Mated to Two Bad Boy Alphas (Lia zane Blake) novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262 – Mother Knows Best

–LIA’S POV–

Just like Selene had promised, the moment she left the room, everyone moved again.

My heart continued to knock against my ribs as I glanced around the room, searching for any odd behaviour.

“Ms. Snow!” the teacher snapped, making me jump in my seat. “Eyes on your own paper.”

I did as he said and released a trembling breath, ignoring Zane’s

gaze on me,

He knew something was wrong. Something was up.

But he couldn’t ask right now.

So I went back to my exam with shaking hands, trying to complete as much as I could in the last few minutes.

The bell rang a few minutes later, and we were asked to put our pens down.

Mine clattered against the desk, and I clasped my hands together to prevent them from shaking so much.

“Lia,” Zane whispered, leaning towards me. “What’s wrong?”

I closed my eyes shut. “Shh. Stop talking to me. We still have our papers.”

Thankfully, he listened.

The exam papers were collected, and I immediately stood up, hurrying out of the class and rushing to the ladies‘ washroom. I closed the door and leaned against the sink, glad that there was a place Zane couldn’t follow me inside.

I took a deep breath to calm my heart.

Nothing happened.

Selene handled it.

She saved my world from falling apart.

Just like a mother was supposed to.

“Lia?” Zane strode inside the washroom, closing the door and locking it.

My eyes widened and I backed away from him, gaping. “You’re not supposed to be in here, Zane.”

“Are you crazy?” he asked, walking towards me.

I backed away from him, lowering my gaze, afraid that he’d read

my eyes.

“What’s going on? Why are you running away from me?” he asked.

My back hit the wall, forcing a gasp from my lips.

Zane closed the space between us, gently taking my arms. “Lia, look at me.

I squeezed my eyes shut. “I’m fine.”

“Clearly not. What happened?”

I shook my head. “Nothing.”

“Lia,” Zane insisted, taking my chin and tipping my face up. “I said, look at me.”

I swallowed hard, and then opened my eyes, meeting his dark

gaze.

“What’s going on?” he asked slowly, his tone low.

“It—it feels like you’re threatening me,” I whispered.

Zane narrowed his eyes, then leaned in and pressed his lips against mine.

Instantly, the bond stirred within me, and everything else felt

like a blur.

My heartbeat steadied, my nerves loosened, and the knots in my

stomach came undone.

I rested my hands on his shoulders, then threw my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

No matter the situation, no matter what happened, he was my

anchor.

He pulled a little too soon.

“You can’t distract me,” he stated, still holding onto my chin. “Tell me what happened.”

I stared at him, my eyes slightly glassy.

I felt like telling him.

The truth. All of it.

But Selene’s words kept replaying in my head.

She’d told me to keep it a secret.

And she was the Moon Goddess.

There had to be a reason why she’d ask me to do that.

I knew Zane didn’t trust her after he found out the truth.

And I didn’t either.

But she’d helped me. Pulled me out of an impossible situation just like a mother would.

I bit my lip.

“Lia, you’re scaring me now,” he whispered. “What is it?”

“You’ll think it’s stupid,” I muttered, my chest tight again.

“I don’t care. Just tell me.”

“I almost lost control, Zane. During the exam. My heart started racing and my head spun. I—I almost exposed us all.”

Zane frowned, leaning closer to me. “When? How did I not
