Tasting All My Mates

362-Falling Apart
"So you did come here to spy on me and make a mess out of my life,” I yelled the instant Corbin returned to the room after he
kicked her out of the room and locked the door. I could tell she was still outside.
"I did. I wanted to see how your mates were treating you. I Know you don't think I care for you, but that is not the case. I dol" He
yelled back at me. This was the first time I had noticed him acting aggressively. Usually, he was just poking fun at everyone and
annoying us.
"What did she say to Thiago? Why did you let her in, Knowing she wanted to come here only so that she can say something
fucked up to my mate?”
I wasn’t giving up. I shouted another question at him, and he rolled his eyes to express how exhausted I made him feel.
"What she says to him or what he does is not my problem. I told you, I would do anything to be with you. I am not like any of your
mates who just keep you around because they love the idea of having a powerful mate.” He raised his voice even louder, huffing
and puffing air through his nostrils.
"Well, that's the difference between you and my mates. They care about each other,” I said in such a low whisper that he
responded with a laugh only because of the lack of confidence I expressed.
"If so, why aren't they looking for Thiago? You are going to fool me into thinking they want to find Thiago because they want to
live like one happy family?" Corbin scoffed in my face, "Go tell someone else these lies." He walked past me to his bed and lay
down.
"She is outside,” I commented, walking over to my bed but not planning to sleep anytime soon.
"I don't give a flying fuck.” He commented and tucked a pillow under his head to rest.
After about a few minutes, Corbin fell asleep while Lazio came back. Moana sneaked into the room when I opened the door for
him. She didn't say a single word and went to bed. Lazio slept in his bed, and I slept in mine. The room was slowly getting
emptier as someone kept leaving.
The next few days were extremely hectic. We were preparing for our next big assignment while Moana was utterly silent.She
didn't try to speak to Corbin again, and I wanted to ask her what it was that she wanted to tell Thiago.

I thought Corbin was going to kick her out, but then he didn’t. He didn't even tell anyone in the academy that he was not dating
her. I could only think of one reason. If he tells them he broke things off with her, his punishment will be over, and he will have to
leave.
"He gave this for you," I was rudely interrupted when daydreaming by some fellow student. He was holding a red rose in his
hand and pointing at Corbin in the distance. We were sitting in the school’s backyard, preparing for a test, when Corbin wouldn't
stop bugging me.
"He is going to get it from me someday,” Lazio gritted his teeth, not lifting his eyes but talking about Corbin.
“Thank you,” I said as I accepted the rose from the poor student who had been forced to be Corbin's messenger.
"Why did you accept it?" Lazio slammed his book down and glared at me, his face irritated.
"He will bully the poor guy if I don't accept it,” I answered bitterly to Lazio this time. The last time I didn't accept the rose Corbin
sent me, he bullied the same boy for days. I didn’t want the boy to suffer because of me.
"Lazio! We haven't talked about finding Thiago again. Are you even interested anymore?" I asked him, focusing on the bigger
issue.
“What are we going to do after we find him?" He tilted his head and deepened the stare in my eyes.
"We are going to save him,” I replied with a look on my face. I don't know what else he thought we would do, but it was pretty
dumb of him to ask me that.
"That will need your sacrifice," he said, clenching his jaw, his eyes not leaving me alone for a second.
“Okay! And I thin—," I paused because he hunched over as to try to listen to me.
"You are going to give up yourself? Did you even talk to me about it? You are not alone. You are a part of me, Enya. Why do you
always try to take the lead?" He started yammering the minute he realized what I was planning to do. Actually, I just knew that if
it comes to saving Thiago's life, I will happily sacrifice myself.
"Look at you!" I can't even talk to you these days without pissing you off. Look! I understand my mother messed you over, but
how is it my fault? I had unknowingly helped you. "I did my part, so why am I getting this attitude?" I raised my voice, and when
the surrounding students looked at me, I calmed down.

He said nothing. His eyes were fixated on my face. I could tell he wanted to say something to me but was holding back.
"You stood here and kept glaring; I am leaving," I said after I was done persuading him every time we spoke. I would not let him
treat me like that anymore. Grabbing my bag, I got up and marched towards the exit. I could hear him follow me after some time,
but my brain was so badly occupied by different kinds of thoughts that I didn’t stop even when he called for me.
"Enyal” he finally raised his voice, coming my way once we hit the road.
"What?" I yelled, stepping back from him.
"You are not going to the academy?” He asked, and I let out a deep sigh to express my exhaustion.
"No" I answered, and a frown appeared on his forehead. I couldn't deal with it anymore.
