Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 34

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 34 – I follow Eli to the car, he refuses to let me drive so I climb in the passenger seat clipping in my belt. The entire drive home was awkward and silent.

“I don’t get it, how come Sam doesn’t have to be guarded for knowing what you are?” I ask as we pull onto my street. Eli growls but says nothing.

“How does he know?” I wonder out loud.

“Doesn’t matter you won’t be seeing him again” Eli says, parking the car.

“You can’t tell me who I can and can’t see” I tell him reaching for the door handle when he pulls me back.

“You are ours Addie, you won’t be going near him or I will k**l him”

“Whatever, what are you going to do, give him fleas?” I spit back at him. He growls, grabbing my arm and pulling me closer.

“You would do well not to provoke me Adde, if I had my way you would be locked in our house in Soya so do well to remember that” He says before letting me go. I get out of the car shutting the door and heading for the door.

I hold my hand out for my keys but he doesn’t hand them to me instead unlocking the door before stopping and turning to me while I glare at him.

“Lose the attitude, or I will take you home, so which is it?” He says gripping my chin and forcing me to look at him. I fight the urge to roll my eyes.

“Like I thought, now quiet everyone is asleep” He says pushing the door open. I walked in and the house was in complete darkness. Eli grabs my hand walking through the house with ease toward my bedroom before opening the door.

“That you Adeline?” I hear my mother call out from her room down the hall. I walk to her door opening it.

“Yeah ma” I tell her.

“Taylor has been up a few times, I gave her some sleeping pills. Maya knows she is here” My mother says tiredly.

“I can stay up with her” I tell her, but my mother shakes her head.

“No, she leaves, she leaves. Honestly, I am just tired of it, we can’t help if she doesn’t want help. We will see how she is in the morning if she hasn’t snuck out” She says.

“Ada?” I hear Maya’s soft voice behind me as she walks down the hall rubbing her eyes cuddling into her plushie.

“Hey did I wake you?” I ask her and she nods as I pick her up.

“Is Mr Eli staying here?” She yawns.

“Eli is here?” My mother asks and he pushes the door open slightly giving her a wave.
