Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

51-As Hard As A Rock

“Oh!” I felt bad now that I knew it was his mother’s trauma that was making her act up.

“She was not at all like that. She used to be very free-spirited. Would always inquire from us if we have felt a connection with anyone? My brother was 5 years older than me. When he turned 18, he brought home a rogue she-wolf that he found wounded on the border of the pack. She claimed she was attacked by some rogue. My mother took her in and even when she saw my brother taking too much interest in her, she didn’t object. She was happy to have my brother fall in love but who knew the rogue had an agenda. She was here at the orders of the Rogue King, Marcellus Von. She was supposed to steal the weapons and report back to her father Marcellus. The night Olivia stole the weapons after fooling my brother into trusting her with his keys to the basement, she got caught by him. In sheer panic, she attacked him. My brother didn’t defend himself because he was afraid he will hurt her and she didn’t spare him because hurting him was something that didn’t break her heart. My brother died when she attacked him with the weapons she stole and even fled away successfully. My mother got all the hate for not being a good mother to the Alpha sons and then it worsened when a seer out of nowhere announced the death of me when I turn 21 because of my mate. It just made my mother go crazy and use everything in her power to stop it from happening. In her head, the best way to prevent it from happening was to not let me fall too much for my mate and also keep her notified about any girl that tries to come too close to me. She was going to choose the mate for me, someone who she can trust,” he hadn’t raised his face when telling me all about his past.

I cannot imagine the pain he must have felt when losing a brother and then watching his mother getting accused of it.

“I feel bad now,” I covered my face with my hands and sighed.

*1 kind of made a mistake by not telling you all this beforehand. Actually, the last time when somebody tried to kiss me, my mother lied about me using the forbidden weapons on the day of my coronation. She said I was using those to celebrate my crowning and that made me get punished. She thought I would be safe in the strict environment of the academy. Little did she know,” he didn’t finish because we both knew how the academy only had rules for the omegas.

“You should speak to her.” I held his hand while sitting beside him. He was radiating the heat of defeat.

I instantly pulled my hand away from his when I acknowledged what I was doing. My brain was picking up energies, I could now tell what emotion the other person was feeling.

“I don’t think that will be a good idea. She needs to move on from that trauma. It is not healthy for her as it is not for me,” it must have taken him a lot to admit this isn’t how they could live for too long.
