Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 212

　　Thaddeus POV

　　"What was that upstairs?" I ask Orion when he finally steps into the room.

　　"Don't you start, I don't care what any of you say. She isn't the only one that gets a say in whether or not she keeps our child" Orion snaps at me turning to walk back out. I was livid that he was basically threatening her over thinking of aborting our baby.

　　"It's not what you said Orion it how you went about it, I could feel you asshole so could she"

　　"And she is keeping it, isn't she? No issue Thaddeus so drop it" he retorts. I hear him mutter under his breath as walks into the kitchen.

　　"Don't walk away from me when I am talking to you" I tell him getting off the lounge and following after him.

　　"I only said what you and Ryland were thinking Thaddeus, you wanted her to keep it, she is. Problem solved" he says, grabbing Mara's cup and plate, and dumping it in the sink.

　　"No problem not solved, I want her to want this baby not feel forced into keeping it out of fear of losing us" I growl at him.

　　"And that is exactly what will happen if she jeopardizes that pregnancy. I will walk, Thaddeus" he says.

　　"You would walk out on your family, leave Mara behind?"

　　"Don't be ridiculous, I would take her we all know who raises her, Thaddeus" Orion spits at me and I growl at him.

　　"Careful what you say Orion"

　　"Or what Thaddeus, you don't scare me" he says, shoving me, his hands hitting the centre of my chest. I growl in warning to him.

　　"Come on, you're the dark king right. The one everyone fears, well I have news for you Thaddeus I fucking don't fear you" he says shoving me back again. I clench my fists, the darkness rearing its ugly head trying to envelope me.

　　"Stop Orion" I warn him through gritted teeth.

　　"Or what? You will kill me, don't act like you would have respected her decision if she chose otherwise Thaddeus. I know you better than her, know what you would do to her if she harmed this pregnancy, I just did you a favour from having to do it" he tells me.

　　"I wouldn't have done it like that, she was afraid of you, you Orion the one she fears the least and now she is scared of all of us. What is wrong with you, you used to always be on her side and now you can barely look at her"

　　"She wants to kill our baby, am I supposed to be alright with that?" He yells at me.

　　"that's not what I am saying, but you didn't stop to think once how she feels, just forced her to agree"

　　"She doesn't have to mother it, she just has to carry it, let's not pretend she is actually a mother, she hasn't been for months" Orion yells at me, his eyes turning red. I snap, my fist connecting with his face at his words. His head whips to the side and he chuckles wiping his split lip.

　　"Fucking pathetic" he growls at me while I try to reign in the urge to kill him.

　　My blood is boiling and he goes to attack me when he suddenly freezes, a look of pain twisting his face and he stumbles forward clutching onto my arm. I feel the darkness fizzle out before I am smashed with fear, smashed with pain.

　　"Mara" Orion gasps, his panic smashing into as he rushes toward the door, his hand clutching his chest as he hits the wall before righting himself. I feel a tug on the bond before suddenly I lose Evelyn's pull. Ryland's was weak but still there and I raced out of the house, using what is left of the bond and letting it tug me towards Ryland. My blood was burning in my veins and I knew Ryland was in pain, I could feel the wolfsbane running through his bloodstream as his pain seeped into me.

　　“It took us 10 minutes to locate him, he was on the ground surrounded by shocked onlookers, they jump out of the way. Stepping away from us as we approached his semi unconscious form laying in the dirt. Orion bends down, slapping his face.

　　“Ryland, where is Mara?” Orion asks him. Ryland mumbles incoherently.

　　Orion bites his wrist pressing it against his lips, I could feel the healing effects of his blood working through Ryland’s system when he suddenly sits upright. He gasps looking around the park frantically.

　　“Where are they, where are they?” He says, forcing himself to his feet, he sways slightly. Orion rises with him.

　　Ryland looks around the park and I grab his shoulders, shaking him.

　　“What happened?” I ask him, he needed to calm down and think.

　　“I don’t know, I was pushing Mara on the swing, Evie went to use the bathroom and I felt something hit me in the leg. I looked down and saw a dart before I got hit again. I didn’t see anyone, I could hear them yelling but I couldn’t move, couldn’t see them” He says, his guilt smashing into me.

　　Shit, what now. While she was out we had no pull to her, I knew of course who took them but am yet to know where he would take them.

　　“What now?” Orion asks.

　　“We wait for Evie to wake up” I could feel the buzz of the bond, I knew she was alive. I just couldn’t pull on it. Hauling Ryland against me, he leans heavily on me. Stunned onlookers were watching from their cars and from a distance.

　　“Can you shift?” I ask him, he shakes his head.

　　“No, But I think I can run” Ryland says before taking a deep breath. I grab his arm Orion grabs the other before we start running. Heading home. Ryland was in no state to help get them back and he was a little bit more breakable than Orion and I being a Lycan. He wasn’t going to like it but he would be staying at home, even if we had to drug him ourselves, I will not have a repeat of last time.

　　Getting home we dropped him on the couch, he sits heavily taking a deep breath winded from running. Orion walked into the kitchen and I knew already what he was doing, I could feel him rifling through my thoughts as he ran. He comes back out with a syringe and while Ryland was leaning over trying to catch his breath. Orion stuck the needle in his neck. His hand goes to it and he looks over his shoulder before his eyes roll in the back of his head.

　　“He isn’t going to be happy,” Orion mutters.

　　“Nope, but he will be alive” I tell him and Orion agrees. It took an hour longer before I got the first glimmer of Evelyn waking, Orion’s head turning to face me, feeling it too.

　　His eyes turned crimson as his fangs slipped from his gums. I got up from the lounge, Amara was waiting for her to wake so she could try to get a read on her or Mara. Mara though was a dark hole because she shared the same magic as Amara did, Evelyn however could be read.

　　“Ready?” Orion asks, grabbing his jacket.

　　“Let's go hunting” I tell him, letting my magic sizzle beneath my skin. This time I will make sure there is nothing left of him, I could feel the darkness taking over and I didn’t fight it, no instead I fuelled it as I pulled on the teether to her, letting her essence show me the way to her.
