Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

350-They Play Too Much 

 “I promise I didn’t hide the diary. Somebody stole it from me.” I started talking the instant Maynard showed up with

Christina. 

“But why didn’t you tell me it was your mother who ruined my childhood?” He yelled at me, and I took a few steps

back from him nervously. 

“How could I? I was ashamed of the shit my mother had done. I didn’t want you all to see me in that light.” I

whispered in guilt, “I wanted to read the whole thing first. And then I thought you would want to hear it from your

mom when you confront her.” | bet whatever I said sounded like a bunch of excuses to them. 

“I don’t know what to say anymore, Enya. I wanted to read about what they did to me just so my mother is unable

to lie to me about anything, but you took away that chance from me,” Maynard said, finally turning his gaze away

from my face. 

“I didn’t want to. I didn’t know the diary was wi—,” before | could even finish, Maynard sprinted away and I was left

alone with Christina and Lazio. Christina passed me a sad glance, ex cusing herself because she had to go check on

Maynard. 

“I will go be with him for now,” Lazlo said as he hastened away from me as if he couldn’t stand near me. At that mo

ment, I felt like I had lost everything. 

I sat on the ground and raised my face to stare at the star rysky, my eyes filling with tears. 

289 Vouchers “I don’t even know how you would have reacted after find ing out it was my mother who had cursed

you. Would you have hated me too?” | asked the sky, but I was talking to that missing mate of mine who took my

heart away with him. 

‘I don’t think he would have,’ Nia said. ‘I know for a fact that he would have never even made us feel responsible

for anything. Thiago was and is the only mate of ours who has never judged us.’ She sounded so down that my

heart ached for her. But she was right. Thiago would have never done what they were doing. 

‘But I cannot blame them either. Maynard’s entire child hood was cursed due to my mother. Maybe he was

expecting me to not hide the truth from him.’ I excused Maynard’s be havior. He was hurt and had every right to be

upset with me for hiding my mother’s sin from him. However, I did not hide the diary. I got up from the ground and

walked over to the edge to stare down without giving it much thought when my eyes picked up something. 

I saw Moana walking out of the academy in haste and al most sneakily. She was looking around when she was

rushing towards the road. 

I kept staring at her until she disappeared, and then Corbin came into my sight. He left the academy after her in the

same manner. He wasn’t the type to hide from anyone, so where was he headed that he didn’t want anybody to

catch him? 

W ochers I think they are up to something,’ | whispered, turning around and rushing downstairs to follow them. I

understand my life is full of a mess right now, but there is one person I still can’t stop worrying about. 

‘I am going to follow them and make them confess to their plans,’ I said. It was just a fact that, somewhere deep

inside, I felt like I needed to fix things. Since everybody had been look ing at me like I was a big culprit, I found my

brain wanting to prove to them that I was not a bad person. I walked straight towards the exit and left after them. I

was able to catch up with them, but I made sure I kept a safe distance between us. 

It was clearly suspicious that the two were not walking to gether. She was a few steps ahead of him, and he was

follow ing her. After about an hour-long walk, I found them getting marched inside an abandoned house. After

Moana entered, Corbin stayed outside for three minutes and then followed her inside. 

‘I knew it. I knew they were here for a reason.’ It was a good way to be helpful and solve an issue instead of

causing one, like my mother. 

I rushed over to the house and walked inside with my heart beating inside my chest. I had prepared myself for any

thing worse. The house looked like it had been abandoned in sheer panic. There was furniture all over the place,

and even the dirty dishes were resting on the floor. There was a living room upon entrance, and attached to it was

a kitchen. Then there were stairs that led to the second floor, where I believe 788 Vouchers they went 

Taking the stairs, I reached the very first room where I ex pected to find them. I kind of felt like I was going to

witness the same shit as I witnessed when my mom was cursing Thia go. 

“I can do this,” I told myself, hyping myself up. I slammed the door open and walked inside, all prepared. However, I

was met with disappointment and guilt the moment I saw what they were doing. 

“Hey!” Moana complained, quickly pulling her pants up, adjusting her dress, and jumping out of the bed. 

“Babe!” Corbin looked my way and gasped. “I don’t know when she slid into bed with me, but trust me, I came here

alone.” His words confused me. I stared at him as he rolled out of bed, looking for his pants. 

I was stunned by his reaction. 

“Why do you look so sad? You said you want to have your mates and I can have mine,” he was yammering out of

his ass, so I decided to just leave. I couldn’t even apologize for walking in on them. The moment I took a step back

to turn around, I bumped into someone. 

“Lazlo!” I said, watching his jaw clench at my sight.
