Chapter 217
217–Got Tricked
Before the conversation could go crazy, Lazlo had found the injections in Thiago‘s bag and convinced
everybody to take a shot before we discussed things. Christina and Zander took some time to recover,
whereas Maynard was fine due to him being alpha.
“What is going on? Are we doing drugs now?” Maynard asked as he rubbed his hand on Christina‘s
back tofort her.
“These drugs are weak,” Zander joined him, getting out of bed to shake his head and strengthen his
grasp of reality. I wasn‘t in the mood for jokes. My eyes were stuck on my phone. I wished I could get in
contact with Thiago. Or Oswin responds to my test to let me know how Thiago is feeling right now.
“These are to make sure the monster doesn‘t hear what we are going to talk about now,” Lazlo
exined,cking energy. We were both extremely worried about Thiago. And now that we knew he
wasn‘t the bad guy here, we both were guilty of breaking our promises and betraying him.
“Monster?” Christina and Maynard shared a nce and then watched our faces. She even watched her
brother‘s face to see if he knew about it.
“The one who had been marking girls,” Zander instantly jumped to exin that there was no new
information.
“Guys, we can talk about itter. The food is getting cold,” Zander eyed us to not expose it before her.
I was done listening to them and ended up on the wrong path. This mess could have been avoided if I
had listened to my own head and confronted Thiago forthwith. I let my mates have too much power
over my thinking. It needs to stop.
“No! She is injected with the fluid, so she will be fine. None of this conversation will reach the monster‘s
ears anymore.” Lazlo agreed with me and defended my decision to talk in front of Maynard and
Christina.
“What is going on, you guys? Is there something we are not aware of?” Maynard questioned.
“Zander!” Christina grunted, elbowing Zander. We were sitting on the floor at this point in a circle.
“Good! Now deal with this,” Zander eyed me to deal with his mess.
“Thiago is not a monster.” I took a deep breath and announced, taking them off guard.
“Please keep going.” Maynard tilted his head, giving us a look of confusion.
“Things went down horribly on the ind and we came to believe Thiago was the monster who had
been marking girls forcibly,” Lazlo said in a subtle tone, stealing eyes to hide the guilt in them.
“Why would you think that? Just because he is a Lycan?” Christina disagreed with us. “It is crazy. You
all thought he would do something like that. Lycans are — out of control but only when they are
shifted,” she muttered angrily at us.
The fact that she trusted Thiago more than his own mate was a tight p against my cheek and all the
ims I ever made of loving Thiago.
“It is not like we had all this information. We found out only a little, so we relied on it,” Lazlo defended
himself while I just lowered my face in guilt.
“Oh, so my dear brother knew.” She turned to give him a quizzical re.
“I mean, they dragged me and promised me to not tell you anything,” Zander was literally dodging
bullets by using us as a shield.
“Umm! Sorry, we are already dealing with a lot right now. Don‘t get us into any more mess,” Lazlo
snapped at Zander, who was acting like Lazlo and I was the only ones who were running around
bossing everyone.
“Wait! I mean, it is pretty obvious why you guys thought that. What changed your mind?” Maynard, who
always insisted that we believe him when he said that Thiago was a monster, shrugged his shoulders.
It was then that Lazlo went on to exin everything to them. Including how we broke Thiago‘s heart.
“Oh, goodness!” Christina was the first one to express sorrow for Thiago. “How old are you guys,
anyway? You have powers. You could have confronted him and let him be over with it. It is not like if he
had tried to attack you, you couldn‘t defend yourself. What exactly were you guys doing while sitting on
that information, huh? Cheating on him?” I understood her words perfectly. It did seem like that.
I didn‘t even want to defend myself against any usations. I deserved every bit of it for breaking
someone‘s heart who didn‘t even care about his secret and exposing it to the worst people to keep me
safe.
“It is not like they did it on purpose. They had a misconception.” Maynard defended us and it enraged
Christina.“Of course, you will say that. You hate that poor guy because he stole your mate right under
your nose.” we did not want another couple to fight because of our mistakes, but it seemed like the
conversation was headed that way

“And why are you defending Thiago so much?” Maynard finally snapped at her and growled angrily.
“You are both right. Why are you two defending each other? Doesn‘t it sound sketchy?” Zander, who
wanted the argument to blow up so that Christina and Maynard can fight, added fuel to the fire.
“Stop it!” I yelled at Zander. We were in a crisis, and he was using these moments to break apart
Maynard and Christina.
“Don‘t yell as if you are not at fault. I know why you wanted to get rid of Thiago so badly. Is that why
you have been running after my brother? You wanted a mate out of the picture who is restraining you
from tasting all your mates,” she yelled, and it hit me hard.
Wow! Is that how Thiago must be feeling, too?
“Hey, hey, she was not running after me. Together we were trying toe up with a n to stop Thiago
from killing others,” Zander finally took things seriously. His sister let out a loud gasp before she
muttered.
“If you truly wanted to help her, why didn‘t you take her to our library and let her get more information
on Lycans instead of making her believe there was no more information about Lycans?” The mention of
the library from her lips stunned Lazlo and me.
Zander lied to us about the existence of the library.
