Sadistic Mates Chapter 47

Evelyn s POV

I woke early to my phone ringing next to my bed. It was on silent and I could just make out the sound of it vibrating. I ignore it, not feeling like talking and figured it must be one of Thaddeus s family mbers. Stretching I sit upright, the events of the past twenty-four hours hitting almost instantly. Thaddeus was sitting in the armchair at the end of the bed staring off into space. Ryland was asleep beside and Orion I had no idea where he was, but he wasn t in the room.

Lana was dead. My only family was now gone, and I just couldn t wrap my head around it, it was like a bad dream. Thaddeus was still as a statue, he didn t even move as I stood up, completely lost in his thoughts. Grabbing my phone, I look at the screen. Five missed calls from Lana. My heart clenching at the sight. She would never call again. I would never hear her voice again. I still couldn t believe April killed her, killed her own daughter. I quickly go to the bathroom needing to pee, walking past Thaddeus all he did was stare at the sa spot on the roof, the look on his face was vacant.

Using the bathroom, I quickly wash my hands before walking out. I wave my hand in front of Thaddeus face, he doesn t react. What is wrong with him? I touch his arm no reaction, he was awake because his eyes were open, yet the look on his face was like he wasn t aware of touching him.

"Vampires do that sotis; he is stuck in his head" Orion says, making notice he was now leaning against the door. He cos over wrapping his arms around and I wrap mine around his waist. Sparks moving over my cheek where it rested on his bare chest.

"When will he co back?" I ask looking up at him.

"When he figures out how to co back, or one of us pulls him from it" Orion tells .

"You okay?" he asks, I nod. I would be fine unlike Lana. I m still alive and breathing, guilt hitting at what happened.

"Hungry?" he asks, I shake my head.

"Well, you should eat anyway, I will go make sothing" he says letting go before staring at Thaddeus. I could see the worry etched on his face for his mate. Orion walks out and I was about to follow when decided I would sit with Thaddeus for a bit, Ryland was still fast asleep snoring softly. Climbing on the armchair, I sit on his lap, draping my legs over the armrest before grabbing his arm and wrapping it around .

Thaddeus being gone for so long was horrible, now he was back and stuck like this. His skin was warm as I leant against him. Using my fingers, I trace the lines of his face, his face felt rough with stubble, but he felt warm, felt like ho. My phone starts vibrating again, this ti I can t ignore it. Hopping up, I grab it before sitting back down on Thaddeus s lap. Looking at the screen, my heart skips a beat. Lana? I shake my head I know she is dead already, I must be losing it, there was no way she could be ringing. The news anchor confird three people were dead, they even put up her photo, so I had no doubt she was truly gone. My mind must be trying to find ways cope, I try to rationalise. Dropping the phone on my lap, I nestle back into Thaddeus, my head resting on his shoulder, my hand stroking his rough cheek. I loved the way they slt, loved the sll of their skin and how warm they are.

Suddenly I felt movent, Thaddeus moves making look up at him. Before his big arms envelope , crushing against him before letting go slightly. Sitting up, I straddle him, wrapping my arms around his neck, his face going to the crook of my neck.

"You re back" I mumble against his shoulder before kissing the side of his neck. He growls softly almost a purr.

"You don t hate ?" he whispers, making furrow my eyebrows.

"Why would I hate you?" I ask confused, wrapping my arms around his neck tighter and pressing myself against him.

"Because of Lana" he says before rubbing a hand down his face.

"You didn t kill Lana, April did" I tell him, and he shakes his head.

"Nothing you did killed Lana, that is on April. She pulled the trigger not you. Fairly sure I am losing my mind though," I tell him, and he pulls back, grabbing my face and looking at . I hear my phone vibrate again.

"Why do you say that?" he asks, curious.

"Because I keep thinking I can hear my phone ringing and see her na popup," I tell him. He kisses softly before pulling away. "Please don t keep punishing Ryland it wasn t his fault" I tell him, and I see his eyes dart to Ryland behind before settling back on . He pulls against him, resting his chin on my head.

My phone vibrates again, and I retrieve it where it fell between us. Looking at the screen Lana s na popping up again. Sighing, before I drop the phone on my lap when Thaddeus picks it up.

"Ah Evelyn, you re not imagining it unless I have gone crazy with you," he says looking at the screen. Sitting up, I look at the screen.

"You see it too?" He nods and I take it from him before answering it. My heart skipping a beat and a lump ford in my throat as I answer it popping it on loudspeaker.

"Evie? Evie you there?" Shock hitting . Thaddeus nudges with his arm and I shake my shock off.

"Lana?" I ask.

"Evie, I have been trying to ring for hours. I need help please you have to help ," she says, and I can t help the tears of relief that she is okay.

"Evie?" Her frightened voice cos again.

"Yes, I am here. I thought you were dead," I tell her. Silence on the other end. "Lana?" I ask when she says nothing.

" I think I am. I don t know, but I need help. I rember the bullet hitting in the chest, then I felt cold, so cold. I m scared, Evie," she says. Thaddeus stands up, I wrap my legs around his waist as he starts walking toward the door.

"Wait, where are you?" I ask her.

"I don t know, I am in so tal box. I can t move the door is next to my feet and I can t open it" she tells . tal box? I look to Thaddeus and he says one word.

"Morgue" Morgue? Thaddeus takes the phone from while I try and wrap my head around what he said.

"Hi Lana, this is Thaddeus," he tells her.

"Argh Hi, where is Evie gone?"

"Never mind that for now, do you feel strange?" he asks.

"My throat is burning," she admits. Thaddeus kisses my forehead and Orion cos over and I try to put my feet down and stand but Thaddeus jostles making remain where I am, his arm tightening around my waist, so I wrap my legs back around him.

"I am sending Orion to co get you. You know Orion?"

"Yes, but why not Evie?"

"You will see Evie, but Orion is faster. He will co get you and bring you here" Thaddeus tells her. He hands my phone back to and I answer it.

"Lana you there?" I could hear Thaddeus and Orion whispering to each other but couldn t quite hear what they were saying. Next second Orion disappears, the front door left wide open.

"Evie, is it true?"

"Is what true?" I ask her, she sounded so frightened.

"What April said that Derrick..."

"Yes Lana, but don t worry about that. Orion coming to get you, okay?"

"My phone is dying" she tells before the phone cuts out completely. I try to ring her back, but it goes to voicemail.

"She is alive, April didn t kill her," I tell Thaddeus. He shakes his head.

"I think she did, you should prepare yourself. Lana may be different when she cos here," he tells . I don t care if she is different as long as she is alive. Lana is alive, no matter how traumatised she is, she will get through it, but wait why is she in a morgue?

"Why would she be in a morgue?" I ask, the realisation of what Thaddeus said hitting .

"Is she dead?" Thaddeus nods.

"But how I just spoke to her? She is human like ."

"There are a lot of people walking around with vampire DNA completely unaware, so when they die, we found out they co back, that the small amount of vampire DNA brings them back. We learnt all this when my mother died having ."

"So, your saying Lana is a vampire?"

"I would be willing to bet my life on it," he says. Either way, I didn t care as long as she was alive. She would get through this. Ryland suddenly starts walking down the steps rubbing his eyes and yawning.

"Morning," he grumbles, and Thaddeus lets down and I rush over to him before jumping on him. Ryland catches and I wrap my legs around him.

"Why are you so happy?" he asks confused looking to Thaddeus.

"Lana is alive" I tell him. He looks to Thaddeus who steps closer pressing his chest into my back. Ryland looks at him warily, probably because he isn t supposed to touch , but he slept in the bed and Thaddeus didn t do anything.

"Is she?" Asks Ryland looking at Thaddeus, wondering if I lost the plot.

"Vampire, I think. Orion has gone to get her" Thaddeus tells him. Thaddeus wraps his arms around both of us. Ryland leans into him as I beco crushed between them.

"I m sorry" I hear Ryland say before I realise, he said it to Thaddeus. Thaddeus pulls his face back as I look up at them both, Thaddeus eyes dropping to mine between them. He kisses my head before turning back to Ryland.

"I overreacted she is fine" he says, pecking Ryland on the lips only for Ryland to grab the back of his neck and deepen the kiss. My stomach tightening as I watch them together. Thaddeus chuckles pulling away after a few seconds.

"Co, I need coffee" Thaddeus says turning toward the kitchen. Coffee sounded great.

"Is he okay?" Ryland asks, making look at him.

"Yeah, why?" I answer, Ryland shakes his head.

"Because he? -"

"I told him, it wasn t your fault," I tell him, and he looks at before kissing my cheek.

"He almost seems happy," Ryland says walking into the kitchen and sitting on the bench next to Thaddeus.

"Do you think we should call Bianca?" Thaddeus asks Ryland.

"Might be a good idea, we don t know how she will react to Evelyn" Thaddeus nods before pulling out his phone. Their words confused . I have known Lana for years; I was no threat to her.
