him is a good idea. Why were you concerned for him?” Lazlo was interrupting me by only focusing on one thing.
“What do you mean by weird?” Thiago had a completely different approach to the subject.
“When he touched my wrist,” I couldn’t even finish because Lazlo scoffed and turned around to pace around anxiously while running his hand through his hair.
“I felt this heat coming from his body that I have never felt before,” once I finished, I got the exact response I was expecting from Lazlo.
“Great! So in short, our wolves are cold bastards, but his warm-blooded wolf transferred his heat just by touching your wrist.” Lazlo had finally gotten under my skin. But I waited for Thiago’s response.
“Oh!” he looked upset. “Did he say something? Or maybe talked about the mate bond?” pushing his emotions to the side, he asked me.
“He tried to tell me why I need to accept all the mates,” I answered and watched Lazio, who with every single word was scoffing at me.
“Hmm!” Thiago murmured, “Try to not stay alone with him. When a wolf is under such heat, they usually make mistakes,” he finished, without putting too much pressure on his words.
“Yeah! Stay away from him will be a good start,” as Lazlo repeated it in a bit of an off tone. I decided to speak to him finally.
“I am sorry! Do you not trust me at all?” I finally raised my voice at Lazlo. How Thiago responded to this situation sounded as if he didn’t trust Zander but Lazlo was straightly talking as if I was the problem because I wanted to get near Zander.
