Chapter 325

Lazlo’s POV:

“What are you saying?” I asked, my heart jumping up and down. For a moment, I thought they were pranking me, but it wasn‘t a prank.

“Enya! Can you please calm down and tell me what is going on?” I said to her. Enya was sobbing miserably. Something definitely happened. Or why else was Enya using Christina‘s phone?

“Christina! She–––,” she sobbed, “She–” I could hear the sorrow in her voice. I was beginning to think maybe I made a big mistake by telling Christina about their date. What if they had a fight and Christina got hurt?

“We are co—ing over,” she stuttered, “Corbin is here. We will be back in a few hours,” Enya said, and my heart sank in my chest.

Why was Corbin there? What was going on?

She hung up and didn‘t return my call. I couldn‘t help but stress out. My head was exploding from all the worry and fright.

In the meantime, Maynard was waking up again. And this time, he looked like he was doing much better.

“Christina!” he called for her, sitting on the couch with his face in his hands.

“Hey! Do you need anything?” | approached him, sitting beside him in hesitation. And I don‘t know what to tell him where his mate went. I didn‘t know what was going on.

“She went to get some stuff with Enya,” I lied to him, watching him lift his face from his hands and smile at himself.

“The two are finally getting along well.” He sounded so sweet when thinking about Christina adjusting to us.

“You know, I have been planning to propose to Christina,” he said, making my stomach form a knot.

“After everything happened, I wanted her to know I was always with her. I am going to get her the most beautiful ring and propose to her. The instant this whole academy punishment is over, I am going to marry her,” he said with a beautiful smile on his lips.

But I didn‘t know how to react to it. It was amazing that he knew what he wanted, but it was also saddening that Christina might be in danger right now.

“That‘s a fantastic plan,” I admitted with an awkward laugh.

“You think so? I think she will be thrilled,” Maynard said. We two stayed silent for a second before I saw Thiago walk downstairs with difficulty. I had to get up to rush his way and support him before he fell down and hurt himself.

“Thiago! Are you alright?” Maynard followed me. He was still a bit dull, but managed to get on his feet.

“I am fine. Where is Enya?” Once resting on the couch, Thiago asked us.

“She is with Christina,” Maynard answered before I did. I couldn‘t say much because he just answered and it was helpful that I didn‘t trigger by recalling the phone call to either of them.

“I will grab you water and something to eat.” Maynard, who was himself feeling low, was trying his best to help Thiago. In the meantime, I rushed to the side to call Enya.

“Shit! Just pick up my call.” I was getting impatient and worried about them. Whatever happened must have been extremely bad for Enya to hang up so quickly. It was as if she just wanted to let me know she was fine.

“Lazlo,” I heard Maynard calling for me, so I abandoned my phone for a moment. Once I was in the kitchen, I couldn‘t help but wonder if I should tell Maynard or not?

“He had fallen asleep again. Let‘s take him upstairs.” Maynard gently tapped his fingers on my shoulder to get my attention. Thad been standing in the kitchen cluelessly.

“Hm, okay!” | answered, not feeling like doing anything at the moment. I was getting more anxious with every passing moment now.

We were about to pick up Thiago when the door opened, and we saw them.

“Enya!” | said, rushing towards her to grab her out of Corbin‘s arms. “What happened to her?” I asked, but he didn‘t say anything.

“What is going on? She left with Christina. Where is she?” Maynard questioned, looking behind Corbin in agitation.

“She is in my car,” Corbin said. His words shook Maynard into sprinting out to pick her up. They brought her home, so she was fine? Then what went wrong?

“Zander! Where is he?” I asked as I helped Enya sit down on the couch.

“The monster is gone.” As soon as Corbin said that, my heart stopped beating. “He took her out on a date and wanted me to come here and kill you all. I thought I would come by and let you guys know about it, but I was late. He had stolen her from under your noses. By the time I could track Christina‘s car and find them, I saw Christina shooting her brother to his demise.” Those words rang through my ears. There was so much information he gave us in those few seconds that my brain couldn‘t comprehend which one to focus on.

“She killed her brother to save me,” Enya spoke up, her face in her hands as she cried hysterically.

“He was the monster?” I asked Corbin once again, and he nodded at me.

“OH God! What did he want from Enya? Was he planning to kill her just like he killed others?” I was beginning to feel this heat in my body when I asked about Zander‘s intentions.

“He wanted to mate with her and make a powerful child,” Corbin whispered in his mouth, awkwardly stealing his eyes from me.

“That fucking bastard!” I grunted, feeling happy that I told Christina about their date. What if I was delayed?

“I just feel like if we had worked a little harder, we could have found out he was the beast killing so many innocent girls.” Enya sniffled, cleaning the tears from her cheeks. “He tried warning us, but we never listened to him.” She then got up from beside me to reach Thiago, who was still sleeping on the couch.

He had absolutely no clue what kind of trouble we faced, and by the time he woke up, we would realize so much had changed.

Maynard brought Christina inside in his arms and rested her on the couch. She was a mess, and I don‘t blame her. She loved her brother a lot, and she had to be the one to end his life. But she did it for Enya.

We all owe her this one now.
