Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 200

　　Thaddeus and Ryland didn’t return till the next morning from the council as I was getting ready to head to work. Ryland didn’t like the idea of me going, but calmed down after I rang Amara and she said she would spend the day working with me, since Imogen was busy looking after Bianca who was recovering slowly.

　　I was walking to my car and had just opened the door when Orion stopped me, grabbing my arm. I turned to look at him.

　　“Are you going to work?” He asks.

　　“Yes, I know I am supposed to stay home for 72 hours but”- Orion crushes me against him, his arms wrapping around me cutting off my explanation.

　　“Just be careful, I will be in the city later today with Mara, I will pop over” He says and I nod hugging him back.

　　“I’m sorry Evie”

　　“I know you are, your guilt has been eating at me” I tell him, pulling away from him and hopping in the car. Orion turns walking back inside and I reverse out pulling out of the driveway only to jam on the brakes when I see Thaddeus behind my car.

　　He laughs walking around the side of the car and opening my door, “Can’t believe you would actually try sneaking off” He says leaning in the car.

　　“I have to go to work, at least until I find someone to take over” I tell him.

　　“I know but can you tell Amara to come see me tomorrow” He says and I look up at him wanting to know why.

　　He sighs” Amara’s magic isn’t working properly, I was looking through the library at the council and might have an idea to fix it for her” He explains.

　　“Her magic isnt working?” I ask him and he nods.

　　“Yeah since I brought her back, she still has it but it is weak”

　　“Maybe we can go to mum and dad’s tomorrow, I want to speak to your mum anyway” I tell him.

　　“Why? Something wrong?” he asks.

　　“No, but I want to see if she either wants the cafe or sell it”

　　“You don’t want to work anymore?” He asks.

　　“No, but Mara is growing fast, being home yesterday I realised how much I was missing. I want to stay home with her and Orion” I tell him.

　　“I would prefer that but it's up to you, it's your place” he says before leaning in and kissing my lips softly.

　　“I will see you after work” He says, closing my door. I reverse out of the driveway before heading to work. Amara was waiting out the front for me by the front door.

　　I get out grabbing my keys and unlocking the doors and shutters.

　　“Sorry I’m late, I got held up” I told her.

　　“All good not like I have anywhere else to be” She says, following me inside.

　　“How’s Bianca?” I ask walking out the back and grabbing the til out of the safe.

　　“Yeah good, they are trying to wean her on to blood, they don’t want her to just drink and struggle with losing control”

　　“Like Lana?” I ask and she nods.

　　“Yeah they dried her out pretty good but she will be okay” Amara tells me as she starts chopping salad stuff she got out of the fridge. I wash my hands before going to help her. The morning passed by uneventfully, around lunch time we started to get a bit of a rush, and Amara became quite flustered making me laugh at her.

　　I watched as she spilt coffee all over herself muttering to herself as she walked back behind the counter.

　　“Bloody looks like I pissed myself” She whispers looking down at her jeans.

　　“I have a hand towel out back” I snicker.

　　“Don’t laugh, do I look like a waitress, this shit is stressful and I have now ruined my favourite jeans” She says “and why do most of the customers have to overwieght middle aged men, where are all the ladies” She says.

　　“Why looking for a perve”

　　“Need something to entertain me” She says before walking out the back. When the lunch rush finished Amara helped me wipe down the tables as we tidied up. I load the dishwasher before coming out and cleaning the display cases that hold the cakes and deserts.

　　Amara comes over with her tray before dropping it. “For fuck sake” She says and I smack her arm at her language, luckily we had no customers. I helped her pick up the pieces of broken glass.

　　“You are the most clumsiest Tribrid I have ever met” I tell her.

　　“My nerves are shot, this no magic shit makes my hands tremble, it is driving me insane” She mutters using the tea towel to wipe up the spilt sugar pushing it in a pile. I hear the bell ding signally someone had entered. Looking up, I see a man enter and I could tell he was Lycan by the size of him.

　　“I will be with you in a second” I tell him looking down and Amara was frozen in place staring at the ground. “Mate” I heard her say, making my head snap to look up at the man, he had a smile on his face and I knew he heard her. Amara finally lifted her head up looking at me, not even bothering to look at the man behind her.

　　“Please tell me it has a vagina” She says and I snicker, the man however looked confused looking down at himself before scratching the back of his head awkwardly.
