Sinful Mates 1-3

chapter 167

Ryland’s POV

One minute everything was fine, everyone enjoying themselves. Flipping the steaks on the

barbeque I was waiting for Evelyn to bring out the tea towel I asked her for. I was about to walk back

into the house to check on her, when a shockwave blasted everyone away from the house. None of us

saw it coming, none of us expected this to happen. The windows on the house exploded sending

shards of glass everywhere.

I could hear everyone screaming, smoke and flames everywhere. Sitting up from where I landed

next to the shed. I see smoke billowing out of the house. Hear my daughter screaming her lungs out

and I look to Orion who had her last time I checked. I spot them near the car. Orion tried to calm her but

they seemed okay and intact. Everyone picks themselves up off the ground when I feel Evelyn’s pain

smash into me. Orion screams at the same time I jumped to my feet remembering she was still in the

house. Thaddeus screams her name as everyone runs toward the house. Thaddeus and I try to get in

through the back door. The roof crushed inwards as we tried to push our way in. Her pain gets stronger

before she suddenly goes numb and I feel shock wash over her.

Thaddeus walks back a few steps and I manage to jump out of the way just as he uses his body to

crash straight through the side of the house. Smoke and dust billowing out of the hole he just made.

We both force our way through the rubble trying to make our way through to what's left of the kitchen.

The fridge blocks the doorway to the laundry and Thaddeus kicks it with so much force the roof caves Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

in on top of us as it hits the laundry wall.

“Evelyn?” I sing out into the smoke filled room barely able to see through the wreckage of our

home. I hear her make a strangled noise like she is choking when I see her leaning against the bench.

Relief hitting me as she stares back before she coughs, blood spewing from her mouth and running

down her chin. Only then do I notice what is clutched in her hands. At first I didn’t understand until she

screamed. The sound so horridly agonised my stomach drops and Thaddeus growls ripping through

the debri trying to get to her as she suddenly slumps forward, her body going limp around the

splintered wood that went pierced through her.

Thaddues hands frantically tried to do something to help but I could feel even he was unsure on

what to do, the splintered wood going straight through her pelvis. I grab her shoulders, holding her

upright, realising we have no choice but to pull the wooden table leg from her to release her from where

she was pinned. Thaddeus wraps his hands around the wood and rips the splintered wood from her

before grabbing her. She slumps forward over his shoulder, blood trailing down his body as I try to clear

a big enough path for him to squeeze through and having to hold up a part of the roof for him to

squeeze through to the laundry and out the hole in the wall he caused.

Thaddeus places her on the ground, both of us completely covered in dust and smoke.My heart

skipping a beat as I see Orion pass our daughter off to Imogen who was watching horrified as we try to

save our mate and son.

Orion moves quickly as he plunges his hand into her stomach. I could hear her skin tearing, blood

gushing out of her turning the ground red and staining the earth. Thaddeus pacing clutching his hair

while I stood shocked watching on helplessly. Her skin turned paler as the seconds ticked by when

suddenly Orion pulled the umbilical cord out, the placenta coming out. The wood had gone straight

through the placenta. I watch his hand moving in her stomach when he pulls our son out, his tiny body

clutched in his hands.

That memory forever burned into my soul, he was perfect, perfectly unharmed by looking at him,

but the silence that follows was deafening. We waited to hear the cry, the cry of life. Everyone holds

their breath as Orion tries and fails to make him breathe. He was gone, everything we had worked hard

for, for the past year turning to dust before our eyes. Building a future that was now shattered to

oblivion.

Orion looks up, his face haunted as he shakes his head. My legs buckling under me and I hit the

ground hard. Orion is the only one able to keep his composure along with Theo but I could feel Orion's

devastation hitting me, hitting Thaddeus breaking all of us. Theo grabs our son shielding him away

from our daughter’s eyes. Evelyn splayed out on the ground unmoving when Orion stood up, ripping

me toward her. I stare at her body, looking at the destruction it caused her.

Orion bites into my wrist holding it over her mouth and we all wait. She wasn’t dead, her injuries

were bad but not enough to kill but her waking with the realisation of what we all just lost, what she lost

just may be enough for her to wish for death. I stared in shock looking at everyone watching Orion

working on our mate.

Amara was muttering and banging on her head with her fists as she paced, Tobias trying to calm

her. Nothing felt real. I looked around at everyone's grief stricken faces and yet I felt dead inside, like it

was some nightmare I was trapped in. Nothing makes sense and I keep finding my eyes going back to

our son in Theo’s arms, waiting expectantly for the sound of his cries, praying for some kind of miracle

to happen when suddenly Thaddeus screams. Anger smashes into me like never before and I hear

Imogen shriek as the necklace containing Thaddeus magic suddenly ruptures and she rips it from her

neck tossing it on the ground. The darkness creeping out and escaping its restraints looking for its

owner and that owner was Thaddeus.

“Thaddeus No!” Amara screams. Everything happening in the blink of an eye as I watch horrified

as the dark mist of his magic rushes toward him so quickly no one has time to react. I watch as it hits

him in the dead centre of the chest. I feel it through the bond rushing through him cold and sickly

sweet, sadistic as it consumes him. Black tendrils creep under his skin and I see him take a deep

breath, his eyes turning obsidian as he looks at his hands, black veins spreading over his body and

over his face consuming him as his magic bleeds into his soul tainting it with its madness. Amara only

just managed to put up a shield in time, blocking his magic as it burst from him along with his sorrow.

Amara’s hands go forward as she blocks his magic as it rushes toward us, her heels digging into

the ground while it pushes her back as she tries to hold it back from us. He flattens everything around

us before collapsing onto the ground. Amara drops her magic before bracing her hands on her knees,

sweat coating her skin and dripping onto the ground from her chin. I look around and find we are

surrounded by a huge crater bored into the earth.

Orion is still frantically trying to awaken Evelyn who was still unconscious. I feel Orion’s teeth bite

into my wrist again as he tries to get her to heal and I still feel nothing completely numb.
