Sinful Mates 1-3

chapter 172

Evelyn POV

Driving down the highway I was brought to a standstill by a figure in the middle of the road. The

lights illuminating his large intimidating stance. I stopped the car, pulling over and off the road.

Thaddeus walked over, ripping the car door open. I was too mentally fatigued for his shit right now.

“ Get out now” Thaddues says, reaching for the ignition and ripping the keys out.

“Thaddeus I don’t want to do this right now just leave me alone” I tell him willing myself to not cry in

front of him.

“You don’t get to make a scene at home, then tell me to leave alone” He says, I could feel the

darkness consuming him like a raging storm. The air became electrified and I could smell the buzz of

his magic rippling out of him like an aura.

“Can I have the keys back please” I ask him, holding my hand out for them.

“No, you need to come back and apologise”

“Apologise for what, I don’t have to apologise for shit. I am not the one pretending we didn’t just

lose our fucking son” I scream at him now pissed off.

“You think you are the only one that lost him, at least we didn’t run off ignoring Mara, you did that!

left us to deal with all this shit because you are weak, fucking weak. Grow up and stop running from

shit”

“I’m not running you fucking prick, you could have pulled me out, you think I wanted to be stuck in

my own fucking head. It would have took you two seconds to pull me out and you chose not to, so don’t

put that on me” I tell him getting out of the car, if he won’t give me the keys I will fucking walk.

“Here you go running again, soon as shit gets to tough you fucking run just like you ran from

derrick, ran from your fucking childhood” I freeze he did not just say that?

“You did not just say that?” I say spinning around to face him. He shrugs, and I could tell he

wanted to inflict pain, wanted to hurt me. One thing I hate about letting people in, you let your guard

down, they learn your secrets then use them to hurt you, though I never expected him to use that one

on me.

“I know how many opportunities you had to make that stop, you have no one to blame but yourself,

I saw the amount of times you would stand outside that police station but never go in, instead running

away like you are doing now” Of all the people to blame me for what happened I never thought it would

be my own mates.

“Is that what you truly think Thaddeus, that it was my fault. I was fucking child and that has nothing

to even do with now so why would you even bring it up?”

“Because you ran just like you are doing now because you're weak, ruled by fear. Ruled by

emotion” He says.

“And you're not? Anger is an emotion Thaddeus the only fucking one you are capable of and you

call me pathetic. I had no control over anything from my childhood, and why is that Thaddeus? because

you fucking killed my parents, everything that happened to me is on you” I tell him. Hurt by what he

said, he knows how much that shit destroyed me and yet he was using it against me. It was almost

worse than what Derrick actually did. He was my mate or supposed to be and yet hearing that shit

come from his mouth would forever haunt me. Exactly why I never came forward, that is exactly the

reaction I feared from everyone, the blame being put on me, them not believing. Thaddeus knows

exactly what he did, watched my life of horror and then had the audacity to blame me for it.

“You walk away Evelyn don’t come home, you either come home with me now or not at all” He

screams to my retreating figure.

“Then have nice life Thaddeus” I tell him before taking off. I ran the entire way to the cafe. It was

on the main street of the city. Imogen opened the cafe with me. When I was pregnant I worked until I

could no more, the bigger I got the harder it got to maneuver around the place. And I couldn’t exactly

keep running here. The city was a couple hours from our place. The running was too much, yet if I

drove it would take half the day so we hired others to take over while I remained home, or went to work

with Ryland whose office was a few blocks down from the cafe. During the week we sometimes stayed

at Imogens so we didn't have such a long commute. Thaddeus grandparents would sometimes take

Mara if not she would come to work with me.

Stopping through the front door, the ring of bell above the door signalled my entry. I walk in flicking

lights on. Walking into the kitchen, I start turning on the burners and deep fryers letting everything heat

up when I hear the bell. I walk back to the front of the store, Thaddues walks in looking around. I can’t

remember the last time he came in here. He rarely had time with work. I grab the coffee jugs ignoring

him and walking out the back to wash them out before putting them on.

“So you are done then?” Thaddeus asks but I ignore him. Instead, cleaning up the mess the girls

who worked here clearly forgot to do, even the table needed cleaning, or maybe I was just picky with

my now heightened senses. Everything looked filthy to me, yet I knew those that worked here were

capable and efficient.

“Are you going to answer me?”

“Leave Thaddeus,” I tell him, grabbing the cloth and washing the glass jugs and placing them

upside down on a tea towel to dry.

“No, legally this place is mine. I don’t have to leave, so answer me”

“Yes Thaddeus I am done, we are done I want nothing to do with you now fucking leave. Why are

you trying to pick a fight with me?”

“I’m not you did when you were abusing Orion, who by the way has been raising your daughter

while you were in lala land”

“Well I would hope so because she is his daughter too, you know it's called parenting you should

try it. I am not some house wife and the fathers are supposed to share the load not that you would

know, you don’t do shit for anyone but yourself, now get the fuck out” I snap at him.

“Are you really going to just walk on us?”

“You want me gone, I am gone Thaddeus, you got what you want now please just leave”

“What about Mara?”

“What about her?”

“Are you going to walk out on her too?”

“No I will come get her this afternoon” I tell him and he growls, the lights flickering when one of Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

them suddenly bursts.

“You are not taking my daughter anywhere”

“What are you going to raise her?” I chuckle at the thought that would be a disaster.

“She stays you can go, but she remains with us so choose Evelyn”

“Just go Thaddeus”

“Be a shame if this place burnt to the ground?” He says looking around while I try and clean up the

broken glass from the lightbulb choosing to ignore him. Nothing was going to come of me getting

worked up around him. Especially with his magic all he knows is how to hurt people, and me reacting to

him would only end with me being hurt.

“Yes, your mother would be devastated, she loves this place, now please leave” I tell him.

“Fine I will go, but don’t come home Evelyn you made your choice” Whatever I think to myself

rolling my eyes, I was used to his tantrums. Like an oversized toddler chucking a wobbly when he

doesn’t get his way.

Unknown POV

“Any news from the scouts” I ask looking at Laura as she enters my den.

“No pretty much the same, they barely leave the house, but his mate went into that cafe they run”

“Which mate?”

“The girl. His sister has also gone to Bianca’s. We have men following her but keeping a distance

so she doesn’t notice them or pick them up”

“I wonder if she can sense anything?”

“I don’t think so we have kept Bianca pretty sedated, though the sister I think knows something is

up, she has been seen looking for her. Went to some old mental hospital too looking for her aunt”

“Mental hospital?”

“Yeah visited some girl called Lana”

“Interesting, keep tabs on Amara. I want to know when she goes home or if she realises something

sinister has happened to her aunt”

“Yes sir” Laura says, about to walk out and back up the stairs to the main house.

“Oh and Laura, keep an eye on the girl, I might have just come with an idea, especially if she is

going back to work, we might be able to use that”

“Possibly, we tapped into the cameras and the footage showed her arguing with her mate, we

couldn't hear what was said but it was apparent they are not on good terms” She says. I nod, that does

get the mind racing, maybe this wouldn’t be as hard as I thought to get revenge on Thaddeus, maybe

his mate might just very well walk into her own trap.

“Keep an eye on her and remember to keep your mind blank, vampires can get in your head just

do what I taught you and you should be fine”

“Wait, you want me to go?”

“Yes Laura, I can’t very well go, she would recognise me” Laura looks around nervously, before

finally nodding. I watch her jean clad arse walk up the basement steps, hear the erratic pumping of her

heart in her chest, smell her fear. I usually keep her on the sidelines for the most part especially after

the monumental fuck up she caused. But this has just given me an opportunity, one I won't turn up.

Now I just need to get that bitch of an aunt to start talking, the only problem is, I have her wake

her, too long the sister may pick her up, the last thing I need is her to start looking for her before I am

ready to deal with her.
