Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

222–On A Break!*

We ran to the woods in search of the two like crazy. It was a mess caused by Christina, and she was th

e one sobbing nonstop. If she hadn‘t had so many issues with me, this wouldn‘t have happened. She o

nly told Thiago those things to make me look evil and that I needed to jeopardize her brother‘s

life.

We were looking around in the dark to spot any one of them. But it seems impossible now. There was o

nly one option left, so I took the chance.

“Thiago! Show

me where you are.” I closed my eyes and raised my hands to spot him. The trees began to bend in one

direction. Everybody gasped as they started following the route with me.

“What the fuck!” Oswin was grunting in confusion, but didn‘t say a lot. After some time, I stopped using

magic because I had already heard them grunt and howl at each other. The panting and growling made

my heart sink in my chest.

We reached the river and found them wounded. Thiago was sitting on top of Zander after he caught hi

m and was punching him repeatedly.

“Hey! Let go of my brother,” Christina yelled, rushing to save her brother. Thiago turned to her, and we

all yelped in shock. His eyes were burning red and his frown was prominent. It was almost like his Lyca

n was taking over him.

“Let him go.” Christina didn’t care about the threat

and reached for him to grab his arm and pull him away. He did leave his brother, but only to get

up on his feet and grasp Christina by her hair.

“NO!” Maynard shouted, sprinting to free Christina. Thiago smacked her face against the tree‘s trunk, a

nd blood splattered everywhere.

“Shit!” Lazlo‘s terrified tone shook me awake.

Maynard approached Thiago but got swept to the side when Thiago hit him. He was out of control now.

I knew I had to do something before it ended up with somebody dying. Thiago will never forgive himself

if he accidentally kills someone. I walked in

his direction and grabbed his arm when he was about to hit Christian again. She had passed

out at this point.

“Thiago!” As soon as I said his name, he stopped. Leaving

go of her, he stepped back from her and examined the mess he had created.

“Christina, please wake up.” Maynard rushed to hold her body in his hands. She wasn‘t dead, just pass

ed out from the impact of the hit.

“What did you do?” Zander yelled after he regained consciousness. He, too, ran

to snatch Christian out of Maynard‘s arms and pull her to the side. I saw her waking up, but I was more

attentive to

Thiago now.

“1” he said, lowering his face to look at his hands. They were bruised and covered in Zander‘s blood.

“It is fine. You were triggered,” I mumbled to comfort him.

“No! I am the monster like you two thought of me,” he yelled in desperation. I feared we had scarred

him.

“But you are not,” Lazlo yelled back at

him, “We knew it wasn‘t your Lycan controlling you. We thought you we— ” It was only then

that Lazlo realized how wrong it sounded.

“Wait! So

you didn‘t even think my Lycan was making me do things? You just thought I was evil?” It turned dirty w

hen Thiago calmed down all of a sudden.

“Let‘s leave this topic for now. I am sorry for what happened and what we did. I am

sorry! But please, you need to calm down.” I was shaking and frightened of getting near

him. I would be so heartbroken if he pushed me away.

“I cannot believe this,” Thiago said, laughing. He was hysterical now.

“You hurt my sister because she told you the truth?” Zander, who I thought would

shut up, for now, got on his feet after his sister woke up to yell at Thiago.

His face was badly messed up, yet he wasn‘t sitting in the corner, letting us deal with this mess.

“You kissed me out of the blue. I never consented to it. I told him

that too.” At the moment, I didn‘t want another misconception. He brought up that kiss again, and I shut

him down.

“Because you fucking accepted me. We are accepted mates. We are bound to feel physically attracted

to each other,” Zander yelled at the top of his lungs, and Thiago turned to look at me.

Everybody went silent after that.

“I did it because he was sick.” To escape the quizzical stares of Thiago, I admitted the truth.

“You accepted him?” Thiago asked, his hand stretched out to point at Zander, who was glaring at us.

“It was only to save his life,” I replied.

“Save his life?” Thiago questioned, shaking his head at me in disapproval, “I need to leave and be alon

e.” He then looked me straight in the eyes and expressed his wish to be left alone.

“Thiago!” I ran after him, “Please give me a

chance to explain myself,” I was talking while trying to catch up with him.

“There is nothing left to explain. You did everything you wanted to do while calling me a monster.” He st

opped after we were a little farther away from the others to raise his voice.

There were tears in his eyes that he kept swallowing while running his hands through his hair.

“But I

have set the rules for him. Nothing will happen between us,” I said, hoping anything I said would calm h

im down.

“And he will obey them? You accepting him gives him a chance to ask for anything from you in the acad

emy. He can tell Mr. Tripper to make you go out with him. Dammit, the ruies didn‘t stop him from

kissing you.” He was shouting and aggressively panting. I understood his point. He was not wrong, but

the damage had been done now.

“I told you. Enya. I told you to stay

away from him because I didn‘t feel right about him. Why didn‘t vou listen to me? Why didn‘t

you trust my instincts?” He suddenly calmed down and asked me in a defeated tone.

“Enva! I don‘t know what to say anymore.” He took a step back from me while closing his eves.

“Just give me another chance,” I requested. “Some days, we will forget about this and move past all the

differences.” I tried to give him hope because his reaction was scaring me.

“Ah! I think we should take a break from each other,” Those

words escaping his lips shook the world from under my feet.

A/N:

What do you feel about what Thiago said? Do you think Enya asking

for a second chance is a similar situation as Thiago asking for a second chance in the past?

Do let me know in the comment section.
