Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 180

　　Waking the next morning I get up, quickly showering and getting changed into my jeans and polo shirt. Throwing my hair up into a bun while I walk down the stairs trying to remember where I put my shoes. Finding them by the door I quickly slip them on and walk into the dining room to Mara having a full on meltdown as she chucked her cereal at Ryland crying hysterically over something.

　　"Mara you don't throw things" Ryland scolds picking up her bowl that had splattered on the floorboards. His shirt was covered in cornflakes where it had got on him.

　　"Why did you do that?" I asked her but she was far gone screaming and not paying attention to anyone. The lights suddenly turn on and start flickering, the kettle and oven light turning on as all the power suddenly starts to surge.

　　"Mara stop baby, calm down I will go get it" Ryland tries to sooth as he picks her up off the chair. Her face was blotchy as she heaved with her sobs.

　　"Amara That is enough" Thaddeus tells her as he walks in, A washing basket in his hands. His shirt sleeves rolled up and I could feel his annoyance as she continued to scream the place down.

　　Ryland rocked her as he tried to calm her.

　　The light bulbs suddenly start bursting, raining glass down above us, the fire alarms start blaring loudly. I cover my ears trying to shield them from the deafening noise. I had never seen her like this, and I had no idea what to do about it. Thaddeus growls loudly before walking toward her, he touches her arm grabbing her attention and he eyes flew open looking at him.

　　"Enough!" I hear him say just audible to my ears over the blaring fire alarms. The house suddenly goes quiet as she stares up at him. I hear a car pull up outside.

　　"What did you do?" I ask him as Mara stares at him funny before popping her lip out and pouting.

　　"I absorbed it," he answers.

　　"Her magic?"

　　"No her anger" he says before brushing her cheek with his thumb. It was strange seeing him do magic before it tainted him badly but now watching him he seemed almost calm despite the darkness I could feel simmering at the edges, trying to find a way in.

　　"I have control love, I would never hurt her," he says, answering my thoughts.

　　"Can you go grab that bloody book from the car, the one with the sheep" Ryland says.

　　"Which car?" I ask just as Orion walks in with a bottle of milk.

　　"Mine" Ryland says.

　　"No it's his carseat, why would you keep it?" I spit at him. How could he shove him in my face like that?

　　"Because it's his, that's why I kept it and you just fucking destroyed it" Ryland growls his entire body trembling, his anger smashing into me full force along with. It took me a second to recognise the feeling over my own burning anger but when I did, it hurt knowing I caused it, grief. Sadness so crippling I thought it would suffocate me as my throat constricted.

　　"Get out!" He says, closing his eyes as he fights with himself, a war raging inside him.

　　"Ryland, I'm"-

　　"Get out Evelyn" he sounded defeated. My stomach sinks and I walk out placing the broken pieces in the trash before walking inside leaving him to calm down.

　　Walking inside I give Mara the book before kissing her head. I grab my keys walking out of the house toward my car.

　　"Where is Ryland?" Thaddeus asks and I know he could feel his distress through the bond. I reach my car door and I look over to the shed to find Ryland sitting on the ground leaning against the car with his head in his hands.

　　"In the shed" I tell him not that I had to, Thaddeus was already walking over to it. I get in the car starting it before reversing out noticing Ryland clinging to Thaddeus, feeling his heartache at what I did. Guilt floods me but I force it aside and head to work, hoping that he forgives me.
