Chapter 353
2 vow. Tv Thave been searching for Thiago on my own for days, but there were no signs of him. He seemed to have
vanished from the face of the earth.
I was beginning to feel like he was somewhere around and knew I was looking for him, but then again, he would
have come out at least. I couldn’t locate him either. Even when trying to locate his scent.
“I am going to miss you guys.” Christina was able to break my attention from the empty wall I had been staring at
while waiting for Maynard to come to the room. His punishment was finally over, so he had left to speak to the
principal about Christina. Since he was an alpha mate of hers, he could literally help her out.
“Are you excited about meeting his pack members?” Lazio asked, standing on my right side and talking to Christina
on my left.
“I am. But I am also nervous because he is finally going to speak to his mother. I am worried about what will
happen when we arrive there.” She pouted, playing with her fingers nervously.
“It will all be fine. And if anything happens, call me. I will be there to fight them for you.” Lazlo smiled at her,
comforting her with his innocent and genuine smile. “Everything will be fine. Once she gets the punishment, you will
be able to live there peacefully,” I reassured her, and that’s when I noticed Lazlo eyeing me to not scare her.
“I will go see where he is.” Christina walked out of the room to check up on Maynard, so I decided to speak to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLazlo.
“I wasn’t scaring her.” I rolled my eyes.
“But don’t say things like she will suffer if his mother doesn’t get punished,” Lazlo complained, leaving my side and
checking their bags.
“This wasn’t my intention, but okay.” I turned my face toward the other side of him. Lately, he has been acting
super weird toward me. It wasn’t something too extreme, but the little things were worrisome. For example, he
would always talk as if I could not feel pain.
“I know. But she is a bit too fragile and innocent. That silly girl takes things way too seriously.” He shook his head
when talking about Christina, and my heart crumbled a bit. I wasn’t jealous or anything, but I was a little
uncomfortable.
“Here they come,” Lazlo announced when Maynard and Christina walked into the room hand in hand. It was pretty
obvious from the smiles they were giving me that they were extremely happy.
“I am leaving with him.” She clapped her hands, and Lazio jumped on Maynard to hug him.
“I am so happy for you.” I took a step forward and hugged her tightly. While patting her back, I saw Maynard
watching me behind Lazlo’s back. I stole eyes from him. We haven’t talked again since that night. I was sort of
relieved that they were leaving before Lazlo or Christina noticed the awkwardness between us and concluded it was
not because of the diary issue.
“Let me grab your bags and help you out,” Lazlo voiced happily as he snatched the bags out of Maynard’s hands.
“Hey, I can carry my bag,” Christina pouted, and she picked up the very small handbag, making Lazlo smile at her
as if it were the most innocent act.
I had no animosity toward her. In fact, she had taken my side more than anyone else in the room. It was just the
comparison Lazlo would make that made me uncomfortable at times. As the two walked out of the room before us,
I watched Maynard look around and stand tall in silence.
“I heard you are going back and putting your mother on trial,” I said, taking deep breaths as it was pretty awkward
watching him act all suspicious.
“Are you coming with us?” he asked, and my eyes bugged out of their sockets. “I mean, with Lazlo?” he corrected
himself.
“I will need some strength and support,” he added, and I couldn’t help but nod at his invitation.
“We will be there beside you,” I promised.
“I know I cannot ask much, but can I at least get a hug?” He stepped closer, and I automatically stepped back. It
took me a second to realize I didn’t have to because he wasn’t planning anything else.
“Sure,” I sounded absent.
I was just not ready to be friendly with him again. I feared giving him any hints that would make him feel some sort
of way about me.

didn’t
seem familiar. It had been too long since we felt that way toward each other. At least I didn’t. I was over that phase
where I was picking and selecting mates.
“I am going to miss you the most,” I felt his breath fan against my neck as he whispered and buried his face, “I am
never going to stop loving you.” It was then that my eyes jumped out and I pushed him away. Not too aggressively,
but playfully.
“Come on, now is not the time to joke about anything. Your fiancé is waiting for you outside,” I said, trying to look
around and not at his eyes. The way he would stare at me and not move a muscle would make me feel really
uneasy at times.
“Well, then! it is a goodbye for now.” He took a few steps backward and then finally turned around to leave. Now
that I was the only one left in the room, I couldn’t help but recall the very first day of my arrival.
‘He was standing all wet with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Things were so different back then. We didn’t
have powers, yet we didn’t feel so miserable,’ Nia whispered, making me realize how much has changed during
that one year and a few months.
And soon Lazlo would be gone too,’ she added.
“But we will stop missing the day Thiago left.’
She was right. He took something of mine with him. I just had to sit down and deal with the pain.
