Chapter 221

221! Our Relationship Is Ruined.

Enya‘s POV:

After watching them argue for a few minutes, I saw Thiago approaching me, and my heart couldn‘t be more relieved.

“Can we talk?” He sounded drunk, “Outside the bar?” he added, and I nodded instantly. I knew he was still upset, so he didn‘t even raise his head to look at me. I walked after him to the outside, and soon we were facing each other.

“I know I have upset you with my mistakes, but that would be the last time I did anything so foolish.” I didn‘t wait a second before I jumped in to explain myself.

“Okay!” he nodded, stretching his neck and taking long breaths.

“Can you tell me something without getting offended?” He asked very softly, but still not meeting his eyes with mine.

“You can ask me anything. I will be honest with you,” I replied.

“Did — So, Christina told me something very horrible. I don‘t believe her, no! I don‘t. But I just want to hear it from your lips,” he was stuttering as he was talking in guilt for questioning me.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard her name. What could she tell him so horribly that he was so concerned about other than me accepting Zander?

“It is about you and Zander.” He closed his eyes, stretching his neck back to open his eyes to the sky.

I believed he was going to ask me about it, so I went ahead and admitted it. But before I could proceed, he interrupted me.

“She said you two kissed,” he muttered, lowering his face, and that‘s when his eyes met mine. It almost shook me on my knees when I heard that.

“What? Did she say we kissed? That forced kiss is not considered kissing. He fucking forced that kiss on me,” my outburst came as a surprise to him. He was taken aback.

“I am sorry! Oh My God!” I covered my mouth. I should have told him that, but we didn‘t have time to talk about it.

“He forced a kiss on you?” Thiago‘s eyes darkened as he grunted and clenched his fist, “I am going to fucking kill him.” His rapid breathing and muffled words as he turned around to sprint away terrified me.

I didn‘t mean to push him to transition, but I needed to speak the truth.

“Thiago! Wait!” I called for him, but he didn‘t listen to me. I watched him disappear on the road and terror struck me hard.

“What happened?” In the meantime, the others rushed out of the bar to see what was going on.

“This is what you wanted, didn‘t you?” I ignored them all and yelled at Christina, who was standing behind them all alone.

“I wanted nothing but for him to know the truth. The ugly truth you have been hiding from him. “They all think you‘re a saint, but you‘re not,” she yelled at me, ignoring the fact that she messed everything up.

“Your brother forced a kiss on me. I didn‘t want to kiss him.” I yelled back at her.

“What has she done?” Lazlo jumped in to ask me, his eyes passing hateful glares at Christina.

“She told Thiago about Zander kissing Enya,” Thankfully, Maynard said it himself, so I didn‘t need to explain anything.

“But that‘s not what happened. He came on her out of the blue just to taunt his sister,” Lazlo yelled. He then turned to pass a judgmental stare at Christina.

“Because I am tired of you all acting like Enya is the only one here. Even my own mate,” she burst out once tears rolled down her eyes.

“What? I am always there for you,” Maynard protested, scoffing at her in disbelief. How can she think Maynard cares about me when all he did was to screw me over?

“Really? Every time she messes up, you are the one defending her. What about me and my brother?

Aren‘t you supposed to be there for my family? You haven‘t even asked him once what is wrong with him. Why is he sick? You never cared.” She was panting and judging Maynard, who was shocked to hear her.

“He is a grown ass man, he can take care of himself,” Maynard yelled back at her. Maynard had a habit of shouting and forcing silence whenever fingers were pointed at him.

Christina was no saint, but her frustration came from being left out. It still doesn‘t excuse her actions, but that was the excuse she was giving us.

“Really? Isn‘t she a grown ass too? In fact, she is more powerful than all of us. Then why is it that she needs so many babysitters? I am not asking you to take care of my brother. I just want someone to be there for me when I am tired and exhausted from taking care of my brother. You always shut me up whenever I talk about my brother. I am alone and fighting while yo—,” she paused to let out a whimper, “You all have no idea what I go through every fucking day. And you! Love is not about fucking each other. Love is about being there for each other, which you never are for me. I got a mate, but I didn‘t get a friend who I could confide in.” The way she was crying and sobbing while rubbing her palms spoke to me.

There was something she had not told anyone, and that something was related to Zander and his sickness.

It then struck me. What if she is tired of taking care of her sick brother, so she has decided to poison him to get out of those responsibilities?

“Guys!” I was snatched back from the ocean of my thoughts when Oswin interrupted us, “Poppy told me she saw Thiago and Zander fight outside the academy and then chase each other into the woods.

His statement was a sign we needed to keep everything at bay for now and focus on those two “What? He will kill him,” Christina shuddered when she heard about the fight. The look on her face when she expressed concern for her brother confused me.

“We need to hurry up,” Ignoring her and her crazy talk, I announced and sped up with the others to stop Thiago from ripping Zander‘s head from his neck.
