Chapter 309

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.

“Do you have to do this right now?” 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.

“Thiago!” I said his name, my energy going down at the sight of him, “Well, look you if you don‘t wake up, somebody else will steal me away from you forever. Zander is taking me out on a date,” I said as I sat down in the chair and watched him breathe peacefully.

“I just don‘t know what to do. I cannot believe you have reached a point where—––,” | paused when I recalled the gray in his eyes changing color. He was headed to a dead–end and it was happening fast.

“I will just go get rid of this date and come back for you, okay? Please don‘t let your lycan steal you away from me,” 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.

“See you later,” I said even when he couldn‘t 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 other‘s souls.

“So, all set to go?” Zander asked, stepping ahead to make me follow him.

“Just one sec,” I said, turning to Lazlo, “Please don‘t stress out too much. Before you know it, I will be home,” 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.

“Huh!” Zander growled from behind us.

1 “Take care of Thiago and Maynard,” I told Lazlo, breaking the kiss and walking away with Zander.

“You are meeting them all as if you are planning to elope with me,” I know Zander liked finding humor in stressful situations. He didn‘t like how I had to hug all my mates and kiss them goodbye before heading out with him.

“For all I know, you could be abducting me,” I joked and found him scowl uncomfortably, “It was a joke, geez! Calm down,” | 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.

“So, tell me about your childhood,” Zander asked me, his eyes on the road as he kept driving happily.

“I don‘t remember too much of my real parents.” I said, playing with my fingers as I felt guilty for taking too long into finding out about them.

“What about your adoptive parents?” he then proceeded to ask.

“For 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.” I didn‘t 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 won‘t hurt anyone.

“Aha!” Zander mumbled, “Some people can never make good parents,” he sighed.

“What about you? I am sure your foster parents were just as bad,” I said as I remembered the twins talking badly about them.

“Well, 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,” Zander‘s voice almost broke down before he pulled himself together and smiled at the road.

“So, what happened then?” | asked.

“It is complicated. He then accepted the kids, which is us but it was too late,” he was going in circles with his words. I didn‘t understand half of his story. Who cheated on whom and why did he want to reject his own kids?

“It surely is,” I agreed with him. Maybe he wasn‘t fully ready to talk about it that‘s why he was keeping things to himself. Since it was inappropriate to force him into telling me about his past, I too didn‘t dig into it.

“About Christina,” I adjusted in the seat and said, “the bottle we found in her bag, the poison! Do you really think she was poisoning you because I don‘t think so,” 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.

“I never said she was trying to kill me. It was you and Lazlo,” he shrugged, making my jaw meet the floor but in all honesty, he wasn‘t lying though. We kept forcing the narrative that she was poisoning him.

“Anyway, let‘s not talk about anybody else. I do believe you haven‘t passed a single glance to the backseat yet,” 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.

“Oh! That‘s sweet,” I felt bad for ignoring his every gesture towards me.

“I just don‘t get why — you know what, nothing! I can win your heart I believe,” he stopped complaining and decided to not ruin our moods.

“Now if you open that chocolate, do give me a bar,” 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, “Don‘t eat too much. I heard it is not good to have sex on a full stomach,”

“Because that‘s what we are doing on our date, Enya!” his tone changed and my heart sank in my chest.
