Tasting All My Mates

Chapter 487

487-lt’s About Time, Lazio!

‘Are you feeling fine now?” Janet asked, sitting beside me after she had returned. I am, but I guess Theo is upset that I couldn’t go through with the training,” I said to her, watching Theo from afar, who was walking in the garden and having a deep conversation with Maynard and Lazio. It seemed like they didn’t want anybody else to jointhem.

“He has every right to be worried. When I went there, even I was confused if I should submit the papers or not,” Janet sighed, making me understand why waking up Nia is the most important goal right now.

’I also want to talk about the girl staying in the guestroom.” Janet gently patted my shoulder to get my attention back to her.

‘Valerie? How is she?” I asked her, feeling bad because she deserved to enjoy her first pregnancy.

‘She is not eating anything. I feel so bad for her. But then again, she should have been wiser and not trusted his words when he told her he was leaving you soon. Just look at him, he is wandering around like he didn’t do anything wrong and she is taking all the pressure alone,” Janet was not wrong. Lazio needed to speak to her.

‘I will go check on her,’ I said, getting up from the seat and gesturing for the maid to prepare a food tray for me. Since I no longer felt any type of way about Lazio, I wasn’t jealous at all. She was his one true mate, and he was mistreating her for me.

After grabbing the tray, I knocked on the door and entered the room to find her sitting by the window in tears.

‘I heard you haven’t eaten anything,” I said, sitting beside her and offering her food. She broke me a weak smile before she shook her head and refused to eat anything.

‘You are not only starving yourself but your baby as well,” I told her, watching her tear up.

“But what do I do? It is not like I am not responsible for my condition. He told me we would need to keep our relationship a secret, and I listened to him. He told me not to tell anyone that we were fated mates and I did that too. I willingly made a fool out of myself, and now I have a life growing inside me whose father doesn’t even want to do anything with the baby. I am devastated and I feel like it is my karma,” she started laughing hysterically, “I feel caged again, Enya. I was so desperate to be with my fated mate that I didn’t even realize how much I was hurting another she-wolf. I cannot give enough explanations because none of them will make me the victim. I did wrong, and I am facing my karma now.” She was sobbing and talking with much difficulty. It broke my heart to see her like that.

“I cannot go back in time and stop myself from being a bitch, but what I can do is beg for your forgiveness,” she said instantly, getting up from her spot and sitting on my knees, making me jump and pull away from her.

“Hey! No! don’t do that,” I complained, grabbing her by her hands and making her stand up from my feet.

‘Please forgive me!” she begged again once she was on her feet.

‘You didn’t do it alone. I was mad at you in the beginning, but trust me, now I am just okay with whatever happened. It helped me move on from him. What happened, happened in the past? If my forgiveness is all you need, then I am forgiving you, Valerie!” I gently hugged her, and she hugged me back tightly. No wonder everybody likes you. You are very kind and generous.” Valerie said, after pulling away from me. That’s when I heard a guard informing the others outside that alpha king Corbin has arrived.

I knew he had heard about the papers and was probably here to talk about them. I left Valerie in the room and rushed outside to see what he wanted from us now. He was standing in the garden with the others, holding some papers.

‘Ah! Here comes the Alpha Queen!” he joked, waving the papers and laughing his ass off. Maynard and Lazio had to hold Theo’s hand to pull him back and keep him from attacking Corbin.

I thought I was up against the great Lycan,” Corbin laughed, shaking his head at us.

‘But I come to find out I am fighting this little human girl. I didn’t know you guys wanted her dead so bad.” He wrapped his arm around his belly and started chuckling again.

‘Anyway, the match is fixed. In 10 days, we will meet in the public square and compete for the crown,” he announced. I was on my way to leave when he stopped for only a few seconds to look me in the eye and say, “Oh, my goodness! I cannot wait to break your fragile bones and dig a grave for you with my own fucking hands,” he muttered, his eyes yelling how badly he wanted me dead.

He rushed past me to the exit while we stayed in our spots cluelessly. Only todays!

I could either get a wolf or train in these few days.

‘We have to find the missing people,” Theo mumbled under his breath, “Lazio, Maynard,

Enya! we are headed to the woods,” he said out of the blue. I noticed the way Lazio and

Maynard looked his way and nodded; it was a clear indication that they were all onto something, but they were keeping it from me.

It was only then that I felt like I needed to speak to Lazio about Valerie one last time.

The only way for Lazio to understand he had no chance with me was to reject him, and I was going to do that before I headed to the woods.
