Chapter 219
Tasting All My Mates
219 My Mateâs Crazy Brother Maynardâs POV:
Things got extremely awkward when Zander told us Enya has accepted him. I can see how it went down. He manipulated her into accepting him by making Thiago look like the bad guy. I was just shocked that Enya made such a mistake. Then again, how can we ever trust someone wholeheartedly?
I was now left in the room with the growling twins. Christina was weirdly obsessed with controlling Zander and his actions.
I get that both of them were equally toxic to each other, but why?
âHow can you do this?â Christina shouted at her brother, who was comfortably sitting down in his bed after ruining Enyaâs perfect relationship. I hated this guy. There was something about him that always rubbed me the wrong way.
He was an opportunist. âI did nothing. You accepted a mate and so did I,â he shrugged his shoulders and opened the food bag to unwrap a burger and take a huge bite from it.
If I didnât know they were twins, Iâd have thought he was a jealous ex.
âThis is not about me. You know why I donât like you around her,â Christina yelled, shaking her head at him in disbelief.
âI know. You have told me that she has some superpowers. Isnât it amazing your brother has such a powerful mate now?â He winked at his sister to get on her nerves.
âYou will stay away from her. She is not the type to tolerate all the shit you make your girlfriends go through,â she shouted at him, trying to slap the burger out of his hands, but he dodged the hit and laughed as if they were playing.
âI am fucking serious,â Christina yelled, tears streaming down her eyes out of frustration âOf course, he wonât. He will not go near Enya,â I said as I deepened my stare at that asshole. If it was true that he loved making his girlfriend suffer, then he had better stay away from Enya.
I didnât take it too seriously back in the cabin when Christina told me her brother can coerce her into doing things she would usually not do. But now I could see the truth in her words.
âAnd why does it bother you?â Zander smirked, eyeing his sister to look at me.
âBecause Enya is a friend of mine. I will not let you use her as your â;âI was busy threatening him when Christina tapped her hands on my chest to cut me off.
âI am talking to him. You donât need to defend Enya,â she looked me in the eye, warning me to not say Enyaâs name again.
âChristina! I am not your brother who will become your lapdog. I can say her name because I donât have any wrong intentions toward her. I am just defending her and protecting her like a friend. Just because we rejected each other doesnât mean donât care about her. We have known each other for over a year now. I will not let your brother play her,â I warned her, just in case she had taken my silence wrong. The fact that she was ordering me to do things according to her demand fucked me over.
âReally?â she raised a brow, judging me with her quizzical stare.
âChristina! Thatâs it. You two figure it out alone. I am going to go search for Thiago now,â I said, watching her lips part and let out a sigh of disbelief.
I didnât want to be sitting in the corner and let them screw each other over because her brother cannot control his dick.
She didnât stop me either. As I walked out of the room, I found Enya crying in the hallway and Lazlo staring at her in silence.
âDo you guys know where is Thiago?â | inquired.
âHe is at a bar with Oswin,â Lazlo replied instead of Enya. I can only imagine how much pain she was feeling right at that moment.
It was unlike her to cheat on her mate. I know she probably thought it was over and she needed a shoulder to support her.
âThen what are we waiting for? Letâs go,â I announced, watching them exchange a look. It might be a little too hard for them to expect me to help them. I was actually angry at Christina for letting her brother play around with everybodyâs lives. I knew she couldnât force him to not do something, but if she just stops accusing Enya, it will be good.
It was pretty clear her brother wanted to control her life. She wasnât even nagging him for that. I was the only sane person for tonight, so I drove them to the bar myself.
Enya hadnât stopped crying, and neither of us could comfort her. Once we were in the bar, we spotted Thiago sitting across the counter, chugging drinks down like mad crazy âI donât know if he will listen to me,â Enya seemed to be afraid of approaching him. I shared a glance with Lazlo to ask him in eyes what was going on, and he shook his head in disappointment.
âShe is afraid he might reject her,â Lazlo spoke softly. Enya was hugging herself while we were talking about her.
âI will go check up on him then,â I declared since none of them could muster the courage to speak to Thiago. I reached Thiago and found Oswin staring at him innocently âHey,â I said, watching Thiago lower the glass and then roll his eyes at me. Well, he didnât like me because I cheated on Enya.
âOswin! Can you give us a moment?â I requested some alone time with Thiago. We were pretty close at some point during our stay at the academy.
I just got jealous of him and started picking up arguments with him. It was also because, after he began to keep himself away from me, I thought he was being arrogant.
âSure,â Oswin jumped off his chair as if he had been waiting for someone to come save him this whole time.
âEnya is here, isnât she?â Thiago didnât wait for me to settle down and asked me. It was romantic. He still sensed her scent.
âShe is,â I answered.
