Tasting All My Mates

229–One Horny Night

Mc Tripper wouldn‘t let me argue with him and dismissed us after he received a call from the principal. I couldn‘t stand there and talk to the walls, so I left his office.

“Poppy! You are one snarky bitch,” | grabbed her hand when she tried to flee the scene. “Isn‘t it weird that the only person who doesn‘t care about Oswin is his own mate?” I was looking straight through her eyes, but she had gone silent after Mr. Tripper‘s announcement.

“You want to talk about coincidence? You took me into the woods, and the rogues attacked him. Now that is a very suspicious coincidence,” I muttered, making her lower her eyes in my presence. I hated how she had shut down after hearing I would be the new Luna Queen. I didn‘t want that title or the crown.

I had to let her go since she kept her silence. Her sudden change in behavior annoyed me. I was furious at Mr. Tripper and that bastard, Corbin. I can only imagine why he did that. And I have only a few months left before my punishment is over and I am sent back to my pack. I remember the threats he had made toward me previously.

That night was going to be hard to pass. Everybody has fallen asleep except for Lazlo and me. I was in my bed staring at the roof, whilst he was just scrolling through his phone.

Things have been awkward between us since the Thiago incident. I do believe Lazlo had many expectations when we made out. I was beginning to fall asleep when I heard him jump out of the bed and sneakily reach for the door. He must have thought I had dozed off. He walked out of the room, and I tiptoed after him.

It was unlike him to leave the room in the middle of the night. That was usually Thiago and Maynard‘s specialty. I found him walking to the rooftop with something in his hand. I followed him to the rooftop and found him lighting up a cigarette. He quit smoking a long time ago. The stress might have forced him to smoke again.

“Hey!” Instead of just walking on him with a quizzical look on my face, I pretended to be not shocked by seeing a cigarette in his hands.
