Chapter 112

112-The One Who Is Outraged I was now watching Maynard ending his call with Willow.

Once he did that, he stared at me in silence for a moment.

“You told her you are not rejecting her?” I inquired with a stern look on my face. It was confusing how he changed his decision in a matter of a few minutes.

“Yeah!” he bobbed his head. Not breaking eye contact with me, he triggered me into further questioning him.

“Is this my punishment?” I asked, “When I came here, why were you in men’s clothing? Whose shirt and shorts were those?” the question he raised shook my existence.

It wasn’t wrong of him to bring it up, I’d have done the same but it was just the fact that he might be thinking something else happened that made me a little uneasy with myself.

‘l transitioned to run away from the hunter. When I transformed back, I didn’t have my clothes on. So Lazlo brought me here in the unconscious state,” I watched his face for a response and realized it only darkened his eyes.

“Hm! Don’t you think you should have told me about your little adventure? Don’t you think I’d have appreciated it if you told me and I’d joined you guys? All this could have been avoided but you just cannot seem to stay away from your mates. I don’t understand why I’ve to reject my other mate but you get to keep all of yours at standby for a bad day,” once again, I agreed he was not in the wrong. It was just how he was saying it that wasn’t sitting well with me.

He had every right to question me but I just felt a little icky that he wasn’t going to reject her.

“My Mates don’t want to get accepted by me,” I said and Maynard let out a laugh.

“Right! I saw how they look at you. Who are you even fooling, Enya?” He raised his voice and then closed his eyes to simmer down.

“It doesn’t matter how they look at me. I look at you with love, is that not enough?” I took a step near him but when found him a bit stern, I backed away. I believed it wasn’t the right time.

“Then reject them,” his sudden demand shocked me.

I opened my eyes wide and stared at his face in silence before I looked away from him.

“Right now?” I finally looked back at him and saw the disappointment in his eyes.

“Yes! Why not? They are here, you are here. They will understand,” he folded his arms on his chest and tapped his foot anxiously.

Him acting that way was actually bothering me a lot. But somewhere along the line, he wasn’t asking for anything wrong either. I had expected him to reject Willow, I even wanted it. So can he.

“Maynard! Have you not seen Thiago and what state he is in right now? Rejecting him means weakening his wolf. It will weaken me as well. And I need my strength because when I tried using my powers, I lost my balance and collapsed. I don’t think I can reject anyone or accept rejection in that matter,” I was keeping my tone calm to not come off as threatening or forceful.

I wanted him to know I wasn’t dismissing his feelings. But I’m sure I was missing that effect.

“Fine, then I will also not reject her until you don’t get rid of your mates,” Maynard made up his mind and didn’t leave room for an argument. He walked past me upstairs after he was done talking to me.

This whole incident caused him to have major trust issues with me.

I joined them in the room again but the whole mood has changed. Lazlo seemed agitated and Maynard looked worried too.

Thiago was in the bed and possibly sleeping but breathing heavily.

“What is going on?” I asked, trying to get closer to the bed but Maynard gently pulled his hand out for me and asked me to stay back.

“Guys! What’s happening?” I insisted as my heart rate turned unusual. There was something going on and they were not telling me.

“Enya! Go wait outside.” Maynard whispered as Thiago grunted in pain.

“Something is happening to him?” I watched Lazlo’s teary eyes and understood they were hiding things from me.

“He suddenly fell in the restroom.” Lazlo said, “he is now burning in a high fever and we are afraid to take him to the hospital. If his transformation started in the hospital, they will call the warriors on him and get him caged.” He explained while silently cleaning tears from his eyes.

I rushed over to Thiago and pressed my hand against his forehead, his skin was on fire. He was squirming and breathing heavily.

“We need to do something.” I mumbled, turning over to the boys.

We didn’t have a bathtub here. But there was a small river nearby, the water there must be very cold, I assumed.

“What can we do?” Maynard scratched the back of his neck while watching Thiago suffer and then feeling bad for him.

At least he was looking worried, unlike all the other times when he just showed no emotions.

“We need to get him out and gave him a cold bath in the small river at a distance from here,” I told the boys and they shared a glance, “trust me, I know it will help ease up his fever, I knew how to calm down a werewolf’s fever.

The two decided to get closer to him and try to pick him up but that’s when Thiago opened his eyes and let out a sarcastic chuckle.

“Dude, relax your body. We are going to take you out of here,” Lazlo spoke softly, expressing emotions because he was worried for Thiago.

“You ar-e taking me to your perverted father?” the comment from Thiago wasn’t what Lazlo had expected.

gasped but ignored it, he was probably in pain and getting frustrated.

“It is fine guys; we should keep going.” Ignoring his comment, Lazlo still decided to hold him up when Thiago’s eyes landed on Maynard and he said something that broke my heart.

“Ah! You are su-ch a good guy. I wonder what made you accept such a whore,” Thiago let out a crackle before coughing loudly.
