Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 290

290 A New Mate And A Deadly Desire

“Are we going to have dinner here? Ah! Mama dear is going to make us her special pasta, right Vinona?” Corbin hadn’t changed a bit. He was still the same dude who would piss off everyone around him. The only thing that changed was that he was not being rude to me, at least not right now.

“Give me that.” He then walked past Elaine and snatched the TV remote out of her hand and jumped on the couch. The mother and the daughter were still in shock when I sat down on a separate couch. I wanted to talk to Corbin about helping my mates already, but not in front of these two.

I didn’t even have my cellphone to check up on my mates. I was so damn worried about them. They must be worried as hell about me as well.

“Would you two please give us some space? I need to have a word with my mate,” I said as I excused myself from the two of them. They shared a look and then reluctantly walked away. Hearing me call him my mate must have made him too happy. Because Corbin turned to me and smirked.

“I like it when you call me your mate,” he commented, switching between the channels and acting childish.

“I am just so shocked,” I said.

“About what?” He put the remote down to look my way and pay full attention to me.

“It’s been more than a year since all that mess happened. One would expect some growth, but you are the same.” I teased, and his smile faded a little bit before he chuckled to himself.

“The fact that you remember me so well just makes me so happy.” He shrugged his shoulders in pride.

“When are we going to help my mates? I want to speak to them and find out what is going on over there.” I was anxiously missing those fools. Being around them 24/7 had kind of made me addicted to them.

“Hm! Look, I promised the cops I would not break any rules when I brought you here. This and delaying any arrest is already doing us favors. I cannot get you in contact with anyone outside this house. But I can assure you that the moment the marking is done, I will grab my hands on Mr. Tripper’s secrets and free your mates of any charges. As for you, I will need to mark you so that I can secure you from the crazy lab guys.” He was no longer smirking and was now trying to explain things better to me.

“Fine. So let’s just mark it and get over with it.” I felt his eyes scanning me when I said those words. It was awkward asking him to mark me, but he was happy every time that topic was brought up.

“We can do that tonight.” He said while grabbing the remote once again.

“I just want them to be fine,” I confessed.

“And they will be. I promise you, after the marking is done, I will help them and you.” Corbin sounded genuine, but I just couldn’t be too sure.

“By the way, I forgot to tell you something else. When mates mark each other on a specific full moon, their wolves lose a tad bit of control and they end up mating.” He said it casually, but even he knew it was a fucked up piece of information that he kept from me until the night had arrived.

“What?” I raised my voice in shock.

“Hey, I just wanted to let you know so that you can be prepared. I already ordered condoms, just in case, you know.” He shrugged as if it wasn’t a big deal, but he just did what he always did, lie to get into bed with me.
