Tasting All My Mates By Alexis Dee Chapter 248

248-It Is Not What It Seems like

Enya’s POV:

I don‘t know how things went between us. That conversation seemed good enough. But the tensionwas not over yet. It was just hard to explain what was keeping us apart.

I could tell what was stopping me from touching him. It was the fact that I had gone behind his backand done everything he never liked. I even started a physical relationship with Lazlo while Thiago wassuffering and dealing with the betrayal. I couldn‘t bring myself to touch him and claim him as mineanymore.

“There is something Poppy said that I cannot get out of my head,” I whispered my worries out of my lipsonce there was nothing else to say about us at the moment.

“You know you can share your worries with me, right?” he stated, carrying a comforting smile on hislips. “What did she say?” he asked.

“She mentioned Oswin as my—–brother and it wasn‘t some metaphor.” My heart ached when I recalledher words. It would be so sad if there was a little truth in it and I didn‘t even know it all along.

“What? That is—does that mean he is also a hybrid?” Thiago sat down in his bed and rubbed histemples to focus on the subject at hand.

“I don‘t know. It can be possible because he used to go into the woods and bring back stuff that is notusually easy to get. But why was I never told I had a brother and what happened to him? Why wasn‘the around?” I was going crazy thinking about it, and the only thing I could remember was Oswin callingme his little sister once.

“Do you want to go talk to him?” Thiago then released his face from his hands to suggest I shouldcheck up on Oswin.

“I don‘t know how to face him. I am not even sure if he knows about Poppy.” | whispered in a defeatedtone. She had been his only friend, or should I say, he thought

she was.

“I am not sure why you two don‘t remember if you were ever siblings unless you were separated whenyou were little, but I do think he will remember this time if you aren‘t around to show support to him. Heis alone and probably wants someone to be there for him.” Thiago was right. I can not leave him alonein this condition.

“Are you going to come with me?” I asked, hoping he would join me. I now have many mates, butThiago always gave me comfort and let me deal with things my way without judging me.

“I wish I could,” he uttered as he got on his feet. “I think it will be too soon and inappropriate for me totell him, hey! I killed Poppy. But I will be waiting for you outside the room.” He then promised as hegestured at the door.

“Now? You want me to go now?” I questioned while rolling my eyes. The little smirk on his lips whenwatching me act like that was adorable. I could tell he loved the annoying version of me.

“Yeah! Don‘t let him cope with it alone,” he uttered and almost bent over to grab my hand, but thendidn‘t touch me. Every time we made a move and backed down, it left us in an awkward position.

“Okay. Let me grab my phone.” I picked up my phone and left the room with him Neither Zander norLazlo was around, so I didn‘t have to worry about the quizzical stares.

I walked downstairs and to the first floor to see Oswin, who was still in the guestroom. He had alreadyrecovered but was put in the room to make sure he was in good mental health before they releasedhim.

I entered the room to replace him lying on the bed. His face turned to the side from where he could lookoutside the window.

“Oswin!” I whispered. My voice was able to drag him back to reality. He instantly shifted to see me andsat up with tears flowing down his eyes. I rushed over and sat beside him

“She is gone,” he was sobbing when he hugged me to cry on my shoulder. He has been the biggestsupport system for me ever since I joined this academy. I was glad Thiago convinced me to come heresooner.

“Everything will go back to normal before you know it,” I whispered, patting his back. But that didn‘tsatisfy him. He broke the hug and stared me in the eye.

When the rogues attacked him, they left a lot of injuries on his head. We had told an elaborate lie to thecounselors about us getting ambushed by the rogues one morning and then, to save ourselves, we hadto kill them.

Where the academy was extremely happy and relieved, I forgot Oswin would look at it

differently

“How? How could he kill her?” His eyes held anger and resentment for Thiago. The problem was thatthey didn‘t tell him how Poppy died or what she was doing, but they did tell him who killed her.

“I understand your feelings, but she was a skinwalker. If Thiago hadn‘t killed her, she would have killedthe others.” I was not comfortable telling him the entire truth of how she killed my baby because we

kept my involvement hidden from the school and the counselors.

“Then he could have taken her out. Skinwalker or not, she was brainwashed.” For someone who didn‘tknow the entire truth and how evil his mate was, he was obviously sad for her.

“You just get better and then I wi–” I wasn‘t going to tell him the entire truth here in this room. Therewas a camera pointing at us. Mr. Tripper was watching us.

“Don‘t tell me you forgave Thiago for hurting Poppy.” It was then he steadily pulled away from me.

“– let‘s talk about it lat–,” I hesitantly shook my head, not knowing how to deal with this situation.

“Can I be left alone for now?” he requested as he lied down again and refused to look my way. Icouldn‘t even tell him anything about us being siblings.

“Sur–,” I murmured in tears.

“Wait!” he then called for me out of the blue.

“Thank you for coming here,” his eyes told the truth. I walked back to his bed and gently caressed hischeek.

“I am always here for you.” As I said that, he got up and hugged me. The fact that he had always seenme as his sister was just a sign that either he knew or he felt the connection. The door suddenlyopened, and I heard someone let out a scoff.

As we broke the hug, I watched Lazlo glaring at us and then muttering,

“I am sorry! I guess I intervened at the wrong time,”
