Chapter 139


    139- The Forced Marking Monster


    “This is ridiculous,” Maynard got on his feet to express his disapproval of the information.


    “I will just head downstairs. It’s too much for me to talk about right now,” Thiago got on his feet, his


    veins popping visible from his temples. I have stressed him out, it seemed.


    “Are you okay?” Lazlo questioned but Thiago didn’t stop and rushed downstairs.


    “Ah!” Lao exhaled tiredly


    “How can you even talk about this so casually?” Maynard turned to me. I watched him rock back and


    forth anxiously.


    “It’s not like she is behind this cursed night. She is only a messenger,” Lazlo grunted at Maynard for


    giving me a hard time instead of helping me out


    “Thank you, Lazio. At least one of you is using his brain,” Iplimented him right before Maynard’s


    eyes, who rolled his eyes in response.


    “Of course he is. He is the one who will be getting you that night. Why would he object?” Maynard


    shrugged his shoulders angrily


    “Fine, if this is how you are going to act then I would rather just sit and wait for the night toe.” I


    sounded exhausted already. I’ve already dealt with a lot of bullshit; this argument was thest thing I


    wanted.


    “Argh! No! Wait. We need to find a solution to this problem,” Maynard urged I to stay behind.


    I watched him snap his fingers when an idea popped up in his head, “How about you just reject your


    mates? there it was. I knew he would suggest that.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Excuse you! How is that the only option?” Lazlo didn’t hold back. I was honestly stuck now.


    “Why? She has already chosen me. What are you waiting for then? Just reject her or ept her


    rejection and get over it,’ Maynard made a good point but he forgot nobody would want to reject their


    mate and weaken their wolf until they have found a new second chance mate.


    “Neither of us wants to deal with this right now. Besides, you should worry about Corbin too. Why don’t


    you go and take her to him to ept the rejection and be over with it?” Lazlo mocked Maynard for not


    being able to react the same way to Corbin.


    “Guys! Stop okay? How about– how about I leave this academy for a few days? I will stay somewhere


    and not tell anyone about you. The eclipse will stay a few hours only. I know you will be able to follow


    my scent but you will not be able to leave the academy toe to collect me wherever I am. Or even if


    you do, it will take some time for you to follow me and find me. If I have already left the ce days ago,


    my scent will no longer be there in the air. It will not be easy for you to locate me; how does that


    sound?” I asked and the two looked a little at ease.


    “In the meantime, Oswin had promised to find an herb to stop Corbin. I believe it will be only able to


    prevent one of my mates, that should be him.” I was just saying what Oswin has told me earlier.


    “Why is Oswin helping you?” Maynard frowned, I bet he was just ready to fight anyone off.


    “Because I’m like a sister to him. Do you have an issue with that too?” I raised my voice and then


    acknowledged I cannot be hard on him. It is definitely not easy for him to imagine me with anyone just


    like I cannot imagine him with anyone else.


    “Babe! I’m only yours,” As I held his hand and snuggled in his arms, Lazlo turned his face away from


    us.


    “Now le-” I have only broken the hug to talk to Maynard and discuss the n with him when blood-


    curdling screams caught our attention.


    It felt like somebody was crying and screaming for help.


    We all shared a nce before rushing downstairs to see what happened. The owner of the voice was


    an Omega she-wolf.


    As we reached thest floor, we were stunned to see all the blood on the ground and everybody out of


    their rooms to check up on themotion.


    Mr. Tripper had arrived just a few minutes before us. The omega she-wolf was sobbing and shaking in


    panic. She had cuddled herself in the corner and was crying and hupping.


    “Everybody stand back,” Mr. Tripper ordered the students. They were all whispering and talking in their


    ears. The sight was terrorizing


    She had a huge chunk of flesh missing from her neck. That’s where the blood was from.


    “Gina! Tell me what happened?” Mr. Tripper asked her. She was so badly shaken up that she could


    barely see around and realize whatever happened had passed.


    “H


    e came out of nowhere and mar—–ked me,” she stuttered in fright, “he ma—- was …” she zoned out


    as she recalled him.


    “1. ahhh— !” she began to gasp for air. She was definitely reliving the trauma every two seconds.


    “Guards! Get in here,” Mr. Tripper voiced to get the attention of the guards.


    “We need to take her to the emergency ward quickly. She is losing blood and also her ability to keep


    her sanity,” he sounded worried. Whatever it was must be scary enough for her to not even get a grip


    over reality anymore.


    “What happened here?” a student came forward to question Mr. Tripper.


    “No need to worry, we will deal with it.” Mr. Tripper tried to end the conversation but the boy didn’t step


    back.


    “How do we not care? This happened in the academy. There is a monster who has been marking


    everyone by force and you have chosen to ignore it so far. Look what happened to Gina. Who else is


    going to be next?” as the boy expressed his concern, I found Maynard holding my hand and Lazlo


    grabbing my left hand tightly.


    It was their way to assure me they will not let anything like that happen to me.


    “I appreciate your concern for the she-wolves but you need to go back into your room. Your questioning


    is only causing panic,” Mr. Tripper was best known for diverting the subject and drowning the worries


    instead of helping us resolve them.


    They took the girl away and the others also disappeared into their rooms. We reached our room and


    found it empty. Christina and Zander had left for clubbing as usual.


    Maynard seemed on the edge, Lazlo too was worried. I hadn’t been able to forget the sight of Gina.


    “That monster who is marking everyone.” Maynard cleared his throat to speak, “Don’t you think he hold


    — resemnce with someone?” Maynard’s words grabbed all of our attention.


    “What are you trying to say?” Lazlo almost jumped on his feet defensively.


    “I’m just say—” Maynard was cut short when I eyed him to not say anything stupid but he still went


    ahead and did so.


    “Don’t need to overreact. Don’t we all know who is the monster here? There is one Lycan here, who is


    losing his control with every passing day and not to mention, he is the one unounted for,” his


    spections shook the world from under my feet.


    Was it true?


    Could it be Thiago?
