Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

334 Open Relationship
After Walsh wouldn‘t shut up, Christina hit him on the head and . knocked him out once again. We didn‘t take him to the principal
yet. The boys decided to leave and go to the bar. The timing was a bit odd. They didn‘t even speak to me and left.
“I am sorry for what that guy said. He was trying to get under our skins and turn us against you.” Christina arrived from behind
me and sat down with me on the front porch.
“At least you understand his motives. I don‘t think the boys took it like you,” I sighed as I kept staring at the tall trees.
“I don‘t think they will be stupid enough to take her words seriously,” she uttered
“Christina! These guys are alphas with big egos. They take everything seriously when it is about them getting deceived.”
Although I was talking to her about Maynard and Lazlo, my mind couldn‘t stop worrying about Thiago. It‘s been so long since he
and I connected. I wonder if he feels the same way about me now.
“A few drinks in and they will return to being themselves.” She let out a little laugh to cheer me up, but when it didn‘t work, she
tried another attempt.
“Here!” she held my hand out and rested a key in my palm. “This is the key to the library at our mansion,” she paused after
recalling Zander. “My mansion. I heard you have been wanting to find answers, so I think you should start from there. My father
used to collect all sorts of forbidden books about monsters and hybrids. I am sure I have seen

some research on Lycans in the library. I am sending you the address: Just go explore it. I pray you to find something to help
Thiago,” she was really considerate. I was beginning to see why Maynard liked her. She handed me the key and began typing
the address into her phone for me.
“Why was your father so interested in finding out about monsters?” I asked, and she let out a deep sigh.
“My uncle was a monster, or everybody called him that. My father thought my mom cheated on my dad with that uncle, and,
hence, Zander was born. When he rejected my mother‘s plan to go behind his back and take Zander to my uncle, my mother
was forced to live a life as a nanny.” It seemed like she was on the verge of crying but was holding her tears in.
“Why did your mother take Zander to your uncle?” I questioned.
“Because he was the only one who could understand what was wrong with Zander. She just wanted help, but I guess it
confirmed my father‘s suspicions. Anyway, my father tried to take care of us, but his hatred for our uncle ruined everything. He
got caught harassing everyone and trying to find out about the monsters. Alpha Yale kicked him out of the pack, so he continued
his research as a rogue. However, my uncle found us, but he soon left us because, well, he couldn‘t take care of two little babies
when he was himself a monster. He came back into our lives later on and even promised to take care of us. It was around one
year and a few months ago, but then he vanished. As rogues, we never found out what happened to him,” she suddenly stopped
talking and checked her phone, “The boys are coming back. I will monitor Walsh while you two go get the books. I don‘t think
Thiago has any
more time left, Enya. We need to hurry,” she suggested, and I agreed. with her. I was thankful to her for staying with me when I
needed some support.
The boys came back, and Christina told them about the library. The plan was to pay a quick visit to the library and find as much
information as we could on Thiago‘s condition.
Maynard was a little worried about leaving Christina alone with Walsh, but she reassured him she could take care of herself. And
since he had the bracelet, he couldn‘t hurt a she–wolf.
The car ride was the most awkward ever. Maynard was driving while Lazlo was in the passenger seat and I sat awkwardly in the
backseat. Whatever Walsh said really took a toll on my mental health, but I said nothing to the boys. I didn‘t even want to know
what they were thinking
“That‘s it.” Maynard parked the car near the road, pointing at a mansion at the top of the hills.

“The rogues really love staying around hills,” Lazlo commented, letting out a sigh at how far the mansion was still from us.
“Looks like we have to walk up to the mansion.” Maynard got out of the car, followed by Lazlo and me. He sped up while Lazlo
and I sąuntered behind him.
“Don‘t think I took that boy‘s words seriously. It is not because of him that I am asking you this question.” Lazlo cleared his throat
and started
talking, but he did alarm me from the get–go.
“What do you want to know?” I asked, matching my pace with his pace.
“If I get a second chance mate, will you allow me to be with her?” His question was long overdue. I knew it would be brought up
eventually.
“Lazlo! I don‘t know why you had to take a break from drinking, but it s not like Walsh only talked about me. He said you were
never into me having many mates. Then why did you tell me otherwise?” I was so fed up with answering these alphas the
questions they asked that I forgot that they also make mistakes and owe me answers.
“Does it matter?” He scoffed a little, confirming Walsh‘s words.
“It does. Because of the subtle insults and the way you accuse me of wanting mates and all that is not out of anger. It is all well
thought out. Even though you were told I would never leave Thiago, you still get angry with me. You wanted to be accepted. You
said you want to remain close to me, yet now you are all upset that I have other mates?” Telling him all that made me feel a little
better. Walsh was wrong. I didn‘t deceive anyone.
“Okay! Fair enough. I think it is time we set boundaries now.” The moment he said that I paused a little to look at him.
“Or it‘s going to be an open relationship for both of us.” He didn‘t look my way and sped up to reach the mansion.
