The Werewolf's Vampire Mate Chapter 265: The thin line between life and death

Gyles.

I open my eyes to bright light.

I rember everything that happened last night. Rex stabbed , he didn’t look like he had a care in the world. The person that I saw wasn’t the man I knew. There was sothing wrong with him and I couldn’t stop him. I don’t know what he did but I am thankful that I am living to see another day.

I look around and I am not in Blue’s room. I can already imagine how worried he must have been, seeing . I don’t even want to think about the pain he must have gone through.

I don’t want to think about anything. I don’t want to play the bla ga right now but this is all my fault. I am fucking stubborn and I think about myself and now Rex is in trouble. He has probably done so damage that I am not even aware of. I get up from the bed and my shirt is off. I see it on the floor, the blood all over it. This room is plain, there is just a bed and a little chair in the corner. The walls are white and blinding. I want to look for Blue. I leave the shirt on the floor and walk to the door, opening it in a hurry.

I expected to see the halls. The one where I stopped Rex but all I see is an empty space and bright blinding lights. The walls are as white as the room but it doesn’t look like this is real.

Because it is not real.

My wolf tells . I close my eyes because this ans I am not awake. This ans the knife must have done more damage to than I expected.

Shit.

I shouldn’t be sleeping right now.

Blue needs right now. I need to make sure everything is okay. I will not just stay asleep for another hundred years. I run down the bright light, maybe if I keep running, I will get out of here. I keep running but nothing happens. I don’t know how long I run for, I don’t know where I think I am running to but after a point, I give up and sit on the floor. It is cold and for the first ti since I woke up, I feel completely alone. I have had Blue and Rex all this while and I have gotten used to them. A world where we are not together doesn’t exist.

A tear falls to my brown shorts. I wipe my eyes because this is not the ti to cry. I need to be strong. I told Blue that I was going to make it up to him but here I am. All alone in this world unable to go back to them.

"Gyles,’’ I hear the voice and I recognize it imdiately.

I get up to my feet imdiately, my eyes wide from the figure in front of . There is a smile on his face. I see the joy in his eyes. This is the last person I want to see. There is so much unresolved anger inside with him. I have been trying to make myself hate him for the things he did to but no matter how many tis I said those words in my head—I just couldn’t hate him.

"Roger,’’ I call his na out and I feel the ache in my chest. I turn away from him imdiately because I don’t have anything to say to him. I don’t want to get involved with him anymore. I am happy with Blue and Rex. Things are going smoothly, I am trying to make it work with them. I don’t want him here reminding of all the things that we had. The things that we could have had if he didn’t ruin it all with his hate.

Unlike the last ti I saw him, he is young. He is the boy I rember. The one I loved with my whole heart. Why is this happening right now? Have I missed him so much that I am now dreaming about him?

"Gyles,’’ he calls my na again. I close my eyes because I want to wake up from this dream. I want to go back to the people that matter to . I hear his footsteps and he walks closer to . "Gyles, look at ,’’ he breathes out.

My heart is throbbing right now. All the feelings I have for him are trying to crawl back. The mories I shared with him. I don’t see the point of this. "Please look at ,’’ he begs.

I let out a sigh of frustration and open my eyes slowly. I don’t know what he has to say but all I care about are the two guys that I left behind. Roger is my past. The darkness that he left is imnse and sothing I want to let go of.

Let go of it then.

My wolf is the only companion that I have. He is the only one that is with right now. How do I let go of all the anger inside ? Rembering all the things he did. I hate him even more.

"I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want this to be real.’’ I seethe out angrily.

He smiles "You brought here, so you must have so things to say to .’’

I shake my head because that can’t be true. There is no way in hell I did this on my own. This must be so sick ga he is playing. He is trying to manipulate .

I won’t let him win.

"I would never bring you to my head. After all the things you did. You have so fucking nerve,’’ I yell very loudly. The sound of my voice echoes back to .

"I know. I know I am the monster in your story. I know everything and this is not in your head. This is real." He tells .

Why is he the boy I rember? Why isn’t he the man that I have co to hate? The one that hurt all those people. The one that is called Cassius.

"This is not real. You are not real,’’ I tell him because it is better to deny than be honest. I will not accept this because he is the last person that I want to be talking to. I need to wake up and make sure Rex and Blue are okay.

There has to be a way out of here.

"There is a thin line between life and death. Right now, you are in the middle of that line."

I furrow my brows in confusion, unsure of what he is saying. "Why are you young? This isn’t how you died." I ask him.

"Because this is who you wanted to see. The boy that ant the world to you, not the monster that I beca."

I hate that even with my heart belonging to Blue and Rex, I still think about Roger. I wonder about the life we could have had if things were different. Things would have been happier and easier but there is no ti to dwell on the what-ifs.

"Why would I want to see you? I am happy, I have moved on. I have two beautiful people out there that will give the world if I asked."

He nods "I know that. I am in my own hell. Your happiness is my own hell.’’

I frown, so he wants to be sad? Does he want to be like him? Does he want to beco the monster that he was and finish off what he started?

"That is not what I want. Your happiness is also my heaven.’’ He breathes out confusing the more. I let out a soft breath because I want to get out of here and it seems like I wouldn’t wake up so easily.

"Why am I here?’’ I ask him again, this is my way of telling him to just get to the point. Let know what I need to do to leave.

He smiles "You are the only one that knows. Look inside you and find out why out of all the people you could have called, you called ."

This is so bullshit but I also know that I will have to face this, no matter what.

Here we go.
