Chapter 423


    423 Tricked By My Mate.


    I hid the letter again, as I felt like he only wrote to give me hope. The numbers have dropped to 3, and


    he still hasn’te. He was no magician; I am pretty sure he wrote nothing after 3.


    “Are theying with us?” I asked Lazlo when I reached the parking lot. I watched Christina and


    Maynard walk out of the mansion, hand in hand, and all set for dinner.


    “They are not. They are headed for dinner. Maynard has to mend what you ruined for them,” Lazlo


    commented before rushing into the car and leaving me outside to take the other car. I now knew why


    he asked me to sit in a separate car. He just didn’t want me with him.


    I wondered when he watched the video. Or who was the first one to bring up that video because,st


    time I checked, both Christina and Lazlo were nicer to me? Well, thatst time was two years ago.


    I rolled into the car alone, and soon our journey began. I wasn''tfortable heading back to Corbin’s


    pack. What if I bump into him?


    So many thoughts had been upying my mind, and there seemed to be no end to my misery. I


    checked my ount sneakily when the guard wasn’t peering into my phone to see if I had enough


    money to live off of for a few months before I settled into the life of a rogue.


    Some thousand dors!


    Not bad. I don’t really remember how I saved this much because Lazlo never gave me any monthly


    allowance, and neither did I ask for it. I would just save whatever I could get from the little online


    projects I would submit.


    It wasn’t too much, but it was also not too little. However, living the life of a rogue requires much more


    than that.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    “It will be fine. It is better than nothing,” I whispered to myself, hyping myself up for this significant


    change in my life. Now that everybody has let me down, I don’t know how I can ever look them in the


    eye and call them my mates or friends.


    From being desirable to being hated by everyone, I never thought my life would turn out this way. Lazlo


    got off the car and went inside the house without even waiting for me. It was going to be awkward to


    walk into the house alone. They would know we didn’te together even if we left home together.


    However, the awkwardness was only going tost for one more night, and then I would be away from


    all these judgy eyes.


    Walking into the house and found everyone in the living room. Lazlo had already sat down with Ethen


    and Vinona while ine was in the kitchen with her new mate. She finally found her mate, an ex-


    warrior of the Shadow Winder pack. It sucks to watch him leave his pack and serve Corbin.


    “I wanted you guys to meet Trever Floyd,” Vinona said excitedly when ine walked out of the kitchen


    with a dark- haired guy behind her.


    “Oh! Enya is finally here,” she said, then got distracted by me, but that didn’t stop her from rolling her


    eyes. As we all know, when your own mate doesn’t respect you, nobody else does.


    “Hi,” I awkwardly said, and I sat down on the helplessly ced sofa in the corner. Thest time I came


    here, I was in full


    swing. I’ve kind of lost my charm now.


    “Guys! Meet Trev! He is an ex-g*mma warrior of the Shadow Winder Pack, but now he works closely


    with the alpha king,” ine said in an excited tone, wrapping her arms around his arm and introducing


    him to everyone.


    “How are you, buddy?” Lazlo asked, shaking hands with him. Trev’s hazel eyes traveled around and


    stopped right when theyid upon me.


    “Hi, Enya!” he said, taking a weird pause between the two simple words.


    “Hi,” I returned the favor, but kept myself in the corner. As they too sat down, the door opened, and in


    came Christian and Maynard.


    I wasn’t expecting them. Why would theye here? My body shuddered at the worst they could be


    nning for me. My gaze steered away to Lazlo, who was shaking his leg and probably watching me


    from the corner of his eyes. So he lied to me when I asked him if they were joining us.


    I just couldn’t understand what their purpose was ining here.


    “Oh! We have more guests?” ine frowned and stood up to greet Maynard and Christina. From the


    looks of her face, even she didn’t know they wereing over. I sneakily got up from the sofa and sat


    on the couch with Lazlo to have a word with him. My heart rate had be inconsistent after watching


    them join us.


    “What are they doing here?” I muttered to Lazlo, getting tired of their shenanigans.


    “Don’t be mannerless and whisper when there are so many people around us,” he retorted, nuzzling


    me away with the force of his elbow. I watched ine stare at him doing so and then smile in


    satisfaction. It was no surprise that my mate didn’t treat me well. I just didn’t want my enemies to know


    about it and celebrate it.


    “Hey!” Christina spoke up while sitting awkwardly on a separate couch with Maynard. Maynard hadn’t


    lifted his face to look at me after he tricked me into thinking he cared about me.


    Now that they have settled down, the environment has turned very iffy. Nobody knew what to say or


    what to do until the bell rang again.


    “It must be him.” The smile on Vinona’s face didn’t give a hint that whoever was at the door was an


    uninvited guest.


    She got out of her seat and rushed to answer the door. After a few seconds, she returned with him


    behind her. I gulped with difficulty when watching Alpha King Corbin enter the living room with the


    biggest smirk drawn over his lips.


    “What is going on, Lazlo?” I asked out of anxiety, and before I could even move off the couch, I felt


    Lazlo’s grip on my wrist. He made sure I didn’t leave or disrespect Corbin by walking out on him.


    “I am d you are all here for the meeting,” Corbin said, making deep eye contact with me. It was


    enough for me to know this dinner was no family dinner, but a meeting he called for.
