Tasting All My Mates

341 Gone Away

and closet. Reaching him with slow and heavy steps, I looked around and found no signs of him. He was gone!
He packed all his stuff and left.
“Oh no! I should have known this is what he meant when he asked me not to look for him.” I felt like breaking down right before
them.
“Why is everyone awake?” Moana murmured sleepily, resting her head on the pillow once more. I slipped into my sneakers
to leave after Thiago. He must be found; I will find him.
“Where are you going?” Lazlo tried grabbing my hand, but I had escaped the room already. I was rushing towards the exit with
tears appearing and disappearing in my eyes.
“His cellphone is off,” Maynard uttered as he rushed behind me. I heard them whisper and follow me. I wasn’t alone, but
Thiago was.
‘How did we think he would not take this step?’ I asked Nia, who was suffering from heartbreak just as much as I was.
‘We never thought he would do something like that. The moment he kissed us, he intoxicated me with his love.’ Nia’s
voice was heavy from whimpering inside.
‘I will find him, no matter what. If he thinks running away will help him get away from me, he is wrong. I will never let him go.’l
was communicating with Nia instead of my mate, who was rushing behind me and ready to stay beside me without questioning
anything. I just felt safer with Nia at that moment.
Once we had walked out of the academy, I looked at either side of the road and tears streamed down my eyes. One path led to
the mountains and the other to the woods. He could be anywhere. In fact, what if he just left the country?

“Enya! I think he is gone.” This time, it was Maynard who said those heartbreaking words.

I ignored him and raised my hands and closed my eyes. “Thiago! Please show me where you are,” I begged, sniffling and
shaking in my body.
“Please!” I whimpered as I tried to connect with him. He had masked his aura and scent perfectly. Not only that, he had already
blocked me from using my magic to find him.
“I feel nothing.” That was it. I lowered my hands and complained, “He doesn’t want to be found,” I stated the obvious and
dropped on my knees to cry into my palms.
“Hey!” Lazlo was quick enough to get on his knees and wrap his arms around my body to comfort me.
“Hush! You did everything you could to save him. He just didn’ t want to stick with us and burden us with his worries,” Lazlo
whispered to comfort me.
“But I never saw his worries as a burden. I was more than available to help him. Searching for a way to help him wasn’t painful,
but him leaving like that is killing me.” I was now crying loudly and hugging Lazlo back.
“I understand. We have formed a connection with him. We can feel the loss of a friend,” Lazlo agreed with me, but didn’t insist on
taking me inside the academy again. It was because

through and you will be the first person he will consume. Last, I hope you all can forgive me for running away like a coward. And
I know little Miss Queen will not stop looking for me and for a way to help me, so here is what I decided to do. I am giving up my
body. I am no longer there. By the time you receive this letter, I will be far gone and not even in my human body anymore. I love
you all. May you live the life I could—n’ t,” Lazlo stuttered as he dropped the letter and stepped away from it. Tears consumed
him and he broke down.
As for me, I didn’t even know what to say. Did I push him into accepting his Lycan?
Of course I did. I was the reason he let his Lycan take over from the start, and I became the reason that he ran away, giving his
body to his Lycan.
