Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

 347-The Witch Who Cursed Him 

After Christina left to check on Lazlo, I was left alone with Maynard. Ever since I stepped into this home, I was

feeling like negative energy has succumbed to me. 

“He will be fine,” Maynard whispered when watching me stare at the empty spot Lazlo had left. 

“I think I shouldn’t have brought him here. He must be missing his mother,” I whispered sadly. It hurt me to see him

so upset. 

“Am I the only one who doesn’t miss his mother?” he joked, trying to cheer me up. I passed him a weak smile to re

assure him I am fine. It was time I start looking hard but then I realized I needed to thank him for wasting his time

and ener gy on helping me. 

“Thank you for everything,” I told him, feeling a bit distant from him. It was crazy how I stopped thinking about him

and me after Thiago left. I wasn’t having crazy thoughts about Maynard but I always saw him with Christina and

asked my self why he was so brutal to me when we were in a relation ship. But that complaint withered away.

Thiago took away a lot more than just my mate when he left. 

“Of course, Enya, I will never leave your side,” he smiled and the moment he deepened his eye contact with me, I

felt weird. He was looking me in the eye for a moment before he tried to tug a few strands of my hair behind my

ear. That’s when I pulled away from him. The look on his face told me he didn’t expect that. 

He almost looked shocked as if something very unpre dictable happened. 

“I think we shouldn’t be acting like that around each other anymore,” | whispered but instead of saying he wasn’t

mean ing to do anything, he just looked away. The frown on his forehead stunned me too. Was he really annoyed

that I didn’t give in to his sweet gestures or was he feeling guilty? Maybe we will never know because I didn’t feel

like discussing us with him. 

There were no us anymore. 

I looked away from him and then looked around to find clues. It was not easy roaming around and not spotting

some thing that pull me back to my childhood days. That’s when my eyes picked out the sight of a colored door. 

“This used to be my room,” I pointed at a pink door, whose color was now all dull. The room had only a crib

because none of the toys were left once my parents died. The neighbors came in and took away the toys before

the house was locked. They didn’t even leave the toys that I was obsessed with. 

“This room–,” it was then I stared at the room in one cor ner of the living room. It had many locks on it, making me

wonder why? 

“I think this is the room where I can find answers,” I whis pered, reaching the door and using magic to unlock it.

Once it was unlocked, I took a deep breath and opened the door. 

The instant I got a glimpse of the room, my heart stopped in my chest. 

It was all red, just like the dream I had in the mountains

when I saw a woman bewitching Thiago. I couldn’t remember her face properly at that moment but now I did. 

I could hear the woman in the red dress chanting his name. 

“Thiago Shepard! The Alpha of the Shadow Winder Pack!” 

“Thiago Shepard! His wolf is Theo!” 

“Make him blind, make him deaf, mute him!” 

“MAKE HIM BLIND, MAKE HIM DEAF, MUTE HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE AND CURSE HIS WOLF—” 

“No!” I shuddered in my skin, tears forming and streaming down my cheeks. It can’t be. The woman can’t be—- 

It was then she turned around after hearing me cry and our eyes connected. 

Flashback: 

“NO!” I let out a cry and she turned around to look at me. 

“Enya!” the anger and creepy look on her face disap peared when she spotted me standing at the door. 

“Mommy! I am scared,” the little me started crying after watching my mom doing something very scary. 

“Hey! it is alright. Mommy was just—- praying for some one,” she instantly carried me in her arms and walked out

of the room. While closing the door, I had a great look at the red room. But then she closed the door and I could no

longer see the scary room.

“I am scared.” I whimpered again, holding onto a teddy bear tightly. 

“It is all fine. Look! I was praying for a disturbed soul,” she was smiling but I could sense the lie behind it. She

definitely lied to me. 

“I heard you talk bad about someone,” I said, sobbing in my little palms as I didn’t like my mom talking like that

about someone. 

“Oh! Oh no,” she shook her head, “That was — me trying to silence the monster under his bed,” she continued to

con vince me it was nothing. 

“Why did you come to my room?” she asked me after she had calmed me down a bit. 

“I was — hungry,” I said, hugging myself. I was still fright ened of her room and how she was dressed in all red and

left her long black hair open. 

“Oh! I will get you something to eat, okay?” she looked a little nervous when talking to me this time. I wasn’t able to

look away from her red dress. 

“Enya! look at me, your mommy is a hero, okay? She only helps everyone.” She was talking once again while

cupping my face in her hands and teaching me things that I already knew. But that little incident had shaken me to

my core. 

“I will go back to doing my work. You will not come to my office again, okay?” she made sure I nodded before she

left 

for her office after making me a sandwich.
