Read Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee Chapter 233 – Lost In The Woods

It‘s been a day since Lazlo told me what he and Thiago had been talking about. I even saw call logs

between them. It was so weird that Thiago didn‘t even consider speaking to me once.

“Hey, drink some of this,” Lazlo said, stroking my arm up and down.

“We need to take her to the hospital.” Maynard and Christina arrived a few minutes after I had a full-

blown panic attack. I was afraid Thiago would reject me, and with how he had avoided me, could hear

a rejection coming from miles away. Every time I tried to sleep, I would get up in a panic and cry,

causing my heart to bleed.

“I took her to the hospital early morning to run some tests, but she refused to see a doctor later on,”

Lazlo said as he hugged me closer.

“You are not taking good care of her. You can see she is under some sort of stress. Taking her for tests

or rubbing her arm won‘t do her any good. Fucking take her outside, show her some magnificent

scenery, and plan a picnic. Make her feel better,” Zander commented while watching me from his bed.

Igroaned. “I don‘t need a picnic. I am fine.”

*“Enya! is there anything bothering you? Is it Thiago? Do you want me to go there and physically

drag him back here for you?” Maynard crouched down to reach my level and asked me what kind of

service I can ask from him.

“Babe! You cannot force someone into getting over something.” Christina definitely didn‘t like Maynard

worrying about my health.

“And there is no need to bring a mate who left her like that. She can rely on her new mate,” Zander

shrugged and pouted at the same time. Neither of the times did he look innocent.

“I think I will take her out for a walk,” Lazlo suggested, since it was getting too crowded for me to be in

the room. I found the idea more interesting.

“I will go wash my face and get ready,” I said, getting up from the bed and sauntering into the

bathroom. Once I was standing in front of the mirror, I stared at my image and my empty gray eyes. It

hurt my aching soul to think that Thiago didn‘t even bother to have a conversation with me about that

night.

‘I am not feeling well,‘ I whispered, wincing as my stomach formed a knot. ‘Nia?‘ I asked for her but she

didn‘t respond.

‘Nia! Are you there?‘ I asked her once again, and she remained silent.

‘You are kind of worrying me out,‘ I said, looking around and staring at the cabinet. Something just felt

off. I raised my hands to open the cabinet door with my magic, but nothing happened. It was as if my

blood had run cold in my veins.

“Maybe I don‘t have energy, that‘s why I convinced myself that I would be fine in some hours after I

took another few hours‘ rest.

I walked out of the bathroom and instead of going to a restaurant or a café, I just asked Lazlo to drive

me around. He took me on a long drive, hours of peace and silence, and then parked the car near the

woods when I fell asleep. I expressed my desire to stay in the car for some more hours and he

respected it.

It was just a random craving, but I really wanted to leave that academy for some time. I had fallen

asleep in Lazlo‘s arms and he, too, dozed off after humming for me.

“Please help me!”

“HELP ME!” I woke up to the same sound as a girl was distressed, calling for help. It shook me into

awareness, but Lazlo didn‘t budge.

‘Do you hear that voice?’ I inquired of Nia, expecting her to wake up now, but she didn‘t.

“Please Help me!” The same noise came again, and this time I was able to get a visual of a girl in the

distance. My heart skipped a beat when I watched a girl in a white dress wandering down the road at

this hour of the evening. The world had gone dark after the sun sailed away

The girl was walking in the direction of the woods, looking all possessed. The first thing that struck my

mind was the thought of the monster. What if he had hypnotized another poor soul?

It was crazy how we didn’t even remember the rogues and just slept right on the roadside. But – what

is crazier is that the girl headed into the woods all alone.

“Lazlo!” I whispered, shaking him to wake him up. “Lazlo! look, there is a girl headed to the woods,” I

said, my eyes fixated on the girl to make sure I didn‘t slip her out of my sight. Lazlo was a heavy

sleeper, so I had to give up and jump out of the car to prevent the girl from disappearing into the

woods. I was feeling much better, too.

Thurried behind the girl, still more steps to follow up with her when she finally entered the woods. I

cursed at myself for wasting time, but then kept following her.

“Hey!” I whispered to her, wishing she would wake up from whatever trance state she was swallowed

into.

“Oh goodness!” I was feeling goosebumps now that there were merely a few steps left to finally come

into contact with her. Once I was right behind her, I placed my hand on her shoulder to stop her steps.

She stopped!

“Hey, it is fine. I am here to help you. You need to wake up,” I was murmuring and looking around to be

attentive to the monster when she finally turned around.

My heart seemed to have dropped in my chest when I saw who it was. She didn‘t even look hypnotized

when she gave me a creepy smile.

“I don‘t need to wake up; I have been awake for decades,” Poppy had an eerie smile covering her lips

as she looked behind me and added, “Oh! Look what we got us,”

I turned around, dreading seeing whom she was talking to. And the first thing they did was hit me in the

head and knock me out.
