Sinful Mates Chapter 164: One hundred and sixty-four

***Ryland POV***

The first flicker of life was the twitching of her fingers. Her lacerations slowly closing as our blood moved through her veins, closing and sealing every wound. I look around the room, trying to find something to free myself but only seeing concrete walls and a chain hanging in the middle of the room to the floor. The steel door the only way out beside the grate in the ground that was much to small.

Hearing a predator growl, my eyes snap to Evelyn on the floor when I hear her heartbeat, thump. Her body trying to kickstart itself before I hear it again before It becomes steady thumping in her chest as every cell in her body is awoken.

“That’s it baby wake up” I tell her, trying to nudge her with my foot. She growls, the sound of a predator about to attack as her senses take over. I hear her sniff the air, before seeing claws slip from her nailbeds tearing off her nails as she stretches her fingers. Yet I don’t hear bones snapping, don’t hear agonised screams nor does she smell like a vampire or Lycan but something else, something close to her old scent but slightly different she wasn’t either but both and that became startling clear when her head snapped in my direction, and her amber eyes stared back at me, her lips curling over her top lip as fangs protruded, bloodlust taking over her as her eyes scanned the room before landing on me. She sniffs the air and I notice the crazed look on her face, and I was the perfect prey, completely defenceless and at her mercy.

The bond reforming with renewed strength as she suddenly looks down and I know she can feel it, feel it coming back, but it still wasn’t enough as she lunges at me, her fangs sinking into my neck as her fangs tear through my flesh. I let out a gurgled scream.

“Evie” I choke struggling against my restraints as she starts draining me. Footsteps outside making her pull her face away her face snapping toward the door.

“Focus on the noises” I tell her trying to get her attention off me. When the door opens suddenly and I see the man in armour race in, gun drawn. Shock registering on his gaunt face, his human blood appealing to her more than mine as her attention goes solely to him, her head tilting to the side as she watches him. His shock wearing off as fight or flight kicks in, seeing her covered in my blood and her own, he tries to slam the door shut but she was quicker as she lunged at him. Her legs wrapping around him as he turned to run, her claws sinking into his chest as he lets out a bloodcurdling scream, his blood spraying across the walls as she sinks her teeth into him, her hands going through his chest as he staggers backwards back into the room as she drains him, the man going limp underneath her as she continued to rip him to pieces, before he is left completely drained and in pieces.

Her eyes clearing of the haze before she realises what she has done, his limbs ripped from his body as it falls to pieces in her hands as she looks at them in pure horror. Evelyn kicks his body away from herself frantically and I can hear the erratic beating of her heart.

“Look at me love” I call to her, her head snapping up so quickly if she were human, she would have snapped her own neck.

I watched recognition register in her mind, her hands going to her belly before she starts clawing at herself looking for our baby, looking for the bump that was no longer there.

“Where is she, where is she Ryland?” He voice breaking as she realises, she is no longer carrying our child.

“I don’t know but you need to get these braces off” I tell her, her eyes darting back to me before she gets up within a blink of an eye, she had ripped them from the wall, the sound of metal hitting concrete sounded loud in this empty room. She hauls me to my feet, chucking my arm over her shoulder as I lean heavily against her, when the entire building starts to shake, the ground rippling under our feet before we hear gunfire from outside.

“We need to find her before this building comes down” I tell her as she half drags me toward the door, my breathing wheezing from the movement and the bullets lodged in my chest. She places me on the ground.

“We need to move” I tell her when she suddenly holds her breath before tearing the front of my shirt. I hiss as she digs her claws into my chest, pulling the razor like bullets out, green liquid oozing from the holes down my chest, her fingertips sizzling as if acid was tipped on them. She grits her teeth removing all five, her fingertips mutilated as the silver burns her flesh.

“We won’t be getting anywhere with you like this” She says, and I realise she has been holding her breath the entire time as she draws in a breath through her parted lips. I could feel the wounds healing extremely slow not able to heal around the wolfsbane that has flooded my system. She pulls me to my feet just as we are knocked to the ground when the building shakes again, chunks of concrete falling from the roof around us, the lights flickering and swinging as we make our way down the corridor to a door that lead to stairs, a green neon sing flickering above it saying exit.

Grabbing the railing we make our way up and I realise we are in some sort of basement, the entire place coming down around us and I feel my strength coming back slowly but not fast enough, my wounds healing at an agonisingly slow pace. Evelyn’s anxiety levels peaking, and I can feel her mind is completely consumed with finding our daughter when we reach a door. She lets go of me hitting the door so hard it blows off the hinges, shattering to the ground as she starts going from door to door. I hear screams of people as she moves quickly from room to room as I stagger after her when a hole is blown in the side of the building dust pouring in making the corridor fill with debris.

Reaching the first room, I notice the blood bath left in Evelyn’s wake as she continued from room to room. I collapse as I feel the wolfsbane spreading toward my heart, the bullets stopping its lethal spread, yet my body wasn’t healing fast enough to get rid of it now that they had been removed.

The loud bang of a gun going off making me look toward the direction Evelyn went in. Her body flinging against the wall when suddenly Amara appears in the corridor in front of me. Evelyn coughs getting to her feet before spewing blood onto the floor.

Amara gasps before vaporising in front me and appearing next to Evelyn, when we hear the faintest of cries, a woman stepping out behind the man from a door behind him, our daughter clutched tightly in her arms.

Evelyn lunges for her just as Amara touches her shoulder and they disappear into thin air.

The man in the lab coat raises the Shot gun, his eyes not leaving me as he uses the lip along the wall to walk across the hole in the floor, the floor breaking off under his weight as he presses his back close. The woman behind him looks at the gaping hole before looking to room that was blown apart trying to figure out how to get across just as I hear the click before a bang sounds out. My chest exploding in pain, sending me flying into the wall and along the floor. He reloads the gun as I try to get to my hands and feet when I hear him scream for her to hurry up, the woman places my daughter on the ground before jumping across the gap, her foot slipping on the loose rubble as she tumbles through the hole in the floor to the floor below, her terrified scream echoing of the cracked rendered walls before I hear a thud.

Blood pouring from my mouth as I try to breath while I drown on my own blood when Thaddeus appears, jumping to the ledge from outside. His eyes going to our daughter next to his feet as he nearly steps on her, a menacing growl sounds throughout the entire building. The walls shaking and coming down around us as the darkness consumes him. I watch the man fumble falling on his ass as he takes a step back toward me. Thaddeus picks up the bundle of fabric that is covering our daughter when I hear the man laugh hysterically. Thaddeus fingers zapping with electricity when the man pulls a device from his lab coat.

“Either way I win” He chuckles looking toward the ceiling where I see cables running along the one side of the roof that is intact.

“Run” I scream, adrenaline pulsing through me as I lunge toward the man, his deep booming laugh reverberated loudly in my ears before Thaddeus registers what I said, he turns jumping from the ledge and disappearing out the hole in the wall. Everything moving slowly, as I land on the man. His head smashing against the concrete but not hard enough to knock him out when he speaks, “My back up plan” He gasps out as he squeezes his hand into a fist, and I hear the click. The entire building vibrating like an earthquake, deafening noise echoing as the entire building detonates, sounding like a freight train as I watch in horror as flames consume everything, overwhelming hot wind moving over me.
