334 Open Relationship
After Walsh wouldn‘t shut up, Christina hit him on the head and . knocked him out once again. We didn‘t take him to the principal yet. The boys decided to leave and go to the bar. The timing was a bit odd. They didn‘t even speak to me and left.
“I am sorry for what that guy said. He was trying to get under our skins and turn us against you.” Christina arrived from behind me and sat down with me on the front porch.
“At least you understand his motives. I don‘t think the boys took it like you,” I sighed as I kept staring at the tall trees.
“I don‘t think they will be stupid enough to take her words seriously,” she uttered
“Christina! These guys are alphas with big egos. They take everything seriously when it is about them getting deceived.” Although I was talking to her about Maynard and Lazlo, my mind couldn‘t stop worrying about Thiago. It‘s been so long since he and I connected. I wonder if he feels the same way about me now.
“A few drinks in and they will return to being themselves.” She let out a little laugh to cheer me up, but when it didn‘t work, she tried another attempt.
“Here!” she held my hand out and rested a key in my palm. “This is the key to the library at our mansion,” she paused after recalling Zander. “My mansion. I heard you have been wanting to find answers, so I think you should start from there. My father used to collect all sorts of forbidden books about monsters and hybrids. I am sure I have seen
some research on Lycans in the library. I am sending you the address: Just go explore it. I pray you to find something to help Thiago,” she was really considerate. I was beginning to see why Maynard liked her. She handed me the key and began typing the address into her phone for me.
“Why was your father so interested in finding out about monsters?” I asked, and she let out a deep sigh.
“My uncle was a monster, or everybody called him that. My father thought my mom cheated on my dad with that uncle, and, hence, Zander was born. When he rejected my mother‘s plan to go behind his back and take Zander to my uncle, my mother was forced to live a life as a nanny.” It seemed like she was on the verge of crying but was holding her tears in.
“Why did your mother take Zander to your uncle?” I questioned.
“Because he was the only one who could understand what was wrong with Zander. She just wanted help, but I guess it confirmed my father‘s suspicions. Anyway, my father tried to take care of us, but his hatred for our uncle ruined everything. He got caught harassing everyone and trying to find out about the monsters. Alpha Yale kicked him out of the pack, so he continued his research as a rogue. However, my uncle found us, but he soon left us because, well, he couldn‘t take care of two little babies when he was himself a monster. He came back into our lives later on and even promised to take care of us. It was around one year and a few months ago, but then he vanished. As rogues, we never found out what happened to him,” she suddenly stopped talking and checked her phone, “The boys are coming back. I will monitor Walsh while you two go get the books. I don‘t think Thiago has any
more time left, Enya. We need to hurry,” she suggested, and I agreed. with her. I was thankful to her for staying with me when I needed some support.
