Fated to Them (book 1+2)

Chapter 33

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 33 – I walk to the steps, Eli’s grip on my hand tightening

like he thought as soon as the door came into view I would run. That would be foolish knowing Cyrus

was directly behind me. Instead, I followed them inside. This house was much different than the one in

Soya, and reminded me of a log cabin just a little bigger.

It had Slate floors and exposed beams and a modern rustic feel to it, vastly different from the way they

presented themselves in the office. I followed them into the kitchen and Cyrus pulled out a stool.

“Sit” He says, and I do, leaning on the black marble bench top. Cyrus makes himself busy making

coffee, while I look around from my seated position.

“This place is different from your place in Soya,” I tell them.

“We prefer Soya, less people and further out” Eli says, and I nod.

“We can’t let you leave now, not now that you know what we are”

“Why? Even if I did say anything people would think I had lost the plot, I don’t even think my mother

would believe this” I tell him. They say nothing but look between each other before Cyrus hands me a

cup.

I sniff it and Cyrus raises an eyebrow at me.

“I didn’t poison it if that is what you’re wondering” I shrug,

“I wouldn’t be surprised if you did, I just watched him turn into a dog” I tell him and Eli growls. I roll my

eyes sipping the coffee.

“Werewolf” Eli says.

“Same Slight difference, you got a tail and fur” I tell him. He seems thoughtful for a second and Cyrus

chuckles.

“So, you are both werewolves?” I say the words sounding insane just leaving my lips.

“No, I am different” Cyrus states, making me look at him.

“How so?” I ask, to me they both look human until one started sprouting fur and growling. I kind of wish

I didn’t know now, it seemed easier being oblivious to what they are, now my head was swimming with

questions and fear of my d***h.

“He is a vampire,” Eli says like it is no big deal.

“I would say that is crazy but after what I just saw” I shake my head losing my train of thought. They

both watch me making me feel uncomfortable.

“Wait so you k**l people?” I ask suddenly creeped out I have seen Dracula and him saying that now

just made more terrified than being ripped apart by Eli.

“No, I get blood from Eli” He asks, cocking his head to the side watching my face. I let his words

register.

“Does it hurt?” I ask him. Eli smiles.

“Of all the questions you wonder if it hurts, to be bitten by a vampire?” He asks, shaking his head.

“No, Addie it doesn’t hurt, the opposite actually” Eli answers.

“Anymore questions?” Cyrus asks. I did have one but kind of childish to ask. I look at Eli and he rolls

his eyes like he knew what I was going to ask.

“Go on spit it out”

“What?”

“You’re too embarrassed to ask something, so I am assuming it’s something I am going to find

hilarious” He states.

“How do you know though?” I ask and he rolls his eyes.

“That mark on your neck, I feel what you feel” He says, and my hands instinctively go to it.

“Like everything I feel?” I ask.

“Yes, Addie everything, I could even feel you with Sam this afternoon” He says, his eyes darkening

slightly making goosebumps rise on my skin.

Fear courses through me, worry nagging at me and my head was starting to hurt from everything it was

trying to process.

“You don’t need to fear us” Eli says.

“You say that, but I am not allowed to leave” I state.

“We let you leave, you will run” Cyrus says. I shake my head when Eli growls making my eyes dart to

him.

“I can feel what you feel, Addie, even before you know what you’re feeling and one thing I am certain of

is, you will run” Eli says. He was right. I had every intention of running, but now I was wondering if I will

ever get the chance. But what would happen with my family, would they k**l them if I ran but then what

happens with Maya and my mother if they didn’t. No doubt my sister would leave again, I have given up

on thinking she would ever recover from her addictions though we try it’s always the same result, she

remains clean then spirals again.

“What are you thinking?” Cyrus asks.

“Nothing, it doesn’t matter” I tell them.

“Then why do you feel worried, we have told you we won’t hurt you” Eli says.

“I want to go home” I tell him, and he sighs.

“Fine but one of us comes with you”

“I won’t tell anyone, I promise. I have to run Maya to school in the morning” I tell them.

“Or you could stay here, and we can pick her up on the way to work” Cyrus says.

“We aren’t letting you go anywhere without us” Eli states.

“Ring your mother and tell her we will be by in the morning to get Maya before school starts,” Cyrus

says, handing me his phone.

“I am not staying here” I tell them.

“So, one of us goes with you” Cyrus states.

Cyrus grabs my keys off the bench before walking off somewhere and returning with a suit, he hands it

to Eli before passing him my keys.

“Come on then” I look to Eli as he folds the suit over his arm.

“I can go by myself Eli, I won’t run, I won’t tell anyone” I tell him.

“I know you won’t because I will be with you” He says turning and pecking Cyrus on the lips, when

Cyrus grabs the back of his head, deepening the k**s as I watch his tongue slip into his mouth making

Eli pull him closer.

Arousal flooded me at seeing them like this, yet it also weirded me out slightly that it actually turned me

on so much. Cyrus lets him go and Eli reluctantly moves away, both of them turning to me. Cyrus

smirked.

“Like what you see Addie?” Eli asks his lips tugging slightly in the corners

“No” I lie pressing my legs together.

“By the smell of your scent I would say otherwise” Cyrus says, making my face heat.

“You can smell my scent?” I ask confused by exactly what it is that they could smell.

“Yes, and your arousal, pretend all you want that you don’t want us Addie, your body gives you away Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

every time” Cyrus says making my cheeks flame red.
