Chapter 302: Together
Blue.
Once he is out of my sight, I go back in the direction of the dungeon. The only place I should be in right now. Gyles seems to think Rex is sohow inside Levine. I know Rex, I know Levine, but I have to listen to him. he is not listening to
and it seems like there is nothing I can do. There is no way to control him. I get to the cell and she is seated on the floor. Her hands are across her legs. She looks up imdiately she sees n but her expression doesn’t change. The fact that she seems so dazed all the ti, should be a concern. It almost feels like she doesn’t even know what is happening.
Almost like she is not really here.
"Can we talk?’’ I ask.
Her eyes stay on
but she doesn’t answer—it is not like I expected an answer from her. I just wish things would be easier. I just wish my wolf would feel him. I just want all this to end already. I walk back to the guard on duty "I need the key,’’ I tell him calmly. He doesn’t argue with , he just hands
the sole key for her cage. I walk back to the cage and she is still watching .
"I am going to co in, I promise I just want to talk,’’ I tell her. I don’t want to be a threat to her. I just want to figure so things out and this cage seems like a wall. There is this unspoken distance. No matter how much I try to reach out, I can’t get through to her.
I walk into the cell and she doesn’t even respond. Her eyes never waver from
and even though it seems like she is watching , it also seems like she is not really here. Lost in so kind of trance.
"Why did you do it, Levine?’’ I manage, I guess I have to act like I am interested in her motives. If this is really Rex, then eventually, sothing should show. Right now, she just looks like a dazed Levine.
He is entrapped.
Gyles’s voice cos into my head. Thinking about the way he knew; I find it really hard to believe that the book would just give him the information so freely. There is always a price to pay. He just gave in so easily because of his desperation.
Isn’t that what you were going to do?
My wolf asks
calmly. Yes, I was going to use the book. It was going to be my last resort. Maybe that makes
a hypocrite but I didn’t and Gyles did.
He said he didn’t.
I don’t know whose side my wolf is on.
"You have to talk to . I can’t help you if you won’t give
a chance,’’ I am at a far end of the cage, but close enough to see her and her expressions. It doesn’t seem like she wants to even talk to .
’She was your sister,’’ I continue. I don’t know what I am doing. maybe I am stalling. There is supposed to be a feeling. I am waiting for that hit. The one that Gyles ntioned. Right now, I don’t feel anything.
"You have to talk to . I cant help you if you don’t,’’ I repeat those words again. I want her to think that I want to help. I don’t care about Levine and the fact that she killed my mother just makes her my enemy. I don’t know what kind of person my mother was. All I know is, the mont, she ended her life, she beca my enemy.
If this is Rex, then he is the one that killed her.
My wolf reminds .
This is all confusing. Rex was the one that attacked her the first ti and now there is a probability that he did it again. he will never forgive himself if he finds out that he is responsible for her death.
"Help ?’’ she finally speaks up. her voice is low and shaking. She sounds different but also the sa. I can’t really explain it but in that split second, I start to think that maybe Gyles was right. There is no way she would be so dazed.
"Yes, Levine. I want to help you,’’ I manage with that lie. I don’t know if she believes
but a sigh escapes her lips.
"I don’t know what is happening,’’ he cries, for the first ti, I see the fear in her eyes. She is being sincere.
"Help ,’’ she repeats, this ti, not as a question. I go on my knees and she watches
quietly. I don’t know what I am doing but slowly, I stretch my hands out and reach for her face. I just want to know. I need to know. I touch her face and her eyes close imdiately. this should feel wrong but for the first ti, it feels completely right. I haven’t had this form of closure since I ca back to the coven. I have never been surer about anything as I am at this mont. The electricity that only cos from touching him. the certainty as my heart races a mile a minute.
"Rex,’’ I breathe out, it feels like I have been running a marathon and I have finally reached the finish line. His eyes flash open and recognition flashes in his pupils. For a second, it feels like he knows it’s . for a second, he rembers but it is gone so fast that I can’t even dwell on it. he turns away from
and I get up from the floor and walk to the exit of the cage.
Everything becos clear suddenly. She wants him to suffer for her cris. In this scenario, he is the scapegoat. The one that would be executed in her stead. I will not let that happen. There is no way in hell. Before I leave, I face her and she watches
"I will get you out of this Rex, I promise."
Going back to my room, Gyles is on the bed but he seems to be spaced out. He doesn’t notice
as I walk in front of him. I get on my knees in front of him and press my lips to his imdiately. This gets him out of his trance.
"What was that for?’’ he asks confused. The last conversation we had wasn’t the greatest but I am grateful for him. I am grateful for all the things he has done. His stubbornness might have caused a lot of damage but he has also helped.
"We need to figure out a way to get him out of whatever he is into...." I pause and he waits for
to continue "Together Gyles. We have to do this together.’’
We need to start acting like mates. I need to trust him more and I need him to trust
too. Maybe this is our way to get closer and understand each other.
