Author's POV:
Two Years Ago:
Christina had yet to expose Enya's mother's truth to Maynard, but prior to that, she had visited Enya’sold home with Enya,
Maynard, and Lazio. It was hard for her to be friendly with Enya and always be there for her when, inreality, she just wanted her out of the picture now.
Are you okay?" Christina heard Maynard ask Lazio, who looked stunned. He was staring at Enya'sface, making Christina think something must have happened. She noticed Lazio was looking straight atthe photo frames.
"Lazio?" Enya called for him, but he didn't even blink. The intensity he was looking at her was makingChristina uncomfortable. If looks could kill. Christina bet Lazio would have murdered Enya by now.
It was rare to watch any of them look at her with these glares, so Christina was intrigued to know whatwas going on.
“Lazio!” Maynard shook him awake while Christina stayed silent, enjoying the show. I am sorry!” Laziowhispered.
"It's too dusty for me. I will wait outside,” he rushed out of the house, leaving us all confused by him.Christina noticed Enya and Maynard. She knew they would talk the moment she left, but she had noother choice left. She had to rush after Lazio because she believed she would never get a better timethan this.
"I will go see if he needs help.’ Christina said, smiling sadly at Enya before running out of the house.
She found Lazio in his backyard and in his feelings.
"Hey! Are you okay?” Christina asked him, watching him pass her a sweet but sad smile.
“I am fine. It was just a bit dusty. Why did you come out?” Lazio asked her, watching her reach him.
"I didn’t want to leave you alone. I saw Enya feeling so low when you left,” she said, knowing Laziowould not believe her friends. But she didn’t say that to make Enya look good. She wanted to look goodfor trying to defend Enya’s actions.
“Then why didn't she come here to check on me?" Lazio asked, and Christina pretended to look down.
"Don't give me excuses on her behalf,” Lazio said, and she knew he was already feeling some type ofway about Enya. Christina had been filling his ears with malice, but today was the right time to bondeven more with him.
“I am not. I just don't want you guys to separate,” Christina sighed, looking down at his face.
“We will not separate. Bitter moments are a part of any relationship," Lazio reassured her, as there wasno way he was thinking about leaving Enya. Just because he was upset and angry with her didn't meanhe would leave her.
“Lazio! I grew up alone. I heard my parents separate, and after that, our lives turned into a mess. I justget scared at the idea of anyone separating.” Christina pouted sadly, sighing and making Lazio wonderwhat was going on with her.
"But enough about me. Tell me, why did you come out?" She asked him, but he refused to tell heranything before he spoke to Enya.
"I was just missing my mother,” Lazio murmured.
"Same!" Christina pouted, pulling a picture out of her pocket and staring at it with a smile on her lips.
"Is that your-?" Lazio tried asking, and Christina nodded, turning the picture toward him.
"That is my mother when she was my age,” she laughed a little, smiling at the picture. It wasn't like shehadn't seen her mother before. She just wanted him to see the picture and recognize Emelia.
Lazio kept staring at the picture as goosebumps crept over his skin.
"That is the nanny who kept me safe from Enya's mother!" He didn't want to speak so much, but thatescaped his lips in haste. He covered his mouth, but it was too late.
Christina had found out that Lazio now knew it was Enya's mother who had cursed him, and shewouldn't let go of that opportunity to turn him against her.
“What? Your mother too?” Christina gasped, covering her mouth in shock.
"What do you mean by that?" Lazio questioned, watching her face in bafflement.novelbin
"My mother was one of her victims. But I didn't want to tell anyone as they would judge me and call memean for bringing it up,"
Christina pouted, hugging herself and making Lazio feel bad for her.
“No! You will not be blamed for talking about it. Your mother was a good person, and knowing howHazel not only hurt me but hurt that blessed soul makes my heart bleed for your mother." Lazioinstantly gave Christina a hug to comfort her.
"That's why I want to sacrifice for Enya whenever I get the chance. I don't want anybody to think I amnot helping her because I am jealous of her. However, I am a bit sad because— I remember my motherhad told someone that the witch who had cursed you all is the same witch who created a fake bondbetween Enya and her mates.” It was then that she shook the world from under Lazio’s feet.
She stayed there for a few minutes, talking about how Hazel wanted to imprison the alphas even aftershe died, and it only riled up Lazio more.
After they heard Enya had come out of the house, they ran to meet her.
Enya looked petrified, so they were trying to comfort her.
"Let's go back to the academy. It seems like this place gave us the answers we needed,” Laziosuggested, but Christina didn't plan to leave so soon.
"I will go grab our bags,” Christina said and ran into the house. She didn't care about the bags; shewanted to get what was inside the red room. Instantly rushing inside, she grabbed the spell books andwhatever else she could find that would later help Enya.
However, she couldn't find certain files that she had heard from her mother in regard to Thiago'sparents’ murder. But since she couldn't find them, she reckoned there were no files.
