The Werewolf's Chapter 148: For reasons unknown

Chapter 148: For reasons unknown.

’’Run and never look back.’’ The man’s voice echo through the darkness of the sky under the full moon. The younger boy wipes the tears as they fall off his face out of his control. He reaches for the older man’s hand and grabs unto the hems of his shirt. The resistance clear in his actions.

’’I don’t want to go. I won’t leave you,’’ he cries desperately for a miracle. Anything to save them from the ordeal they face. The sounds of footsteps get closer and the closer they get, the more terrified the older boy becos.

’’there is no ti, I will not forgive myself if sothing happened to you. Please just listen to

and go,’’ this ti, his voice is louder, angrier. Maybe the anger will deter the boy and make him listen.

’’You said you would never leave . You are leaving

now,’’ he shakes his head, being completely stubborn at this mont.

’’Stop this right now. We talked about this. There was a plan. If anything happened you agreed to run. Why are you doing this now.’’ is voice croaks as it gets harder and harder for him to express himself. This is not as black and white as the younger boy is making it to be. He cannot leave because he had made a pact with his family. If there was a situation like they were facing right now, he had to stay. He had to fight and salvage whoever he could. Running away right now with Rogers would be a betrayal. One that he would never be able to get out of.

’’I don’t want to lose you. I love you.’’

’’I love you too and I need you to survive. You have to survive for

and all that we shared. Promise

you will never give up?’’ Gyles manages in between the sniffs and crying.

The younger boy nods his head imdiately and their lips sh together for a kiss that feels like the last as they both clutched unto each other. In the eyes of everyone, this was a goodbye kiss. They both knew it, as they slowly let go of each other.

’’I love you so much,’’ Gyles manages as the tears fall down his face.

The mont he watches the love of his life disappear, the doors to the room open and a smiling monster looks up at him.

Beau.

My eyes stay open and fixed to the man in front of

in complete and utter shock. My hands tremble against the jeans I have on. This is shocking to

because he is soone I will recognize in an instant. Those eyes, the way they looked at him.

How is this even possible?

The fact that he is here ans I have officially lost my mind.

’’What is going on?’’ I blurt out in confusion.

Atieno leads him closer to the couch and they both sit down opposite . My eyes stay fixated on the man in front of . I can’t even react properly to this because I am still in shock.

’’I thought you died.’’ I manage to breathe out.

’’He never did. Cassius being hell-bent on getting revenge even though he didn’t see for himself. He never verified his death. Gyles has been alive all this while.’’

All the mories Cassius shared with

co springing back. Even from them, I am still persistent on the fact that he died. Now sohow along the lines. Gyles is here and he is alive. This could stop everything. I need to know how this even happened in the first place.

My eyes dart from Gyles to Atieno. I don’t even know what to ask. I don’t even know how to comprehend this. This ans a lot. Letting Cassius know about this will break him completely. I want him to get to that point where he would realize everything that has happened and have complete remorse but I will also be there to kill him. I will not let this slide. I want his final mont to be seen by his one true love.

’’Why is he so quiet?’’ I ask confused by his silence. Staring at Gyles now, he is nothing like the man I rember in those mories. His expression is blank, almost like he is not really here.

’’He has been like this since we found him. The only reason why we haven’t done anything about it.’’

’’Where did you find him?’’ I ask wanting to know all the details. Lanis is quiet through all this. I can’t explain how happy I am from this new developnt. I thought our chances were slim to none. Cassius is the biggest threat I have had to face till now. I was so scared that I would let everyone down but now, here in this mont. There is hope.

’’It has been a couple of years now. News went out about Cassius and people talk. Along the line, his history was brought up and more talk. The wolves that attacked the Brightwood family, in Lanesville adows. Till this day, there is no surviving mber in the pack. No one knows the reason why they ambushed those vampires. The answers to those questions have been buried along with them but they never killed Gyles. He was found in a sleep state in a coffin in the moonlight cave of their pack. Asleep for over three hundred years.’’

I knew there was another side to the story, from the beginning. I knew that Cassius had his own picture of everything that happened but I also knew that it wasn’t the only picture that was painted. I was curious to find out what happened. I wanted to know why my kind would ambush a family of vampires in the night while they were all asleep. Even now, I still want to know and it seems like the Elis don’t even have a clue.

They are supposed to be the strongest and Wisest of their kind but to , they are only the oldest. They have had Gyles for years and did nothing about it.

’’Why are you showing

him now?’’ I ask wanting to know their reason.

’’We found Cassius, forrly known as Roger when he was just a kid. We made him who he is today. He was just a boy with nothing but the blood flowing through his veins but my sister Lucinda, took a liking to him. We made him part of the family, turned him into one of us.’’

Ah ha. So they are the ones that made him into a monster.

’’We thought we could salvage the only good left in him. For years, we tried. He was hell-bent on revenge. Nothing else mattered to him. We couldn’t do anything to save him, and we couldn’t eliminate him because of the love Lucinda had for him. Just like Gyles is his weakness, Cassius is Lucinda’s. She has been trying to protect him. Make it seem like there is still hope for him but the more people he kills, the less I believe in that.’’

He pauses and I watch him unsure of how I feel about his honesty ’’We rarely involve ourselves in the lives of other vampires. We like to stay quiet but this has gone on for too long and I have listened and tried to understand Lucinda’s feelings for too long. now, we need action. We need to end this and I know this is the only way we will get him to stop without having to kill him.

’’Oh, I plan on killing him. No matter what,’’ I announce because I don’t want to act like I believe he is redeemable.

There is no other way for .

Atieno furrows his brows ’’I know how you feel, if it cos to that, he has to die but we have to try things this way first.’’

Why do they even need ? They have Gyles. That is all they need to get Cassius to back off. I am irrelevant to their plan.

’’there is no other way for . You seem to forget that Cassius has killed my people. He has hurt his kind too. I will not sit back and try and play matchmaker to bring him to the good side. That is not going to happen.’’

’’I understand but there is a contention right now, what you plan to do could start a full-on war. We don’t want this to get to that, let us try and settle this amicably. Cassius will pay for his cris but no one has to die.’’

I stand up from the couch. I don’t agree with his words. I believe the only way this will end is with his death. As long as he is alive, there will be pain and misery. As long as he is still as strong as he is, he will always be a threat to

and my family.

I have to kill him.
