Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

157-Not A Psycho Mate, Please!

Maynard left to arrange a gift for his father while Lazlo and I stayed behind in the cabin. Thiago came

late so the meeting was already over.

I was shocked to see Thiago when he entered the cabin; breathless and panicking.

“Hey!” I rushed to stand beside him. Me leading Thiago had slowed down Lazlo. I don’t know why he

was acting that way, but I could tell he didn’t like me for Thiago.

“Are you okay?” I helped him sit down and rub his back.

1 — was

trying to find a way to the cabin. But I keep forg—etting,” Thiago had his eyes on the floor as he

seemed lost.

“It’s okay. The woods play tricks at times,” I was trying to put him at ease. But the more I was trying, the

more confused he was coming across

“I even forg—ot why I was looking for a cabin?” Thiago uttered and when raised his face, I found tears

in his eyes.

*Thiago! It is okay.” Lazlo joined us when hearing Thiago in distress.

“It is not. What if I truly am the monster they are talking about? What if I am the one who killed Gina

and marked so many others by force?” that question has been embedded in his mind now.

“That is not true. Don’t tell others to tell you anything, okay?” 1 cupped his face in my hands and made

him look in my eyes, “I don’t care what they say. I know in my heart that my Thiago is not a monster,” i

don’t even know when I began to use my energy until I found him melting a little.

He seemed much at ease now.

“I will find more information on your Lycan and help you with it,” I promised him. And when I

straightened my back, I saw Lazlo watching us in silence.

“I remember Christina goes home every Saturday. Tomorrow is Saturday, I will follow her and see

where else she goes. The library must be on the same route. And if not, I will be fucking using my

magic to find that library by mixing her scent in the air,” I was determinedly talking but the look Lazlo

was giving me was confusing me.

“I would love to be on board with you but are you forgetting something?” he asked and I couldn’t help

but knit my eyebrows together.

“You have promised Maynard to attend his dad’s birthday tomorrow,” Lazlo uttered, his eyes staring at

my face.

“Oh! I will be free by then,” I assured him but he only sighed.

“You should go and attend the birthday with him while I will find the information,” he offered but only

pissed me off. Why was he so hell-on bent on making me spend time with Maynard?

“Lazio! Thiago is my mate; I need to be here for him. I told you I will find some time and work things

around.” I sounded harsh but it was needed.

“It’s okay. If you have a commitment, we can wait,” Thiago suggested but I shook my head.

I didn’t want to delay. Thiago was beginning to doubt himself and I was not at all comfortable with it.

“I said I will be able to do it. If not, I’ll inform Maynard in advance,” as soon as I stated the possibility of

me being unable to attend him, Lazlo narrowed his eyes at me.

I wouldn’t let him control my life. I know what I was doing. I was not prioritizing what truly matters to me.

I tried to be a good girl like they wanted me to be and it didn’t bring me peace.

We then made our way back to the academy once Thiago was feeling much better.

It was awkward being in a room full of mates and those siblings now that we were not allowed to go

anywhere else.

Just when Zander left for the bathroom, Christina adjusted her body in the chair near Thiago and

craved for his attention.

I shot my head up and watched her attempting to take her seriously.

“Can you help me with this?” she brought her phone out to him and asked him for help.

Thiago raised his face from his phone and stared at her blankly, “What?” he inquired.

I noticed Lazlo and Maynard’s checking me out and then looking at Thiago and Christina

“My phone is not working. It’s stuck, can you help me?” she then forced the phone into his phone,

making him pull away from her a little.

“I am not receiving any calls,” she proceeded to say.

“Maybe nobody is calling you,” Thiago steadily pulled away and commented.

157-Not A Psycho Mate, Please!

“Maybe you can try calling me just to see if my phone is working fine?” she was cunning enough to

suggest something so clever.

Thiago smiled himself because he knew what she was trying to do. I had my eyes fixated on them

when my phone beeped.

Thiago: Don’t worry! I’ll never do that to you.

Reading his message comforted me for some reasons. I smiled and raised my face. I watched

Christina look all sad and Thiago passed a smile back at me.

That’s when another message popped up on my phone from Maynard.

Maynard: Did you tell everybody you have two mates now?

I didn’t know what was the purpose of it so I replied to him in all honesty.

Me: Not yet

Maynard: Hm! Can I sit with you in the bed?

His question made me look in his direction. It was so awkward because everybody was just watching

everybody at this point.

Me: I don’t think it will be appropriate.

I noticed Maynard sitting straight in the bed after receiving my reply.

Maynard: Why? Because your other mate will feel jealous?

I frowned and didn’t respond to him after that.

And that’s when we heard Zander collapsing in the bathroom.

A loud thud caught our attention and we jumped off the bed to reach the bathroom.

“Zander?” Christina was the first one to express extreme concern and understandably so.

“Somebody help him,” when he didn’t respond to her calls, Christina turned around and looked at the

boys for help.

“Stand aside,” Thiago said while preparing to jump at the door. But right before he could even try to

help her brother, the door opened and Zander came out with no clue why we were all standing out the

door like that.

We were taken aback when we watched him look all fine and in the zone. We all passed a glance in

confusion.

“What is going on?” He pulled the earplugs out and asked us.

It was just weird because not only one person but all of us heard a sound that suggested he collapsed.

“I thought you collapsed,” Christina had already been in tears when she hugged her brother.

She was crying hysterically and I don’t blame her. This was her brother and they cared for each other.

“I am fine. You silly girl,” Zander wrapped his arms around his sister and pulled her in an embrace. He

started comforting her. It seemed like a normal sibling interaction until he raised his eyes at me and I

heard.

‘Mate!’
