Chapter 385
Tasting All My Mates
385-Letâs Go Home Now.
She didnât tell me what she meant by that, and I couldnât ask her because we had reached the academy. The whole ambiance had changed. We were able to hear the screams even outside the academy. Lazio and I bolted towards the entrance and found everyone trying to fight to their best abilities.
I whistled, and the witches scattered around for some time. The students approached me after realizing I could help them.
I wasnât sure how long I could keep doing that.
We reached our floor and found everyone gathered in that same hallway.
Enter titleâ¦
âEnya!â the principal approached me with much hope in his eyes. âHelp us,â he said, and I gave him a faint nod.
âAre you okay?â Corbin pushed the principal aside to inquire about my wellbeing.
âI am fine. Maybe we can use some loud music to get them distracted. It seems like they are more sensitive to sound,â I advised, and everybody got to work gathering all the speakers they could find to adjust them on the floor below ours.
The moment they played the music, the witches slowed down, but it also started giving others headaches.
âWhat do we do now?â Lazio asked, standing beside me and helping the wounded students around.
âI donât know.â I shook my head. âI really have no idea what we can do,â I confessed.
âIt is okay. The witches have been informed.â Corbin had been sticking to us this whole time. I donât know if he felt guilty because he was the one who brought Moana in, or was he just trying to be a part of this mission of saving the world?
âWhy would they help us, Corbin? They hate us, remember?â I reminded him in a harsh tone. One could see the look I was giving him. He understood that I blamed him for letting that snake live with us and getting her hands on us.
âLook! I get it. I messed up. But I am trying to help. We would have never known what she was up to. She started acting crazy once she found out how beloved you are,â Corbin yammered, picking up the passed-out she-wolf to lay her down in one of the rooms while I rubbed her palms between my hands to warm her up.
âBeloved? I am everything but loved by anyone; I look around and see my own mates giving me these looks I canât decipher; every single day, I feel judged,â I muttered to him. Lazio walked out of the bottom after getting a wet towel to wrap around the girlâs bruised arm.
âI am soâryy!â Corbin mumbled, âI know the witches used to hate us. But after we let two of their students stay with us, they were open to any kind of friendship with us.â Corbin suggested, watching Lazio sneak a glance at us two.
âThe two students that ended up in a bad state? One of them was killed by us, and the other had gone nuts?â I scoffed at him for thinking anyone would come to help us.
âWe are pretty much on our own. You better stop hoping for anyone to come to help us,â I stated with much annoyance.
The witches had caused so much damage in such a short period of time.
âIs there nothing we can do?â Lazio asked after staying silent for a few minutes.
âIf only I had some books of spells, I would have suggested an idea. But so far, I have nothing to suggest,â I sighed as I let out a breath from my gaping mouth.
âI could have arranged something earlier, but the time is too short. I donât know if I can do anything about the spell books.â Corbin rubbed his hands on his face, getting distracted when his phone rang in his pocket.
âDad! I am fine.â He spoke to his father, looking agitated.
âI cannot leave. My mate is here,â He grunted when talking to his father. I could tell Lord Shaun wanted Corbin to get out of there and run for safety.
âShe will not come with me. You know she will stay here and fight till she is certain everybody is safe,â he told his father off when he suggested Corbin take me with him when running for his life.
âDad! I donât know what you are on about, but sending your warriors here is going to help us with nothing. Anâ wait! really? That we can arrange.â he looked hopeful and that gave me hope too.
As soon as he hung up, I looked at him with anticipation.
âIt is going to be a bit hard for you, but your mother used to have spell books. If we can sneak out and reach your home, we will be able to find some books there,â he told me about my mother possibly having answers with her. I stared at him in silence until I realized I had to do it. That could be the only way to defeat these witches.
I cannot whistle my lungs to bleed.
âOkay! Letâs go,â giving a nod to my head. I started walking towards the door but only stopped when I watched Lazio stall.
He couldnât come to the house where my mother used to sit and cast a spell on him.
âIt is okay. You can stay here. Just make sure they turn the music louder every few minutes. I will be back in an hour.â I told Lazio, who nodded at my idea while I left the room with Corbin.
I could have left alone, but I needed someone to remind me to not stand there and look at all the photo frames and get into depression when there is an entire world waiting for me to get rid of the white witches.
Corbin drove me around in his car, recklessly. I feared that I would even find anything useful there.
âWe should use our wolves to sprint,â I suggested when I calculated I will be faster If I use magic and wolf together to reach the academy than traveling by car.
