Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 380

380-Now You See!

Author's POV:

Years Ago:

Alaric and Hazel had a hard time taking a nap after finding out their daughter had been cursed by the coven of witches to suffer for the rest of her life. However, they had to get ready for court, where Alaric had to confirm Shaun was with him that night after Makenzie didn’t stop pestering them to check the alibis of the people whose cars were found on the road that night.

When Alaric walked out of the courtroom, he found his little daughter Enya speaking to Thiago. She insisted they take him home, but it was not possible for them. Cop Wiz helped Thiago every single day when he insisted that he come to the trial and maybe remember who did this to them. The cop felt bad for the kid; he thought the child was suffering and dealing with trauma. Thiago was sent back to his pack, but he refused to live with anyone. He was an alpha, so he decided to stay in the pack's mansion. There were nannies, caretakers, and even Mr. Makenzie always available. The little boy’s life had turned upside down, and everybody noticed how his attitude toward others also changed. When he saw Shaun in the court, he just couldn't help but stare at him. He didn’t remember anything, but his face looked eerie to him.

On the other hand, Alaric had to go withdraw all the savings in order to prepare for an escape. While Hazel was at home, she feared Shaun coming over to meet her. She had been dodging his calls the whole morning, and then the worst happened.

She heard the doorbell and rushed to answer it, thinking it was her mate.

"I have packed all the bags an—," She yammered as she opened the door, but her mouth dried up when she saw Shaun instead of her mate.

"Packed your bags?" He tilted his head, giving her a very vague and phoney smile.

"Oh! Yes! We have bee—n thinking about taking a trip to Bahamas," she laughed nervously when responding to him.

"Really? That's sweet. Why didn't you tell me?" Shaun said, making his way inside even when it was pretty clear she didn't want him in her home anymore.

"I thought I'd let you know once it was confirmed." She nervously watched him look around and stare at the shelves full of pictures, but the other stuff seemed to be missing.

"You are taking all your belongings to the Bahamas?" He let out a chuckle, watching her face with much disappointment as he could tell what was going on here.

"Oh! No! That stuff was old. I thought, why not get some new stuff?" She joked, gulping and trying to sound cheerful.

"Hm! Yeah anyway," Shaun turned to her and then smiled, "Found your husband and child on road," the smile he gave her scared her for life.

"It seems like they were planning something. Maybe a vacation!" He spoke sarcastically, nodding his head as he understood what she was up to. "I thought I could trust you, Hazel. Everything was going so well, why the sudden change of heart?" he inquired with a sad look on his face. But it didn't look genuine, and the creepy man behind that smile scared Hazel.

"Look! I don't think it is a good idea to forge a mate bond. It is—," she whispered, shaking in her body.

"But why? You seemed so happy the other night when we spoke about making your daughter the future Luna Queen. What changed, Hazel?" Shaun asked, taking slow strides near her.

"Because I don't want my daughter to keep doing what I am doing, Okay? So back off," Hazel gulped the fear and ordered him to back off.

She realized she didn't need to fear him. She can take him out if he tries to be messy with her.

"Oh! Would you look at that anger on your face? You have surely grown very confident," he noticed, bobbing his head and letting out a distressed sigh.

"You know!" He cleared his throat and said, "I noticed the same look of anger on Alaric's face when I met them earlier. I was surprised at how he kept hiding his daughter—my future daughter-in-law behind him. I just felt so angry, and then I decided—I need to imprison them." He muttered under his clenched jaw, and Hazel's mouth hung low. She felt her heart stop at what he just told her.

"What did you say? What did you do?" she asked in a much more commanding tone this time.

"Careful! Your family is in my grasp. You try to use magic, and my men will do what I have told them to do if they don’t hear from me every few minutes," Shaun warned her, approaching her and looking her in the eye.
