Tasting All My Mates

Chapter 288

288 He Wants to Mark Me "How are you going to prove Mr. Tripper was committing all those crimes?” I 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 found him 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 like he 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 my mind froze for a moment.

"So you think coercing me into accepting you would change things between us?” I was surprised he even thought that 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 bullshit about 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 shook his 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 of answering me.

“I don’t know.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

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 direction he 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 we have 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 sarcastic chuckle 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 from the 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 my way.

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 anyone without 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.
