309 He Only Wanted Sex?
We woke up earlier than Christina so that I can sneak out on a date with Zander before she catches us.
âDo you have to do this right now?â Zander rolled his eyes at me when I left him on the front porch and
ran inside to see Thiago. I know he was upstairs but he was heavily sedated so I wanted to steal a
glance at his face before I head out.
I had worn a red short dress as Zander demanded. Christina and Maynard were still cuddling on the
mattress when I sneakily went upstairs to see Thiago. He looked so pale when lying there that it broke
my heart.
âThiago!â I said his name, my energy going down at the sight of him, âWell, look you if you donât wake
up, somebody else will steal me away from you forever. Zander is taking me out on a date,â I said as I
sat down in the chair and watched him breathe peacefully.
âI just donât know what to do. I cannot believe you have reached a point whereâââ,â | paused when I
recalled the gray in his eyes changing color. He was headed to a deadâend and it was happening fast.
âI will just go get rid of this date and come back for you, okay? Please donât let your lycan steal you
away from me,â I got up from the chair and walked over to him, bending down and planting a kiss to his
forehead. I swear I heard him groan but when I raised my face, he was still sleeping like he was never
going to wake up. The thought itself was killing me.
âSee you later,â I said even when he couldnât hear me. I walked out of the room and headed straight to
the exit before Christina wakes up and questions where I was headed. I walked on the two mates of
mine glaring into each otherâs
souls.
âSo, all set to go?â Zander asked, stepping ahead to make me follow him.
âJust one sec,â I said, turning to Lazlo, âPlease donât stress out too much. Before you know it, I will be
home,â I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck and got on my toes to kiss him. He instantly
pulled me closer and crashed our lips together.
âHuh!â Zander growled from behind us.

âTake care of Thiago and Maynard,â I told Lazlo, breaking the kiss and walking away with Zander.
âYou are meeting them all as if you are planning to elope with me,â I know Zander liked finding humor in
stressful situations. He didnât like how I had to hug all my mates and kiss them goodbye before heading
out with him.
âFor all I know, you could be abducting me,â I joked and found him scowl uncomfortably, âIt was a joke,
geez! Calm down,â | rolled my eyes, silently following him to his car.
The moment we sat down, Zander turned on the music. He was doing his best to get me in a pleasant
mood.
âSo, tell me about your childhood,â Zander asked me, his eyes on the road as he kept driving happily.
âI donât remember too much of my real parents.â I said, playing with my fingers as I felt guilty for taking
too long into finding out about them.
âWhat about your adoptive parents?â he then proceeded to
ask.
âFor starters, they never treated me as their daughter. They only took me in because the Alpha King
paid them a heavy amount for me. He wanted a decent family for me and well, he then never checked
up on how they were treating that little kid he gave them.â I didnât like talking about my childhood.
Those memories were too depressing for me. But since he wanted to know about my past, I thought
maybe sharing it with him wonât hurt anyone.
âAha!â Zander mumbled, âSome people can never make good parents,â he sighed.
âWhat about you? I am sure your foster parents were just as bad,â I said as I remembered the twins
talking badly about them.
âWell, for starters, my supposed father accused my mother of cheating on him, and then after kicking
her out, he just went on a spree to find out about the man she cheated with on him,â Zanderâs voice
almost broke down before he pulled himself together and smiled at the road.
âSo, what happened then?â | asked.
âIt is complicated. He then accepted the kids, which is us but it was too late,â he was going in circles
with his words. I didnât understand half of his story. Who cheated on whom and why did he want to
reject his own kids?
âIt surely is,â I agreed with him. Maybe he wasnât fully ready to talk about it thatâs why he was keeping
things to himself. Since it was inappropriate to force him into telling me about his past, I too didnât dig
into it.
âAbout Christina,â I adjusted in the seat and said, âthe bottle we found in her bag, the poison! Do you
really think she was poisoning you because I donât think so,â I remember how she jumped before
Thiago to save her brother? If she wanted to kill him, she would have sat back and let a lycan do the
job for her.
âI never said she was trying to kill me. It was you and Lazlo,â he shrugged, making my jaw meet the
floor but in all honesty, he wasnât lying though. We kept forcing the narrative that she was poisoning
him.
âAnyway, letâs not talk about anybody else. I do believe you havenât passed a single glance to the
backseat yet,â he sounded very disappointed when he had to ask me to look behind. I turned around
and found a box of chocolates and a bouquet of red roses resting there.
âOh! Thatâs sweet,â I felt bad for ignoring his every gesture towards me.
âI just donât get why â you know what, nothing! I can win your heart I believe,â he stopped complaining
and decided to not ruin our moods.
âNow if you open that chocolate, do give me a bar,â he requested and I understood he wanted me to
eat those chocolates with him. Since he said he was taking us somewhere far away, we needed
energy.
I had only appreciated his gesture and finished a bar of chocolate when he said, âDonât eat too much. I
heard it is not good to have sex on a full stomach,â
âBecause thatâs what we are doing on our date, Enya!â his tone
changed and my heart sank in my chest.
