Sinful Mates 1-3

chapter 110 Eight

Evelyn’s POV

Escaping the dining room, I had only been in the shower for a few minutes when I heard the

bathroom door’s handle snap and fall to the floor. My heart skips a beat when I look over my shoulder,

and Thaddeus standing in the doorway making me scream in fright. I watch as his chest rises and falls

heavily with each breath he takes, a growl escaping his lips and a look of pure desire gracing his face.

Fear consumes me as his eyes glaze over, turning pitch black. His fangs protruding, forcing his lips to

part. Trying to cover myself as best I can, I keep my back to him. Thaddeus walks in, reaching for the

handle on the shower screen.

“Orion,” I scream out to him, hoping he will make him go away. Orion steps in leaning on the

doorframe, a bored look on his face.

“Thaddeus,” he calls to him. And I watch horrified as Thaddeus snarls, his face distorting in anger

as he turns to Orion. Orion straightens up just as Thaddeus lunges at him. My scream echoes and

bounces off the tiled walls as I frantically turn the water off. I can hear fighting and things getting

broken. Grabbing my towel, I wrap it around myself before stepping into the bedroom. Thaddeus has

Orion on the ground before Orion shoves him off. Ryland walks in and pinches the bridge of his nose. I

look to Ryland, but he just shrugs, and I can tell he isn’t going to help Orion,

getting to his feet when the lights flicker. My heart hammers in my chest and I find it hard to breathe as

I watch both of them fight each. Thaddeus kicks Orion, and he smashes through the wall. Orion doesn’t

even have a chance to get up before Thaddeus stalks toward him. Rushing forward I grip Thaddeus

arm trying to stop when he shoves me away, making me fall onto the carpet at the end of the bed. My

body hitting the floor with a soft thump.

I gasp and I see Ryland go to help me up when Thaddeus’s eyes snap to mine. His entire body

turns as he reaches down, grabbing my ankle. I kick at him before scrambling backwards, clutching my

towel to me. Thaddeus growls and I look to Ryland for help, but he just stands there confusing me.

Thaddeus lunges at me. I try to shove him off and he growls low, making my hair stand on end. His

face in the crook of my neck as he inhales. When he pulls his face back, I see my reflection mirrored in

his demonic eyes. Fear flooding into me as I see Orion stand. I scoot back on my hands, but Thaddeus

just stalks me, following me before he knocks me flat on my back, his hands clawing at my towel, as his

lips and tongue go to my neck. I try to shove him off. Panic consumes me as I watch Orion and Ryland

step closer but do nothing but watch as he pulls me around like a puppet on strings, forcing my hands

above my head. I watch as he lifts his head, his nose running across my cheek. I feel my breath get

caught in my throat when I realise, he isn’t a man in this moment but the monster lurking beneath the

surface. The monster everyone fears, The Dark King.

I can feel my heart bumping my blood around my body, hear my pulse in my ears as he leans his

weight on me. Tears brimming in my eyes as I watch horrified as his fangs graze my lips and I feel my

blood trickle down my chin. When he drops his head into my neck, I know he is going to bite me. My

heart thumps against my chest erratically, and I struggle against his hold on my hands before dropping

my face, trying to shield him from my neck when he growls.

“Orion, please,” I plead with him to help. He goes to step forward when Ryland’s hand to stop him.

“Leave her,” he tells him, making my blood run cold. Why won’t they help? I struggle against

Thaddeus, but his grip just gets stronger as he tugs my towel down before palming my breast roughly.

Crying out when he squeezes it, I feel his fingers bruising my skin. I try to free my hands that are

trapped in one of his. Thaddeus face leaning closer, his eyes not leaving my neck, and I can tell he

wants to feed on me. He was gone too far gone, in this moment everything that makes him part human

gone. His growl was feral, and I see Orion hesitate, but Ryland’s hand gripped his wrist, tugging him

back.

“She needs to learn,” Ryland’s says, making eyebrows furrow. Learn what? How to fucking die? I

think I am a master at near-death experiences. Thaddeus watches me curiously, his head tilting to the

side as he examines my face, like he is trying to remember who I am and what I am to him. His eyes

flicker oddly between their hypnotic green and the black orbs. My eyes dart to his razor-sharp fangs, so

close to my face, making me wonder if dying will hurt when he sinks them into me. Adrenaline courses

through me I watch as he sniffs the air closing his eyes relishing my scent, and I do the only thing I can

in the position I am in, completely at his mercy.

I kiss him, his fangs slicing through the skin on my lips. He froze for a second, and I could

practically see the wheels turning in his head, trying to decide if he wanted to kill me or take me. I went

to pull back from him, unsure, when his hand gripped my hair tightly, making me scream at his

viciousness. His tongue plunges into my mouth, swallowing my scream as he hungrily devoured my

lips, pushing himself between my legs.

His hand grips my hips and his nails bite into my flesh painfully as he continued his brutal assault

on my lips before finally letting me catch my breath as his lips moved to my chin and I sucked in much

needed air. His lips biting and sucking on my flesh savagely as he used his hand to tug my towel down,

exposing my breast before he bit into it. Tears brim and fall down my face as I tried to get him to loosen

his grip, his nails cutting into me everywhere he grabbed me, his fangs grazing my ribs as he hungrily

devoured my skin.

The pain becoming too much, and I knew I was covered in bite marks and was bleeding onto the

carpet. I feel his fangs sink into my other breast and I gasp, choking on air at the searing pain.

“Please stop, you’re hurting me, Thaddeus,” I choked out, and he froze again. My hand shakily

touches his face, pulling it away from my chest. He looks at me and it is like it is the first time he

noticed me. Really noticed what he was doing to me. He sat up on his elbows and looked over my

body, and I could see the fear in his eyes at what he just did. His hand going to the bite mark on the top

of my boob, and I wince when his fingertips brush it, making his eyes dart to mine.

“I’m sorry, I… I…” He doesn’t finish, just gets up before looking down at me as I clutched the towel,

trying to wrap it around me and cover myself. He then turns on his heel and leaves the room. Ryland

and Orion watch me as I sit up. Orion offers me his hand and I slap it away.

“Why didn’t you help me?” I ask, feeling tears run down my cheeks. My skin was stinging, and I

could feel blood running down my thigh from my hips as I stood up. Orion looked hurt by my words

before he turned and glared at Ryland.

Ryland’s POV

Helping her would have just frightened her and caused more damage. Plus, she could get hurt in

the process. Orion, I could tell, wasn’t forgiving of what I just did, leaving her at his mercy. She was

terrified of him, and she had a good reason. Thaddeus was more monster than man. More instinctual

and ran purely off emotions. Evelyn needs to learn her fear only entices him, makes him crave her like

a drug. She doesn’t realise how much her fear perfumes the room, how strong her scent becomes

when she is in this state. Some may think what I did was cruel, but she needs to realise that being

around Thaddeus she needs to control her emotions.

We wouldn’t have let him rape her, would have stopped in when he tried. We could both see he

was hurting her, but I wanted to see if she could reign him in, bring him back from the darkness that

had a hold over him. Orion and I have tried for decades to help him remain in control, both of us given

up hope of taming him. I wanted to help him become a better man, but the lifestyle I must admit is

addictive, taking what you want when you want it. Orion never agreed, but to me it was just easier than

putting up with his wrath. I knew Thaddeus loved us in his own way, as much as the dark Tribrid can.

With Evelyn, I could feel him fighting himself more, trying more with her. She just saw him as a

monster, yet if she knew him before we saw her she would be right in thinking that. But he is always

holding himself back with her, even if it doesn’t seem like it. Trying to be what she wants, so she

doesn’t fear him.

Anyone else, he would have just fucked them and ripped them to pieces when he was done or

drained them. Humans were mere toys to him, something to fulfill his needs and a food source, but with

her he struggled to not take what he wants. A struggle it was, but at least he was struggling. If she

weren’t our mate, she would be dead already, and the fact she was ours gave me hope that there was

still a part of him clinging to the shred of humanity he has left.

When Evelyn cried out that he was hurting her, I watched his back tense. Could feel him trying to

bring himself back at the sound of her voice, like a switch being flicked he sat up. Looking down at her

bruised and battered body, his guilt hit me like a tonne of bricks. I watched as he stuttered over his

words, and in the entire thirty-seven years I have been with him, I have never seen him try to apologise

to someone, let alone ever felt guilt or fear through the bond from his actions. Even when he hurt us, he

never apologised, just became angered. Evelyn brought back emotions I had never felt from him

before. Emotions that I know, Thaddeus sees as weakness. The merciless monster feeling something

not even Orion or I could bring out of him.

Decades we tried and failed, she has been with us for just over twenty-fours and got more emotion

out of him then we have. She may think he is a monster, may fear him. But little did she know she

would have him wrapped around her fingers in no time. She has the power the change him and

witnessing this moment gave me hope. He wasn’t gone completely. Wasn’t lost to the darkness, maybe

he could be saved. Maybe she could be the one that saves him.
