Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

278  Let’s Steal Her Shine 

Author’s POV: Years Ago: 

“When are we heading out again?” Emelia asked Hazel. It‘s been three days since they had an encounter with the Alpha King, and Emelia couldn‘t shut up about how good he tasted. 

“Weren‘t you the one who was scared of the idea of leaving?” Hazel secretly rolled her eyes at Emelia, kneading the dough as they would in the kitchen to prepare food for the entire coven of witches. 

“I was until I met him. He was so fine.” Emelia remembered how good–looking and charming her Shaun was, and it made her smile. 

“You shouldn‘t forget that you cannot have sex before the granting ritual.” Hazel shrugged her shoulders as she looked exhausted with Emelia. She didn‘t get how a charming and handsome boy like Shaun could fall for a mess like Emelia. 

“Don‘t worry, I am not losing my virginity any time soon. Besides, we are both so young right now. He turned 16 the previous month, and I will turn 16 in a few days.” Emelia was still flying high from the kiss she shared with him. 

“You know, I used to get it a lot from everyone. They would all make fun of me for not having been kissed already. I can now say! am happy I shared my first time with someone as special as the Alpha King.” The more Emelia talked, the angrier Hazel became. 

“Well, you have been talking about him ever since we returned. Have you even thought about the granting ritual? What dress are we going to wear and who will be the leader among the two of us?” Hazel couldn‘t help but be accepted as the leader of the new 

group. That would mean a defeat to Emelia.
