Chapter 444


    444-Maybe He Seeks Revenge.


    I stayed in my room and cried my heart out for a few minutes, and then I took a shower. I wasn’t


    too sad, just a little


    worried because I wanted to help Thiagoe out. Theo’s return meant Thiago can be back too. Kellic


    e was the one worrying me a little. Did he bring her with him from the other side


    or meet her overnight? Was Theo genuinely in love with her?


    What if Thiago loved me but his Lycan loved this new girl?


    All these thoughts were making me nauseous, and then I heard a knock


    on the door. With my hair still wet, and the blue silk gown unable to keep my


    body warm, I got out of bed to answer the door.


    “Why did you lock the door?” Lazlo asked, staring at my as he waited for me to get


    out of his way and let him in.

    “I don’t remember talking about staying under the same roof again after I caught you having an


    affair for two years,” I said, stepping aside only so that I could have a word with him.


    “It is not like you hav


    —,” he tried to talk, but me shaking my head put a halt to whatever he was going to say.


    “Fine. I cheated on you because


    —


    —-,” the pause he took


    gave me time to respond to him.


    “Because you fell out of love with me,” I said, and, weirdly enough, no tears were formed in


    my eyes this time.


    “That’s not true,” he argued aggressively, trying to close the


    door after us.


    “Don’t. I don’t want to stay in the same room as you. You take your room back; I will go stay in one


    of the guest rooms,” I


    decided, and as I grabbed my pillow, he came my way.


    “I know why you so desperately want to go to the guest room,” he muttered, refusing to get out of my w


    ay.


    “Why act stubborn if you already know?” I shrugged, “Lazlo! I am


    not going to be a victim of your alpha ego again. You cannot stop me from talking to him just beca


    use your alpha ego wants to win apetition. I am no longer a trophy.


    I hope you get it this time. Besides, he is my mate too and you will be seeing him a lot now. So if you ar


    e bothered, stay in your room when he is around.” I looked him in the eye and said it in the most


    confident tone. The tone I might have not used after that night two years ago.


    “You are making a big mistake. He only wants to fool you so that he can ruin us all. He seeks revenge


    and nothing else,” he muttered under his breath, his eyes digging holes through mine.


    “I will be the judge of that,” I said, giving him the same look before walking towards the door.


    “You were never apetition, a challenge, or a trophy to me. I loved you, and I still do. I just


    had my weak moments.” His ims stopped me in my tracks. I turned to smile his way.


    “I was a bird you used to watch fly over your head. So the instant I sat on your


    shoulder, you captured me, clipped my wings, and threw me in a cage. You


    loved having control over me because you always thought I was disobedient.” I said quietly, without sho


    wing any emotion on my face.


    There was so much that had happened in those two years that taking him seriously was no


    longer an option for me.


    “That’s what my father taught me to do. He taught me to cage who I love, to always put them through


    hardships, and always make them keep trying to pursue me. Although it is not a good excuse, I admit, I


    did what I thought was right,” he confessed, having no remorse back in the day whenever he mistreate


    d me.

    “As you should, because now I can do whatever I want to do freely.” Finally, a smile crept over my lips.


    “Thank you for the


    closure,” I added, and he instantly shook his head, not believing I should take it as a hint that we are


    over.


    “I am tired. I don’t have the energy for any more arguments,” | murmured


    and walked out of the room with a pillow tucked under my arm.


    Instead of heading to the guest rooms, I sat in the living room, hugging my pillow. Life is


    so weird. These alphas who were treating me as if I didn’t even exist were seen acting


    differently today.


    Why were they so intimidated by the arrival of Thiago?


    “Thinking about me?” I heard Theo enter the living room and watched him pass me a wink.


    “Everything!” I said, sliding to the side when he sat beside me on the same couch.


    “Why did you let them yell at you?” he asked, hunching over and resting his elbows on his knees.


    “Because sometimes you just need to stand silent and let


    others show their true colors. You


    want to see how far they are willing to go in hurting you when there is no


    interruption,” I stated, leaning back on the couch and resting my head back.


    “You haven’t eaten anything,” he asked, changing the subject.


    “I barely eat anymore.” I closed my eyes to avoid staring at him like an idiot.


    “That’s a bad habit. You need to consume energy from other sources,” he disagreed with me and


    suddenly I felt his finger brush against my cheek. I shot my eyes open and watched him pull away and r


    his hands in defense.


    “Just removing that strand,” he pointed at my hair.


    “It wasn’t bothering me, though.” I sighed, straitening my back this time.


    “Then what is bothering you? Or should I ask, who is bothering you?” he


    asked in a serious and deadly tone.


    “You know already.” I said, “I don’t want J


    to be taken away by Corbin,” I said, and augh from his side was all I got.


    “So you are not helping


    her? Just so you know, she used to be best friends with Thiago. She has given him her loyalty, her all, a


    want to help her?” I raised a question since I didn’t understand why he didn’t care about her.


    “And that’s exactly why I don’t want to help her,” he said, turning to me


    with a sarcastic smirk on his lips until he realized what he had said.
