Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 30

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 30 – I walked Maya to her room in complete and utter shock at what I just saw, placing her in her bed, I tucked the blanket around her before closing her door.

Grabbing my keys, I head for my car, bracing myself for the pungent smell I thought would be inside. But when I opened it all I could smell was the air freshener tree hanging from my mirror and the smell of the cleaning products, no foul odour at all like I expected. Putting my car in reverse I pull out of the driveway heading to Sam’s hoping to get some answers, about why the h**l he bit me and why I could hardly remember anything from that night.

Pulling up at Sam’s I see his motorbike in the driveway and I know his home. Walking up the front porch of the A frame house, I knock on the green door. I hear movement inside as someone walks over to answer the door. The opening to reveal his mother in a pink dressing gown and bunny slippers on her feet, her face lighting up when she saw me standing there.

“Adeline, what a lovely surprise” She says, opening the door wider and allowing me to enter.

“Who is it Ma?” I hear Sam’s voice call out from the loungeroom out the back of the house.

“It’s your friend Adeline, dear” She calls back to him. I hear the shuffling before seeing him walk down the hall toward me. His mothers name was Mary, she was lovely and had blonde hair that was almost white and blue kind eyes as she stared at me.

“How have you been dear” She asks before Sam steps out, he nods toward the stairs.

“Another time mum I need to talk to Adeline” He says, grabbing my hand and tugging me up the stairs, the floorboards creaking as he pulls me toward his room. The moment we stepped inside his lips were on me and I found myself pushed against the wall, his lips devouring mine. As he starts trying to pull my jumper off over my head.

“Sam wait that’s not why I am here” I try to tell him while he keeps trying to undress me. He starts tugging on my pants and I grab his hands stopping him.

“Sam wait, stop” I tell him. He lets go walking off and sitting on his bed.

“Is this about your bosses?” he asks,

“Are you f*****g them” He demands.

“What? No, why would you say that”

“Could have fooled me” He said, and I scrunch up my face in confusion what the f**k was he talking about? I sat on the bed beside him, his room was cleaner than mine, not a speck of dust, the drawers clear of clutter while mine were covered cosmetics and pictures, though he did have one photo of me and him at the fair on a Ferris wheel where we took a selfie up the top. I get up picking it up and looking at it.

“You still have this?” I ask and he looks up at me giving a swift nod. He looked sad for some reason l didn’t understand, maybe his fathers d***h was getting to him more than I thought.

“What happened the other night, I have little to no recollection. I remember us meeting at the diner but that where I go blank, then I woke up at home” I tell him.

“What you think you can play dumb, and I would just fall for it, you made me look like a fool” he snaps and I am, surprised by his sudden anger. I turn to face him.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, why haven’t you been answering my calls?”

“Calls you haven’t tried to ring once Adeline, and you disconnected your phone, so don’t scold me, you should have told me you were involved with someone else instead letting me find out when they catch you sneaking around with me” He says standing up his hands fisted close to his side. I had never seen him like this, he was angry and his anger kind of frightened me.

“What are you talking about Sam you’re not making any sense” I tell him.

He raises his eyebrows at me.

“I can’t believe you; I knew as soon as they sat down that you were f*****g them, the way they looked at me. Then instead of choosing me you just sat there, do you know how humiliating that was”

“Who are you talking about, I don’t remember anything from that night Sam that’s why I am here, I just remember waking up and finding that you bit me and wouldn’t return my calls”

“Bit you I never bit you, Adeline we didn’t even leave together you left with your bosses, I saw the entire thing as they shoved you in there car, and you left with them. I can’t believe you didn’t tell me you could have saved me the humiliation”

“I never left with them, I came back here with you” I tell him trying to wrack my brain, yet it sounded right but I just couldn’t picture it.

“No Adeline, you left with some man called Eli, I never got the other one’s name” He says rubbing his face.

“Did they do something to you?”

“No, I—I don’t remember, I just woke up with a huge bite mark on my neck I thought you did it”

“Show me, you never came back home with me Adeline, you went home with your bosses not me” He says standing up and reaching for my shirt.

“Where is it?” He asks, lifting my shirt.

“No, it is on my neck” I tell him, tugging my shirt neck down and moving my hair.

Sam gasps, stepping back. “Get out, get out now Adeline”

“What?”

“Get out of my house Adeline, you have been marked”

“Marked”

“Get out” He bellows, hitting his bedside draws with his fist. I run from the room and down the stairs, what got into him, one thing was clear though I need to go see Eli and Cyrus and they need to tell me what the f**k happened the other night.

As I climb in the car Sam runs out the door stopping on the step. I open my door and he shakes his head holding up his hand.

“I am sorry Adeline; I can’t be with you now”

“What are you talking about?”

“That mark on your neck, you have been claimed by one of them, you belong to them now” He says.

“Sam you are not making any sense”

“Go ask them, go ask your bosses” He says walking inside leaving me there confused. I get in my car and close the door. I leave driving down the street before pulling my phone from my pocket. I dial Cyrus’ number.
