“Was cheating on me your love for me? Why didn‘t you tell me instead of playing all these games with me?” I, too. raised my voice. We were standing in the abandoned part of the hotel and yelling at each other.
“And then what? I know you would have suggested sacrificing your life. I know you. You were ready to sprint into the fields for Thiago, even when you knew you would die. I couldn‘t let you die for me. I had to make that decision. That was my punishment,” he gasped as he fought to breathe, “I fucked up! I get it. But I did it all for you. I just didn‘t have anybody to tell me the right way to do it. I had to push you away from me or convince myself I never wanted to be with you. Because that was the easy way to cope with it. I knew you couldn‘t reject me. So, I had to find love somewhere else to find the courage and strength to reject you,” he was sobbing when shouting at me.
After pouring his heart out, he waited for my reaction,
“It doesn‘t change the fact that you broke me,” I said in a much calmer tone this time. I could tell he was disappointed that I didn‘t get his point.
“Tell your mate I will not listen to her when it comes to my mate,” I told him to convey the message to Christina before I walked past him.
There was no other conversation left for us. We were finally done, honestly speaking, it wasn‘t hurting anymore.
“Lazlo!” I found him wandering in the hallway, probably looking for something.
“There you are! We need to talk.” He briskly walked closer and held my hand to force me to follow him to the rooftop
Once we were standing under the open sky, I watched Lazlo rub his hands over his face.
“I can‘t believe she is poisoning her brother,” Lazlo recalled that horrifying sight.
“I know, and I always felt like something was wrong. I just didn‘t know it was this twisted of a story.” I sighed,
“Now what? What do we do now?” Lazlo asked a question, as she expected me to conclude.
“I don‘t know. Zander isn‘t ready to accept the truth. He wouldn‘t let us tell anyone. If we did, he would come out and defend his sister, and then we would look like idiots,” I explained it all better to him. It wasn‘t like I didn‘t want to help Zander, but he didn‘t want to help himself.
“After you left, I got a minute alone with Zander. He expressed his confusion and even asked me if he was this weak because of the medicines. And I was shocked. He is aware of what his sister is doing to him. He just doesn‘t know why his wolf feels stuck and obliged to defend her.” Lazlo‘s conversation with Zander helped me to learn a lot.
It all came out of Zander‘s mouth; the victim. So he must have known something was up.
“Maybe it‘s the medicine she is feeding him? Maybe those medicines are making his wolf bound to her and obey her?” I suggested while feeling goosebumps all over my skin.
“It is possible,” Lazlo said, “I hope you didn‘t talk to Thiago about it,” he said, and then suddenly changed the subject to Thiago. I mean, you can if you want, but just know he — is that monster who —– marks and controls she–wolves. If you confronted him on the spot, he would be on the lookout and be careful too,” Lazlo wasn‘t very loud when talking about Thiago.
“I don‘t know. I still don‘t believe it. It is not like I don‘t believe you. But I feel like you saw it wrong. Maybe they were talking about something else.” I was not just ready to accept that Thiago had betrayed me this badly.
“I know what I heard. Anyway, Zander said he has video proof, so let‘s see,” he talked about proof, I felt a knot being made in my stomach.
“It didn‘t seem like it was the Lycan that night, but whatever makes you feel better,” Lazlo commented dryly. I noticed the shift in his attitude when I called him a liar a few hours ago.
“Yeah! He left for a w–” I have only defended him when somebody else appeared into view.
