Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 61

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 61 – Addelyn POV

1 week Later

Getting back to the house, I flop on the couch. Eli had given us many rants today about the importance of me being marked. He was driving me insane and I am pretty sure Cyrus was also becoming annoyed over it. I was at the point where I was going to just tell Cyrus to do it, just to shut Eli up.

My mother still hasn’t messaged me back since I messaged her a week ago, her phone was also saying it was disconnected making me worry. Taylor had messaged a few times saying mum was extremely busy with work and had even started working back at the hospital part time and although, I have barely been here a week I missed home. Missed Maya, missed my busy life. Here I was bored and besides Eli’s ranting about being marked they never really said much.

“What is wrong?” Cyrus says sitting on the couch next to me.

“Nothing I miss home”

“Ah, it will get easier,” Cyrus says.

“Can I go”-

“You are not leaving till you are marked and mated” Eli cuts me off. I roll my eyes. Getting up off the lounge and walking into the laundry and digging out the load I put on this morning. Eli followed behind me.

“You want to go visit home Addie, let Cyrus mark you” He says and I ignore him reaching to the bottom of the barrel.

“Why do you keep fighting it, it is inevitable it will happen so why not just let him mark you, then I will let you visit your family” Eli says.

“Just go away Eli I am sick and tired of hearing this same lecture, I swear you give it just to hear yourself speak” I tell him. He growls pushing me against the washer.

“All week I have listened to your attitude, you need to knock it off”

“Gladly, shut up about me being marked and I will”

“You will give in eventually, Addie. You will go into heat soon,” He says. Another thing he keeps going on about, some heat that will supposedly have me throwing myself at them.

I shove past him walking outside and to the clothesline. The door slamming shut from the breeze behind me. The sun was going down as I walked to the clothesline. I quickly hang out the washing while I can still see. Walking back though, I get this strange feeling I am being watched. I haven’t heard from Sam since the day in the cafe but had this constant feeling I was being watched all the time which left me on edge. Which out here was crazy, there was only one road leading to the property and you would see car lights from a mile away out here. Shaking off the feeling I walk back inside.

Eli was making homemade pizza when I walked in. I walk off into the room retrieving my phone that I accidentally left here this morning. Grabbing it, I turned my phone screen on and felt instant relief when I saw a message from my mother apologising for not calling and that she has been on night shift. I message her back telling her to ring me when she can.

Going on facebook, I log in and see a message request. Clicking on it a smile creeps onto my face. Sam had finally got facebook. I open the message.

Sam: Try to stay home tomorrow. It says. How did he know where we live?

ME: Will try, they don’t like leaving me alone by myself. I replied. I see the little icon saying he is typing and I wait.

Sam: Tell them you feel sick.

Me: Will try, how do you know where we live?

Sam: Followed you from work. He replies.

Me: Not creepy at all, stalker alert!

Sam: If only you knew.

I log out of facebook placing my phone on the bedside table just as Eli walks in.

“You feel like you’re in a better mood” He says feeling my emotions through the bond which to my surprise has grown stronger, I could feel most of Eli and started to pick up things from Cyrus through Eli.

“Mum finally messaged,” I told him.

“We told you she was fine” He says, wrapping his arms around my waist. He kisses my neck before nibbling on my ear making me shiver.

“I am not f*****g you” I tell him.

“Why? you have f****d Cyrus and he hasn’t even marked you” Eli says his hand moving up to my b****t as he squeezes through my shirt.

“You will give in Addie, your act of defiance won’t last much longer, I know you want us just as much as we want you” He says his hand sneaking into my pants as he cups my p***y with his hand, his fingers rubbing me. My panties dampening as he continues rub me through the thin lace. I pull away and he g****s and I feel his frustration, seeing it straining painfully in his pants. I walk out going back to the lounge.

Eli was annoyed, I haven’t touched them since the day in the office and have been sleeping on the lounge. I was pissed off that they literally brought me here like some ornament to perch on a shelf and nothing more. They never let me help at work, just expect me to sit there bored. And when we aren’t at work, I am stuck in this house like a prisoner with them always watching and hovering around like a bad smell.

After dinner I showered quickly before either of them tried to sneak into my shower before hopping in my pajamas. Grabbing the spare blanket and a pillow and I lay on the lounge.

Eli walks over leaning over the back of the lounge. “No, I am done with this, Addie. Get in the room” He says, reaching down and grabbing my blanket. I tug it back and he growls.

“You are our mate that means you sleep in the bed with us” Eli snaps at me. I roll my eyes and he reaches over and grips my chin, his grip hard. “Enough, no more now get up and get in bed”

“No!” I tell him shoving his hand away. Eli goes to grab me when Cyrus speaks up from the armchair.

“Now, now children stop fighting” He states looking over his newspaper.

“Tell her to get in bed, I am sick of not getting any sleep because she is out here” Eli tells him.

“Well if it makes you feel better, I sleep perfectly fine without you” I tell Eli looking up at him.

“Get in the f*****g room Addelyn” He snaps reaching for my wrist.

“Eli enough, she doesn’t want to, leave her be” Cyrus tells him.

“Can you please remember you are also my mate, and stop taking her f*****g side with everything Cyrus” Eli yells at him, his hands trembling.

“I am your mate Eli, but your temper is getting the better of you, now step away from her. You look on the verge of shifting” Cyrus warns him just as his claws sink into the couch making me gasp.

“Go Eli, you hurt her I won’t forgive you, go for a run or something” Cyrus says dismissing him with a wave of his hand. Eli walks out slamming the door and making me flinch.

“Why do you two always have to argue?” Cyrus says with a sigh placing his newspaper on the coffee table. He walks over grabbing the blanket Eli discarded on the floor before tossing it over me.

Cyrus bends down and kisses me, his lips soft as they move against mine. I k**s him back and he g****s before pulling back. “You really need to be nicer, I don’t think I have heard a nice word come from your mouth that was directed at Eli” He says.

“He irritates me, he is bossy and arrogant” I tell him.

“And you are stubborn, but seriously go easy on him. He just wants to be with you, why is that a wrong thing?” He asks, kissing my head and walking off.
