Chapter 222
222–On A Break!*
We ran to the woods in search of the two like crazy. It was a mess caused by Christina, and she was
the one sobbing nonstop. If she hadn‘t had so many issues with me, this wouldn‘t have happened. She
only told Thiago those things to make me look evil and that I needed to jeopardize her brother‘s
life.
We were looking around in the dark to spot any one of them. But it seems impossible now. There was
only one option left, so I took the chance.

“Thiago! Show me where you are.” I closed my eyes and raised my hands to spot him. The trees began
to bend in one direction. Everybody gasped as they started following the route with me.
“What the fuck!” Oswin was grunting in confusion, but didn‘t say a lot. After some time, I stopped using
magic because I had already heard them grunt and howl at each other. The panting and growling made
my heart sink in my chest.
We reached the river and found them wounded. Thiago was sitting on top of Zander after he caught
him and was punching him repeatedly.
“Hey! Let go of my brother,” Christina yelled, rushing to save her brother. Thiago turned to her, and we
all yelped in shock. His eyes were burning red and his frown was prominent. It was almost like his
Lycan was taking over him.
“Let him go.” Christina didn’t care about the threat and reached for him to grab his arm and pull him
away. He did leave his brother, but only to get up on his feet and grasp Christina by her hair.
“NO!” Maynard shouted, sprinting to free Christina. Thiago smacked her face against the tree‘s trunk,
and blood sttered everywhere.
“Shit!” Lazlo‘s terrified tone shook me awake.
Maynard approached Thiago but got swept to the side when Thiago hit him. He was out of control now.
I knew I had to do something before it ended up with somebody dying. Thiago will never forgive himself
if he identally kills someone. I walked in his direction and grabbed his arm when he was about to hit
Christian again. She had passed out at this point.
“Thiago!” As soon as I said his name, he stopped. Leaving go of her, he stepped back from her and
examined the mess he had created.
“Christina, please wake up.” Maynard rushed to hold her body in his hands. She wasn‘t dead, just
passed out from the impact of the hit.
“What did you do?” Zander yelled after he regained consciousness. He, too, ran to snatch Christian out
of Maynard‘s arms and pull her to the side. I saw her waking up, but I was more attentive to
Thiago now.
“1” he said, lowering his face to look at his hands. They were bruised and covered in Zander‘s blood.
“It is fine. You were triggered,” I mumbled tofort him.
“No! I am the monster like you two thought of me,” he yelled in desperation. I feared we had scarred
him.
“But you are not,” Lazlo yelled back at him, “We knew it wasn‘t your Lycan controlling you. We thought
you we— ” It was only then that Lazlo realized how wrong it sounded.
“Wait! So you didn‘t even think my Lycan was making me do things? You just thought I was evil?” It
turned dirty when Thiago calmed down all of a sudden.
“Let‘s leave this topic for now. I am sorry for what happened and what we did. I am sorry! But please,
you need to calm down.” I was shaking and frightened of getting near him. I would be so heartbroken if
he pushed me away.
“I cannot believe this,” Thiago said,ughing. He was hysterical now.
“You hurt my sister because she told you the truth?” Zander, who I thought would shut up, for now, got
on his feet after his sister woke up to yell at Thiago.
His face was badly messed up, yet he wasn‘t sitting in the corner, letting us deal with this mess.
“You kissed me out of the blue. I never consented to it. I told him that too.” At the moment, I didn‘t want
another misconception. He brought up that kiss again, and I shut him down.
“Because you fucking epted me. We are epted mates. We are bound to feel physically attracted
to each other,” Zander yelled at the top of his lungs, and Thiago turned to look at me.
Everybody went silent after that.
“I did it because he was sick.” To escape the quizzical stares of Thiago, I admitted the truth.
“You epted him?” Thiago asked, his hand stretched out to point at Zander, who was ring at us.
“It was only to save his life,” I replied.
“Save his life?” Thiago questioned, shaking his head at me in disapproval, “I need to leave and be
alone.” He then looked me straight in the eyes and expressed his wish to be left alone.
“Thiago!” I ran after him, “Please give me a chance to exin myself,” I was talking while trying to catch
up with him.
“There is nothing left to exin. You did everything you wanted to do while calling me a monster.” He
stopped after we were a little farther away from the others to raise his voice.
There were tears in his eyes that he kept swallowing while running his hands through his hair.
“But I have set the rules for him. Nothing will happen between us,” I said, hoping anything I said would
calm him down.
“And he will obey them? You epting him gives him a chance to ask for anything from you in the
academy. He can tell Mr. Tripper to make you go out with him. Dammit, the ruies didn‘t stop him from
kissing you.” He was shouting and aggressively panting. I understood his point. He was not wrong, but
the damage had been done now.
“I told you. Enya. I told you to stay away from him because I didn‘t feel right about him. Why didn‘t vou
listen to me? Why didn‘t you trust my instincts?” He suddenly calmed down and asked me in a
defeated tone.
“Enva! I don‘t know what to say anymore.” He took a step back from me while closing his eves.
“Just give me another chance,” I requested. “Some days, we will forget about this and move past all the
differences.” I tried to give him hope because his reaction was scaring me.
“Ah! I think we should take a break from each other,” Those words escaping his lips shook the world
from under my feet.

situation as Thiago asking for a second chance in the past?
