Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 33

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 33 – I walk to the steps, Eli’s grip on my hand tightening like he thought as soon as the door came into view I would run. That would be foolish knowing Cyrus was directly behind me. Instead, I followed them inside. This house was much different than the one in Soya, and reminded me of a log cabin just a little bigger.

It had Slate floors and exposed beams and a modern rustic feel to it, vastly different from the way they presented themselves in the office. I followed them into the kitchen and Cyrus pulled out a stool.

“Sit” He says, and I do, leaning on the black marble bench top. Cyrus makes himself busy making coffee, while I look around from my seated position.

“This place is different from your place in Soya,” I tell them.

“We prefer Soya, less people and further out” Eli says, and I nod.

“We can’t let you leave now, not now that you know what we are”

“Why? Even if I did say anything people would think I had lost the plot, I don’t even think my mother would believe this” I tell him. They say nothing but look between each other before Cyrus hands me a cup.

I sniff it and Cyrus raises an eyebrow at me.

“I didn’t poison it if that is what you’re wondering” I shrug,

“I wouldn’t be surprised if you did, I just watched him turn into a dog” I tell him and Eli growls. I roll my eyes sipping the coffee.

“Werewolf” Eli says.

“Same Slight difference, you got a tail and fur” I tell him. He seems thoughtful for a second and Cyrus chuckles.

“So, you are both werewolves?” I say the words sounding insane just leaving my lips.

“No, I am different” Cyrus states, making me look at him.

“How so?” I ask, to me they both look human until one started sprouting fur and growling. I kind of wish I didn’t know now, it seemed easier being oblivious to what they are, now my head was swimming with questions and fear of my d***h.

“He is a vampire,” Eli says like it is no big deal.

“I would say that is crazy but after what I just saw” I shake my head losing my train of thought. They both watch me making me feel uncomfortable.

“Wait so you k**l people?” I ask suddenly creeped out I have seen Dracula and him saying that now just made more terrified than being ripped apart by Eli.

“No, I get blood from Eli” He asks, cocking his head to the side watching my face. I let his words register.

“Does it hurt?” I ask him. Eli smiles.

“Of all the questions you wonder if it hurts, to be bitten by a vampire?” He asks, shaking his head.

“No, Addie it doesn’t hurt, the opposite actually” Eli answers.

“Anymore questions?” Cyrus asks. I did have one but kind of childish to ask. I look at Eli and he rolls his eyes like he knew what I was going to ask.

“Go on spit it out”

“What?”

“You’re too embarrassed to ask something, so I am assuming it’s something I am going to find hilarious” He states.

“How do you know though?” I ask and he rolls his eyes.

“That mark on your neck, I feel what you feel” He says, and my hands instinctively go to it.
