Sinful Mates 1-3

chapter 142 Forty

Evelyn’s POV

Ryland drove us to a motel, we had no idea where to go, all we knew was that I couldn’t go back

so that didn’t leave many options. The motel was one of those ones you find on the highway in the

middle of nowhere that looks like something a serial killer used to stalk their victims. The man behind

the counter looked like he didn’t get much human interaction, he was awkward and made me feel

uncomfortable.

Even after we were inside, I checked the locks and the windows, Ryland shook his head at my

paranoia.

“What are you doing?” he asked as I checked the door once again.

“Checking the door, he gave me the creeps,” I tell him, and Ryland shakes his head chuckling to

himself.

“You’re in a motel room with a Lycan but that puny human gives you the creeps?” he scoffs.

“You don’t scare me. You’re mine, I trust you not to murder me in my sleep and stuff me as a

house ornament,” I tell him looking out the window.

“You need to stop watching Bates Motel,” Ryland says pulling me away from the window.

“Do you think Orion and Thaddeus are okay?”

“We would feel it if they weren’t, stop worrying. Come let’s shower then get some sleep” he says.

“You shower, I will watch to make sure no one comes in,” I tell him. I have watched way too many

horror movies and know shit always goes down when you’re showering.

“Evelyn, I promise anyone comes in they won’t be leaving alive. Come have a shower with me” he

says before walking over to the bag and unzipping it. He pulled out some clothes for me placing them

on the bed.

“I need to get clothes tomorrow. All he packed was one set of clothes for you the rest is cash,”

Ryland says, shaking his head.

Ryland starts stripping off his clothes before walking into the bathroom.

“Evelyn shower,” He sings out and I look toward the door, before following him in and locking the

bathroom door, I know it’s irrational, but I have an irrational fear of motels and spiders, so I knew I was

not going to be getting much sleep if we continue to stay in motels. I actually missed home, I would

rather Thaddeus, least I know he is psychotic, people tend to hide their true intentions well, Thaddeus

don’t care if you don’t like him, you know what you’re going to get with him, well most of the time. But

he could be sweet, a little bipolar but sweet when he wanted to be.

Ryland rips me into the shower as soon as I strip my clothes off. While washing my hair though, I

heard a knock on the door, alarm hitting me.

My heart beating rapidly. Ryland groans before stepping out not even grabbing a towel just walks

out and answers the door. I hear nothing but silence before suddenly the door swings open and I hide

behind the shower curtain.

“Why are you hiding?” Orion asks, pulling the curtain back and I jump on him wrapping my arms

around him.

“Where is Thaddeus?” I ask, looking to see if he was in the room. When I don’t see him, I pull

back. Orion shakes his head.

“I don’t know, we had an argument, and he took off when he didn’t return after a few hours, I came

looking for you” he says.

I don’t remember him ringing or Ryland telling him where we were.

“How did you find us?” I ask confused. Orion smiles before pressing a kiss to my mark. He sucks

on it and I moan loudly, sparks running straight to the apex of my thighs.

“Your mark pulls us in the general direction of you, that’s how Ryland found you when you left. We

can feel direction just not exact place and as long as you’re conscious we can find you no matter where

you go” he says. Ryland steps past and I move over letting him in. The shower was only small so Orion

couldn’t fit so instead he sat on the sink basin watching us. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Don’t suppose you brought any clothes?” Ryland asks him as he steps out wrapping a towel

around his waist. Orion nods before walking out grabbing a bag. He tosses some loose-fitting pants To

Ryland and I grab my track pants and shirt. Drying myself, I slip them on.

“Where do you think he went?” I ask Orion.

“Don’t know Evelyn, this isn’t the first time he has gone off the radar. He can mask himself, so we

can’t feel him. Last time we didn’t find him till he came looking for us, which was about three months.”

“Three months?” I gasp. I couldn’t imagine being without them more than a couple of days, no

matter how much I deny it. The mate bond was in full swing, without them is like losing a piece of

yourself.

“He will come back, for now we just need to think of what to do nex.t” Orion says.

“What did you do last time?” I ask.

“Well, I went to mum and dad’s.” Orion says.

“And I went searching for him,” Ryland answers.

“So, you two didn’t see each other either,” I ask and they both nod.

“No, but we still had communication.”

“Why didn’t you look for him with Ryland?” I ask curious. Orion doesn’t answer but Ryland does.

“Because Thaddeus was in a dark place. He enjoyed hurting us. Orion couldn’t take it and tried to

leave,” Ryland answered.

“Hurting you?”

“Yeah, you think what he did to you was bad? He locked Orion up for two years in a cell under the

house and drained him of his blood, so he was weak.”

His answer just led me to more questions.

“Why?”

“Because I left him, I didn’t want to be a part of his effort to destroy the world,” Orion answers.

“Amara and Bianca got him out, finally made Thaddeus see what he was doing was wrong.”

“Why didn’t you?” I ask, wondering how he could let his mate suffer at the hands of his other mate.

“Because he scared me, and I wasn’t a good person, Evelyn. I enjoyed being with Thaddeus,

doing what he was doing.” His answer floored me, I was gobsmacked. He enjoyed killing people with

Thaddeus.

“So, what changed?” I ask wondering when he suddenly stopped going along with everything

Thaddeus did.

“I met you” he answers, and I look to Orion and he shrugs.

“But you weren’t like them?” I ask him.

“No, I like humans Evelyn, like their humanity. Like their simple minds and energy. I have never

agreed with Ryland and Thaddeus’s ways.”

“Then why did you stay?”

“The mate bond, you can’t escape it. Three months without him was torture, kills your soul and you

become a shell of yourself without them,” he says.

His answer scares me. What if he doesn’t come back? Will I become like Orion and Ryland a

vacant shell of a person?

“We should get some sleep. We might go to mum and dad’s tomorrow, least you might be more

comfortable there with Amara and Imogen,” Ryland says. And I agree, I don’t know how I will handle

going from motel to motel.
