Ch. 396..400: The Werewolf's Vampire Mate Chapter 396-400

Chapter 396: Acceptance

Gyles

For sure, I am losing my mind.

I see the way they have been looking at me since last night. I wanted to tell them how I felt about the whole situation but I didn’t want to look like the crazy one. The book is supposed to be evil--anything associated with the book is supposed to be evil, so why do I think that I can actually trust the girl.

Why do I feel like she actually needs my help?

I am seated on the bed; it is late in the afternoon and I haven’t heard anything from Blue and his dad. Jules is supposed to help me get someone that understands what is going on.

the door opens and Rex walks in with a faint smile on his face. He has joined Blue in treating me like there is something wrong with me. They are now both walking on eggshells around me.

"You hungry?’’ he asks me as I drop my phone to the bed.

"No,’’ I tell him because I haven’t even had the energy to think about food.

"Are you sure, you haven’t had any blood today, I could go to the main house and get something for you?’’

I sit up on the bed, resting my back on the headboard "No, I am fine," I assure him as he walks further into the room. He slowly walks to the table and sits on the edge of it.

"So, have you heard from this woman again?’’

I shake my head, he nods. "You can come closer to me. I am not contagious.’’ I sigh because I don’t like the distance we have right now.

he jumps up from the bed and walks over to me. He is standing in front of me, looking at me like he is trying to figure me out.

"What are you thinking about?" I ask him, he shakes his head. I want to know his stance on all that has happened.

"I just need you to be safe, through all this, I keep worrying and thinking the worst. like something terrible will happen to you."

okay.

He is scared.

I am scared too. "I am safe right now," I assure him. He nods. I stand up from the bed and grab his hands in mine "Come here,’’ I pull him into my arms. he rests his head in the crook of my neck and I feel his breathing against me. it is soft and steady.

"I just want things to be normal. Why does life have to come with so many problems?" he asks.

"This is just a test of our strength. don’t worry about anything. it will be fine.’’

He pulls away from me slightly "You don’t think so. I can sense how you feel. you are worried and scared. I don’t need you to hide your fear from me."

His hands are clutching my shirt in a tight grip. I don’t know but I feel like he is trying to hold unto me.

"What if I make a promise to be okay, would that help?’’

He shakes his head "You can’t promise what you don’t know.’’

I sigh, he is right. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow but I want to try to be strong for him.

Help me.

The voice comes out again. this catches me off guard and makes me end up pushing Rex out of my grip. He falls to the floor. he stands up immediately and walks over to me. I can’t focus because I feel her shadow roaming around the room. the sun is bright and the weather is warm but her presence makes me cold.

"Are you okay?’’ he asks me trying to touch me, but I move away from him immediately. there is a hurt expression on his face and I don’t blame him. I just shoved him like I didn’t want anything to do with him.

"I am sorry, I just heard her again,’’ I tell him honestly because there is no need to hide this from him.

I am still here Gyles, please stop trying to block me out of your head.

Her voice echoes around the room which makes me get up from the bed, because there is no escaping her.

"I didn’t ask for this, leave me alone,’’ I scream out loud, confusing Rex even more. my voice travels around the room, but she doesn’t respond or even acknowledge my plea.

"Baby,’’ Rex manages in complete and utter confusion.

I look at him and he is watching me carefully as if trying to figure out how to deal with this.

"I can’t block her out of my mind, I don’t know why or how, but she is in my head. she is trying to talk to me and I don’t know how to make her stop.’’

he nods and reaches for me again, grabbing my arm softly. this time, I let him touch me. "Maybe you should listen to her. you have been trying to block her all this while but it seems like she has something to say to you, so maybe all you need to do is listen to her."

I take a deep breath because I am all out of options. she is never going to let me go and as long as I keep fighting this, I will be tortured.

"I don’t know how to,’’ I confess.

Rex smiles "come on,’’ he tells me, leading me out of the room and out of the house. We keep Walking until we are outside and the fresh air hits me.

"Where are we going?’’ I ask him.

"Somewhere you can concentrate,’’ he doesn’t let go of my hand as he tells me.

We keep walking until we get to the field.

"We are going to sit here and all you have to do is listen to her. I will be next to you, so you won’t be alone.’’

I nod and we both sit on the grass. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, trying to calm down all the nerves.

"Just close your eyes and meditate, I am sure she will come to you," he mutters quietly being very helpful right now. I obey his commands because I have nothing to lose.

I have to face this head-on.

Chapter 397: Answers

Gyles

This is supposed to be meditation but I can’t focus because I am terrified of the outcome of whatever we are doing. Rex is being very supportive right now--I didn’t even know I needed this.

"Just breathe,’’ he calls to me calmly.

I cross my legs as the prickly grass rubs against my skin roughly and take a couple of deep breaths. "I am right here if you need anything. Just call me out,’’ he adds and I nod because his presence is strong and comforting.

I am here now. Say what you want to say.

These are just thoughts in my head but they should be able to hear me. I mean, she is always invading my thoughts.

"I am here. I am here now. I am here. I am here, listening to you. say what you have to say,’’ I shout to the air opening my eyes. I see Rex and he is watching me quietly, I don’t mean to freak out but I am exhausted.

"Do you really want to listen to me now?’’ I look above him and she is standing there. in the same dress and no shoes. She looks beautiful. her eyes are fearful and her face is pale. the wind blows her hair freely.

"Can you see her?’’ I ask Rex--"He can’t see me,’’ she answers before he gets the chance to turn around. Her voice is soft and quiet, there is pain etched in the depth of the sound.

"Just focus on her, I am not here,’’ Rex tells me and I take it that he actually can’t see her.

"Who are you?’’ I ask her.

"Someone that needs your help,’’

I nod. okay, we are communicating. I mean that is the point of this. if I let the fear get to me, I wouldn’t listen to her.

"What do you want me to do for you then?’’ I ask her, trying to take control of this.

"Help me,’’ she answers and I close my eyes for a second. She is beating around the bush.

"Are you dead?’’ I ask her.

"Yes.’’

I inhale deeply. this is probably the most important question.

"What happened to you?’’

I see her face change, her expression change to sadness. it is hard to look at her. she is just a girl and I don’t know how to deal with this.

"It is alright. just tell me what happened to you,’’ I say to her softly.

"I was murdered, along with the rest of us’’ she tells me, the way she looks at me makes me feel like this is hard for her to say.

I don’t know what to do "Why are you with the book of magic?’’

She closes her eyes and then goes on her knees, now she is next to Rex. His eyes are closed. I guess this is him giving me the chance to talk to her. I don’t know what she expects me to do. I don’t know how I am supposed to help her?

"It is the only way we can communicate with you. it is the only thing that is giving us our powers." She reaches for me and places her hands on me. they are cold. it is so cold I think my insides are shaking. I just want to scream. this is too much for me. "We all need your help.’’ She looks into my eyes; her eyes are so lovely. I can see a little bit of light in them.

"I am not sure what to do,’’ I tell her and she seems to understand.

"I am going to leave the book tonight, in your room. I want you to touch it and be open to the answers it will give you. I want you to see what happened to us and then maybe you can help us." She is backing off and I can’t bear to watch her leave. she looks so lost. I don’t know how to help but I know I have to do something.

"I will try. I will find you and help you,’’ I say to her and she smiles. she is not saying anything but I can tell that she is happy. I don’t know how to help her but I will try.

"Thank you, don’t forget, tonight in your room,’’ she says to me before disappearing in midair.

I look at Rex once she is gone and he is still meditating with his eyes closed. I want to talk to him but I can’t.

"You can open your eyes,’’ I tell him and he does. he looks around and then back at me.

"Did you see anything?’’ I ask him. he looks at me and shakes his head. "She was here?’’ he asks me and I nod.

"She wants me to see what happened to her.’’ I don’t know what to do or what to say. I have no idea how I am supposed to help her. I didn’t even know it was possible to help her.

"Do you want to do it?’’ he asks me.

"I don’t think I have a choice,’’ I tell him and he nods. we get up and start walking back.

I am supposed to do this tonight. I am supposed to be able to help her.

Because I have no choice and I think this is the only way I can be free from whatever curse this is.

"It is going to be okay. just relax,’’ he rests his hand on my shoulder and I feel better. I trust in his words completely. Just we are walking into the house, Blue meets up with us, probably confused that I decided to come outside.

"You’re outside,’’ he says pulling me into his arms with a wide smile on his face.

I melt into his arms because the support I have from the two of them is impeccable. I wouldn’t have been able to survive in this world without Blue and Rex in my life.

They are the ones that are going to get me through this.

Chapter 398: Honeymoon

Beau

His arms wrap around me and I keep my eyes closed because this feels like a dream--one that I don’t even want to wake up from.

"I am hungry,’’ his voice travels through my ears and I shoot my eyes open immediately. His smiling face is peering up at me innocently "I knew that would wake you up,’’ he giggles and goes under the covers.

I reach for the covers and pull it off him, he laughs heartily and I know he is just messing around "Are you actually hungry because I don’t want my babies all starved up?’’ I ask him because feeding him and taking care of Lanis are my topmost priorities.

everything else is second best.

"Yes,’’ he bats his lashes at me, acting fucking cute.

I sit up on the bed and reach for my boxers at the edge of the bed "What are you craving?’’ I ask him.

He remains on the bed as I stand up and walk over to his side, kneeling down in front of him "I thought we could go downstairs for breakfast. get out of the room, maybe afterward we can have a stroll outside, I heard there is a very grand park outside,’’ he suggests.

I smile because I want to do whatever he wants to do. "How are you feeling asides from hunger. how are my babies?’’ I reach for him and rest my hand on his stomach. he smiles in my arms.

"There’s this bloating feeling--maybe it just feels weird cause I can feel them inside me."

"You can?" my eyes light up at his confession.

he smiles, placing his hand on top of mine "Well not like kicking and stuff, but I just sense them. I don’t know if that makes sense,’’ he informs me.

I smile even more. "I like that,’’ I say and he laughs.

a moment of silence passes between us and I am the one who breaks it "I’m taking you to the roof for breakfast," I say and rise to my feet.

he stands up and pulls me close to him, my head resting on his broad chest "You’re my everything,’’ he whispers in my ear and I feel my heart melting. I grab him by his waist and lift him up as he wraps his legs around my waist. He looks into my eyes and I feel all the love radiate off him. I smile as I place my hand on the back of his neck and pull him down to kiss me.

we kiss passionately and I feel like I just can’t get enough of him. the kiss is broken off when I feel his stomach grumble. We laugh and I place him on the floor. he grabs my hand and we walk out of the room. I glance at the bed and the mess we made on it.

"This is a good opportunity to get them to come clean up,’’ he tells me with a chuckle. we have been here for two days and everything has been perfect. I don’t even want to go back to the community anytime soon because I don’t want to deal with all the drama that awaits me.

There was a meeting on Fallon, the week before the wedding. there hasn’t been any conclusion on him and what we plan on doing with him.

I don’t know if it is a good idea to keep him as a prisoner. I mean, he is a dangerous man and he hates me. I don’t just believe that he has completely given up on the fight he was so adamant of.

"What are you thinking about?’’ he asks me and I snap out of my thoughts. I look at him and smile.

"I’m thinking about how I’m the luckiest man on earth,’’ I tell him and he smiles.

he leads us to the elevator and when we get off it, a couple of people enter after us. I lead him to the entrance of the rooftop restaurant and he walks into the buffet at the display.

his eyes open wide and I smile because his reaction is everything, I have accomplished by bringing him here "There is so much food,’’ he squeals as a waiter walks up to me.

"Good morning, sir. how are you today?’’ the waiter asks me. I smile and nod at him "Fine, thank you. I would like a table for two please.’’ I tell him.

"Of course, sir,’’ he says and leads us to a table near the glass wall overlooking the city view.

I sit down and Lanis sits opposite me. "I want to eat everything in sight,’’ he tells me with a wide grin on his face. I smile at him and reach for his hand under the table. He grabs it and smiles back at me "I want to make the most of this day,’’ he says.

I smile at him. "Me too,’’ I agree and we stare into each other’s eyes. he smiles as he leans forward and kisses me, but before he does, I feel another presence.

I break off the kiss and turn my head to see who it is.

"Beau Foxly?’’ a woman that I didn’t expect to see walks up to us with a smile on her face. I stand up, pulling Lanis up with me. my muscles tense as I stare at her. she is tall with a slim figure and long black hair. She is dressed in black pants and a shirt. her hair is up in a bun.

"It is you,’’ she exclaims excitedly running into my arms, I stay limb against her hug because this is not a good time for this at all.

I am here with my husband on my honeymoon.

Why the fuck does she have to show up now?

"Umm can you please let go?’’ I ask her.

She lets go of me and I see the confusion in her eyes.

"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry,’’ she says "I didn’t mean to--"

"It’s fine," I turn to Lanis, who is watching the scene with a mischievous smile "Lanis this is,’’ I try to introduce her but he cuts me off "I know who she is, we all go to the same school,’’ he waves his hand in the air.

Lanis keeps the smile on his face as he slowly turns towards her "We are in the same chem class, or should I say were. I haven’t been to school in a while,’’ he laughs nervously.

I watch him and suddenly there is nothing to worry about.

Chapter 399: Pride

Alanis

My eyes roam around the table because it seems like she is not leaving. I can’t pig out in front of her right now because she just keeps touching him and staring at me. I hate that she is here and I wish she would just leave.

"Why haven’t you been at school, all the girls have missed you...especially me,’’ she places her hand on his shoulder. she is definitely flirting with him; I can see that.

Beau looks at her hand on his arm and then at me, he looks very uncomfortable "Well, we are about to have breakfast," he coughs out nervously.

I remember the kind of guy Beau was before he met me. I know all the stories and all the girls he has been with.

Looking at Louisa right now, I can tell he has been inside her and it is taking a lot from me not to bitch slap her out of here--especially since she doesn’t want to leave.

I don’t think she has taken the hint. it is almost like she doesn’t know that she needs to back the fuck out of here.

Jeez, the thoughts in my head right now are so unlike me. I am not the jealous type. I trust my man, one hundred percent, so why do I feel like this right now?

"Oh, I was about to do the same. Do you mind if I join you guys, we can catch up on where you have been,’’ she says placing her hand on his arm again? My blood is boiling hot right now.

I look at him and he shakes his head "I think you should grab another table,’’ he tells her blatantly. all through their conversation, his eyes have never left mine. He is watching to see my reaction to this.

I have a smile on my face but I am not smiling inside. I am angry that she is touching him and smiling at him. I see the way she is looking at him and the thoughts in her mind are not what I want to be hearing right now.

Beau is an attractive man but he is mine.

"Come on, it has been so long. I missed you,’’ she rubs against his arm and bats her lashes flirtingly. Beau manages to get his arm away from her grip but she still doesn’t take a hint.

Beau stands up and walks to her "Louisa, I don’t think you get it. I am with someone right now and I would appreciate it if you didn’t touch me.’’ he grabs her hand away from his with a frown.

She turns to me in confusion "What do you mean?’’ she asks him calmly. She is acting like she has no idea what he is talking about.

"I am with someone,’’ he tells her pointing at me. I stand up and walk to him. I take his hand in mine and squeeze it tightly. I am trying to show her that I am right here and that she can’t just be all flirty with my man.

"I still don’t get it, when did you become gay?’’ she asks. My eyes grow wide and I look at Beau in shock. I don’t know what to say right now because I am speechless.

Beau looks at me and then back to Louisa "The fact that you think someone just becomes gay, says a lot about you. I think I need to make proper introductions." he turns to me with a smile on his face. "Louisa, meet Alanis, my husband,’’ he says and my heart melts inside my chest.

there is pride in his tone.

He is proud to call me his husband.

In a world where there is judgment. Where this will never be okay to most people, he doesn’t care.

He is proud

"I’m sorry, what? What did you say?’’ she looks at us with pure disgust. I can see the waterworks building in her eyes. She is shocked and angry. She never saw this coming.

"Beau, what is this?" she asks him.

He smiles at her and I watch her face fall. She looks at me and then back at him "I don’t understand?’’ she says.

"What is there not to understand? I am with Alanis and I am married to him. I hope you can respect that,’’ he tells her.

"No, I don’t think I can. I have known you for a long time and I can’t imagine that this is what you would become,’’ she stands up from the seat and I watch her as she shakes her head. I am quiet because I don’t have anything to prove to her. I don’t need to explain or try to make her understand the relationship I have with my husband.

She is nobody.

"This all makes sense. All the girls, you have been a faggot all along,’’ she seethes out, her own attempt to get him upset. I feel Beau next to me as he stiffens. I know what will happen next if he lets her continue to talk.

He tries to hold it back but he can’t. I grab his hand and squeeze it. He knows that I am telling him to calm down.

"I need you to leave right now. It was nice seeing you again but we want to be alone now,’’ I tell her calmly. I will not indulge in her hate. My life is full of love, I don’t need to add any negativity to it.

The look in her eyes says she is about to say something else but she just stands there shaking her head. She turns and walks out of the restaurant. Beau turns to me and pulls me into his arms. I am standing in front of him so I can look into his eyes.

"You’re a miracle and I love you. I don’t think I have ever loved anyone this much ever before. You are my everything,’’ he tells me and I kiss him. I am kissing him with everything I have.

I am kissing my husband.

He pulls me to the table and we sit down. I am still holding his hand because I never want to let go. "I love you so much,’’ he tells me.

I feel the same fucking way.

Chapter 400: The same page

Gyles

"Do you think this is a good idea?’’ Blue asks us pacing back and forth in the room. Jules’s friend is supposed to come to the community in two days. I don’t know if I can wait that long and it seems like there is a little communication with the book. I just have to see what she wants to show me and then we could go from there.

"I don’t know but it seems like the only option that we have,’’ I mutter quietly.

at this point, I am already too deep in this. I have basically accepted her and told her that I am going to help her--I can’t go back on that now, especially since I don’t have a choice.

"My dad is going to figure it out. He knows people that can help,’’ Blue manages. Rex is seated on the bed, watching intently, quietly. He has helped me a lot and I know that I have his blessing to do this tonight. I need to know what happened to her and if I can actually help her through this mess.

"But I talked to her, she came to me and it doesn’t seem like she is evil, she looked lost and maybe I am the only one that can help her,’’ I tell him honestly because I am at this place where I am swaying. I am still very much afraid of everything that is going on but I also feel like I can’t run away from this.

He scoffs "Do you hear yourself, Gyles? You are playing with the book of evil. I sent the book back but somehow, it keeps appearing to you. Do you think there is anything good about this situation?’’ he asks me in disbelief.

I shrug, hugging the pillow in my arms tighter.

"I don’t know but I can’t just ignore her. She said she was going to show me what happened to her and the rest of them, once I find out, I will know what I can do next.’’

this is how I feel.

I can’t just cower in fear.

I need to find out what happened to her and why she is here.

She needs me, I can’t let her down.

He sighs.

"Are you sure about this Gyles?’’ he asks me again.

I nod, "Yes.’’

I hope that I am making the right decision and that I will not regret this.

outside, the wind blows up and I can hear the trees moving. I am scared but I have to do this. I can’t just run away from it; I need to know what is going on.

"Okay," he relents and I breathe out in relief. I am grateful that he is letting me do this. Rex and Blue have been so supportive and understanding. they are the ones that make me stronger through all this.

Blue walks over to me and I let go of the pillow and hold him tightly "I am so worried. I don’t want anything to happen to you.’’ he cries in my arms, rex crawls over to us from his side of the bed and I take him in my arms too. The two of them just make it all better. hugging Blue alone is comforting but hugging both of them at the same time is like a security blanket around me. I feel safer, stronger, and happier.

***********************

We are all in front of my room door. I haven’t even spent a month in this room, after the whole mess with Roger, Beau gave me a room in his house. A place that I could call home and it has felt like home through the short time I have stayed in this room. This community has given me everything that I have always wanted.

I have a family now and I don’t want my decisions to mess that all up. Right now, I am hesitant about the decision I made to see her tonight. I don’t know the repercussions of my actions but I want to find out the truth.

I want to get this over with.

"Are you coming inside with me?’’ I ask them both because for the first time since I go to the pack, I don’t want to be alone.

Blue shakes his head "I think you need to do this on your own. We will be right outside if you need us.’’ He assures me by grabbing my hand in his and giving it a squeeze.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath. Letting go of his hand, I replace the contact with the door handle. My hand lingers on it until I turn it slowly, and walk into the room. The lights are on from when I left it yesterday which makes it easier to close the door. I give them one last smile as I walk into the room and walk over to the bed.

She said she would come to me tonight--she said she would explain everything through the book.

All the answers that I need, I expect to get from her. I cross my legs and wait for her, counting the ticking of the clock on the wall. The window is closed but the curtains are open. I look out the sky and it is dark. I hate being alone in the dark. I hate that I can’t hold them right now.

I am nervous. My fingers are shaking slightly and I feel my heart beating in my chest. This is too much.

"What are you going to show me?" I ask her even though she hasn’t made herself known. the silence is eerie, making me feel like I am losing my mind.

"Hello?" I ask her aloud and panic starts to set in.

"Gyles?" I hear her. I am not even surprised.

My eyes snap in the direction of the voice. She is by the window, in the same clothes. in an instant, the book appears on the bed again.

I take a deep breath as I wait for her to tell me what is so important. Suddenly all the fear I had is gone and replaced with curiosity.
