Tasting All My Mates

269–The Lost Siblings

Enya‘s POV:

“I don‘t want to talk about it here.” I eyed Lazlo for choosing the wrong time and place to discuss it.

“I was not going to talk about it but I was—” Lazlo turned his face to the other side sadly.

“I cannot deal with this. Christina needs me. I need to be there for her.” Maynard was shocked when Lazlo found out about that one minor mistake.

“I think we have far bigger issues in our hands than talking about something that isn‘t even our business to discuss,” Thiago returned to acting causally. One would think I should be happy that he trusts me, or maybe he doesn‘t even care anymore. But it just upsets me. It was as if Thiago didn‘t care who I ended up with anymore.

Nobody spoke about it again. Zander slept upstairs, Maynard and Christina shared a mattress, while others slept on their own mattresses. I slept on the couch. This weekend away from trouble didn‘t go as we planned.

We returned to the academy after Zander expressed his wish to leave the cabin. He kept accusing us of everything because we suggested the cabin.

He hadn‘t made any snarky jokes or flirtatious remarks to me either. I assumed he believed we did it so that he could never talk about ever marking me again.

“Why is it that every time we want to have some fun we end up in trouble?” Lazlo jumped into his bed and complained, but Thiago ignored him.

“Are you alright, babe?” Maynard grabbed Christina‘s bag and helped her unpack. She gave him the faintest nod and then sat down in his bed.

“He doesn‘t even want to talk to me. What did I do?” She was complaining to Maynard about her brother not wanting to speak to anyone, not even her.

“A werewolf‘s canines are just like a man‘s dick. They hold a lot of importance. Anyway, he will come around sometime. It will take him a month or two to grow them back.” Maynard was helping her with her stuff and comforting her simultaneously. I had been getting messages from Oswin asking me to meet him in the hallway.
