CHAPTER 250

250 Let’s Mark That Baby Girl

“That is so scary” Christina complained while being in Maynard‘s arms, who hadn‘t raised his face this entire time.

We were sent back to our rooms after Jessica ended her life, claiming the monster made her do it. Her last letter was just as painful to read as well.

“I think we messed up,” I whispered, sitting in my bed and covering my face in my hands, “Thiago was on the right track and we brought in our issues.” I was angry at myself for diverting Thiago. He was keeping her safe and sane. Thiago had managed to make her break the mind–link with the monster, but sadly enough, the monster got the power back over her.

“It is not your fault. We could have never known,” Zander eyed me, telling me to not blame myself. I noticed how uncomfortable he was when watching Christina in Maynard‘s arms. But it was mostly Christina sticking to Maynard. He had his arm only loosely wrapped around her.

“But we knew. That was the problem. We knew there were much bigger issues, yet we focused on ourselves,” I sighed. Thiago accompanied Mr. Tripper after his name was brought up in the letter. Jessica thanked him for helping her on the island.

“Maynard must know something.” Lazlo snapped the silence and everybody frowned.

“I mean, he is the one who has killed people before.” that look on his face when he said that meant one thing. He heard everything when the rogues were talking about it while pointing a gun at Maynard.

“What do you mean by that? We have all killed someone in that rogue war.” Christina jumped forward in defense of Maynard. At the same time, Thiago walked into the room. He looked sad and disappointed in himself.

I wanted to ask him if he was okay, but there was a much bigger issue being discussed. I wanted Maynard to take responsibility for his sins if he had committed any. I don‘t know what it was, but now that I was looking at his face; I felt like there was more to the story than he was telling us.

“Well, not everybody killed their brother, raped and killed their brother‘s mate,” Lazio, who was angry at multiple things, yelled after he was done with everything. The reactions were outrageous. Zander jumped off the bed and the first thing he did was snatch his sister away from Maynard‘s arms. Thiago looked at me instead of Maynard or the others to make sure I was fine.

“That is not true,” Christina yelled, trying to free herself from her brother‘s arms.

“Lazlo! you need to fuck off,” Thiago got on his feet to warn Lazlo into backing off. Maynard hadn‘t raised his face all this time. He was leaning against the wall, defeatedly

“Let‘s see if you want me to fuck off when you know the truth. He is the reason they killed your baby because they thought it was his baby,” Lazlo hit the final nail in the coffin, “They wanted him and abducted Enya. She went through all that because of him.” Lazlo yelled, shocking Thiago and the others.

“I always knew there was something about him that made it so hard for me to like him,” Zander added. Christina had stopped struggling at this point.

“They thought it was his baby? Is it his fault that they thou—–ght it was wrong?” Thiago‘ s voice cracked when talking about our baby. It must not have been easy for him to talk about our loss, but he was still fighting to defend Maynard.

“Maynard! Tell them it is not true,” Christina demanded as she hugged herself and watched him with teary eyes.

Instead of responding to us, Maynard rushed towards the exit. His sudden departure made Christina let out a gasp of realization.

“See! He is the killer of your child, not–—” Lazlo couldn‘t finish what he was trying to say because Thiago interrupted him.

“We have already suffered enough. So it will be better if you will not use the loss of our baby to throw your tantrum at someone,” Thiago said as he sat down again and only raised his eyes to glare at Lazio.

“Besides, let him come out of his shell and talk to us first. We will blame him and present him before the counselors. Let‘s give him a few days.” Thiago set the timer for Maynard. I could tell Lazlo wasn‘t happy about it. Was it because he didn‘t like Thiago taking the charge or because Maynard jeopardized my life? I wasn‘t sure. However, I was seeing Thiago‘s point.

Although Maynard did say he hid the rape of Olivia, he didn‘t explain anything else.

“What about the monster?” Zander changed the subject entirely and brought our focus back to the monster.

“He killed Jessica, now he is free to find his next mate,” Zander added as he looked my

way. It was no surprise I was going to be his next victim.

“That will not happen. He will have to go through us before he even tries something.” Thiago stated confidently.

“But we need to make sure we protect Enya,” Zander said, “Have you heard from your wolf yet?” he asked me and I shook my head.

“Why not?” Thiago frowned.

“I didn‘t call for her. I don‘t know how to sympathize with her.” I was scared of knowing what state she was in.

“Enya! you are more powerful and strong than you know. Just talk to her, okay?” Thiago suggested, and Zander nodded in agreement. It was weird watching them agree with each other instead of arguing back and forth.

However, I didn‘t realize somebody was feeling left out.

“And of course, my input doesn‘t matter, so I will just leave.” With a sarcastic smile on his lips, Lazlo scoffed and ran out of the room to express that he wanted to be included. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Yeah! Enya has two mates and a baby.” Zander was the type to not learn to quit yammering. Christina sneakily left the room but caught the eye of her brother. Zander, after shaking his head, left the room to accompany her and probably stop her from going after Maynard.

“I know what we can do.” Thiago caught my attention again when he claimed to have an idea. “We all need to mark you,” he whispered under his breath, but enough for me to hear him and get shivers down my spine.

**********************

They are going to mark Enya. Do you think Thiago is right for suggesting they should all mark her?
