Chapter 53


    53-Held By Him


    Just when I thought Maynard was going to support her, he did something very unlike him.


    He used his brain!


    “Let my mate go,” his order was received with an instant reaction from her friends. They set me free


    and stepped away so that he doesn’t focus on them.


    H was the most shocked one out of everyone as she didn’t expect him to stand up for me.


    “Your mate? She hit me,” H freed her fist and cried before him. Her eyes were watching him with


    those big tears in them where she was demanding justice from him.


    “Do you know what is a punishment for the crime against the Alpha’s Luna?” Maynard stepped closer


    to her but only to threaten her into backing away.


    “You are threatening me for he—r?” I bet she thought she was too special. I didn’t feel bad for her, she


    had a bitchy vibe to her from the moment we met.


    “And why the fuck would I care about you? You have been sleeping with all my friends when I was


    gone and now you are hurt seeing me with my mate?” he tilted his face as he exposed her before


    everybody.


    I didn’t know she was also disloyal apart from being a bitch. That exined why he was also sleeping


    around so much, they two loved having many partners.


    “She is the Luna of this pack!” someone from the crowd whispered when they heard him.


    “Yes! She is my Luna, my mate,” Maynard looked around at everyone, “You all witnessed using


    together yet nobody came forth to defend and shield my mate. Is this what you are all taught? My mate


    must receive respect like your mates receive,” he was loud and using hismanding voice. I bet they


    have never heard him raise his voice without the guidance of his mother.


    “As for you, my guards will apany you to your home and speak to your parents regarding you


    humiliating and ruining my mate’s mood,” Maynard didn’t look at her twice and held my hand to walk


    away with me.


    I turned my neck around to her and stuck my tongue out, making her gasp in humiliation.


    “Don’t be childish,” Maynard grunted, obviously he saw me mocking her. He was holding my arm like a


    mother dragging her kid back home.


    “I can walk fine even if you don’t hold me like this,” I shrugged my arm free and shook my head at him,


    “That was a heroic entry,” |mented.


    He was walking ahead of me with his broad shoulders moving along with his body.


    “Don’t tell me you are truly sad about this situation,” I rolled my eyes when found him acting too


    strange.


    “Mom is waiting for us in our room,” he finally spoke up to let me know what had been worrying him.


    “Oh!” I briskly matched pace with his and pouted, “It is fine though. I think you should speak to her. Try


    to make her understand calmly instead ofshing out or arguing,” I tried to be helpful but he scoffed.


    “Says the one who nearly bit off that girl’s finger,” he had a smile across his lips reminding me of my


    catfight with H.


    “Hey! she started it first,” Iined, folding arms over my chest and reaching the hotel.


    Oh goodness! His pack was really working me up.


    As expected, his parents had been waiting in our suite’s living room for us. I greeted his father only with


    a head nod but didn’t try tomunicate with his mother. I didn’t know what brought her here, it could


    be her hatred for me so trying to get her attention didn’t seem like a good idea to me.


    “Come! Sit with us,” his mother told me after Maynard sat down. I nodded and took a seat beside


    Maynard.


    “I am aware of my actions,” she started with quivering lips, “I am t-oo controlling.” She raised her face


    and tears covered her eyes, “but I just want to keep my son close so that no har–m everes his


    way,” a weak smile stered across her lips when she probably remembered this isn’t how she can


    keep anyone safe.


    “I know I am crazy, but I can-not lose another son,” she was shaking when talking to us. This was the


    first time that I have seen her talk so softly to me.


    53-Held By Him


    “You are not losing me, mom,” Maynard got up from his seat and sat in her feet, “Gerald’s death was


    not your fault. You did what any good mother would do, support her son. You need to stop ming


    yourself. Imagine how he must be feeling every time he sees you me yourself for his demise? Do


    you think he would want this?” Maynard was holding her hands and trying tofort her but she was


    bawling like crazy.


    “Then tell me how do I fix things? How do I tell the world I love my sons and I know how to take care of


    them?” she tilted her face and watched her son’s face with so much love that even I felt guilty for


    triggering her trauma unintentionally.


    “You don’t need to. Do you know they all stood around and did nothing when H attacked an Alpha’s


    mate today? These people only listen when you get vocal. They will never understand and feel your


    pain until you take a stand for yourself. You cannot please them all mother, you don’t need to prove


    your innocence to anyone,” he wasforting her and her smile was growing wider, “You are never


    going to lose me, I promise you!” he said and the two exchanged a hug.


    They remained like that until his mother had shed all the tears. Once they broke the hug, she smiled


    my way.


    “Let’s begin from the start then, may I know your name my son’s fine mate, who gave him the courage


    to console his mother?” the smile across her lips was genuine but I had to do it.


    I believe they had never talked about that incident before hence the matters kept getting worse.


    I got on my feet and reached her just to hold her hands and see if she was ying any game.


    “I am Enya Fosters,” I said once her hands didn’t betray me.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
