The Werewolf's Chapter 28: Rex’s suspicions

Chapter 28: Rex’s suspicions

Alanis.

I pace around the room as the nerves kick in. This was a bad idea; I don’t know what is happening out there and I am scared. I have never been this scared in all my life.

There is a knock on the door.

"Shit."

I walk to the end of the door and hold the knob; Beau didn’t ntion that anyone was coming. I open the door slowly and a face peer up at

earnestly. I know him; he is Beau’s friend. Rex.

"Hey," he smiles through the door. I let go of the wooden door handle and he walks into the room slowly "Beau asked

to stay with you."

So, he is worried too?

"What’s going on out there?" I ask because I am fucking curious. This is a defining mont for our relationship. The fact that he brought

here, ans that he is ready to be with

wholeheartedly. I have been ready since the mont I t him.

"His uncle is trying to turn everyone against him," he brushes it off like it is not a big deal. I know Beau is strong, he is the strongest person I have ever t but will he be able to handle a group of angry wolves?

"Why?"

Rex shrugs and walks over to the bed; he sits on it gently and looks at

"I don’t even understand their relationship. You gotta keep this a secret but I actually think Fallon was the one that killed his father."

My eyes open wide from his words "What?"

He stands up and rushes to

"Look, I don’t have the courage to ntion this to Beau but when we got to the Graveyard, Fallon’s scent was lingering everywhere, so that ans he was there."

Shit.

This is a lot.

"He needs to know."

He nods "I know, but he would freak out. Beau isn’t very subtle with his reactions. He would kill him without getting any proof and there is none right now, I don’t think it is a good idea to tell him yet." "I can’t keep this from him," I say instantly.

A terrified expression forms on his face "Please, just give

so ti. I will tell him myself. I just want the funeral preparations to be done. He needs to focus on that," the door to the room opens before I can give Rex an answer. Beau looks at us and his expression is curious.

"Hi," I walk over to him and grab his hand in my grip. He smiles kisses

softly not even caring that soone else is in the room "I need you to co with ," he tells .

I frown "What’s going on?"

He looks around the room until his eyes stop on his best friend "You can leave now Rex."

Rex walks out of the room giving

one last glance, he is using his eyes to plead with

but I don’t know if I can actually do what he wants. Just looking at Beau makes

want to be honest with him. If Rex says after the funeral then I will wait till after the funeral.

"I told them; they want to see you?"

I take a deep breath "Everyone?" I ask because this seems suspicious. If he told them everything then that will an there were issues because there is no way they all just accepted it and now suddenly want to see .

"Yes, they were having a fucking eting without ; can you imagine? I walked in on my uncle talking about a fucking war with your kind."

Okay, he is telling

what happened but I don’t hear the part about him talking about finding his mate "How do I co into this?"

He sighs and runs his hands through his hair "Thye ntioned that I am not strong enough to be the next alpha because I don’t have my mate. I told them that I do."

"Okay, so they know that I am a Vampire?"

He shakes his head, his eyes dart away from

"You want

to walk into that eting and expose myself, without any warning whatsoever?"

He nods "Just listen. I caved okay. They were all looking at , with taunting eyes. I need you next to

when I explain this to them," his words make no sense but I can understand his fear.

I don’t think it is a good idea to have

with him when he breaks it to them but I can’t tell him that; I have to be the support system he craves so desperately. He needs

and I will not let him down.

"Okay," I breathe out.

He manages a faint smile and we walk side by side. This seems straight out of a movie. The hallways that lead to the supposed eting room seems never-ending. I just want to go back ho at this mont. I don’t belong here and I don’t think the people of this community will think otherwise.

"Wait." I stop walking and he looks at

almost like he was expecting this panic. I shake my head continuously because this is

panicking "I don’t think this is a good idea," we are in front of a large door, there are voices on the other side of the door.

"Babe," he whines.

I let go of his hand "This doesn’t make any sense, we can’t ambush everyone like this, this is all my fault for putting this into your head," I am trying to rationalise with him. He needs to think this through before we face the consequences of this coming out party.

"I know, but we need to do this, I need you with ."

"I can’t."

He sighs and runs his hands through his hair "I need you Lanis, I am not strong enough to do this on my own," he grabs both of my hands in his and squeezes it encouragingly. His eyes are pleading. I am so engrossed in our conversation that we don’t hear the creak of the door.

"Oh, isn’t this peachy." I look at the voice and a man is watching with an evil smirk on his face. I don’t know who this is but I already know that he will be the cause of all our problems.
