223-Maybe I Am A Curse!
“Thiago! What are you saying?” My heart pounded in my head as tears blurred my vision.
“It can‘t be over.” | covered my mouth with my hands when he only shook his head and stepped farther away from me.
“It‘s not going to work anymore.” He said it again, “I will not reject you, but I will keep the rules in my mind since your other mates didn‘t respect them.” It was an obvious hint that he would not be the
same anymore.
“I gave you a chance in the past,” I murmured, tearing up.
“For using your magic to find my parents‘ killer. This situation is different from that one. Not only did you betray me and choose the one mate I told you not to accept, but you were also planning to kill me. I don‘t know how I can stick around and think you are not ready to stab me whenever somebody tells you I am a mo––––nster.” His voice broke as he murmured.
“It won‘t happen again.” I was guilty of hurting him.
“You know the problem is–,” he paused, “I always believed I was a monster, but you! You and Lazlo convinced me I was not. You two made me feel valuable. I, for once, thought I could lead a normal, happy life. But on the first side of trouble, you two left me behind.” He shook his head as he swallowed the tears.
“I need some time for myself,” he whispered in his mouth. “You are free from the monster. You can do whatever you please, Enya. I will not come in your way anymore.” He finished talking and got on his feet to leave.
I broke down in tears the instant he left. My heart felt like it was getting stabbed repeatedly. I had my hands on my face while I knelt on the ground and cried.
‘We messed up our mate,‘ Nia murmured,
“Enya!” Lazlo appeared in sight to comfort me. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me over his chest as I cried for Thiago.
“I messed up,” I whimpered, breaking the hug and looking Lazlo in the eye.
“It was a mistake,” Lazlo consoled. “Let‘s take you out of here first.” Lazlo helped me get up on my feet and walked me out of the woods. I didn‘t want to stay behind and see what the others were doing.
Lazlo took me to his cabin instead of the academy. I needed some time away from everybody else.
“Drink it while it is hot,” he said as he handed me a hot cup of coffee. It was extremely cold outside, and my mind couldn‘t stop worrying about Thiago.
“He hates me now,” I whispered, holding the mug in my hands to warm my palms.
“He does not,” Lazlo uttered.
“He told me he needed a break from me. I can tell you it is all over between us. He probably doesn‘t
“Only if my mates are on the same page. I can‘t promise them something and then back out. Besides, what if Thiago gets a new mate and he wants to accept her too? I would die if I saw him with anyone else. I am such a hypocrite,” I sighed, understanding everything and also the fact that I was wrong.
“You think your mates are cursed?” he asked, taking an interest in what I had to say.
