Chapter 38
38-The Other’s Obsession
Maynard had somehow found me and taken me to the basement. He had his arm wrapped around me
and my nket under his arm. He told me the hurricane hadn’t even gotten worse yet so whatever I
saw there was nothingpared to how it will be in the next few hours.
Once we arrived in the basement, I found Mr. Tripper calming everyone down.
He watched me enterte and frowned and sprinted to have a word with me.
“You don’t forget to create troubles, do you?” he red at me but soon his re broke because
Maynard snatched his attention by responding to him.
“Don’t you see she is frightened?” the aggression in Maynard’s tone silenced the crowd that Mr. Tripper
was trying to hushed down for minutes.
“Go and sit down in the corner,” Mr. Tripper pointed at the only empty corner. I passed around a quick
nce and found Thiago sitting on the other side of the wall with his head resting against the wall. He
was staring at us but didn’t react to my arrival. Lazlo was sitting beside him whilst Maynard and I
quickly took our ces at the darker corner.
“It will get even colder in a few hours,” Maynard mumbled undertone while wrapping my nket around
my body and bringing his bag closer
“Are you alright?” he continued to be concerned for me while I was nkly looking at Thiago.
Thad only one question in my mind, did he not panic when he arrived here and didn’t find me?
“Miss Omega?” Maynard gently tapped a chocte bar against the back of my hand to get my
attention.
“Thank you,” I replied to him and took the chocte. I desperately needed some sweets to boost up my
energy.
“How did you end up on the rooftop?” he whispered, steadily pulling his body closer to mine.
“I heard some cries,” I exined, “It felt like somebody was in trouble. I went to the rooftop to help the
person in need but -“|| paused because I remembered what happened.
“But what?” he asked as he bent his head down to reach my level.
“But they pushed me onto the rooftop and locked the door behind me,” it hurt so bad thinking I was
trying to help that person and they did that to me.
“That is ridiculous. You are too kind and good to help those fools. Somebody must have nned it
against you,” His body didn’t waste a minute before radiating heat.
“But I am fine now, thanks to you,” as soon as I passed him aforting smile, he calmed down.
“Did you see anyone?” he inquired while waiting for me to respond.
“No!” I shook my head.
“Hm! It’s okay. We will deal with itter,” he uttered and then looked at the ceiling when we heard a loud
thuding from above.
Some monster must have knocked itself down with the door of the rooftop.
“How did you find me there? you were supposed to be in the basement,” I watched his face, avoiding
any eyes on me.
“I was waiting here for your arrival but when Thiago arrived and you weren’t with him, I got worried. I
left the basement and started looking for you. I found your nket near the staircase,” he exined
and it made sense. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that Thiago didn’t see the nket, or
did he see and didn’t bother?
But why would he not care?
I was now flooded with countless worries and no answers. I had to remain calm until it is all over to be
able to speak to Thiago.
“Thank you, Maynard! I was scared for my life,” I said as I watched Thiago closing his eyes to take a
nap. What happened to the aggressive and possessive mate? What changed in a matter of a few
hours?
I began to doze off but every time I closed my eyes, I woke up to the jeering noises of the monsters
and creatures screeching.
“Are you tired?” Maynard questioned because he noticed I kept dozing off and waking up.
“A bit,” I answered in half-sleep, “Why are these monsters so loud?” Iined like a child and he
laughed a little at me.
“Here! I got you,” he opened his arms and invited me into his nket. I watched his nket and then
turned my face to look at Thiago, he was sleeping peacefully and so was Lazlo.
If he didn’t bother caring about me, why would I care?
I pulled closer and soon was in his nket fort. He wrapped his arm around me and covered me on his
chest with his nket. He was right!
His body passed such a calm and soothing heat that the outside noises subsided. I rested my face on
his chest and soon heard his heart missing a beat.
If I ask him, he will deny having his heart skip a beat so I didn’t raise attention to it. thefort of his
arms filled my body and every inch of it with so much rxation that I passed out in the next few
minutes.
The night passed while I slept through it. I didn’t know if Maynard blinked asleep or not because I didn’t
wake up until I heard a bell ringing above our heads.
As I raised my face from his chest, he uncovered the nket so that I can look around. The first thing
I’noticed was relief on everybody’s faces.
The hurricane of monsters had passed.
I then stared at Maynard, whose eyes were swollen and red as if he didn’t sleep at all.
“You didn’t rest?” I asked while rubbing my eyes.
“I wasn’t sleepy,” he smiled, collecting his stuff and getting up while I too joined him. Mr. Tripper was
carefully escorting everybody now that it was safe to leave the basement.
“We have searched the areas but it is still your responsibility to keep your eyes peeled and make sure
you are aware of your surroundings. If anything unusual is spotted, don’t try to be a hero instead report
it to my office instantly,” Mr. Tripper had repeated the same warning over time.
I looked in the direction of Thiago and found him holding his bag over his shoulder and ready to leave
ahead of Lazlo.

Soon we had left the basement and witnessed the mess the hurricane had left behind. There were
many broken windows, I bet the other creatures had bumped into more than just windows.
As we walked towards our room, I heard Lazlo whispering something to Thiago behind us.
“Maynard!” Lazlo, after finishing talking to Thiago, rushed to match pace with Maynard, “You didn’t
sleep the entire night, did you?” his question made Maynard only turn his face to Lazlo without halting
on his steps
In the meanwhile, I sneakily cocked my head and saw Thiago walking beside me but not passing me
single attention.
“It is just that whenever I opened my eyes, I found you awake and your wolf peeking through your eyes.
I am just surprised how one cuddle made you make a decision to suffer your wolf the whole night in
order to keep your mate warm and cozy.” Lazlo’s taunting helped me acknowledge why Maynard never
slept and how I was able to get the best sleep among everyone there.
He stayed awake so that I could keep sleeping.
His action touched my heart and at the same time, Thiago had upset me deeply. Once we were in the
room, we started packing to leave for the winter vacation. By the time wee back, Mr. Tripper said
the academy will be reconstructed and fixed for our stay once again.
We packed our bags and throughout the time, Thiago acted like he didn’t even know me. It was
heartbreaking how quickly he turned his back on me,
Now that I think about it, he didn’t even ept me back in the woods.
Why be all nice when he had to act like he doesn’t care, why?
‘He took our virginity,’ Nia groaned in pain after her mates’ negligence has deeply affected her.
“Let’s get ready, little one. First stop, the Blood Moon Hounds Pack,” Lazlo smirked, passing Maynard
and Thiago a nce. I was able to see Thiago’s muscles stiffen but he didn’t react too visibly. Maynard,
on the other hand, bobbed his head nkly.
“I am off to Shadow Winter Pack. Hope you all have a great time,” Thiago went ahead and was the first
one to grab his bags and leave. He didn’t specifically say goodbye to me. Just generalized me with the
others.
“I need a minute,” I rushed into the bathroom to calm myself down because Thiago’s ignorance had
been paining me a lot and that’s when I heard some noisesing from outside the bathroom.
“What?” Lazlo asked Maynard.
“I am just saying. Keep your hands to yourself,” Maynard warned him and I get what they were talking
about.
“She is my mate. If anything happens, happens,” Lazlo must be smirking because I heard a scoff from
him.
So now that Thiago was no longer taking interest in me, I have be Maynard’s obsession.
