Mated to Two Bad Boy Alphas (Lia zane Blake) novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261 – Dealt With

–LIA’S POV–

The classroom froze around me, everyone stopping in their tracks, halting whatever they were doing.

I blinked, looking around at their terrified faces.

Rhonda and her friends, the teacher, even Christy and the

Hounds.

My gaze moved to Zane, and his expression broke something inside me.

His eyes were wide, his mouth open mid–shout, arms extended towards me.

My eyes were gleaming purple, claws were out, and skin glowed an odd silver.

For a moment, the world came crashing down around me.

What was I supposed to do?

How long would they stay frozen?

I couldn’t handle this alone.

I needed help.

I took a deep breath, turning fully to Zane. “Zane,” I choked, “move.”

But he didn’t oblige.

*****

He didn’t even blink.

He was a statue.

“Zane,” I said again, my tone growing more desperate. I stepped closer to him, my heart and head pounding in sync. “Move.

Unfreeze.”

Nothing.

I swallowed down the bile that rose up my throat.

My hands trembled as I touched his, thinking about shaking

him.

But what if I hurt him? What if he was actually frozen and anything I tried to do ended up breaking something?

How did this happen?

A sob left my lips, and I stepped back, away from him.

I looked around the classroom.

All my friends, my classmates, turned into statues with a single command.

This was a curse.

Being her daughter was a curse.

I’d thought it was a gift.

A

But no.

This would be my undoing.

I took a gulp of air, trying to think. To get my mind to work.

All my closest confidants were in this room.

Except one person.

Sapphire.

Maybe… maybe she could help.

I quickly grabbed my phone from my bag and dialled her, my heart in my throat.

The line rang once. Twice. Three times.

And then it went silent.

With shaking fingers, I tried again.

But this time, it didn’t even ring.

“Please,” I begged, dialling again.

Still nothing.

I glanced up, and my eyes fell on a phone pointed at me.

My stomach twisted harder, as I wondered if any of them were live–streaming.

It was over.

Everything was destroyed.

I’d been exposed to the entire world for what I was—a monster.

“Lia?”

My head snapped to the door, and a cry of relief left my lips when I saw who it was.

“Selene,” I whispered, running towards her with no hesitation.

She took me into her embrace, rubbing my back, shushing me softly. “It’s okay, honey. It’s alright. Relax.”

“My life is over,” I sobbed into her shoulder. “It’s over.”

“No, no it’s not,” she replied, pulling away and cupping my cheeks. “You think I’m gonna let that happen? No, sweetheart.” She wiped away my tears, and somehow, her touch had me relaxing. My claws went back in, the heat in my eyes disappeared and my skin returned to normal.

“Help me,” I whispered, sniffing.

“Of course,” she replied. “Take a deep breath.”

I obliged, gasping for air.

“Slowly, slowly,” she said, rubbing my arms. “My beautiful daughter.”

I felt my heart rate slow down a little, and I stared at her, at the concern in her gaze as she guided me.

“Okay. Good girl. Better,” she nodded. “Now, get back and let me handle this.”

Something inside me broke as I quickly stepped behind her, watching her as she stepped forward and raised her hands.

The room glimmered a bright silver, and Selene’s feet rose from the ground.

My throat burned with sobs as she waved a hand, and everyone in the room moved at once, calmly returning to their seats and

grabbing their pens and papers. The ones who had been recording did something on their phones, probably deleting the videos they had captured, and placed their phones back in their bags. Everyone—the teacher, Zane and the Hounds included—went back to the moment before I lost my shit.

The room froze again once everyone was seated, after even the ones who had left the room had returned.

Selene gently lowered to the floor and turned to me, pushing my hair away from my face.

“There. No one will remember any of it, alright? Don’t worry. I got you, Lia.”

I sniffed, another cry tearing from my lungs as I threw my arms around her, pulling her into a hug.

“Thank you,” I whispered. “Mother, thank you.”

She stiffened for a second, probably out of surprise, then melted into my arms, hugging me back.

“I’m here, baby. I’m sorry for all the years I wasn’t. You were right. I should have visited you before. But I’m here now. Everything will be fine.”

I pulled away from her, clasping her hands in mine. “It’s okay,” I said. “I don’t care. Thank you for coming to me.”

She kissed my forehead, smiling widely. “Now go quickly. Finish your exam. Then I’ll unfreeze the time and no one will know

what happened. Don’t tell anyone, alright? Not even Zane.”

I blinked, something inside me unsettling.

“Why?” I asked. “He—he should know you helped.”

She smiled, shaking her head. “He doesn’t need to know. Trust me. Okay?”

I swallowed, then nodded.

She was probably right.

He would worry for no reason.

We just bonded.

This situation was dealt with.

“Okay,” I whispered, turning away from her and taking my seat. “Thank you, Mother.”
