Tasting All My Mates By Alexis Dee Chapter 223
223-Maybe I Am A Curse!
“Thiago! What are you saying?” My heart pounded in my head as tears blurred my vision.
“It can‘t be over.” | covered my mouth with my hands when he only shook his head and stepped farther away from me.
“It‘s not going to work anymore.” He said it again, “I will not reject you, but I will keep the rules in my mind since your other mates didn‘t respect them.” It was an obvious hint that he would not be the Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
same anymore.
“I gave you a chance in the past,” I murmured, tearing up.
“For using your magic to find my parents‘ killer. This situation is different from that one. Not only did you betray me and choose the one mate I told you not to accept, but you were also planning to kill me. I don‘t know how I can stick around and think you are not ready to stab me whenever somebody tells you I am a mo––––nster.” His voice broke as he murmured.
“It won‘t happen again.” I was guilty of hurting him.
“You know the problem is–,” he paused, “I always believed I was a monster, but you! You and Lazlo convinced me I was not. You two made me feel valuable. I, for once, thought I could lead a normal, happy life. But on the first side of trouble, you two left me behind.” He shook his head as he swallowed the tears.
“I need some time for myself,” he whispered in his mouth. “You are free from the monster. You can do whatever you please, Enya. I will not come in your way anymore.” He finished talking and got on his feet to leave.
I broke down in tears the instant he left. My heart felt like it was getting stabbed repeatedly. I had my hands on my face while I knelt on the ground and cried.
‘We messed up our mate,‘ Nia murmured,
“Enya!” Lazlo appeared in sight to comfort me. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me over his chest as I cried for Thiago.
“I messed up,” I whimpered, breaking the hug and looking Lazlo in the eye.
“It was a mistake,” Lazlo consoled. “Let‘s take you out of here first.” Lazlo helped me get up on my feet and walked me out of the woods. I didn‘t want to stay behind and see what the others were doing.
Lazlo took me to his cabin instead of the academy. I needed some time away from everybody else.
“Drink it while it is hot,” he said as he handed me a hot cup of coffee. It was extremely cold outside, and my mind couldn‘t stop worrying about Thiago.
“He hates me now,” I whispered, holding the mug in my hands to warm my palms.
“He does not,” Lazlo uttered.
“He told me he needed a break from me. I can tell you it is all over between us. He probably doesn‘t
even care, and I can‘t even blame him anymore.” I was staring at the fireplace, watching the fire eat the wood as I ate our relationship.
“He said it because he was angry. When he left you in there, he instantly texted me to check up on vou. He just wanted to be left alone for some time, but he still cares for you.” Lazlo showed me a text from Thiago, and it was a moment of relief. However, it still didn‘t mean he wanted to be in a relationship with me.
“Lazlo! when I saw Maynard with Willow. I didn‘t know they were not mates. In my head, I thought he had cheated on me with his mate. The big problem was that he didn‘t tell me and started a relationship with her. It was way later that I found out he had done worse than just that. If we think about it, I did worse to Thiago. I cheated on him when I had promised him I would not accept anyone else.” I was ready to admit my mistakes because I could see why Thiago was so upset.
“But if you want, you can accept as many mates as you want,” Lazlo defended me and also tried to convince me it would be fine if I started a relationship with my other mates.
“Only if my mates are on the same page. I can‘t promise them something and then back out. Besides, what if Thiago gets a new mate and he wants to accept her too? I would die if I saw him with anyone else. I am such a hypocrite,” I sighed, understanding everything and also the fact that I was wrong.
“You are just thinking too much. We have other issues at hand that needs our attention. That monster is still out there, manipulating Jessica and controlling her. Jessica told Thiago that the monster has his eyes on you. Enya, you must ensure that you have the upper hand in your magic. Because I have a feeling, it is going to get very dark from here,” Lazlo said while teaching for my hand and then instantly pulled away when he remembered the rules.
“This is all too weird,” I sighed. “Firstly, I got so many mates and, secondly, all of them are cursed, it appears. I mean, look at every one. They all have a dark past. It just doesn‘t make sense why I am attracted to pain and broken ones.” I was beginning to think it was all a big plan against me.
“You think your mates are cursed?” he asked, taking an interest in what I had to say.
“Lazlo! It is not my mates who are cursed. I am cursed.” I said confidently, and he blinked his eyes excessively to make it look like his head was spinning.
“I am cursed to have mates who have their own demons they are fighting. What I don‘t understand is why me? There has to be a reason I am being punished by getting these powers.” I put the mug down and stared at my hands.
“What are you talking about, Enya? Your power is not punishment, it is your strength.” Lazlo laughed
softly at me for taking it too far.
“You don‘t get it yet?” | inquired, with a sad smile on my lips, “This power comes at a price. I am supposed to accept my mates even if I don‘t want to. And not all these mates are what they seem to be. And if they reject me, they will be one step closer to death. Now tell me, if my magic is a power or a curse?” As I explained it to him better, his face changed colors.
“I need to find information on my parents,” I determinedly made up my mind. If only my life were not
at risk, I would have rejected Zander for playing with me.
So I will now find out more about my powers and a viable way to escape death if I reject someone.
