Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

"I don't know how that will save me." I wasn't very comfortable letting everyone bite me. He wanted it done by tonight, so I might wait a few days after I think through the idea. That was too soon. Not to mention, I was already looking for ways to reject Zander and not feel weak, and here was Thiago suggesting I should let them all mark me.

"It is the only way to protect you. If too many mates have marked you, you will be able to fight through the monster's compulsion. Think about it this way: he somehow marks you and tries to control you. You will still have a part of you that will listen to your mates." He sounded very serious about his plan.

"I can always break his compulsion. Jessica did and listened to you." I recalled how easy it was for Thiago to make her believe he was the monster. She even shut down the mind-link for him.

"Actually, that’s what she made us think." The revelation from Thiago left me gasping.

"What do you mean by that?" I inquired since now that the monster would be preparing to attack me, I needed to get as much information as I could.

"Enya! Just trust me, okay?" Thiago kept the truth to himself for now and asked me to follow his lead. "Would you let us mark you?" he asked.

I saw the look on his face. He wasn’t very happy about the whole marking thing; it seemed. He was just doing it to make sure I remained safe.

I answered, "I would," just because I wanted him to know I trusted him. And I will follow his lead without asking any more questions.
