Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 69

69-The Deceitful Act*

I was now walking after Thiago, hoping I don’t get to see Mr. Tripper, who was supposed to arrive back after a few days’ break. Or should I say, after he lied to the principal about how special he was?

Thankfully, we weren’t bothered and soon we were in Thiago’s car and headed to my pack. My heart was doing all sorts of flips inside my chest. It wasn’t going to be easy for me to be in my pack and steal those files. We have decided to take pictures of the files if we have time so that nobody can suspect what files were stolen.

“I know you are nervous but don’t be. You are blessed with powers that can save you from doomsday,” he acknowledged my strength and power and it was truly the best thing ever.

I was still not used to hearing I am powerful. It felt like a dream to me. How can I be powerful out of so many people in the world?

“Okay! So you remember what we will do right?” he asked and I nodded my head, “Walk me through it again,” he said as he parked the car a little far away from the border.

This would be the sixth time that I was repeating the plan he had set out for me.

“I will distract the guards by causing damage to the tree over there and once they are out of our way, we will sneak in. I will umm— I will freeze the cameras and then burst the light out. After it all happens, we will hide behind the big table on the side outside the lockers. We will wait until my father leaves and then we will sneak in and lock ourselves inside While you take pictures of the files, I will cause a little shaky-I mean earthquake to the building. The moment you are done taking the pictures of the files, we will head out,” I finished and now it made me realize how messy the plan could be

What if we get caught?

We had too many obstacles and we were relying a lot on my powers that I didn’t even have any control of.

“Don’t worry! Everything will go fine,” he reassured me before getting out of the car. I followed after him and stared at the sky getting filled with dark red clouds. It looked velvety and scary.

Once we were hiding in the bushes, he held my hand to comfort me and prepare me for this act.

The only issue was that I still didn’t feel anything from his touch.

“Are you okay?” he asked once he noticed how silent I was. I had to shake my head and not drown in my thoughts to assure him I was fine. I was just a little concerned about my disappearing powers.

What if suddenly my powers disappear and I am stuck in that vault?

I was maybe stressing myself out too much because I haven’t done anything like that before.

“Okay! Now focus on that tree,” Thiago whispered in my ear, hunching over me from the back. I fixated my eyes on the tree and then confirmed my focus.

We can do this,’ Nia whispered too. I had my eyes only watching the tree and slowly, it felt like everything else started to disappear from the surroundings.

I was holding my breath in and channeling my anger. First, the smoke started to come out of that tree and my heart ached for the poor tree instantly.

It was an old tree hence I choose it but it still hurt me to burn it down.

Once the smoke spread around, the guards started to notice it. Very soon, the tree caught on fire. The commotion gathered the guards around the tree, giving us enough time to run past the border and make it inside the pack.

I bet they were thinking the lightning struck the tree but they had to put it out because there were other trees beside it and even their watch towers were near it too.

Growing up in the pack has given me an upper hand in the layout of the pack I knew where the cameras would be and how to avoid them. Thankfully, whenever Corbin used to pick me up after midnight, he would trick the cameras into not catching him out of the fear of his father. At least Corbin’s actions came in handy. We were able to make it to the building of Lord Shaun’s vault in the next few minutes. My heart was jumping up and down thinking about how I was going to get out of this mess tonight.

I had only one thought keeping me going. Tomorrow will come soon and this will all be over. I will be somewhere safe with my mate and enjoying the two day’s vacation in a motel with him.

69-The Deceitful Act

Once I have deactivated the cameras, l burst the power panel and it darkened the entire building. We were now hiding under the table right outside where the vault was.

I then thought of a plan and rolled out from under the table to do one more thing to buy us some surety nobody was coming to look for us.

“Where are you going?” Thiago whispered once we noticed I wasn’t following the plan. I ran over to the side and set the fire alarm. I was able to make it back under the table. I watched everybody leave the floor along with my father getting out of the huge room and running in the direction of the stairs.

Now that it was only the two of us, Thiago and I sneaked into the room to find a huge metallic vault. There were no padlocks on it but I knew how to crack it open.

“Time for some earthquake,” I mumbled, preparing myself as I closed my eyes and let out an un-identifying scream. Thiago had his ears covered and a piece of fast music playing from his phone to his headphones. The moment the vaults door opened, Thiago began to look for the files while I knelt down and continued the scream.

The vault was moving and so was the ground. I can only imagine the fear others were feeling. Call me desperate or selfish, but I was determined to find out everything Lord Shaun had on my parents.

This pack has given me nothing but harsh memories. From the people of the pack bullying me to the lord and the Alpha King abusing me, I have been through a lot in here.

| carried no mind to what they were dealing with at that moment. I guess losing one’s parents is a painful loss but to find out they might be killed is even more painful.

Thiago was busy taking pictures but I couldn’t focus too much on him. I had to make sure I don’t get distracted and keep screaming.

It was then I noticed that the roof was beginning to crack up a little and that’s when I started tapping my palms on the floor. I was also bleeding a lot from my nose now, which wasn’t a good sign.

“Okay, that is enough!” I heard Thiago gently hold my hand but something messed up. I wasn’t able to stop. It was maybe the fear of what I might see in those files that made my heart crumble like a cookie and my anger rise to the top that I couldn’t stop myself.

“Enya! Stop!” finally, as Thiago grasped both my hands and turned me around to him, I stopped. He cupped my face

instantly to make sure I look into his eyes and realize I am not alone.

It was at that moment that I felt it.

There was a lot of fear in his palms, fear of losing me and then the feeling changed,

All I felt was,

Deceit!

And that’s when I passed out.
