Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 408

408-His Eyes On My Lips.

Her action and portrayal of what happened left me looking like a culprit.

"What did you do?" Lazio turned to me instantly after she left.

"I told you, I didn't do anything. She came in, snatching the stuff out of my hands and making big claims. I told her to mind her own business and not to come between me and my mate," I said in a bit of an irritated tone. He was making me say all these things in front of Maynard and Christina. I haven’t met them in years and now I was arguing with my mate in front of them.

I felt ashamed of everything that was happening around me and of being in that situation.

"Why did you have to downplay her hard work for me? If she told you not to touch the desk, just don't touch the desk. You are new here. She has been here since I joined. I wouldn't let anyone disrespect her like that." Lazio sounded very upset when talking back to me.

"And what about me? She was disrespectful. What about that?" I ran in his direction when I found him walking after her. "You're not going after her," I finally declared.

His eyes made deeper eye contact with me when he heard me command him. Maynard held Christina's hand and walked out of the room to give us privacy.

Now that we were alone, I felt like yelling at Lazio for letting me down in front of them. I made huge claims in front of Maynard when I didn't accept him back and talked about my relationship with Lazio. Now he got to see how my mate was treating me, the mate I spoke so highly of once upon a time.

"What was all that?" Lazio asked, shaking his head in disbelief.

"I am getting tired of everything. You took her side in front of them. Why?" I pulled closer and grabbed his collar. "There is a restroom for you two with a mattress and honeymoon ambiance. What is that for?" I was finally talking my heart out. I wanted to give it one last try before I hear from anyone in the future that I was selfish enough to not make an effort to save our relationship.

"You are getting sick, Enya. You losing powers, and your wolf has made you insecure. You want someone to stand beside you and hold your hand every two steps you take, and I have grown up to do all that stuff. All I can say to you is to grow up. I cannot be a Luna only. I am allowed to have business partners, to have friends, to have a life outside the cage of your mate bond," he scoffed when mentioning our mate bond.

"I am going to bring her back, and if you have a problem with that, you can stay at home." He gripped my wrists and freed himself. The pressure he applied almost made me let out a yelp.

Soon he walked out of the room and left me behind to suffer. The fact that I lost after winning made me want to scream at the top of my lungs. Dropping to my knees, I stared into space in silence for a moment before I broke down.

It felt awful to be me now.

I got up and walked all the way to the window to stare at the cloudy sky. The dark clouds have darkened the world; it was going to rain soon.
