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”
