Tasting All My Mates

237 Perfect Mate, Wrong Timel

“I don‘t understand,” I whispered to myself, trying to get myself together. The accusations he was making towards Maynard were extreme.

“I didn‘t either,” Marcellus muttered as he tried to hold his breath. “She had his metallic chain in her grip when she escaped him. Even when she died, she had Maynard‘s chain in her fist. He was jealous of his brother for getting all the attention. He wanted everything his brother had. Sadly, my daughter paid for whatever feud the brothers had.” His tears seemed genuine when remembering his daughter Olivia.

It didn‘t look like he was lying to make Maynard look bad, but I was still shocked by his revelations. Could Maynard really be this horrible?

Did I miss all the red flags? Are my mates that sinister?

I was swimming through a sea of thoughts when Marcellus pulled me back to reality with a bothersome cough.

“We figured out from the sea that his demise would be at the hands of his mate. So here you are!” He got up from his chair after he was done telling me everything. I haven‘ t said anything yet. I was too shocked to think of what would come next after such a horrible crime was committed.

“Billy! What did he say?” Marcellus made me frown when asking his son something.

“I gave him a call and a few hours‘ time to decide if he wanted to surrender to save his mate, or would he want us to deliver her head to him?” That cheeky smile Billy passed

gave me goosebumps. Were they going to kill me?
