Chapter 248
Read Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee Chapter 248 – It Is Not What It Seems like
Enya’s POV:
I don‘t know how things went between us. That conversation seemed good enough. But the tension was not over yet. It was just
hard to explain what was keeping us apart.
I could tell what was stopping me from touching him. It was the fact that I had gone behind his back and done everything he
never liked. I even started a physical relationship with Lazlo while Thiago was suffering and dealing with the betrayal. I couldn‘t
bring myself to touch him and claim him as mine anymore.
“There is something Poppy said that I cannot get out of my head,” I whispered my worries out of my lips once there was nothing
else to say about us at the moment.
“You know you can share your worries with me, right?” he stated, carrying a comforting smile on his lips. “What did she say?” he
asked.
“She mentioned Oswin as my—–brother and it wasn‘t some metaphor.” My heart ached when I recalled her words. It would be so
sad if there was a little truth in it and I didn‘t even know it all along.
“What? That is—does that mean he is also a hybrid?” Thiago sat down in his bed and rubbed his temples to focus on the subject
at hand.
“I don‘t know. It can be possible because he used to go into the woods and bring back stuff that is not usually easy to get. But
why was I never told I had a brother and what happened to him? Why wasn‘t he around?” I was going crazy thinking about it,
and the only thing I could remember was Oswin calling me his little sister once.
“Do you want to go talk to him?” Thiago then released his face from his hands to suggest I should check up on Oswin.
“I don‘t know how to face him. I am not even sure if he knows about Poppy.” | whispered in a defeated tone. She had been his
only friend, or should I say, he thought she was.
“I am not sure why you two don‘t remember if you were ever siblings unless you were separated when you were little, but I do
think he will remember this time if you aren‘t around to show support to him. He is alone and probably wants someone to be
there for him.” Thiago was right. I can not leave him alone in this condition.
“Are you going to come with me?” I asked, hoping he would join me. I now have many mates, but Thiago always gave me
comfort and let me deal with things my way without judging me.
“I wish I could,” he uttered as he got on his feet. “I think it will be too soon and inappropriate for me to tell him, hey! I killed Poppy.
But I will be waiting for you outside the room.” He then promised as he gestured at the door.
“Now? You want me to go now?” I questioned while rolling my eyes. The little smirk on his lips when watching me act like that
was adorable. I could tell he loved the annoying version of me.
“Yeah! Don‘t let him cope with it alone,” he uttered and almost bent over to grab my hand, but then didn‘t touch me. Every time
we made a move and backed down, it left us in an awkward position.
“Okay. Let me grab my phone.” I picked up my phone and left the room with him Neither Zander nor Lazlo was around, so I didn‘t
have to worry about the quizzical stares.
I walked downstairs and to the first floor to see Oswin, who was still in the guestroom. He had already recovered but was put in
the room to make sure he was in good mental health before they released him.
I entered the room to find him lying on the bed. His face turned to the side from where he could look outside the window.
“Oswin!” I whispered. My voice was able to drag him back to reality. He instantly shifted to see me and sat up with tears flowing
down his eyes. I rushed over and sat beside him “She is gone,” he was sobbing when he hugged me to cry on my shoulder. He
has been the biggest support system for me ever since I joined this academy. I was glad Thiago convinced me to come here
sooner.
“Everything will go back to normal before you know it,” I whispered, patting his back. But that didn‘t satisfy him. He broke the hug
and stared me in the eye.
When the rogues attacked him, they left a lot of injuries on his head. We had told an elaborate lie to the counselors about us
getting ambushed by the rogues one morning and then, to save ourselves, we had to kill them.
Where the academy was extremely happy and relieved, I forgot Oswin would look at it differently .
“How? How could he kill her?” His eyes held anger and resentment for Thiago. The problem was that they didn‘t tell him how
Poppy died or what she was doing, but they did tell him who killed her.
“I understand your feelings, but she was a skinwalker. If Thiago hadn‘t killed her, she would have killed the others.” I was not
comfortable telling him the entire truth of how she killed my baby because we kept my involvement hidden from the school and
the counselors.
“Then he could have taken her out. Skinwalker or not, she was brainwashed.” For someone who didn‘t know the entire truth and
how evil his mate was, he was obviously sad for her.
“You just get better and then I wi–” I wasn‘t going to tell him the entire truth here in this room. There was a camera pointing at us.
Mr. Tripper was watching us.
“Don‘t tell me you forgave Thiago for hurting Poppy.” It was then he steadily pulled away from me.
“– let‘s talk about it lat–,” I hesitantly shook my head, not knowing how to deal with this situation.
“Can I be left alone for now?” he requested as he lied down again and refused to look my way. I couldn‘t even tell him anything
about us being siblings.
“Sur–,” I murmured in tears.
“Wait!” he then called for me out of the blue.
“Thank you for coming here,” his eyes told the truth. I walked back to his bed and gently caressed his cheek.
“I am always here for you.” As I said that, he got up and hugged me. The fact that he had always seen me as his sister was just
a sign that either he knew or he felt the connection. The door suddenly opened, and I heard someone let out a scoff.
As we broke the hug, I watched Lazlo glaring at us and then muttering,
“I am sorry! I guess I intervened at the wrong time,”
