348-Suffering Silently
H a Vouchers The moment I remembered that hidden memory and why I had dreamed about the
woman cursing Thiago, my heart sank in my chest. I couldnât even utter a word or walk inside the room
to inspect it.
âWow! Thatâs a weird color,â Maynard said, walking past me to enter the room and then looking around.
âThere is noth ing here. But why is the color so red, and what is all this mark ing on the floor?â he
frowned, probably confused at what kind of messed up work my mother was doing here.
Thad tears in my eyes, my vision was blurred, and my body was shivering in guilt. It was my mother
who cursed Thiago, but for what?
Why would someone curse a little child? I couldnât com prehend how my mother could be this evil. As I
raised my face and blinked the tears away, I saw Maynard walk around the room cluelessly. He had no
clue my mother screwed him over, too.
At this point, I wouldnât be surprised if my mother had done something for Zander to turn out like that. Is
it why I was given so many mates? Did she mess up everyone and then the Moon Goddess gave me
them as a mate to punish me? Maybe
it is a redemption point where I have to help my mates?
âEnya!â Maynard spoke to get my attention. âHere is a pic tureâ,â he was looking through the closet
when I shook my head and started walking backward. I wanted to get out of here and leave as fast as I
could.
âUm! What is happening to you?â He must have seen me cry, because he ran after me out of the room
to check on me. I shook my head one last time before I turned around and sprinted out of the room like
crazy. He followed me, and once! was in the front yard, I broke down.
âWhat is going on? Did something happen?â He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to
his chest as I cried frantically.
âEnya! You are scaring me,â Maynard whispered, gently patting my back.
âWhat happened to her?â I heard Christina ask Maynard. Thatâs when Maynard broke the hug and
steadily handed me over to Lazio.
I wasted no time before pulling myself closer to Lazlo and hiding my face in his chest. He hugged me
back but didnât say anything.
He was probably still upset remembering his mother, and now he had to calm me down.
âI am so worried about her.â Christina was running her hand through my hair and trying to calm me
down, but how do I calm down? How can I even tell them what happened? How do I tell them the
woman who cursed Thiago was my mother?

The one who needs to be sacrificed is me.
âLetâs go back to the academy. It seems like this place gave us the answers we needed,â Lazlo
mumbled, and I finally lifted my face from his chest to speak to them. I needed to tell them I was the
one who should be sacrificed for Thiago.
âI will go grab our bags,â Christina suggested, and she ran inside to pick up her stuff. I was just blankly
staring at them, feeling like a culprit. My mother messed up everything and then left me behind to clear
the mess.
How can someone be so heartless?
âI have to tell you guys aboutââ | paused, watching Christina come out and join us.
âGuys, we should go,â she suggested, and they agreed. I wanted to have a talk with them, but I was
trying to calm my self down first. In the meantime, we sat together in the car and hit the journey back to
the academy. I had my head resting on Lazloâs shoulder when I noticed him moving a little.
âCan you sit over there? My shoulder is kind of numb,â he complained as he gently massaged his
shoulder.
âOh! I am so sorry, I didnât notice,â I uttered, and instantly sat up straight.
âEnya! What happened back there? Did you have a vi

sion?â Maynard questioned himself while driving the car. He was keeping one eye on the road and
snitching a glimpse of me in the mirror.
âI â I found out â who had cursed Thiago,â as soon as I said those words, Maynard hit the breaks and
we almost col lapsed. Thanks for the invention of belts!
âWhat? that is good news.â Maynard turned around and smiled. The others suddenly looked so happy.
âThat means we can contact Thiago somehow and tell him we have found the cure.â Christina clapped
her hands excited ly. âwait! we cannot do anything until we find him, right?â She tried to confirm, and a
brief nod from me gave her the answer.
âDammit! He didnât want us to go with this plan. So how in hell are we going to find him to cure him?â
She sighed, getting out of the car after Maynard eyed us all to leave the car and sit on the side of the
road to discuss it in detail. I reluctantly got out of the car, followed by Lazlo, who was just silent all the
time.
âWe can make a plan to lure him back, but first, we need to get our hands on the one we are going to
sacrifice.â May nard stroked his chin while Lazlo sat silently on the side.
âWhat if the witchâs blood is pure? I mean, kids can turn out good,â Christina suggested, but then I
found Lazlo glaring at her in silence. I just didnât understand what was going on with Lazlo, but there
was something definitely bothering him.

âAn evil personâs child turns out evil only.â That came from Lazlo. He said it without looking at anyone
specifically.
âBut Enya turned out good.â Maynard shrugged his shoul ders, and it helped me a lot. Because I was
going to tell them now that the evil person who cursed Thiago was none other than my mother.
âThe witch who cursed Thiago â- was my mother,â My words distracted them from discussing any
more plans. The silence engulfed them entirely, and I found myself in the cen ter of the quizzical stares.
