Chapter 549: Good lies
Blue
I drive until I get to the main house.
It is the sa as it has always been. Yeah, I don’t know what I was expecting, it is not like it has been years since I was last here. The place couldn’t have changed that badly.
Badger said I should co to him and I don’t know why I am here. Like all my mind just lets out all its resolve. He is my mother, which just ans that he has taken over her life.
I can’t help but give it to her.
She did this all so well, I would have never known. No one would have found out if it wasn’t for the book.
I park my car in the parking lot and I see him in front of the entrance door of the house. There is a light on over his head so I can see the smile on his face clearly.
I watch him for a couple of seconds as he waits for
to co outside. I know I should go out and et him. This is all so weird to , I am looking at Badger, my mother’s best friend but I know that he is not the one. He died a while ago and no one even knew. He was never mourned.
This is all bullshit and now I have to pretend like I don’t know anything. That is the only way I would be welcod here.
After a couple of seconds and the staring contest, I get that from the car and walk over to the house.
Badger takes a step forward and I see him clearly "Why are you here?’’ he asks imdiately.
To kill you.
I keep that in my mind as I manage a smile "I want to co back ho.’’
That is a lie. This place will never be a ho to
but I need him to think that. I need him to believe this lie because I need to co back and fix things. I need to eliminate her once and for all.
"At twelve in the night, why does it look so suspicious?’’
He keeps asking
questions, almost like he knows sothing that I don’t. "I am tired of running away. I am tired of denying who I am. I thought for my mothers’ sake, you would give
another chance.’’
He raises a brow.
I look into his eyes, in search of a sign. Anything that will show
who he really is but just like the magic she used, I can’t sense anything. My willed sense is not working. Which just fuels the insecurities inside . The one where I think that I am not good enough. My magic is not strong enough.
"Where are your so-called mates? Why are they not here with you?"
He is saying all the wonders in his mind out loud. I try to keep my poker face. I need him to believe .
"They are with , I thought I could make this a ho for the three of us."
Lies, lies, lies.
"I am the new chief, I am sure you already know that."
I nod.
I raise my hands up in the air "I am not here to take over. I just want to co back ho.’’
He laughs "You know you have never considered this place your ho, so who are you lying to right now."
I "I am not lying to you, I just want to co back to my ho." He turns his head to one side as he looks at . I look back at him. This just makes
confirm all my suspicions. My mother was the only one that knew how much I hated this place. She never wanted anyone to know.
This was a thing of pride.
Her only son, hating magic and everything that ca with it.
"Things have changed.’’
He looks up at
and his gaze is strong and intense, almost like he is looking into my soul.
"Sothing about you is different. You sll more like a wolf. Why is it so strong?’’
I don’t want to tell her that I completed my mating ritual. That I am tethered to the Lycan world but I also don’t want to keep it from her. I want her to think that I am honest and really back.
"I have always been a wolf, you’ve always known."
"Am I supposed to believe all this, do you think I am that stupid.’’
I take a deep breath, I am not winning this conversation. She is on to
and I have to find a way out of this hole that I have dug for myself.
’I have no reason to lie to you. I am back because this is the place that I belong. I tried staying with my mates in a pack but couldn’t be , I didn’t belong there. I want to learn my potential, my magic and this is the only place that I know how to.’’
He is watching
as confess to my lies. There is an elent of truth in what I am saying. I do want to perfect my magic, I do want to be a better warlock but this coven will never be ho to .
Not in a million years.
"Are you telling
that you deserted your pack with your mates?’’
I nod.
Another lie.
I am on a fucking roll tonight.
A slow smile spreads on his face. The kind of evil smile that makes my skin crawls. There is pleasure in his eyes from my words. I am sick to my stomach right now but I have to act like I am not. I have to stay strong for Gyles. I need to do this so that we can be free.
"Why don’t you co inside, and we can talk more on this son.’’
I freeze at his words.
Son.
Badger has called
that before. So many tis but now I can’t help but see her face.
I can’t help but be scared at this mont.
