Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

394-1 Reject You Alpha King Corbin
I didn't look away even when Shaun kept shouting in pain and crying as they shot arrows at him. Corbin was also there. He had
worn an enormous hat and glasses. I assume it was to cover his eyes. He must be crying for his father. That's the thing. No
matter what they do, there is a part of us that cries when we watch our loved ones in pain. I did cry for my mother, but only
because I was concerned about why she didn't take other people's feelings into consideration. I was upset that my mother turned
out to be so evil.
From an outside perspective, it seemed like justice had been served. But something felt empty. It was the spot that was
supposed to be filled with Thiago. He should have been here to witness his parent's murderer getting punished, but that chance
got stolen away from him when Corbin let Moana into the academy.
"I know you will have nightmares, but I hope you can find peace now," Janet held my hand and walked me out of the ground.
After losing everything, I have become just a human among such powerful creatures. If I saw anything terrifying or if someone
growled at me, I would have nightmares. Just like how a normal human would. Those went into extinction until I became one.
"Have a good night," I wished her, turning around and walking toward the road. Lazio was supposed to send me his car, but
there was nothing there.
"I can be your ride back home." Corbin came from behind me, covered in a black long coat, and his voice was heavy. He must
have cried for hours, and I don't blame him. Watching his father die must be traumatizing for him. I can only imagine how Thiago
must have felt. Well, he couldn't feel anything because my mother stole all the memories from him. She didn't even let him
mourn.
"No! thank you. My mate will be coming shortly," I excused, stepping aside and watching the empty road.
"Enya! I don't understand why you are so angry with me. I didn't even try to stop you from collecting evidence. So what is it that I
did so wrong that you could go with Lazio but not come with me?" He walked closer again, asking me the same question I have
read in his eyes since the beginning of the trial.
"You are going to ask me that? You don't know yourself what you did?" I turned to him, smiling weakly.

"I really don't know what is my fault," He answered, taking off his glasses and exposing his red and swollen eyes. I was right! He
seemed to have gone through a lot of heartaches after his father was convicted.
"The witch you brought into the academy stole my Thiago from me," I shouted the instant I talked about him. I had kept this
anger and heartbreak inside me all this time. I just couldn't find a shoulder so perfect that I could rely on, which I could cry on.
"What?" Corbin frowned. "How was I supposed to know she would cast something like that and he would be dragged away with
her?" He shrugged his shoulders, staring at me and
passing me quizzical stares for hanging onto something that I should have moved on from by now on.
"You knew she wanted to join the academy to speak to Thiago. Her mission was to take him away from me. You just let it
happen," I cried, raising my voice as it felt like years hadn't passed already. I was still standing in that hallway, watching Thiago
sacrifice himself for me.
It was not supposed to happen. He was not supposed to die. I was the one who was supposed to take care of him and sacrifice
myself for him, not the other way around.
"You just need a reason to accuse me of something that was your fault." His tone changed, almost as if he was so exhausted
that he had to yell at me.
"My fault? I didn't —," before I could speak, he silenced me when he answered my question.,
"You opened the portal, the portal that ate him up. You were reluctant to give up your powers, which made Moana bring those
witches back to life. Do you really want me to tell you point by point what you have done wrong? Do you ever sit back and listen
to yourself? You always talk big. It is always the others who make a mistake. When, in reality, you only wanted those powers
because you loved being powerful. You loved being in charge of your mates. Look what happened! You still have a mate who will
treat you better no matter whether you have a wolf or not, yet you are just accusing that mate so that you don't have to face the
guilt." He sputtered everything in
one breath, lashing out at me after he lost his temper.
I stood there in silence, trying to digest what he had just said to me.
"I killed him? Is that what you are trying to say?" I was in shock -broken, maybe.

"Look! I just saw my father getting ---- killed. I am not in my right mind. So forgive me if I said something harsh. But the reality is,
Enya, I didn’t kill your mate. It wasn't me." He scoffed after making himself clear and putting all the guilt on my shoulders.
"I think you were right when you said my mates are assholes. I am not sure about the others, but at least you are one of them." I
muttered after he triggered me. I have been missing Thiago every day, and now he told me that I am the reason Thiago is dead.
I didn't want to kill him. I thought if I gave up all the powers, he would be free. I wanted to die for him, but that didn’t happen.
However, I still did not kill him.
"I, Enya Foster, reject Alpha King Corbin as my mate." It was then it slipped out of my mouth in haste. I was angry and feeling
some type of way, so I didn’t care about the right timing.
Oh, I wish I take back those few seconds of my life when I rejected him on the worst day of his life.
