Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee Chapter 288

288 He Wants to Mark Me "How are you going to prove Mr. Tripper was committing all those

crimes?"! was interested in learning more about him.

He said confidently, he will save my mates.

So I just gave up on anger.

I mean, Maynard was not my mate anymore, but I did care about him as a friend.

"I will need to grab some files.

I heard my father talk to him once.

Mr. Tripper has some recordings in his possession.

It won’t be hard for me to grab them," He said, "For you." His tone changed when he added that

part.

"Hm," I closed my eyes to give it a thought.

"And what do you expect to get in return from all this?" I opened my eyes and foundhim staring

at my face in shock.

"You are one intelligent girl. Gosh! No wonder you have me so whipped for you." The way he

smiled and bit his tongue, I felt likehe got some pleasure from me demanding answers from

him.

"So, I was right. You are expecting something." I nodded to take notes mentally.

If I know him correctly, there is no way he would do anything without some personal gain.

Which is why the fact that he was adamant about helping me made me think he must have had something in his

mind that he wanted from me.

"You!" He suddenly stopped smiling and said, while deepening his eye contact with me, "I want you back, Enya." He

repeated himself, and mymind froze for a moment.

"So you think coercing me into accepting you would change things between us?" I was surprised he even

thoughtthat was possible.

He looked so honest for a moment there, but then lost all the chances of redemption when he used my miserable

state to get something out of it.

"I know I won’t get the same respect and love your other mates get, but at least it will be a start.

I won't ask for much; I just want you.

Is it a crime to love someone and want to be with them?" He repeated the same bullshitabout being in love with

me.

"So if I don’t accept you, you won’t help me. Am I saying it right?" I asked, and tapped my foot on the floor.

"You are not right. I will still help you, but I won’t help your mates. I don’t have that big of a heart to help someone

who gets to be with my mate while I suffer." He shookhis head at the thought of me accepting all my other mates

but him.

He had put me in a difficult situation.

We have been sitting in this office for an hour, awkwardly waiting for the other one to change their mind.

"It appears as if your meeting is nowhere near ending. I will head out with the cops to arrest that boy who admitted

to murdering Mr. Tripper." Pierce unplugged the headphones and marched towards us to tell us what his plans were

now.

"But you need to check Mr. Tripper’s background, too." I argued, watching Pierce shake his head.

"I don't think there is anything suspicious about him. I checked his social media accounts. There is no suspicious

activity." Pierce grabbed his files and tucked them under his arm, surprising me with his way of doing his job.

Corbin lowered his face in response to my quizzical glares.

So he was pretty stubborn about making me his.

"Before you go grab him, can I please get some time?" I requested Pierce, who stole a glance at Corbin instead

ofanswering me.

"I don't know. Do your thing. Just make sure before trying to send her to the lab, you remember she is my mate and

the future Luna Queen.” Corbin made it clear in which directionhe wanted to help me if I was not accepting of him.

"Alright." Pierce nodded.

"Mr. Pierce! Are you sure we are not doing anything about that other boy? The girl made pretty hard claims of

seeing him kill Mr. Tripper,” Wiz, who ran into the office, spoke in Pierce’s ears, but we were able to hear him all

fine.

"What other boy?" Corbin seemed lost.

He must not have heard the whole thing when he came over.

"There are two suspects. One admits to murdering Mr.Tripper while the other is accused of killing Mr.Tripper. It is a

mess.” Pierce, once again, didn't bring up Thiago's name directly.

But it did raise Corbin’s curiosity.

"Who is this other boy?" Corbin asked, and I uncomfortably shifted in my chair.

Unfortunately, Corbin caught me looking all uneasy.

"One of her other mates," Pierce responded and then let out a sigh, "It is a shame wehave to

wait before he sends her to the la—,” his words stuck dry in his mouth when his eyes landed on

Corbin, who looked like he was going to snap at any moment.

"I believe you didn't hear me when I said you could not take her away." That little

sarcasticchuckle from Corbin reminded me of him losing his temper at school.

Whenever he felt threatened, he would laugh uncomfortably and then react without thinking

about the circumstances.

"Corbin! Let him say what he wants to say. We need to discuss things," I voiced to get his

attention.

"Corbin!" I called out for him again when I noticed his veins popping visibly around his neck.

"I am sorry. I guess I talk too much and it's unnecessary too," Pierce laughed uneasily, stepping

away fromthe angry Alpha King.

"Corbin!" I said, "Look at me," as I raised my voice, I was able to make him break eye contact

with Pierce and look myway.

It was then that his expression softened and a smile of comfort crept over his lips.

My body shuddered, not because I felt affection for him, but because I feared the worst.

Please don’t be one of my cursed mates that I have to take care of.

"As she said, give us some time before you go arrest the boys," Corbin told Pierce, who looked

even more upset now that he couldn't even arrest anyonewithout our permission.

Once Pierce stepped aside from us, Corbin nodded his head to hear me out.

"Fine, I am ready to surrender, but you have to first save my mates," I confirmed.

I would do as he says.

He let out a deep sigh of relief and smiled miserably.

I was perplexed as to how and where he had suddenly appeared, but I needed assistance right

away.
