The Werewolf's Chapter 578: A feeling of worth

Chapter 578: A feeling of worth

Rex

"I can hear him," I exclaim in excitent. Blue stops walking the minute I react and his eyes remain fixed on . My heart flutters like a stupidly delighted bird and I quickly look around to see if there is anyone else nearby. "How do you hear him?" Blue asks

curiously.

I don’t want to get my hopes up but there is just this feeling of affirmations inside . It is almost like I am so sure about it.

So I say "I can hear him in my head."

"But how do you know it’s him?" Blue asks.

"It just is. I can feel it... I think" I reply.

"You think you can feel him?" Blue asks with a dubious look on his face. "Uh yeah, I think so. I can feel it. I think it is him."

I can see the hesitation in his eyes but the next ti I hear his voice call out my na, I pull the book closer to . I feel the sounds that emanate from it and suddenly, it all makes sense.

He is inside the fucking book.

"Blue, co and see this,’’ I call him out instantly as I pull him closer to . He walks over with no hesitation. I don’t know what I am looking at. I don’t even know if this is the book playing tricks on .

I an at the end of the day, it is the book of evil. So it might just be ssing with

but this is the only progress I have gotten on finding Gyles.

"What am I looking at?" he asks

calmly as he furrows his brows in confusion.

"It’s him. It’s Gyles... I know it is." I say. Blue just stares at it for a second before he looks at

in confusion. "What are you talking about? It’s just a book." "It isn’t just a book. I can hear him. I can feel him. I am in deep with the book," I exclaim in excitent.

In his eyes, I look like I have finally lost my mind. There is a picture. The picture says it all if you pay attention. Right now, I am connected to the picture and what it entails.

"He is inside the book. He has been here all along. Can’t you feel him?’’ I look up to my mate with the hopes that he sees what I see. His eyes stay glued to the picture. It is nothing obvious. Just a group of people in a white space but I see him in that crowd.

Blue is paying attention to the picture. I know he wants to see what I see but it is difficult for him.

Sohow he can’t see it.

"The book is ssing with you, trying to draw you into its orbit. How and why would this just appear suddenly?’’

He is overthinking things now.

I need him to just open his mind to all that is happening.

"He called out to

if the spirits are in the book, why can’t he?’’ I want to reason with him.

I just need him to listen to . I can feel his heart beating in his chest. He is listening to

but he just can’t see what I see.

"I was so sure about it. But I guess I was wrong," I say to him sadly. I feel like a failure and it is a horrible feeling that is sinking in slowly.

"He is trapped in the book, Blue. Can’t you see it? He is in there. I can feel him."

"Just co on, I will figure this out,’’ he assures

and I believe him. I believe his words because I trust him.

We enter the shed with his eyes still fixed on . Darrien is seated on a chair by a fireplace in the enclosed space. The room is dusty and very uncomfortable but that is not the point. We aren’t supposed to be comfortable.

"Are we really going to stay here all night? I didn’t sign up for this shit,’’ he exclaims in disarray.

"I just need to figure out if he is actually in the book, once I locate Gyles, we will go back and look for Analise. I need all this shit to end."

I watch him as he sits down on the ssy floor and opens up the book. "There are so many ways to ask for things from this book. Trust

when I say this, the book will always want to help. The more it helps, the more you are indebted to it."

"What does that even an?" I ask him calmly.

"There is an invisible string attached to this book. One that will forever be tethered. The problem with using this kind of magic is what it does to you. I don’t want it to affect

negatively."

I feel his plight but we have no choice right now. Gyles is already deep inside the book--literally. We have to fix that.

I watch him as he flips through the pages.

I watch him with a serious expression on his face. I know what he needs to do. All he needs to do is listen.

Gyles, can you hear ?

I call out to him with all the desperation that is swimming e through . My heart is racing as I wait in the silence for a response that I know will co.

Co closer.

His voice echoes into my soul. I can feel his intensity through our connection. I can feel his need to be with

even though he is not physically here. I know it is him.

I can feel it in my soul.

I shift closer to Blue, who is still reading the book with so much seriousness. It seems like there is a bold arrow pointing to him, telling

that he is here. Telling

that I need to get to him.

I feel a shadow of movent on the ground, sothing is moving.

"Close it,’’ I echo in the silence of the night.

Blue looks up at

as I repeat "Close the book and look at it,’’ I urge him desperately.

He obeys

and I shift behind him "Look, see, I told you,’’ I exclaim in excitent. Maybe from all the years of

feeling useless. Maybe all the tis I had hated myself.

I want to help.

Maybe I can finally help.
