Free Evince Me by Lili Lam Page A

to run out of the room
and down the hall back to Tristan, but I chose to take the slow
approach as to not look like I was crazy.
     
    "Wait!" Marco shouted out, before jumping
up quickly from the bed. He closed the distance between us pulling
me into a tight embrace. "Thank you Princesa, I owe you my life." I
wanted to say 'don't mention
it' , but it didn't seem like the proper wording so I
decided to stay quiet and just hug him back.
     
    Of course, that was the exact moment the bedroom
door opened. Standing there glaring at the sight before them was
Tristan with Alonso, and Julio standing at his side. Can I ever
catch a break?

Chapter 9: Think Before Speaking
     
Tristan's POV
     
    Deciding to let Lise go check on Marco by
herself, I relaxed back onto the pillow with my arms folded under
my head. Taking in deep breaths I tried the best I could to calm my
raging hormones. I swear Alonso's lucky he's her brother, I
could've beat the life out of him for interrupting us.
     
    It's been four days since I've held her in my
arms and just when things were starting to feel normal between us
again, he goes and knocks on the door. After thinking about all of
today's events along with all the things I planned on doing with my
mate when she came back, I realized Lise has been gone for what
seemed like an eternity.
     
    An unsettling feeling began to develop in the
pit of my stomach. I could only explain it as being an
uncomfortable queasiness. Getting up from the bed, I pulled a white
tee over my head and yanked on a pair of basketball shorts. Opening
the door to the bedroom I headed towards the guest room down the
hall.
     
    Standing a few feet outside Marco's room was
Alonso and Julio. They were discussing something calmly. What the
hell are these two doing outside the room? The entire point of me
allowing Lise to go see Marco was because I was under the
assumption that they'd be right there beside her.
     
    "What the hell?" I grunted through clenched
teeth, the anger from earlier's interruption creeping slowly to the
surface again. "Why aren't you in there with her?" I directed
towards Alonso with an angry glare. What type of brother is he?
Knowing perfectly well what Marco is capable of, yet he would still
leave his baby sister alone with him?
     
    Alonso shrugged his shoulders and threw his
hands up in front of him in surrender. "I...I figured she'd be
perfectly fine. We're only right outside the door." He mumbled as a
sudden look of guilt took over his expression. Guess now that he
thinks about it, not such a good idea now was it?
     
    Breathing in deeply through my nose, I
shouldered my way through the both of them reaching out for the
door. I honestly wasn't prepared for what I saw when I opened it,
the wind was knocked right out of my lungs. Marco and Lise stood at
the center of the room in a loving embrace...my heart cracked
against the cavity of my chest.
     
    It was bad enough my ego took a beating when my
mate threw herself on top of this prick to save his life. Now I let
her come here to check up on him and I catch them hugging each
other like this? What the hell else happened prior to my walking
in?
     
    I already had a sick feeling something happened
between the two of them during the four days she was held captive
that caused them to become so close, but I tried the best I could
to brush it off. Lise wouldn't do something like that...she loved
me.
    As I stormed towards them prepared to kill Marco
and just end this once an
    d for all, Lise pulled away from him in a panic
as she jumped in front of me. "No Tristan!" Lise's voice pleaded as
she latched desperately onto my arm sending me over the ultimate
edge.
     
    I think it was a mixture of lack of sleep, pent
up anger, and sexual frustration that caused me to snap. I
shouldn't have said the things I did, shouldn't have allowed them
to escape from my mouth...should have definitely thought before I
spoke, maybe then I wouldn't be in the situation I'm in now.
