Chapter 76: The bad guys never die easy.
Beau.
As the water hits my skin, I feel the relief I didn’t know I needed. It is been days since I last felt water on my skin. I didn’t know how valuable this mont could ever be until now. The things in life that we take for granted. I have been in the shower for longer than I should. it is so serene, sothing I didn’t even know I needed.
Alanis left
hard and dry, I know he is trying his best to control himself. He doesn’t want to make this about sex. Frustratingly, I still can’t believe I have been unable to have sex with him for so long. This whole mating process has been one long drag. I am getting tired of it all. I want to do this on my own. I want to mate with him so badly.
I hear the door open, my heart stops for a millisecond because I am scared that It could be soone other than him. I don’t need an ambush right now. I am still not strong enough. What if Cassius found ?
My heart races against my chest from just the thought of it. I leave the water running and get out of the shower. Grabbing a towel, I put it around my waist because I need to be prepared. No matter what happens this ti, I have to try.
I stay behind the door. The best thing I can do is a sneak attack. Catch whoever it is off guard. I take a sniff and his scent surrounds . releasing a sigh of relief, I walk out of the room, knowing full well that It is Lanis. He looks up from a duffel bag and smiles at
warmly.
’’I got you so of my clothes.’’
He stretches a shirt out for
and I walk over to him with the towel around my waist. He pulls
into his arms and I take a long sniff, letting his scent fill
in completely. He slls like ho, the ho I long for. the ho I belong to. I don’t want to ever lose that ho.
’’I also brought food.’’
For the first ti, I notice other bags on the table. There are a total of four bags. I can sll the at imdiately. My body reacts to the scent, eager for a taste. I don’t know how he got this but I am grateful. I let go of him and walk over to the table. I notice the one that has the at and grabs that one imdiately. It is so bloody, so enticing. This is exactly what I need, this will make
feel like myself again.
’’Where did you get this from?’’ I ask him intrigued.
He never ceases to amaze .
This is my man.
’’I got it from an abattoir. I had to do a to of convincing,’’ he tells
proudly ’’What are the odds that there would be one so close by,’’ he beams in question.
I shrug beco I am a salivating ss over this. I need to dive in before I lose my mind. he nudges with his head, his way of telling
to dig in. this is the at of a cow, it is still bloody and juicy. All at, no bones. I sit down on the chair in front of the table. note that I am still in a towel but all my attention is on the display in front of
and all Alanis’s attention is all on . I grab a piece of at and it literally feels like heaven to . this is another mont; where I appreciate the little things in my life. food, I never knew a day would co where I wouldn’t be able to hunt but Cassius made that possible. I lost a part of myself because of that man, I promise, I will get it back and I will make sure I kill him.
He will not torture another wolf as long as I live.
I place the at in between my lips and the first bite is heaven. Pure and unfiltered bliss.
Lanis watches
as I devour all the at in the bag and slowly, I feel more energetic. I feel a little another piece of
being put back together. All thanks to the man in front of .
How did I get so lucky?
’’Is it good,’’ he asks
with a little piece of at stuck on the side of my mouth. I try to get it off but he reaches for
and wipes it off for . I grab his hand before he can take it away. There is a ss on my hands but he doesn’t seem to mind as I smudge the bloody ss unto him.
’’Thank you for this.’’
He furrows his brows as I pull him closer ’’You need to stop thanking . I would do everything and a million more in a heartbeat. You are my life, the only reason why I am living.’’
His words are like a comfort to . the best feeling ever is to love and be loved in return. The fact that he has the sa emotions and they drive him closer to , is everything.
’’I will get him,’’ I assure him.
He shakes his head ’’You are not alone. We will do this together. you have to trust . There’s no I. We will fight him together and this ti, we will win.’’
He is the most encouraging person I know. This man is the love of my life. I have never been more grateful to the deities as I am at this mont. I will never take him for granted. I will always be there for him; I hope to live a long life with him. I wish to wake up next to him, I wish to go to bed every night in his arms. I want to be stronger, a better fighter, to protect him. I have a list of things to do, to beco better, better to be proud to call him mine.
I will make sure I am all the things and more for him.
*********************
We get back on the road and it takes another couple of hours to get to his house. All through the drive, there are thoughts roaming in my head. There is no ti to waste, I have to go back ho. Make sure everything is okay with the pack. I have been gone for too long and they must all be so very worried.
I asked Isabelle about it and she has been avoiding giving
an answer. I can tell sothing is wrong from all their expressions on their faces. I don’t want to go too far and think it is sothing serious when it might just
minor, so I have been trying to avoid assumptions that are farfetched.
Eligio parks the car in the driveaway and they all shuffle out of the car one by one. I stay seated and Lanis watches , almost like he knows sothing is up.
’’Are you okay?’’ he probes.
I nod.
Shaking his head ’’I can tell sothing is bothering you. Rember, we promised to communicate?’’
’’Yeah,’’ I admit defeatedly with a loud huff. He waits for
’’No one is saying anything about the pack. Did sothing happen?’’
His eyes dart away from my mine and everything becos clear. There is definitely sothing wrong with the pack.
’’Is rex okay, Jabi, what are you not telling ?’’ I inquire imdiately.
He runs his hands through his hair. This is harder for him that I thought. I need him to tell
what happened and I need to know now. I am still the Alpha. I am the one that was supposed to protect the pack. I wasn’t there but I am here now.
’’Your uncle.’’
The last ti I saw Fallon, he was bleeding beneath
and almost dead. I hope he is about to tell
that he is dead. All the bitter parts of
silently pray that those are the words that are about to co out of his mouth. I know better, I am used to disappointnt, I know things won’t be that easy. He is a bad guy but they are usually the hardest to kill.
Deep down I know he is not dead.
I could wish for that but it will never happen.
’’He took over the pack.’’
His words are earth-shattering. Hear breaking and mind-numbing. I can’t even imagine that they will let him into their hearts knowing full well he killed my father. sothing must be wrong, there is no way. I won’t accept it.
I let go of his hand and get down from the car.
Alanis runs out with
and grabs my hand to stop
from my outburst. I am getting angry, when I am angry, I can’t stop myself. This is
reacting to the fact that the man who killed my father could be accepted by the people I am supposed to call family.
