Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

224–An Upcoming War

It‘s been a week since that messy incident, and I haven‘t received a text back from

Thiago. He left for his back and didn‘t return for an entire week. I tried

contacting him, but his cellphone was switched off.

He did inform the principal that he needed to sort out some

issues in his pack, but I found it to be a lie. No way, the timing was so perfect.

“I am so sick and tired of this Poppy.” I have just returned from school and couldn‘t be angrier at that gir

l. She had been on my back for no reason. Every time I pass her, she lets out a comment or two.

“What did she do this time?” Lazlo questioned, while setting his phone aside and taking off his jacket

“She keeps taunting me for hurting my mates. I guess when Thiago and Zander were in an altercation,

she heard Zander mention something. Now she is using that against me.” I let out a sigh of exhaustion.

“So, what is

the issue? She is like an ant to you. Do your magic and turn her into a frog,” Maynard commented, walk

ing out of the bathroom after taking a shower. I rolled my eyes and ignored him. He had been very chill

with me and I was still not in that zone yet.

“I will see what I can do with her,” Lazlo reassured me. He will take care of her.

“No! I can’t do that myself. I am only sparing her for Oswin,” I said as I sat down on the bed to rest a littl

e.

Zander and Christina barged inside with weird looks on their faces. It seemed like they had an argumen

t before coming to the room.

“Don‘t fucking do that,” Zander yelled at her when she slapped his

phone off the table as soon as he attached it to the charging cord.

“I told you to stop talking to that girl. I don‘t like her,” she yelled, expressing her exhaustion to him.

“I was just helping her, okay?” Zander retorted, rolling

his eyes at Christina. I had absolutely no idea what had been going on between the two, but ever since

Thiago beat him up in the woods, he hadn‘t tried to do anything with me.

“Christina!” Maynard yelled at her, shaking his head to stop her from controlling her brother. I have see

n Maynard act very strange whenever she tries to stop Zander from flirting with someone. It was odd to

me too. Why did she care who her brother talked to?

“Do you even know who he is flirting with?” Christina asked Maynard when she didn‘t approve of the lo

ok he gave her.

“That girl, Willow,” she finished. Lazlo and I shared a glance, and then a smile covered our lips.

“Hey! I

am not flirting with her, I was only helping her,” Zander acted a bit aggressively. He even gave me a gla

nce when his sister exposed him.

“I don‘t want her around you. You know what kind of girl she is, right? She had been sleeping with other

‘s mates. Don‘t you see she has a kink for taken mates? She ruined two relationships, don‘t fotget that,”

she was shouting when I cleared my throat to slide in a comment.

“Um! She didn‘t do it alone.

The mates were interested in her. If the guys can have a second chance, why can‘t she have one?” I sh

rugged, pissing her off. I wasn‘t going to leave her alone, either. She messed up my relationship

with Thiago. I will annoy her in return.

“It is between me and my brother,” she hissed, turning to look at her brother. I was about to pass anoth

er comment when a guard informed us that Mr. Tripper wanted to see us.

It was out of the blue, so we were all taken aback by the sudden emergency meeting.

“There has been some bad news that needed attention,” Mr. Tripper had gathered us all in the auditoriu

m to discuss something important with us.

We were all sitting in the front row because of the protocol the Alphas were bound to receive. Their lun

as were also sitting with them. Zander was somewhere with the others. However, the teachers were sitt

ing behind us.

“It has been brought to my attention that we have seen a rogue spying on our academy in the last few d

ays. It is no surprise that the

wild rogues only want to harm us. However, this one in particular has been seen working closely with th

e rogue king. What it appears to us is that they are planning something. It is highly requested to be car

eful and avoid any trouble,” Mr. Tripper broke down the deadly news to us. We were all silently watchin

g each other and preparing to leave when we heard some commotion outside the auditorium.

“Everybody! Wait here,” Mr. Tripper warned us, eyeing the Alphas to get up and take the lead. Maynard

, Lazio, and some other alphas got on their feet to rush toward the outside. I also got up from my seat,

worried about Lazlo.

“I think they should have taken you with them,” Christina whispered in my ear when nobody was watchi

ng

“Shut up!” I hissed, glaring at her for acting like a bitch in such a sensitive situation.

“I didn‘t mean to insult you. I mean it because you

are more powerful.” She stepped back while looking upset that I mistook her words.

“No! Seriously, shut up.” I repeated myself, “You cannot act like a bitch to me and

then pretend like everything is fine. You have been nothing but a pain in my ass. I want you to fuck off a

nd leave me alone.” I said to

her, despite some of the students watching us. She awkwardly looked around and then turned away fro m me.

“Oh, God!” One of the students who was peeping through the half–ajar door expressed exhaustion.

“They attacked one of us,” he added, and commotion hit the roof.

“Calm down everyone.” Mr. Tripper soon walked back with Lazlo and Maynard holding someone and ta

king him to the side door to make it to the nurse‘s room quickly. The

shortcut was going to come in handy. The moment Christina got on her chair to get a better look at who

had been attacked, she jumped off the chair and covered her mouth with her hands.

“Who is it?” I asked, feeling desperate.

“I am so sorry!” She

removed her hands from her mouth and made direct eye contact with me. I was stunned when I watche

d her face as she mouthed his name to me.

“No!” was all I could utter before I dropped onto the chair after losing my balance.
