Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

450-It’s Karma, B*tch!
His confession shocked me, but it didn’t intrigue me. He changed after Thiago returned; otherwise, he was happily controlling my life and keeping me somewhere in his mansion while he enjoyed his newly founded lover’s company.
“Oh!” Theo sighed, rolling his eyes.
“But you told me—,” Before Valerie could continue to object, Lazlo’s grunt silenced her.
“I thought I did, okay? But that doesn’t mean I don’t love you.” He instantly reached for her arm, but she stepped away from him.
“Okay! Now it is becoming boring. You two can go back and forth until we are gone.” Theo slammed his hands on the desk to get their attention. He was already standing beside his seat and waiting for me to follow him when Lazlo objected one more time.
“Did you not hear me? She is not leaving to stay with you,” Lazlo groaned, making tight fists out of his hands. The fact that he knew he could never fight a Lycan, yet he was p*ssing Theo off, surprised me. An ungrateful person never
understands the worth of their beloved Luna until they lose her.

“How about we let Enya decide what she wants to do?” It was then that Theo played another trick and drew attention to me. Maynard hadn’t even moved a muscle this whole time. He was sitting in his seat and staring at the floor with his fingers scratching his chin.
“Enya! Tell him you will not leave with a monster who caged your mate.” Since Lazlo knew how he had treated me would
affect my decisions, he turned to speak to me and actually brought Thiago into the middle to convince me to reject Theo’ s offer.
I understand that Theo had committed a terrible act by imprisoning Thiago, but it was also in my best interest to find out how I could release Thiago. Not only that, if we look at Theo’s side, he wanted to be free, just like the rest of us.
“Actually,” I finally spoke up, “I will go back to the mansion with Lazlo.” As soon as I said that, the smile from Theo’s face faded and a look of lost hope appeared on Lazlo’s face until I added, “I will pack my bags and message you to let you know when you can drop me off at your pack, Theo!”
My decision resulted in Theo closing his eyes and sighing secretly while Maynard got out of his seat, kicked the seat down, and bolted towards the exit. Lazlo was silently staring at my face, with big tears forming in his eyes.
“No!” Lazlo shook his head. “That is not happening.” He smiled through tears, instantly clenching his jaw in disbelief.
“Why? You thought I would never be able to escape your clutches?” I scoffed at him, remembering the endless days and nights of agony.
“Let’s go home, and we can talk about everything. I can open my heart and tell you what drove me away from you, okay?” Lazlo instantly bolted in my direction and spread his arms, requesting to have a word with me.
“I know what drove you away from me, Lazlo. It was your ego! The kiss between me and Maynard and the doubts over my character was just your excuses to justify your mistreatment
of me. When the reality is that you never forgave me for what my mother did to you. All this time, you were frustrated at the fact that my mother ruined your childhood while I got to have powers. On top of it, you wanted control over me, which I never let you have. I was a fool to never focus on your actions. From you drowning me in that academy’s bathroom to not pulling me out when I demanded you do so, it was pretty clear you wanted to control me. And once you couldn’t, the anger built inside you. Hence when you finally got me, you punished me for all those times and it helped you feel better and stronger,” I said it all in one breath, watching him close his eyes and bite the inside of his cheeks.
It was true. I figured all the accusations were nonsense. He just blamed me and used my mother’s magic of making him grow up as a control freak excuse to hurt me.
