chapter 199
I lay there completely exhausted. When I hear Thaddeus' panicked voice making me sit up.
"See told ya, a bloody bread bag. You're too big for these things" I hear Ryland say.
My heart rate picks up, they are joking right?
"Maybe she won't notice," Ryland says.
"Notice what?" I ask and they go quiet. Orion walks out.
"Please don't panic, the chances are low especially since it took a year before you fell pregnant the
first time"
"What?" I squeak.
Sitting up, Thaddeus walks out with a pair of shorts on, along with Ryland, both of them staring at
me nervously.
"It broke didn't it?"
"It's not like I meant for it to happen" Thaddeus says.
"This can't be happening" I say to myself when I feel the bed dip, hot tears running down my face
and into my hair as I flop back on the bed.
Orion climbs on the bed straddling my hips. "What do you want to do?" He says, making me look
at him.
"Don't cry, why are you crying?"
"Because he only has to sneeze in my direction and I get knocked up" I choke out.
"Somehow I don't think it works that way" he says, making me laugh from the thoughtful look on
his face.
"You know what I mean, he has super sperm and I know you won't let me take them pills"
"It's fine Evie, firstly the chances are pretty low since you have been taking those pills, secondly
would it really be a bad thing if you were?"
"Yes! I don't want anymore, we can't replace him. I don't want to replace him" I tell him, the words
leaving my lips really making what I said hit home.
"Having more kids isn't replacing our son, nothing will replace him Evie. He was here, he was ours
and nothing will replace him but that doesn't mean we can't move on and have more" Orion says.
I shake my head, "not saying now, like I said the chances of you falling pregnant are low because
of those pills, but later on you may change your mind" he says leaning down and kissing my tear
stained face.
I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him closer when he sniffs me before pulling back.
A strange look on his face,
"You do smell different" he says and I look to Ryland in panic. Orion, noticing my gaze, looks at
him too. Thaddeus staring between the three of us.
"Evie?" Orion says, I shake my head and Ryland steps forward but Orion dips his face back to my
neck, running his nose across my shoulder inhaling my scent. I don't know how he could smell anything
while I was covered in their scents and had fed off both Ryland and Thaddeus.
"Evie?" Orion says, looking at Thaddeus.
"What?" I squeak but he knew, Orion knew.
"Did you eat our mailman?" Orion asks. Thaddeus seemed shocked like the thought never crossed
his mind.
"No! Of course not" I tell him. Ryland lips pressed together as he looked at the ceiling.
"Evie, where is our mailman?" Orion asks.
"Probably at home, doing mailman things" I tell him and Ryland snorts before containing himself.
"She killed the mailman" Orion says to Thaddeus who pinches the bridge of his nose and shakes
his head.
"Where did you put him,Evie?" Thaddeus says and my eyes dart to Ryland who was staring at the
roof. He looks down noticing us all staring at him.
"What?" He says looking just as guilty as me.
"And you helped her cover it up?" Thaddeus says. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"No he ran into the hole I buried him in, of course I tried to cover it up she is our wife" Ryland says.
Orion groans before hopping off me. "Evie!" says Thaddeus with a sigh.
"It's not her fault, Thaddeus I shouldn't have left her with him" Orion says, grabbing my hands and
pulling me to a sitting position.
"Get dressed we need to dig up our mailman and return him to his family"
"What?"
"I will take care of it but you can't just hide a body, he would have a family. You should have known
better Ryland"
"What, I was going to deal with it," Ryland says.
"Yeah that's why you buried him and exactly how were you going to take care of it? Have Lycans
developed compulsion?" He asks.
"No!"
"Exactly, come on. You killed him and now you help dig him up" Thaddeus says looking at me.
"And you," Thaddeus says, pointing at Ryland. "I will deal with later"
"What? So she kills someone but I get punished for hiding it?"
"Yes, you should have told us"
"What about her?" Ryland says.
"Do you want her punished?" Thaddeus asks him.
"No, of course not," Ryland says.
"Good, because you’re delivering his mail," Thaddeus tells him.
"Come again?"
"You heard me"
"What is the point in that?" Ryland asks.
"There isn't one, I just wanna see you in a mailman's outfit" Thaddeus snorts before laughing.
Ryland shows us where he buried him. Only when we got there the body was gone, like he dug
himself out.
"Shit, I gave him vampire blood to heal him" Orion says.
"Great, this just keeps getting better" Thaddeus says when we hear a scared whimper. We spin
looking around for the sound.
Walking around the side of the shed, I see the mailman crouched on the ground.
"Please don't kill me, I didn't see anything I swear" the man begs. Thaddeus approaches him and
he flinches.
"We won't hurt you, but you're going to have to come with me" Thaddeus says, offering his hand to
him. The man hesitates before taking it, letting Thaddeus pull him to his feet. Thaddeus looks at his
neck.
"Little lower Evie you would have marked him" Thaddeus says and I look away guiltily.
"Are you going to kill me?"
Thaddeus claps a hand on his shoulder. "Sorry to tell you buddy, but you're already dead" The
man looks at him.
"Hey don't blame me, blame her" he says pointing to me.
"I'm so sorry, truly I am but my husband can help you" I tell him. The man looks confused. Ryland
steps toward me and the man's eyes glaze over, turning crimson and he sniffs the air. Fangs protrude
from his lips and he touches them before touching his face.
"What have you done to me?" he shrieks. Ryland moves but instinct to feed kicks in and he lunges
at Ryland. Thaddeus' eyes turn black and he claps his hands, the noise deafening and the man drops
to the ground clutching his head before he reaches Ryland. Orion grabs his arm and Thaddeus the
other picking him up.
"You two inside and watch Mara while we take him to the council" Thaddeus says and I nod feeling
terribly guilty.
“On the plus side he can't make me wear his outfit now” Ryland snickers, steering me toward the
house.
