Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

70-The One Who Lied

I passed out at the wrong time. We feared if I used too much power I will pass out and that’s exactly what

happened. It was a very wrong place and time to lose my consciousness.

I didn’t even know what happened, did we get caught or did he leave me behind and run away to save

himself?

All my questions were answered when I woke up in my bed again. So we weren’t caught, but why was I

back in the academy?

Has it been three days already? Weren’t we supposed to stay at a motel for a little while? Nothing made

sense and the desperate part was that I woke up in the middle of the night when everybody was fast

asleep.

I had questions that needed to be answered and only Thiago could answer them, but where was he?!

pushed my body up and looked around the room. His bed was empty and there was nobody in the

bathroom. Lazlo and Maynard were sleeping in their beds.

‘Nia?’ I called for her just because I wanted somebody to be with me. It wasn’t like she would remember

anything because she passed out with me.

‘Are you alright? Tasked and she groaned, she was still tired from the exertion.

I don’t even know why we are back or how many days had gone by,’ I continued to express my concern

while covering my face in my hands.

‘What if Thiago got caught while saving me?’ my mind was going around in circles, worrying about what

might have happened there.

Check the date on your phone and let me rest,’ Nia grumpily voiced the best idea and I did just that.

Upon checking my phone, I was surprised to see the date.

It was the next day, which means we did all the stealing stuff and then came back after midnight, but

why?

And where was Thiago?

I started hitting him up on his phone but he wasn’t picking up any of my calls. I was lost and devastated. I

lied in the bed and eventually fell asleep again. I needed a lot of rest in order to recover the energy I lost

during that mission of ours.

I woke up to Lazlo and Maynard causing noises in the room I had to rub my eyes to open them up and

look at them.

“Sorry! Did we wake you up?” Lazlo spotted me and a smirk grew on the corner of his lips. I hated the

way he mocked

me.

“Spare her, or else she will pass out,” Maynard was still bitter or should I say, this is how he was going to

act around me now

it it

Rolling my eyes, I got out of the bed and took a shower to calm my aching muscles down. After I came

out of the bathroom, I finally saw Thiago rushing into the room.

It was like a sight of comfort seeing him. The doubts I had regarding him getting in trouble after last night

washed away.

“Thiago!” I smiled, ignoring Maynard and Lazlo, who were in the process of wearing shirts but also

noticing us.

“Hm?” Thiago voiced, not really looking at me.

“Good morning!” | greeted him, waiting for him to raise his face from his bag so that I can ask him in my

eyes about last night but he never did that. In fact, he straightened his back and exited the room.

That is weird!

| sprinted after him and caught up with him in the elevator. I bet he wasn’t expecting that because he let

out a sigh and shook his head.

“I am sorry I passed out last night.” I said in disbelief, after so inuch practice I still failed soniehow, “But

you got the pictures right?” I asked him, turning in his direction but he seemed blunt and blank.

“Thiago! How did we escape last night?” I questioned, feeling a little uneasy about his silence.

“I carried you here,” he finally responded but then got off the elevator like he was in a hurry.

“That must be a real workout,” I joked, running along to match my pace with him.

“Thiago! Did you take the pictures, I want to see them,” I was getting anxious about his silence and what

might be in those pictures?

“Thiago! What is the fucking matter with you?” Once he didn’t stop walking ahead of me and we crossed

the exit, I yelled at him.

This attitude of his was like a hidden volcano, it would appear anytime it wants.

He stopped on his way to the car and turned around to part his lips and heave a sigh.

“I d–idn’t find the files,” the way he said it almost felt like he was not fooling me but himself.

“What? you didn’t find the files? But I saw you taking pictures of something.” I reached him a bit annoyed

with what I was hearing

“Well, you saw it wrong. You were too busy using your powers, how would you know what was

happening around?” he shrugged his shoulders and tried walking away from me.

“No! wait a minute. I know what I saw. You were busy taking pictures. Tell me what is going on? is the

information in the pictures is so bad that you are thinking keeping it a secret will be good for me?” I was

literally over here giving him an excuse for his behavior and lies but he shook his head to me.

“I don’t know what you are talking about,” he stepped back but the cold look on his face reminded me of

his behavior toward me when he found out I was from Alpha King’s pack.

“There is something going on with you and I want to know what it is? We planned all this and then we

went there and you took the pictures, but now you are refusing to show them to me! Is this some kind of

a weird prank because if it is, it is pissing me off,” I remained calm but my heart rate was speeding up.

“Enya! Go back to your room, you need rest,” he coldly advised and made another attempt to run into his

car when! rushed past him and closed the door and startled him, “what the heck are you doing?” he

complained.

“You tell me what is going on with you? Why are you hiding those pictures from me?” I yelled as the

desperation hit my nerves

“I didn’t take any pictures. I told you, you wouldn’t know because you passed out,” the surety and

confidence in his tone reminded me of something.

I felt his hands that time and there was deceit that I felt.

“You knew I would pass out, didn’t you?” it then struck me. He never made me practice all my powers at

once. He knew by the end of the night; I will be tired enough to pass out.

“You wanted me to pass out,” my lips uttered those words in gasps but it was the smirk that formed on

the corner of his lips that took me by surprise.

He played me, he fucking played me but for what?
