Sadistic Mates Chapter 5

Evelyn POV

"Excuse ," I say before stepping around him and running back inside. What the fuck just ca over ? Lisa was frantically trying to take orders, and I quickly stepped in, rushing to the kitchen where I see a heap of dockets. When Lisa is finished, she cos out and helps cook while we keep an eye on the door. Orion just sits in the corner watching. Always watching. His presence doesn t bother like it did the first few days he was here. He had pretty much beco a piece of the furniture.

After we serve everyone, I grab my tray to go clean tables. I had just finished stacking the tray and was about to head out the back when I hear the doorbell chi. Lifting the tray, I turn to see who entered. Two n entered, looking around before their eyes fall on and I gasp as panic rushes through and my heart rate speeds us till I can hear it pulsating in my ears, my hands trembling and I feel clamming as adrenaline pulses through paralysing until I hear Lisa scream and realise I had dropped the tray of plates I was holding as they smashed around my feet. The noise making flinch as my gaze drops. Lisa rushes out with a towel and I drop down scooping the glass up with shaking hands.

"Shit Evelyn you okay?" she asks but I feel nothing but fear, too scared to even answer.

"Evelyn stop, you re cutting your hands" she says, making look at my hands which were indeed bleeding from the glass cutting my fingers and palm. I didn t even feel it and I can hear my breathing coming quick and I start to hyperventilate, the room and everyone in it watching with worried eyes as the room trembles around . I realise I am having a panic attack as everything slows down except for the erratic pumping of my heart.

It was them, the n that killed him in the alleyway. I feel Orion move near , and he takes the tray from hands. Lisa rushes out the back, but I am frozen in place, paralysed by fear. I feel Lisa grip my arms, pulling to my feet and taking out the back. Orion follows us into the kitchen. I see Lisa rummaging through my bag. I try to find my grounding place, rember what I need to do to ground myself, yet my mind just goes blank.

Lisa opens my bloody hand and drops two pills in it before handing a glass of water. I quickly swallow the pills.

"What are they?" I hear Orion ask her.

"Valium, she has panic attacks sotis." After a few minutes I feel my heart rate slow to a normal pace and my body start to relax. Lisa is quickly rushes around the kitchen, and I gather my bearing and look down at my hand, which has a tea towel wrapped tightly around it. I peel it off before rinsing my hand under the sink, wincing at the sting before reaching for the first aid kit and wrapping my hand.

When I go back out, Orion follows, and my eyes fall on the two n who were watching . I close my eyes, willing myself to hold it together. My shock only grows when I see Orion sit at the table with them. I also notice that everyone else is gone. Lisa cos out behind .

"Where did everyone go?" she says, placing her hands on my shoulder. I shrug, not able to take my eyes off the three people sitting in the booth. Lisa follows my gaze before looking at .

"You okay, Evelyn?" I nod but say nothing.

"How about you go ho? I can ring rander and ask is she would co. I know she is looking for work again, the last place she was at shut down? So, go I will be fine on my own." I look at her and I can tell it worries her. I haven t had a panic attack in ages, so it was a little out of character for .

"Go, I will be fine, promise," she says, handing my bag to . I nod before taking off out the door. I walk ho, my mind in overdrive. Wondering if they recognised , wondering how Orion knows them. When I get ho, I flop on my bed and close my eyes. Opening them, I hear a knock on the door. Getting up, I hesitantly peek out the window and find Orion at the door. I groan before walking over and unlocking the door.

"How do you know where I live?"

"Lisa." He shrugged. He leant against the handrail watching .

"Are you going to invite in, or do I need to stand out here and freeze?" he asks, and I step aside, opening the door wider. He walks in but has to duck his head to stop from hitting it on the doorfra. I stand awkwardly. I have brought no one here, let alone had soone show up here.

"What do you want?" I ask, folding my arms across my chest.

"I wanted to make sure you re okay," he says turning to face after looking around.

"I m fine you can go now," I tell him. He raises an eyebrow before stepping closer and I step back.

"I will not do anything," he says, reaching for and pulling to him. I feel my heart race at his proximity. I shove him back, and he looks shocked. I see hurt in his eyes which I find odd. I barely knew him.

"How do you know those two n that ca into the cafe?"

"They re my mates, why?"

I shake my head. "You have friends like that?" I ask. He seed so gentle, yet I could tell he had a an streak.

"My idea of mates and your idea are two different things, and what do you an, like that?" he says defensively, crossing his arm across his shoulder.

"They..." I couldn t finish, not wanting to rember that horrid night.

"They what? Evelyn?" he says stepping closer.

"It doesn t matter, you need to leave," I tell him and open the door. He looks at , but he doesn t move.

I suddenly hear soone walking up the steps out the front, and my eyes dart outside before I feel my breath catch in my throat. I stumble back terrified as I watch the two n from the alley walk up the steps before stepping inside my van. I go to run to the back when I feel hands wrap around my waist and realise Orion grabbed .

"Calm down, Evelyn, they won t hurt you," he says. I ignore him, knowing exactly what those monsters are capable of as I struggle against him, but his hands don t loosen. I bite into his hand, making him release , and I run to the bathroom before locking the door. Orion’s voice calls out on the other side of the door.

"Open the door, Evelyn," he says as I search the bathroom before seeing the window. I raise it slowly before lifting it enough to climb out. Halfway through the small window, I feel hands on my hips before I m ripped back inside the van. I scream before a hand goes over my mouth.

"Shh, we won t hurt you," says a voice below my ear.

"If I remove my hand, do you promise not to scream?" he asks, and I feel tears burn my eye before spilling over and running down my cheeks. They were going to kill . I should have run and left the city that night. I nod my head, and he removes his hand. As soon as he does, I scream as loud as I can before I hear him growl and he clamps his hand back over my mouth.

"Put her in the car," calls a voice from the door, and I see his handso face as he looks inside the bathroom. His silver eyes dazzling and hypnotic as he stares at . The man walks out of the bathroom, and I see Orion sitting calmly at the table.

"They won t hurt you; I promise. We will explain when we get you ho." Ho? What did they an by ho? They were going to take . I start to thrash against my captor, but he is stronger. My thrashing only seems to annoy him as I feel his breath on my neck.

"We can do this the hard way or the easy way," he says. Panic courses through as I drop my weight and go limp to try and slip out of his grip.

"Hard way it is then" he says as he grips my ankle. I kick my legs, my foot connecting with his face, and he grunts before ripping toward him and gripping my arms. The man pulls to my feet before wrapping his arm around , holding in place against his chest. I hit and scratch at whatever I can. He rips my head to the side, and I scream as I feel him bite into my neck. My screaming dies in my throat as black dots dance before my vision, and the room becos dull. I try to force my eyes open as I feel them start to droop. What did he just do to ? My last thoughts fade as it plunged into darkness.
