Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

Chapter 458

458-No Pain, No Gain
“That’s worrisome,” I mumbled, stroking my chin and sitting on the bench for the last few minutes. After Kellice told me the mother witch had gone missing, I couldn’t help but connect the dots between the disappearances.
“You seem too distraught over her disappearance. Is there anything we should know about?” Kellice asked, standing in front of me.
“My brother is missing too,” I whispered. “The two of them were the only ones trying to help me during the time when I was in misery,” I said, and I raised my head to watch Kellice look a little more worried this time.
“So somebody is only kidnapping those who love and care for you?” Kellice nodded as she realized it was all about me.
“I better hire guards,” said Theo, who had no clue when to joke. He rubbed his arms over his biceps and pretended to be afraid.
“Don’t worry. No fool would want to kidnap a nuisance like you,” Kellice said as she stepped back.
“How about we make a list of people who can gain from hurting Enya?” Kellice said, grabbing a little notepad from her purse and clicking her pen to work.
“Alpha King Corbin,” I shrugged as his name appeared first in my mind, “but what is he going to gain by hurting me? It is not like I am on his way to anything,” I frowned, as it didn’t make any sense.
“Oh! And Valerie maybe, but—,” I paused when I gave it a thought, “not anymore. I left Lazlo for her, so why would she
want to hurt me?” My shoulders slouched once again as another name left the list of people who could gain something by hurting me.
“Christina!” It was Theo who said her name. “She hates you because her mate claims to love you.” I admired how Theo was careful with his words. He wasn’t too sure himself if Maynard truly ever loved me or if was he just under the impression that he does.

“She is a daughter of that witch who was wronged by Enya’s mother. What was her name again?” Theo snapped his fingers, making us silently watch him say it himself, “Emelia!”
My body felt instant goosebumps covering my skin. Indeed! Christina had been the only consistent person whose hatred for me never changed. Although she tried to make it seem like she was on good terms with me, that didn’t last for too long as she revealed her true colors very soon.
“But she cannot do it all alone. She must be getting any sort of help,” I said, brushing my fingers through my hair in confusion.
“Why don’t you leave that on me? I will do my best to find out what is going on with this Christina girl,” Kellice stated, and after that, she gave me a smile.
“I am sorry for attacking you emotionally. I need to make sure you get your wolf back, which you should have had when Theo arrived,” she frowned at her own words, “I don’t
understand why your wolf didn’t wake up.” She tilted her head and kept staring at my face, but she was not looking at anything in particular; she was zoned out.
“I don’t understand either. Maybe when I used all that magic, I accidentally put my wolf into a deep slumber?” I asked, and she nodded to my theory.
“That’s exactly what happened, but your wolf was supposed
to wake up when Theo came back. It is like something is holding Nia back.” She let out a sigh, as too many things now needed her attention.
“We better hurry because soon Enya will challenge Corbin for the crown,” Theo mumbled, playing with the keychain hanging down Kellice’s bag.
We stared at him and then at each other.
“Don’t look at me like these ladies; I am only here for one of you,” he said as he raised his head and pointed at me.
Kellice’s forehead furrowed as she kept looking into his face.
“I know how we can get Enya’s wolf back.” It was then that Kellice snapped her fingers and rolled her sleeves up.
I was not sure what she was up to, but it didn’t look like a painless idea to me.
“What is it?” The instant Theo heard my name and that a plan was being made, he rushed before me to block me from
Kellice’s vision.
“I am only going to help her get her wolf. No need to be all defensive,” Kellice complained when Theo didn’t step aside and reveal me to Kellice.
“You have discussed any plans you make about Enya first. I am not letting you just initiate a plan without explaining
anything to me,” Theo stubbornly stood there, refusing to walk away.
