Chapter 475


    475-The Fake Mate Bonds.


    “ I am so sorry for walking around your mansion like that. Christina fell asleep really early because she


    was not feeling well, but I couldn''t blink an eye. So I thought, why not make myself some coffee?”


    Emelia had sat down with us in the living room after we found her wandering around.


    "You are not going to ask me why she was sick?* She then turned to Maynard and asked him very


    bluntly. I noticed how arrogant she looked with the way she kept raising her brow and scanning


    everyone. The ck silk nightgown she wore sat perfectly on her figure. She was incredibly gorgeous.


    There was no lie in that. But That wasn''t why I kept looking at her. She reminded me of someone, or


    maybe I have seen her before. I don''t know.


    "I hope she feels better soon,* Maynard answered, slouching and resting his elbows on his thighs while


    rubbing his face in his hands, defeatedly.


    I could look at Maynard and tell this mother and daughter had exhausted him.


    m not really the caring type." Once Maynard realized she wasn''t looking away from him, he


    exined. The judgmental stares she was passing him were making me ufortable. But Theo had


    made sure he didn''t leave my side. He had wrapped his arm around my back and pulled me over his


    chest while we sat on the couch together.


    I have noticed Emelia passing us res once or twice, but she hasn''t spoken directly to us so far.


    ‘That exins why you have been checking on this girl every two seconds, making sure she is fine.’


    Emelia faked a smile when pointing at me. My body shuddered when she called me out like that, but


    Theo''s gentle tap around my backforted me.


    ‘She lost her friend just a few hours ago. Besides, she had been my best friend for a very long time, so


    it is natural for me to check on her." Maynard instantly uncovered his face and retorted.


    ‘I see. Well, in my time, alphas used to value their mates more than their friends. Ah! Times have


    changed." Her taunting tone was really nasty. I don''t know how she was able to act like she had been


    around for years.


    ‘But from what I know, you are not even a werewolf, so how would you know anything about the sacred


    bond the mates share?"


    Theo smiled at her, making her look his way, and then keep looking for a moment before she looked


    away.


    "Wait, I don''t think we have been introduced properly." After ruining the first impression, she smiled at


    us and held her hand up.


    ‘Hi, I am Emelia. I am Christina''s mother and a witch.* She had a weird taunt in her voice when calling


    herself a witch.


    m Theo, and this is my beautiful mate and Luna, Enya!" Theo went ahead and introduced me as


    well. "And that’s Maynard," he purposely taunted.


    “Oh, I know my son-inw,” Emelia cracked a smile, giggling when talking to Theo.


    ‘You do? Oh! I thought you wouldn''t, since you weren''t around much. May I inquire as to where you


    have been all these years?”


    Theo asked her directly this time. I knew he was itching to start questioning her, and her wanting to


    know about us gave Theo that advantage.


    "I was hiding." Without any hesitation, Emelia responded with honesty, "You know the previous alpha


    king didn''t like the witches and warlocks. So I had to lie low and miss all the beautiful memories I could


    have created with my babies, but thanks to Enya! after she took care of that asshole and proved herself


    to be the best example of why witches are not bad, I am allowed toe out and meet my daughter


    again,” she said, making me realize it was all my fault then.


    ‘Speaking of sacred bonds,” instead of continuing with her own topic, she bounced back to another


    one.


    ‘I remember Enya’s mother used to be a witch as well,” she said, watching Lazio walk into the living


    room with a coffee tray. He had offered to prepare coffee for us, specifically for me. I didn’t want to


    argue with him, so I let him. I have lost a very good


    friend and somewhere along the lines, I couldn''t help but think maybe I am responsible for what


    happened to Marko.


    ‘Of course, you have heard of her," I finally said, epting the coffee mug that Theo offered me.


    ‘I do; how can I not? She was the reason I was kicked out of my own coven. The coven I have worked


    so hard for,” she sighed, taking a sip from the coffee and closing her eyes to admire it.


    "Wow! You make such perfect coffee,’ she told Lazio, watching him sit from across the table and keep


    staring at me.


    ‘I try," Lazio answered, bobbing his head down.


    ‘Weren''t you all Enya''s mates at some point in your life?’ The smile Emelia gave was something I


    would never forget. Of course, her daughter must have filled her in. So she was now bringing it out for


    me to suffer.


    We are," Lazio said, confidently looking back into her eyes.


    ‘But Maynard is no longer here." Emelia reminded Maynard, who didn''t hesitate to give a head nod at


    Lazio, calling them my mates.


    "Of course, the fake bonds can neverst for too long." Herment didn''t only surprise them, but it


    also turned my attention towards her. Fake bonds?" I asked.


    ‘Oh! Obviously, you don’t know. Your mother created a spell to bind you all together so that the alphas


    could suffer taking care of you.” her words swirled my world around. I kept watching her face in shock


    and anger.


    What happened to the mate bonds I felt with all of them?

    ‘I don''t get it. The Moon Goddess made us mates." I smiled awkwardly, feeling tears appear in my eyes


    when trying to convince myself that my rtionship with my mates is not a one big lie.


    ‘I feel sorry for you if you think that is true. All your bonds with your mates were created by magic to


    make the alphas suffer," she confidently imed, making my heart drop in my chest.
