Sinful Mates 1-3
chapter 56

Theo pulled me against him, so my body was flush with his. Sparks erupted all over my skingiving me goosebumps under his touch. My body reacting even though my mind had other ideas. Iput my hand on his chest about to push him away except he deepened the kiss making me forgetentirely that I was angry with them. How I hated the mate bond, it overrides everything or maybe Iam just too weak to go against it.

Tobias got up from the lounge his hands grabbing my hips tightly, so tight I knew it wouldleave bruises, his lips going to my neck as softly sucked and nipped at my skin. His teeth making meshiver against him as they brushed my mark. His hands moving underneath the shirt and up mystomach to my breasts, my nipples hardening from the feel of his rough hands caressing them. Imoaned into Theo's mouth, my hands wrapping around his neck pulling him closer, oh how I lovedthe feeling of both of them touching me, setting off every nerve ending in my body as arousalflooded me taking over all rational thought.

I felt Theo grab my thighs lifting me, so I had no choice but to grab his shoulders to stop fromfalling backwards and into Tobias. My legs locking securely around his waist and I could feel hiserection pressing against my clit. When suddenly I heard Tobias growl. His growl making everyonefreeze. Theo stopped pulling back slightly, I sucked in a breath of much needed air.

I felt Tobias step back and Theo placed me on the ground, my feet softly landing on the coldfloorboards before listening intently.

I watched as they both looked at each other, hearing something only they could hear. After afew seconds I too, also could hear the sound of tyres on the dirt road coming toward the house atgreat speed.

“Go get dressed, my parents are here,” Theo said before pulling me closer and kissing me. Histongue licking my bottom lip, before I felt him suck it into his mouth and biting down slightly. Hestepped back and motioned for the stairs. I made my way back upstairs and into our room. Iwondered why his parents decided to show up, the thought made me nervous. I could hear Tobiaswalking into the room as I rummaged through the walk-in, trying to replace something decent to wear.Settling on some tights and a singlet. Tobias reached in and pulled a shirt from the hanger and hegrabbed a pair of jeans quickly slipping them on before coming over and wrapping his strong armsaround me and kissing my head, I pulled back and out of his reach.

I quickly walked into the bathroom and washed my face and brushed my hair, so I didn't looklike I had just awoken trying to make myself look somewhat functional. After washing up quickly, Islipped on my bra and the grey tights along with the black singlet. Tobias was no longer in the roomand I could hear soft talking coming from downstairs. Along with Tobias's angry whispers whichweren't really whispers, with how high his voice boomed towards the end.

Walking down the stairs I was greeted by Caroline. She was in a black suit pants and a blouselooking very formal like she just stepped out of an important meeting.

“Imogen, lovely to see you again” I nodded making my way down the rest of the steps andonto the landing below. Caroline quickly walked over to me and hugged me, which I thought wasslightly strange she has never been this welcoming before. I froze as her arms wrapped around metightly before placing my hand on her back and hugging her back. When she let go, she held me atarm's length.

“Come we have much to discuss” she said motioning for me to sit on the lounge. When Iturned toward the lounge, I nearly froze. Josiah was sitting there staring off into space like he wasdeep in thought. I shivered slightly at the intense look on his face before sitting as far away fromhim as the lounge would allow. When he looked toward me, he softly smiled his lips tugging upslightly. His eyes sparkling under the lighting emitting from the fireplace.

“So, what's this about?” I asked nervously. I almost preferred the overbearing intimidatingversion of Josiah, that I was accustomed to, not this man who was looking back at me as if he wereexhausted and mentally drained. I noticed Theo sitting on the armchair next to the fireplace with astrange look on his face. Theo almost looked like he was in a trance.

When no one answered I asked another question just as Tobias walked back into the room withfour cups of coffee on a tray.

“What's wrong with Theo?” I asked staring at him, but he didn't even glance in my direction atthe mention of his name. He hadn't moved at all, he was just staring oddly at the space in front ofhim, like he could see something I couldn't see. His eyes seeing but not really seeing, it gave off aneerie feel like he was looking through whatever it is he was looking at.

Tobias sat the tray down and Caroline instantly reached for her coffee cup and passed me mine.I accepted the coffee and said thanks.

“Theo is stuck in his own mind,” Tobias said worriedly glancing at him. I remembered Theotelling me about how they don't sleep yet, could be go into the depths of their owns minds andbecome stuck. I couldn't feel anything but worry through the bond as he stared of vacantly.

“Why did he go like that?” I asked looking to Caroline.

“We have some news, and it must have shocked him into this state, don't worry dear Tobias willeventually pull him out of it” she said. Tobias walked over to him and waved a hand in front of hisface, but it was as if he didn't see.

“So, what was the news?” I asked turning back to Caroline.

“The council want to meet you, sooner than later. That's not why we are here though. Thecouncil needs your birth documents, as you know humans aren't usually mated to werewolves orvampires. The council wants to look up your lineage they aren't convinced you are a hundredpercent human. If you are, you would be the first human ever mated to someone like us” Josiah saidmotioning toward Theo and Tobias.

“Okay, so that's what shocked Theo?” I asked looking towards his frozen posture sitting in thearmchair.

Tobias growled. Josiah stood up placing his hand on Tobias arm and squeezing it before lettinghim go. “That's enough son, we can't change the past, but your mother and I have sorted it, thedocuments will come soon in the mail they said they would post them to this address” Tobias staredat me intently for a few seconds, I could feel worry and something else coming through the bond. Ididn't have a chance to ask what documents they were talking about when Josiah turned to look atme.

“Imogen do you still have your original birth certificate. I will also need a vial of your blood forthe council” I nodded my head knowing it was amongst the boxes that were in the office in the shedalong with rest of my belongings that Theo had stored here.

“I think it is in a box in the shed” I told him suddenly feeling nervous I knew it held nothingabout my so-called lineage. My mother's name was the only one on the birth certificate. I neverknew my father, didn't really want to either after he abandoned her to raise a child on her own.

“We will have to replace it, but first finish your coffee, I need to speak to Tobias in private” Tobiasgot up and walked toward the kitchen, Josiah following behind him silently. Something had Tobiason edge, and I glanced back at Theo who was still looking off, his eyes glazed over like he was there,but nobody was home his eyes were burning bright red and hollow looking.

“Well hopefully we replace something that will help your case” Caroline said. I looked at her howwould it help my case? I thought to myself.

“And if we don't replace anything?” I asked but I had a feeling I already knew the answer.

“If there is nothing to be found, the council will probably give Tobias and Theo a time limit onwhen to change you Imogen, I know you don’t want this Tobias has made that very clear.Unfortunately, Tobias taking that choice from you was very selfish and wrong of him to do so. Heshouldn't have marked you, but I also know my sons would never willingly put you in danger, theMate bond is that strong it would have happened eventually, he just should have spoken to thecouncil first” She told me glancing at Theo nervously. I watched as she stood up and walked over tohim.0
