Chapter 238
Tasting All My Mates By Alexis Dee Chapter 238
238–The Prophecy Comes True!
It‘s been a few minutes since Billy left to collect Maynard. I saw a few others going after him to probably drug him before bringing him here. Otherwise, it wouldn‘t be easy for an Omega like Billy to control an Alpha.
As everybody got up from their seats and started wailing, I reckoned they had brought Maynard here. My heart was pounding in my chest and creeps were running up and down my spine. The crying was terrifying to me.
Soon, they dragged Maynard into the middle of the crowd. He was badly drugged and beaten up. I am assuming they beat him up after they were able to induce wolfbane in his body.
“Maynard!” I cried for him, getting worried as he was bleeding heavily. He raised his face with difficulty, and after making eye contact with me, he lowered it again.
“Ah!” Marcellus came out of one of the houses and exclaimed in relief, “I have craved this moment for years now. Right before our eyes is the man who raped and killed our beloved Olivia. He deserves every bit of punishment he can get.” Marcellus added as he pointed at Maynard.
“Leave him alone,” I shouted, and this unsettled many. They shared glances and then looked my way to judge me.
“Let him be? Even after what he did to our sister?” Poppy yelled, kicking Maynard in the face.
“Fuck off,” I shouted at her, trying to get my hands free in anger. I would rather let Maynard speak from his side and then call him a culprit. Or maybe I was just not ready to admit I loved and accepted someone as horrible as Maynard.
The gang started cussing at me for taking Maynard‘s side. It was Marcellus who had to grunt in order to silence them.
“It is fine. You all need to calm down. You don‘t need her sympathy or her side. She will have to do what we say anyway.” Marcellus smirked when his eyes fell on me. I got the hint.
“Tie him up next to her tree,” he then ordered his men, and they bowed down to his wishes. They tied Maynard next to me and walked away to celebrate this moment.
“Tonight is the night where we get justice,” Billy jumped on the wooden table and cheered the crowd, offering booze and dancing around. They were all excited about the execution of Maynard.
They were playing music and danced with each other. Marcellus had once again left for his room to rest before he got the best sight of his life. Poppy was drinking heavily while sitting alone in the corner. I bet she knew once this was all over, she would lose Oswin forever. But she has already picked a side, so it is not like she can go back in time and stop them from hurting Oswin.
“I hope they didn‘t lay a finger on you,” Maynard whispered, his face buried and his eyes hiding from mine.
“They haven‘t yet,” I replied. “They just hurt me with their words,” I said, as | remembered what they told me about him.
“Eh!” I heard Maynard chuckling softly, “these assholes.” He spat the blood to the side and raised his face to rest his head back against the tree.
“They told me why they brought you here,” I said, noticing his expressions and trying to learn as much as I could about him.
“Hm! And they must have told you I am this scumbag, who raped and killed Olivia?” He bobbed his head while acknowledging he knew about the accusations all along.
“Why did you tell me she stole the weapons?” I inquired out of desperation.
“Because she did,” Maynard said.
“And the claims they are making?” I asked, getting curious about who was telling the truth.
“Look me in the eye and tell me if you think I am capable of something that horrendous?” He turned his face to me and I instantly stole his eyes.
“You cannot because I hurt you too.” He let out a little laugh while hiding the tears in his eyes.
“Olivia was raped and killed,” he admitted out of the blue. My heart sank in my chest and I finally turned to make eye contact with him. There were tears streaming down his eyes as he stared at the sky after looking away from me.
“How could you do something so disgusting to an innocent girl?” I was badly shaken when hearing his words.
“She wasn‘t innocent,” he answered, and a wave of disgust ran through my body. It took me a minute to pull myself together and confirm that he really said that.
“It doesn‘t matter what she was and what she wasn‘t. You committed a crime and then acted as if nothing happened? Is that why you were sent to the academy?” I was breathing profusely and crying for ever dating this man.
“All this time, I thought you were just an asshole. I didn‘t know you were this messed up in your head,” I was increasingly getting frustrated with him and his mild scoffing was not helping me.
“Think what you want to think. You are not getting another word out of me.” He stubbornly looked away from me and pretended to take a nap.
I was furious!
Betrayed!
“I am trapped here because of you, Maynard.” I groaned, continuing to talk. “I am here because they think we are mates.”
“What are they asking of you?” he asked, opening his eyes again and staring at me.
“They want me to kill you,” I said again, and he only clicked his tongue.
“Ah! That prophecy,” he nodded to himself, “So, are you?” he asked, making me frown at him.
“Are you going to kill me?” he asked as he smiled and stared me in the eye. I don‘t know what was wrong with him, but this new him was just gross.
Instead of answering him, I turned my face to the other side and swallowed the tears of anger and rage.
“Tell me, are you going to kill me?” he proceeded to ask me, paying full attention to me
this time.
“I will,” I responded, determinedly.
