Tasting All My Mates

348-Suffering Silently

H a Vouchers The moment I remembered that hidden memory and why I had dreamed about the woman cursing Thiago, my heart sank in my chest. I couldn’t even utter a word or walk inside the room to inspect it.

“Wow! That’s a weird color,” Maynard said, walking past me to enter the room and then looking around. “There is noth ing here. But why is the color so red, and what is all this mark ing on the floor?” he frowned, probably confused at what kind of messed up work my mother was doing here.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if my mother had done something for Zander to turn out like that. Is it why I was given so many mates? Did she mess up everyone and then the Moon Goddess gave me them as a mate to punish me? Maybe

it is a redemption point where I have to help my mates?

“Um! What is happening to you?” He must have seen me cry, because he ran after me out of the room to check on me. I shook my head one last time before I turned around and sprinted out of the room like crazy. He followed me, and once! was in the front yard, I broke down.
