Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

“Thiago! Where are you going?” I was briskly following him through the hallways, expecting him to stop. 

“I am going to the room. Why?” He finally stopped and shrugged his shoulders at me for acting like that. 

“No! I thought you meant something else when you said I shouldn’t look for you,” I walked closer to him, standing

face to-face and aiming for eye contact. 

“Really? I don’t remember saying anything. I just returned from the principal’s office,” he said, and my body

shuddered at acknowledgment. His memory was getting messed up now. 

“Oh! Okay.” I didn’t want to bug him for his memory and let him pass through. When we walked back into the room,

we found Christina in Maynard’s arms and Lazlo waiting for us awkwardly. 

“What is going on over here?” Thiago questioned causally, reaching for his bed and flopping down comfortably.

Since we all knew the symptoms, we didn’t act surprised. 

However, Christina broke the hug to walk over to me. I saw her eyes scanning me and her lips quivering. 

“I am sorry for making you feel like you should apologize for defending yourself. It is difficult to accept that my

father was a ra—,” she pressed her lips in a tight line and wrapped her arms around her body anxiously. 

“Hey! It is not like it was your fault. I think all the trauma from seeing his wife go behind his back and then watching

his son grow up as a monster messed something in his head.” Theld her hand to comfort her. She was dead cold,

which was odd  11 289 Vouchers for a werewolf. 

“Thank you,” she said. “I will need some time to get better and maybe get out of all the trauma I have been put

through in the last few months. I just don’t know how to get over that phase and be myself.” I understood what she

meant. Being through so much can change a person’s whole personality. 

“I will help you with that. Don’t ever think you are alone.” Maynard approached her from behind and wrapped his

arms around her to give her a hug. I watched him sneakily lift his face from her neck and look at me. He was

probably feeling bad that I got to relive the trauma of that night with her father after his name was brought up

again. 

I waited for Thiago to get up and go to the restroom so that I could talk to the others about his condition. The

instant | made sure he had turned on the shower, I got off my bed and stood between the beds. Everybody frowned

at first and then understood I wanted to talk to them about something in private. 

“Guys! That person talking to us wasn’t Thiago. He was under the influence of his Lycan,” I whispered, and their

eyes popped out in shock. Christina and Maynard left their beds to walk closer, while Lazlo too joined me on the

floor as I sat down. 

“I tried talking to him about the ways we could save him, but it seemed like he didn’t like the idea. He doesn’t want

anybody to be sacrificed for him,” I said, watching their faces one by one. 

“I am lost. Why would he want that? Does he not want to live a happy life with you?” Christina objected. She was

right, but

there was more to the story. 

“He thinks it will be too much if we make someone sacrifice themselves for him.” I sighed, clutching my hands

together and remembering our kiss on the rooftop. 

“But you are definitely not going to listen to him, right?” Lazlo already knew that I would not agree with Thiago, “So

let us know what we need to do?” he asked for the orders and a smile crept over my lips. It was nice watching them

try to reconcile with me by offering me their help and not questioning my plan. 

“I will be on board.” Maynard raised his hand a little. We were sitting on the floor with our heads brought closer and

whispering like creeps. 

“I will join you guys. It will be a good distraction.” Christina was nice enough to offer her help when she could have

just asked for some time to mourn. 

“Okay! Here is what we need to do. We need to visit his pack and ask the beta about his past. Janet Mackenzie! I

have met her before, but it seems like she will never open up to me. She hated the sight of me, so one of you has

to go get answers from her. If we can find—” I was in the middle of a discussion when the door opened and Moana

walked in on us, drunk and sleepy. 

“What is going on here?” she almost tripped, holding onto the wall and laughing at herself. 

“Nothing! Do you need help?” I got up from the floor and the others followed me. 

11 288 Vouchers “Oh! Thank you, love!” She reached for my hand and I helped her lie down in her bed. She wasn’t

in a state to change or Iake a shower, but we didn’t continue the conversation again. Taking a risk at this crucial

time was not an option. 

We later decided to meet in the woods and make a detailed plan in the morning. Obviously, we were not planning to

go back to the cabin anytime soon for obvious reasons. 

Soon we were all headed to our beds, and after making sure Thiago had fallen asleep, I closed my eyes and dozed

off. There was no use in talking to him about anything. He would still disagree with us, but I wasn’t planning to leave

his side until I helped him beat his Lycan. 

The night went by just like it always does, and we woke up to a rather disappointing sight. It was one of those

moments when you think, I wish I hadn’t fallen asleep. 

“What is going on, guys?” I was jolted awake by Lazlo’s grunting and walking around crazily. Everybody looked upset

and devastated. I stared at the clock and realized it was only 6 a.m. 

“Guys! What—” | paused when my eyes landed on Thiago’s bed. My worst fear came to life at the sight of

destruction.
