Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 141

　　Evelyn’s Pov

　　I didn’t know what to do, Thaddeus was throwing them around like rag dolls. Ryland was drenched in his own blood; Orion was fairing a little better but not much when suddenly Ryland is knocked unconscious.

　　Orion eyes snapping to me before he starts running toward me in panic. If Orion goes out, I am next and there is nothing I can do. I can’t even run. I knew I was good as dead. Orion is ripped back by Thaddeus. Orion turning around and punching him, knocking him backwards for a second before he is ripped towards him. Thaddeus sinks his teeth into his neck, and it was the strangest thing I had ever witnessed, almost cannibalistic. He was feeding off his own kind. Orion struggling against him before Thaddeus tosses him like he weighed nothing.

　　Thaddeus clothes start tearing and his entire body growing bigger, black fur sprouting along his arms and chest, claws slipping from his fingers. The house is suddenly plunged into darkness and I squint into the darkness waiting for my eyes to adjust but seeing nothing.

　　The hairs on my body standing on end when I hear him growl, my heart pounding so hard I could hear it. My breathing becoming harder as I fought to stay conscious and not faint out of fear.

　　“Orion” I whisper into the darkness but getting nothing in return only a menacing growl from Thaddeus before feeling his hot breath fan the side of my face and I whip my head to the side, coming face to face with white sharp teeth and I scream running for the stairs and only making it up one or two a before I am yanked backwards.

　　Thaddeus claws ripping the back of my shirt and I drop my weight slipping through his hands before crawling up the stairs as fast as I could only to get halfway when I feel his breath on my neck, and I flip onto my back, crawling backwards. All I could see was sharp teeth and his reflecting eyes hovering above me as he stalked me. Crawling backwards up the stairs using my hands. Every step he followed his arms on either side of mine before they go above my shoulders stopping me from going any higher up the stairs as I feel fur touch them, I freeze flattening myself beneath him, the stairs digging into my back painfully. His face drops into my neck and he inhales, and I will myself not to be afraid, but it was impossible when I literally had a furry monster about to rip me to shreds.

　　“Thaddeus, you don’t want to hurt me” I whisper, and he growls against my throat. My entire body shaking in fear. When I hear Ryland voice softly speaking.

　　“Evelyn don’t move” he says, and I hear the bottom step creak. Thaddeus head whipping towards the noise, a growl escaping him, and I hear the movement stop. Thaddeus turning back to me, and I feel his tongue run across my neck before I feel him sniff where my mark is. He then licks it and I curse myself inwardly when I moan at the sensation. Thaddeus seemed startled by my reaction and I see his eyes flicker for a second going green so quickly I thought I imagined it. His nose going to the crook of my neck, and I move my hand, he growls when I place it on the side of his face before he suddenly purrs deep in the back of his throat.

　　His stubble prickling my skin, I feel his tongue on my neck again before he bites me making me whimper. He pulls his head back, my hand still on the side of his face and shakes his head. I could feel my hand shaking in fear worried he would bite it off. His eyes flickering again, and I know he is still in there, there is some piece of him holding on, refusing to give in, though I felt nothing of him through the bond which I thought odd.

　　Taking a chance which would either kill me or save me. I grab his face catching him off guard and smashing my lips against his. His teeth going through my bottom lip, but I ignore the pain and blood running down my face, shoving my tongue in his mouth. He growls before his claws dig into my side above my hip.

　　I thought I was done for when I suddenly feel him kiss me back, his claws retracting along with his fangs. His tongue plunging into my mouth hungrily, and I feel his hand go to the back of my neck pulling me closer. I feel his body shudder and the fur covering his arms and chest disappears.

　　The lights flickering before turning on, hurting my eyes as they open. Before I feel him take a shaky breath. Thaddeus suddenly going to tears as he pulls away, but I pull him against me holding him there. He grips me like I am his lifeline, pressing against me and I don’t know what to do other than hold him and hope he doesn’t turn homicidal again. Ryland walks up the stairs slowly, his eyes making contact with mine, I see relief flood him when he sees I am okay underneath him. Both mine and Ryland’s heads turn when we hear Orion groan on the floor below us.

　　I can feel blood dribbling down my chin and spilling onto my neck from my lip. Thaddeus finally stops crying and my shirt, well what’s left of it, is wet with his tears. Thaddeus suddenly gets up.

　　Looking down at me and clutching my face with both hands. “I love you,” he says before getting up and walking upstairs.

　　I hop up off the stairs and I find Orion sitting on the floor, Ryland by his side rubbing his back. Walking down the stairs I rush over to them. Ryland’s head wounds had healed but he was still covered in blood.

　　Orion clothes were torn to shreds. Ryland pulls me toward him, hugging me and I wrap my arms around his waist when I hear movement on the floor above us. The entire railing on the stairs was smashed above our heads from where I fell. My stomach turning when I see Thaddeus walk down the stairs with a bag, he drops it at the foot of the stairs before walking into the kitchen. Ryland and Orion looking at each and they looked as confused as I felt.

　　He returns with his car keys.
