Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

66-They Fight Over Me

“Enya!”

“Enya! Are you okay?” a fainted voice shook me awake. I opened my eyes with difficulty and found my

body in my bed.

“What happened?” Lazlo’s voice was a hint that I wasn’t alone. They were all gathered around me and

staring at me.

I then realized what had probably happened. I passed out once I used too much of my powers. I shook

my head and tried waking up entirely to hear what the others were saying to Thiago.

“It is always you who gets her in trouble,” Maynard grunted, standing with his bed and accusing Thiago.

“I know right! It is like whenever he gets closer to her, she gets in trouble,” Lazlo said, joining Maynard.

By this time, already knew Lazlo and Maynard were one team. They didn’t like Thiago or probably didn’t

get along with him. It was Thiago’s choice as well because he refused to hang out with them.

I have seen him sit alone and do massive research and spend time on his computer or phone, God

knows doing what, then to spend time with them.

“Enough!” | groaned, sitting up in the bed. They watched my face and then shared a glance, probably

because they knew I was going to take Thiago’s side.

“He didn’t do anything and please can you two remind me when was the last time he got me in trouble?”

| stared at them, reminding them with my eyes what they did was still fresh in my memory.

“And before you two argue, next time when you lie about me, make sure you don’t act all saint

afterward,” I finished talking but they knew I was not listening to them anymore.

“We didn’t lie because of a malicious intent,” Maynard stepped ahead to argue more.

“Can we let her rest?” Thiago finally spoke up after he had enough of our arguments.

“Malicious or not, you fooled me,” I wasn’t quitting either. I got off the bed to stand face to face with

Maynard, who was not backing down either.

“And that was fair of you when you decided to pick him and reject the two of us?” as Maynard recalled

the conversation he had heard back when Thiago and I were in the woods, Lazlo heaved a gasp from his

gaping mouth.

“She was going to reject us?” Lazlo pushed Maynard back so that he can be the one I face now. His

eyes were glaring into mine angrily as if I have received them.

“And he asked her to do it,” to add fuel to the fire, Maynard pointed at Thiago.

“That will be enough,” Thiago came forward to grab my hand and pull me back from the two. Now it was

them staring into each other’s eyes.

I was tired of this back and forth, they need to get one thing clear. I was not a reward and neither a

competition

“You two have been trying your best to cause a rift between us. It is not like you two didn’t try for her to

pick you, so don’t point at me.” Thiago was talking to them but they were only scoffing at his every word.

“At least we didn’t ask her to reject anyone,” with that one phrase, Maynard collected his jacket and

sprinted out of the room.

Lazlo passed me one last glance after he glared at Thiago and followed Maynard to the outside I had no

clue how to deal with this mess when I was already under so much stress

I flopped down in the bed and sighed. Thiago turned over to me and sat down with me. I know we had a

lot to talk about including the way I clicked those locks open and then passed out.

“What you did on the rooftop was spectacular,” he held my hands tightly, but once again. I felt nothing. I

was slightly on the edge thinking maybe I lost that power?

I didn’t know how it works but it was indeed weird.

66-They Fight Over Me

“Yeah! But I passed out,” I responded weakly. Was I really that special? It was like somebody telling me

my previous years were a joke. I have lived hearing I am a weak omega and I will be nothing if I didn’t

get accepted by a strong and powerful mate. Which was why I stuck around with Corbin for so long. I

was now realizing he used to be abusive from the start. I just choose to ignore it because he wasn’t

abusing me.

“That happens with power. You just need to make sure you keep practicing until you stop passing out.”

He was very supportive of my powers, something that Maynard and Lazlo lacked.

They wanted me to be with them when they needed me, but where were they when I wanted help with

my powers?

Oh yeah! They were right here making fun of me.

“I am not ready yet?” I asked and he shook his head.

“We wouldn’t want you to pass out right when you unlock the lockers, do we?” he cupped my face but

then pulled away when his phone rang in his pocket.

“I will attend this call and be right back with you, okay?” he got up from my side and left the room to

speak to whoever was calling him

Now that I was alone with Nia, I wanted to hear from her.

‘Are you there?’ I asked because previously she was gone for a day or so.

lam,’ she replied, ‘I got sort of wasted when I used most of my energy to save us the other day,’ she

replied happily.

I know she was surprised too now that she knew she wasn’t weak at all.

‘About that. Thiago is really helping us out, isn’t he?’ I mentioned him because just when I thought he

was over me; he came back for me.

“Yeah!’ she didn’t say much and her silence kind of got me curious.

‘What is it?” I asked and when she didn’t respond, I decided to ask her again, ‘I have noticed one of our

powers is gone. Every time I touch his hands, I feel nothing.’ I stated just to hear what she has to say

about it?

That is concerning me as well. Are we supposed to lose powers like this?’ she asked and it worried me

too because what if I lose my power night when I am in the building and ready to unlock the vault?
