The Werewolf's Chapter 86: Everything is not what it seems

Chapter 86: Everything is not what it seems.

Beau.

The vampires that Eligio and Bells brought are chained in one of the empty houses in the community. They have been unconscious for quite a while and El explained that they are in a sleep state, apparently, they were hurt a lot. I watch them with so much anger within . these are the people that attacked my family. These are the people that want us all dead.

They are all monsters.

"You should get so rest. We will deal with this and everything else in the morning. You have been through so much already," Lanis walks over to

but my eyes remain fixed on them.

I can’t sleep, I need to know anything that could help

in getting rid of Cassius. These people work for him, they would have sothing that can be useful. I will take anything right now. Jules will be coming tomorrow and I need to have my story straight. I don’t want him to think I don’t know what I am doing. Even if I am not a good leader, I have to at least act like one.

Everything that has happened has shot down my confidence level. I don’t know anything anymore. The one thing I know is that there is no fucking ti to rest. How can I rest when people are dead?

"You can go ahead. I need them to wake up."

He shakes his head. I am being stubborn but I actually can’t sleep. My head is a hazy fog. Too many things are running through my mind. how can I sleep when Cassius could show up in the middle of the night? He could do the sa things the wolves did to him. they killed his family while they were asleep. What if he does that? How will I protect everyone?

"I am not leaving you."

I knew he was going to say that. I am glad that I have him, I doubt I would have been able to handle all this without him. Fuck, Lanis is the only constant in my life. He is the only one that I can truly count on. Everyone else could waver, he is the only one I am a hundred per cent sure of.

I hear a groan from one of the vampires which makes

move closer to them. There is blood on his shirt, his jeans are stained with dirt. His hair is a rumpled ss. This is the one that Bells caught. I am so glad she did all this to him. now all he needs is death but after I get everything I can from them. He opens his eyes suddenly and I see the fear in them. He tries to get the chains off him but there is no way he will be successful. They are coated in the purest and finest silvers. There are already burns on their wrists just from touching upon their skin. The imnse pain is evident on his face "Let

go," he cries.

This is the bastard that killed my people. Here he is, grovelling now that he is not in control anymore.

Eligio is outside with Darrien, who showed up like thirty minutes ago. He found Jabi. I was so worried about the kid but I am glad he is okay now.

I don’t want to lose anyone again. This thing with Cassius has to end. I can’t handle all this uncertainty and loss.

"Why did you co here today?’’ I ask him because I want to know what is running through his mind.

He is against my kind. He is working with Cassius, even though there is a contention. The agreent doesn’t an shit to him and the others. There must be a reason.

"I had no choice. We all have no choice."

What does he an by he had no choice? Everyone has a fucking choice. He chose to co into my ho and kill my family. Now he is spitting bullshit about now having a fucking choice. I move closer to him because talking to him like he is human will not get

what I want. He is a monster; a fucking animal and he needs to be treated like one.

I grab him by the collar of his shirt, he doesn’t flinch. Maybe he is suddenly trying to act tough. I am going to kill him, no matter what he tells

tonight. I will not spare him his life. he didn’t spare the people he killed.

He doesn’t deserve rcy.

"Why did you co here and kill my family?’’ I ask him again, still holding him as tight as I can.

He darts his eyes away from , his breath heavy. I can see the pain that he is trying to hide. The silver is doing the trick. He will burn so bad that by tomorrow he will be unrecognisable "You might as well kill . I am already dead either way."

I let go of his collar with one of my hands still holding him with the other and raise my fist up, hitting him square in the jaw. He winces this ti from the pain, his eyes closing. No words leave his lips, he doesn’t want to cooperate with .

"What do you an?’’ Lanis asks him.

I look at my mate and he is watching him with a very intense stare. The vampire opens his eyes and looks at him with this blank stare. He doesn’t answer his question. Lanis communicates with

through a link.

I need to talk to you outside.

He walks out of the room and I follow him up the stairs till we are away from them.

’’What is it?’’

He sighs and I watch him run his hands through his hair ’’They aren’t going to tell you anything. I read their mind.’’

I raise a brow ’’And?’’

’’They are not completely bad. At least the one that is awake. Cassius has his link hostage. He has a lot of their links hostage. That is why they are doing this, even though there is a contention.’’

His words have

fucking enraged. I don’t know what to think now. This man—Cassius is not only hurting the wolves. He has created an army with a group of vampires against their wills. How is that even fair?

Can I fault them for doing this now?

How can I bla them for killing all the people they have killed when I know I would do the sa if that happened to Alanis?

’’Look baby, this thing is not that black and white. The only person that is accountable for all that is happening is Cassius. He is the one that needs to be killed.’’ Alanis tells .

He is right.

But how do you kill soone that is so hard to find?

’’I don’t know what to do anymore. I am fucking exhausted.’’ This is

breaking down. Alanis has seen

through my worst. I have nothing to be ashad of. He is the only one that has seen

through everything.

’’I understand. I am here with you.’’ He reaches for

and I stay in his arms. The tears that I have been fighting off, start to fall out of my control. I cry in his arms for god knows how long. I can’t even hold myself together.

After a while, he pulls back from

and wipes the tears from my face. I grab his hand in mine. ’’What do I do now?’’ I need his guidance. I can’t do this on my own.

’’It is late, I don’t think there is anything we can do right now, you said you called soone, your uncle. Let us wait till the morning when he cos.’’

I nod.

’’What about them?’’ I point towards the door.

’’When you have cald down, we will talk to them again. Maybe then we can get so information from them. You just need a breather. Can you get a breather?’’

He is asking ?

’’What if Cassius cos back?’’ I ask him terrified.

’’I will stand guard, Eligio and Darrien will be with . All night if we have to.’’ He has thought about this.

’’I can’t ask you too—’’ he cuts

off ’’You didn’t ask . I want to do this. vampires don’t need sleep. You get all the sleep you can. You need to be strong for everything that is to co.’’

How did I get so lucky?

He leads

to my room and wraps the covers around . I watch him as he sits down on the edge of my bed. His eyes are heavy with worry. I don’t like doing this to him, I don’t like everything that is happening?

He caresses my hair in an attempt to help

fall asleep ’’This is the part where you close your eyes.????’

I chuckle for the first ti today; fuck this is the first ti I have even felt remotely relaxed. ’’Can you lie down next to ?’’

He nods and shifts the duvet until he is under the covers, his arms engulf

completely and I feel even more relaxed. His hand continues playing with my hair.

’’I love you.’’ He whispers into my ear.

Slowly my eyes close and I drift off with only thoughts of him. completely forgetting everything else.
