Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

388-Not A Blessing

We started helping everyone around us while the witches kept coming back. I had to whistle into the microphone to

scatter them away. At this point, my throat was turning dry from all the whistling. It seemed like I wouldn't be able

to carry on after an hour. I was already low on energy.

It was then that somebody informed us that Moana had come to the academy with the rest of her witches. We had

to hide most of the students in the cellar, while there were only a few of us left on our floor.

"We need someone in the basement," I told the others, "Thiago! You will go down there and make sure you keep

them safe." I pointed at Corbin, who was about to listen to me, but then he stopped dead in his tracks and stared at

me in confusion. I noticed the principal and even Lazio watching me in bewilderment.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"I am Corbin!" Corbin said as he walked away from us, looking all sad. It was only then that I realized what a

mistake I had made. I stole eyes from the others, and then, soon, the principal headed downstairs to his office. He

had to make sure he kept the others informed via phone, just in case Moana sent her witches away to the other

packs as well.

"What the heck does she want?" Lazio grunted, mentioning Moana.

"She wants my powers," I admitted, and he turned to me with a very quizzical look on his face.

"Enya! You do realize so many people have already been injured; you are seriously resisting giving her your

powers?" he exclaimed, rather than asking me what my reaction to her was.

"Lazio! enough with questioning me all the time. I would have given her my magic in a heartbeat if she had asked

for it nicely instead of abducting me and making it very clear to me that once she gets the powers, she will make

sure she could make everyone her slave," I shouted even louder at him.

"Oh, these love birds are fighting." Her maniacal laugh and comment reached our ears first before she came into

our sight.

"You should learn to respect the alpha mate of yours. At this point, they are beginning to look like your pet dogs

instead of werewolves," she clicked her tongue, shaking her head while emotionally damaging Lazio.

"And that will make me turn against her?" Lazio let out a scoff at her, and it ruined her smile.

"We might fight and argue a lot, but that's because we are more than just mates. We are friends too, who aren't

afraid of expressing our feelings to each other without fear of how the other will respond to us. Something you will

never have because you are not Enya." hearing it from Lazio shocked me. I really thought he was exhausted by me

and didn't believe I was good at anything.

"Right! Trust me, once I get those powers, I don’t need an alpha mate. I will happily force you all to sleep with me

whenever I want." She shrugged her shoulders, making her intentions known to us.

"That will only happen if you get her powers, which is not happening," Lazio grunted as he stepped ahead of me.

"Oh! So you decided to give up on your life for her? That's not a problem. At least I know who I need to send my

loyal army after." She stepped back and pointed at Lazio.

"Attack him," she told her witches, who didn't waste a single minute before rushing in our direction.

"NO!" I raised my hand, and they collapsed back. It would take them no more than five seconds to retrieve it and

return it to us.

Every time they would reach closer, I would repeat the spell in my mouth and push them back until it became

harder for me to carry on.

"Argh!" A scream left my lips when they were able to come at me. I felt a stinging claw scratch my forehead and

then grab me by my hair to drag me away from Lazio while another witch got a hold of him.

"Hold on! Enya!" Lazio yelled, moving around to get out of the witch's grasp.

I whistled, and they let him go, but only to grab him again. It was then that Moana entered one of the rooms and

drew a passed-out she-wolf out to show us.

"Now! If you don't give me your powers, your beloved fellows

will die one by one." While her witches cornered us at the walls, our backs sticking against the hard walls, Moana

made threats.

"Let her go. She didn't do anything to deserve this," I yelled, and Moana let out a laugh in return.

"Of course, she didn't. That's why her death will be on you," she said with a smirk on her lips. I was struggling to

free my hands; my mouth was too dry to let out a single whistle.

"So tell me, what do you say? I kill these people. Who thinks you will be able to protect them? Just imagine what will

happen after I unleash my wrath on them. Nobody will survive, and then what? What will you do in a world full of

dead bodies? Would your magic be able to recover her? Is it worth losing lives for?" She was speaking in a normal

tone, acting like she wasn't cruel enough to talk about wiping out every single person on earth for the sake of

magic.

"It is not a blessing. You are fighting for something that is cursed." I whimpered as I watched her drag the girl

around by her hair. My heart cried for the poor girl. She didn't even know what mistake she had made to be treated

this way.

"If you think it’s a cursed thing, give it to me; I don't mind if it's cursed or if I get some pain in return," she

shrugged, clearly perplexed as to why I would call those powers cursed.
