Tasting All My Mates

330-The Boy From The Island
“Wow! This room is spacious. Of course, it is. Silly me! It is a room for Alphas, their mates, and even a hybrid Luna Queen.”
Moana hadn’t shut up from the moment she walked into our room. Everybody was a bit sad because that was a re minder that
Zander was gone and it hurt Christina. But they still managed to welcome Moana. I, however, didn’t even want to speak to her.
She was far too upbeat and optimistic. What if Thiago finds comfort in her? “Ah! A hybrid,” she then looked my way and smiled, “I
am such a huge fan of yours.” Her words made me put up a fake smile for her.
I have been sitting in my bed, looking super salty. I am sure others noticed it because they kept saying they smelled jealousy in
the air in the group chat we had created.
“How did you manage to survive here?” she snickered, looking all impressed and passing smiles.
“Thanks to my mates,” I said, not wanting to discuss any thing with her.
“Oh yeah! They are all your mates, right?” she asked, and I shook my head.
“Maynard is Christina’s mate.” I looked at Christina, who smiled awkwardly. It must be so hard for her to hear every time
somebody meets us.
“Ah! You are the girl who killed her brother, right? Why? Was he the monster?” Moana turned to Christina and her questions
ruined the environment instantly. Up till now, she was super sweet, but we could still tell she was a gossiper.
“I need some air.” Christina didn’t want to talk about it,

and I don’t blame her. The moment Christina left the room, everybody turned to glare at Moana.
“What? Did I ask something wrong?” She bit her tongue, squeezing her shoulders together and looking timid.
“I am sorry if I did,” she apologized to Maynard, who didn’ t respond to her and ran after Christina. Now that there were only us
four, I noticed how she was constantly looking at Thia go.

“You wear contact lenses?” The moment she hunched down in front of Thiago, we all held our breaths. Ever since his one eye
changed color, he had been wearing grey lenses to hide his true identity. But now that a stranger has entered our room, I’m
afraid Thiago will spend the night here, but he doesn’t have a choice. He had spent way too many nights out side, and now he
was asked to stay in as he had wasted all his chances of spending nights out of the academy.
“Why? Do you wanna gossip about that too?” | comment ed to get her attention. She straightened her back and looked my way
silently for a moment before she smiled again.
“No! I was just asking. Anyway, I will go eat something. Would anyone want to join me?” She clapped her hands, sounding super
fake, and then left the room once nobody ac cepted her offer.
The awkward silence among us was hurtful. We used to be so happy together, and now it’s all gone.
“I will go get you food,” Lazlo reckoned. I needed some time alone with Thiago, from the way I was constantly looking at him. I
did. And I wanted to speak to him and ask him why he had been ignoring me.
The moment Lazlo left, I got up from my bed and faced Thiago. He was playing a game on his face to keep himself oc cupied
while I stood in his face like a stubborn hybrid.
“What is going on? Why do you ignore me now?” I asked, waiting for him to respond, but he barely looked my way.
“She was flirting with you, wasn’t she? Why didn’t you tell me you had saved someone?” I was bombarding him with all those
questions that I thought might make him respond to me, but the silence was all he was giving me, and it broke my heart.
“Do you hate me now?” The power in my voice withered away when asking him that question, “Do you blame me for your
condition?” I whispered, fidgeting with my fingers and fighting the tears in my eyes. He finally stopped playing the game and
raised his face to look at me.
“Why would you think that?” he asked. The way he looked so hurt was such a relief. It proved he wasn’t over me yet.
“Because you are ignoring me. If you were going to avoid me, you shouldn’t have sacrificed so much. I wanted Thiago, not this
Lycan who is so dismissive of my feelings.” I couldn’t hold the tears in anymore. A big tear left my eye and cleared my vision for
a moment before the other appeared.
“I don’t regret anything, Enya. It is just that

you need to understand—-I am a lost cause now. You trying to stick with me is only going to hurt you when you see me leave.
You need to get over me and move on while I am alive and kicking, because the instant I turn into my full form; I want one of you
to end me before I end somebody.” The way he spoke of all that without thinking twice broke my heart. I was staring at
him with my mouth hung low and my eyes streaming tears. How could he say all that in such a cold tone?
“You are so cold,” I whispered. “How could you say that to me?” Just the thought of him dying had me shaken up. He de serves
credit for believing he can say whatever he wants and I will not be affected by it.
“You have already found that one mate you are happy with. You don’t need to be shared anymore. Just stick with him. He will
keep you safe and happy just the way you will keep him safe and happy,” Thiago stated, looking down so that I could not see his
eyes.
“And you want me to move on from you? Is that what you want?” I felt my heart missing beats, watching him nod faintly at me.
“Enya! It’s not long until I’m gone. You need to get used to my absence.” He must have cried all those nights when he was away
from us because he didn’t even stutter when asking me to get used to him not being around me.
“I wish I had never accepted Zander on that island. After that, you didn’t look at me the same way.” I felt like saying gibberish,
blaming anything but his Lycan. And that was when something struck me.
“Wait! Island!” | turned to look at Thiago, “Tha——” | paused when he narrowed his eyes at me.
“What? Tell me what is wrong?” Him being protective of me, let go of the cold expression in an instant.
“Nothing,” I said, “You don’t want me around, so I will just do that,” I said, and he shook his head at me to warn me, but I
walked out of the room in a hurry.
‘Nia! That Boy Walsh is the same guy who took our blood on that island,’I hesitantly reminded her of the guy.
