The Werewolf's Chapter 171: Everything is not what it seems

Chapter 171: Everything is not what it seems

Cassius.

Beau is the most selfless person I have ever t. If the tables were turned, I wouldn’t have given him this chance and now thinking about it, I suddenly hate the person I beca after losing Gyles. I hate that I killed all those people.

No matter what transpired, I shouldn’t have taken things so far and maybe thinking back to it all is pointless. What is done, is done but I can’t help but be grateful to him and his act of kindness. He is a wolf, the kind I hate so much, and he helped . he is doing a request that I don’t deserve.

He is a better person than I ever will be.

I guess dying is the best punishnt for

and I have accepted my fate. I just need to know what happened to him, but I need to find out. If I have to get into his head tonight and see it all, that Is what I am going to do. they took him, didn’t kill him but killed the rest of the family.

Why did they spare him?

They must have had a reason.

I grab him by his hand, and he flinches against my touch. Beau didn’t even tie

up again. he is trusting

one last ti and I don’t intend on breaking that trust. Gyles has always been the most important person in my life and when he died. I didn’t have anything I was living for and that is why I acted out so much. Now that he is alive again. I will not do anything to ss this up.

’’Co on,’’ I urge him to a corner of the basent.

This is not the worst place I have ever stayed in. I have lived in worst conditions but sohow, this place seems like paradise, just because he is here. ’’I need you to rember . I need you to be okay before I die,’’ I tell him as we both sit down on the cold ground. I look at him and a smile crawls to my face. he looks exactly like he did all those years back. Nothing has changed about him. He is still the perfect man I once loved.

The silence is eerie.

I expect him to call my na. tell

a funny joke like he used to but I know it is not going to be that easy. I have a couple of hours with him. in the span of those minutes and seconds, I plan on getting to the bottom of it all. I plan on bringing him back to the man he was.

If I have to use the last shred of energy left in . I will not die without knowing the truth.

What do you plan on doing with the truth?

The voice in my head asks .

I don’t know. I am done taking revenge. I am tired of fighting. maybe it’s just seeing him here. The fact that I can hold him again. Gyles doesn’t fight

when I touch him. he might not rember

but his body still knows my touch.

’’You need to rember , Gyles. I am dying.’’ I breathe out those words, unsure of what else I could possibly say to bring him back.

The blank stare he has just remains on his face. I release a sigh of frustration. ’’We were best friends a long ti ago. You were my everything.’’

It is very hard talking about all this, but this is the only person that makes it easy. He is the only person I can completely pour my heart out too. He is the only one I want. fuck, I just realised sothing. Life fucking sucks. Why couldn’t he co into my life sooner? When I still had a chance of being saved. Now it is too late, and he is here.

This fucking sucks.

’’Whenever you feel like the world is closing in on you. Rember , rember all that we shared and know that even if I am not next to you, I will always be in your heart. That will never go away.’’

I rember one of the last things he told

and suddenly I am not spiralling as hard anymore. His legs are crossed together. The sight in front of

is adorable and I can’t help but smile at him and all that he is.

’’Can I get into your head; do you give

permission?’’ I slide closer to him as I ask him. my legs go around his body as I pull him closer. I am still in pain; this is very hard for

but sohow there is this zeal within

that is blocking out all the pain. I can only focus on him and ignore everything else. I have until the sun cos up.

He doesn’t respond but I see his eyes as they flicker. I take that as my response and place both hands on his temples again. the last ti I got into his head, I showed him sothing. This ti, I want him to show . The only way I will be successful in this is if he gives

consent. That is the only way it will work. I cannot force my way into his head. I close my eyes and the room suddenly becos quieter. The only sounds are our heavy breathing. I focus on his breathing because the sound is like music to my ear.

The normal spinning starts, the fact that we are at this stage just ans that sothing is happening. He is letting

in.

Fuck yes.

Darkness transpires into light, and light transpires into a mory. A room, just like the one we are in now. Dingy and dark. I look around and it is empty. It feels like I am sitting down on a chair. Whatever this is, is Gyles mory, so he is the one sitting down. I try to move my hands, but it feels like they are tied to sothing.

’’Help,’’ I hear his voice. God, I have missed his voice so much and even though it sounds like he is in pain, it feels like music to my ears.

This is the mory. The one that will explain everything to . the one that will show

what the fuck happened to him. why that attack happened in the first place. Finally, I will have the answers to all the fucking questions running through my head.

He shouts even louder, this ti the door in front of us opens and a man walks inside. He has a bag of blood in his grip as he walks towards us. there is a smile on his face as he goes on one knee with the bad in front of —or should I say, Gyles. Since this is his mory.

’’You don’t realise how long we have been looking for you and here you are now.’’ His smile widens. I don’t feel any threat coming from him. he seems like an Ally and not an enemy.

’’Why are you doing this to ?’’ Gyles asks.

’’Because you are important to us. you are all that matters.’’

He tries to budge out from the chair, but the chains are too tight. It is hard to break free from them ’’You have to stop fighting Gyles. We are not here to hurt you.’’

I believe him. it doesn’t seem like he wants to hurt him.

’’What did you do to my family?’’

The man’s smile wipes out of his face and is replaced with an angry scowl ’’They were not your family. Those monsters don’t deserve to be called that.’’

’’They are not monsters. They are the only people that matter.’’

’’You don’t know the full story. You don’t know all the things they did to you. To our family. You were just a baby. How were you supposed to know?’’

’’What are you talking about?’’

the man stretches his hand out and gives him the blood ’’We were too late. They made you one of them. There is no going back from that.’’ he pauses and tears the nylon of the bag ’’Drink this.’’ he forces the bag into his mouth. it feels like I am drinking it with him. I feel one with him right now.

Gyles drinks until there is nothing left and all the strength in him resurfaces. ’’Who are you?’’ he asks the man in front of him.

This ti, he smiles again ’’I am your father,’’ he tells him and my heart races in my chest from those words.

Before I can see more, I feel the push. The send away and with that my eyes open and Gyles has that sa expression on his face. The tears welling up in his eyes. That was a mory. After they killed everyone, they took him to wherever that was. It doesn’t make any sense to

but I rember Gyles telling

that the Brightwood family found him when he was just a baby.

Is that really what happened?

I don’t even know anymore.
