Sadistic Mates Chapter 54

Evelyn s POV

I was woken suddenly by arguing. Sitting up, I was in a bed. The last thing I rember was being in the car. Looking around Thaddeus was arguing with Orion while Ryland was in between trying to break it up.

"I told you not to fucking leave, and you still went. What did you? We can t keep moving her around like this."

"It doesn t matter Orion we have to go before the police get called and co here" Thaddeus says. I could feel through the bond his darkness was seeping out of him though he seed pretty under control for how sickly twisted it felt through the bond.

"What s going on?" I ask, all their heads snapping to on the bed.

"Nothing Babe we just need to leave," Thaddeus says walking over and scooping up off the bed.

"I need to pee," I tell him, the baby felt like it was sitting on my bladder, he places my feet on the ground, my legs buckling under from not having moved for so long. Thaddeus hand grabs steading . I push his hand away. "I m fine" I tell him, and he lets go.

I was not fine. I felt exhausted, ridiculously exhausted. My muscles aching, even my bones aching with every step I took. This baby has zapped the energy right out , my belly so hard and round I could no longer see my see my feet. Just bending or moving slightly made my lungs wheeze.

Quickly using the bathroom, I walk out to find the bedroom empty apart from Thaddeus, sitting on the bed with his head in hands. He looks up when I step out before walking over to and grabbing , obviously not willing to wait for to hobble down the stairs.

"Where are we going?" I ask shivering when the cold chill of the air brushes over as he steps outside.

"Ho," he says, making look at him.

"Really?" I ask excited to finally not have to run anymore. We had been on the move for ages never staying in one place for more than a night. Orion opens the car door when we approach before sliding across the seat. Thaddeus places in my seat before getting in the driver s side and starting the car.

I try clipping the seatbelt in, but no matter where I put it, it dug into my belly. My skin was tender from stretching so quickly, every piece of felt bruised even though there were no visible marks. Unclipping the belt, I try to get comfortable.

"Evelyn seatbelt," Orion protests trying to force it around . I swat his hands away, annoyed.

"No, it irritates my skin," I tell him.

"You need to put it on" Orion growls pulling to his side and trying to wrap the middle belt around .

"Orion leave her" Ryland growls back at him.

"You know what fine, pull over" Orion says angrily.

"I will put it on, just stop it please" I beg him, trying to click the belt in. Every day they argue over sothing, every day we are trapped in this car all they do is fight, I was sick of it.

Thaddeus pulls the car over and Orion hops out, slamming the door in my face as I lean over trying to stop him from leaving. Thaddeus gets out after him and they start screaming at each other. I try to drown them out sick of hearing the sa bullshit.

"You okay Hun" Ryland asks, the headlights illuminating them as they fight on the side of the highway.

"No, they just don t stop. They are always at each other s throats" Ryland reaches for over the back of the seat, and I go to waterworks, stupid fucking pregnancy hormones. One minute I am fine, the next either raging over nothing or crying. I miss my normal body, miss being able to see my own feet.

Wiping my tears, they were still arguing over god knows what.

"What are they even fighting over?" I ask. Ryland shrugs.

"Thaddeus apparently killed soone, and Thaddeus has been trying to explain sothing to him, but Orion is just being an asshole and not listening and talking over him because he doesn t want to keep moving you."

Argh this is a nightmare. "Who did he kill?"

"No, idea" Orion won t let him explain.

I huff annoyed at sitting on the side of the road.

Climbing over the seat, I hop in the driver s seat. It was a tight squeeze fitting between the two front seats, and I am fairly sure I smacked Ryland in the head with my bulging belly.

"What are you doing?" Ryland asks.

"Leaving them and going ho," I tell him putting the car in drive and taking off. Tears rolling down my face. Were they going to fight like this constantly when the baby arrives? I was over it, Thaddeus said we were going ho so that s where I am going, they can run ho and sort out their problems.

Ryland s phone starts ringing, and I hit the gas harder. He answers it.

"Hello Orion," Ryland says, sounding bored.

I could only hear one side of the conversation, but I got the gist of it from Ryland s replies.

"No, what do you expect? She isn t going to keep watching you fight. Sort your shit out and et us at ho," he says hanging up and I smile sadly at him.

"Slow down, love. Don t want to hit anything at this speed," he says, looking at the odoter. I release the accelerator a bit. I drove for a few hours before I felt fatigue catching up to and I start yawning. I felt like all I do is sleep and eat.

Ryland noticing continuously yawning speaks.

"Pull over at the next gas station" I nod around thirty kilotres later; I finally find one. The highway was boring and went on forever it felt like before I finally see the bright neon lights.

"Get in the passenger seat, I will drive" I climb out of the car, walking to the other side and climbing in. Ryland fills the car up before walking into the service station and returning with a bag full of potato chips and sweets.

"They sold them tomato flavour chips you like" he says, pulling them out of the bag and handing them to . "Thank you" I tell him opening the packet and starting to eat them. I offer so to Ryland, but he shakes his head and starts the car. I eat my chips, the drive was peaceful without them two arguing and I end up falling asleep, only to wake when the car stops again. I sit up stretching and nearly cry in relief when I see our ho. I missed this place, missed it so much. Thaddeus opens my door, picking up and cradling to his chest. I inhale his scent placing my hand on his chest.

"I m sorry, I didn t an to upset you" he says, kissing my eyebrow. I nod not really caring anymore, I was over it. It was nearly daylight already we must have been driving again for hours not that I really knew where we were in the first place before we got here.

"Where is Orion" I ask.

"Inside talking to my mother" Thaddeus answers and I instantly brighten up. His mother was here, I kick my legs wanting to be put down so I can go to her. "Settle little one, carrying you will still be faster than you trying to run" He was right, I was so much slower now.

We step inside our familiar surroundings, the place slt like it had been locked up for weeks on end which it had been. As soon as I walk in, I see Amara and Imogen talking to Orion. Imogen had a bag and so herbs in her hand. The chatter dying when I step in. Imogen s eyes go wide as Thaddeus places on my feet. Amara eyes running over my body worriedly.

"Hey Ma" I tell her, and she smiles walking over to and embracing gently, like she thought she was going to break . She gently rubs my belly before looking up at Thaddeus and I couldn t decipher the look on her face. Amara hesitates, watching closely like she was here but not seeing what was in front of her. Her eyes glazed over, and a dark expression took over on her face, her lips pursed together.

"Amara?" Thaddeus asks. She shakes her head before snapping out of her trance.

"Sorry," she quickly says walking over and hugging . She rubs my belly a smile on her lips.

"She is strong," Amara says. All of us looking to her.

"It s a girl?" Ryland asks stepping around and into the room.

Amara nods a huge grin on her face. "Can you feel it brother? Feel her magic?"

"She is pure," Thaddeus answers his voice choking slightly. His mother pats his back softly before he abruptly walks away. I could feel he was emotional through the bond, not sad but not happy either just, it took a second to recognise it. It felt like loneliness. I stare after him worried before Orion places his hand on my shoulder.

"I will check on him," he says, walking off after him. Hopefully, he does check on him not argue with him.

"We brought you so things, so herbs to add to your tea. Orion said you re exhausted all the ti; these will give you a boost. Oh, and this one will stop any pain you have, just don t take to much they make you horny," Amara says, her mother smacking her.

"Amara was up most of the night harvesting the garden for you," Imogen chuckles. Ryland holds out his hand to put them away, he takes the bag from Amara and she puts the herbs in his hand before she tenses, jumping back her eyes glazed over. Her eyes dart to , then back to Ryland and I could clearly see fear displayed in her eyes. "Amara what s wrong" Imogen asks, Ryland was watching Amara when she suddenly grabs hold of both his wrists, her eyes turning white, and she gasps her eyes moving like she is watching sothing. It was the eeriest sight to watch her.

"You can t let them do it" Amara gasps. Her eyes looking frantically between us. "What?" Ryland asks looking at .

"Promise you won t let them do it."

"What are you talking about, Amara?"

"Thaddeus, he will end world if she dies. It will doom us all," she gasps before her eyes roll into the back of her head and blood starts running from her nose and Amara suddenly passes out. Amara collapses and Ryland grabs her in ti just as she is about to hit the floor. Imogen was lost staring into to space. While my heart was pounding in my chest so hard, I was struggling to breathe, I could feel a panic attack coming on, the room pulsating around and my vision beginning to blur. What did she an, what did she see?
