Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

469-Not Accepting Rejection.

Enya’s POV:

Present Time:

'Her mother used to be friends with your mother before everything fell apart and they two became foes,” Kellice

explained the entire history between my mother and Emelia to me. I was stunned upon hearing how my mother

betrayed her.

"So maybe Christina is taking revenge on me for what my mother did to her mother?" That was all I could conclude

from the history my mother and her mother shared.

’There could be more." Kellice shrugged.

'Because Enya! when you have so many foes, there is a possibility that some of them become friends. Their mutual

goal might not be the exact same, but the outcome they want would be similar. In your case, maybe Maynard's

interest in you, along with what your mother did to Emelia, made Christina evil?" Kellice uttered, trying to

comprehend everything.

'Her mother had never come out before until yesterday when I was about to rejce—t Christina,’ Maynard stuttered

as we watched his face with our eyes bugging out in surprise.

’You were going to reject her?" I asked, surprised.

'Let's just say I have woken up from all the lies she had been whispering in my ears as a lullaby,' he pouted,

admitting he was wrong for believing her without questioning anything.

*S—,’ I was about to ask him some questions regarding Emelia when Theo's phone began to go crazy. He watched

our faces and then turned the screen to us.

’I know this number," Lazio spoke up before I did. "It's Enya's adaptive parents," he claimed.

'Why are they calling me now?' Theo had a stern look on his face when talking about them. The truth about them

hadn't been hidden from anyone.

’They must be expecting some royalties from you like they did from me back when—I was her only mate," Lazio's

tone changed after acknowledging he was my only mate, and he messed up that opportunity entirely because he

chose to believe someone over his own Luna.

’Let's see what they have to say,’ I told Theo, eyeing him to accept the call. I knew he would listen to me, so I

attended the call and put it on speaker.

'Alpha Thiago! We are so pleased to know that you have come back to lead your pack. It was a shame that some

untrained witch got you stuck in that portal.’ Vinona didn't even waste a minute before trash-talking me.

'Hello to you too!" Theo rolled his eyes at her.

T heard you took her to your pack. I am sure you did it for a suitable response. She should suffer for hurting you,"

she continued to shock us. I was in disbelief but also laughing at her inside my heart. She really thought she would

pump Theo against me.

If anything, I knew there was no way anyone could ever turn Theo or Thiago against me.

’Yeah! She's here," Theo said, not saying much else. He was waiting to expose her true intent by calling him.

’I was thinking—why don’t you come over with her for dinner? While we enjoy a delicious meal, we can tease her

together," her voice held so much enthusiasm that I frowned and pouted angrily at her.

'Oh! That sounds like a good idea. Tell me when I should come over?" Theo excitedly rubbed his palms as he

couldn't wait till they find out he was treating me like a royalty and not the other way around.

'Brilliant! How about tonight?" she asked, and Theo looked over at me to get my permission. After I gave him a nod,

he responded to her, "That's perfect. I will be there with her ex-mates," he said, dragging Maynard and Lazio, who

once failed to protect me before those evil people.

Being mentioned as my ex-mate brought a frown to Lazio's forehead. He stared at Theo and then turned his face to

the other side.

'Oh! Will they join? I can’t wait for that evil girl to pay for her sins." My so-called mother was shamelessly plotting

against me with my mate, who definitely had other plans for her.

’Same," Theo faked.

The two hung up after discussing the details of the dinner, and now we were awkwardly sitting and staring at each

other. Everybody had some comments to pass, nobody just knew who would go first.

’I can't believe that woman is such a bitch," Kellice sighed.

’How did you live with her for so long?’ Janet asked me.

'She had the audacity to call and prepare us to bully you," Maynard mumbled, looking guilty because he knew

somewhere they were the reason her confidence went so high.

’I am not Enya's ex-mate." After everybody was done commenting, Lazio complained.

’ Not just now, but very soon,’ I claimed, making him look my way with a sudden movement to his head.

'Lazio! I am not rejecting you because I am waiting for you to redeem yourself. I am only silent till I get my wolf. I

don't want my wolf to receive another shock for now,’ I sighed, watching a tear leave his eyes.

It is okay to cry. I cried too.

'So, we are going for dinner, then?" Theo asked with a wide smile on his lips. After he heard me tell Lazio I was

going to reject him, he was extremely happy. Since Maynard and Lazio were not leaving, Theo had asked the maids

to prepare a guestroom for them. Unlike them, Theo was still a better person.

After walking back to our rooms to prepare for dinner, I watched Theo approach me when I was looking for a dress

to wear for dinner.

’Don't bother, I brought one for you." He pulled a dress from behind his back and shocked me with its beauty of it. It

was a beautiful golden dress.

'It's pretty,' I said, holding the dress close.

'I want you to wear this dress when I accept you tonight and mark you in front of everyone," his words fluttered my

heart as I never thought he would be planning it already.
