Tasting All My Mates

Chapter 45

45-His Parents Hate Me

After Yale and Stacy were taken to the werewolf court, they got the worst punishment of the century. Both of them were sent away to a prison called abyss, a place known for keeping the prisoners and making them do hard labor. Now that they were gone, Lazlo was at much peace. He showed me around his pack and then the pack members planned a carnival for my arrival.

It was honestly one of the best times I had during my vacations. I couldn’t believe I would say this but I was glad I came here with Lazlo and he too agreed.

The 10 days passed by so quickly that we didn’t even remember I have to leave for my other mate’s pack in the morning.

“I can’t believe you gave me the best time of my life,” we were coming back from the bar after partying and drinking a little.

“Well, at least I am good at something,” he shrugged his shoulders with pride. After that night, we didn’t stay in the same room because I didn’t want us to share a bed.

It wasn’t my intention to sleep with him just because he was my mate but at least we bonded well.

“Ready to head out tomorrow?” Lazlo questioned and I pouted.

“I don’t like changing places. It is such a pressure to move around and try to settle in,” I rolled my eyes thinking about the two other packs I have to be at very soon. Maynard be a typical Maynard, he will do what he does the best by pissing me off and as for Thiago, his silence had bothered me a lot in these days.

I didn’t even know if he wants me in his pack or not because not even once did he check up on me through Lazlo. It was Maynard’ s idea that the moment I stepped into their packs, my other mates will

try not to contact me and distract me.

*Just so you know, Maynard is not allowed to touch you as he warned us too,” just when I reached my room, Lazlo’s comment halted my steps.

“Yet we made out,” I smiled and entered my room. He was really sweet when he acted jealously.

He was not a bad person but somewhere along the line his father messed him up and his happiness, he had grown a little too aggressive and controlling. I noticed that in a few days whenever somebody would come around to speak to me.

But that was it for now. I didn’t have to pay too much attention to him because I was leaving in the morning. I had packed all my stuff before going to bed.

His pack members were genuinely sweet and caring. They made me feel at home which I have never felt anywhere before.

The next day arrive as it always does and Lazlo was getting ready to drop me at the border of the White Vicious Pack, which was an hour’s ride from his pack.

I was all set and waiting for Lazlo now. The black dress I wore looked well with the brown high boats. It was getting colder yet! chose a dress and wore blue brown shorts under it. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Why is Lazlo taking so much time?” I inquired from Hans, who had been sitting in the garden with me to accompany me.

“There he is,” He then pointed at Lazlo marching towards us. From the looks of him, he didn’t look ready to drive.

“You were supposed to get ready.” I asked as I scanned his black shorts and white shirt.

“Yeah! I informed Maynard that you are not coming today,” he casually spoke sipping from his coffee. Hans and the others didn’t know about the deal my mates have made. They didn’t know I have so many mates too.

They just knew I had to leave to stay over at my friend’s pack for a little.

“Maynard will be not happy hearing about this,” I reminded him but he shrugged his shoulders ignorantly.

“Well, I am not feeling too well to drive and I won’t let you go alone with a driver,” that was just an excuse and even Hans realized

“When did you tell Maynard I am not coming?” I questioned him because I wanted to know when he made that decision and didn’t think he needs to tell me too.

“In the morning, a few hours ago,” he showed little to no care after changing the whole plan. I get what he was trying to do, the same exact thing why Maynard wanted to take me first.

I didn’t want to argue because neither of them was my problem.

“So when are you dropping me to his pack?” now that Hans had left us alone, I asked Lazlo.

“Whenever I feel better,” he replied in the same casual and carefree tone.

“That won’t be necessary because I have come to collect what is mine now,” we were both surprised at the voice from beside us. Maynard was standing with a guard, carrying a smile across his lips.

Seeing him after 10 days felt so good even when I didn’t like his actions.

“What are you doing here?” Lazlo staggered up on his feet, displaying all the mentions he didn’t display before.

“I have come by to pick up my mate,” he smirked when making eye contact with me. I rolled my eyes and shook my head at them. He really traveled hours because he didn’t like losing control over me?

“You didn’t have to. I would have dropped her at your border myself,” Lazlo lied, I have realized he had no plan to let me go anytime sooner but Maynard was also as stubborn as he was.

To think these two were so busy snatching me from each other and Thiago didn’t even give a single fuck actually upset me.

“So, all set to go?” Maynard eyed the guard to pick collect my bags and fill them in his car.

“By the way, hey Miss Omega!” Maynard strolled around and then stopped right when he was near my chair. He playfully bowed down to greet me.

“Hey yourself,” I got up from my seat and let out a sigh. Over to a new pack and new troubles.

I bet Lazlo was upset that he missed the chance of spending a few hours on a car ride with me. He couldn’t even properly say goodbye to me because Maynard was not letting him come closer to me.

“Thank you so much for entertaining me here. I really enjoyed my time in your pack,” I still managed to walk past Maynard and approach Lazlo. The moment we held hands together, the grim formed on Maynard’s face faded away.

“It was a pleasure having you around too. You really changed everything for the better,” Lazlo’s hands were turning red, I was able to feel the warmth of them.

“Please take care of yourself,” I said and just when I was about to free my hands, he held onto my one hand and pulled something out of his pocket for me.

“What is this?” I could see a blue box with a ribbon on top of it but I didn’t understand why he was giving it to me.

“A little thanks to everything you did for me,” he was genuinely thankful because he hadn’t stopped thanking me these past few days after every few hours.

*No problem, and thank you,” I didn’t open it in front of him because I guessed he wanted me to see whatever was inside once! was in Maynard’s pack or else he would have gifted it to me way before.

After I met with the pack members, I got inside Maynard’s car and could already tell he was not at all very happy.

Once I was in the car and he hit the road, I opened the box and found a gold chain with stars hanging down. It was incredibly cute and beautiful.

I didn’t waste a minute before putting it on and not acknowledging somebody else was watching me from the rearview window.

“Wow! you were quick to accept his gift,” he commented with a scoff, and what was all that holding hands and ‘You take care’ No, you take care,” he mimicked our tones but lowered the pitched, indicating he was annoyed with us.

“Well, there are some things kids should stay away from,” since he was being cocky, I decided to act on it too.

“Ah! It seems as if his attention turned you into something you are not. The whole savage queen attitude doesn’t suit you. You are better off shivering and sobbing in the corner of the dorm room.” that mockery didn’t do anything to me.

I knew what I was, he just didn’t know yet.

“Well if that satisfies your ego,” I shrugged my shoulders and he let out a grunt.

“So, tell me what did you two do all these days?” as he kept driving, I saw his veins becoming visible. He was really not interested in wanting to know how I spent my time with Lazlo, he just wanted to make sure we didn’t do more than what we were supposed to do.

“It was fun actually,” I replied, leaving it open for his imagination.

“Define fun.” He grunted, one could tell he was trying his best to sound calm and cool but was failing at the same time.

“Umm! We went to bars, attended carnivals, and even house parties,” I smiled when remembering how fun it was spending time with his pack members. They were the most fun of a pack ever.

“Ah! So in simple words, he was copying me to impress you,” that chuckle and jeering tone he used smelt of pride and overconfidence.

“What? you are not the only one who parties, you do realize that, don’t you?” I bet my statement pissed him off because his facial expressions hardened only and the rest of the ride went by silently. We did make some stops to eat but he would sit outside while I munch alone in the car.

Now that we have finally arrived at his pack, I confirmed my butt had gone numb.

We got out of the car together watching Lord Gray and his Luna standing beside him. The looks on their faces were stern and gave hints of arrogance but one should not judge a book by its cover.

“Hey!” Maynard approached them and hugged the two a little. There was no affection or enthusiasm on both sides but maybe it was because he had already met them and left for a few hour’s ride to pick me up?

“So you finally took her here,” Mrs. Gray went ahead to speak before I could even shake hands with them.

“Mom! We have talked about it.” Maynard’s mood changed when talking to his mother.

“Then introduce her to us,” Lord Gray spoke up finally when they shut up.

“I am-” I thought maybe he wanted to know of me so I should speak for myself, but oh boy! I was wrong.

“Did I speak to you?” the sudden mood change from his mother made my jaw meet the floor and my eyes stared at Maynard in shock.

They didn’t want me here? Then why hell did he travel so far to bring me to his pack just so that his parents gets to insult me?
