324 The Sound In The At
“Thank you. We can go back home and fix everything. Okay?” Christina said, slowly walking towards him because we had to walk past him in order to get out of there.
“Okay,” He nodded.
“Now! We will go to my car and leave in my car, okay?” She repeated it once again, making sure Zander was agreeing with her.
She was being very careful with him because he could change his mind at any moment. The moment we were about to pass him, he grabbed my hand and snatched me away from his sister. It happened so abruptly that I couldn‘t even comprehend for a moment what had just happened.
He had pressed a silver knife to my throat when making me face his sister.
“You think I am a fool?” He yelled, his voice attacking my ears directly
“Zander! What are you doing? Please just stop,” once could hear the panic in her voice.
“No! Do you really think things will go back to normal after we leave? I have confessed to all my crimes; she will fucking get me arrested for the murders.” He was yelling and putting so much pressure on my neck that I understood he was
panicking now that his sister got involved.
“She will not. You remember she wanted to help her mates? She will help you too,” His sister was begging him to let me go, but I realized he wasn‘t going to set me free. Not after he had confessed to everything.
“I don‘t care. I am not taking any risks. She will leave with me. We will go start off fresh, away from everyone, and if anybody tries to follow us, I will fucking kill her.” Zander warned his sister, whose eyes grew big when hearing his threats.
“Zander! I know you don‘t mean it. You are just doing it because your wolf makes you do it. Please, let us help you.” Obviously, she didn‘t know much about her brother. Or maybe he had convinced her in the past that it was his wolf who wanted the evil fantasies to come true.
“Christina! Oh, my innocent sister. It had never been my wolf, it had always been me.” He clicked his tongue, making her face change colors.
“I told you it was my wolf, and you believed it. But I am sorry, it wasn‘t. My wolf listens to me. I am the one in charge,” He started explaining and hurting her even more. She looked like she had her whole life flashed before her.
“Sol protected you while you killed innocent she–wolves?” She whispered. It was almost as if she was talking to herself.
“It is not your fault. And neither is it mine. So what if I did it? It doesn‘t change the fact that we are twins? I care about you. Even my wolf was never allowed to hurt you. That is because we siblings are meant to stick together and help each other out.” Zander was now back to manipulating her into taking his side.
“Don‘t listen to him. He doesn‘t care about anyone. He lied to you for so long, even convincing us that you are this toxic sister who is poisoning him,” I began to say, but he pressed the knife harder as a warning and I stopped talking.
“Why would you think I was poisoning him?” She asked, bewildered.
“Fine, I am ready to forgive you for everything,” Her giving up scared me, “But there is a cost to it,” she added. I didn‘t like how they were now making deals.
“If you want me to forgive you, you will have to let her go,” her demand put the agitation in my body to rest. I stared at her and then noticed the tears in her eyes.
