Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 161

　　Evelyn POV

　　I could hear their voices around me yet all I could see was darkness and the occasional flickering of lights above me. I knew I was on some sort of trolley, felt the movement and jostle of the gurney they had me on, yet all I could think of was the pain. My insides being ripped to shreds and I had no control over it, my body jerking, and I could feel the savage movements of her trying to rip her way out of me.

　　“Hold her down” I hear a feminine voice yell before I feel gloved hands grip onto me, panic coursing through me as I try to thrash unsuccessfully. Coughing uncontrollably as I feel warm liquid leave my mouth and run down my neck choking me, I was choking on my own blood, my lungs burning for air.

　　“Just cut it out, she is as good as dead anyway” I hear a male voice talking calmly as if the very person they were effectively killing wasn’t laying and writhing in pain below them. The coldness seeping into my bones as I feel my life draining from me painfully slow.

　　“Once the baby is out, take it to the lab. I want its blood, then we need to move before its father comes looking for her.”

　　“You are sure this going to work?”

　　“He will come looking for her, then we will use her blood to kill him.”

　　“What about the baby?”

　　“It’s a monster. It will grow up to be exactly like her father. We only need her blood then dispose of it.”

　　My screams dying out at their words, as I tried to focus on what they were saying, what they mean. I start thrashing, mustering any strength I have.

　　“I said hold her down. How is she still alive?” I hear the woman mutter before feeling something slash my stomach.

　　Feel the warmth of my blood run over the sides of my body as they cut me yet all I could focus on was the sounds of my blood spattering on the floor, echoing loudly in my ears before I hear a shrill high-pitched sound of a baby crying, why wasn’t I dead? I could still hear them though the sound was becoming muffled, distant as I strained to hear. Hear her cries when suddenly I feel no pain at all, just cold, oh so cold as I listen to my heart thump one last time, the noise I will never forget was my dying gasp before I feel nothing.

　　Ryland POV

　　They took her away, they wheeled her out as she lay writhing in agony, her screams piercing my ears and my heart as I watched on helplessly, thrashing against my restraints and I could feel the silver bleeding into my skin, my skin melting away. I try and listen, but I am much to weak. Unable to even focus on my surroundings long enough to focus my hearing. Looking down I was still losing blood, becoming weaker by the second as I prayed my mates would get to her in time. Amara’s message ringing loudly in my head and the doom that followed if I failed. I failed, I set a path toward a future that will be snuffed into existence. I feel my link to her growing weaker, weaker as the seconds tick by and I know my mates can feel my failure. My agonised scream echoing off the walls as I feel my teether to her snap painfully, like a hot poker was shoved into my chest removing soul as she died. I could almost hear her last breath as I gasped, tears burning my eyes and I know I failed. She was gone, our little mate was dead. They left her with me, trusted her to me and I failed her.

　　Hearing footsteps outside the door I look to it. The door opening and a man walks in, in his lab coat. He was young, only in his twenties yet I could tell by the way he looked at me with pure hatred he had been raised a hunter, raised to despise anything that wasn’t human. His black glasses perched on the end of his nose as he stepped into the room. He walks over crouching in front of me.

　　“I would say congratulations on your baby girl, but you will never see her. She is just a means to an end” He mocks. I growl at him thrashing but he doesn’t even flinch, he knows he has the upper hand in this situation. Knows I can’t escape and just to make sure he pulls a syringe from his pocket. I identify the green liquid instantly as wolfsbane and brace myself for it.

　　His brushes his blonde mop of hair from his eyes, his hazel eyes glinting wickedly, I thought Thaddeus was evil but by the look in his eyes, this man was worse. They think we are monsters, yet he was here to get his jollies off, over inflicting pain. He stabs the needle into the bullet hole in my chest squeezing the plunger as I feel the acidic liquid burn through my cells. Gritting my teeth, he seems dissatisfied that he didn’t get the reaction he was hoping for, instead he pulls a knife from his pocket, the blade glinting under the dim light casting shadows on the walls as he twirls it between his fingers.

　　“You think you’re the higher beings of the earth, little do you know your just a pawn in our games. Thaddeus, your mate will fall, and I will watch him die and gladly the reap the rewards of being the world’s hero,” he says before pushing the blade into my stomach, the silver slicing through my skin like a hot knife on butter as he twists it. His face contorting as he smiles showing his teeth.

　　“You’re all dead, every god damn one you,” I spit at him choking on my own blood.

　　“I don’t think so,” he says before turning and nodding to the man standing guard at the door with a gun in his hand. I hear the sound of a trolley before seeing another man in black armour push the gurney into the room, dripping with blood. He walks beside it dumping the body wrapped in a sheet at my feet. Evelyn’s dead limp body falling to the ground with a thud, the sickening sound of her head hitting the concrete as she is dumped on the ground like rubbish makes bile rise in my throat.

　　“Yet you react to her, what is it that is so special about an insignificant human?” he says pulling the blade from my stomach and stabbing her in the chest. I thrash as I watch him mutilate her body, mutilate her face. The man in armour throws up on the ground near the door. The man in front of me looking at him over his shoulder before looking back at me, shaking his head in disgust.

　　Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, he clicks his tongue. “Some don’t have the stomach for this line of work,” he states before standing up.

　　“I will leave you with this,” he says kicking her body with his foot as he walks toward the door. I can’t help it, I laugh they have no idea what they have done, no idea what is coming for them.

　　The man in armour stares at me yet I have tears rolling down my face from laughing. They talk of destroying him, yet he was going to destroy everyone and everything when he finds her and he will find us, they have no idea what they have awoken, the hell that was about to rain down on everyone and everything.

　　They stop, staring back at me, the man in armour looks at his boss nervously.

　　“I would run if I were you, you have destroyed the last shred of his humanity, you have just awoken the devil, he will bring hell on earth for what you have done” I tell him before going into fits of laughter.

　　“Ignore him, fear does weird things to people” The man says pushing the others toward the door before closing it, while I continue to laugh that’s all I have left is the sick satisfaction knowing Thaddeus was going to destroy them all, destroy all of us.

　　Thaddeus POV

　　Amara was the one who first alerted us, we were on our way back and had just stepped onto the busy main street when my phone started ringing making us stop. She uttered one word, like she had seen it seconds before she rang, seconds before agony tore through me.

　　“I’m on my way” the phone going dead just as I was brought to my knees, along with Orion who was still walking collapsed violently in a heap. My veins felt like they were on fire, as I felt Ryland’s pain through the bond. Taking my breath away as I clutched at my shoulder. Acid moving through my veins, engulfing everything in flames. Evelyn’s fear hitting us, pure panic kicking in and I could feel that she was running. Feel her getting weaker as she too felt Ryland’s pain along with her own. Orion screaming on the ground trying to put out the invisible flames that were consuming him while I tried to breathe through it unsuccessfully. People staring wondering why two people were suddenly on the ground writhing in pain, yet I didn’t care, all I cared about was getting to them.

　　When suddenly it stopped, stopped just as quick as it started. Orion’s screams died out and I rolled onto my hands and knees panting, anger coursing through me as I stood up. People in the main street backing up, the ground rumbling violently beneath my hands, the road cracking along with the building around me as I feel the darkness trying to take over, but I needed a clear mind, needed to find them as I focus on them, focus on my mates. Orion stands sweat coating his body and drenching his shirt, something I never seen on him as he struggled to find his legs. My phone shattered on the ground into pieces from where it fell from my hand. Moving, I make my way to Orion grabbing his arm and hauling him to his feet as his legs kept giving way from under him.

　　“We need to move, come on” I gasp out trying to catch my breath. Frightened onlookers scattering as we staggered down the street cars stopping as we dart across the road and into their path.

　　“What did they use?” Orion coughs out still trying to catch his breath.

　　“I have no idea, but whatever it is, it would be ten times worse for Ryland.”

　　“Evelyn?” he asks his voice shaking with fear.

　　“The link severed,” I tell him, knowing they both must be unconscious. We start running, forcing o0urselves to move, heading home. Praying we make it in time, get to them in time. When we hit the concealed driveway, I get a burst of energy as the house comes into view. My mother and Father I could hear inside the front door thrown open while Amara comes running from the trees beside the house.

　　“They aren’t here, I didn’t get here in time,” Amara says, fear on her face, as her eyes frantically scan our surroundings.

　　‘What did you see?” I ask, gripping her arms and shaking her before forcing her to look at me.

　　“I saw Ryland fall. I knew something happened but then I lost it. I couldn’t hold it like they went unconscious“ she says shaking her head, I could tell she had been using her magic, her aura was weak. Weak like she had been overexerting herself, trying to see what happened.

　　“Head to Leven, they have to be at the facilities there” I tell them.

　　“Your fathers are going to check the military facility on the way” My mother says as I see them come out of the house, my father trying to pick up any scents, but the place was clean. No scents at all not even human scents like they masked themselves in some way.

　　We race to the compound on the outskirts of Leven minutes feeling like hours as we race to get to them in time, running past the sign bordering the town when I feel her wake. Feel Evie’s consciousness start to wake but it doesn’t last long. By the time we got to the gated compound, I feel the bond break, feel her dying breath and I snap, a scream leaving my lips as I feel my soul shatter into a million pieces, the part of it that is her dying with her. The ground moving in a wave as I approach the fence, feel the volts of electricity rippling in the wire as I tear it apart with my hands, the barbed wire sticking to and catching on my clothes as I tear a hole through it, storm clouds brewing violently as lightening sets the trees on fire.

　　She was dead, they killed her. Raising my hands, I feel the darkness ebbing and flowing throughout my body, sickly sweet and sadistic. My eyes bleeding black, and I feel the darkness consume me as I march towards the brick building on the hill. I hear horns blaring when I am tackled to the ground. Amara smacking me in the dead centre of the chest, knocking me backwards.

　　“Get off me” I scream as I feel her trying to absorb my magic, trying to take it from me but they must pay. They must die for what they did.

　　“You will bring the entire building down on them, think Thaddeus” Amara shrieks.

　　“I doesn’t matter she is dead, she is fucking dead” I scream at her, electrocuting her. She growls as she is thrown off before Orion grabs my arms, flinging him off, the ground cracking in my anger.

　　“Your daughter is alive, you do this, you will kill her” Amara screams making me halt.

　　“You don’t know that” I tell her, my mother grabbing my arm just as gun fire rings out, we all duck for cover before feel fire burn in my veins igniting every cell in my body as it leaves my fingertips, lighting the surrounding buildings on fire, people running and screaming, and my fury takes over.

　　“I do I can feel her, she is not dead, and neither is Evelyn, you have been feeding her blood. They want you to walk in there. They would be expecting this” Amara screams trying to stop me as she blasts me with what little energy she has left, pinning me on the ground while chaos breaks loose. They knew we were here and were now getting ready as we fought with each other wasting time.

　　“They are in there; you do this you kill us all,” my mother says. I could hear trucks leaving the facility making me look up, armed vehicles leaving in succession barrelling through the fences toward us. I watch my mother dig her hands into the ground, feel her energy leaking out of her as the ground moves.

　　“You need to get me in there,” I tell Amara.

　　“I can’t we could end up anywhere, I don’t know what inside looks like, I can’t just mist us in without seeing inside.”

　　The sound of metal on metal making me look toward the four armoured trucks as roots shoot from the ground, crushing the vehicles and bend them like paper origami. The entire place looking like a war zone as my mother uses her magic wielding it like a weapon. Orion moving quickly killing anyone he comes across and those being thrown from the vehicles while I was still stuck to the ground, held by the snares of Amara’s magic.

　　“Let me up” She shakes her head.

　　“I don’t want to hurt you, but you give me no choice” I tell her before letting hell fire loose, the ground turning black as charcoal as it consumes everything in its path, a line heading straight for the facility that has my mates held hostage. Her magic wavering as she tries to hold it. Tries to stop me, but she is no match for me, her magic comes from life, needs energy to empower it, to strengthen it. Mine is dark, mine comes death, like a muscle it flexes, I am nor living or dead, Amara is life and even she knows her power has its limits, mine doesn’t need anything to draw off, whereas hers does. She gives a piece of her life essence to use hers, whereas mine takes from anything surrounding it strengthening me, while hers weakens her.

　　“Thaddeus, you’re killing her,” my mother screams.

　　“Tell her to let it go.”
