chapter 127 Twenty-Five


    Evelyn POV


    I wake up just as the sun was rising to someone climbing in bed next to me. Opening my eyes, I


    find Orion looking down at me.


    “You’re here,” I mumble, half asleep and cing my head in hisp. Orion tucks in the surrounding


    nket, trying to keep me warm against his cold skin. Amara moves behind me, and his eyes snap to


    her, a smirk on his face as she chucks her leg and arm over me, rolling into me. She was the worst


    person to sleep next to, hogging all the bed. I was awoken a few times to her hand or leg being


    randomly chucked on me and was even smacked in the face with her elbow. Just as Orion goes to say


    something, Theo walks in. He smiles down at us before walking over, shaking his head at his daughter


    who was half on top of me snoring like a chainsaw.


    “Can I speak to you inside for a minute?” he asks Orion, who nods before hopping off the bed.


    “I will be back soon,“ he whispers, kissing my head before following after his father-inw. I close


    my eyes, trying to go back to my slumber I was awoken from. Amara tugs me against her, snuggling


    into me like I am her personal teddy bear. Sighing, I give up trying to get out of her grasp. Closing my


    eyes, I drift off but not for long it must have been only a couple of hours because my eyes feel like


    sandpaper as I am awoken by a loud growl. Stretching, I find Amara’s head on my boob, her arm over


    my waist, and we were tangled in the nket. But that isn’t what woke me. It was the menacing growl


    of Thaddeus who was standing next to the bed looking down, his eyes on his sister.


    “I thought Orion was onlying,” I say, looking up at him. I notice his teeth protruding, his eyes


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    snapping to his sister as she sits up slightly looking down at me.


    “I drooled on you,” she says, not realising her brother was in the room with us. Looking down, she


    indeed drooled on me. She smiles before brushing my hair over my ear before sniffing the air and


    turning her face to see Thaddeus ring at her.


    “Brother, finally you’re here. See perfectly safe snuggled with me,” she says, a smirk on her lips.


    “Get off my mate,” he spits at her, and she rolls on her back yawning.


    “You are far too angry for this early in the morning,” she mutters, stretching as Thaddeus picks me


    up out of the bed, crushing me against his chest. I inhale his scent, wrapping my legs around him,


    loving the warmth of his skin and his closeness.


    “Where is Rnd?” I ask.


    “Inside with my parents,” he says, hugging me close. “You smell like my sister,” he growls


    annoyed. I shrug not seeing that as a problem.


    “So you saw your parents?” He shakes his head and I pull back, looking at him. His eyes


    searching mine. He ces me down on my feet. “I have to go meet my aunty in town. Rnd and


    Orion will stay with you for the day,” he tells me, making me confused.


    “You’re not going in to say hello?” I ask.


    “No, Evelyn, I am not. I will see them when I get back. I need to go verify something.”


    I nod wondering what he needs to verify but let it go. I could tell he was angry through the bond


    and it was way too early to put up with his wrath this early in the morning.


    “Sounds good to me. I want to take her shopping. She has no clothes,” Amara tells him, and he


    res at her.


    “No, you’re not taking her anywhere, Amara. Rnd and Orion can take her,” he snaps at her, and


    she rolls her eyes at him, making me smirk. Thaddeus then walks out mming the door behind him,


    making the floor vibrate.


    “Come on let’s get breakfast and head to the city,” she tells me swinging her arm over me tugging


    me toward the door.


    “Ah Amara, I only have panties and a singlet on,” I screech as she goes to take me through the


    shed.


    “Oh right, hang on.” She ducks back in her room before giving me a pair of shorts. I slip them on


    following her to the main house. Her mother rushing out before frowning, and I guessed she was


    hoping Thaddeus wasing in. I shake my head sadly at her, and she looks a little disappointed.


    Walking in the kitchen I find Rnd and Orion talking with Thaddeus fathers, all of them looking up


    when we walk in. Orion instantly grabs me crushing me against him before sitting me on hisp on a


    stool. Rndes over gripping my chin, so I am looking up at him before kissing me, forcing his


    tongue between my lips. I push on his chest, embarrassed that we are in a room full of people, but he


    doesn’t seem to care.


    “Rnd,” I scold, pulling away from him. His eyes darken, but he steps away. My face heating up


    with embarrassment, but no one seemed to care except me. Imogen hands me a coffee, and Tobias


    was cooking what smelt like bacon. Amara stealing a piece from the frypan as her father smacked her


    hand with the tongs, but she still managed to pinch a piece a silly smirk on her face.


    “I am kidnapping your mate again,” she tells Orion, who looks to Rnd.


    “Why?” he asks, not even hiding his disapproval.


    “Geez what is your problem? It is shopping; I am not taking her to some whore house,” she snaps.


    “Does Thaddeus approve this?” he asks. Amara crosses her arms over her chest pouting, making


    me giggle.


    “Didn’t think so. Orion and I will take her,” Rnd tells her. Amara res at him but adds nothing,


    and I was suspecting Amara was used to getting her way.


    “Let Amara take her. I don’t see it being problem,” Imogen tells him, but Rnd shakes his head.


    “I agree with Rnd, love. If she goes into heat, what good is Amara going to be to her?” Tobias


    says while removing the frypan from the stove.


    “Rnd is just worried I may satisfy his mate more than him,” Amara taunts, making me confused


    until it clicked.


    “You’re lesbian?” I ask. Amara nods, a cheeky grin on her face. Now I know why Thaddeus was so


    upset I was in bed with his sister.


    “Yep, she has excellent tits by the way. Perfect little button nipples,” Amara says to Rnd and he


    chucks a tea towel at her, which she catches and throws back.


    “I wonder if she tastes as good as she smells,” Amara says, licking her lips before jumping off the


    stool and running for the back door just as Rnd lunges at her. I hear herugh as she runs outside.


    Theo and Tobiasugh at the pair of them before Tobias rushes to the door.


    “Oi don’t ruin my garden, Amara,” he yells after her, making me chuckle.


    “Never a dull day when Amara is around,” Imogen says. Tobias hands me a te of food and my


    stomach growls. I couldn’t even remember thest time I ate, making me blush with how loud it


    sounded. “Don’t you boys feed her?” Imogen scolds.


    “We do, but sometimes we forget she is human,” he says apologetically. I lean against him and he


    rubs his chin across my shoulder.


    “Food is ready,” Tobias yells out the back door. I can hear Amara and Rnd still running around


    outside, and it sounds like Amara is winning with the way she keeps teasing him.


    “Amara, my bloody roses you wench,” Tobias yells before darting out the back. I watch as he drags


    his daughter inside covered in grass, a very ticked off Rnd walking in behind her.


    “She killed my rose tree,” Tobias says angrily, walking over and sitting next to his wife. Imogen


    shakes her head before ring at her daughter.


    “What Rndnded on it, not me.”


    “You shouldn’t have riled him up,” Imogen snaps at her.


    Rnd grabs a te sitting next to me. We eat our breakfast, and after Tobias walks out to fix the


    mess his daughter and Rnd made, muttering under his breath.


    Imogen walks upstairs, retrieving some clothes for me before showing me where the bathroom is.


    Rnd and Orion walk in a few seconds after me. Pulling my clothes off, I hop in only to be mmed


    against the shower wall by Rnd. I wrap my legs around his waist while he devours my lips, his


    tongue ying with mine, and I can feel his erection pressing between my folds making me moan into


    his mouth. I kiss him back and he presses himself closer, his hands squeezing my ass, before Orion


    steps in. Orion moving off to the side of me before his hand moves between us and he rubs my clit, my


    hips moving against his fingers making me moan. Rnd kisses my neck before sucking on my mark


    and I throw my head back at the pleasure rolling over me, only to nearly knock myself out from the


    force.


    “Ow,” I squeak, making Orion chuckle. Rnd steps away and I pout, before Orion kisses me


    gently. I feel his fangs graze my lip making me pull back.


    “I’m fine, Evelyn, I have more control that Thaddeus,” he says, kissing me again. But I shake my


    head, pulling away and moving my hair.


    “You sure?” he asks gripping my chin making me look at him. I kiss him, sucking his bottom lip into


    my mouth and he groans before I pull away. Rnd watches us with hungry eyes.


    “I’m sure,” I tell him, offering him my neck. I feel his fangs sink into me, making me moan loudly


    before Rnd kisses me, swallowing my moans. Orion only feeds for a few seconds, and I actually


    miss the feeling of his teeth in my neck.


    We should hurry or we may not leave,” Orion tells me, and I grab the soap. Rnd doesn’t look


    like he wants to leave at all, quite content remaining in the shower. Once we are dressed, Rnd tells


    Imogen we are leaving but will be back. Walking outside, I notice Rnd’s car here and realise


    Thaddeus and him must have driven here.


    Hopping in, I sit in the front with Rnd. We drive to a vast city that is in perfect condition, not like


    Parse, which was half destroyed.


    “Thaddeus hasn’t been here?” I ask.


    “No, this is the first time he has been back here in decades,” Rnd answers. Driving down the


    main street I look out the windows wondering where they were taking me when I see her. I hadn’t seen


    her in four years, but I instantly recognised her. What I couldn’t believe was she was still with April, my


    old foster mother.


    “Stop, stop the car,” I yell to Rnd and he pulls the car over. Hopping out, I call out to her.


    “Lana!” She turns around and I know I am right that it is indeed her. I feel tears brim in my eyes at


    seeing her. She drops her bags and runs to me and I grab her, hugging her close.


    “Evelyn,” she cries. I kiss her now straight blonde hair. She would be fourteen now. April walks


    over warily, watching our exchange before recognising me.


    “Evelyn?” she says, and she looks a little taken aback. I hear car doors making me look over my


    shoulder. Orion and Rnd hop out of the car, but they stay back, just watching instead of


    approaching. April’s eyes dart to them nervously, making me wonder if she recognises them. If she


    does, she says nothing. I chat with her and Lana for a bit before April says they need to leave, and I


    had a feeling it was because of Rnd and Orion. Lana gives me her phone number, which I put in


    Rnd’s phone. Rnd and Orion hop back in the car while I say goodbye, giving Lana a hug before


    Apriles over and wraps her arms around me. Shocking me. I never told her what her husband did


    or even Lana. I only asked Lana if Mark ever hurt her, which she denied. After that I left and never


    looked back before the police arrived, never hearing from them again. I knew with him gone she was


    safe.


    April grips me tightly, a little too tight. Her words make my blood run cold. “I know what you did,


    whore. You will pay for what you did to my husband,” she whispers before letting go and stepping back.


    My heart rate rises, and I feel a little sick as I swallow back the bile rising in my throat. I feel Orion


    behind me when I stumble back. April grabs Lana’s hand, tugging her away.


    “Ring me, Evie,” she sings out using her nickname for me and I nod.


    “You okay? What did she say to you?”


    “Nothing, it doesn’t matter,” I say, turning back around and getting in the car. I can feel Orion’s


    eyes on me, watching me carefully I know they must be able to feel my emotions through the bond.
