Fated to Them (book 1+2)

Chapter 25

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 25 – Cyrus Colten POV

Revolting things human’s, I hated this part of our Job, hated that I had to tolerate these disgusting

beings. Annoying with their heads always on their phones and taking selfies. Things were different

when I was still human, simpler but now I couldn’t tolerate them. So self-absorbed in perfection, money

and gaining power, selfish is what they are. I hated coming here, if my mate Eli weren’t with me, I

wouldn’t have bothered but this is a necessary part of owning a successful business. Necessary to

keep things going and up to date, it would only be for a short time I remind myself; I only have to

tolerate them for a few meetings, I usually send Eli, he is better dealing with human’s than me and he

didn’t crave their blood, have a hunger for their d***h’s and the urges I had. That was until I met Adeline

Paisley, she didn’t know it yet but she would be ours, she was the exception to the hate I have for

humans, she was different, not self-absorbed, I couldn’t understand her, didn’t understand how she

could willing put herself in danger to save a child, claiming he had more right to live then her.

Ever since I laid eyes on her that first day I haven’t been able to stay away from her,

Eli was the same, this is most we have ever spent at work, voluntarily wanting to go just to spend time

with her. Eli was a Lycan and before meeting me he had his own pack, but I couldn’t handle being

around them, too much for my bloodlust, an insatiable hunger enough to send one mad, yet here I was

about to get out of the car and entertain a bunch of morons. The things you do for your mate, though

he sacrificed his entire pack to remain with me, so I could do this for him.

I have had over 700 years to get to where my life is now and these simple-minded human’s think they

can attain perfection in their short lives. Nothing is perfect and once you stop striving for perfection

everything that doesn’t matter melts away, yet they still try, such obnoxious selfish beings and yet they

would call us monsters. they have done nothing but ruin the planet with their disgusting filth, turning

species extinct all to gain knowledge and a feeling of self-worth.

Little did they know, the world wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. If only they knew what was really

lurking amongst them. Predators far worse than anything they could imagine, more dangerous than

anything they could conjure up in their nightmares.

“Will you stop fidgeting and working yourself up” Eli says to me as we get ready to leave work it was

nearly 9PM, I growI at him, I wanted to leave hours ago when Addie did, I hated being here she was

the only reason I bother coming in, the noise and the people here sending me nuts. Eli doesn’t have to

put up with their blood calling to him. Doesn’t have to put up with hearing the chatter in their heads like l

do. We were being audited and the place was bustling with people still as we went down in the elevator

to the foyer floor.

“Seriously stop Cyrus, you can’t go in there in a bad mood. Last thing I need right now is trying to cover

up that you k****d an employee again, remember the drama’s last time?” He states.

He was right, I needed to stop over thinking, my hate for them was becoming a problem, their childlike

minds and distasteful thoughts irritated me, but I suppose they weren’t to be blamed, they all have this

image in their heads of what they need to strive for, what they need to accomplish when in reality very

few actually accomplish anything in their lifetimes, time was not on their sides.

One of the reasons I love Eli so much, he has been with me for 300 years now, and I love the silence of

being with him, never having to hear the chatter in his head because he was my mate and made him

immune to my powers, unless he wants to tell me, mates our other half, I wasn’t even shocked when I

discovered he was male, I was always bisexual, Eli on the other hand was furious he never had any

desires to be with a man but eventually I won him over.

Getting out of the elevator, Eli by my side as I step outside, fixing his grey suit jacket. I could smell the

left-over scents of peoples perfumes, and their sweat. When I notice Abbie’s car across the road. I

nudge Eli and he looks up.

“Wait today is Friday, you don’t think?” Eli says as I look in the windows of the diner across the street. I

growled, my mate fooling around with another man, this wasn’t acceptable. I understand she doesn’t

understand the mate bond, doesn’t know what she is to us, but I won’t put up with this, she is ours not

anyone else’s.

“Cyrus wait,” Eli calls as I stalk across the road. Eli grabs my arm pulling me back.

“I will deal with her, just don’t k**l anybody” He says, stepping forward. We stepped into the diner, her

scent hitting me before my eyes landed on her in a booth in the back, a man sat with her as they talked

happily. My gums tingling with the urge to rip the b*****d apart when I see him lean over the table and

put his filthy lips on what’s mine. Eli growls low, luckily low enough no one heard over the music.

I watch as Eli walks over to them, sitting in the booth next to Abigail, her shock and embarrassment

making me smirk at the fact that she had been caught out, tension filled the trio as her boy toy stared at

my mates confused.

“Hi, can I help you?” This Sam asks looking between them.

“Adeline!” He exclaims, Abbie’s face turning a shade darker as embarrassment and her anger

consumes her.

“Hi, I am Eli. Addie’s boss” Eli says politely, yet I knew he wanted nothing more than to rip him to

pieces and punish our mate for her behaviour, we made it clear the other day at her mother’s place we

wanted her, yet she still sought him out.

“Okay, Adeline what’s going on?” He asks.

“I am so sorry about this, we will just go” Abbie tells him, oh sweets you won’t be going anywhere with

this man, I think to myself as Eli pulls her back down in her seat. Her eyes went to me and I can’t help

the glare that was directed at her. I was pissed off, she was ours and she was fooling around with this

tool.

“Sit down, Addie,” Eli warns her.

“Okay I don’t know what’s going on here, but Adeline call me when you figure it out,” Sam says,

hopping up and stepping past me awkwardly, glancing warily at me before sending me one last glance

and rushing out the door.

“I can’t believe you just did that, what the f**k is wrong with you” She yells her anger making her scent

stronger, g*d I wish I could read her mind, figure out how she thinks.

“Tone we are in a public setting” I tell her as she starts to draw attention to us.

“F**k this move Eli” she screams at him.

“Sit down Adeline now” Eli tells her.

“No, you just humiliated me, all because you have it stuck in your head that I am in some sort of weird

f*****g relationship with you, you had no right to do that. Now move or I will scream and cause a f*****g

scene” Eli lets her get up and she tosses cash on the table and we follow her out, Eli snatches her keys

from her hand, locking her car before he grabs her arm pulling her away and toward ours across the

street.

“Give me my f*****g keys and let go” She yells as I follow them, Eli tugs her along when she starts

fighting against him, she is silly to think she escape us.

“Addeline” I snapped. When she suddenly slaps him, Eli growls and I watch his body tense as he fights

the urge to shift in the middle of the street, a group of teenagers loitering out front of the building

watching in h****r, along with the waitress as Eli shoves her in the car, while I climb in the driver’s seat,

she continues fighting kicking and trying to shove him off as he climbs in with her.

“What are you doing?” She screams as I start the car.

“What I should have done from the f*****g start” Eli growls, I try to reach for him but its to late as his

beast takes over and he sinks his canines into her neck, she screams as pain rips through her neck

before she passes out cold. I keep driving, watching Eli in the mirror as he wipes her blood from his

lips.

“Now you have done it” I tell him when he sits up. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“She needs to learn, at least now she won’t be able to fight the mate bond now”

“You’re right now she is going to be petrified of us when she wakes, I thought we were going to do this

the human way to make her like us before revealing ourselves” I tell him.

“You can just erase this memory and give her a new one” Eli says having it all figured out. We need to

just tell her to come clean, but I know that is a disaster as well, nothing is going to plan.
