Ch. 256..260: The Werewolf's Vampire Mate Chapter 256-260
Chapter 256: Long lasting happiness
Gyles.
Rex comes back into the room after about an hour. I came out of the bathroom and the first thing I did was look for him. I took a while in the shower, so I didn’t even know where to start looking for him. I check by the car we packed and he wasn’t there, I check all around the motel, searching for him but to no avail. I was almost about to call Blue before he walked into the room as if nothing happened. There is a nonchalant expression on his face like he didn’t disappear for over an hour.
"Where the fuck were you,’’ I walk over to him and grab him by his arm. I didn’t even realize that my heart was thumping so heavily. I don’t know why I was thinking the worst with my worries. I am just associated with bad news and I just thought something terrible had happened to him.
"What do you mean? I went to get my bag,’’ for the first time since he walked into the room, I notice the bag on his other hand.
"I went to the car; I didn’t see you,’’ I tell him, my voice still shaking from the fear inside me. I have to stop thinking the worst but I don’t know what to expect with this sudden happiness. I have known happiness all my life and that happiness always ends up flying away from me. I was happy with Roger before he was taken away from me. I finally found happiness again with my father and he got taken away from me too. I am happy again. This time, this is the happiest I have ever been and I don’t want the same fate. I want things to be different. I want to be with them for the rest of my life. I don’t want this happiness to be taken away from me.
He furrows his brow in confusion like he doesn’t understand what I am saying "I don’t think I have been gone for that long,’’ he pauses and I watch him take a deep breath, he opens his eyes "oh, I called Blue, a=maybe that is why I have been gone for so long,’’ he adds but it just seems unlikely to me.
I am already suspicious and I don’t even know where he went. "Why did you call him?’’ I ask him raising my brow in question.
His cheeks redden and I see the guilt in his eyes. "Did you tell him we were coming?’’ I ask him in addition. If he told Blue then he would be expecting us. It might not be a bad thing but I just really wanted to surprise him. I didn’t want him to turn me back. I know that is a possibility. He could be organizing our departure before we even show up.
"Never. I just wanted to return his calls.’’
"Are you sure about that, seems like you went out to keep me from your conversation with him?’’
He rolls his eyes; I see the flicker underneath the glasses. He is acting weird and I don’t know why.
"I was jealous, okay.’’
Okay, that is admittance to why he is acting weird but I don’t know why he would be jealous. I should be the one jealous. Blue and Rex have a relationship that is easy and not problematic like the one I have with him. Right now, he hates me, he doesn’t even answer my calls or messages.
The only time I will hear from him is when he can’t get through to Rex.
"Jealous of what?’’
He sighs and runs his hands through his hair. I watch him because this is something I am interested in. I want to know what is going on in his head, why he will feel like I am some kind of threat to his relationship with Blue when all I want is for all three of us to be together.
"Of you... okay.’’
He walks away from me and to the bathroom shutting the door before I can stop him. I don’t even want to because right now he is vulnerable and there is nothing I can say to him to make him stop feeling this way. Blue is the only one that can give him the assurance he needs. He is the only one that he will want to hear from. I sit on the edge of one of the beds as I hear the shower running. After about fifteen minutes, he walks out of the bathroom and his eyes stop on me. I can’t read him right now but I know he is embarrassed by his outburst. I stand up from the bed and walk over to him.
He has a towel wrapped around his waist and a blank expression on his face. His body is wet and dripping. My eyes can’t help but sway to his body. The man in front of me is beautiful and it is almost like he doesn’t even know it.
"Hey,’’ I grab his hand in mine and his eyes stay fixed on me.
"We should get ready so that we can get there before it gets dark.’’ He mutters quietly but I can tell that he wants us to talk about this.
"You have nothing to worry about T-Rex," I assure him because I am here for the two of them. There is no one more important.
He sighs "I’m sorry, it was stupid of me to say that.’’
I shake my head because I don’t want him to invalidate his feelings. He has every right to feel any form of emotion and I won’t let him think it is stupid. "No, you were right to feel excluded. I should have found a way to include you yesterday but he didn’t want to look too clingy. I swear that man is crazy about you as I am.’’ I raise his hand up until it is in front of my lips and then I kiss each of his knuckles gently. He closes his eyes and I focus on the sound of his breathing. The soft breaths he takes as I lick the water off his hands. My mouth remains on him because the pull is intense. I didn’t mean to sexualize this moment but my wolf wants him—I want him too. There is just this pull that comes with having a mate. almost like having a drug that you know, you shouldn’t take but you become addicted.
I am addicted to him right now and he needs to be the one to stop me. I take his index finger into my mouth and he gasps out in pleasure. I like the sound that comes from his lips so much. I want to hear it again. I want to send him off the wall and bring him back again.
I want to hear him scream.
Not right now.
My wolf warns me.
I think he is the only one that has a fragment of control. I open my eyes and Rex is watching me, waiting for more but I know we can’t right now. I take his finger out of my mouth and he sighs out in frustration. "You are amazing and you have nothing to worry about,’’ I continue with my boost because I need him to be okay right now.
He nods and I pull him into my arms, he welcomes me "We both love you.’’
he nods again "Promise you won’t leave me,’’ he begs, his insecurities pouring out right now. all I can think about is protecting him—both of them because I can’t stand losing them.
This time I want my happiness to last.
Chapter 257: Surviving death
Blue.
"There is a plan. A group of witches are coming together. No one knows who they are, we just know what they are after and that is the throne."
"How do you have this information?’’
"People talk and the fact that your mother ended up the way she did just proves that they exist. I am not telling you all this to get favors from you or to make up for the past. I like Analise, she is a good leader. Kind. You need to stop them before it is too late."
I haven’t been able to focus all day. After Evanora left, I have been thinking about a way to tell mother all this. she is acting as if nothing happened. Like she wasn’t just poisoned. I don’t know how to get through to her. make her see that she is in danger.
"The prodigal son returns,’’ I turn to the door and Badger walks into the living room. Dressed in a black suit and dress shoes. There is a smile on his face and I am sure it is because of me. Badger is my mother’s longest friend. I have known him all my life and he has always been a sort of father figure to me. when I left, he wasn’t too happy but he said he understood and he didn’t pester me to come but the minute I came back, I knew he was going to be happy to see me.
"Hey Badger,’’ I welcome him with a quick hug. After the separation, he looks at me and raises a brow.
"Why do you look so happy, your mother almost died,’’ There is a smile on his face, so I know he is not too serious right now.
"Where were you when she almost died?’’
He laughs because we are doing this thing where we pick on each other o=until one person caves in. I actually want to know where he was because there is one person in this house that is guilty. Someone close to her and it could be anyone. If I could use my magic to reveal it, I would have but the person that did this also used magic to protect them. I am not getting anything from this house. There is no aura, no lingering moments. Everything is blank, which will make this harder for me.
"I could say the same for you. unlike you I was investigating some things,’’ his voice goes lower at the last part of his sentence. I watch him because suddenly there is a curiosity in this conversation.
"Investigating what?’’ I ask him.
He smiles and then pats my shoulder gently "Adult business son, it is good to have you back.’’ he tells me before walking away from me and into the house.
As usual, he still sees me as a child. When the person they should see as the child is the woman that is choosing to have another party even after just being poisoned. I don’t understand her and I have been trying to convince her all day that this is a bad idea but she doesn’t want to listen to me. she is refusing to even grasp the situation at hand. The fact that there are people out there that want her killed.
People that we don’t know.
If you don’t know who is the threat is, you can’t get rid of them. Right now it could be Badger for all I know and I am this kind of person that doesn’t trust easily. I don’t even trust my own father and I have been with him for two years now. the only person I trust right now is Rex, Gyles hasn’t gotten to that point yet because he is sneaky. There are things about him that I don’t know, things that he has done that make me wary of him. I know eventually, he will prove himself to me. I am already kind of seeing things about him that I like, things about him that I want to get to know.
It’s weird that you can love someone without really knowing them. Yeah, I saw things in his memories that make me understand why he is the way he is but I want him to let go of the past and he will never be better until he does.
I walk all the way to her room and she is in front of the mirror, putting on makeup. She has a robe on, she is getting ready for yet another party.
"This is a stupid idea mother,’’ I tell her as she glances at me through her lipstick.
She smiles "What is life without a little fun?’’
I roll my eyes. All my life, I have lived in a house that was open to the outside world. there was no weekend where she didn’t have a party or some sort of get-together. the fact that I was very anti-social—not because I wanted to but because I literally had no friends, made it all frustrating.
"You almost died. Shouldn’t you be looking for the person that tried to kill you?’’ I am in front of her door, my hand resting on the handle.
She looks at me again, this time slowly walking over to me with that same smile still on her face. She stops in front of me and cups my cheek in her palm "You’re back home. I know I can leave it up to you.’’ she stands on her toes and plants a soft kiss on my cheek.
I close my eyes with a silent groan because she seems to think I am back home. I haven’t told her that I will be leaving. There is no way in hell I will stay in this community. I want to go back, figure things out with Rex and Gyles.
I miss them so much and it has only been a couple of days. My life outside the coven is way better than the life I have here.
"You should go get ready; our guests will be arriving soon.’’
I sigh loudly and this gets a chuckle out of her "Come on party pooper. Don’t ruin this happy day for me.’’
I furrow my brow "Almost dying is a happy day for you?’’
She shakes her head as she walks back to her mirror ’’That is where you are wrong,’’ her eyes stop in front of me "Surviving death is a happy day for me. they think they won, but they will never win.’’
I walk out of the room and Levine is just about to enter. She smiles at me "How is she?’’ she asks, knowing full well that my mother will just act as if nothing happened. This is what she does. She likes to pretend like everything is okay.
She doesn’t acknowledge problems and that is why I never knew about Jules. That is why she kept it from me for so long.
"She is crazy,’’ Levine laughs at my admittance and I watch her as she walks away from the hall and to the direction of my room. Mother might want to act like nothing happened but I will find out on my own and then I will leave.
I grab my phone from my pocket and dial Eva’s number. She answers on the first ring "I need your help,’’ I tell her because I need to get this over with and return to my babies.

Chapter 259: Kissing each other and getting caught
Blue.
I don’t know what I was expecting from this party but it certainly wasn’t this. I don’t know what they are doing here and I don’t even have enough time to comprehend this.
Gyles and Rex.
In my house.
What the fuck are they doing here and why are they hurting people? Okay, one person. Badger of all people. That man is very strong and Gyles just took him out with one shove. What kind of power does he have?
It takes me a minute to comprehend this but when I see Rex’s terrified stare, I walk over to them before anybody else can get involved "They are with me,’’ I wave my hands in the air. Pretty much stopping the guards from taking them. "Get Badger into a room. To sleep it off,’’ I order one of them.
My hands are on Gyles first because he seems to be the problematic one and he is probably the one that brought Rex here. This is unlike Rex. he doesn’t cause trouble and just a couple of days alone without me. He is travelling the distance with Gyles. I lead them further into the house until we get to my room. Once the door to my room is closed my eyes stay on them, arms over my chest.
They are both quiet.
The guilt is evident on their faces.
"What are you guys doing here?’’ I ask since no one wants to talk. Gyles is more likely the one that would have something to say. he is the one that brought Rex here, I am so sure of it. I shouldn’t have just been quiet, that they were at a motel. I knew something was up but he promised that he was going back to the community. I just thought they were out exploring the town or something.
What the fuck is this?
"Somebody talk before I spiral,’’ I look at the two of them now because I hate this silence so much.
Mom is going to come soon because I am sure she has heard about the fucking scene they caused and she is going to ask questions. She will be nosy about this and that is what I don’t need right now. I just wanted to come home quietly and leave. Now they are here. I am going to have to get them back home safely. This wasn’t part of the plan.
"We came to surprise you,’’ Rex finally speaks up.
"What kind of surprise is this?’’ I ask because I actually want to know what they were thinking. They didn’t know what they were walking into. They didn’t know anything about this part of my life. So, what would make them come here?
I run my hands through my hair because I don’t want to show them how tense this is making me but I am sure they can already tell.
"It was my idea, I missed you,’’ Gyles owns up to it, slowly walking up to me. I wanted to make him suffer. Make him realize that I am worth the risk but how can I do that when he would just follow me.
Fuck.
He stops in front of me and Rex interjects "I wanted to come too. This is not just on him,’’ he steps forward too and now it seems like they are both trying to take the blame. This is the first time we have been together, all three of us and I am pissed.
You don’t have to be.
My wolf suggests but I have to. They risked a lot coming here and it is going to bite me in the ass.
"I need to get you guys back home. This is not the best place to be, trust me.’’ I tell them. I have to get the anger out of the way and get them out of her. I can’t have my mother finding out about this mating. She will find a way to cut it off and I am pretty sure there is a way.
"We don’t want to go unless you are coming with us,’’ Gyles reaches for me and for the first time since I left. I see the sincerity in his eyes. I thought he was selfish and could never love me the way I deserve but I feel the love as it emanates out of him. he is desperate for acceptance from me because I am the only one that is left. Rex is cool with him. they have their own bond. He needs me for this to be complete.
"Come here,’’ I grab his hand and pull him closer; my eyes shift to Rex who is not as close as Gyles "You too,’’ I wave for him and he walks over to me. His glasses are over his face, I reach for him and take them off. I want to see his eyes. The best part of his face. The eyes I see when I close my eyes.
"I am not upset," I assure them. It is probably weird to anyone that sees this, having two guys on each side of me but somehow they fit perfectly "I just wish you didn’t do this. this part of my life is not one that I am proud of, not one that I want you guys in.’’
They are both watching me quietly. I don’t even have the strength to play hard to get with Gyles. I am not even upset with him anymore. missing them has a way of making me forget about trivial things. The fact that he tricked me to have sex with him has suddenly become so trivial.
They are all that matter.
"We missed you,’’ Rex confesses shyly.
My heart is racing against my chest. They are a lot to handle but it is not like I can’t. It will just take a lot from me to resist them. To send them back.
"I missed you too,’’ I tell him, my eyes shift to Gyles "You too.’’
This is a confession that I didn’t want to do so soon. I wanted him to suffer but making him suffer will make me suffer too and where is the fun in that?
I lean forward until my face is so close to Gyles. I don’t trust him yet but I fucking love him and that love wins over the trust. Eventually, trust will grow. I will learn to accept the things he does, the kind of person that he is. they are both watching me. slowly, my lips press to Gyles, I love the sound that comes out of his mouth. Rex is holding onto my shirt, I feel his grip and after a couple of seconds, I pull away from him gently and smash my lips to Rex. The switch from both of them is quick. It doesn’t even feel like anyone is neglected. When I think about our sex life. I always wonder who will be left out but that is not the case right now. I feel both of them equally. My heart is pounding heavily for the two of them.
I get lost in their kisses that I don’t hear the door.
I don’t hear the footsteps until there is a loud cough.
I pull away from them and turn to see my mother’s stare.
Shit.
This is what I wanted to avoid.
Chapter 260: Angry situation
Blue
I let go of them swiftly because now all I can think of is how the hell I am going to explain this to her. I have no words. Blue
Except maybe, they are my friends. If I tell her the truth, she will look into it and try to find ways to convince me that this is wrong.
She was never really okay with my sexuality in the first place.
Being with a guy is wrong.
You should find yourself a pretty witch to settle down with. I want to have my grandbabies.
Those are the kinds of things she will push down my head. Another reason why I never really wanted to stay in the coven. When I found out that there was a part of me that didn’t belong here. I didn’t hesitate to leave, it was easy for me to pack a bag and run along to find myself. I might have not known my father but I wanted to get to know him. I wanted an escape from this place and it led me to Gyles and Rex. So one thing is for sure.
We were fated to be together and I don’t want her to feed me with reasons why this is wrong and a mistake.
"Mother,’’ I call her.
There is a smile on her face, the kind that tells me this is all a joke to her. The fact that she caught me in this compromising situation must be funny to her. I can’t even imagine what she will say next.
"Who are they?’’ she points to them, still fucking smiling.
I take a deep breath because I don’t want to call them friends, I don’t want them to feel like I am not accepting of them. They are more than friends to me.
"They are my people,’’ I decide on that.
I mean, Gyles and Rex are my mates. She doesn’t believe in that. She doesn’t even want me to be a wolf. When I found out about Jules and this part of me, I remember her telling me that there was a way to shut it all off. That she had a spell to kill that part of me. Until now, I hate her for even suggesting that to me because I wanted to explore the Lycan in me badly.
Her smile widens as she looks at them. My eyes shift to Rex first and he manages a faint smile. He is telling me that everything will be alright and I believe him. I don’t have the strength to look at Gyles right now.
I know they are here and it has happened but I wish they didn’t come here. I was always going to return to them but now that they are here, I don’t know if it will be easy for them to leave.
"Oh, what does that mean?’’ she raises a brow, still fucking smiling.
Mothers’ smiles never mean what you might think they mean. A smile is an expression that someone has when they are pleased, happy, or amused. My mother is not happy right now. There is no part of her that is okay with the situation right now.
She never wanted me to leave in the first place. She hates Jules so much and she thinks his kind is a curse to the world. Being a wolf is an embarrassment to her and that is why she has tried to keep it from me and everyone else. No one in the community knows. I don’t think this is something she ever wants anyone to find out about.
So I don’t understand why she wants me back in the coven.
I think the best thing for the two of us is for me to leave.
Why won’t she let me leave?
I take a deep breath because she is still waiting for my answer. I have to explain his to her even though I don’t want to. "They are my people. Meaning, I am in a relationship with them.’’ I tell her with so much courage in the tone of my voice. She probably can sense that I am terrified right now. My hands are shaking. I don’t know what to expect.
"The two of them?’’
I nod.
"Can I have a word with you in private?’’ she raises a brow and doesn’t wait for me. Hurriedly, she walks out of my room and I turn to my mates with an apologetic expression on my face.
"I am so sorry about this. Wait for me here,’’ I leave them and walk out of the room to the hallway. Her back is against the wall and she seems to be in her head. This happens when she is about to cause a problem. I know she is going to make this a problem. There is no way she will accept this.
No way in hell.
"What the fuck Blue?’’ she scolds me immediately.
I take a deep breath because I need to thread this lightly "I can explain."
She shakes her head "There is no explanation that will get you out of this. I don’t understand where you got those guys from. You were supposed to be with your father. I only let you go because I knew he didn’t have any ties to the wolves in packs.’’
I furrow my brows in confusion "You didn’t let me go. I am not some child that needs your permission."
She is acting like I wouldn’t have been able to go without her permission. I left the coven on my own. I remember that time vividly because she begged me not to go and I might have told her that I needed space and I would be back, but I left on my own.
"I am your mother. I am the only one that has been by your side. How can you fucking betray me like this.’’ She shouts so loud, I am pretty sure that they can hear her in my room.
"How am I betraying you?’’ I ask her because I genuinely want to know.
"Those guys are wolves. You brought wolves into the coven.’’
I sigh because I could tell her that I didn’t bring them here. That they came on their own but I don’t want to do that. "They are leaving soon, you don’t have to worry about them,’’ I wave my hands in the air. I am trying to calm her down. Make her see that this is not as big a deal as she is making it all to be.
"Oh, you think it is that easy. I knew something was different with you. I knew you came back a different person and I will make sure I change that,’’ With that, she walks away from me with an angry glare.
I know that she is mostly all bark and no bite but for the first time, I see something in her eyes. A wave of anger that I wish she didn’t have towards this situation.
She might be serious this time.
