156-A Request To Spend Time Together.
âWhat did you say? I tried to get his attention but he was grinning and watching Lazlo only.
âDonât say that,â Lazlo disapproved of his words and shook his head at him to not start again.
âDonât worry, I will not expose your monster mateâs secret as long as he doesnât hurt anybody else,â
Maynard gave up and turned to grunt at me. My heart sank in my chest when I heard him accuse
Thiago confidently of killing Gina.
âThiago didnât do that. He is not a monster, he is only cursed,â I muttered, making tight fists out of my
hands and glaring at him.
âOkay! Prove it. Do you even know anything about his Lycan?â he seemed so confident that I had to
turn my face to the side from him.
âI am sorry, Maynard. But I will have to agree with her on this,â as Lazlo defended me, he also made it
clear that he wasnât on my side in the other matter and even Maynard caught it.
âAh! So you agree she was bullshitting me all this time?â There! there! I knew Maynard would be happy
to hear someone was taking his side.
âAre we still discussing that?â I asked carelessly, âDonât you too have another mate? Willow?â that was
it, if he was going to talk shit about me, so will i.
âWhat?â Lazloâs mouth parted and a gasp mixed with a word came out.
âYou never told us you had another mate,â Lazlo continued to complain whilst Maynard was only
glaring me in the eye without breaking the eye contact.
âThat is all you got?â Maynard looked at ease, â1 rejected her long ago without even touching her with a
stick,â he yelled in my face and it was time that Lazlo meets another surprise.
âYou wanted me to reject her so I did. You were crying when you found out I have another mate. I did it
all for you and what did you do? You made me reject my second mate and then you went ahead to
accept your mother mates. DO YOU NOT SEE WHY I AM SO FRUSTRATED?â he was shouting and
breaking down.
I didnât budge.
But Lazlo looked at me in disgust and disappointment. Tears slowly began to form in my eyes when
watching them gang up on me.
âIf you are so frustrated that you lost her, why donât you go and plead with her to be with you?â i stated
but it only received harsh reactions.
âEnya! he rejected her for you. At least respect that. Donât make him feel like he was a fool enough to
do it for you,â Lazlo had to jump in. He was on Maynardâs side for sure.
I donât see where I was wrong!
âReally?â i frowned at Lazlo for constantly trying to make me feel guilty.
âYour audacity is surprising,â Maynard calmed down when he saw me not showing care for him.
Lazlo too sided with him and shook his head at me. I was getting crucified for doing a very small deed.
âAnyway, I want you to not take it out on Thiago,â I ignored everything else and focused on Thiagoâs
secret only.
* It is not like you are the only one who cares about Thiago.â Lazloâs comment and scoff upset me
deeply. He had been giving me looks and passing comments nonstop. So I had to step up to shut him
down.
âStay out of my business, Lazlo. You have said enough and I have heard eo-â I was talking to Lazlo,
making him frown at me when Maynardâs phone rang in his hand.
He gestured at us to remain silent and attended the call.
âYes? Oh! Okay. Yeah!â as he was talking to someone, he didnât look away from me, âI will be there with
my mate,â he said with an annoyed look on his face.
He then proceeded to talk to the person but had left the cabin. I was now left behind in bewilderment,
where was he taking me?
âWe need to find more on Thiagoâs Lycan so that we can help him,â Forcing myself to not think about
Maynard, I told Lazlo about how urgent it is to get information on Lycans.
âNot we, I will do it alone,â I didnât know my act of sleeping with Thiago would upset Lazlo so much. He
was angry because I cheated on Maynard or was he angry that he wasnât the one I cheated on
Maynard with?
âWhat is wrong with you?â I asked, desperately wanting to know what had been going on in his head.
âYou are-not the person I thought of you as. I wanted to be accepted and be with you, sure. But the
way you sneakily sent your address in the group and fucked â- and then you didnât even look guilty. I
reckoned it was a blessing in disguise that we never got together. I wouldnât want to be mates with
someone who isâ â He pressed his lips into a tight line but I knew what he was about to say.
âA whore?â i bobbed my head, tears streaming down my eyes.
âThis is not what I W-,â he was trying to talk when I interrupted him.
âLazlo! if I wanted to sleep with everyone, I know I would have done it and nobody would have resisted
me. Not even you! Itâs just funny how nobody knows what I am going through and â â I couldnât talk
anymore as the tears rushed out of my eyes, choking me on my words.
âI was not calling you any name. It is just weird to me because I didnât expect you to be so cold heart.1
-â Lazlo didnât finish because once again, we were interrupted.
âThat was my mother,â Maynard entered the room when our conversation ended abruptly, âIt is dadâs
birthday and she wants me to attend it with my mate. I know you have obligations and another mate to
stick to but I would appreciate it if you will spend some time and come with me to the pack. It will only
be a few hours, but it will mean a lot to my father,â he was talking in a low tone now. I have noticed it
many times that he was much more attached to his dad than his mother.
âPlease?â he requested, turning his face to the side.
I found Lazlo watching my face to see what kind of a she-wolf I was because apparently, he had been
reading me a lot to judge me.
âFine, when is it?â I asked in a defeated tone. Lazloâs quizzical stares had been bothering me now. Who
likes to be judged? Nobody! â
Talking to Maynard was like weird now after everything happened. I had been loyal to him and loved
him dearly. He shouldnât be looking at me as if I am the bad person here when the reality is not even
close to it.
âTomorrow,â he answered. His eyes narrowed down on my face as he waited for my response. I
bobbed my head because now I had to be with him tomorrow.
It is going to be so awkward going out with him again.
