Sadistic Mates Chapter 113

Evelyn POV

One week Later

We had stayed in our little bubble, none of us leaving ho for anything, instead Imogen would pop over and drop things off. None of us wanted to leave the safety of ho. The rumours of the Dark king had been circulating. Hysteria spread like wildfire of his return because of the damage he caused. None would listen to the fact, it was a war he never started. Thaddeus has struggled since being ho, the darkness was addictive and he fought the push and pull relationship he had with it.

One minute he was fine the next on the verge of exploding yet we managed to bring him back from the darkest depths of the depression it caused him. Imgoen offered to take it away from him, but learning from past mistakes it always finds its way back, he just needed to learn to control it and Mara was his grounding place, he would continue to fight the compulsion of it, learn to ta it again for her, for our family. It was a part of him everyone just needed to accept that, if he could live with it so could we. He shouldn t have to deny who he is and the darkness is a part of him, without it he wouldn t be Thaddeus and despite what it does to him I will still love him, I love him and that ans loving the darkest parts of him too.

Pouring the boiled water in my mug, I quickly stir it. Trying to get a cup in before the coffee police cos down on . The sll of coffee had beco my new favourite sll. Caffeine, get in . Bringing the cup to my lips I was about to take a sip when the cup was suddenly gone from my hands. I huff annoyed, turning to glare at Orion who sips my coffee.

"You already had one this morning, I heard the clink of you stirring it so don t deny it Evie" He says and I pull another mug down about to make another but Orion takes the coffee jar from the bench placing it on the top of the cupboard away from my reach. Ryland cos into the kitchen, reaches up and grabs it, passing it to giving a wink. He kisses my cheek before plucking my mug from Orion’s hands and sitting at the table next to Mara who was eating her cornflakes. Orion growls at him before trying to reach for the coffee jar in my hands but I pull it away from him making myself another coffee that was rudely stolen from .

"Evie no, you have already had one today" Orion says trying to reach for the jar.

"Leave her be Orion, the baby is a tribrid for god sake, if wolfsbane didn t harm it, coffee sure as hell won’t" Thaddeus says coming into the kitchen. I stick my tongue out at him, turning away from him and making my coffee.

"We don t know that" Orion says, eyeing my nonexistent baby bump, any day now I was waiting to wake and find a growing belly since tribrid babies were not like a normal pregnancy and matured quicker.

"We do know that?" Thaddeus says pointing to Mara who loves telling us about being a big sister to the baby that still isn t born yet.

"Fine, but last one" He says, taking the jar from . I grab my mug and drink my coffee while leaning on the bench and watching Mara as she plays with her breakfast instead of eating it.

For the rest of the day we sat on the floor in the living room, drawing with her and making a ss with her water paints while watching frozen on repeat. I couldn’t wait for her to find a new favourite movie. I could recite the words backwards. I have watched it that much this week.

"How about we watch Moana baby, this one is getting a little old" Orion tells her leaning over to the coffee table for the remote. Mara glares at his hand. He puts his hand up in surrender before pressing play once again on the movie. Orion goes back to his drawing pad and despite him hating the movie I chuckle when I hear him singing along to the songs with Mara. Sitting up, my back was killing from laying on my side for so long.

Ryland was outside mowing the lawns with Thaddeus and cleaning out the shed to kill the boredom of being housebound. I hear the mower cut off looking toward the window before hearing it start up again. I sigh, they had been outside all day.

Getting up, I move to the couch where Orion is. He moves, opening his arms for and I lay down on him draping my leg over his waist before he props his drawing pad on leg and continues drawing.

"I thought you hated the movie, " I tell him.

"I do but Mara wants to colour in that stupid snowman" He says continuing to draw before he tears out the page handing it to Mara who happily snatches it off him to colour it in.

"What s this?" I ask, trying to see the drawing under the blank sheet on top.

"Nothing you need to see" He says, closing his book and rolling on his side to face .

"It was porn wasn t it, that s why you don’t want to show " I chuckle, his lips tugging at the edges.

"Maybe" He says. His hand trailing down my side and back up softly.

"So have you thought of any nas yet?" He asks, his hand going to my stomach. I shake my head.

"I figured I would let you three choose" I tell him and he nods, kissing my forehead and pulling on top of him.

"I ordered so things online that should arrive tomorrow if you want to help put it together" I tell him and he pulls back looking down at .

"What sort of things?" He asks.

"A crib you know baby stuff, thought it would give us sothing to do" I tell him.

"Baby sleep in my room?" Mara asks, looking over at us.

"No in the nursery" Orion tells her.

"No my room" Mara pouts.

"Babies cry Mara he will wake you up" Orion tells her and she shrugs not caring.

"Baby has to sleep in our room for awhile anyway" I tell her.

"I thought you wanted to do up the nursery for him?" Orion asks.

"I do but if Mara wants him in her room she can, but he stays in our room so I can breastfeed him. I ordered a bassinet for our room" I tell him.

"You are going to try to breastfeed this one?" He asks.

"Yeah try" I tell him knowing how terrible I was at it with Mara before giving up and giving her formula.

"I can help you," He says.

"Are you planning on producing milk?" I chuckle.

"No but if you want to try, I will try to help, I would like you to breastfeed" He says and I nod.

"Try" I tell him, knowing I will probably give up like the first ti, I know better than to get my ambitions mixed up with my capabilities. And breastfeeding was terrible the first ti and I felt deflated when I realised I couldn’t do it for long and Orion was disappointed I stopped with Mara.

"Yes, try or we use formula" He says with a shrug.

Amara POV

Two months later

"I hope your father is in a good mood today" Ery tells as we stop at the grocery store. I had finally moved out of ho, Dad and Ery clashed constantly and I could see it was taking a toll on him. My father needs to realise I am not a child, that he needed to realise Ery is my mate and he wasn t going anywhere.

"He will be fine, he was nice last ti" I tell him as I walk down the aisle looking for the marinade mum wanted for dinner tonight. Mum had been inviting us over every few nights for dinner, I think she is going through that empty nest syndro, and doesn’t know what to do with herself when she isn t fussing over and my brother. Damn I feel sorry for Evie, mum was already annoying her, constantly over there fussing over Mara, I could already see Orion becoming annoyed with her being the over the top grandmother.

Orion likes to run by a schedule, likes his routines and mum had been interfering majorly by randomly showing up unannounced. Evelyn didn t mind but Orion that was a different story when it interfered with Mara s routine. And once their son is born it will get a whole lot worse.

"Is this it?" Ery says holding up a red sauce jar. I look at it and nod.

"Maybe we should cancel?" Ery suggests.

"No,I want to see mum, besides dad says anything I will say sothing" I tell him.

"You shouldn t have to, he should just shut his mouth" Ery snaps at and I roll my eyes, I was always stuck in the middle between them. My other father loved Ery but my other father was too hot headed and didn t like the notion of his baby leaving ho. He thinks Ery is trying to take from him. Walking toward the registers, I am hit full force in the legs, looking down I see a little boy with his hands on my white jeans. He giggles taking off leaving his handprints on my jeans before rushing off down the aisle, I look down at my ruined white jeans.

"Please tell that is chocolate and not poop" I say to Ery looking at the deep brown handprints on my favourite jeans.Ery wipes his finger on the handprint and licks his finger.

"Yep chocolate," He confirms.

"You licked it? What if it was poop?" I tell him. He shrugs.

"Had worse things in my mouth" He says, making look at him.

"I don t even want to know what is worse than shit" I tell him. I hear the giggling boy coming back up this ti behind , turning around just in ti for him to giggle and dart behind hiding from soone. A woman in her early twenties cos chasing him down, she looks quite flustered when her scent hits , Ery growls and I smack his chest.

"Mason back here" She shrieks before gasping when she sees my pants, her hands going to her mouth in horror as her kid hid behind .

" I am so sorry, he is usually quite good, my sister warned not to give him sugar, I should have listened, her son is quite the little monster when he has sugar rush" She rambles, digging through her bag and pulling a wet wipe out. She jerks the boy to her side.

"Look what you did" She tells him and he ducks his head. "I am so sorry, are they expensive?" She says trying to wipe the chocolate handprints off my thighs. I was too stunned to speak, Ery also in a shocked state as we stared at her. She flicks her blonde hair over her shoulder as she stares up at apologetically, trying to scrub the chocolate marks off. I was frozen when the boy suddenly darted off.

"Mason!" She exclaid before rushing off after him. I give the boy one thing: he was quick. I watch our mate dart after him. "Mate" Ery mutters under his breath.

"And it’s a woman" I tell him excitedly before looking up at him and he nods, looking quite perplexed. We both stood in shock, I found another mate.

"Wait where did she go?" I ask him, looking around for her. Ery and I walk up every aisle looking for her before realising she must have left. Now how were we going to find her?

"Did you see a blonde woman and a little boy co past here?" I asked the cashier. He shakes his head, scanning our item. I pay looking around trying to figure out where she went but co up empty.

"How is it we lost her?" I tell Ery as we go to the car.

"I was in too much shock to pay attention" Ery admits and he was right. I was also in shock.

"She is human though" Ery says and I nod at his words.

"So was Evie, she ca around eventually ,but now we need to find her again" I tell him with a huff, what if she was only passing through the city. Neither of us marked her to track her down, the thought saddened , what if we never find her again.

"Stop stressing we will find her" Ery says pulling to his side and draping his arm across my shoulders.
