Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 451

451 Hel F*cking Loves Me.
I packed my bags and put them in Theo’s car. Theo had been wandering around the mansion; Goddess knows doing what.
I returned to my room to grab the charging cable for my phone. That’s when I found Lazlo standing behind me with the door and staring at my face like I had stolen something from him.
“Lazlo! I have cleaned the closet and taken most of my stuff out. Valerie can take this room,” I said casually, not looking hurt or affected by imagining Valerie taking what used to be mine.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t upset with them; I just refused to show. However, I was not jealous anymore.
“Enya! Don’t go!” Lazlo’s soft whisper made me turn around and look at his face.
“You made the decision that night. And thanks to you, I get to spend time with whoever calls for me. For now, Theo has submitted the papers to take me to his pack.” I shrugged, making him realize whatever was happening was due to his actions.
“I was an idiot. I thought you were mine, and no matter what happens, you will always be mine,” he rushed from across the bed to grab my hands.
“And I wasn’t going to let Corbin take you away,” he added while I slipped my hands free out of his hands.
“You took way too long to take a decision that night. You watched me run around and beg everyone for help when you could have saved me. But I can’t even blame you anymore.
You wanted to justify sleeping with Valerie all this time. So, you held onto the most basic and ridiculous excuses to accuse me of cheating. In fact, you wanted to recreate the scene where this time, instead of I having multiple mates, you were having mates and I had to tolerate it. But Lazlo, the night I saw you in that state with Valerie and realized you had been doing this from literally the very next day of our marriage, I lost all my interest in you.” I said in my calmest voice.
The calmer I looked, the more agitated he got.
“I messed up. Enya! I had a lot going on in my head. I was jealous of you being stronger than an alpha; I was frustrated with you for having so many mates, I was sick and tired of being the last one.” As he tried to put the blame on me for not considering him above everyone else, I clicked my tongue to silence him.
“I selected you to be the first when you showed interest and redemption. How was I supposed to accept you before others when you were dunking my head in the water or bullying me at the next level?” I scoffed, as I thought that no matter what I had done, he would have punished me anyway.
“Accept it, Lazlo. You wanted to punish me because you wanted to cage someone who had previously not bowed down in front of you. I have suffered like hell in these two years, Lazlo. I need to breathe in the fresh air. I want to be in Thiago’s pack.” I finally stood up for myself and told him where I wanted to be at. He stood in his spot with tears forming in his eyes while I walked past him to leave the room.
I didn’t wait for anyone else to interrupt me and rolled into Theo’s car in a hurry.
I was going to leave behind the prison where I had been kept for two years.
Theo didn’t say a word and drove off. I could see Lazlo rush out of the mansion when he heard the car engine starting.
My sight turned blurry as I realized I had never been weak. I was forced into silence and fear by my own mate.
“Don’t shed any tears. Neither he nor anyone else deserves your precious tears,” Theo mumbled in a grumpy tone.
I didn’t say a word because I wanted to be silent for now. Life is weird. Just a few days ago, I was a bird in a cage. I was alone and sad, wanting love. Although Theo was not Thiago, he still managed to make me feel special. It isn’t about wanting attention or validation, but sometimes even the strongest person deserves and craves a shadow that sticks with them.
“Don’t get too comfortable. Corbin is still my mate and after my stay with you ends, he will come barging in to make me suffer,” I sighed as I realized Lazlo had gotten me in a lot of mess because of some petty reasons.
“Don’t worry about that. I am taking you for two months. And those two months are enough for me to find a way to get rid of that a*shole,” Theo stated confidently, making me turn to look at him and wonder what his true intentions were.
“Don’t look at me like that. If you haven’t figured out my motive yet, then it is all your fault,” he sped up and my breaths raced inside my chest. I was not ready to hear anything that would break me.
“What— what is your purpose for coming back?” I finally
asked. Screw the fear. I have to come out of my shell to find a way to help Thiago.
“Enya! I didn’t come here for nothing. I have my game planned; I have my eyes on my reward,” he stated, smirking a little and making my heart drop in my chest.
“Tell me,” I asked in a rough tone.
“I want what belongs to me, Enya. I came here for you,” he said, and a gasp heaved across my lips. “I fell in love with you when I was still stuck inside Thiago. I wanted to touch you and speak to you, but you all were pushing me into a cage. So, now that I got the chance, I’ve come back to make you mine. I love you as no one could ever. And I will f*cking set the world on fire if anybody tried hurting you or stealing you from me,” he finished with his eyes on the road but his breaths all over the place.
