Tasting All My Mates

254-Killed My Brother

We walked out of the woods in defeat. Thiago must be worried about one of my mates not being able to mark me, but I somewhat felt at ease.

The moment I hit the road, I found Lazlo and Zander arguing about something. I thought they would be done by now. But it wasn‘t until I saw Maynard and Christina that I realized what was going on. Zander wasn‘t arguing with Lazlo this time. Lazlo was holding him back from at tacking Maynard.

“You cannot interrupt me. I need to know it from his mouth.” Christina yelled at her brother for stopping her from talking to her mate.

“He is a fucking murderer and a rapist. I don‘t understand why you desperately want to give him a chance,” Zander yelled as he freed himself from Lazlo‘s grasp.

“Because that‘s the right thing to do. I need to know his side of the story,” she screamed at her brother in tears. I never really thought she was this much in love with Maynard.

Maynard closed his eyes and sighed. He stared at me as he opened them again.

“And what makes you think he has a side?” Zander scoffed, taunting Maynard for staying silent for so long.

“Everybody has a side,” Christina stopped screaming and murmured, a stream of tears drenching her cheeks..

“And they tell their side. They don‘t run away from it.” Zander, who was already angry about not being able to mark me, yelled back at his sister.

She defended Maynard once again. I was watch ing Maynard look at the ground and not say anything
