Sinful Mates 1-3
chapter 169

Unknown POV

Everything went to shit, the bitch was supposed to die. I went over my notes trying to figureout how only half the explosives went off, even with just one going off it should have set the othersoff.

“I must have missed something I am sorry” Laura stutters out when I turn my anger toward thepathetic woman she had one task, one fucking task she just had to squeeze under the house andconnect some fucking wires and she couldn't even do that right even after I showed her numeroustimes.

“Did you use the black one with the red writing?” I ask her trying to figure out how she fuckedup. Her face pales.

“I thought you said the red one with black writing” She stutters. Hopping up I walk over to thecupboard to look at the bombs I made. Opening the closet door. I see the black ones with the redwriting indicating they were live, so the only one that would of went of is the one I personallyhanded her, the fucking stupid ditz.

“Are you a moron Laura, can you not follow fucking instruction you imbecile”

“It was a simple mix up, they were right beside each other” She says, flinching away from myanger.

“You didn;t think it was a little odd the one I handed you was a different colour?” I ask her, sheputs her head down and I walk back to my desk flopping down in my chair annoyed at the blondebimbo.

Only good thing that came out of this was that I discovered Thaddeus hadn't had his magic, Istill thought he had his magic only realising he didn't when he suddenly got it back and he wasmore powerful than I originally thought, his magic was out of this world and after years of studyingelemental magic I came to one conclusion, it is ancestral magic. The sort of magic I would love toget control of, the damage I could do with that, the control I could reap over the world and all thosethat thought my science was for nothing. That I was wasting my time. Now I know what sort ofpower he has. I can work on a way to control him and take it, manipulate it for my needs. Everythinghas a loophole and I just needed to replace a way to break him, for him to lose sight of himself thenmaybe I won't have to take it, maybe the dark king will come to me, be my accomplice. I wantedrevenge but I would replace a way to get that, all while getting Thaddeus to submit to me, becomingmy secret weapon, one to exploit.

His sister would be a problem though, her magic was just as strong but purer. So is hisdaughter's from the blood sample we managed to retrieve from her. I could see something wasamiss with her blood, see the magic within it, it was easy to replace if you know what you're looking for.Now if I could just get my hands on his daughter I know I will be able to control the beast himself,he would do my bidding then.

“Where did they go? , have you got eyes on them at least after your failure?” I ask turning toface the bitch that ruined my grand scheme.

“At his mother's one of the scouts said"

“Good now come here” I tell her and she gets up nervously, her eyes darting to the door and Icould smell the fear seeping from her pores.

“I can get you a blood bag,” She says, turning for the door.

“I don't want a blood bag I want you, now fucking get here, don't make me ask you again” I tellher. Her blue eyes shone with tears. I could make it painless, but now where would be the fun inthat. Her blood tastes sweeter the more pained and fearful she is. She walks over slowly, her smallsteps annoying me and I stand ripping her toward me, shoving her against my desk, trapping her. Igrab her hair ripping her head to the side and she screams at my grip, clutching my hands feebly.

“You Won't fail me next time will you?” I ask her and I see tears roll down her pathetic face. Sheshakes her head hissing as her hair pulls from the roots under my grip. I sink my teeth into her necksavagely, her scream ringing loudly like music to my ears as her blood floods into my mouth. I drinkgreedily from her, only stopping when I hear her screams die and she starts to go limp, letting hergo and she falls to the floor unconscious. I step over her walking out of the basement of my houseleaving the pathetic thing. She will know next time not to fail the tasks that are set for her or it willend in her death next time.

Orion POV

One week later

There was nothing left of her, just a shell, the week passing by in a blur and I felt nothingnessfrom her through the bond. Even our daughter couldn't pull her out of herself. At the funeral she satthere blankly, didn’t even shed a tear just stared at the tiny coffin. We buried our son on his parentsproperty seeing as our home was now destroyed none of us wanting to go back there, it would betorment having to relive that day by going back to look at the destruction of the place we oncecalled home.

When the service was over Evelyn just stood up and walked away and she has been trapped inher thoughts since, in a comatose state. We have tried everything to bring her back, yet nothing hasworked. I was starting to think she was lost to us, lost and never coming back as she stares offblankly.

I have done nothing but argue with Thaddeus, he has refused to hand his magic back over,refused to try to help her. He was angry that she assumed he was at fault for our sons death. Afterhe gave back her memories they had a huge fight, Evelyn convinced it has something to do withThaddeus past but no one has come after us in a year and those that did before hand are dead so itmade no sense he could be at fault, yet Evelyn's rage was the worst I had ever seen it, she slappedhim and told him she wished she never met him and I knew that hurt him the most. Thaddeus wasangry over his loss and her rejection of him. The darkness surrounding him has only got strongerand stronger the longer it resides in him. Ryland has been house hunting, and when he is home hespends all his time trying to bring her back while I am stuck here being a house husband. It wasdriving me nuts just sitting around waiting for them to figure out everything. Thaddeus disappearsmost nights and doesn’t return till morning. Maybe if he would just try to bring her back I wouldn'tbe so angry at him but he doesn’t even acknowledge Evelyn, even when he is in the same room asher he barely looks at her and consumes himself with Amara.

Amara knows something is up with her mother, constantly climbing onto her lap trying to get areaction from her but not even she is able to pull her mother out of her depression.

I had just put Mara down for bed, Amara had moved out of her room and into the main houseso we had our own space while Ryland looked for a new place.

Looking over at Evelyn she sat blankly staring. Thaddeus hopping out of the shower steps inthe room, Ryland looking up at him from his position on the bed.

“Please Thaddeus just try and get her to come back, please don't leave tonight stay” Rylandasks but I know it's pointless, he would do as he pleases with no regard for us.

“Why so she can blame me, hate me for something I didn't do?” He asks, pulling his shirt overhis head. Ryland gets up off the bed and runs his hands over Thaddeus chest.

“Please stay, where do you go anyway?” Ryland asks though I was pretty sure I knew where hewent. I just hoped I was wrong.

“Nowhere that concerns you” Thaddeus tells him, pushing past him and grabbing his pants andchucking them on.

“Can you at least try to wake her?” Ryland says with a sigh. Thaddeus looks over at Evelyn andgrowls his eyes turning pitch black his growl waking our daughter. His eyes softening before hegoes over rubbing her belly putting her back to sleep, her eyes fluttering shut.

“You need to hurry up and replace another place, Ryland. This place is too cramped” Thaddeus saysgrabbing his jacket and walking out the door.

I chase after him grabbing his arm just as we step out of the shed. He stops turning to face me."What's going on with you?” I ask him worriedly.

“You know exactly what's wrong Orion” He says, shaking my arm off.

“I can't keep doing this Thaddeus, I am sick of being stuck here on my own. You are alwaysgone, Ryland is either at work or house hunting its fucking lonely, you need to help her or at leasthelp me”

“If its so bad then fucking leave” He snaps back at me.

“You don't mean that?” I tell him and he spins around his fangs protruding and his eyes pitchblack.

“Don't I? Because all I ever hear is you whinging, or you worrying about her but you never wantanything to do with me Orion. You replace it so bad here then fucking leave we don’t need you"Thaddeus yells.

I see the front porch light flick on and hear the door open. My stomach in knots at his words.

“Fine then we will leave. I am sick of this back and forth shit with you. It isn't good for Amara” Itell him, turning on my heel about to go back inside. I hear Thaddeus growl before I am tackled tothe ground, the impact knocking the air from my lungs. I shove him off trying to get to my feetwhen his fist connects with my face. I feel my lip split open as he punches me. His fist rained downon top of me.

I hear Imogen scream before his weight is suddenly gone and I see Ryland had tackled him,ripping him off me. Thaddeus shoves him off getting to his feet trying to advance on me whenRyland gets in his way. Thaddeus points at me, the rage within him so strong it actually made meshiver.

“What the fuck Thaddeus settle down” Ryland says trying to calm him.

“You take my daughter and I will fucking kill you” Thaddeus growls at me. Ryland looksbetween us, his hands on Thaddeus chest holding him back. I wipe the blood dribbling down mychin.

“Get your shit together Thaddeus, or I will” I tell him, turning around and walking backinside.000000
