Tasting All My Mates

222–On A Break!*

We ran to the woods in search of the two like crazy. It was a mess caused by Christina, and she was the one sobbing nonstop. If she hadn‘t had so many issues with me, this wouldn‘t have happened. She only told Thiago those things to make me look evil and that I needed to jeopardize her brother‘s

life.

We were looking around in the dark to spot any one of them. But it seems impossible now. There was only one option left, so I took the chance.

“Thiago! Show me where you are.” I closed my eyes and raised my hands to spot him. The trees began to bend in one direction. Everybody gasped as they started following the route with me.

“What the fuck!” Oswin was grunting in confusion, but didn‘t say a lot. After some time, I stopped using magic because I had already heard them grunt and howl at each other. The panting and growling made my heart sink in my chest.

We reached the river and found them wounded. Thiago was sitting on top of Zander after he caught him and was punching him repeatedly.

“Hey! Let go of my brother,” Christina yelled, rushing to save her brother. Thiago turned to her, and we all yelped in shock. His eyes were burning red and his frown was prominent. It was almost like his Lycan was taking over him.

“Let him go.” Christina didn’t care about the threat and reached for him to grab his arm and pull him away. He did leave his brother, but only to get up on his feet and grasp Christina by her hair.

“NO!” Maynard shouted, sprinting to free Christina. Thiago smacked her face against the tree‘s trunk, and blood splattered everywhere.

“Shit!” Lazlo‘s terrified tone shook me awake.

Maynard approached Thiago but got swept to the side when Thiago hit him. He was out of control now. I knew I had to do something before it ended up with somebody dying. Thiago will never forgive himself if he accidentally kills someone. I walked in his direction and grabbed his arm when he was about to hit Christian again. She had passed out at this point.
