Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

Chapter 354
Maynard’s POV:
Christina had fallen asleep during the car ride. Taking her to the pack reminded me of my first vacation in the academy when I
was taking Enya back home. I don’t know what is wrong with me, but I couldn’t help comparing the two. It was crazy because
Enya and I broke up long ago. It was just recently that I couldn’t stop looking at her.
‘Not recently. Remember how you accidentally said things to her in the cabin, and then you lied to Christina, saying that you
imagined her in the morning?’ May disagreed with me. Being a part of me, he didn’t want to believe when I said I loved Christina
more than I had ever loved Enya.
‘Whatever. She has moved on, and so have I.’ I dismissed him instantly.
‘Yeah, but think about it. You are with her, but nothing feels special. With Enya, it was such a competition. Everything made you
jealous. You wouldn’t tolerate anyone looking at her. Sure, you messed up later, but you are once again thinking about her.’ May
was not entirely wrong, though. I did feel special about Enya.
‘Let me ask you something. You have dated a few girls in your life. It is your habit to slip and cheat, but do you ever want to go
back to your ex?’ He asked, and I couldn’t help but shake my head.
‘Then why Enya? Why do you want to go back to her?’ Now that he was grilling me, I was beginning to see that I
desperately wanted to be with Enya.
‘Hm. It cannot happen, though. She has done a lot for me. I don’t think I can ever leave her. Maybe when I live alone with her, I
will value her more than Enya?’ I asked May, who let out a chuckle as if to laugh at me.
‘Besides, we should focus on what we are going to do once we reach our pack. We have a lot of things that we need to deal
with,’ I said as I shrugged my shoulders and focused on the road.
It would not be easy for me to look my mother in the eye and tell her that I knew how she had fucked me over. But it was a
much needed thing to do.
‘Oh yeah. Enya will come in two days too, right?’ May brought her up once again, and this time I just ignored him.

We reached our pack in a few hours, but I couldn’t wake her up. I sat there silently because I wanted to think about facing my
mother again.
“Hey!” She woke herself up and said, “We have arrived? Why didn’t you wake me up?” she complained, stretching her neck. and
then staring at my face.
“Don’t worry, I am here with you.” She held my hand and reassured me that she was going to take a stand with me. However,
imagine if Enya were here; she would have pissed off everyone with her sass. I smiled at the thought of her.
“Let’s go then.” Finally, I walked out of the car and entered the mansion, holding hands with her.
“My son!” my mom yelled, running my way to hug me. “How is my son?” she dramatically cupped my face in her hands and
smiled as if she had never seen me before.
“I am great. Dad!” Breaking free from her hands and looking at my father, I walked past her and hugged my father instead. I bet
she was left shocked.
“That is the new mate.” She scrunched her nose up and rolled her eyes. She had known about her and even met her once, but
she was never going to learn to not make the guest uncomfortable.
“Hi, it is nice to meet you two,” Christina being herself, she still passed her a smile and shook hands with my father because my
mother didn’t accept her handshake. I remember Enya being so rough when my mother started treating her wrong.
“So, you are not returning to your pack? Oh sorry! I forgot. You don’t have a pack,” Mom rolled her eyes, pouting at her and
trying to make her feel low.
“Huh!” I scoffed. “You didn’t change one bit, did you?” That was it. I don’t know how I was able to ignore her mistreatment for
years, but Enya taught me to look her in the eye and tell her I didn’t accept her.
You cannot just accept someone after they break your trust and cause you hurt.
“What is that supposed to mean?” Mom instantly caught my words. She has taught me to never raise my voice in front of her, so
it did leave her baffled that I was scoffing and taunting
her.

“Why don’t you guys sit down first?” Dad knew she was a bit hard to deal with. He held my hand and then offered a seat to
Christina first. After we sat down together, I noticed the look mom was passing Christina.
“The old mate was so charming. I mean, no offense to you, but rogues are a bit raggedy.” She grimaced, making Christina hold
onto my shirt tightly.
I felt angered by the way she was bullying Christina, who had been nothing but supportive of me.
“Mom! That’s disrespectful. Apologize to her.” I leaned back. on the couch and folded one leg over the other. My command made
her smile hysterically and then turn to my dad, who looked shocked too, but understood why I wanted her to apologize.
“I said what I saw,” she explained, pushing the shock in.
“That is still rude coming from someone who is so messy herself,” I made another comment, and with every single word, my
heart began to pound louder.
It was just a reminder of how she made my brother feed on me like I was his fucking food. They made my life so miserable. for
years, even when I was a teenager. I wonder why I accepted her. Was I that desperate?
“Maynard!” Dad finally disagreed with me.
“I bet she had prepared him well.” Mom looked at Christina, who had no clue why she was targeting her.
“No! You prepared me well. Perhaps! I need to remind you how.” The words were enough to make her realize she had lost her
control over me.
