Ch. 311..315: The Werewolf's Vampire Mate Chapter 311-315

Chapter 311: Wake up

Blue

We came here to talk about things, get him to see that he needs to be strong. Rex doesn’t think he can do anything. he is very insecure and that is one thing I have noticed about him. I have tried to make him see that he is stronger than he thinks. I know that he is but I need him to see it for himself. I need him to believe in himself.

"I remember everything. I know there was someone else there," he repeats. Just the fact that he seems to have gotten a bit of his memory must be exciting for him. I don’t know what I will do after I get him back but I need to get him back first. I need him to be himself again and then we can focus on getting Levine back and finding out who is behind all this.

"Did you see the person?’’ Gyles asks.

Rex shakes his head immediately "I only heard a voice. there was someone telling her what to do. It seemed like she didn’t even know what she was getting into,’’ he explains.

I nod "We shouldn’t focus on that right now. I need you back and then I can figure the rest out,’’ I tell him because like I said. Having him back is my priority.

"But knowing who is responsible will make things easier,’’ Gyles interjects. I know he is right because even if we get Rex back, whoever is controlling might still do the same thing again but the first step is getting him back.

"We will cross that bridge when we get there. Right now, you need to come back to us,’’ I face Rex. he gulps down, probably feeling the pressure of my request. I might be asking too much but that is the way we can move forward.

"How do I do that. I don’t even know what is happening.’’

"You have to want to come back. I want you to use this as your motivation. I want you to remember us and what you will be leaving behind. We need you in our lives, Rex. you have to be strong and fight this.’’

I am just confusing him with my words. I might not know how to get him back but I can let him know how important he is to us.

"I don’t know what to do. I am scared Blue,’’ he reaches for me and I hold him. I don’t how long he stays in my arm but I also know that there is no time. we will wake up soon and he will still be in here. The fact that he is alone and scared torments me. I want to take his place. I want to suffer in his stead. I wish I could transfer it all to me. I wish I was strong enough to do that but I am not, so I have to make sure that he gets through this.

"You are strong enough T-Rex. you can do anything, you just have to believe in yourself,’’ Gyles gives him some encouragement. He pulls away from me and reaches for him. I watch them as they embrace. No sense of jealousy, no hurt, just love. A lot of love bursting out of me. Gyles leans forward and presses his lips against Rex’s. The kiss is short and as they pull apart, he rests his head on his forehead "Remember what I told you when we first met?’’ he asks Rex, who just nods his head. I wasn’t there, I don’t know what he said to him but I am here now. I have a chance to find out.

"You can do anything. I see the strength in your eyes. Do not give up so easily. Keep fighting.’’ Gyles mutters and my heart thuds against my chest. I love watching this, it makes my heart melt. Seeing them being intimate, seeing them love each other, could satisfy me for the rest of my life.

"Okay," Rex mumbles so low that we almost don’t hear him. I know this is hard but I completely believe in him. he pulls Gyles to the bed and I go to the other side, next to him. We lie in each other’s arms; he turns to me "Can we just stay like this until we wake up?’’

I like the fact that he said we.

He is going to come out of this too. He is going to wake up. he is going to fight this fight with us. I have so much faith in him that I know all the things he is capable of.

"Coming to your home was a bad idea,’’ Gyles mutters in his arms. He is looking at me, he wants me to agree with him but I don’t. I am glad he came, I am glad he made me realize just how important they are. I was so upset with him for tricking me that I left the community willing. I wanted to torture him, make him hurt but now, all I want is to be with both of them. I want them in my life and I will do whatever it takes to complete the ritual. I will do whatever it takes to appease the gods. I will be with them, no matter what happens.

"Nothing in life is ever a mistake. You were meant to be here and I am glad that I am fighting this with you guys. I would have been alone but I have the two most important people with me. I take that as a blessing.’’

Gyles smiles and I see that he is content with my answer. I have had a lot of issues with Gyles but I have come to love him despite everything.

"I am ready to wake up,’’ Rex mutters calmly.

My smile widens and I close my arms. His scent is strong in the whiff of my nose. I have been waiting for those words. he is ready to fight with us.

It only takes a second to open my eyes and Gyles is next to me on the bed. we get up at the same time and I walk over to the room next to mine. He follows me, we are hoping to walk in to the real Rex. we are hopeful that he will remember the dream.

My hand rests on the handle "He will be fine,’’ I assure Gyles even though I have the same fear.

He’s got this.

My wolf gives me encouragement.

Yes.

Chapter 312: Sacrifices

Rex.

I open my eyes and I am alone. The room is dark, the sky is looming over me, almost like a reminder that there is trouble. I sit up on the bed and run my hands through my hair. It is long over my fingers. This has me confused. I look over at my hands and they are well manicured and long. Very feminine.

You are not who you should be right now.

Blue’s words come into my head at that moment. I stand up from the bed, feeling lighter than I was. I am not myself right now. something happened to me and now I am someone else.

I walk over to the bathroom and the person in the reflection is not me. the person that did this to me—Levine. I take a deep breath because I don’t want to panic. In the dream, Blue assured me that once I came back, we would figure everything out. I am here now, I need to find him. I hear the door of the room as it clicks open and my heart thuds in my chest. I am scared. Afraid that Levine is back to hurt me. "Rex,’’ I hear Gyles’s voice. it sounds like music to my ears and I run out of the bathroom, throwing all the fear out of the window. Just knowing that he is the one makes me assured. Makes me feel better. He looks at me with a smile on his face and I run into his arms. He welcomes me wholeheartedly. Blue is behind him.

My hero.

He walks over to Gyles and we all embrace. The more time we spend figuring this relationship out, the more normal it feels. At first, I didn’t understand what the hell we intended to do. All three of us in a relationship but now it makes complete sense to me.

I am happier in both their arms.

They make me complete.

"This is weird,’’ Gyles mutters after we pull apart.

"Yeah,’’ Blue agrees with a nod.

I know what they are talking about. I am not Rex. I am not their mate right now "It feels like I am embracing an old lady,’’ he adds and I can’t help but laugh because I almost forgot all this. the little things. The banter, the jokes, Gyles being Gyles. I almost lost it all and if not for them not giving up, I never would be here.

"I am going to call Major. He said he would help once you remember, you remember now, so we can get back to normal.’’ Blue says and walks out of the room. He doesn’t wait for a response and I get it. he wants this to be done with and I feel the same way.

"How do you feel?’’ Gyles asks, grabbing me back to the bed.

I know what he is talking about. The last time I was conscious, there was this looming sensation. This darkness that I felt would eventually take over. right now, I don’t feel anything. I don’t know if she is still in my head. When she took me, she assured me that I wouldn’t get hurt. That she just needed me. now it seems like her end game was me dying. She lied to me, so I don’t know when she plans on striking again.

I don’t want to have to go through that mind control again. I don’t want to have to deal with it and then end up hurting them. I remember the last time. I remember hurting Gyles yet again.

"You’re okay,’’ I manage meekly.

He furrows his brows "I should be saying that to you,’’ with a nervous chuckle.

I shake my head "I hurt you. I am so sorry.’’

He grabs my hands in his "You know it wasn’t your fault, right? You know Levine is the one that hurt me. not you.’’

Yeah, it might not have been my fault but at the end of it, I still used my hands to cause him pain, so I will always feel guilty about that.

"I know, but I just want to apologize. I want you to know that I would never hurt you intentionally.’’

"You don’t have to tell me that, I already know.’’ He gives me this warm smile, it is like reassurance to me. I feel a thousand times better, just from seeing him smile. The door opens and Blue walks back in "He said he would be here in a couple of hours,’’ he explains.

"What happens after. Have you thought it through?’’

Blue runs his hands through his hair. I know he hasn’t thought that far "I don’t know. I want to take the two of you and run away from here. I can’t deal with the coven right now.’’

"You want us to be on the run for the rest of our lives?’’ Gyles questions him in disbelief.

"I don’t know G; I am out of options.’’

"We have the book; we have the man that gave you the book. As long as Levine is still alive, she will still be in control of him. we have to find her and kill her.’’

The way Gyles says it, makes it sound so easy.

"What book?’’ I ask confused.

I know I have been absent for some time now but I will like to be in the loop "Nothing, there is no book,’’ Blue brushes it off but Gyles cuts him off "You know that is the only option. You know it and you don’t want to give in. we have to cut off the spell completely, we can’t be doing things half-assed."

I watch them, unsure of where I am come in "I will not give in to evil. That book is evil, using it would endanger us even more,’’ he screams.

"How do you know? What If that is the only option?’’

"There has to be another option. There has to be a good way of doing this.’’

Gyles sighs loudly "Let me be the sacrifice. Let me use it." he stands up and walks over to Blue. he grabs both of his hands in his and they are having this eye contest—staring into each other "I won’t let him disappear again B, this is the only way."

He sounds so desperate and I can’t help but think that this is my fault. I am the one they are having this argument about.

They are talking about evil and sacrifices and I don’t know what to say.

"Okay,’’ Blue breathes out but he sounds pained "I will use it. not you. once this is over, you have to promise me that you will not hesitate to leave," he turns to me "Both of you."

I can’t make that promise.

I will never leave him.

Chapter 313: The possibility

Alanis.

"Has anyone come over?’’ Darrien asks with a smile on his face. I haven’t seen Darrien since he left the community, he looks happier than before he left. Whatever Jabi is doing is working. I don’t even want him to come back if that means he will always have this glow on his face.

"Nope, what are you asking?’’ I can tell that he is beating around the bush right now. there is something on his mind and he doesn’t just want to come out and say it.

He shakes his head "Never mind. So how are things going? I heard a rumor," his eyes shift lower until he is staring at my stomach. I raise a brow because I want him to say it outright.

"Nothing’s different,’’ he manages with a straight face. I know he wants to ask if I am really pregnant. He probably heard it from Eligio. I mean, this is not a secret. Everyone knows—even father. I told El to let him know and he hasn’t said a word. I know he is already disappointed in me. I mean, there is no way I could add to that disappointment. I have reached the lowest bar already.

"What were you expecting?’’ I cross my arms over my chest and he watches me intently. He is looking for the bump and yes, there is a bump but it is so tiny that you will have to see me shirtless. Beau is the only one that has seen my bump. He is the only one that I have shown that vulnerability. I am still insecure about the whole process but anytime I think about what Selene showed me. I know that there is a light at the end of this pregnancy tunnel. I know that this is a blessing that I can’t let go of.

"You are not telling me something? I thought we had a new relationship?’’ he asks with a frown. Darrien is a drama queen. He has always been a drama queen but now, we do have a new relationship.

I love him with all my heart.

I am closer to him than I ever thought I would be.

"We do, but you were on a vacation, so I didn’t think disturbing you was the best thing at the moment."

He scoffs "Dude, I live for disturbances. You had big news; you should have told me." he accuses me with a scowl.

Like I said—drama queen.

"You already know, and I am sure that is why you are here in the first place.’’

He shakes his head "I actually came here for another reason.’’

I raise a brow "Which is?’’

He looks away from me "My baby missed the community,’’ he lies. I know when Darrien is lying and right now, he is full of shit. I just don’t know what shit he is on about now.

"I guess congratulations are in order?’’

I roll my eyes "Yeah they are.’’

He laughs "Dude, the weirdest shit keeps happening to you. I mean, first, you end up with a vamp and now you are pregnant. Why aren’t you terrified?"

I don’t want to think about the times before my acceptance of this. Darrien has no idea how scared I was. Hell, I am still scared.

"You know, weird things happened to you. your mate is a fucking Hybrid,’’ I remind him "who’s to say this isn’t going to happen to him too.’’

I am teasing him. but there is the possibility. I mean, me getting pregnant might not be normal, but nothing about my relationship with Beau is normal. Darrien is the same. Jabi is just like me. he could end up the same way.

"You have got to be kidding. That can’t happen right?’’ he stares at me.

He is asking me like I have any clue about the supernatural things that happen in our world. the goddess has her plan. One that we can’t choose on our own. granted, I appreciate everything she has done so far but it is all out of our control. "Jabi can’t handle being pregnant. my baby is still a baby, how will he have a baby when he is still one?’’

I burst out in laughter because Darrien never ceases to amaze me "You are a fucking joke." I tell him as I stand up from the bed. he walks over to me.

"Don’t scare me like that, please. We are not ready for all that.’’

I shrug "You should prepare yourself. You never know what would happen." I am still messing with him and it is working. He rolls his eyes and before he can respond, someone knocks on my door. I walk over to it and Witt, one of the people on guard duty today is on the other side of the door.

"Someone is here to see you,’’ He tells me.

"Who?’’ I ask him because I wasn’t expecting anyone. I hope it is not Russ. When Beau sprung him up on me the other day, I wasn’t ready for him. Russ is a lot and I don’t need that right now.

"He didn’t tell me who he is but he told me you would be expecting him.’’

With everything that has happened in the community. With Cassius and his torment. I wouldn’t expect Witt to just let anyone in.

"Did you let him in?’’ that is the first thing I can ask. I have to protect myself and the community. The fact that the person refused to disclose his name, just shows that there is more.

"No id dint."

Darrien walks with me as we go out of the house and to the gates. My heart races in my chest, for fear and worry, crawls within.

"You don’t have to worry about anything," he assures me. I am suspicious of him because he came to the community wanting to know something and it seems to me like he knows who is at the other side of the gates. Witt plays with the locks until it clicks and I walk out completely shocked by the person.

"Father.’’

Chapter 314: The acceptance

Alanis.

"Father,’’ I repeat, I can’t get over the shock of seeing him here. He is dressed in a black suit. It seems like he just came straight from the office. The expression on his face is different from the one he usually has. The confidence, pride. It seems to be gone at this moment. I don’t know why he is here but it seems like Darrien knows.

"Hello son,’’ he smiles nervously.

Why is he nervous?

Sheesh, I have too many questions but I can’t leave him standing out here. This is the first time; he has made an attempt to get to know this side of me. he was never accepting of it all and now he is here—in the community.

"Come in,’’ I give him space to enter and he nods his head. Our walk back to the house is quiet. I don’t know what to say, I don’t want to say the wrong things. I want this visit to go as smoothly as it can. I want him to leave here understanding me.

Father is walking next to me, but I glare at Darrien, who just chuckles in amusement. We get to the house and I lead him to the living room. The one for visitors, not the one for meetings. He sits down on one of the chairs in the middle space. He looks calm now, almost like he has done some mental preparation. "Can I get you anything to drink,’’ I know the only thing he would want is blood.

He raises a brow "Do you still drink blood or have you lost that part of yourself?’’ he asks, I sense the snide tone in his question. I have hopes that he is here to make things right. I mean, that is the only reason why he would be at my house.

"I do. Should I get some for you?’’ I ask him.

Darrien walks over to the chairs and takes a seat opposite him. I follow him because I would rather be close to Darrien right now. "No, I came here to talk.’’

I nod as I sit down.

"I heard about your ordeal,’’ he mutters.

I frown because he is back to being the jerk, he has been all this while "What ordeal would that be?’’ I ask him curiously.

I know he is talking about the pregnancy and I will not have anyone backlash the gift of the lives inside me. I might have my fears and I might have said and thought some awful things but they are my babies and no one is allowed to talk about them as anything but a blessing.

"Eligio told me, at first I didn’t know how to handle it but I spoke to Darrien and I think I can come to accept it all.’’

I look at Darrien and he smiles. I knew he knew about this. he was acting too suspicious.

"What do you mean by accepting it?’’

He shrugs "This is very hard for me. I have so much worry that things would go wrong for you. this is a big deal. The dynamics of it all don’t seem right but I want to be supportive. I want to be the man I have always been. The one that found you in that hospital. The one that vowed to take care of you for as long as I am alive."

My heart thuds in my chest at his words. he is saying a lot and I am trying to process it all. This is all I have wanted. His acceptance. I wanted him to accept Beau so badly and he is seated in front of me, telling me that he is ready to accept it all. I don’t know how to react right now.

I remain silent as I try to think of words to say "Oh, good thing father. Cause I just heard that the same thing might happen to me." Darrien decides to be the buffer. Somehow, that is his attempt at lightening the mood.

I look at father and he opens his eyes wide "What?’’

Darrien laughs "Apparently, you might be a double grandfather.’’ He giggles and I hit him on his chest to stop him from spewing nonsense.

I turn back to my father and he looks at me at the same time "I don’t know what to say. I have wanted this moment since I met Beau. I wanted your approval so badly.’’

He smiles "You have it.’’ he stands up from the couch and I do the same. My heart is doing this happy dance and I can’t wait to tell Beau about this. he and a couple of the members from the pack went hunting. He should be back in about two hours. These days, he has been spending a lot of time hunting. Hunting makes him stronger and he says he wants to be the strongest he can be to protect his babies. The fact that Fallon is locked up right now, under thorough eyes, he has been able to focus on other things. He has been able to focus on the pack and making things better.

"I don’t know how to react to this. I appreciate this so much,’’ I cry. I am at a loss for words. things seem to be taking a turn for the better. I don’t have to worry about anything but making sure the delivery of my babies goes smooth, without a hitch.

"You don’t have to say, anything son. I should be the one apologizing."

I shake my head "You had every right to be worried. I didn’t expect you to accept this so easily. It’s not your fault,’’— "don’t say that I am your father. I should accept you no matter what."

My heart dances even more.

This is a lot.

I am at a place of bliss.

"Can we still have that dinner? The one with Beau?’’ he asks.

My eyes open wide from the shock and excitement. This will mean as much to Beau as it does to me. he knows how much I wanted this; he will be as happy as I am at this moment.

"I would like that father."

All is right with the world.

Chapter 315: Always been on your corner

Blue

"It worked, huh?’’ he smiles at me as I open the door to the house. Major walks in and I think of what to say next. I still don’t trust him but he is the only one that has helped me so far. I know he will have something he would want in return after this favour. I am already expecting it because people don’t just help for free. He is not someone that I have ever seen as selfless.

"Yeah, he remembers everything."

He stops and then looks at me with a serious expression "Everything?’’

I nod "Yeah, there is someone else involved, which means you might have been right about Levine not being the mastermind all along."

No matter what I find out, Levine will always be guilty. She might not have planned it all but she involved herself in hurting my mother. She ended up being responsible for her death and I will not forgive her. She will be executed, just like the elders want.

"That’s a good thing...isn’t it?’’

I nod.

"Did he see who it was? Can you identify the person?’’ he asks me curiously. It seems like he is a little too curious.

I shake my head "he didn’t see the guy’s face. just the voice. I don’t know if he will be able to recognize it again if he hears it."

I watch Major, for a sense, anything that will show me why his interest in this is strong but he shakes off the strange expression and smiles widely "It is a good thing. We are a step closer to the truth."

I agree with a nod "I need to find Levine. There has to be a way to track her.’’

This is me just throwing it all out there. I don’t want to have to resort to using the book. I don’t want to resort to going back to Em for his help. I would like to do this the good way. That is why I am here, trying to see if Major would be able to help me.

"I might be able to help you but I don’t want to make any promises. Let us just get to rex and see if we can get him back first,’’ he tells me and my heart reacts to his words. he hasn’t made any promises but I already feel grateful. I want to be optimistic and believe that things won’t have to go the other direction.

What if he is the one behind everything?

My wolf questions. I don’t want to think the worst of everything. there is the chance that he could be bad but I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. If I condemn him without even knowing anything, then I might just end up losing the ones I love. I know I shouldn’t trust him and I don’t trust him—this is just me using him for what I want.

"You know, I always wondered why you were so different from the rest of us,’’ he tells me as we walk down the halls, to the direction of my room.

I glance at him and give him a faint smile. Everyone hated me for being different. Now I am fucking glad that I am not like them. I am so glad that I have a chance to escape it all.

"You just thought I was a loser.’’

He laughs "I never thought you were a loser. I always felt a presence inside you. I knew there was more to you.’’

I raise a brow "Oh really?’’

He nods "Do you remember the book you found, at the party in my house?’’ he asks.

I remember it like it was yesterday. The book in his library. There was a party that I was forced to go to by my mother. I didn’t want to go and I wouldn’t have been invited if she wasn’t. I did the one thing I usually used to do. Go somewhere secluded and stay alone. I went down to the library at their mansion just to while away time.

"What about it?’’

He smiles "The book about Lycans? Ring a bell?’’

I frown "What are you getting at?’’

"I made you find the book. I always had my eyes on you. Always knew there was more to you.’’ he tells me.

I never even noticed him watching me. I always had the notion that I will always be alone. He was shit to me and now he is trying to take the glory of the first time I felt a connection to my true self.

"You might not believe me but I have always known. I have always been at your corner.’’

He winks just as we get to the door of my room. Gyles opens the door before I can respond to Majors confession. I don’t know how to feel about all that he just said. I don’t trust him. I will never trust him.

It seems like you do.

My wolf attacks me snarkily.

I roll my eyes and grab Gyles by his arm gently "he is still asleep,’’ he tells me in a low voice. I lean into him and take a whiff of his scent. It makes me feel better. I turn to major and he has an amused smile on his face.

Rex has been very exhausted and I don’t blame him. this whole ordeal is draining. I am so proud of him for how long he has held up. he is my brave little man.

"We can do this while he is asleep. It will be better. He will feel less pain,’’ he assures me and I remember how hurt Rex was earlier from the last session.

"I don’t think that is a good idea. we should wake him up,’’ Gyles interjects with a glare. I see that he doesn’t like Major. I completely understand him for not trusting him. he has every right to but we need him right now.

"Let’s do this majors way. He will be fine,’’ I slide my hand up Gyles’s arm to calm him down and he releases a sigh.

"come on.’’
