Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

412-Offered Me Her Mate.

I patched myself up after taking a shower and went to bed without trying to peek outside the room. I was just not

ready to face anyone. Lazio didn't come to my room that night. However, I still felt like he didn't tell me the truth.

There was no way he wasn't having an affair with Valerie. No matter how many times he tries to gaslight me, I

knew for a fact that the way the two acted around each other isn't normal. Now, my major concern was Corbin. For

whatever reason, he tried to get me into his car, which scared me. He will not stop until he gets his hands on me

and makes me pay for everything.

’Enya! ’ I heard Lazio call for me, waking me up early in the morning. "Wake up! It’s late," he admitted, sounding

sleepy himself. He must have walked all the way from the guestroom to the bedroom to wake me up.

'I am not going to the office today," I replied to him, covering my face in the blanket and trying to rest a little more.

’That is up to you. Go prepare the breakfast," he yawned before ordering me to prepare food for him.

’Can you not ask the chef of the pack to cook something? I am exhausted and sick," I sniffled, showing him the bad

flu I got. I had a fever too. The human body is so much weaker than a werewolf body. Now that I am a human only,

I would catch diseases and injections very easily.

’Ugh! then I should have married a chef. Stop making up excuses and leave the damn bed. You can rest when we

leave for work, Enya!" He snatched the blanket off me, and the icy breeze made me curl into a ball instantly.

’Get up! Don't make me come back again," he threw the blanket on the floor and while yawning, left the room.

I sat up and stared at the blanket for a moment. This is not the life I wanted for myself. He has become unbearable

at this point.

Since I was at the mercy of his pack, I rolled out of bed and dragged my feet to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for

him.

I had to wear a mask and gloves to prepare food for them, and it was difficult wearing a mask with a bruised nose.

After finally finishing my work, I headed back to the room and lay down in the bed. I fell asleep immediately and

woke up to Christina calling for me.

’Enya! drink this soup and you will feel better," she said, sitting in bed with me and holding a bowl of chicken soup in

her hands.

’Ha?" I yawned, rubbed my eyes, and sat up in bed. ’How long have I been sleeping?’ I asked in bewilderment.

’Just two hours,’ she smiled at my response and set a pillow behind my back to help me sit comfortably while she

feeds me.

’You didn't go to work today?" I questioned and in response to it, she sweetly shook her head.

’How could I when you were this unwell?" She passed me a smile and then helped me drink the soup. It felt so

damn good. The warm soup running down my throat felt like heaven.

"Thank you so much," I said, feeling a burning sensation in my eyes. Fever always made me feel the worst.

’This is what friends are for," she continued being very helpful.

’Can I say something?" She then covered me in the blanket and put the bowl away after ensuring I had finished it.

’Sure, what is it?’ I inquired, watching her squirm uncomfortably as she adjusted her body in bed.

’Why are you still with him?’ She asked, and I turned my face away. ’I don't know what happened between you two,

but he doesn't seem to be in love with you anymore. The way he treats you and gives Valerie priority over you is

just ridiculous. You are not the Enya who would tolerate all this bullshit. What happened to you?" She crawled closer

to me and held my hands to comfort me.

’I don't kn—ow. Christina! Last night, I smelled her perfume on him," I said, tears welling up in my eyes.

’I questioned him, and he made me feel like an idiot for even questioning him. I know they are— but then why can’t

he tell me the truth and put my mind at ease?’ I broke down when talking to someone about my struggles.

Being a Luna was not enough. Personally, for me, I could never live with a title when my self-respect and dignity

were being questioned.

"That’s why I want to know from you. Why not leave him?" She patted her hand on the back of my hand, putting

pressure on that question.

’I don't know where else to go after demanding rejection from him. Thiago is gone, so I cannot stay in his pack as

per the rules. Living the life of a rogue seems very dangerous for a human like me," I complained as I slipped my

hands out of her hands and covered my face with my hands.

I felt stuck.

’There is one way to help you get out of this miserable life," she whispered under her breath. It wasn't the context

of her words that made me remove my hands from my face and look at her, but the tone she used.

She sounded sneaky, almost like she was trying to say something extremely forbidden.

’What?” I demanded to know, my gaze fixed on her face as she stole my gaze.

"Enya! what if-,’ she paused when I narrowed my eyes at her face.

’What if you marry Maynard? You will be able to live in his pack like a true Luna, and you will get to be with the mate

who truly loves you and cares for you. A mate who will never disrespect you or hurt your feelings," she finished

talking, but her words rang in my head for the next few minutes.

To say I was shocked at her words would be an understatement. This was her husband and mate that she was

offering me.
