Chapter 248
248-It Is Not What It Seems like
Enya’s POV:
I don‘t know how things went between us. That conversation seemed good enough. But the tension
was not over yet. It was just hard to exin what was keeping us apart.
I could tell what was stopping me from touching him. It was the fact that I had gone behind his back
and done everything he never liked. I even started a physical rtionship with Lazlo while Thiago was
suffering and dealing with the betrayal. I couldn‘t bring myself to touch him and im him as mine
anymore.
“There is something Poppy said that I cannot get out of my head,” I whispered my worries out of my lips
once there was nothing else to say about us at the moment.
“You know you can share your worries with me, right?” he stated, carrying aforting smile on his
lips. “What did she say?” he asked.
“She mentioned Oswin as my—–brother and it wasn‘t some metaphor.” My heart ached when I recalled
her words. It would be so sad if there was a little truth in it and I didn‘t even know it all along.
“What? That is—does that mean he is also a hybrid?” Thiago sat down in his bed and rubbed his
temples to focus on the subject at hand.
“I don‘t know. It can be possible because he used to go into the woods and bring back stuff that is not
usually easy to get. But why was I never told I had a brother and what happened to him? Why wasn‘t
he around?” I was going crazy thinking about it, and the only thing I could remember was Oswin calling
me his little sister once.
“Do you want to go talk to him?” Thiago then released his face from his hands to suggest I should
check up on Oswin.
“I don‘t know how to face him. I am not even sure if he knows about Poppy.” | whispered in a defeated
tone. She had been his only friend, or should I say, he thought
she was.
“I am not sure why you two don‘t remember if you were ever siblings unless you were separated when
you were little, but I do think he will remember this time if you aren‘t around to show support to him. He
is alone and probably wants someone to be there for him.” Thiago was right. I can not leave him alone
in this condition.
“Are you going toe with me?” I asked, hoping he would join me. I now have many mates, but
Thiago always gave mefort and let me deal with things my way without judging me.
“I wish I could,” he uttered as he got on his feet. “I think it will be too soon and inappropriate for me to
tell him, hey! I killed Poppy. But I will be waiting for you outside the room.” He then promised as he
gestured at the door.
“Now? You want me to go now?” I questioned while rolling my eyes. The little smirk on his lips when
watching me act like that was adorable. I could tell he loved the annoying version of me.
“Yeah! Don‘t let him cope with it alone,” he uttered and almost bent over to grab my hand, but then
didn‘t touch me. Every time we made a move and backed down, it left us in an awkward position.
“Okay. Let me grab my phone.” I picked up my phone and left the room with him Neither Zander nor
Lazlo was around, so I didn‘t have to worry about the quizzical stares.
I walked downstairs and to the first floor to see Oswin, who was still in the guestroom. He had already
recovered but was put in the room to make sure he was in good mental health before they released
him.
I entered the room to find him lying on the bed. His face turned to the side from where he could look
outside the window.
“Oswin!” I whispered. My voice was able to drag him back to reality. He instantly shifted to see me and
sat up with tears flowing down his eyes. I rushed over and sat beside him
“She is gone,” he was sobbing when he hugged me to cry on my shoulder. He has been the biggest
support system for me ever since I joined this academy. I was d Thiago convinced me toe here
sooner.
“Everything will go back to normal before you know it,” I whispered, patting his back. But that didn‘t
satisfy him. He broke the hug and stared me in the eye.
When the rogues attacked him, they left a lot of injuries on his head. We had told an borate lie to the
counselors about us getting ambushed by the rogues one morning and then, to save ourselves, we had
to kill them.
Where the academy was extremely happy and relieved, I forgot Oswin would look at it

differently
“How? How could he kill her?” His eyes held anger and resentment for Thiago. The problem was that
they didn‘t tell him how Poppy died or what she was doing, but they did tell him who killed her.
“I understand your feelings, but she was a skinwalker. If Thiago hadn‘t killed her, she would have killed
the others.” I was notfortable telling him the entire truth of how she killed my baby because we
kept my involvement hidden from the school and the counselors.
“Then he could have taken her out. Skinwalker or not, she was brainwashed.” For someone who didn‘t
know the entire truth and how evil his mate was, he was obviously sad for her.
“You just get better and then I wi–” I wasn‘t going to tell him the entire truth here in this room. There
was a camera pointing at us. Mr. Tripper was watching us.
“Don‘t tell me you forgave Thiago for hurting Poppy.” It was then he steadily pulled away from me.
“– let‘s talk about itt–,” I hesitantly shook my head, not knowing how to deal with this situation.
“Can I be left alone for now?” he requested as he lied down again and refused to look my way. I
couldn‘t even tell him anything about us being siblings.
“Sur–,” I murmured in tears.
“Wait!” he then called for me out of the blue.
“Thank you foring here,” his eyes told the truth. I walked back to his bed and gently caressed his
cheek.
“I am always here for you.” As I said that, he got up and hugged me. The fact that he had always seen
me as his sister was just a sign that either he knew or he felt the connection. The door suddenly
opened, and I heard someone let out a scoff.
As we broke the hug, I watched Lazlo ring at us and then muttering,
“I am sorry! I guess I intervened at the wrong time,”
