chapter 141 Thirty-Nine


    Evelyn’s Pov


    I didn’t know what to do, Thaddeus was throwing them around like rag dolls. Rnd was drenched


    in his own blood; Orion was fairing a little better but not much when suddenly Rnd is knocked


    unconscious.


    Orion eyes snapping to me before he starts running toward me in panic. If Orion goes out, I am


    next and there is nothing I can do. I can’t even run. I knew I was good as dead. Orion is ripped back by


    Thaddeus. Orion turning around and punching him, knocking him backwards for a second before he is


    ripped towards him. Thaddeus sinks his teeth into his neck, and it was the strangest thing I had ever


    witnessed, almost cannibalistic. He was feeding off his own kind. Orion struggling against him before


    Thaddeus tosses him like he weighed nothing.


    Thaddeus clothes start tearing and his entire body growing bigger, ck fur sprouting along his


    arms and chest, ws slipping from his fingers. The house is suddenly plunged into darkness and I


    squint into the darkness waiting for my eyes to adjust but seeing nothing.


    The hairs on my body standing on end when I hear him growl, my heart pounding so hard I could


    hear it. My breathing bing harder as I fought to stay conscious and not faint out of fear.


    “Orion” I whisper into the darkness but getting nothing in return only a menacing growl from


    Thaddeus before feeling his hot breath fan the side of my face and I whip my head to the side,ing


    face to face with white sharp teeth and I scream running for the stairs and only making it up one or two


    a before I am yanked backwards.


    Thaddeus ws ripping the back of my shirt and I drop my weight slipping through his hands


    before crawling up the stairs as fast as I could only to get halfway when I feel his breath on my neck,


    and I flip onto my back, crawling backwards. All I could see was sharp teeth and his reflecting eyes


    hovering above me as he stalked me. Crawling backwards up the stairs using my hands. Every step he


    followed his arms on either side of mine before they go above my shoulders stopping me from going


    any higher up the stairs as I feel fur touch them, I freeze ttening myself beneath him, the stairs


    digging into my back painfully. His face drops into my neck and he inhales, and I will myself not to be


    afraid, but it was impossible when I literally had a furry monster about to rip me to shreds.


    “Thaddeus, you don’t want to hurt me” I whisper, and he growls against my throat. My entire body


    shaking in fear. When I hear Rnd voice softly speaking.


    “Evelyn don’t move” he says, and I hear the bottom step creak. Thaddeus head whipping towards


    the noise, a growl escaping him, and I hear the movement stop. Thaddeus turning back to me, and I


    feel his tongue run across my neck before I feel him sniff where my mark is. He then licks it and I curse


    myself inwardly when I moan at the sensation. Thaddeus seemed startled by my reaction and I see his


    eyes flicker for a second going green so quickly I thought I imagined it. His nose going to the crook of


    my neck, and I move my hand, he growls when I ce it on the side of his face before he suddenly


    purrs deep in the back of his throat.


    His stubble prickling my skin, I feel his tongue on my neck again before he bites me making me


    whimper. He pulls his head back, my hand still on the side of his face and shakes his head. I could feel


    my hand shaking in fear worried he would bite it off. His eyes flickering again, and I know he is still in


    there, there is some piece of him holding on, refusing to give in, though I felt nothing of him through the


    bond which I thought odd.


    Taking a chance which would either kill me or save me. I grab his face catching him off guard and


    smashing my lips against his. His teeth going through my bottom lip, but I ignore the pain and blood


    running down my face, shoving my tongue in his mouth. He growls before his ws dig into my side


    above my hip.


    I thought I was done for when I suddenly feel him kiss me back, his ws retracting along with his


    fangs. His tongue plunging into my mouth hungrily, and I feel his hand go to the back of my neck pulling


    me closer. I feel his body shudder and the fur covering his arms and chest disappears.


    The lights flickering before turning on, hurting my eyes as they open. Before I feel him take a


    shaky breath. Thaddeus suddenly going to tears as he pulls away, but I pull him against me holding


    him there. He grips me like I am his lifeline, pressing against me and I don’t know what to do other than


    hold him and hope he doesn’t turn homicidal again. Rnd walks up the stairs slowly, his eyes making


    contact with mine, I see relief flood him when he sees I am okay underneath him. Both mine and


    Rnd’s heads turn when we hear Orion groan on the floor below us.


    I can feel blood dribbling down my chin and spilling onto my neck from my lip. Thaddeus finally


    stops crying and my shirt, well what’s left of it, is wet with his tears. Thaddeus suddenly gets up.

    Looking down at me and clutching my face with both hands. “I love you,” he says before getting up


    and walking upstairs.


    I hop up off the stairs and I find Orion sitting on the floor, Rnd by his side rubbing his back.


    Walking down the stairs I rush over to them. Rnd’s head wounds had healed but he was still covered


    in blood.


    Orion clothes were torn to shreds. Rnd pulls me toward him, hugging me and I wrap my arms


    around his waist when I hear movement on the floor above us. The entire railing on the stairs was


    smashed above our heads from where I fell. My stomach turning when I see Thaddeus walk down the


    stairs with a bag, he drops it at the foot of the stairs before walking into the kitchen. Rnd and Orion


    looking at each and they looked as confused as I felt.


    He returns with his car keys.


    “Where are you going?” I ask and he eyes snap to me. The anguish behind them nearly knocking


    me over and I step back, as he walks toward me. Orion and Rnd jumping to their feet.


    “I’m not going anywhere, you are.” I felt my stomach drop, what did he mean?


    “Thaddeus, what are you doing?” Rnd says grabbing his arm and I could see the fear in


    Rnd’s eyes, feel it hit me through the bond.


    “What’s right, we never should have let her get involved with us,” he answers, shaking off his arm.


    Thaddeus reaches for me before grabbing my face and I feel the fog rush over me.


    “No,” I gasp, but he doesn’t listen.


    “You are going to take my keys and the bag and leave, go live your life away from me. You are free


    to go where you want, just don’te back here,” he says and his words suddenly sound very


    reasonable but why did they hurt so bad? He lets go of my face and I stumble back, tears filling my


    eyes. He was letting me go, but why does it feel so hollow inside me, why does it feel so wrong.


    “You can’t decide that for all of us, Thaddeus. I won’t, I can’t be without her,” Rnd growls


    grabbing my arm and stopping me from leaving.


    “She is right, I only hurt her, all of you. You’re free to go with her,” he says before turning on his


    heel and walking up the stairs.


    I felt destroyed, they looked torn on what to do. My choice was taken, and the longer Rnd


    gripped my arm the worse the nausea got from not leaving the house and following his order.


    Gritting my teeth through the nausea rolling over me. When I was suddenly pulled toward the door


    Rnd bends down grabbing the bag.


    “What’s going on?” I ask, confused. Rnd walks me outside and the nausea instantly stops.


    Orion stepping out behind us. Rnd walks to the garage opening it before getting in the car and


    reversing it out. Cold arms wrap around my own and Orion turns me around before kissing me. His


    tongue tracing my bottom lip and my lips part, his tongue ying with mine and I feel him pull me


    closer. He pulls back before gripping my face.


    “I love you, Evelyn. I will see you soon” he says before kissing my forehead.


    “You’re noting?” I ask, tears filling my eyes. He shakes his head.


    “No, I will talk some sense into him.” I look toward the upstairs window and see Thaddeus standing


    at the window watching us. It hurt when he turned around and walked out of view. Rnd ces his


    hand on my lower back making me look up at him.


    “Come we need to go before you end up in pain,” he says kissing the side of my face.


    “You’reing with me?” He nods before he looks at Orion. Orion grips the back of his neck


    tugging him to him before kissing him, they look reluctant to pull apart, but Rnd grabs my hand


    before walking me to the car. I sit in the seat, my stomach churning at leaving them. Rnd leans over


    me plugging my seat belt in.


    “You will see them again, I promise,” he says, kissing my head before walking around to the other


    side. Rnd starts the car before turning it around and driving down the driveway. The house


    disappearing behind us.


    ‘Where are we going?” I ask.
