Fated to Them (book 1+2) novel Chapter 40

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 40 – I suddenly feel hands grab me, a rush of air and the feeling of moving fast as air whipped around me, stinging my skin. My stomach drops when I find myself in my room in a matter of seconds. Cyrus places me on my feet and I am hit with vertigo making me Sway. Cyrus steadies me while my vision regains focus.

I clutch on to his arm waiting for the room to settle as it spun violently. My mother walks out of her room leaning on the doorway with a worried look on her face when I hear the front door shut a little too loudly, Eli coming up the steps and my mother jumps as he approaches her. A m*******s look on his face.

“Is everything alright? Addie what’s happened?” My mother asks, looking between Cyrus and Eli nervously.

Cyrus walks over to her grabbing her face, my mother’s face goes slack as she stares at him, her eyes glazing over.

“Leave her alone” I tell him, staggering toward my bedroom door. I felt like I was walking on the moon, the floor moving with each step.

“Nothing is going on, go to bed Debbie and forget this encounter” Cyrus says before letting her go. She turns as if on auto pilot walking back to her room.

“Mum!” I call to her but she doesn’t even turn, just walks in her room and closes the door.

“What did you do to her?” I demand.

Cyrus turns on his heel glaring at me and I take a step back at the demonic look on his face. Eli growls stepping into the room before shutting the door. My heart rate picks up and the back of my knees hit the bed forcing me to drop into the bed.

“I can’t believe you would still go to him, even after knowing you are marked by me” Eli bellows. Goosebumps rise on my skin, my hair standing on end.

“You can’t just stop me from talking to my friends, you don’t get to decide that for me” I snap back.

“He isn’t a friend Addie, you know that. We are leaving tomorrow for Soya and you will be coming with us” Eli says stepping forward and gripping my arm.

“Eli let her go” Cyrus says to him.

“She f*****g kissed him”

“I know Eli I was there, now let her go” Cyrus warns him. Eli lets me go shoving me back on the bed. I get up going to the door to leave and go check on my mother.

“You are not leaving this goddamn room, now sit the f**k down Adeline or we will leave now” Eli growls j*****g me back.

“I am not staying in here while you are acting like that, and I am not going to f*****g Soya” I scream sick of telling them I am not leaving. I shake his arm off walking to the door.

“I will help your sister, erase everything, give her a clean slate” Cyrus says, making me stop.

“How?” I wonder how that is even possible.

“Her records are easy for us to have deleted, and I can compel her like I just did to your mother, she will never do . D***s again, Maya can have her mother back and you can feel guilty free with leaving your mother” Cyrus says behind me. I feel his hand go to my hip as he tugs my back against his chest.

“I will help your sister but you come with us, and you stop fighting against the mate bond” he whispers below my ear. I shiver when his breath moves across my neck.

I shake my head not wanting to agree.

“Maya could have her mother back Addie, your mother will have her daughter and you your sister”

“But I will be gone,” I whisper.

“They can visit but yes you won’t be coming back here for a while” Cyrus says his hand moving over my stomach.

“You would be happy with us Addie, we would be yours and you ours” he says before kissing my jaw, his hand moving underneath my shirt. Sparks moving over my skin warming me wherever he touched.

“Do you want to be ours Addie?” He asks, kissing my neck and I lean back into him, loving the feel of his hands moving over my skin, the tingles rushing South making my core pulsate.

“Say yes Addie” Cyrus growls his hand slipping Into my pants before cups my p***y. His hands rubbing over my slit. His fingers s***k with my arousal.

“Give in to us, my love,” he whispers, running his nose along my neck to my jaw, he kisses Eli’s mark and I shiver. His fangs pressing against my neck a strange fogginess slipping over me making me feel light and airy.

“Ada I can’t wake grandma” Maya voices sounds on the other side of the door with a soft knocking, bringing me out of my fog bubble, the feeling that washed over me dissipating, making me come back to my senses. Cyrus’ hand slipped out of my pants and I walked to the door. Opening the door, I find Maya with her unicorn plushie tucked under her arm, her hair all messy wearing her matching unicorn pajamas. Scooping her up I walk toward her room placing her back in bed.

“Grandma is just sleeping she is tired” I tell her tucking the blanket back in around her. When I go to leave Maya, a soft little voice reaches my ears.

“You s********h me Aunty Ada?” She asks, shuffling over on her single bed. I walk to the bedroom door, flicking the light switch off before turning back and climbing in with Maya. Her little arm draped over my neck as she snuggles closer.

“Ada?”

“Yes Maya?”

“Grandma will be sad when you go, so will mummy”

“Were you listening on the other side of the door, you know what grandma says about eavesdropping?” I ask her and she goes quiet.

“Can Mr Cyrus really fix mummy?” Maya asks. Her curls tickle my cheek as she snuggles closer.

“I don’t know Maya” I whisper unsure if he can just magically cure addiction away , when we have tried for years to get her clean with no success, it kind of seemed unrealistic to think someone could possibly erase years of d**g abuse.

“Mr Cyrus will try?” Asks Maya and I roll over to face her, brushing her hair from her face.

“He will if I leave with them, means I won’t live here anymore” I tell her and I watch her eyebrows furrow before she looks up at me.

“But I will see you everyday?” She asks and I feel my eyes fill with tears. I have raised her for four years alongside my mother she was more mine than my sisters, but at the end of the day she was never mine to begin with, but could I walk away from her because taking her with me would k**l my mother, she has endured enough, I could take the only thing making her hold on away from her.

“No, but you would be able to ring me and maybe visit and I might be able to visit” I tell her, wondering who she would choose, even though now I had made up my mind. Taylor was my sister, her mother. Even if it kills me, you make sacrifices for family, family always comes first.

“I will miss you when you go” Maya whispers and I nod s********g the lump down that formed in my throat before answering. “I will miss you too”
