Chapter 270

270 I Heard The Monster Again “I don‘t understand. What happened? How do you know my mother?” My mind couldn‘t process properly. The anger and hatred he displayed at the mention of my mother surprised me.

“I would never have even known had my mother and grandmother not written a diary together and kept it for me. After years of abandonment and being thrown from one shelter to another, I finally found my home, but there was nothing left there. Just a diary and my grandmother‘s bones. The way! knew it was my parents‘ house was through this birthmark.” He showed me a birthmark on his shoulder that looked like a bite from fangs.

“They had my pictures everywhere, pictures from when I was a kid, and after that, there was nothing.

And then I read that diary.” He stepped back from me. It was so weird how even standing near me was intolerable for him.

“What was in it?” I asked, tears rushing to the surface. From what I remember about my mom, she was a nice woman who loved helping everyone. She would risk her life to help others. So whatever he was saying didn‘t sound good to my ears.

“The diary has everything fucked up your mother did to my mother and my grandmother. She made my father never see us again. She kept him for herself when she knew there were people who were relying on him.” He was almost on the verge of crying at this moment. I was still not sure how much I could blame my mother for it.

“How do you know my mom made our dad not see you and your mother? Maybe it was dad‘s decision.”

I was still holding onto hope, but he shook his head and grunted.

“I cannot give you the diary. I will just send some things. Why don‘t you find out more about your parents? Why, unconsciously, have you been putting it off?“. He bobbed his head as if he was questioning me.

unc “I will, but I want to sit down and talk with you. We are half siblings.” A weak smile crept over my lips because I knew this would never happen. He would never forgive me for being who I am. It is so sad that he called me his sister when he didn‘t know me, but the moment the truth is out; he doesn‘t even want to pass a second glance at me.

“I have to go, I canno—t–I just canno—” Oswin shook his head to himself, holding back an urge to probably yell at me. And just like that, he walked away from me. I was left heartbroken and alone once again. The desperation to have a family had made me desperate. I really thought it would be that easy for a cursed she–wolf like me to find peace and family.

I rushed back into the room and sat down on the bed. I wanted to cry but couldn‘t. If anybody asks me why I am crying, what will I say to them? My brother told me my mother was not a nice person. And that my mother stole someone else‘s mate.

“URGHH!” I heard a little cry from the bathroom, and it stunned me. I frowned, but didn‘t reach for them. The bathroom is where people want privacy. I will just wait for them to come out.

“ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” The grunting turned into a painful cry for help. My body felt goosebumps when hearing it.

“This is not normal,” I said to myself, getting on my feet and standing on the other side of the door.

“Who is it?” I called for the person in distress.

“EHH!” A little crack of bones and a groan were all I could hear from the other side.

“Hey! Are you okay?” I looked around to spot a jacket or shoes to get an idea of who was possibly in there, grunting in pain. But then I met with silence.

There was no movement in there afterwards. I stayed there, staring at the door, but there seemed to be no one in there anymore.

“That‘s so weird,” I whispered to myself in confusion.

The door slammed open behind me, and the person walking inside grabbed my arm to turn me around by force.

“Hey!” I complained, watching Christina glare at me. “You kissed Maynard?” she yelled in my face and pushed me. I would have hit my head had I not used my magic to stand my ground.

“If you put your hands on me again, I‘ll rip them off your body,” || grumbled in Nia‘s deep voice.I bet my eyes changed color to show anger.

“Bold of you to warn me when you have been putting your mouth on my man,” she claimed and grunted, making me gasp, “Zander heard you guys talking in the cabin,” she then told me who told her about that.

“But he was right there with you. How did he hear and not you?” I was just picking up the wrong details.

Right now, the question was regarding my morals, and I was trying to be a detective.

“Because I was in the bathroom. Now tell me, is this all you know? Stealing mates?” She yelled with her entire strength, lifting her body on her tiptoes.

“I —–it was nothing. Go ask Maynard, it was just a goodbye.” | had been the only one giving an explanation as if Maynard wasn‘t even the one who tried to kiss me. I was still protecting his ass and taking hits.

“Of course, I will.” She bobbed her head, but instead of walking out of the room, she walked past me to knock on the bathroom door.

“Maynard! Open up,” as she called for him. I felt like my body shuddered.

“Maynard is in the bathroom?” I asked, terror striking through my body “We were on the rooftop when Zander called me. Maynard excused himself to attend the bathroom.”

She replied while still knocking on the door.

“Maynard! Come out!” she called.

I heard something from inside. I know at least this much: whoever was in there wasn‘t a regular wolf.

“Why is he not responding?” She turned to me as if I would know the answer to her query.

“Enya! Why do you look so petrified? Tell me what is going on?”

She was no longer trying to get at my throat.

“I heard— heard him growl in pain, not just any growl. It was monstrous!” I said, and a gulp ran down her throat.

“We need to break down the door,” I suggested, but she shook her head at me violently.

“No! I think we–should wait.” She was shaking when she asked me to not break down the door.

“Are you kidding me? This is not the right time to be afraid of what is inside. If something happened to Maynard, we needed to hurry up.” The moment she realized Maynard could be in danger, she stepped away from me. I raised my hands, and instead of breaking them down, I broke the lock. As soon as Christina heard the click, she crashed the door open and sprinted inside, only to let out a yelp of horror.
