Chapter 271
271–Pick Up!
Enya‘s POV:
“Enya!” she let out a cry, looking around the empty bathroom. I stormed inside and lost my senses.
There was just a broken sink and then a broken window. Maynard was nowhere in the bathroom
anymore.
“Where did he go?” Christina let out a cry, looking at the window.
“He climbed through the window and ran out, but why?” I was lost as to why he would choose to leave
out of the window rather than take the door.
“We should leave the academy and follow the trail,” I suggested, but she shook her head once again.
“What if there is no trail?” She raised her voice at me as if I knew what was going on.
“Christina! You need to get your shit together. We don‘t know if he left on his will or some monster
dragged him out,” I had to be honest with her. She cannot look away from the truth and expect things to
be fine on their own.
“Now let‘s go.” The two of us walked out of the room and bumped into Lazlo and Zander.
“Hey!” Lazlo said, scanning us from head to toe. “Are you two okay?” he asked, and Christina shook
her head while I nodded mine.
“Okay! Hear me out,” I said, watching Zander roll his eyes at us. They were wet from the rain, so
whoever took Maynard must have left some sort of trail. If only the rain had not wiped it clean already
“Maynard is missing!” Christina took the lead since it was regarding her mate. Zander and Lazlo shared
a nce and then watched our faces cluelessly.
“I am sorry! Say it again? Who is missing now?” Lazlo inquired of me with the most judgmental look on
his face.
“AHH! The monster took away another one of Enya‘s mates,” || should have known Zander would
create a drama. Since he had heard us talk in the cabin, he was now using that little piece of
information to pin Maynard‘s abduction on me.
“Back off!” Lazlo grunted, showing him his palm.
“Why would the monster want Maynard?” Christina was obviously listening to her brother.
“Remember, he is jealous of whoever gets too close to Enya.” Zander winked.
“We can look at you the same way. You were hurt because you were attacked and now you can‘t mark
me. You are the only one who is suggesting Maynard had something going on. So you could be the
only one worried about Maynard marking me. So tell me, where were you when Maynard went
missing?” I stated very calmly, not letting his taunts get to me. I remember he threatened to take
revenge on all of us. Aenean
“I was with Lazlo,” he said. “When I called Christina, I was already outside the academy and in sight of
Lazlo, who was also taking a stroll on the road. Ever since then we haven‘t left each other‘s sight,”
Zander stated very confidently, and Lazlo nodded to support his ims.
“If we are done pointing fingers at each other, I think we should leave to search for Maynard now,”
Lazlo interrupted us at the right moment. Zander and I had only turned against each other ever since
that incident in the cabin happened. It was just bizarre that he nned the date. He chose the ce but
used me of his attack.
“But what happened? How the hell did he go missing, and how do you know he is missing and not out
on a stroll?” Zander was still rtively calmer than us. He was probably thinking we girls were just
overreacting.
“One second he is in the bathroom, and the next second he is missing. He opened the bathroom door
and found him gone.
There is a window broken down, so I am assuming he ran out of there.” I exined everything to them
and lost them in thest
part.
“He escaped? But you said something got him.” Lazlo grimaced in bewilderment.
“I mean, I heard some noises from inside. Some weird grunting that didn‘t sound like Maynard‘s wolf.” |
exined, and he then faintly nodded at me.
“I am calling his number and he is not picking up either,” Christina said in tears.
“Where is Thiago?” It was then Zander brought him up, making us all go silent and share a nce.
“I don‘t know. Why are you asking?” I asked, almost in a defensive tone.
“Isn‘t it weird how he is the one missing every time something happens to one of us?” Zander stated
this casually, but he knew what he was doing.
“Because we all cannot stick together all the times,” I defended Thiago, noticing Lazlo picking up his
phone and probably calling Thiago.
“He is not picking up my calls,” Lazlo pouted, staring at me for a reaction.
“As if he would pick up your calls after all the arguments you two have been having.” | rolled my eyes
and tried calling Thiago myself. He didn‘t pick up my calls, either.
“Why don‘t you try calling Maynard?” Zander suggested as he sat down on the bed carelessly.
“I did. He is not picking up my calls,” Christina answered.

“I am asking Enya, why doesn‘t she give it a try?” His eyes held poison. He was putting us against each
other, and it wasn‘t the right thing to do in a situation like this.
“One of us is missing, and this is how you are trying to help us?” I raised my voice, but noticed the
smirk growing across his lips.
“Call him.” That demand came from Christina‘s lips. I turned to her in shock and stared at her in
disbelief.
“You are going to let your brother get into your head and ruin everything you have with your mate?” I
asked, not ready to fall prey to Zander‘s toxic schemes.
“Well, then call him and prove him wrong,” she demanded, even stubbornly this time. Her eyes had
tears in them. Good job hurting your sister, Zander. I cannot believe how someone could be so
maniptive.
“Fine, I will do that, but remember you will never forgive yourself
for doubting your mate,” I said, and noticed Lazlo lowering his head.
We have all been through this shit. We learn and grow to respect and trust our mates.
“Trust cannot be bought from a shop. A trustworthy person today can break your trust tomorrow. The
only person who we should rely on is ourselves. Never look away from the red gs.” Zander said as
he tried to bnce his phone on the tip of his finger.
“Fine.” | stared into Christina‘s eyes and dialed Maynard‘s number.
Ring..
And then he picked up my call on the very first ring.
