chapter 164 Sixty-Two
Evelyn POV
Imogen had been pacing in the loungeroom again, something had made her nervous after her
sister rang but she wouldn’t say anything, but something changed. Her tears stopped as she nervously
paced in front of the door, jumping at every noise she heard. Rnd wounds finally healed after he
managed to wash majority of the poison from them. Orion was staring off into space, when I felt
Thaddeus moods switch, making Rnd look over at me obviously feeling it to. Relief and happiness
radiating out of him and into us.
Theo and Tobias were sitting on the lounge watching the fire cracklepletely silent, my
daughterying on Tobias chest as he rubbed her little back. Time seemed to just move so slowly,
agonisingly slow. As we waited for him to return to us.
Thaddeus sudden shift in mood was rming, one minute he was almost happy the next I felt the
tendrils of darkness flooding into him, so thick that it made my heart race faster we could hear the
storm brewing outside and I had no doubt it was from him. What was he doing that he was using his
magic? Had he officially lost it, did he break like Rnd said. I couldn’t understand the shift, but my
anxiety was through the roof as I watched lightening light up the sky outside, Rnd to got up pacing
along with Imogen.
After a while I no longer felt anything from Thaddeus like he was suddenly blocking us out, that
was almost worse as he cloaked himself, shut off his emotions like a switch. Leaving me with nothing to
go on, worry wing at my insides when my daughter suddenly started crying, the lights flickering as
she shrieked, Tobias rocking her trying to get her to calm down. Everyone frozen as we watched the
power in the house surge before she suddenly quieted, the sound of the front door opening making
everyone look toward it, Thaddeus walking and Imogen sobs in relief throwing herself at him and
embracing him in a hug.
“Thank goodness you’re okay,” she says, and I could feel his shock as he hugged her back, he
was wreck, his close all ruffled, yet he was unusually calm. Tobias and Theo get up and Thaddeus
eyes snap to the little bundle in his father’s arms, his eyes tearing up at the sight of her.
“Where is Amara, where did you put her?” Theo asks worried and I realise she wasn’t with him,
wasn’t in his arms anymore, what did he do with her body?
“Didn’t think you could kill me off that easily, Did ya?” Her voice says behind us making us all jump,
Rnd’s head snapping in her direction before a sob leaves his lips and he charges at her. Scooping
her up and squeezing her as he crushed her against his chest, relief flooding him at seeing her okay,
his guilt moving to the back of his mind, still their but now overshadowed by his happiness.
“Amara?” Theo and Tobias say at the same time, before everyone was running at her. I stood
shocked looking to Thaddeus who had a silly grin on his face, happiness radiating out him as they all
hugged her.
“Now where is this niece of mine, hand her over” I hear Amara say before taking her from Tobias.
“Isn’t she the sweetest thing?” Amara coos.
“Hi baby“ she says kissing the top her little head, I rest my head on Thaddeus and he wraps his
arm around my shoulders.
“You brought her back” Rnd says turning around looking at Thaddeus, he nods but says
nothing, too busy watching his parents fuss over Amara and the baby. Rnd walks over to him and
Thaddeus pecks him on the lips before hugging him.
“I never med you,” is all he says and Rnd nods before hugging him, resting his head on
Thaddeus shoulder while Thaddeus rubbed his back.
Amara passes our daughter to Orion, we really needed toe up with a name for her besides
baby, Tobias and Theo walk over hugging Thaddeus with tears in their eyes.
“Thank you,” Tobias says, squeezing him. I step out of their way moving toward Amara, she brings
me into a hug squeezing the air form my lungs.
‘I am going to be the best aunty,” she tells me, and I nod.
“You’re the only aunty, hard topare,” Thaddeus taunts her.
“Don’t forget our deal, brother,” she retorts, and he rolls his eyes.
“What deal?” I ask confused.
“Doesn’t matter, here Ma,” Thaddeus says holding out his hand to her, Amara nudges me with her
elbow motioning to Imogen and I watch as his mother approaches him and Thaddeus hands her
something. Imogen gasps and I realise it’s a ne.
“You’re really giving it up?” she asks, and I try to figure out what she is talking about.
“Yes, do what you want with it,” he says, and I look to Amara who has a huge grin on her face.
“What is it?” I ask then it hits me, and I cover my mouth with my hands. No wonder he seemed so
calm I couldn’t feel it, feel the darkness writhing through him.
“Your magic?” I ask and Thaddeus nods before I throw myself at him, wrapping my legs around
waist and hugging him tight. Orion hands our daughter over to Theo before him Rnd tackle us

making us all crash to the ground in a heap.
“No need to make a big deal out of it,” Thaddeus says, and I could feel he was a little
embarrassed.
“So, about this name. I am telling you Amara is perfect, look at her exactly like me perfection in a
small bundle,” Amara says, looking down at us.
“I said middle name only.”
“She said he said she said, Amara is perfect,” Amara says, and I climb off Thaddeus who was
currently crushed beneath us.
“I’m not calling her Amara; we wille up with a name.”
“Come on brother, look at her isn’t she the cutest like me,” Amara says, holding our daughter
closer.
“No, middle name and that’s it,” Thaddeus tells her, making me chuckle. Amara pouts giving him
the evil eye before walking over and handing her to Theo.
We all sit up and find Imogen had ced the ne around her neck for safe keeping.
“You are doing the right thing,” she tells him before giving him a hug, he pats his mother a bit
awkwardly on the back before I realise, he was starting to choke up, she rubs his face gently.
“I love you son, always have always will,” she tells him, and he nods falling silent.
“Coffee?” I ask everyone. Rnd nods walking into the kitchen. Theo and Tobias get up and shake
their heads.
“No, we should let you settle in with your daughter. We wille back in a few days” Theo says
handing our baby to Thaddeus.
I was a little sad to see them go, but I could tell they wanted to get Amara home and to the safety
of their house, as well as give us time to ourselves.
“What a day,” Orion says sitting on the couch next to me. He pulls me on hisp, Thaddeus sat just
staring at our daughter on hisp ying with her little hands.
“Why did you do it?” I ask him, and Thaddeus looks over at me.
“For her” he says looking back down at her, she looked tiny in his arms as she squirmed. Imogen
had put her in a pink onesie and matching beanie. Rnd brings out coffee for everyone cing it on
the coffee table before sitting next to Thaddeus and looking down at our daughter in awe.
“She is so tiny; I can’t believe we made that” Rnd says looking at Thaddeus before pulling me
off Orion and onto hisp. I rub his stubble with my hand, and he pecks my lips softly. Thaddeus leans
over kissing me before suddenly Oriones over taking her from him and walking upstairs to put her
down now that she was back asleep.
Thaddeus tongue tracing my bottom lip before gripping my hips and putting me on hisp, his
hand cupping the side of my face as he deepens the kiss. Orion returns and I feel his hands remove
shirt pulling it off me, his hand going to my breasts from behind, they no longer felt cold to me.
Thaddeus turns kissing Rnd I watch as his tongue slips into his mouth arousal hitting me at the sight
of them, Orion grips my chin from behind forcing me to look at him before kissing me, reaching up my
hand slips into his hair, and I feel Thaddeus lips go to my nipple, Rnd’s hand moving to the other.
Orion release me before Thaddeus kisses me before pulling back.
“I love you, love all of you” he says pressing his face into my neck,
“Everything I need is here with you. All I need is our family,” he whispers.
