491-Watched Her Slip Away
Theo’s POV:
I watched her stare at me, and I knew in that moment that I had fucked up. I didn't even crack a smile as I stood there, planning where I would flee if she attacked me.
Lazio and Maynard gulped loudly, slowly striding behind me like cowards. I wasn't scared of her, but I didn't want them to rely on me when I couldn't rely on myself.
"Why?" She got up from her feet and asked me, "Did you not know how much losing you hurt me?' Her voice broke, and her eyebrows slid together as she expressed her pain through her expressions.
"I kn—," I couldn't say another word because she wasn't done yet.
"I have cried for you for two years, Theo. Is that not enough? Why would you make me go through that pain again?“ She whimpered, refusing to come closer to me.
I understand what I did was wrong, but only because the circumstances were different. Right now, we need to make sure Nia wakes up.
"You think you are the only one who suffers?" I finally spoke to her, and she let me say, "Enya! I feel as devastated as you do when we are not together. This match has become my fear. I was dreading sending you to the match without a wolf. And I knew the only you could feel the anger and that Nia will wake up is when you will go through something similar to last time. And look! It worked!" I explained to her, watching her stop crying and stare at my face in silence.
I can only imagine how she felt when she saw me dying. But that would help her survive.
"Besides, you slapping Lazio was the highlight of the night.’ I suddenly added, and the little smile she gave me comforted my soul.
Yeah! That was hard," Lazio complained, rubbing his cheek.
"Thank goodness I stepped away when I realized she was losing her shit," Maynard added, making her frown at the two of them.
After she was done glaring at them, her eyes traveled back to me, and a smile plastered across her lips once again.
"Come here!" I spread my arms for her, and, without wasting a minute, she ran into my arms. I closed my arms around her and felt her body heat up against mine. If these two were not around, I would have instantly stripped her naked and had the wildest sex with her. But I didn't want her to use her energy before the match.
"Okay! That's really something. I got slapped, he got yelled at, and he is getting all the hugs,“ Lazio complained, waving his hand at us.
"Go get a hug from your own mate, I scoffed, watching him mimic me with overdramatic expressions.
"Okay, now that she got her wolf, we should head back and start training her," Maynard told us, and that's when Enya broke the hug to look at him.
