Chapter 437
437-Hand On Her Thigh.
I didn’t stay awake for the rest of the car ride. I hated the fact that I have become so weak that a littlehead bump and I passed out like nothing.
I woke up hours later in my mansion instead. They had taken me home after treating my wounds.Sadly, they couldn’t give me vampire blood back to back. The night was still a mystery, and I couldn’tseem to rest until I finally figured out what happened.
When getting out of bed, I ambled my way into the bathroom and took a quick shower before slippinginto a black dress and walking out of the room to look for anyone who can inform me what is going on.
“I don’t understand what all that was about.” Lazlo’s voice was coming from the living room, so I peeredinside and found everybody presents there. By everybody, I mean including Corbin.
“I think it was just a bad night, and we shouldn’t think too much into it,” Corbin sighed, looking allcomfortable. What if he was behind all this mess?
“I think he is right,” Christina agreed with him, shrugging her shoulders and cherishing the tea. Lazlowas shamelessly sitting with Valerie, with his hand on her thigh.
“That was not a nightmare. It happened. We cannot look away from it.” avoiding personal grudges, Iwalked out to be in their sight. Corbin passed me a quick glance and smirked at the wounds I had beeninflicted with last night.
“That surely was a nightmare for you,” Corbin commented in a sneaky tone. “Oh! And by the way,congratulations on your new chosen mate. When is the mating ceremony?” he purposely turned toLazlo. I kind of got the idea that Lazlo made the announcement of accepting Valeria after last night.
I let out a scoff and turned my face down, swallowing the tears.
“Very soon!” Valerie answered since Lazlo was too ashamed to talk in front of me. Maynard had hiseyes on me whenever nobody was watching. But those empty stares won’t fool me anymore. Neitherdid I care about having a mate anymore.
“Shameless!” I commented.
“She is someone you will be seeing around a lot. She and I had been h**king up for a while, but itwasn’t anything serious until now. So, Enya, I want you to respect her when she comes over. If youcannot deal with it, you can stick in your room until she is gone,” Lazlo instantly defended his decision,but I was over it by now.novelbin
“What is this?” I then frowned when watching the map on the table. “Is it the details about theearthquake from last night?” I asked, and grabbed the files. The earthquake originated in one particulararea.
“Why don’t you rest a little more? I will bring you food an—,” Lazlo gently slipped his hand off ofValerie’s thigh and got up to stand behind me and whisper to me this time.
“I am fine,” I answered, showing no emotions or looking his way.
“This originated from our academy,” I gasped, dropping the files and picking another one to see wherethe first power cut happened. “Same!” I said, and then I checked the storm’s origin, and everythingstarted at the d*mn academy.
“What does it mean?” Maynard straightened his back, unwrapping his fingers from Christina’s hand byforce, it seemed, since she didn’t want to let go.
“It means nothing,” Corbin said.
“Do you remember the night the portal opened?” I ignored Corbin and focused on the bigger issue athand.
“What?” Christian rolled her eyes. “Enya! I know you desperately want to be included, but there are notheories,” she added in desperation. But this time, Maynard gestured at her to not say much.
“What? don’t you see she is only trying to get attention for herself?” Christina didn’t hold back andobjected.
“Christina!” Lazlo turned to shake his head at her; “she is just trying to help,” he added, and I broke myattention from the file to glare at him. It was funny how they would randomly take my side here andthere to keep me around.
“I am in my right mind, and I know what I am talking about. Don’t you all think it is a bit weird that thesame thing happened two years ago?” I raised my voice when
questioning their knowledge. “I get that I lost my powers, but did you all lose your brains too?” I staredat all of them one by one. Valeria was watching me with a weird look on her face. She had only seenme either be silent or cry so far.
“So what are you suggesting?” Corbin asked, pulling one leg over the other and leaning backcomfortably.
“The knocking on the closed doors could be the sign of someone using the portal to come to our world,”I said out loud. An eerie silence took over everyone. The possibility of another monster rushing back toour world with a hint of who else could come along tied our lips together.
“I call it bull*hit!” Corbin clapped his hands to dismiss the meeting. “I am done with talking about thisnonsense. I actually have another commitment. In case you haven’t noticed, I did the marking
ceremony with my mate last night.” He got up from the seat and pointed his finger at his neck, showingus the freshly carved mark.
“Congrat—,” Lazlo said, and everybody else was in the process of congratulating him when I shut themup.
“F*ck off!” I yelled, turning to Corbin, “You marked Janet by force?” I yelled as I realized what he haddone while we were worried about the disaster.
“Rude! But since you asked, yes! We marked each other.” He smiled confidently, deepening his stareinto my eyes.
“That was your doing, wasn’t it?” I yelled, “The disaster was to distract us!” I shouted, and he frowned.
“You are giving me way too much credit,” he said, rolling his eyes. I wanted to scream some more athim until my phone started ringing like crazy.
“Janet!” I attended the call in a hurry, getting why she must be calling me. I wondered how she spentthe night and day sitting on this information and suffering alone.
“Oh! My sweet mate is on call,” Corbin said, and he s*atched my phone out of my hands.
“Give it back to me,” I grunted, trying to jump for my phone, but he held it pretty high from me and put iton speaker.
“Enya! something happened last night!” She whispered, trying to be hush-hush. Little did she know Ialready knew what had happened.
