Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

454 She Cannot Steal Him From Me

I pulled back awkwardly while he rested his hands around me on the bed and tried looking into my eyes.

“Now!” I said, holding my breath in and forcing a calming smile onto my lips.

“Now what?” he asked, making me narrow my eyes in his face.

“You said you will give Thiago his body back if I kiss you,” | pouted, reminding him of his deal.

“What? When did I say I would do that?” He pouted, rubbing his finger over his lips, and then licked the taste of me.

“But you—- we were talking about you releasing Thiago, and you asked me for a kiss. I thought you meant a trade,”

I mumbled in amusement.

“First, you were talking about releasing him, and last, I saw you talk and look so cute, so I asked you for a kiss.

There was no trade,” he shrugged, trying to look innocent when my glare turned his face to the other side.

“But I will say you taste good,” he whispered sneakily, getting up on his feet to step aside.

While he was trying to hide from my angry glare, I watched my phone’s screen turn bright as a message popped up

on the screen.

“Who is it?” Theo asked, watching me read the message worriedly.

“It’s the border guard. I have asked him to look for my brother,” I sighed, putting my phone down and getting

worried about Oswin.

“That boy who used to live in the woods?” Theo questioned.

I looked his way and then rolled my eyes when I was certain he was catching on to my actions.

“He helped you many times,” I said, reminding him that Oswin helping Thiago means indirectly helping Theo.

“I was joking. Tell me what happened to him? Why are you looking for him?” Theo asked.

“He told me he was coming for me. But I lost contact with him. after that. I tried contacting his base but couldn’t

find him. I am worried for him,” I uttered and sighed, filling my face in my hands.

It was as if the world didn’t want me to breathe in peace.

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell my guards to start searching for him. Meanwhile, we need to start working on getting Nia

back,” Theo informed, turning around to walk out of the room when I cleared my throat to catch his attention

again.

“Thank you,” I uttered, and in response, he sneakily turned around and blew me a flying kiss.

In response to his action, I rolled my eyes at him.

I have listened to him and realized maybe he has a plan. I have not felt weird about him since he arrived.

We walked out to the garden to have another meeting, where I told Janet all about his plan.

“Hm! Are you sure you want to do this?” Janet asked me, and Theo frowned at her.

“She has to,” he said. “She is the only one who can be a lot more powerful than others and also be a good leader,”

he added, sn*tching a leaf from the tree and tearing it down for

no reason.

“We will have to help her get her wolf back then,” Janet suggested, and Theo nodded.

“By the way, where is your girlfriend? Haven’t seen her the whole day,” Janet folded her arms over her chest to

question Theo. The two seemed to be having a cold war. It was evident that neither liked the other.

“She will be staying with you from now on,” Theo teased her, knowing d*mn well Janet wouldn’t be comfortable

with

Kellice.

“Why are you finding a room for her as if she had been staying in the room with you, and now after my arrival she

is losing her room,” I said, folding my arms over my chest and complaining.

The smile on Janet’s face told me she loved how I was teasing

Theo back.

“NO!” Theo shook his head and pouted. “She is staying in the guestroom,” he stated.

“You seem upset at the fact that she is not staying in the room with you,” I added, teasing him some more while he

glared at Janet for bringing up this topic. He knew I wasn’t a fan of Kellice.

“It didn’t happen, but it might if I want,” a raspy, strong, and commanding voice turned our attention to Kellice.

She walked in our direction, passing smirks and looking confidently. The black top and blue jeans with naturally curly

hair made her look even more stunning.

She took a step closer to Theo and wrapped her arm around his arm, her gaze fixed on mine.

Something flipped inside me. I remember Theo telling me there was nothing going on between them, so why in the

hell was she clinging to him like that?

“I’ll call in the guards and direct them to search for Oswin.” Janet made a quick exit, escaping the awkward

situation.

“You look jealous!” Kellice said, and that’s when Theo steadily freed his arm from her grasp and stepped away from

her.

“Enya didn’t have to be jealous of anyone,” Theo commented, but that didn’t change anything. I was still shooting

arrows at him through my gaze.

“May I have a word alone with you, Theo?” I asked him, not wanting to have a conversation in front of her.

“Why alone? We share a mate; obviously, we share secrets.” The instant she called him her mate, I lost my mind.

I could share anything, but not Thiago and Theo being a big part of belonged to me as well.

“Kellice!” Theo turned to her and stared at her for a minute before he faced me again.

“Let’s go wherever you want me to go,” Theo said, gently touching my elbow to get my attention.

“Why? I’m also your mate. Why can’t you say whatever you have to say in front of me?” Kellice pushed me again,

making me grunt and stretch my neck.

Kellice and I kept glaring into each other’s eyes before I let out a scoff. I was wondering when she would get into an

argument with me, and the day had arrived.

But why was she bothered about me and Theo if there was nothing going on between them?
