Tasting All My Mates

Chapter 432

432-Pushed Me Down

I felt a weird, bitter taste in my mouth even when the drug was injected into my neck. Corbin was still holding me by my arms when he pulled me over his chest to support my body and keep it from falling. His scent filled my nostrils, and my muscles contracted.

He drew his face into my neck and whispered, “I realized chasing after a she-wolf is just a fool’s errand. My father did it, and look where it got him. So I will do what will promise me a long, lasting, and powerful life, And while doing so, I will need your help,” he said, pulling his head away from me and then smirking.

I realized I was no longer feeling drowsy. It was so scary when I realized my head was instantly back in the right place.

“I am sorry, but some triggering needs to be done,” he whispered, and then I watched him push me back. Everything was happening in such a scary way that my world turned slowly for a moment. I watched him slowly push me down, and my body fell back. The space between us grew as I went down. My body slammed against the hard surface, and that’s when I felt the pain. A striking pain ran from my head to my entire body, and tears streamed down my cheeks. My body was hurting; my sight was turning blurry, but I kept my eyes on the top of the staircase.

Corbin stood there with a smile on his lips, and then he gestured at his guard for something. Soon I found my body getting dragged out of the mansion brutally. I wanted to whimper and let out a cry, but there was no use. I couldn’t let out a s*b. I lost a lot of blood after hitting my head.

The guard left me on the side of the road and went back inside. I moved a muscle, fighting to get up, when I heard footsteps approaching me.

“Oh, sh*t!” Marko appeared in my sight when hunching on top of me. “I need to take you to the hospital.” He sounded panicky when he pulled his arms under my body and picked me up in his arms. He rushed me to the back of his car and started driving crazily.

I passed out after I couldn’t take it anymore. I am thankful to Marko for being there for me. Not only did he take me to the hospital, but he also took care of me and stayed beside me in the hospital. I woke up a few hours later and found out that Lazlo had come after being informed of the situation, but later I passed out again until finally waking the next day.

“She will need care and rest until she heals completely,” the doctor said as he discharged me. I insisted on going back to the mansion and continuing my treatment there. There was so much that Corbin disclosed to me last night that I couldn’t stay at the hospital and not worry about Janet.

Lazlo helped me walk up to the car, and soon our journey back home began. The doctor added some vampire blood to the medicine to help me heal better. A few drops were enough, but those few drops couldn’t help me with the blood loss, only the wounds have healed.

“So Corbin pushed you downstairs?” Lazlo asked, driving the car and slowly grunting.

“That’s what I told you,” I uttered under my breath after feeling tired of telling him the same thing repeatedly.

“But why did you go to him? Why not come to me and talk to me about it?” He almost raised his voice until he closed his eyes and calmed down.

“You were at work,” I said. He could hear the complaint in my voice.

“Just like always. I understand you never used to ask me to take a step before, but you are not that strong anymore, Enya. You should call me first before walking into a deadly situation like that.” HeContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

scoffed as he shook his head and kept driving home. It was 6 p.m., so the darkness had engulfed the surrounding area with the dark clouds covering the sky.

“So, what are we going to do now?” I asked, turning a little to look at him.

“We will go home and put you to rest. Don’t worry about the dinner; I will order something,” he whispered as he ignored what I really wanted to know from him.

“Lazlo! I mean about Corbin. He is clearly up to something. He said something about triggering me. Oh! He also injected something into my body,” I uttered, sounding frustrated. I watched him roll his eyes and instantly got the answer.

“If you stay at home and don’t visit him, you will be fine. So, let’s stick to doing that,” he said, sounding tired as always whenever I suggest we do something regarding any serious matter.

“You want me to look away from this matter? Lazlo! He is forcing Janet to accept him–,” I haven’t even added the last part because a scoff from Lazlo’s lips silenced me.

“And that is the problem. You do realize people can’t chase after you all the time, right? They will fall in love with others and eventually get over you. It is time that you get over it,” he answered and parked the car.

“So we are not doing anything?” I refused to get out until he answered me. It has been like that. Every time I am talking to him, he runs away from me.

“Enya! We are not some teenagers on a mission to save the world. Let’s keep this energy for our pack only.” With those words being said, he opened the door to get out when his phone started ringing. He spared a glance at the caller ID and then sneakily answered the call, rushing out of the car.

“Valerie! It was her,” I said, coming out of the car to stare at him. He spoke to her for only a minute before hanging up the phone and approaching me.

“Why was Valerie calling you at this time?” I asked, with my arms folded over my chest.
