Tasting All My Mates

Tasting All My Mates By Alexis Dee Chapter 395

395-Sometimes Sweet, Mostly Bitter?

“What did you say?” Corbin shook his head as if he was not sure if he heard me

correctly, but then he placed a hand on his chest as he felt the mate bond

shaking.

“You rejected me?” he grimaced, tilting his head and fixing an angry glare on my

face. I was hesitant and afraid of his reaction, but then the counselors started to

walk out after sorting out everything for the night. I felt like it was my chance to

leave.

Enter title…

“Alpha King Corbin. I know you must be hurting, but justice is what we cannot

look away from,” the old man started having a word with him while he looked

distracted. I could tell he was thinking of a million ways to kill the old man who

was stopping him from coming after me.

I sprinted out of there and reached the bus stop in a few minutes. I was out of

breath, panting, and breathing with difficulty. The instant the bus arrived, I

climbed into it. It was odd that Lazio didn’t come to pick me up.

“Ah!” I sighed, holding a hand to my chest, and felt miserable. I hated it. I was

not used to this life. Even when I didn’t have my powers, I used to fight and take

a stand for myself. I knew back then that somehow I would survive, but it was

completely different this time. If anything attacks me, I will not heal.

Thankfully, Corbin didn’t follow me, or maybe he lost my scent. I almost tripped

when getting off the bus. I had a lot planned for the next day. Now that the trial

has ended, I could join the office with Lazio as his secretary, just like he had

suggested.

I figured it would be a good way to keep myself motivated and keep going, even

when life seems so boring now.

Walking my way into the pack, I finally arrived at the mansion- my mansion. The

home that I shared with my husband, Lazio.

“I am home!” I voiced, stepping inside and taking off my shoes at the entrance

because they were all muddy. It had been raining for the past few days, so

everywhere was just muddy and wet.

I walked into the dining room to find Lazio sitting in the dark with all the food

displayed before him.

“What is it?” I asked, looking around at the cold food and burned-out candles.

“You forgot?” He sighed, leaning back against the chair and deepening the stare

with me.

“I forgot wh—, Oh!” I slapped my forehead, feeling like a fool for not

remembering that he had told me he was going to prepare a dinner for me to

celebrate the victory.

“I didn’t forget. I stayed for his punishment,” I answered, pulling a chair out to sit

and eat with him.

“It is all cold,” he said in a rough tone. “Why did you stay? You wanted justice;

you got it. Why stay for such violence?” He said this as he rose from his chair,

filling my plate only to take it away and warm the food for me.

“I wanted to see him suffer. I bet Thiago suffered more even if

he couldn’t remember the whole thing,” I said, accepting the plate back and

starting to eat.

“Okay! Now that it is all over, can we forget about it? I want us to start living

happily now. Enya! We are not those teens anymore who used to walk around

and do anything they wanted. We are taking care of my pack and even the

office. I want us to work like a couple, like two partners in crime,” he smiled

when touching my hand. I had to force a smile and make it look like I

understood. It was just that things were not at all sweet between us. I don’t

know how he managed to convince himself to cook for me tonight, but he hadn’t

done that in two years.

“You are right. You will not hear a single complaint from my side.” I smiled and

started eating, “Mumm! This is delicious,” I said.

“Thank you. I spent the entire day preparing it. Even messed up a few times.”

He took the compliment with a smile and then cleared his throat to say, “You are

coming with me to the office tomorrow, right?” He reminded me of our deal.

I have asked him to give me some time before I join the office. I wanted to focus

entirely on this trial.

“Yes. But Lazio! I have something else to tell you,” I whispered, like I was guilty

of something. What happened between Corbin and me needed to be discussed.

“What happened?” he asked, focusing on the food most of the time.

“Corbin came to me. He wanted to talk about taking me to his pack.” I delivered

only the bare minimum of the chat to him and watched his mood get ruined.

“Hm! When is he going to quit? He is so clingy,” he shook his head in disbelief.

“I think he would stop eventually now that I have—,” I passed when Lazio raised

his head to look at me.

“You have done what?” he asked, looking curious.

“He made me so angry that I — I rejected him,” I said with a sigh heaving

across my lips. Lazio sat in silence for a minute before he slammed his spoon

on the table and his napkin on his plate.

“What have I told you about not making decisions out of anger? Don’t you know

today was the worst day for him? He was looking for someone to get his angernovelbin

out on, and you gave him the exact reason. Now tell me, do you really expect

him to sit silently and accept the rejection? He is going to fucking come to our

pack and take away whatever I have built. What were you thinking, Enya? why

didn’t you just walk away from him?” Lazio yelled, gearing up on his feet,

hunching on the table, and slamming his hand so hard on the table that all the

dishes jumped and sat back.

I couldn’t even react at that moment. My lips quivered as my eyes watched him

stare at my face with nothing but anger.

When did he change so much?
