Tasting All My Mates

263-19 Might Get Steamy Ever since Maynard told me he found an unknown scent on Christina, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

It must have happened recently for her to still have the scent on her.

I remember when she walked into the room, her top was all messed up.

Could it be that she was someone else while we thought she was in Mr.

Tripper's office? "You have been so silent this entire time," Christina whispered, smiling at the others at the same time.

We finally attended the dinner she had planned with her brother for Maynard.

They actually set everything up in the cabin itself.

"Are you and Lazlo having trouble?" she asked, trying to connect with me.

"No! it is just a bit uncomfortable coming back here," I didn’t lie.

I was uncomfortable with so many things occupying my head.

As for Lazlo, he hadn’t been very talkative.

I guess he finally understood his tongue got him in a lot of trouble.

"Hey!" Zander brought attention to himself when he raised a glass.

“We all know why we are here tonight.

It is to honor my sister and her mate." He pointed at Maynard, who gave him a forced smile.

Obviously, he was still thinking about Christina and what he had felt earlier with her.

"When I first heard she wanted him as her chosen mate, I wasn’t on board with the plan.

I thought she was rushing and not looking around for other options.

I mean, I knew who could be a better mate for my sister than an Alpha, but he had cheated on his mate around that time.

So I wasn't sure if I could trust him with my sister.
