Chapter 286: The silent spell
Blue.
I lead Gyles out of the room and he is crying. I don’t know what happened while I was gone but the more I witness the sadness, the more sure I am of going with Mage.
"What happened?’’ I ask him as I lead him into one of the empty living rooms in the house. He sits down on the couch gently and I wipe the tears off his face.
"Promise you wouldn’t be upset with ,’’ he stutters and I already know that he has done sothing. Gyles is the kind of person that makes decisions without consulting other people involved. I already know not to expect too much from him. That is just who he is and I love him despite it all. I just need to keep him in check. Make sure that he doesn’t do more damage than we are already in. I don’t know what he has done now but seeing that Rex was in the room asleep is okay for . As long as nothing happens to the two of them—I am happy.
"What did you do?’’ I ask him.
He looks away from . I grab him by his chin until his eyes are back on mine "Don’t hide from . Talk to .’’ I tell him.
He takes a deep breath as I caress his face softly. I want him to always be able to talk to . I want him to always know that he can trust . No matter what happens. I will always be on his side. After this whole thing is sorted out. I am going to take them back to the community and we are going to complete the mating ritual. I will make sure the bond is complete.
All the hesitation from the past is gone. All the longing and hoping does not exist anymore. This thing started with uncertainty but Gyles is not the sa person he was. There is no one that is more ready than him.
He closes his eyes for a second and then they are back open. He is watching
with this intensity that makes my heartache. I feel his pain. I know when he is hurting and right now, sothing happened to him.
"I tried to compel him," he speaks up and I watch him as I wait for him to explain. His silence is eerie.
So I ask "What do you an by compelling him?’’
He sighs "Rex. I thought I could get him to rember with compulsion—my ability. I saw it in his eyes. I could swear he rembered everything."
I open my eyes wide shocked that he was even able to do that. I didn’t know he had that in him. There is a lot about Gyles that I don’t know. He is stronger than he makes himself to be. He has so much power in him. I want to explore every bit of him.
"What happened?’’
"He knows what happened but he is keeping it from . He doesn’t want to tell ," he covers his face with his hands. I reach for him and pull his hands off wanting him to look at . His eyes et mine as I manage a faint smile. Just my way of being encouraging. I need him to calm down and just give
a couple of days to sort this out.
"Hey, it’s okay.’’ I try to assure him even though I am not even sure about this. I might be walking into my demise. Whatever I have agreed to do might just co and bite
in the ass. I might just end up at a loss for this decision but I will do it again in a heartbeat if it ans that I will end up protecting the ones I love.
"It’s not okay. He is hurting. I am the one that caused all this,’’ he rambles.
I glare at him because I have told him not to bla himself for this. He might think that he is the one that caused this because he brought him here but whoever did this, because of . It has nothing to do with him.
"This is not your fault. This was never your fault. Just let
handle this.’’
He furrows a brow "How are you going to handle this? What are you going to do?’’
I can’t answer him because I don’t know yet "Do you trust ?’’
He nods.
I cup his face in my palm and he closes his eyes "Trust
when I say I will make sure that nothing happens to the two of you. I love you more than anything on this earth. I will do anything to make sure that you don’t hurt. So give
ti and I will make sure this is over.’’
He opens his eyes slowly as I lean closer until my lips are on him. A soft gasp escapes his lips as I feel the warmth from his touch. I deepen the kiss and push him against the couch. Maybe this is selfish of , wanting to feel anything in this mont. Rex is so far gone that I don’t know how much more of this I can take but Gyles is still here. He needs
right now and I need him. I have to show him how much he ans to . His back hits the soft couch as I lean into him, pressing my body to his. He moans in my mouth as my tongue slips into his mouth in a slow but sensual caress.
"Please don’t leave ,’’ he breathes out in between kisses.
He is afraid right now and his fears are valid. I am so scared and this is the weaker part of
wanting to feel more of him. I grind into him and he winces. This makes
pull away from him abruptly.
"Are you okay?’’ I ask him.
He closes his eyes and I watch him as he rubs his stomach "I just hit the door,’’ he dismisses it but I am quick to reach for him. I raise his shirt up and there is a big bruise there.
"Why aren’t you healing?’’ I ask him.
He shrugs "I am just hungry. Maybe."
I haven’t even thought about him for the past two days. He is starving and I didn’t even think to take care of him.
"Fuck,’’ I run my hands through my hair. "You need blood,’’ I add.
He smiles "Kind of but I can handle a couple of days without it." he brushes it off like it is not a big deal. I take a deep breath because I know I have to get for him. he might act like he is okay but I see right through him and I know that he isn’t.
"I am going out, I will get so for you,’’ I tell him as my fingers trail on the bruise. It is a reddish-purple shade. I can feel him healing but he isn’t healing fast enough. He must be in a lot of pain right now and he is hiding it from .
"Where are you going to?’’
"I found soone that might be able to help us."
He nods "How long are you going to be gone for?’’ he has this expression on his face that breaks my heart. My hand is still on his stomach, so I lean forward and plant a soft kiss on the bruise. He closes his eyes as a soft moan escapes his lips.
"A couple of hours at most."
I don’t know how long I will be gone for and I don’t know what is going to happen but all I have is determination and I will do my best to co back to them. I will do my best to protect them so that we can have the happy ending we deserve.
"Can you try and talk to him before you leave? Maybe he will tell you what he knows.’’
I nod and I go back to my room. He shuffles in the bed and I smile because now I know he is pretending to be asleep. "Hey,’’ I manage as I walk over to him.
He sits up from the bed as I walk over to him "How are you doing?’’
"I didn’t an to hit him,’’ he blurts out.
I furrow my brows as I stop in front of the bed "Hit who?’’
"Gyles. I hurt him.’’
I sit down on the edge of the bed and he watches
as he regrets telling . So he is the one that gave him the bruise "What are you feeling right now?’’
"Alone, confused, scared.’’ He tells
with honesty.
I don’t know what is going on in his head "Gyles said you rember who did it. Can you tell
what you rember?’’
He looks away from
"I want to but the words won’t co out.’’ he breathes out. I know what that ans. Whoever did this to him must have put a silent spell on him in case he gets his mory back.
Fucking hell.
