Enigma

Chapter 17- Zeno

That woman is scary as hell. I didn’t know that stupid bitch would go ratting about us to her parents.

Now I am not even aloud to be near her. How am I supposed to get this empty feeling to go away? I

don’t think they will allow me in their house ever again.

Uhh! I am so screwed.

The only way to get near that idiot is the pack gatherings which isn’t much. I would have to find another

way to get near her. Maybe I can go to her school once in a while. They can’t stop me there from

approaching her.

The door of the car slammed shut pulling me out of my dilemma. I looked on the back seat to find a

very upset Francis and no Vivian.

“What happened to you? Where is Vivian?” I asked him.

He didn’t answer for a while. Fabian looked at me in question and I shrugged not knowing what the

problem was.

“It’s all because of you.” Francis said looking at me with loathing and anger clearly visible on his face.

“Dude what are you even talking about? Are you in shock or what?” I joked.

“YOU. YOU ARE THE REASON WE ARE IN THIS SITUATION. THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU. I

NEVER WANTED TO HARRASS ARIA NOR DID FABIAN. YOU PULLED US INTO THIS. YOU

FUCKING ASSHOLE. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAD SOME SORT OF TWISTED INFATUATION WITH

ARIA, YOU DRAGGED US INTO BULLYING HER.”

I looked at him shocked as he shouted in my face. How did he know about the weird pull I had towards

Arabella? He started laughing menacingly as I looked at him dumbfounded. I looked at Fabian for help

but he looked away from me.

“What? You thought we didn’t know about your messed up feelings for her. YOU BIPOLAR PRICK.

YOU MADE THAT GIRL SUFFER WHEN SHE WAS ALREADY IN SO MUCH PAIN JUST BECAUSE

YOU THOUGHT SHE HAD SOME SORT OF CONTROL OVER YOU. YOU SELFISH BASTARD.”

“How… how do you know that?” I asked him.

This day is getting better and better every passing second. Note the sarcasm.

“Your sixteenth birthday. You were drunk your ass off.” Fabian said looking at me with the same look as

Francis. “You talked about all the messed up shit you thought about Aria. We were disgusted of you

and wanted to stop everything but you said something about feeling empty when you couldn’t be near

her for too long or some shit along the lines and we did saw it happen with our very own eyes over

summer. You looked gaunt and had a very dark aura around you whenever you would go too long

without being near her. So we went on with it like we didn’t know the truth. We thought you will grow out Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

of it but that never happened and then the bonfire incident happened. We carried on with your activities

just to keep an eye on you so you won’t go too far again. By that time, we knew something is really

wrong with you. So we tagged along to keep Aria safe.”

I just looked at the two people sitting in my car in front of me in shock. The two people I considered my

best friends think that I am messed up and hitched in the head. To top it all, they are siding with that

slut.

“Get out.” I told them with a blank face.

“No.” Francis scoffed.

“I SAID GET OUT OF MY DAMN CAR.”

“Not happening.” Fabian said looking at me with a serious face.

“You need help and we are not going to leave your side till you at least get the help you need. You can

kick us out of your life after that.” Francis said calmly.

At that moment, I wanted to punch them and hug them at the same time. They just want well for me.

But the problem is, I don’t need any sort of help. It’s that Arabella girl that has problems. She might be

a witch for all we know or maybe I am just over reacting.

“Let’s get out of here before they think of kicking us out themselves.” Francis said looking sad.

They had to become the bad guys too just because I was having issues and dragged them with me. I

wish I hadn’t done that and just took more civil way to approach Aria. It wouldn’t have been this bad

and they wouldn’t have suffered because I couldn’t figure out my own fucking thoughts.

“Where is Vivi?” Fabian asked as I was about to start the car.

“She doesn’t want anything to do with us. She said that she will tell everyone of what we did to Aria.

Well Zeno did make it seem like Aria didn’t want anything to do with us and made her a sort of a pariah

in school and the pack. It’s understandable.” Francis said looking at us with a sad face.

I never thought that I had done so much damage in a fit of my rage. Why? Just because I couldn’t

figure out what the fuck I was feeling.

“She said we aren’t good enough to lead a pack.”

That did break my heart. He looked so devastated. They don’t deserve to be treated like this. They did

nothing wrong. Whatever they did was for my sake. Hearing the people you are supposed to lead in the

future say that you aren’t worthy enough to lead is really heart breaking. We are wolves. Our pack is

everything to us. The leaders live only to lead and protect the pack but here we are, being rejected by

our pack before we even took our positions. This is shattering.

For the first time in my life I felt like crying.

What have I done?
