Rejected Their Broken Luna Chapter 206: Chap-206*One Cunning Mate*

Cynthia Dion:

"Why," she uncovered her face from her hands and locked eyes with me, "Cynthia! Why did you put me through all this? Why did you hypnotize him and make him do all this? Didn’t you like Atticus? And if you did want him, then why did you cheat on him after he married you? I don’t understand, I don’t get it. I don’t know what's the matter with you, but I’m suffering because of your games," she was wailing, and her gaze was breaking my heart.

"How did you turn out so different from your mother? She was such a nice person; she was such a nice teacher," as she kept murmuring, my body shuddered. Why was she bringing up my mother all of a sudden? How on earth did she know so much about her?

"You knew my mother?" I asked because I have never been told much about her. Dad never mentioned her. He would only recall her as an excuse whenever he wanted to beat us up.

"I knew her. She wasn’t only my teacher but my mentor as well," she finished, and my frown grew bigger. I don’t really remember her going to school, or maybe I was too little when she did.

"I know you hate me because you think I have done everything wrong to you, but trust me, I didn’t," I said that, but my voice cracked at the end because technically my wolf did do it. The confusing part was that Mr. Holt has used hypnosis very cleverly. He used it to make me look like I was controlling him. He made me do things, which in turn made me look like a controller.

"Your lies cannot convince me," she got up from the bed and sniffed the tears into disappearance. "I’ll not let you harm my child; it’s a mother’s challenge to you. I’ll not only save my baby but my mate too," watching her look so determined to save Mr. Holt made me turn my face away from her. She was still trying to make eye contact when Atticus walked into the room after he had spoken to Mr. Holt.

"What did he say? Please tell me you have convinced him to come back?" She started requesting him in tears again. I hated the fact that Mr. Holt was using her love for him like that.

"I spoke to him," Atticus was stealing glances from us. He rubbed his face in his hands and sighed. "Tell me, what did he say?" she asked again, and at this point, even I was beginning to feel weird. He must have said something insane for Atticus to be this stressed out.

"He didn’t say anything for now. I will talk to him again and let you know," as Atticus tried to dodge the question, she shook her head and reached for him to look him in the eye and ask him once again.

"Atticus! Tell me, what did he say?" She pressured Atticus into not stepping back from telling her the truth. "Maleeka! He wants us to apologize to him and never talk about the whole past thing again," once he finally told us what Zeon had told him, I frowned because I knew what it was all about. He had started to panic once he found out we were investigating the whole thing again.

"So do it. We all should apologize to him because accusing a victim is cruel," Maleeka made no sense. She wanted us to apologize to him. "But finding out the truth is important for you so that you can see who truly is the victim," I couldn’t hold back anymore and stated out of frustration. She stopped sobbing and looked my way with a quizzical stare.

"I know who the true victim is. If anything, I am the one who faced the worst, and I am saying that I don’t want any investigation. I just want my mate back," she said while grunting and looking me directly in the eye. "Maleeka! It is not possible. We cannot do this. The truth is something else, and there are more victims in this case," Thankfully, Atticus backed me and sided with me, but it didn’t go well with Maleeka because she stepped back and scoffed loudly.

"Of course you will say that because you have been trying your best to convince yourself that your mate is innocent, too. But the truth is that me and my mate are the victims." She didn’t cry this time. She truly believed Mr. Holt was innocent. Sometimes I wondered if she was also under his hypnosis.

"Then let me investigate and find out," Atticus said in his response. "Fine! If you are not going to bring him back then---," she looked around to search for something, "then I will end my life," with that being said, she rushed towards the closet because she knew Atticus must have a weapon in there.

Our hearts sank in our chests when we realized what she was about to do. "Maleeka!" Atticus sprinted her way and grabbed her hands to pull her away from the closet while I rushed in the direction of the closet to shut it. "What are you doing?" he shouted at her, but that anger was channeled with his care and concern for her.

"Let me end my life," Maleeka started protesting to get out of Atticus’s grip. "Are you kidding me?" Atticus turned her around and glared at her, and that’s when anger took over him. He raised his hand at her, but before it could land on her, I yelled. "Atticus!”

He paused while Maleeka stopped fighting. The siblings stared at each other, and then Atticus grabbed her to hug her. She was crying on his chest, and I bet I saw tears in his eyes as well. "Please bring him back; I cannot live without him," she was sobbing like crazy. I was stunned to see her cry over a man like him. Even if she believed he was innocent and hypnotized, it still didn’t explain many other things. She didn’t even want any investigation done, as she was afraid to find out anything crazy. She wanted to believe him, no matter what.
