---- Book 1 Chapter 25 Eli grabbed my arm, pulling me back. T will deal with her. Just dont kill anybody, he said, 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 tingled with the urge to rip the bastard apart when I saw him lean over the table and put his filthy lips on what was mine. Eli growled low, luckily low enough that no one heard over the music. I watched as Eli walked over to them, sitting in the booth next to Adeline, 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 asked, looking between them. Adeline! he exclaimed, Abbies face turning a shade darker as embarrassment and anger consumed her. Hi, Iam Eli. Addies boss, Eli said politely, yet I knew he wanted nothing more than to rip him to pieces and punish our mate for her behavior. The 5/8 ---- Book 1 Chapter 25 other day, we made it clear that we wanted her, yet she still sought him out. Okay, Adeline, whats going on? he asked. Lam so sorry about this. We will just go, Abbie told him. Oh, sweetheart, you won't be going anywhere with this man, I thought to myself as Eli pulled her back down in her seat. Her eyes went to me, and I couldn't help the glare directed at her. I was pissed off; she was ours, and she was fooling around with this tool. Sit down, Addie, Eli warned her. Okay, I dont know what's going on here, but, Adeline, call me when you figure it out, Sam said, hopping up and stepping past me awkwardly, looking warily at me before sending me one last glance and rushing out the door. T can't believe you just did that. What the fuck is wrong with you? she yelled, her anger making her scent stronger. God, I wish I could read her mind, figure out how she thinks. Tone, we are in a public setting, I told her as she started to draw attention to us. 6/8 ---- Book 1 Chapter 25 Fuck this! Move, Eli, she screamed at him. Sit down, Adeline. Now, Eli told her. No, you just humiliated me. All because you have it stuck in your head that I am in some sort of weird fucking relationship with you. You had no right to do that. Now move, or I will scream and cause a fucking scene. Eli let her get up, and she tossed cash on the table, and we followed her out. Eli snatched the keys from her hand, locking her car before he grabbed her arm, pulling her away and toward ours across the street. Give me my fucking keys and let go, she yelled as I followed them. Eli tugged her along when she started fighting against him; she was silly to think she could escape us. Adeline! I snapped. When she suddenly slapped him, Eli growled, and I watched his body tense as he fought the urge to shift in the middle of the street. A group of teenagers was loitering out front of the building watching 1n horror, along with the waitress. Eli shoved her in the car while I climbed in the driver's seat. She continued fighting, kicking, and trying to shove him off as he climbed in with her. 7/8 ---- Book 1 Chapter 25 What are you doing? she screamed as I started the car. What I should have done from the fucking start, Eli growled. I tried to reach for him, but it was too late as his beast took over, and he sank his canines into her neck. She screamed as pain ripped through her neck before she passed out cold. I kept driving, watching Eli in the mirror as he wiped her blood from his lips. Now you've done it, I told him when he sat up. She needs to learn. At least now she won't be able to fight the mate bond. You're right. Now she is going to be petrified of us when she wakes. I thought we would do this the human way to make her like us before revealing ourselves, I told him. You can just erase this memory and give her a new one, Eli said, having it all figured out. We just needed to tell her to come clean, but I knew that would be a disaster as well. Nothing was going to plan. Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
