NOT EDITED
231.11.30
Shit.
No.
No.
NO.
This cannot be happening. He shouldn't be at the party.
She couldn't believe how unlucky she was to end up in such a situation again. She knew he was behind her approaching after hearing her father call out to him. She could feel his gaze burning her ass and her legs were shaking but she clung to Seth like he was her anchor.
The reality is that the baby was a good shield for this. If he suspected and felt that she was his, then her son would prove otherwise, since their soul mate was not supposed to be able to have children with other men and, as far as he knew, the others had not encountered her.
Thomas stood next to his father smiling at the others and at her. He had black hair and was muscular but not as big as Gally. Although she tried not to show that she was physically attracted to what she saw, it was quite difficult with him staring at her. The intensity with which he was looking at her was quite unseemly, and the only thing missing was the typical "get a room" comment to break the tension. The only thing she could do was improve her mask of indifference, as she clenched her thighs trying to contain the excitement, and planned the excuse she would say to flee from there after quickly introducing herself.
To make matters worse, the minister kept looking at Seth.
-Daughter, this is Thomas. The same one I told you about so many times. Sure you would get along, he's as brilliant as you are -he said winking at her, finally breaking the tension in the environment.
-Nice to meet you, I have heard many good things about you. I'm Hayleen and this is my son Seth -she smirked at him trying to ignore how he looked at Seth, finally relapsing in his presence.
-I've heard only good things about you too, angel- he replied, still looking extremely confused as he looked from her to the baby constantly.
-The father is a Cranck and that is why he is not present, Thomas. This pretty girl's first love -Ava Paige finally said-. The boy is… one year and three months, did you say the other day, Randall?
-Exactly, Ava. But let's not talk about him please. It is a sensitive subject for my daughter as you imagine. The important thing is that she finally can meet Thomas. I wanted to introduce you both but I never found the opportunity with how busy you are.
-Yes, it's a pity that she couldn't meet any of the others before they leave -Thomas replied, still looking at her suspiciously, he seemed to be trying to solve a very complicated puzzle.
-Oh yeah, it's a real shame. I was very disappointed for a long time but then Gabby told me that she got to meet your son, Ava, before he goes into the maze.
NO!
Why did he have to mention it? Everything was going very well, as possible, after the unexpected appearance.
-Ah, yeah? -the minister asked looking intently at her and also at Seth- Gally didn't mention anything.
-Dad… -Hayleen tried to interrupt to say her excuse for the night and flee home safely, but he ignored her, excited about the conversation.
-He couldn't Ava dear. They met the first time she came to visit us, the day the trials began. Dr. Gabriella was kind enough to present her to your heir when given the sedative, and left them the time to get to know each other. It is unfortunate that he does not remember her but we will have another chance, right? I didn't mention anything before because I didn't want to get her in trouble, after all he was supposed to be alone for that hour. I am telling you now because I trust you my friends and that you will understand that Gabby did it only because she knew how disappointed I was that my heir did not meet any of those wonderful boys.
Randall seemed unaware of what he was causing. Minister Paige and Thomas had exchanged a quick glance and as he took a step forward, Hayleen took one back.
-Dad, I'm sorry to interrupt such an important conversation but I have to go. Seth already should be sleeping –said to him with a kiss on the cheek.
-No need for you to go so late to your house, you can stay in one of the rooms of the barracks –the mother of Gally offered with predatory eyes.
-It really is not necessary, my mother is waiting for me. Nice to meeting all of you -smiled her as quickly retreated and headed for the door.
She hadn't taken two steps when Thomas lunged toward her, grabbing her wrist. Instantly the electricity ran through her body, setting every nerve ending on fire and making her feel something wet dripping down her thighs uncomfortably. The little groan that escaped her matched his barely contained growl.
She jerked out of the grip and quickened her pace, the sense of urgency sinking inside her.
-¡Stop her! -said Minister of WICKED-. Don't let that girl get away!
-What's happening? -asked her father confused when he heard this and saw her run desperately towards the door.
The guards caught her just before Thomas reached her and turned her so that she was facing him. She looked at him defiantly but he only had a hungry look in his eyes and he was staring at her like she was his prey. Then he looked at Seth who was upset in the arms of a guard and grabbed him. The baby instantly calmed down.
Traitor.
- Let him go, monster! -she shouted desperates as she struggled to get loose from the holding but he grinned and ignored.
-Could you take care of your grandson for us, Ava? -he asked as he handed him to the smiling woman.
-What?! -Randall shouted altered and confused, not knowing whether to look at his daughter, Thomas or the minister.
-I'm afraid that an intense night awaits his mother and me, that it would be better for a minor not to witness -he answered, ignoring her father and the angry look and screams of his soul mate.
-Of course, darling. I imagine you two will have a very busy night making up for lost time. I can't wait for Gally to meet this little boy and reunite with his soul mate-said this, a gasp was heard from Hayleen's father-. Don't worry, Randall. It's more than clear how unaware you were about the fate of your daughter and the true father of her son.
-But she can not be. My daughter is not immune-he stuttered for the first time in his life.
-I'm sure that if we carry out a new analysis in our laboratory it will prove the opposite -replied Janson, looking at his son-. The evidence was rigged, there's no question about that.
-I can't wait for Newt to meet her. She is perfect, Ava! Even more than I expected! -Mrs. Anderson said excitedly.
-But, Ladena... She couldn't, could she? -Randall was stuttering in shock. Finally he looked at his distraught daughter for answers-. Hayleen, girl, is it true?
In response, he got an angry glare from his daughter that challenged him to side with the parents of her soulmates and face her anger.
-There is an easy way to find out -said Thomas smiling and approaching her with a dark look in his eyes that made her shiver even more.
As the guards held her and she struggled to free herself, he pulled the shiny scarf from her body and dropped it to the floor.
-What is this, angel? -he asked, referring to the covered places on her neck and clavicle.
-Nothing that interests you. I hurt myself the other day-she answered, looking at him defiantly.
-So what would happen if I took it out of your skin -he asked, mocking her.
-You would see the marks my lover left me the other night when he fucked me against the wall -she growled trying to annoy him... which she undoubtedly did.
Thomas's gaze darkened even more and he looked incredibly furious just imagining someone else touching her.
-You are mine -he growled at her as he ripped the band-aids from her skin one by one, revealing the names on her skin for all to see-. No one but me or them can touch you.
One of his hands was grasping her neck possessively and the other her butt and pressing her to his body so that she could feel him against her. His mouth approached hers in a furious kiss that was all tooth and tongue to demonstrate his dominance. The moans were trapped in his mouth and the only reason she didn't fall to the floor due to her shaking legs was because there wasn't an inch separating them from each other.
Finally they parted, agitated. His gaze promised her that it would not stay there and that a wild night awaited them.
-You deserve a punishment for hiding from us. Of course, when Gally sees you he will be more than happy to give it to you. Although I could give you a sneak peek, after all we could have spent two years together if you hadn't run away from me -he whispered in her ear before parting.
Her father had approached with the others and was looking at her as if she had kicked a puppy. For him what she had been done with her mother was even worse than that and he felt terribly betrayed. He was also trying to contain his excitement at the turn of events. What was happening was everything he had dreamed of and more.
-Where do I have to sign? -he asked his not-so-enemies without taking his eyes off his daughter, who was now looking at him angrily-. Hayleen don't look at me like that. You are all I have and I only want the best for you. That is you being with them. You will save humanity! And you know as well as I do that only they can make you happy, just like you can make them the happiest boys in the world. They are your soul mates! They are going to take care of you and love you like the wonderful girl that you are. And you will give us incredible grandchildren -added flattered, winking at Thomas.
-Many children -he whispered in Lyn's ear, making a shiver run through her leaving goose bumps.
-I won't have any more! You're not going to touch me -she growled angrily at him-. That's what you want, dad, but not what I want from my life! I don't want to be with these psychopaths. If I am with them it is because they forced me to be. I don't allow them to touch me! -she said firmly to her father, shooting him deadly looks with her eyes-. It doesn't surprise me that you support them and are on their side. I always knew you would.
-Girl, don't be mad. You know that you are the most important thing to me and I love you. You may not want to accept it now, but they are your destiny and your happy ending. I could never take you away from that, I don't understand how your mother can. Thomas go, we'll take care of Seth - he added with a reassuring and suggestive smile.
