488-A Perfect Time To Reject Some..
‘Maybe we can wait a minute,” I murmured, watching everyone look my way.
‘We don’t have time, though. Every minute is important now,” Maynard argued, refusing
to waste another minute. I truly felt like Lazio needed to talk to Valerie. She shouldn’t be
under so much stress.
I need to speak to Lazio first,” I said, watching everyone look at him. He pointed his
finger to his chest to confirm and then gulped loudly. I know he knew what it was about.
It was a long awaited conversation that we needed to take care of.
I wouldn’t want him to linger around, thinking he had a chance, and lose a chance at a
better life with his fated mate and his baby.
*We will wait by the car,” Theo said, tapping Maynard’s shoulder to drag him out of his
thoughts. As everybody started walking away, I realized Lazio’s muscles tensed up.
‘So, this is it?” he asked, letting out a little painful grunt.
‘1 just want to know if I had treated you right in these two years, would you have stayed
with me after Theo had come back?” He asked me, watching my face with hope.
Those few minutes were all I had to think of-an answer that would push him away from
me.
‘And please don’t lie. I don’t want to live with another lie.” He remembered how they
thought I was their curse.
‘Lazio! Valerie cares about you,* I said, dodging his question.
I am not talking about her right now. I want to know if you still care.” Lazio insisted on
knowing, but not decreasing, the distance between us.
‘Ah!” I exhaled and then nodded to myself, encouraging myself for this conversation.
‘Even if I had stayed with you, I would have wanted to be with Theo as well, because
that’s what the deal was in the beginning. You need to understand something. I would
never be exclusive to you only, Lazio. I would have never rejected Theo after he came
back. He was always the one to whom my heart felt inclined. As for you, you want
exclusivity, the way I feel about Theo. Valerie is the only mate who can give you all the
love and attention that you want and deserve. The way you are suffering and are
devastated to be with me is the same way she feels about you.” I started talking, and he
instantly lowered his head.
He wanted me to reject Theo over a scenario that never happened. Why would I stroke
his ego and tell him I would have left Theo when I cannot even think about staying with
Lazio anymore? But at least he heard it from me.
“You are given a chance to live a perfect life with your mate, and you are blowing it up.
And it is not even like you never liked her. You were in love with her, Lazio, until you
found out you were going to lose me. If Theo hadn’t arrived, I doubt you would have
realized how you had hurt me. You just couldn’t watch me be with someone else. You felt
like you deserved me as a trophy because my mother ruined your life. That part of our
lives is over now, and instead of moving on and accepting your fate, you are once again
making a mistake. She is carrying your baby, and you are losing yourself over someone
who isn’t even going to pick you anymore.” I told him in clear words that I intended to
reject him.
‘Do you not want to have a happy life and a beautiful family with her?” I asked him,
watching him slowly raise his head, his eyes welling up.
I wish I had that chance with someone else, but I hear you. I liked her a lot, but I guess I
never loved her,” he admitted, “but I wouldn’t want to lose my baby.” He then confessed.
’Prior to Theo coming back, I was excited about my mating ceremony with Valerie. And
now I have said so much to her, and she has heard so much from me, that I don’t even
think she will ever believe when I tell her that I like her or that I love her,” he sighednovelbin
defeatedly, understanding his mistakes.
But if you talk to her now, she will understand. She is over there all alone, starving
herself, and you are — you didn’t even go to speak to her. Lazio! These few months of
pregnancy are important for any woman. Don’t let her spend these in pain and agony,” I
requested him and watched him nod his head.
‘What about you?” He then suddenly asked, “Are you never going to speak to me
again?” The fondness in his eyes in the form of tears made me feel bad for him.
‘Maybe things will go back to normal soon. But you will have to earn my friendship,” I
said, and he nodded hard.
‘Hm! Well, I got demoted!’ He joked, but a tear leaving his eye told me that’s exactly how
he was feeling in the moment.
‘Well, it is time then,” he said.
I, Enya Fosters, reject you as my mate,” I mumbled, feeling all the memories from years
ago rush back to me.
He closed his eyes and grunted, feeling the pain of rejection right through his heart,
before he straightened his posture and looked back at me sadly.
I, the unlucky alpha in the world, accept your rejection,” he finished in tears. I didn’t feel
any pain because I didn’t have my wolf at the moment, but I felt the bond breaking inside
me.
Now go and speak to her. I am sure we can wait another fifteen minutes while you feed
her with your own hands,” I forced a smile onto my lips as I still didn’t know how I will
forgive him entirely. He rushed past me, and soon he disappeared into her room. I
started making my way to the exit when I heard them talk from inside the room.
I am sorry!” Lazio told her. “Just because I loved her doesn’t mean I hated you. I justhad moreconnection with her than you,” he said, talking to her while holding her hands.
’I am happy you are back. I am sure we can connect well and soon, we will be the
happiest,” she started tearing up. He pulled her over to his chest and hugged her tightly.
I am sure we will. And I promise to fix things and mend your broken heart. I promise to make thispregnancy the best experience for you.”
I smiled as I heard him make things right with her
