Filed to story: Sinful Mates (Imogen) Book by Jessica Hall
She shakes her head, and I feel Ryland touch my shoulder, making me look at him. “We are scaring her,” he says, and for the first time I can tell he doesn’t enjoy the scent of fear, at least not from her. The mate pull is strong, looking back at her, I get up and step back.
“Go,” I tell her, and she gets up before running off. Bending down, I pick up her wallet that she left in her haste. Pulling out her ID, I read it – Evelyn Harper. I have never wanted someone as much as I want her, never craved another person more than I do her, she is ours, and yet we can’t have her.
She is light while we are dark. Monsters of the night to her. Something made of nightmares. I have to fight with myself to stop from chasing her down and claiming her. I thought I was complete until I met her.

Imogen
The last year has been epic, we are three days out from the wedding. Tobias and Theo are at work and I’m trying to get Thaddeus ready so I can retry my dress. The woman in the shop insisted, which I know is pointless, my body hasn’t and can’t change, but it isn’t like I can tell her that. Just as I’m about to walk out the door, I pick up Thaddeus, only for him to throw up on my dress. My appointment is in forty minutes and it is at least a thirty-minute drive into town.
“Come on, could this day get any worse?” I groan and suddenly, the projectile vomit is all over my hair as well. Why, why did I say that? “You just had to prove it could, didn’t you little man? Come on, I need to change you and myself now.” I tell him. Walking up the stairs, I place my hand on his head and Thaddeus feels a little warm, making me wonder if he is coming down with something.
Placing him on the bed, I go to the dresser and retrieve him a change of clothes, grabbing a wet cloth from the bathroom to clean his face. Thaddeus watches me from where he sits, his cheeks all red, and his curly black hair covering his eyes.
“Mommy,” he cries, making me rush to his side, just in time for him to puke on the comforter.
“What’s wrong little man?” I ask, feeling his head, which is beading in sweat. Grabbing my phone from my pocket, I call Tobias and he answers after one ring.
“What’s wrong, hun?” He asks.
“Something is wrong with Thaddeus, I think he is sick.”
“Sick?”
“Yes, he won’t stop spewing and he feels hot.”
“Is he teething?”
I run my fingers along his bottom gums, feeling nothing before running my fingers across the top gums and I gasp as I feel the edges of razor sharp fangs, as they cut through the pad of my thumb. I pull my finger back before lifting his top lip to reveal three fangs on either side of his two middle teeth.
“What, babe, say something?” Tobias says alarmed through the phone.
“He.. He has fangs.”
“Fangs? Did you say fangs?”
“Yes, Tobias, fucking fangs!” I yell, annoyed from repeating myself.
“We are on our way, I will call Astral and see what she says.” Tobias says before hanging up.
Thaddeus wriggles around, trying to get up and I pick him before walking to the bathroom deciding a nice cool shower might bring his temp down. Stripping myself and him off, I turn the shower on so it is only lukewarm before holding his hand and letting him step into the shower. He stands under the water and I hop in with him before grabbing the loofa and soap, washing him.
Thaddeus seems to feel better while the cool water runs over him, as he plays with his truck on the shower floor, while I wash the spew from my hair. Once I am done, I turn the shower off only to hear the front door open. It is too early for them to be back. I only just got off the phone to Tobias a few minutes ago. Grabbing a towel, I wrap it around myself and grab Thaddeus from the shower floor where he is playing.
“Who’s that?” I sing out, when suddenly, Theo appears, and I let out the breath I was holding. “Geez, you scared me, did you run here?”
Theo nods before walking over and taking Thaddeus from me. “How’s daddy’s little man?” He says, kissing his wet little head. “He is quite warm.” He states before laying him on the bed and drying him with the towel.
Twenty minutes later we have Thaddeus dressed, and I’m making him a bottle when he starts screaming. Theo tries to calm him, but nothing either of us do makes him settle. Tobias walks in and immediately runs to his side, Thaddeus’ face bright red from holding his breath, screaming.
