Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 57

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 57 – Eli Colten POV

I could feel Cyrus disapproval as he watched me watching her, the phone in my pocket felt like it was burning holes in it, I was livid that she would even try to keep in contact with him. I know she doesn’t feel the bond as strong as us, but it still felt like betrayal to me. It was lucky Cyrus heard her hiding something, or we may never have known, and a phone was one of the easiest things to track to our whereabouts even a burner phone, harder to trace but not impossible and the hunters organisation was well equipped and advanced with technology.

I walked out of the kitchen leaving her with Cyrus, I could feel his eyes on me as I walked out of the room going to the shed. I grab the hammer about to smash the phone when Cyrus walks in.

“You sure that is wise?” He asks.

“You should be with Addie” I tell him before smashing the phone and grabbing a bucket. I fill it with water from the sink in the corner of the shed before dropping the phone in it.

“You trying to control her, will only push her away. You need to trust her, how do you expect her to trust us when you don’t trust her”

“Well if you would mark her it wouldn’t be a problem, and I wasn’t hiding a phone to contact an old lover” I retorted, annoyed that he was refusing without her permission.

“I want her to want me on her own terms, I won’t force her. But you cutting her off from everyone will make her want to run” Cyrus snaps at me.

“And if he tells her then what, I won’t have her running around with the likes of a f*****g hunter Cyrus, one she is in love with”

“She doesn’t love him, just thinks she does,” Cyrus says, pinching the skin between his eyes in frustration.

“Through The bond it sure feels like she is in love with him to me”

“Did you ever think maybe she wants him because you told her she can’t have him?” He says, making me look at him.

“Let her figure it out herself,” He says.

“So you are happy for her to be with him, just give her up?”

“I’m not giving her up, but I won’t force her, we forced her here already, the bond will kick in with or without me marking me her. We f****d up by making a big deal out of Sam and it has made her curious”
