Chapter 387


    387-When Your Mate Is Heartless


    I was shivering when I raised my hands and instantly put them down, even


    when he was right in my face now.


    He raised his w to attack me, and that’s when I fell behind out of fear. He was


    grunting when he crawled on top of me.


    It was too dark on the road. Since the house was an abandoned one and was


    known to be a witch’s house, there was no poption even for miles around.


    He let out a howl beforeunching an attack. As he raised his hand to hit me,


    the world seemed to have gone numb. Nobody said a word. We both stared into


    each other’s eyes silently. I noticed how red his eyes were.


    Enter title…


    He was a Lycan, a humanoid wolf. His body was big and broad.


    He stared at me in silence for a few minutes, even before he jumped off me and


    sprinted away. I couldn’t see Thiago’s face, but I felt him in his eyes.


    I stayed on the road, even minutester.


    ‘I knew he was around,’ Nia sounded much happier when gushing over her


    ability to sense him in the surroundings.


    ‘I wonder what made hime back,’ she proceeded to talk while I got on my


    feet to get back to the mission at hand.


    ‘I know I should have been happy to see him around, but the fact that he had


    turn—ed into a full lycan just shattered my heart,’ I whimpered when trying to


    talk. Tears blurred my vision as I snorted and walked on the empty road. I was


    sobbing so loudly for at least five minutes that I forgot I had to be somewhere.


    A monstrous howl in the distance shook me awake. I cleared the tears with the


    back of my hand and bolted back to the academy. They must still be looking for


    me. The sad part was that I didn’t get to find any spell books that could help us.


    What were we going to do now?


    While running back into the academy again, I was weed by a horrifying


    sight. Many of our students have been left wounded while the others were trying


    their best to survive.


    The loud music had caused them severe headaches. Seeing me enter the


    academy brought smiles to their faces. I felt guilty for returning empty-handed.


    After making it to the floor where Corbin and Lazio were, I let out a sigh to see


    them alive and kicking.


    “Enya! you are back!” Lazio yelled, rushing over in my direction and scanning


    my hands.


    “You didn’t bring any spell books,” he asked, looking anxious.


    “There were none,” I whispered, lowering my face in guilt.


    “What? How are you going to fight them then?” He almost seemed to be


    scolding me. He stepped back and grasped his hair in his fist, walking back and


    forth.


    “What is going on there?” I asked him, looking at the she-wolf they were trying


    to drag into a room.


    “The fear and noise are making them go crazy. Her mind was so distracted that


    when she tried to transition, she couldn’t reach her wolf. It irked her to the point


    that she decided to run into walls. Things are going downhill pretty quickly. If we


    don’t find a solution soon, it will be all of us banging our heads against the wall.”


    Lazio exined her condition in a sad tone.


    I couldn’t even look at her. The way she was howling and struggling to break


    free from Corbin’s grasp to harm herself was heartbreaking.


    “I saw him,” I whispered, getting Lazio’s attention.


    “What? saw who?” he asked, hunching over to look at my face even more


    clearly.


    “Thiago!” I said his name under my breath.


    “Really? Where?” The shine in Lazio’s eyes reminded me of their friendship.


    They used to be so close before everything went south.


    “He has transformed into a full Lycan,” I announced, wearing a brave face even


    when I was dying inside. This night was not supposed to be for this kind of


    news. I lost most of my confidence after seeing him.


    “Oh, shit!” Lazio sighed, “did he attack you?” He then ced his hands on his


    waist and watched my face with full attention.


    “That’s the thing; he didn’t. Even when he could, he just didn’t,” I murmured, and


    tears sprung down my eyes.


    “Why did hee back then? Isn’t it weird how he and the witches arrived at


    the same time?” Lazio continued to express curiosity, as Thiago would have


    never returned after the transition. We lost him. This new him was nothing like


    him. It was Theo who wouldn’t care about anyone, so why did he return? Why


    not attack me?


    “He left because he found out about my mother being the witch who cursed him.


    When he heard me talk about sacrificing the witch, he ran away. The fear of me


    sacrificing myself made him run away. Now! I don’t know why his lycan is back,”


    I said as I missed Thiago deeply.


    The fact that he ran away because he would rather suffer than watch me suffer


    reminded me why he always had a special ce in my heart.


    “Hm! He is lucky that you still talk about him with so much love and affection. I


    guess that is the secret of love. Lose them, and you will know their worth,”


    Lazio’s little scoff confused me. He wasn’t suggesting that I don’t show love to


    him, was he?


    “I have shown love to you, Lazio. It is just I don’t feel the same from you


    anymore,” I retorted when felt like being questioned over my love for him.


    It was indeed true that my feelings changed for him, but it was because of his

    own behavior. There are times when you don’t love someone too much. The


    intensity of love fluctuates with the way they treat you.


    “That is not important right now,” was his response, which made me shake my


    head at him in disbelief.
