Chapter 482


    482-They Wouldn’t Let Us Kiss.


    We had broken our sweet kiss after Lazio and Maynard started knocking on either side of the windows


    to remind us we were in the middle of the crisis. Theo looked very annoyed with them, but then kept his


    silence and started driving. Once we had reached the pack, we all rushed over to meet Kellice and


    J.


    ’What is going on?” I asked her the instant I approached her. I tried doing the locator spell on your


    brother, but I couldn’t reach him,” she said, looking all sad and down.


    ‘What? How is that possible? He must be somewhere,” I said, sitting down on the couch in the living


    room, feeling defeated.


    ‘That’s the problem.” Kellice said, “The result I got when I was trying to locate Mother Witch is simr to


    the result I got when locating Oswin.” She exined, making everyone stare.


    ‘So they are together?” Maynard asked, and Kellice nodded.


    ‘And whoever has them is using the same spell.’ Lazio snapped his fingers as he tried backing up


    Maynard’s theory.


    In short, Enya was right. Whoever ising after these people is only attacking the ones who are


    close to Enya,” J pitched in.


    ‘So now what? are they going to keeping after the people I love and care about or what? I sighed,


    muttering as anger started boiling my veins.


    Oh! Then I am safe.’ Lazio’s sigh of exhaustion and taunt made everyone look at him with a frown. He


    knew damn well why I didn’t care about him anymore. I am just sa—,” he paused when he lifted his


    head and stared at the person joining us.


    Valerie stood at the entrance, watching Lazio with teary eyes.


    ‘Vai!” Lazio said, but hecked enthusiasm when watching her. I have been worried about you. You


    weren’t attending my calls, and you didn’t evene home,” she said, nervously rubbing her palms


    together as she walked among the group of people who were here to protect me. I was busy,” Lazio


    grumpily snapped at her. “You didn’t have to show up here,” he told her angrily.


    ‘Why not? I don’t know what’s going on, but what did I do wrong?” She whispered, steadilying into


    the living room andining to him.


    Lazio was stealing eyes from everyone whenmunicating with her. It was as if he was too ashamed


    to be seen with her now.


    ‘We are extremely busy with some stuff. I will talk to you once I have time for you.” He very rudely tried


    dismissing her.


    ‘I can help too,” she forced a weak smile across her lips and looked my way, “I know you see me as a


    mistress you were being mean to you but— I just wanted to be with my mate,” she said, rubbing her


    hands anxiously when talking to me because as soon as she turned to me, Theo, Maynard, J and


    Kellice straightened their backs. She now knew she could not disrespect me.


    “I have no issue with you and him having a rtionship. I am over that phase,” I told her, not even


    looking closely at her.


    ‘Vai! I said I wille around to talk when I have time,” Lazio told her, waving his hand at her to make


    her go away. It was sad how he was the one who led her on, but now she was the one who was all


    alone.


    ‘Oh!” A big tear rolled down her cheek while she started walking away.


    ‘This is what you get for stealing mates,” Jmented at her, making her stop and swirl around to


    face us once again.


    ‘What happened now? Go!” Lazio looked exhausted at her, not listening to him. I just want to clear a


    few things here,” she softly spoke, “please?” Her request made me take a step. I saw how Lazio was


    ring at her and forbidding her from saying another word, but I realized if Lazio could be given a


    chance to speak to us, she should get a chance as well.


    ‘Say what you have to say,’ I said.


    ‘Why? There is nothing to say. She should leave,’ Lazio snapped at me for wanting Valerie around.


    ‘’ I will leave after I say my side, please!” Valerie begged again, making me feel bad for her.


    In no way, shape, or form did I want to dismiss her without listening to her.


    ‘Vai—,’ when Lazio opened his mouth this time, Theo interrupted him.


    ‘Enya has made a decision to listen to her, so let her speak,” he said, pointing at Valerie to get started


    immediately.


    I know I am the mistress who was cruel enough to steal the mate from the Luna of the pack. But-it isn’t


    like I had a choice. I don’t know how it happened or how it was even possible, but it just happened.


    Lazio must have told you about the Valerie he used to date, who left him for his father. Well, I used to


    be in the same circle of friends, but sinceExclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    I didn’t give in to his father’s seduction, I went through some torture. But that’s not what I am here to


    talk about. I am here to exin why I couldn’t keep myself from mati—ng with


    Lazio.’ she took a deep breath, intriguing us to know more of her side.


    The suspense she created with her silence was crazy.


    ‘Because when I met Lazio two years ago, we felt a mate bond,’ she said again, and as she spoke, my


    eyes jumped out of their sockets while Lazio looked defeated.


    ‘We were not chosen mates, we were fated mates,” she imed, making me realize it was supposed to


    be him. My mate bond with Lazio wasn’t even legit. It was created by magic, whereas Valerie was


    always his first mate, who had to wait for so long because of the forged bond he had with me.


    “When we found out, he made me promise not to tell anyone. He wanted us to be known as chosen


    mates because, even when he was angry with Enya, he wanted her to be his fated mate only.” She


    teared up after exining how much she had to face just because her mate didn’t want to ept the


    fact that I was not his real mate.
