Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 379

379-The Forged Mate Bond

Author's POV:

Years Ago:

"What?" Hazel smiled nervously.

"I want you to create a mate bond between my son Corbin and your daughter Enya," he repeated himself, just in case she didn' t understand him the first time. But she did understand him. She had it down pat.

"Oh! You want my daughter to be mates with your son?" She asked again, this time more loudly so that her husband could hear her. When she told her husband that all the buttering and evil deeds for the alpha king had worked, she had a slightly brighter smile on her lips.

"Yes! I’m curious when you’ll begin casting the spell." Shaun asked, and Hazel took a few seconds to pause to smile to herself. Alaric didn't look too impressed, but Hazel thought it might be because he was in shock.

"How about tomorrow?" Hazel asked excitedly and couldn’t stop smiling.

"Tomorrow it is," Shaun said, hanging up the phone after getting the answer he wanted from her. It was as if he had given her the best news. She turned to Alaric and smiled again, waiting for his response.

"What was it all about? He wants you to create a what?" Alaric shook his head, still in shock that this had happened.

"You heard it right. He wants to make my daughter a Luna queen." She held his hand tightly and squeezed it while happily telling him about the good news.

"Hazel! Have you lost your mind?" Alaric slapped her hand away and yelled even louder than before.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? You are not happy for your daughter?" Hazel screamed at him after dealing with his judgmental glares for the past few days.

"He doesn't care about our daughter. He wants a witch by his son's side. He wants you to create a bond to tie an omega to an alpha king, which he will exploit to the fullest," he yelled as he got off the couch.

Hazel still didn't understand what was wrong with Enya helping Corbin once they became mates.

"I feared something like this would happen." As Alaric walked back and forth anxiously, Hazel felt like he was hiding something from her.

"What do you mean? Tell me what is wrong?" she asked, and Alaric finally decided to open up.

"Shaun killed his mate after she gave birth to Corbin," he whispered to Hazel, whose eyes widened at the shocking revelation.

"He only wanted a wife who gave him a son, and then he got rid of her. You know what is messed up? Corbin is supposed to be just like his father. When he was born, many seers told him his son would grow up even messed up because his father was a cold-hearted bastard. Shaun killed all those seers so that the truth remains hidden. Many people still heard about it, but nobody said a word because they were afraid of him. Do you have any idea what will happen to our daughter once Corbin is done with her? He is going to be worse than his father," Alaric yammered as he felt guilty for not telling Hazel sooner about Shaun and Corbin's messed up wolves.

"Oh, God!" Hazel covered her mouth with her hands as terror struck her.

"How can he knowingly put my daughter in such danger?" In tears, Hazel inquired.

"You really have to ask why? Hazel! He doesn’t care about anything. Look what we did to the other kids. Why would anyone care about our kid now?" Alaric sat down on his knees before her and held her hands. "Now you see what I was afraid of? This man is an animal, and his son will turn out to be the worst. Shaun's arrogance is going to make Corbin grow up, even mess up. Our daughter doesn't have to deal with all this madness," Alaric told her, and she softly cried in his hands.

"What have I done? I should have known all magic comes with a price," she sniffled as she realized karma had found its way to her home.

"What do we do now? He will be expecting me to cast the spell tomorrow. We only have today," Hazel asked her mate, panicking now that she was left with no option.

"I think I know what we can do. We are not going to participate in any of his mess again. We are going to save our daughter and stop hurting others." Alaric nodded when convincing his wife. They need to stop.

"But how? We cannot hide from him." She realised that even her magic wouldn't be enough to keep them hidden for eternity. This is not the life she wanted for her daughter.

"We can expose him, we can bring the truth out and get him in trouble," Alaric mentioned, and Hazel watched his face in sadness.
