Chapter 352
“That’s one way to joke about it,” I smiled, shaking my head and maybe trying to convince myself he didn’t mean to
say that. Maybe it was his way of calming his nerves down.
I tried to convince myself, but the intense look he was giving me would drag me back to reality.
“I said what I said. I want to kiss you, touch you an—,” before he could keep talking, I rushed and placed my hand
on his mouth to silence him.
“Don’t say it again,” I uttered with my heart pounding loudly in my chest.
“Why?” grabbing my wrist, he removed my hand from his mouth and dragged me closer.
“You were the one who gave me the option to ask you anything. But now that I am telling you what can calm me
down, you are pulling away from me.” He grunted, his eyes scanning my face hungrily.
“May–nard! Things have changed. You have a mate, a fiancé, who is a lovely person. I would not want you to throw
everything out just because you are angry at me and want to punish me,” I muttered, trying to free my wrist and
looking away when he deepened his stare at my face.
“Kissing me is a punishment?” He sounded upset. “I don’t care if you hid anything from me. I don’t care what your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmother did to me. I don’t fucking care what Christina will think of me because, right at this moment, it’s hard to see
you and not be able to touch you.” He pulled me even closer, and I landed on his chest.
128 MB “Stop! I don’t want to betray anyone.” I tried to get away from him, but he had wrapped his other arm
around my back and caged me tightly.
“So you are admitting that you are only holding back because of the others?” He whispered, and my body
shuddered at his words.
“No!” I finally freed myself and jumped away from him. I landed on my buttocks, watching him stare at my face.
“You had me. You had every day to touch me, to kiss me, but you decided to leave me without even talking to me.
It was so easy for you to just plan our breakup. You could have come to me to find a solution instead of my
elimination from your life,” I said it all in tears and watched his jaw meet the floor.
“Do you think I’m stupid and would believe whatever story you tell me? You were upset and worried about the
whole assassination plan of your mother against me, but you also assassinated my character when you were bad-
mouthing me. to your friends. That wasn’t part of the plan. That was just your disappointment in our sex life, and
instead of talking to me about it, you ratted it out to your friends,” I finally got the courage to get up on my feet and
look down upon him, saying, “You claimed I was boring, so why do you want to be with this boring person now?” |
finished what I wanted to say and then walked back inside the room once it was confirmed he wasn’t upset about
the diary thing.
Only I know how I lived those days of betrayal. Once I had rested in the bed, I fell asleep.
The next morning was the most awkward day for me. Maynard refused to eat breakfast, and everybody thought it

‘Why do you think he suddenly realized he wants to —sleep with us?’ I asked Nia, brainstorming as I sat in the
cafeteria and played with my food.
‘Maybe that’s his way of getting his control back? Our mom made his life miserable and controlled him for years.
Maybe sleeping with you will give him that satisfaction?” She said this, and I couldn’t help but agree with her. That
has to be it.
“Do you mind if I just sit here?” I heard Corbin say and then talk about the seat next to mine. I rolled my eyes while
sneakily watching Lazlo stare at Corbin. He was sitting at the same table, but across from me. He hadn’t spoken to
me since morning, and I didn’t try either.
“Lazlo! What kind of mate are you? Your mate barely eats anything, and you don’t take care of her. I swear if I had
a mate like her–,” Corbin rubbed his palms while looking my way and snickered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Enya! Let’s go,” Lazlo got out of the chair and ordered me to follow him.
“Why don’t you leave, Corbin? I don’t want you to sit with me.” I turned to Corbin instead and told him to leave. It
was stupid to leave whenever he came to join us. We cannot keep running away from him.
“What? I just wanted to sit and eat in peace.” Corbin used an innocent voice and took a bite out of his sandwich.
“Enya! Let’s go,” Lazlo repeated as he pulled his hand out for

commented.
“Dude! If she wants to listen to your commands, let her be. She is not a regular she-wolf who you can order
around.” His words made Lazlo pull his hand back and stare at me in silence.
“Will you shut up?” | told Corbin, watching Lazlo look upset.
“Let’s go.” I walked over to Lazlo and held his hand to walk away with him in front of Corbin, who dropped his
sandwich the moment his eyes landed on our interlocked hands.
“I am sorry for what he said,” Once we were outside the cafeteria, I apologized to Lazlo.
“It is okay. He is not wrong. You are a powerful creature. I shouldn’t let you know what to do or what not to do.” His
voice was filled with agony and disappointment.
I wished I could ask him if he regretted marking me, but I didn t want to cause more trouble for now.
