Tasting All My Mates

349 A1 Coming out
“What?” Maynard was the first one to react to my words. Christina gasped and covered her mouth in her hands after the shock
left her speechless.
“Shit!” Lazlo instantly covered his face in his hands and mumbled some cursed words at the situation. I was now standing in front
of them with my shoulders raised and my face dug down.
“I am so sorry!” | whispered, almost breaking down once again. That’s when Christina got up from her spit and ap proached me
to wrap her arms around my body to comfort me.
“It is not like you did it. You were just a baby when it all took place,” she heard me tell them all about the red room and how my
mother was cursing everyone around. I didn’t say the names because I knew Maynard would return to his pack soon and will find
out all about it from his mother. I wonder if is that why his mother didn’t like me in the beginning. And maybe she later accepted
me after she realized I have a lot of powers?
“Thank you,” I told Christina, but the others were awfully silent.
“What about the—sacrifice?” Maynard whispered. Obvi ously, they were all having that question in their mind. They wanted to
know how I feel about the whole sacrifice thing now.

can talk about these things later.” Christina held my hand and dragged me to the car and away from the boys.
“Listen! Don’t act like you are guilty. The more you feel ashamed, the more they will find a person to blame. You did nothing
wrong. You were only 6, dammit! Don’t ever let any body think you are evil. You have always been there for every one. Just don’t
let them call you evil or make you feel guilty over something you didn’t even do, got it?” she cupped my face and said the most
calming words in a very sweet voice. I freed my face from her hands and hugged her.
“Awe! Think of me as your sister,” she whispered while hugging me back. I was a bit worried about getting too closer to her
because so far, whoever I found myself closer to, they died
I didn’t want to lose her because of my stupidity.

“Now let’s head back.” She broke the hug and told the oth ers to join us. That car ride was the weirdest thing ever. Lazlo hadn’t
looked my way and Maynard kept stealing glances at me. I wonder why?
Was he judging me or was he second-guessing his state ment when he said not everyone turns out like their parents?
We reached the academy in a few hours and Lazlo sprint ed out of the car as if he wanted to escape the madness. Upon getting
into the room, we found Corbin working out in the middle of the room with no shirt on and Moana sitting in the
corner with her phone in her hands.

“Ah! Roomies.” Corbin straightened his back to welcome us. While passing a quick glance to everyone, his eyes landed on me
and his eyes narrowed on my face.
“What happened to her?” he asked, but he wasn’t smirking this time.
“None of your business,” Lazlo grunted, holding my hand for the first time in hours. “You guys freshen up and then we will have
dinner on the rooftop,” Lazlo told Maynard and Christina while dragging me after him.
I found myself following him in silence until we were on the rooftop
“I know you are probably thinking I am so evil because my mother was evil,” | whispered under my breath as he walked back and
forth.
“No! I just want to know something,” he finally paused and walked over to me. His eyes locked with my eyes and I noticed
something different about them. There was something miss ing in his eyes.
“Did you really not remember your mother cursed him?” he inquired, and my frown grew bigger.
“Lazlo! if I did, I would have told him before.” I said.

“But then you even dreamed about it. How didn’t you re call it happening in your childhood? You made it seem like you were a
seer when, in reality, you have been there when your mother was cursing him,” he was aggressively talking, ques tioning my
memory and intentions.

“So what are you suggesting? That I didn’t tell him on pur pose? Then why did I tell you guys now?” | asked, my eyes watching
his face as he shook his head.
“What if— what if you just wanted him to fall for you so that when you tell him it is you who needs to be sacrificed, he will reject
the idea,” Lazlo shrugged but the theory he came up with sounded ridiculously good. However, I didn’t do that.
“You think I am capable of thinking so evilly?” I asked Laz lo, my eyes filling up with tears once again.
“I don’t know, Enya. But please tell me you didn’t know anything?” he requested as if he would believe me if I say I tru ly didn’t
know.
“I didn’t,” I promised. “If I knew anything, I would have told him and you guys.” I wasn’t lying. Why would I make such a detailed
plan? Besides, it is not like I knew I will be mated to Thiago and all.
“Really? Then tell me, have you told Maynard about your mother?” it was then Lazlo placed his hands on his waist and asked
me. I felt my breath getting stuck in my throat for a mo ment.

“I was going to but I lost the diary,” I didn’t lie once again. I wanted to read in detail what my mother did. I just know she was
cursing him, but there were a lot more pages that I couldn’t read before the diary got stolen.
“Or did you hide it yourself just so that you don’t have to face me?” It was then I heard Maynard mumble from behind me. I
couldn’t believe he listened to everything instead of hearing it from me.
