Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

184-She is Upto Something

It was so awkward sleeping in the boy’s room. I slept in peace, though. I did hear Lazlo standing at the

door and scolding everyone whenever somebody walked inside, talking loudly. He made sure nobody

woke me up. After some hours, they all went to bed as well. Thiago had his arm packed around my

body as he dozed off.

By the time I woke up again. I was feeling fine. I cozied up with Thiago and focused on the wall with the

clock defining 3:35 am. I was beginning to remember the unfortunate events of the last day. Whoever

kidnapped me just wanted to taste my blood? I mean, what else could be the reason for that

abduction?

It just didn’t make any sense.

I then realized I need to go see the mark on my boob. I must observe it and make sure it is not causing

an infection. Unwrapping Thiago’s arm, I sneakily got out of bed. It was so damn peaceful and pin-drop

silence that taking long breaths made me feel like I might wake somebody up. After successfully

walking out of the room, 1 tiptoed into the girl’s room. It was dark here as well.

Just when I entered the room, I saw a shadow standing near my bed. Not to mention, it wasn’t only my

bed. Christina and I had our bags on the side. The suite was extremely big, with two bathrooms, two

bedrooms with glass sliding doors in the middle, and a living room.

The shadow was none other than Willow. I watched her fold something and shove it in Christina’s bag

and then zip it shut. Because I was still in the living room, she couldn’t see me. She then crossed the

sliding door and walked back to her room to sleep.

I was dumbfounded by what she was doing. What could it be? What would she be hiding in Christina’s

bag?

I didn’t do much and headed straight into the bathroom. When I took off my dress, it frightened me to

see nothing on my boob but just a hickey

It was odd and made zero sense. I ended up taking a warm shower and then sliding under the blanket

to get more rest.

We woke up by the alarms so that nobody misses breakfast and after getting ready, we all headed to

the hall.

“Hey! how are you now?” while the others sped away, I stayed behind to catch up with Lazlo and

Thiago.

“I am fine, much better,” i told Thiago and also told Lazlo with a bow that I was doing well.

“But what happened last day? How did you end up in the basement and that drug in your body? Who

had done it?” Thiago interrogated while gently placing his hand on my shoulder. I noticed his eyes

wandering around my neck.

“He didn’t mark me,” I reassured him since I believed that is what he was wondering about.

*Umm! I didn–,” he scratched the back of his neck and pulled his body away, “who?” he then retrieved

his confidence and asked me directly

“I don’t know. I just remember getting tackled down by someone. He injected something into my neck

and then carried me to the basement.” I recalled the entire incident and my body shuddered.

We haven’t told Mr. Tripper about it. I didn’t think he would care about my safety, anyway.

*And then? Where did all that blood come from?” Lazlo, who had been silently standing by for some

time, finally opened his mouth to question me.

“He-,” i paused, watching them wait for my response.

“Enya! tell me what did he do to you?” Thiago impatiently asked me again.

“He bit me on my—- on my boob!” I finished and watched their faces change colors.

“Eh!” Thiago scoffed, stepping away from me.

“But I am fine. I don’t know what he was trying to do.” I tried to hold his hand, but he was rather

stepping away from me.

“We need to find him,” he whispered in a bone-chilling voice.

“Yes! We will, but you need to calm down first.” I was panicking at how his veins were popping out of

his temples.

“We need to find him,” he said in a breathless tone this time.

“Lazlo!” i eyed him to not just stand by and do something. I fathomed Lazlo was also lost and angry, but

we needed to calm Thiago down first

*Thiago! If you will lose yourself now, who will take care of her?” it was then Lazlo bent down with

Thiago, who had his arms wrapped around his stomach as he fought his wolf from taking over.

“She will be lost without you,” Lazlo’s words compelled Thiago to raise his face and meet eyes with

mine.

“I need you,” I whispered.

“Hey! what is going on over there? Are you going to come for breakfast or not?” Christina yelled from

afar, joyfully approaching us.

“Thiago! Please!” i turned to him and begged him to simmer down. Nobody needs to know our secrets.

“I am fi—ne,” Thiago forced his body up and straightened his back. I can only imagine how much pain

he feels every time his wolf tries to get out

“Come guys! I reserved a table for us.” she finally stopped with us and stared at Thiago as if she was

observing him.

“Thank you. He is so damn hungry.” I joked, pointing at Thiago and getting near him to wrap my arm

around his back.

“Oh! Then let’s go.” Christina didn’t stay behind to gossip. Soon, we head down to take our seats. It

was uncomfortable sharing seats with the twins and Maynard when there was a lot that Lazlo, Thiago,

and I needed to discuss.

We had to accept their offer so that they didn’t suspect anything.

my.

“So, what happened yesterday? Who hurt you?” Zander asked in an undertone. He didn’t really look up

from his plate. He was steadily stabbing the waffles with the fork and not taking a bite.

“I don’t know. Maybe some thug.” I didn’t know what else to say. Maynard was thankfully busy with

Christina; the only problem was Zander. If he was also immersed somewhere, I could text Thiago and

Lazlo to decide on a place to have a secret conversation.

Just when I was wishing Zander to get distracted, he did get distracted, but it wasn’t what I had

expected it to be like.

He started gagging and twitching as if he was about to throw up. Without further delay, he took to his

feet and sped out of the hall.

We all shared glances and decided to follow Christina, who left us in tears to check up on her brother.

Zander had even run out of the hotel to grab the fresh air. Just when he was between the fields, he

couldn’t hold up and threw up.

But it wasn’t food he vomited. He threw up blood.
