Enigma novel Chapter 15

Zeno nodded. He tried to put up a brave front but I could see the fear in his eyes. The other three baboons looked like they would piss their pants any second. Their faces were pale as a ghost.

“Love, how about you go take a bath? As much as I want to beat the kid, I don’t think Leo will appreciate his son being traumatized. Your aura is slipping out quite a lot.” Steven said pulling me back from Zeno. “You. Leave.” He said to the four hairless cats.

Zeno, Francis and Fabian made a dash for it but Vivian didn’t move from her place. She looked scared as hell but she still didn’t move.

Is she frozen by shock?

“Vivi come on.” Francis said from the door.

“No.” She said with a trembling voice.

“What?” Francis asked confused.

“I said no.” She replied this time firmly. “I am not going anywhere with you.”

“But why? Do you want to die or what?” Francis asked with wide confused eyes.

He was getting jittery as I openly glared at him. I am really intrigued though as to why Vivian doesn’t want to go with them.

“All this time you told me that Aria is a stuck up bitch.” I clenched my fist hearing that. “And what do I find out? The stuck up bitch is none other than you three. You made it impossible for her to have friends. You made it seem like she didn’t want to be friends with anyone but guess what? We all misunderstood her. Why? All because of you three. From this moment onwards I don’t want anything to do with you three and I will make sure the others know what you did to her even if she isn’t ready to tell that to anyone to save your unworthy asses. Everyone in the pack is going to know how undeserving you are to lead a pack. No wonder you haven’t shifted yet.”

Francis’s expressions morphed into sadness. He looked utterly devastated. He turned around with slumped shoulders and left.

Wow! This is not something I thought these boys would be capable of. But the question is, why? Why would they go to such lengths to just isolate and bully a girl? It can’t just be because she is human. Well they think she is human but still that can’t be the case. Their mothers are humans as well. Then why? There seems to be something going on here that I can’t interpret… yet. I will find out eventually and if it turns out that they are doing this just for fun, I will beat the crap out of them for sure. No matter whose sons they are, they will get it really bad.

“I am sorry aunt Amara. I didn’t know they were doing such a thing. I swear I didn’t take part in it. They made sure to keep me away from her and others too. They made it seem like Aria was the one that doesn’t want to be with us. We never had anything against her. I am really sorry.” Vivian was sobbing her eyes out at this point.

I pulled her in a hug.

“It’s okay sweetie. Don’t cry. Now that you know everything, please don’t do what those scabbed weasels did or I will just have to punish you.” I said giving her a wide grin.

She flinched.

“Love stop scaring the poor girl. She didn’t do anything to our baby anyways.” Steven said shaking his head. “Don’t be scared of her Vivi. Amara is just in a sort of… a mood. Would you like to stay for dinner?”

“No thanks Uncle Steven. I think I will just go home and lie down a little. I feel a little faint.” Vivian mumbled.

She did look pale. Did she thought I would poison her food? Well I would have before but not now when I know the truth. Did I overdo it though? Well it’s her loss. I make delicious food.

“How are you going home?” Ben asked from the other side of the room.

I had totally forgotten about them being here. Lucas, Archer and Hudson looked a little awkward. Wonder why they are feeling like that.

“I will just call my dad.”

“I will drop you off. No need to call your dad.” Steven being his over loving self, told her.

She gave me one look and nodded. Steven picked up his car keys and set off with Vivian in tow.

“Let’s get you to your rooms to freshen up.” I told Lucas, Archer and Hudson.

“Mom we only have two guest rooms.” Elliot said.

Opps! I totally forgot about that.

“We can stay in one room mam. It won’t be a problem.” Lucas said looking shy.

Aww he is adorable.

Did he just call me mam? I will address that part later.

“That won’t be necessary. Ethan and I can share a room. We are in each other’s room all the time anyways and our rooms are second largest after Mom and Dad’s. You can have one of our rooms. Just give us half an hour to move the stuff.” Ben told them smiling.

“We can live in one room. Please don’t change anything for us.” Archer said looking flustered.
