Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 53

　　“What? You’re fucking married?” Tobias looked panicked. Theo finally realising what he said let go of my arms and staggered back. Merida looked on the verge of running and was visibly shaking.

　　“Let us explain. Please.”

　　“No, I want to leave now,” I screamed tears running down my face. Merida went to bail turning toward the front door. I called out to her.

　　“Merida wait.” I ran up the stairs and grabbed my handbag. I could hear Theo and Tobias yelling at each other. I didn’t care, I wasn’t going to be someone’s mistress. Grabbing my phone off charge. I walked back down the stairs, ignoring them both fighting in the lounge room. I could hear things getting broken. Merida stood frozen not moving her eyes watching the fight that had broken out in the lounge room. I touched her arm and she jumped.

　　“Let’s go,” I said she nodded but as soon as we turned to the door, Theo was standing in front of it.

　　“Leave Merida or I will make you.” His voice was ice cold. Merida paled and went to walk around him, his eyes never leaving her. I pushed Theo to the side. To follow after her.

　　“Not you, you’re staying.”

　　“Like fuck I am. I won’t be the other woman, Theo, now fucking move. What did you think you could be married and we would all live like one happy family? Fuck off.” I snapped. Merida opened the door and walked outside heading toward the car, she looked back at me fleetingly.

　　“Tobias, tell him to move or so help me god I will fucking reject the pair of you right now.”

　　Tobias moved to my side, his lip was bleeding and his shirt ripped.

　　“Let her go Theo, we need time to cool off. She will be safe with Merida,” Tobias said, his chest pushing into my back. I had to fight the urge to lean into him. This stupid mate bond was going to be the death of me. Theo glared at Tobias refusing to move. My face was drenched in tears, my hands shaking how could they do this to her, how could they do this to me.

　　“Move please,” I begged I just needed to get away from them, clear this constant fog taking over my brain that was them. “She’s dead, Imogen. You don’t have to worry about her.” Theo’s eyes searching my face waiting for a reaction, but I didn’t care that she was dead. The fact is they are or were married and didn’t say anything, yet she was on Tobias’s mind. How do you compete with that? “Move please” I repeated I looked to Tobias, he nodded at Theo and Theo stepped out of the way.

　　“She can’t get far, Theo, just let her go.” Theo growled lowly. I darted past; Merida looked relieved when I walked out heading towards her white Subaru Liberty. I opened the passenger side sliding into the seat. Only when I tried to plug my seatbelt in, did I realise how badly my hands were shaking. Merida seeing me struggle with belt leant over and clipped it in for me.

　　“Thanks.” She nodded and quickly started the car doing a U-turn, she turned the car around and started heading down the driveway. I leant back on the seat closing my eyes.

　　When we were out of the driveway, Merida finally spoke.

　　“What do you want to do now that you have escaped?” she asked.

　　“I have no idea I just wanted to get away from them, I could really use a bloody drink though” She nodded her head, a smile playing on her lips.

　　“We could have a girl’s night at mine, maybe later go out” I smiled that sounded nice. It was actually nice to be in another female’s company. “That sounds awesome, but I don’t have anything to wear out.”

　　“You’re my size, you can borrow something. Let’s head back to mine” We drove to the City before heading toward the apartment block. It was the same apartment block where my apartment was.

　　“You live here too?” She nodded before turning the car off, we got out and she tossed the keys at the valet, who caught them.

　　“Yep, this is actually the pack house.”

　　“Packhouse? I lived in apartment building full of werewolves?” No wonder they had strict policy on no cats. I chuckled remembering Theo tell me before getting angry for even thinking of the jerk. Her lips turned up slightly.

　　“Yep, come on I will see if any of the girls want to head out with us tonight.” As we entered the foyer the girl behind the desk, called out to Merida.

　　“Alicia hey, want to go out tonight with me and Imogen?”

　　The girl stood up, she had curly red hair and green eyes, and a smattering of freckles on her nose. She was quite pretty but in a delicate kind of way she looked innocent. But the grin that lit up her face, I could tell she was anything but innocent. Oh, this was going to be fun I could tell already as a devious smile lit up her face.

　　“Martin’s?” Alicia asked. I had heard of it but had never been it was on the other side of the City and a huge nightclub.

　　Merida looked to me questionably letting me decide. “I have heard of it, so I’m down.” Alicia yipped and clapped her hands excitedly. “Let me get someone to cover the foyer. I will be up in a minute, it’s time to party” she said shaking her ass. Merida and I laughed at her enthusiasm before walking over to the lift. We got in the elevator and Merida took me to the second floor, when the elevator door opened. I see Floyd and nearly walked into him as we stepped out.

　　Floyd smiled before doing a double take, realising who I was. “What is she doing here Merida does Tobias know?” He asked looking worriedly at her.

　　“Yes, he knows and we’re going out.”

　　“Tobias won’t like that, Merida,” he replied. Looking down at me.

　　“I don’t care what Tobias or Theo like, we are going out.” Man were all werewolf men this overbearing and this god darn sexy?

　　I watched as he pinched the bridge of his nose his eyebrows furrowing.

　　“Where are you taking her?”

　　“Martins” Merida told him unfazed by his line of questioning. He opened his mouth gaping like a fish. We ignored him and turned, heading in the direction Merida was leading me.

　　“Wait” We both stopped and looked back at him. “If you’re taking her, I’m coming, Tobias will bloody kill us if anything happens to her.”

　　“Fine be ready by nine, Beta,” she said Beta sarcastically. Why did I have a feeling Floyd might be the killer of fun.

　　“What Theo?”

　　“Where are you, and why do I feel like you’re drunk right now?”

　　“I am not drunk. Tipsy, but not drunk, and I am at Merida’s.” I heard him growl not wanting to here anymore, I hung up. I knew I would cop it later for hanging up on him. My phone instantly started ringing and I rejected the call.

　　“What did they do that has you so pissed off” Asked Cara sipping her wine.

　　“Bianca” Stated Merida for me. They all scrunched up their faces in disgust making me confused.

　　“Oh, the bitch of a wife” Said Tammy, I nodded. So, they all knew of this woman and by the sounds of it didn’t like her.

　　“Don’t let her worry you Imogen, you are way better. Besides, she is dead. They killed her.”

　　“Cara,” snapped Merida, giving her a stern look.

　　“What did I say?” Cara asked.

　　Merida shook her head. I went to ask what they meant about them killing her but was cut off by Merida.

　　“Enough depressing talk lets finish getting ready before Floyd gets here” Cara made a gagging noise. “Why is that buzz kill coming” She whined, and I smiled at her pouting.

　　“Because he doesn’t trust us to look after Immy over there,” said Alicia. I smirked at the nickname I barely knew these girls, but I could tell we were going to become good friends.

　　At the mention of his name, another knock sounded on the door. “And that would be the fun police” Stated Cara getting up and walking toward the door to open it.

　　“Ladies,” said Floyd walking in. The girls didn’t look impressed, and I had to stop myself from laughing at the looks on their faces.

　　Floyd walked over holding his hand out, I grabbed his hand and let him pull me up. I stumbled slightly in the heels, but he steadied me. “How much has she already drank?” he said eyeing the girls. They looked away guiltily before Merida pointed towards the bench. I hadn’t realised we went through the much wine, on the bench was six empty wine bottles. I knew I hadn’t drank that much compared to them, but I never realised how much we had already drank between the six of us. He shook his head.

　　“Ready to go?”

　　“Yep, let’s do this.” The girls hollered. I walked over to Merida and she hooked her arm through mine leading me out of the apartment.
