Tasting All My Mates By Alexis Dee Chapter 280
280 The DNA Test
“Zander! We don‘t need your negativity right now. If Thiago is under fire, so are you. Nobody knows ifyou were in the room when this happened,” I yelled at him and then rolled my eyes. Christina was righthere, crying and not opening her damn mouth. If she tells us what happened, all this argument will godown the drain, but no! She has to wait till things turn dirty.
“Why didn‘t Thiago take me with him? If only he had done so, he wouldn‘t be under fire right now,”Lazlo complained. “Those two are treating me like I am useless. I want to be there for them and helpthem.” He picked a very bad time to make it about himself, but I didn‘t argue with him. My head was allover the place, thinking about what the future of Maynard would be now. He shouldn‘t have done that tohimself.
“Is there a way we can save Maynard?” I asked Lazlo, knowing he must know the law better than me.
“If we can prove Mr. Tripper being guilty of something,” he stated, “It has to be huge though.”
“If Christina would just tell us what happened, we could do something,” I said to Lazlo, who was nowstanding in the other corner of the room while Zander consoled his sister.
“What do you think happened? Why was she in his office at this time of night?” Lazlo whispered back tome. There were many questions being raised about Christina‘s character at this moment.
“I am not sure. I didn‘t want to jump to any conclusions, but Maynard had sensed someone‘s scent onher the day we arrived at the cabin.” I remember Maynard being so disturbed that day.
“Do you think Christina and Mr. Tripper maybe were hay–––?” Lazlo didn‘t even want to finish it.Accusing someone of cheating on the basis of nothing was something we needed not to do.
“I don‘t know. I have seen him react in anger when he found out! cheated on him, but that anger onlyresulted in him rejecting me. I don‘t think he is capable of killing someone out of jealousy.” | wanted thereason behind Maynard killing Mr. Tripper to be Mr.
Tripper‘s fault. It is the only way we can save Maynard.
“I mean; it is not like your relationship with him holds any similarity with his relationship with Christina.He is more compassionate and loyal to her. With you, he was bound to feel the mate bond, but withher, he chose to feel it and marked her,” Even though Lazlo was probably right, I just felt it right in myheart.
So he was suggesting Maynard never loved me the way he loved Christina? And why the heck doesthis bother me?
“Do you also feel bound to be with me?” I slid in that question, and he frowned, looking at me butzoning out.
Oh God!
He wasn‘t sure. I made him question his love for me.
“Um–let‘s call Thiago and see if he found Maynard.” I didn‘t even want to stand there and wait for himto respond to me anymore. He had a minute to say he loved me, but instead, he zoned out.
I called Thiago and couldn‘t get in touch with him. It was then that we heard a knock on our door, andwe instantly knew it was time.
“We are here to take Christina Nolac with us!” The cop from outside the door called for her. Christinagasped, holding onto her brother‘s arm and begging him to prevent them from taking her. They had totake her away to record her statement.
“Listen to me,” Zander turned to his sister and cupped her face in his hands, “Just do as I tell you andeverything will be fine.” He was
giving me creeps down my spine by talking like that. What was he planning to do?
“What?” she asked in confusion.novelbin
Zander then drew near her and whispered something in her ear. Lazlo and I just stood there, having noidea what was going on. By the time Zander had finished telling her what she should do, she lookedshocked.
“I don‘t know if it is the right thing to do,” she whispered, tears leaving her eyes.
“Trust me, it is the only way.” Zander was kind of scary. The way he was making her listen to himseemed like he had cooked up some plan and wanted her to take part in it.
“Christina Nolac! We are here for her,” the cops yelled again. They were not going to wait any longer.
We reluctantly opened the door and saw the cops waiting outside the room for us.
“We need to speak to Christina,” they repeated themselves. We had no option but to convince Christinato get dressed and present herself before the cops.
“Hm!” The cop named Wiz looked her up and down and then shook his head with a smirk on his lips,“Is it sex gone wrong?” He whispered in the ear of another cop, making us all pull our faces in disgust.
“Just stay silent,” Zander whispered to Christina once again.
“We will need to do some DNA test on you, missy!” Wiz said as he wrote down something. I noticed theway Christian looked up and
gulped in terror was suspicious.
“Wh–––y?” She stuttered, watching them go through her stuff and shaking in her skin.
“For someone who is punished to spend time here, you are certainly blessed to be carrying so muchwolfbane in your bags,” They were going through her stuff like mad crazy. Zander was standing besideher, his eyes scanning each other‘s every move.
“They are going to find ou—” She was about to say something when Zander pinched her arm andsilenced her.
“We will have a talk about it later.” He uttered to her, making sure she didn‘t say too much.
“Why are you so afraid of the DNA test?” I had to get closer to her to ask her what was bothering her?Why would she be scared of a DNA test?
“That‘s none of your business, Miss. Foster! Stay out of it.” Zander came between us, almost like hewas shielding her from me. At this point, I was afraid Christina was going to blow up when she startedtalking.
