Chapter 272

272 Maybe I Can Treat You Better Maynard’s POV:

Few Hours Ago:

After we came back from the cabin, Zander left for a stroll, and worries engulfed Christina. I walked her to the rooftop to get some fresh air, but it didn‘t do much because soon her brother rang her phone. I knew he would worry her about something again.

“You guys talk while I go to the restroom,” | excused myself, not wanting to stand there and watch her fret over her brother. If only she‘d let me help her, I‘d stay around. Otherwise, I feel like a third wheeling.

I walked downstairs and to the room when I realized Thiago hadn‘t come out of the bathroom this whole time.

“Boy! Come out!” I yelled, picking up a shirt to change into after taking a shower.

“I swear you are not even doing anything in there,” I added after he didn‘t respond to me. “Ugh! “He just goes into the bathroom and then vanishes,” I complained, reaching for the door and banging it hard.

“Thiago!” I yelled his name, waiting for him to at least tell me how much more time I had.

“Thiago! Bloody hell, come out!” I yelled and banged harder this time. However, I heard something inside this time.

“URGHHH!” There was a little growl, almost as if somebody was preventing the transition.

“Thiago! Hey! Dude, are you okay in there?” Panic struck me when my wolf felt the pain of another alpha.

“Thiago! Let me come in. I know something is wrong. I might be able to help you.” Now that Enya was no longer my subject of interest, I didn‘t feel any animosity toward Thiago. Back then, I got super jealous of him, but things have changed now.

I no longer felt any anger toward Thiago or Lazlo. Suddenly, the door opened just a little bit, and I knew Thiago needed my help. It was unlike him to need help, so it was serious.

I squeezed inside and a gasp heaved across my lips instantly.

“Dude! What the fuck!” | gasped, looking around for a towel to help him with the bleeding. Thiago was all messed up. He had cut himself and was bleeding crazy.

“I needed to stop h—––im from taking over,” he muttered in pain, leaning back against the wall. He hurt himself so that he could prevent his Lycan from taking over.

“Thiago! Why is this happening?” I asked him, covering his wounds and watching his veins pop out as if the Lycan was still trying to come out.

“It is complicated. I had to let hi—–m take over.” He was in excruciating pain. I felt bad for him. He didn‘t deserve it, nobody does.

“We need to get you help. You are bleeding excessively and now you are not letting him take over, so you are not healing,” I told Thiago as I tried to walk him out of the bathroom. He suddenly flipped and pushed me back, breaking the sink.

“I am so sorry! It was–nt me,” He suddenly apologized and crouched down.

“Hey, it is okay. We sho–” I paused when I heard somebody entering the room. We both stared at each other and then zipped our lips tightly to avoid getting heard. But Thiago kept grunting and mumbling.

Enya started getting suspicious because she was calling to see who was inside.

“We need to leave through the window,” I told Thiago, who faintly nodded. He didn‘t want anybody to find out yet, so I respected his decision.

It took me some minutes to get him out of the window, but the moment we were in the wild, he sprinted into the woods.

“Shit!” I cursed, running after him. I wouldn‘t want him out there on his own. Just a few steps into the woods, I found Thiago crouched down and throwing up.

“Are you okay?” I stopped near him and watched him suffer. It was so painful to see him like this. “Why did you let him take over?” I asked.

“It was the only option to save Enya.” He answered and raised his face to look me in the eye. I was shocked.

“You surrendered for her?” I mean, I wanted to know how much someone can love someone. I don‘t ever remember feeling that way about anyone. Huh! No wonder I didn’t deserve Enya.

“We should tell Enya,” I said simply, and he shook his head vigorously.

“No! She is already having trouble of her own. I don‘t want her to stress out about me. She has been through enough, Maynard. She shouldn‘t be dealing with my mess, either. “The more he showed his affection and care for her, the more incompetent |

felt.

He knew how to keep a gem like her, whereas Lazlo and I just ruined everything.

“Okay, I will help you then. Is there a way to control the Lycan? I mean, we get dizzy when we come into contact with Wolfbane. How does wolfbane work for you?” I asked him, hearing my phone beep in my pocket.

Christina kept blowing up my phone, but I didn‘t answer her calls. Right now, I needed to be with Thiago and pay full attention to him.

“I just don‘t know. It is confusing. Until I let him take full control, I was not a Lycan. I don‘t know how to explain this, but you can inject wolfbane into me and silver directly into my bloodstream to weaken him.

There is no other alternative.” While Thiago was explaining everything to me while panting and grunting.

“So you are not a Lycan yet?” I asked in confusion.

“I am cursed to be one. My wolf is a regular powerful Alpha, but the curse has gotten to him with time. I am supposed to become a full Lycan anytime soon, and before that, we must get full information on the Lycans. I am now beginning to feel his heat in me and I am scared for everyone around me, especially Enya.” Thiago had tears in his eyes when talking about her.

“I have never loved anyone more than her. If anything happens to me, promise me you will take care of her.” It scared me when Thiago held my hand and begged me to take care of her.

“I will.” | nodded.

“No! You promise me you will mark her and keep her close and safe,” His demand left me speechless.

That‘s when I saw Enya ringing my phone.

“It is her, isn‘t it? She must be worried about me. Don‘t make her wait, just tell her we are in a bar.” It surprised me how he didn‘t want her to worry for a second, and here I ignored Christina‘s calls so easily.
