Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

500-Sparks In Hearts

Theo rushed to open my chains while Lazio and Maynard helped the mother witch and Oswin.

"I am so sorry I was late," Theo whispered after untying me. He wrapped his arms around my body and helped me

stay on my feet. I now realized I had lost all the magic because my body was beginning to feel weak.

Being an omega would have that effect on my body, but honestly speaking, I didn't mind. At least I got Nia back.

"Thiago!" Oswin walked over to him and gave him a good pat.

"I am Theo!" Theo smiled back at him and gave him a side hug, confusing Oswin.

"I will tell you about it later," I told my brother, breaking free from Theo's embrace, to hold him and hug him. I have

been worried to the max. He had been missing for some time, which had alarmed me.

"While you are busy looking after that witch’s daughter, look at your mate. She is going to suffer if you don't do

anything." Emelia's complaint got us to look at her. Christina was still holding onto her breath and crying.

Maynard walked ahead of us to approach them and shook his head at Emelia.

"That witch's daughter turned out to be a better person than this witch's daughter," he pointed at Emelia, letting

her know she could not fool him or threatened him into saving Christina's life when Christina herself was busy

plotting the worst for us.

"And she is not my mate. She was gladly making out with Corbin, ready to be accepted and become a Luna queen."

He shrugged. Christina was whimpering while watching Maynard.

"Lazio! What about you? Do you not remember what I have done for you?" Emelia then turned her attention to

Lazio, who definitely felt a little different because, in his childhood trauma, his only hero was this woman.

Lazio shared a glance with us and then looked at Mother Witch.

"He cannot do anything. None of us can. The magical silver has touched her heart. She will always be in this pain

unless Corbin pulls the dagger out of her chest," mother witch explained it to Emelia, ‘however, I realized you

haven't been honest to your own daughter,’ Jolline was obviously part of the reason Emelia had turned out to be so

negative and full of hatred. If only she hadn’t punished her in the worst way and kept her in the coven, maybe

things would have had a different outcome, but while mother witch was accepting her mistakes, Emelia was not.

"The mate bond was never created by her mother—but Maynard's bond was created by your mother and that too

by accident. She wanted your bond to be with Corbin, the one who killed you just now. So I believe you were lucky

to dodge Corbin at that time. But it seems like your death was written by his hands," Mother Witch told Christina,

who steadily raised her hand to her mother and stared at her with teary eyes.

‘Why did—n’t you tell me the truth?" the look on her face when realizing she was the one whose mate bond was

fake had shaken the world from under her feet.

‘I a—,’ Emelia gasped and covered her mouth.

"You kill—ed my father, and I forgave you," Christina whimpered, holding her hand up and wanting Maynard to hold

her.

"I never killed Argo,’ Maynard finally admitted.

"He is telling the truth. Lazio and Maynard never killed him. It was Thiago who did it. But because he didn’t want his

name to be used, he took Enya and left while these two stayed behind to cover the story,’ Theo explained, watching

Christina look even more mortified.

"Please-— forgive me," Christina started crying, but I knew she was only doing it because she had been betrayed by

Corbin as she had betrayed us.

Even when she was going to suffer for the rest of her life, I noticed how bitter she looked now that she was staring

at her mother.

She kept her hand up, asking for Maynard to hold it and comfort her, but he never did.

‘Please take us with you," Emelia then requested, expecting us to take them out of this island.

‘No! in fact, you two should stay here forever. And before I even leave, I, Alpha Maynard, reject Christina as my

mate," he said, watching her let out a cry as the pain intensified. She was wailing loudly and begging Maynard to

come back.

Emelia's cries penetrated the air while we began to leave the island. I knew Lazio would be a bit devastated, but he

told us he didn't want her out in the open again, where she would come back for revenge. Emelia stayed back on

the island with her daughter who was forever going to suffer now, having no means to leave, while we took the

boats and returned to our packs.

It was the most painful moment of our lives. We were angry with Christina, but that didn’t change the fact that we

had been living with her for years.

I wish she had come to me and expressed whatever hatred or questions she had for me. I tried my best to be on

better terms with her and to stay away from her mate, but in the end, whatever was written in the stars happened.

We reached Thiago’s pack and found the others writing for us, along with Trevor. The moment Oswin saw him, he

rushed in his direction and hugged him.

"Oh goodness! I thought you got killed or something," Trevor complained, breaking the hug and then grimacing at

Oswin's injuries.

"It’s all fine. I am glad you found my sister," Oswin smiled at him, flopping down on the couch and staring at Kellice.

"She is a friend," I told him before he could question her presence.

"I found her sister too," Trevor rolled his eyes while Oswin let out a little laugh.

"I heard. What happened? How did the Moon Goddess get you so good?" Oswin laughed at him, making everyone

snicker at Trevor, who looked devastated at the idea of being mates with Elaine.

But, hey, you can always reject her," Oswin said with a shrug.

"Wait! you have a mate?" Janet came forward and asked Trevor, who looked a bit shy when nodding to her.

"But I don't like her," Trevor shyly waved his hands, letting her know he was still looking for his perfect one. The way

Janet gulped and nodded, I could tell they had formed a good connection while we were gone.

"Vai!" Lazio smiled at her arrival and pulled her into a gentle hug. It all seemed back to normal, but everybody knew

it was just until the match happened. We also didn't forget that Corbin is now extremely powerful.
