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 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.
“Why tonight? Why not just do it now?” I didn’t understand why he was now delaying. He was so curious and
impatient back at the police station. What made him change his mind?
“What is so special about nighttime?” I asked out of curiosity. If he was planning something, there must be a reason
behind it.
“Well, my sweet, crazy mate, tonight is a full moon night. It is a sort of blessing to mark your mate on the full moon.
Besides, midnight is in two hours. Why are you rushing?” I never knew he was so crazy about the traditions.
“Can you at least check up on my mates?” I asked, bringing up my mates once again, and he didn’t look very
pleased this time.
“I don’t know if you are trying to make me jealous or whatever, but it’s working.” He grumpily commented before
he held his phone in his hand to call my mates.

focused on my mates and their well-being
the windowsill and gazing out the window.
“I am sorry! I was just being petty. I was right there with you but all you were focusing on them,” he jumped on the
windowsill and sat down opposite me.
“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.
