Chapter 130: Transitioning.
Jabi.
It feels like my head is about to explode. I don’t even know what is happening. The last thing I rember was lying down next to Darrien. Now I am in his arms and he looks very sad. My body feels weak like I have run a marathon on broken limbs. I look at him and his eyes are on , it seems like he has things that he wants to say.
’’Dar...’’ I tried to speak but the words won’t co out.
He doesn’t hear , or maybe he is too distracted to even listen. Slowly, I hear the door of my cabin opens quietly and Darrien’s footsteps are light as he leads
into my room. I can’t even walk on my own if I wanted to.
What is happening to ?
’’You’re alright,’’ he breathes those words into my ear. I feel the comfort in his words. There is no doubt in my mind that he is sincere with those words. Sohow I believe I am alright. Everything is going to be alright as long as I have him.
I feel him let go of , suddenly I am alone again. I don’t want to be alone. I shake on the couch, not agreeing to him letting
go. Using all the energy left to outstretch my arms ’’N...no,’’ I manage to blurt out those words. Desperate for him to hold . I watch him as he kneels down on the cushion his hand reaching out for .
’’You want
to stay?’’ he asks worriedly.
I am being clingy right now but he is my only source of energy. Once he leaves I will be alone and once I am alone I won’t be able to breathe. I need to breathe.
Slowly I nod my head. He manages a faint smile and then he is lifting my head up and sitting on the couch. I am still in a daze, unsure of what the hell I did. The look on his face tells
that it must be bad. The pain I feel right now is extre.
Gently he starts to stroke my hair, he is being careful with , almost like I am about to break. Why does it feel like I am slowly breaking?
’’Everything is going to be okay,’’ he assures .
The fact that he feels the need to assure
that things will be okay confuses . Sothing must have happened.
’’What happened?’’ I finally muster up so strength.
He shakes his head, ’’Not right now, I need you to rest a bit. You have been through a lot tonight.’’ he echoes calmly.
I try to sit up on the couch, I need to know what I have been through. What happened tonight that is making him look at
with so much pain in his eyes. I really need to know ’’don’t baby, just relax. You are not in the right fra of mind.’’
I really am too exhausted to fight him right now even if I wanted to. My eyes feel heavy.
’’I am here,’’ he assures .
Slowly I start to drift away. Maybe this is for the best. Once I go to sleep, I can forget about everything and all my worries will disappear.
His face fades out of my sight as fast as it appeared...
**************************
’’He attacked soone.’’
I hear the hushed voices. The person that is speaking is unrecognizable to . The only voice I want to hear is Darrien.
’’It wasn’t his fault. Sothing went wrong with the ritual. I didn’t even know he was transitioning.’’
Finally, Darrien speaks and I feel a sense of relief. The person sighs loudly. They seem a little tense. Are they talking about ?
Who did I attack?
I open my eyes and the room is dark. They are outside the house but no matter how quiet they try to be, I can hear them clearly.
’’I need to check him, see what went wrong,’’ the other person says.
What went wrong with who?
?
This is freaking
out. I don’t rember anything but from the sound of their voices and the reaction Darrien gave
earlier, sothing must have happened to .
’’I don’t want to wake him up, he needs all the rest he can get right now. Can you co back in the morning?’’
’’I can’t do that. He is a threat to the pack, I need to make sure he doesn’t hurt anyone else. Or we have to lock him up.’’
I find it really hard to believe that they are talking about
now. I have never been a threat to the pack. I have always been an insignificant mber. The kind of person that sits in the sidelines not bothering anyone. I don’t even have the strength to threaten anyone.
They can’t be talking about .
’’You have to be fucking kidding . Jabi is no threat to anyone,’’ Darrien growls so loud that it feels like the walls are shaking.
’’I got the orders from the Alpha. I can’t leave here until I have checked him. Just indulge
right now and take
to him. The easy way or the hard way.’’
I wait to hear from Darrien. I want him to refuse to whoever it is. I don’t want to see anyone. I am scared. I don’t know what happened but it must be bad from the sounds of it. I don’t want to be locked up.
The door to the cabin opens and I sit up on the couch. There is a surprised expression on Darrien’s face. They both didn’t expect
to be awake.
’’You’re awake,’’ he mutters softly.
I nod, finally seeing the owner of the other voice. The man that ca with Jules. I can’t rember his na.
’’Hello Jabi,’’ he greets
so calmly, it makes
think I imagined their whole conversation in my head. It doesn’t seem like he is here to hurt . I am sure I can trust him.
’’Hi,’ I manage, speaking has suddenly beco easier than it was a couple of hours ago. I don’t feel as weak as I did before.
’’Can I sit?’’ he asks walking closer to the couch.
I don’t have a say in anything. They are doing everything on their own accord. My eyes dart to Darrien, he is watching but doesn’t say anything.
Did sothing happen to ?
I send him a mind link.
He looks at , I know he heard
but he doesn’t answer. Why won’t the answer
and tell
what is wrong?
I need to know.
’’Do you know why I am here?’’
I shake my head.
’’Do you rember leaving this house?’’
I shake my head again.
He nods.
’’How do you feel right now?’’
Confused.
’’Tired,’’ I answer him with a half-truth.
Darrien is not even looking at
again. I don’t know what I have done but now it seems like he is upset with . Okay, maybe not upset with
but upset with the whole situation. I wish he would look at
again with his loving eyes.
’’That’s understandable, you have been through a lot.’’
I furrow my brows.
’’What happened to ?’’ I ask this man since Darrien doesn’t want to answer. Everyone is walking on eggshells around .
’’The ritual didn’t go as planned. It seems you are transitioning,’’ this man answers and he is being honest with .
’’Transitioning into what?’’ I have to ask because all this is confusing to .
He releases a sigh and I wait for him to tell
what I need to know.
’’A vampire.’’
’’That’s not true,’’ Darrien speaks for the first ti since they ca into the house. He is angry from the tone of his voice, but I can’t tell why he is angry.
’’Just calm down Darrien. This mating was not regular. Things are happening that we can’t explain. We will figure it all out,’’ the man tries to assure him but my mate is not having it.
’’This is all my fucking fault. I am the one that pushed this, thinking we could handle it all. I am so sorry Jabi,’’ he faces
the tears welling up in his eyes. I don’t him to cry right now, especially in front of this stranger. This man knows nothing about us.
I stand up from the couch and walk over to him. the energy I felt I lost feels like it Is coming back.
’’This is not your fault. I don’t know what is going on but I don’t want you blaming yourself. I can handle anything. Just put your faith in . Don’t have any regrets,’’ I grab his hands in mine, squeezing them comfortingly ’’Please trust that we will co through this.’’
I wipe the tear before it falls, he looks away from . I want him to look at
again.
’’We need to listen to the man, see what we can do. how we can fix this. Don’t panic now. I need you right now,’’ I tiptoe until my lips are on his. I just want to give him the assurance he needs.
Then we can figure out the next step.
