chapter 129 Twenty-Seven

Thaddeus POV

Looking down at my passed-out mate, I watch Ryland climb in beside her. “So, who is going to

tell me who this April is?”

“When we went into the city, we ran into Lana and the foster mother. Everything was fine, but

as soon as Ryland and I got in the car, April the foster mother, whispered something too low for us

to hear. Evelyn won't tell us what she said. I know it was bad because Evelyn's fear hit us through

the bond,” Orion tells me.

“And you let her live?" I ask shocked, they let her just leave and didn't demand an explanation.

“Yes, Thaddeus we can't just kill everyone. I don't think Evelyn would like that. Besides, Lana still

lives with her,” Orion tells me, and I pull my jeans off, climbing in the bed next to Ryland.

“Fine, we can make her tell us tomorrow.”

“What did you find out with Bianca?” asks Ryland.

“Nothing much, but we did find out the name of the people Evelyn was found with.”

“What do you mean?” asks Orion, propping himself up on his elbow looking at me before

looking down at Evelyn.

“Just that they were parents. Autopsy reports proved the woman had given birth recently. Their

names were Michael and Sarah Carter. Other than that, nothing else. They were identified by dental

records. Nothing special about them and they were both human. Also, her father had a criminal

record, so did the mother. Just petty crimes and a couple of drug charges,” I tell them

Evelyn stirs in her sleep and I watch her over Ryland's shoulder. “She would have to be one of

the unluckiest and luckiest people to be alive from that town. Everything was flattened except the

fireplace which she was next to. Bianca thinks that might have been what saved her because when

they dug her out, the crate she was in was completely intact and the roof leaning against the

fireplace directly above her.”

“Are you going to tell her?” Ryland asks looking at me over his shoulder. I nod and he kisses me

softly before going to pull away. I pull him towards me making him roll on his back before kissing

him harder. He groans into my mouth and I am hit with his arousal and apparently so is Evelyn as

she moans in her sleep making me chuckle and pull away to stare at her.

She pouts in her sleep, Orion watching her with a silly smirk on his face. “We should head home

soon, her scent is changing I don't think it will be long before she goes into heat” Orion says

running his nose across her neck, she instantly turns her face seeking him out. I love how responsive

she is to us even when she refuses to be.

“Yeah, mum will be upset, but maybe I will tell her they can visit. It isn’t that far from here”

Orion agrees before pulling the blanket up higher, but she kicks it off again.

“So, are you done?” Orion asks making my eyes snap to his.

“What do you mean?”

“This entire destroy the world shit you been doing. Evelyn won't stick around and watch you do

that shit Thaddeus”

“I know okay, I know but I can't control it”

“Maybe it is time to give it up Thaddeus”

“Fuck you Orion you sound like my bloody parents”

“That's because they are right” he says, annoyed I get up.

“Where are you going Thaddeus?” Orion says following me.

“Why do you have to piss me off for? I was fine until you brought that up. I swear half the time

you are looking to start fight with me” I snap pulling my jeans on. Orion walks over grabbing my

arm, but I shake him off.

“It's not like that. It is just different now we have her. I just don't want her to get hurt”

“Neither do I Orion” I tell him picking up my belt.

“I know" he says grabbing my belt from me. I growl annoyed when he loops his finger through

my belt hole, tugging me against him. His lips crashing into mine and I groan into his mouth before

kissing him back. Orion reaches his hand into my pants wrapping his hand around my cock. I thrust

into his hand before pushing him toward the bed careful not to wake Evelyn. We know Evelyn

doesn't care but still it might shock her if we woke her. Ryland moves her over as Orion sits on the

bed before tugging my jeans down and wrapping his lips around my knob making me grip his hair

wanting nothing more than to ram it in his mouth. I feel his tongue run along my shaft and I moan

before feeling his lips part as he takes me in his mouth.

I thrust into his mouth making him take more of me, Ryland watches but doesn’t move not

wanting to wake Evelyn as she wriggles in her sleep feeling our arousal. Orion moves faster his hand

gripping my hip and I grip his hair when Evelyn moans loudly making Ryland chuckle beside her. I

watch as his hand skims across her exposed belly having ridden up from her squirming. I feel my

balls tighten and Orion sucks harder using his hand to rub what he can't fit in his mouth, my hand in

his hair tightening and I feel my eyes bleed black, turning to onyx. My fangs protruding and I groan

loudly spilling my seed into his mouth. Orion swallows it as my cock twitches in his mouth before he

pulls away and I rip him to his feet kissing him. He groans when my fangs break the skin of his lip

from my savage kiss. He knows my sex drive makes the hunger worse, the darkness worse.

Orion pulls away and I pull my briefs up.

“Go to bed, Thaddeus, and don't eat her please,” Orion says his hand on my cheek. The familiar

sparks of the mate bond soothing me, and I feel my fangs retract. Yawning I hop in bed beside her

and Evelyn rolls into me looking for my warmth. She does smell different; her scent was

overwhelmingly strong, and I have to force the need to feed on her down. Ryland moves closer

pressing his chest against her back warming her and she melts against us, plunging into a deeper

sleep. I hear Orion rustling around in a bag making me look over my shoulder at him.

“What are you doing?” I ask as he pulls a box out of a plastic bag.

“Ryland got her phone, so I was going to set it up. Lana gave Evelyn her number.”

I nod rolling over onto my back. Evelyn moves placing her head on my chest and I hear Ryland

groan making me look at him. A smirk on my face when I realise her ass is pressing against his cock

which I know is hard from the arousal of her movement flooding through the bond.

“So, what is this Lana like, Evelyn seems protective of her?” I ask as I look over at Orion who was

tapping the screen with his fingers

“She seems sweet, maybe fourteen. She called Evelyn Evie. Must be a nickname. Argh I don't

know Evelyn's email to set this up.”

“Just use mine, you can change it later” Ryland tells him. Orion nods and types away.

“Are you coming to bed?” I ask him, making him look up.

“I will until you two falls asleep, then I will probably go inside and see Theo seeing as he

doesn't sleep. Kill the boredom of watching you two snores, might also go buy her some clothes,

Amara is right she has none” he says his lips tugging up into a small smile.

Pulling Evelyn onto my chest, I move over for him an Orion sits next to me. Evelyn moves

draping her legs over either side of me making herself comfortable.

“Your parents really like her” Orion states.

“Wouldn't care if they didn't, she is ours” I tell him.

“I know but it is good she gets along with them. Amara fancies her” Orion chuckles softly.

“What do you mean?” I ask wondering if I need to give my sister a beat down. “She knows

Evelyn is ours and she would never do that to you. Your sister loves you Thaddeus" I sigh.

“I know, just worry someone will take her away from us.”

“I don't think that will happen, the bond is pretty strong Thaddeus and not only that, where

would she go? She may hate the way we control her, but I don’t think she wants to leave she feels

safe with us” Ryland says, and I nod.

“You think she will after she finds out I am the reason her parents are dead, and she ended up

in foster care?” Nervousness comes through the bond.

“She might surprise us, probably be hurt if anything. She didn’t know them so doesn't have an

attachment. Besides what kind of life would she have had anyway with drug addict parents?”

“Yeah, but they probably wouldn't have raped her” I mutter before growling her memories still

fresh in my mind. The things she endured sicken me.

“We will deal with it when it comes, sleep Thaddeus. You don't need to be agitated when you

tell her” Ryland tells me, and I nod closing my eyes.
