Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 189

　　Thaddeus pov

　　I follow Ryland inside the house. Orion ducks off to grab towels.

　　"Our bathroom or the main?" He asks, looking at me.

　　"Ours" I tell him and I follow him upstairs. Walking past Mara's room I stick my head in the door checking on her. She was sound asleep still all tucked in her bed.Closing the door I see Orion walk up the stairs toward me.

　　"Is she good?" He asks, looking at the door.

　　"Yeah she is asleep"

　　"I need help" I hear Ryland call out from the bedroom. I walk in before following him into the bathroom.

　　"Stand her up" I tell him and he does, holding her against him, her head laying heavily against his chest. Arms floppy by her side.

　　I bend down undoing the button on her jeans before undoing the zip. Her pants sticking to her from all the blood. I pull her legs out before slipping her panties off and standing back up. I unclasp her bra before taking her from Ryland and he pulls her arms out.

　　Orion steps into the room and I feel fog drift over me directed at her so she remains asleep once the water touches her. I nodded to him grateful because I had used enough magic and I could feel it taking a toll on me. Ryland strips his pants off before taking her and I do the same before stepping in and turning the shower before adjusting the temperature. I remove the showerhead and he steps in with her before sitting on the shower floor with her in his lap.

　　Orion grabs the soap and a face washer and kneels next to the shower at the door and starts washing all the blood off while I rinse it down the drain, ridding the bathroom of the smell. My gums tingling with a need to feed.

　　"We need to know what it's in her system, just feed on her Thaddeus she won't care, you already do anyway" Orion says.

　　"Yeah but she is passed out,"

　　"It won't stay in her system long, either you do it or I will. Or wake her" He says.

　　I look down at my mate in his arms, completely comatose. She had been taken advantage of already. I won't be another to do it to her.

　　"They didn't, did they?" Ryland asks, feeling me through the bond. I shake my head, "no she killed them long before they got near her pants, we would have felt it if they did" I tell him and he nods before letting out breath.

　　I decided to wake her. "Let her wake Orion"he nods and I feel the fog lift, and I nudge her along. "Wake love" I tell her and she stirs.

　　Her eyes open before she jumps wide awake looking around. She sees us all staring at her before relaxing against Ryland.

　　"What do you remember?" She seems confused looking back at me before shaking her head.

　　"I need to know what they gave you," I told her.

　　"Who gave me?" She mutters incoherently still drunk on all the blood and whatever was in their systems.

　　"The men we found you with" she shakes her head.

　　"No Laura gave them to me" she mutters trying to go back to sleep. She turns in his arms burying her face in his chest. I look at Orion who seemed confused too. Her friend drugged her, and did that mean Evie took whatever it was willingly?

　　"Evie," I ask, shaking her and she turns her head, facing me before trying to go back to sleep.

　　"Can I feed on you and get in your head?" I ask her and she nods, trying to go back to sleep. Ryland looks at me before propping her up. I tilt her head to the side exposing her neck and her eyes open slightly.

　　"I'm sorry," she mutters.

　　"Why are you sorry?" Orion asks her.

　　"Because I took them, I didn't think they would work" she slurs.

　　"Do you know what it was?" He asks but she was already asleep.

　　I run my tongue over her neck before kissing her jaw. I let my fangs brush her neck and she shivers but doesn't move away or wake. I let her blood flood my mouth tasting it, before spitting it out.

　　The taste was disgusting, all their blood tainting hers and also something else I couldn't identify.

　　"What is it?" Orion asks.

　　I try to rack my brain for where I tasted it before. Orion leans in before running his tongue over bleeding neck and I hear him growl.
