Fated to Them (book 1+2)

Chapter 57

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 57 – Eli Colten POV

I could feel Cyrus disapproval as he watched me watching her, the phone in my pocket felt like it was

burning holes in it, I was livid that she would even try to keep in contact with him. I know she doesn’t

feel the bond as strong as us, but it still felt like betrayal to me. It was lucky Cyrus heard her hiding

something, or we may never have known, and a phone was one of the easiest things to track to our

whereabouts even a burner phone, harder to trace but not impossible and the hunters organisation was

well equipped and advanced with technology.

I walked out of the kitchen leaving her with Cyrus, I could feel his eyes on me as I walked out of the

room going to the shed. I grab the hammer about to smash the phone when Cyrus walks in.

“You sure that is wise?” He asks.

“You should be with Addie” I tell him before smashing the phone and grabbing a bucket. I fill it with

water from the sink in the corner of the shed before dropping the phone in it.

“You trying to control her, will only push her away. You need to trust her, how do you expect her to trust

us when you don’t trust her”

“Well if you would mark her it wouldn’t be a problem, and I wasn’t hiding a phone to contact an old

lover” I retorted, annoyed that he was refusing without her permission.

“I want her to want me on her own terms, I won’t force her. But you cutting her off from everyone will

make her want to run” Cyrus snaps at me.

“And if he tells her then what, I won’t have her running around with the likes of a f*****g hunter Cyrus,

one she is in love with”

“She doesn’t love him, just thinks she does,” Cyrus says, pinching the skin between his eyes in

frustration.

“Through The bond it sure feels like she is in love with him to me”

“Did you ever think maybe she wants him because you told her she can’t have him?” He says, making

me look at him.

“Let her figure it out herself,” He says.

“So you are happy for her to be with him, just give her up?”

“I’m not giving her up, but I won’t force her, we forced her here already, the bond will kick in with or

without me marking me her. We f****d up by making a big deal out of Sam and it has made her curious”

“And if he tells her, she finds out what we did, do you really think she will be so forgiving to accept us”

“The bond won’t allow her to leave, why can’t you understand that?” Cyrus argues.

“That’s not a risk I am willing to take, mark her Cyrus or let me do things my way” I tell him.

“Is everything alright” Addelyn asks coming in, she must have heard us arguing. I look over at her trying

to keep my anger off my face, it mustn’t have worked because she takes a step back.

“Everything is fine Addie go back inside, we will be in soon” I tell her. I watch her leave waiting for her

to be out of earshot.

“Just let it be Cyrus, she handed it over she wouldn’t be thinking we would let her keep it” I tell him and

he glares at me before walking out after her.

Cyrus is always willing to bend over backward for her even if it means she leaves us. It irritates me, if

he would just mark her we could be done with this hunter business and change her. That is the ultimate

goal but for her to agree, she needs to be bonded fully to us. Without that she would never agree to

giving up her family for good. Newborn vampires were unpredictable and we were going to have

enough trouble getting the council to agree, so if she doesn’t choose it when they speak with her, they

won’t agree to us keeping her, they will k**l her with no regard for us and the fact that she is our mate,

though Sam I know has pull with our council too, he could convince them to force us to hand her over,

to rival organisations working together to keep the order and unfortunately Addie is linked in more ways

than one to both sides.

If Sam tells her of our intentions she may just run, not that she would be able to hide from us, nor would

I stop looking for her, then there was our other issue. Sam knows what happened when he was there,

he tells her and she will hates us, making everything more difficult.

Walking out of the shed and into the foyer. I look for them, finding Addie in the living room. Addie sitting

on the couch looking bored, Cyrus nowhere to be seen.

“Where is Cyrus?” She asks looking over at me.

“You didn’t see him?” I ask her confused. I thought he came back in with her. Hearing footsteps behind

me I turn and see Cyrus walking toward me and out of the kitchen keys in his hand.

“I am here” He says and I could feel his burning anger through the bond, his need to feed as he tried to

shove it away. I press my lips together. He was mad and I could see this wasn’t going to be the last

argument over this topic. He will be marking her or I will be locking her away, he knows this. That was

the reason we came here, to keep her away from Sam. I won’t have her gallivanting around with him.

“We should head to work” I tell her and she hops up sweeping her hair over her shoulder. Cyrus walks

outside going to the car.

“What’s wrong with him?” She asks stopping next to me and looking at me.

“Nothing, come we should go” I tell her, placing my hand on her lower back and escorting her outside.

Cyrus hops in the driver’s seat starting the ignition. Addie climbs in the back and instead of getting in This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

beside Cyrus I hop in the back with her, needing her to calm the raging beast within me. To calm my

racing mind.
