Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 443

443-Happy Or Sad?
The rest of the car ride was filled with awkward silence. Once we reached the pack, I found Lazlo’s car overtaking us and parking before us.
“Ah! Seems like somebody had a rough time.” Theo let out a laugh, watching Lazlo get out of the car in haste and stand there with his arms crossed over his chest. Valerie got out of the car behind him and followed his stare.
“Thank you for the ride,” I said, ready to leave when Theo suddenly held my hand to pull me back in the seat.
“That’s not a way to say goodbye,” he whispered, making me look into his eyes as he brought his face closer to mine. My heart fluttered when his eyes traveled to my lips.
I wanted to pull away from him, but I had been begging the Moon Goddess for the last two years to let me taste his beautiful lips again. Now that I’d been given the chance, it wasn’t easy to reject him. He brought his face even closer, but then c*cked it and pressed his lips against my cheek gently. My eyes closed at the fresh breath that fanned over my cheek.
When he finally pulled away from me, I opened my eyes and blinked hard to get out of his trance.
“Have a good night,” he whispered, pulling back in his seat:
I nodded and rushed out of the car. I didn’t want to keep staying there. He has become my biggest weakness after I realized in the last two years that nobody can ever love me the way he does.
Soon I was walking in the direction of the entrance, avoiding
Lazlo, who was breathing like a bull. I walked past him, not stopping to let him ruin my mood. Once I had entered the mansion, Lazlo came after me.
“What was all that?” he yelled at me, sprinting to stop me in the living room. Maynard and Christina were already waiting for us.
“What happened?” Maynard got up from the couch after watching Lazlo breathe like a beast and questioning me.
“She came in the car with him and even let him— give her a peck on the cheek.” Lazlo closed his eyes to yell that part while also clenching his fists.
“What? You let him kiss you?” Maynard growled, his hands turning into a fist. I stood between them, watching them groan and look at me with those judgmental eyes that I couldn’t take anymore.
My sight was turning blurry because every time I was this close to finding happiness, I lost everything. Today was the prime example of it. I would trade my life for Thiago to fill me in his arms, but turned out. The battle isn’t even over yet.
“So? Why does it bother you so much?” Christina got up after Maynard and grabbed his arm to forcefully turn him around.
“Christina! Don’t interrupt. I am seriously in a terrible mood right now.” Maynard freed his hand to swirl and point his finger in her face.
“That is not acceptable. He cannot come back to steal you away again,” Maynard yelled at the top of his lungs. “He is a f*cking Lycan, not even Thiago. How could you let him kiss
you? That will instill a lot of hope in his heart.” Maynard raised his voice even louder. Being a human makes me a little too afraid of wild animals. I had a lot to say, but I kept my words to myself.
Arguing with them was never an option. They would not understand.
“I don’t want to see him around you again, Enya!” It was Lazlo’ s time to raise his voice. I stood between them with my arms wrapped around my body and my eyes closed, watching them with tears in them.
“Or else?” I heard a voice from behind Lazlo, making everyone turn around to look at Theo. He was holding my phone in his hand. “You left your phone in my car,” he waved the phone in his hand, his eyes deepening at my eyes.
“You are crying?” he asked, taking slow strides between Lazlo and me. I don’t know why he was doing all this, but he was hurting me more. These hopes and expectations had never worked my way. I would rather face reality than live in the hope that he truly cares. He is Theo, the Lycan we all prevented from coming out. I knew for a fact that he didn’t like me.
“It is our personal matter.” Lazlo cleared his throat, not able to raise his voice at the powerful Lycan in sight.
“Personal matter with such a big audience around?” Theo let out a sarcastic laugh. “If you are yelling at her like that in front of all of them, I don’t want to imagine how you treat her when she is alone,” he muttered, his jaw clenching as he fixed his stare at Lazlo’s face. It seemed like a beast was glaring at his prey.
“I treat her way better than a Lycan could ever treat her,” Lazlo scoffed as he said those words.
“Huh! say it again, I didn’t hear you through my ear which has an inbuilt filter to nonsense,” Theo drew his ear closer to Lazlo, who pulled away from him instantly.
“Which reminds me of your other mate storming out of the mansion’s parking lot. I guess you should check on her,” Theo reminded Lazlo of Valerie, who probably didn’t want to be dropped off here.
“You are not leaving?” Lazlo asked Theo, who shoved his hands in his pockets before saying anything.
“Nah! I kind of want to stay here for a day. I miss my friends–,” he smiled, purposely getting on Lazlo’s nerves, “And my mate,” he added and tilted his head to me. I looked down once when his stare sent shivers down my spine.
“Go! Drop her home,” Theo added, licking his bottom lip so as to irritate Lazlo, who refused to move a muscle.
“I will ask a guard to follow her home safely.” Lazlo shook his head at the idea of leaving Theo alone in the mansion with me.
He walked away from us to call the guards, while Maynard – and Christina stood there watching Theo, who hadn’t steered his eyes away from my face.
I excused them all and rushed into the bedroom to cry my heart out. I don’t know what I was feeling at that moment. Happy or sad!
I don’t know anymore.
