Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 153

　　Evelyn’s POV

　　Waking to fingers trailing down my back, rolling over I see Thaddeus laying beside me. I actually thought I dreamt the entire thing. He looked perfectly fine, like nothing happened. I knew I didn’t dream it when he pulls me on top of him.

　　“Don’t ever do that again,” he says his voice shaking, making me look up at him. I could feel his anger through the bond, but it was directed more inward then at me.

　　“I could have killed you, don’t risk your life, not for me Evie” he says kissing my forehead and brushing my hair off my face.

　　“You were dying” I tell him.

　　“I don’t care, promise you won’t do it again” I say nothing, that wasn’t a promise I was willing to make, they keep saying they won’t live without me, but even though we fight I don’t want to live without them, or maybe it was the bond talking but I was certain on that decision.

　　“Evie?” Thaddeus says, his anger bubbling out of him.

　　“No!” I tell him and he growls.

　　“I won’t promise that. You needed help and I helped,” I tell him.

　　Ryland and Orion walk in, Orion tossing Thaddeus a blood bag and he catches it. I sit up watching them as they come into the room.

　　“How long was I out?” I ask.

　　“Not long. You passed out when your arm snapped back into place,” Orion says sitting on the end of the bed before biting into the corner of the blood bag. I scrunch my face up at it.

　　Ryland shakes his head, “You’re grossed out by a blood bag, but have drank our blood and let them feed off you.”

　　“It’s different, looking at it like that, it looks gross,” I tell him.

　　Orion nods. “Because it is, tastes nasty from a bag, but does the job.”

　　Turning to Thaddeus, his eyes were pitch black watching me as he drank from the bag. Looking at his chest, the wounds were healed but they left scars all over his chest.

　　“How come the scars didn’t heal and what happened?”

　　“Not sure, must be whatever was in shrapnel.”

　　“Shrapnel?”

　　Thaddeus nods his head draining the bag squeezing it like a juice box.

　　“Hunters. I went to see my sister. Got to the outskirts of Leven and stumbled across a base of sorts amongst the forest, I was curious so went and had a look when I tripped an alarm around their base, a bomb went off. Those things that you pulled from me were in it, I ran back here. But we need to move, they are a little too close for comfort.”

　　“Why would they have a base at Leven?”

　　“I’m unsure, but I know we were spotted at Parse City. My father said he caught them lurking around the office, even had the security cameras hacked.”

　　“If they know about your family, why haven’t they done anything to them?”

　　“They aren’t after them, my family lives peacefully, they are after me” Thaddeus states.

　　“His family have left town for a while till things cool down. Thaddeus rang them before told them to get out, so they don’t use them against him” Orion says.

　　“But you haven’t done anything in ages why do they want you?”

　　“They have been following us for decades Evie, we weren’t good people” Ryland chimes in.

　　“You mean I am not good” Thaddeus says with a growl.

　　“I have done my fair share of bad shit, Thaddeus you can’t take all the blame” Ryland retorts.

　　“Regardless we need to leave, I think they may know about you now, we can’t risk staying here any longer” Thaddeus says.

　　Orion grabs a suitcase from the wardrobe, and I can tell he has done this plenty of times as he starts grabbing things and chucking them in. Ryland grabs another and starts filling it with my clothes and toiletries.

　　“What right now?” I ask seeing them packing. Thaddeus sits up swinging his legs off the bed before standing. He walks into the bathroom grabbing a few things like my makeup and hair straightener. I go in and help him passing him things knowing his silence meant we were leaving and there was no room for argument, not that I would argue over this after seeing what they did to him.

　　“You have time to shower if you want, we won’t be ready for about half an hour” Thaddeus says, and I quickly strip my clothes off hopping in and turning the taps on. I hear them rummaging around and doing things. I shower quickly before hopping out and I notice one of them left one of their shirts and a pair of my tights on the end of the bed. I quickly dry myself, slipping them on before pulling my hair in a bun only for my hair Tye to snap, quickly ducking in the bathroom I look under the sink retrieving another before grabbing the packet out only to notice the all the pads and tampons under the sink. I stand up pulling my hair in a bun, trying to remember the last time I actually had my period.
