Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

483-Ah! She Is Pregnant.
'I cannot believe you did this to your fated mate. You knew my bond with you was fake because, obviously, Christina had told
you. Then why didn't you come clean to me and accept Valerie?" I was yammering and arguing with Lazio over the past few
minutes.
‘I didn't want to." He didn't even have a valid reason to argue over.
'I would have understood why you didn't want to if you were still in love with me and treating me well. But you were happily
spending time with Valerie, so why didn't you just accept the fact that this is how it is meant to be and reject me? instead of
keeping me along and making me suffer?1’ I growled at him. There were only three of us left in the living room.
The others thought we should resolve this matter in private now. Valerie hadn't said much. In fact, she just stood in her spot with
her head down. Now I realize why she used to be so jealous and angry with me.
'Enya! I didn't stop loving you. I just had a lot of things going on in my head at that time. I was manipulated by Christina, and all
the evidence against you made me drive away from you.’ he yelled back at me, refusing to accept any scenario where rejecting
me was the best option for him.
’Lazio! do you even realize you didn't only hurt me in those two years but made her look like a slutty mistress as well?" I groaned
at him, feeling sort of bad for Valerie. For a girl who had been keeping herself safe for Lazio, when she found out they were
mates, she didn't want to look away from it. She was too happy to back down.
’And the fact that you are already over her is even sadder." I yelled at him and pushed him back.
'I don't know what to say." I just feel like I was never over you. I made those mistakes in anger. I don't even know what I did in
those two years. As every day spent without loving you is meaningless now.’ Lazio said, without fearing the tears of Valerie. She
closed her eyes and sniffled when she heard her fated mate express his undying love forme.
'Lazio! have some sense. You are saying all that in front of her. I don't even think you are capable of loving anyone at this
moment. Look at her. She gave up two years of her life for you. She knew she would look like a bad guy, yet she went along with
the plan." I was in the middle of talking when I felt like she wanted to add something, so I shut up.
’You kept reminding me that we are only chosen mates. And I didn't want to upset you, so at one point, even I thought maybe we
were only chosen mates." She murmured to Lazio, watching him with complaint-filled eyes.

I get it. Whatever you two are saying is not wrong, but what do I do? I am dying inside me. I feel like ripping my head out of my
neck to ruin things with Enya. I don't know what my life will be without her." Lazio muttered, glaring at us for not understanding
his feelings.
‘When I saw you with Theo today, I felt like running over anything that comes my way and snatching you away from him. I am
losing my shit, wondering very soon you will mark him and reject me," Lazio aggressively talked, glaring at us and expressing his
frustration.
I no longer knew what to say to him because everytime I mentioned anything that touched on how we shouldn't be together
anymore, he would lose his shit.
’What about me then? It is not easy for me to stand here and listen to you talk about her with so much love and compassion and
ignore me at the same time. Don't you think you should carry an ounce of guilt for leading me on for two years, saying you don't
feel anything for her and soon we will be together?" Valerie had enough of Lazio’s bullshit. I was glad that she spoke up. He was
totally ignoring her feelings, not even considering her emotions to be anything, and how she was openly expressing her love for
him.
After watching her question, Lazio faced her and nodded. I could already tell he wasn't in the mood to accept her into his life
anytime soon, even he was marked by him now.
"You want to know my answe—," Lazio said, looking deeply into his eyes.
’Lazio! don't do anything stupid," I instantly got in between the two and stopped him from taking a step that would make him lose
his fated mate.
'Any stupid? My stupidity was when I cheated on you, and I am regretting it like anything. I cannot continue my relationship with
her—," Lazio yelled, making Valerie gasp behind me.
No! don—," I argued with him when I stepped back and accidentally bumped into Valerie and knocked her purse down.
I am so sorr—,’ I paused, watching the thing that she tossed out of her purse. She hesitantly knelt down to grab it and hide it
again, but my sharp eyes have already caught it.
'What is that?" I asked her while she shoved her hand in the purse, still holding that thing. She straightened her back and shook
her head at me.

Noth—," she gulped.
'That was a pregnancy test, wasn't it?" I asked, and her eyes traveled to Lazio behind me in worry.
'What?" Lazio gasped, running from behind me and approaching her. "Vai! Are you preg—nant?" He inquired, his breathing
loudly.
I am," Valerie gave up and told us the truth, "I found out in the morning, which is why I wanted to speak to you." She had tears
streaming down her eyes because I believe she didn't expect him to be so easily over her.
Now she was pregnant and had heard her mate express how he doesn't even feel the same for her.
