Chapter 245
245 The Snake Up My Sleeves
Thiago’s POV:
“Now I want to be left alone,” Enya said while slowly drifting into slumber. Lazlo held her tightly so that
she didn’t fall to the ground. This was such a big thing, and I didn’t even know about it. I was shocked,
hurt, and felt betrayed.
I got out of the car to storm into the woods and calm down before I met them back in the academy
“AHHHH!” I howled, punching and kicking the trees while crying like a maniac.
“WHY! WHY!” I yelled as I demanded the Moon Goddess to tell me what sin I had evermitted that
she wouldn’t let me have a moment in peace.

‘Ah! You lost your baby,’ Theoughed at me when reminding me I lost a chance to be happy again.
Can you shut up once?’ I requested, feeling heat burning my head.
‘Let me take over. I will calm you down quickly,’ Theo suggested. He had been trying to convince me to
start letting him transition more and more, but that idea, to me, was not a good one. If he gets too
comfortable, he will take over me forever, and then I will be trapped inside this body while he will be the
owner.
‘I am fine,’ I muttered.
‘Even after seeing her in Lazlo’s arms. I mean, she moved on so quickly. You took time to heal from her
cheating, and she turned the me on you once again. Gosh! She is one clever cookie.’ Theoughed
at me like always.
‘She is not the one to be med for. I made a mistake by trusting Lazlo.’ It ripped my heart open when
I confided in Lazlo and expected him to help me, but he took that chance and turned Enya against me.
‘Oh! Everybody wants a piece of her. And let’s be honest. You didn’t expose him either. And you have
been texting him and telling him you wille back soon to have a word with Enya. You even told him
you were not mad at her, but what did he do? He lied to her and told her you areing back to reject
her. That’s what I am talking about. This world will never ept you. Everybody will y you over, and
their excuse will be much simpler. Hey! We were afraid you would turn into a monster and hurt her, so
we think
you are not a better fit.’ Theo reminded me how everything boils down to me being a Lycan, and he
wasn’t wrong.
‘That’s why I didn’t tell the truth. I don’t want her to hate Lazio. Somebody needs to stay beside her. I
mean, it is not like he had bad intentions for her, he just happens to not care how I will feel.’ I was left
beyond shattered that Lazlo took advantage of me.
The only reason I kept his nasty secret was that I didn’t want Enya to be alone. Now that there has
been more danger approaching from everywhere and with that monster wanting to mark her, I want all
her mates to stay around her and protect her.
‘Thiago! It’s not like you will live forever. Your life is short. Soon I will take over, and trust me, I will not
let go of thatmand. It will be better if you fix things between Lazlo and Enya and say your peace,’
Theo suggested, sounding genuine.
Little did he know I would rather kill him than let him take over my body and hurt others. But this loss
made me realize one thing: I am too toxic for her. My curse extended to her and made her deal with
this loss. I need to leave after I fix a perfect life for her with a better mate that isn’t me.
I will still go have a word with Lazlo. I lost the opportunity to be there for Enya. Hadi not felt something
was wrong, I would have never arrived here today.’I was increasingly getting angrier by still trying to
control myself.
I walked out of the woods, thinking about Enya and how sad she must be to know she lost our baby. I
saw the anger and frustration in her eyes. I needed to speak to Lazlo. Once I made my way back to the
academy, I texted Lazlo to meet me in the backyard of the school.
There were questions he needed to answer ande clean about.
“You called for me?” Lazlo asked, walking in my direction but keeping a safe distance from us.
“Why did you lie to me?” Now that we were face to face, I wanted to punch him in the guts, but I wasn’t
raising my hand for the sake of Enya.
"I did what I had to do. You were gone anyway. I needed her to ept me as a true mate.
I was sick and tired of being herst choice." There it was, the greed of having her for himself only. "So
you lied to us? When did I say I will reject her? I said she has me blocked, and you said you spoke to
her and she told you that she needs some time and I need to respect that. So I fucking did. That was all
a lie? All these days I kept thinking how she was the one who blocked me when I was the hurt one.
And you would constantly tell me she wants to peruse things with you. You sent me a picture of her
sleeping in your arms on the rooftop as proof she wasn''t you now. Fine! You were a douchebag who
lied about respecting the rules and boundaries, but why did you fill poison in her ears against me?" I
was feeling this urge to transition. It was as if I wanted to burst into mes. Do anything explosive. "I
told you, Thiago, I wanted her to ept me and only me," Lazlo said as he lowered his face in shame
and stole eyes from me. "Now I know why Maynard never took your seriously," as soon as is said those
words, Lazlo raised his face to look me in the eye, "He knew you were not worthy of his trust or
anybody''s trust," I muttered while taking a deep breath. "Now! I am not going to expose you to her
because, unlike you, I don''t want to be selfish when she has a monster chasing after her. But if you lied
to her again, I will be the first one to snatch your tongue out and tie it around your neck," I walked
closer to him and muttered in his face. "I will never lie to her, I love her," he shamelessly admitted while
looking me in the eye. "If only you had told me in time that she was abducted, we hadn''t have lost our
baby," Those were thest words I told him before I stepped back from him. "And there ends another
friendship," I dered, and watched his eyes grow in size. If he still thought we could be friends after
he didn''t tell me she was missing and we lost our child, then he is a fool.
