The Werewolf's Vampire Mate Chapter 376: Suspicion mixed with anger

Alanis

"He just went out without a word. I should be upset, right?’’ I whine into the phone. Gyles laughs into the speaker, almost like my nagging is funny. It is almost midnight and he isn’t ho yet. I have tried calling him and he is not even answering.

Beau used to be really irresponsible but he has changed. He is not the sa immature boy that I t, he wouldn’t just disappear and not even tell .

"Do you think I am overreacting?’’

"No, I don’t. you have every right to be upset but I just feel like you are so used to being by his side all the ti and maybe this is a good thing."

I frown. "No way, I don’t have a problem with him going out. I just wish he told about it before he decided to."

"True. I think you should just wait a bit. If he doesn’t co ho tonight, then you can start worrying.’’ He tells .

I take a deep breath because my emotions are heightened. I don’t want to think too much and then make a big deal out of this but I also wish he would just answer my fucking phone.

"Enough of my ranting. What is going on with you? you said the voices are still in your head?’’

"Yeah. I thought leaving the coven would stop it but they haven’t stopped. I don’t know what to do.’’

I sigh because a lot has been happening with Gyles. I don’t know anything about magic. I haven’t even t any witches in my life. For a vampire, I have lived a sheltered life—thanks to my father. Gyles is going through sothing and the only person that can help him is blue. Blue is the only warlock I know and he needs to step up and save his man.

"The voices don’t seem harmful. I haven’t told anyone but it seems like soone is trying to pass across a ssage."

"Why haven’t you told Blue this?’’

He exhales "I don’t want him to think that I am suddenly evil because I feel this way. he keeps saying the book is evil. He didn’t even want to use it to find Rex. if he thinks that I want to communicate with the voices, he would be pissed with ."

"You know you can’t keep how you feel from him. Secrets only make things worse.’’

"This is not a secret. I just ssing things up and I am tired of being the problem." He sounds like this has been beating him up for a while. I don’t know if he is at that point in his relationship but things are not going to get better if he keeps walking on eggshells. He needs to be comfortable with his mates. He needs to tell them how he feels and right now, he is not doing that.

"I know how you feel. Trust , I know how it feels wanting to protect the ones you love but the second you keep sothing from them, it will build up and your relationship would beco a lie. You need to tell them the truth, even if you think it will hurt. The longer you keep things, the more it will hurt."

"You think I should tell him?’’

He wants to convince him not to but I am pro being open. I will never support keeping things from the ones I love. I believe in complete transparency. When I first started dating Beau, I thought keeping things from him would protect him but now I know that solving problems together only makes us stronger.

"I think you should talk to both of them. don’t shoulder this on your own."

He sighs into the phone "We were supposed to return today. This whole thing just sidetracked everything.’’

I nod because I have missed him and talking to Gyles in person is better than on the phone. He is soone that I really get along with. Soone that will be a good friend in the future "Sort all the shit you have first. Don’t rush to co without tying up loose ends.’’

"Yeah, Beau called Rex earlier. They were being very secretive, didn’t want to hear their conversation.’’

I sit up on the bed, my eyes find their way to the clock on the bed. it is already twelve-thirty. I am getting upset with him. I don’t like this one bit.

"I don’t care anymore. he is fucking getting on my nerves right now,’’ I pull the phone out of my ear and check to see if there are any calls from him "if he would just call back, I wouldn’t worry so much." I cry into the phone.

"Maybe go and ask Justin. He might know where they went if you are that worried." Gyles suggests. I sigh loudly because he is right. I can’t sleep without knowing where the fuck he is.

"Okay, I will text you to know what’s up,’’ I end the call and walk out of the room, dressed in one of his shirts and a pair of my shorts. my slippers rub the floor as I walk out of the house and to the direction of Bell’s house.

I knock on the door; I hear footsteps and then Justin opens the door sleepily. He furrows a brow in confusion before he opens his eyes wide, probably from recognition. "Alanis, you’re at my door.’’

I smile "hi Justin. Have you been able to get through to Isabelle?"

He nods imdiately "They aren’t coming ho tonight,’’ he answers imdiately, almost like he had the information. The anger within boils even more. What the fuck is Beau doing? Why would he not tell ?

"Did she tell you that?’’

He nods again "Yeah. they went out, usually ends up with them too drunk to drive. She said they were getting a hotel close to the club."

"He didn’t talk to about this,’’ I confide in him because I want to find a way of controlling my anger, and talking to soone is the only way I can do that.

"Oh. That’s surprising. I thought you would know. They do this all the ti. everything with Cassius just put their outings on hold." He shrugs and scratches the back of his neck nervously. I can tell he is hiding sothing.

My anger is clouding my mind right now. I push for his mind but he is blocking out. maybe he is controlling what he thinks.

"Thanks, I’ll try calling him again,’’ I tell him as I take a step away from the door. He smiles a little too widely. Almost like he is glad I am leaving.

"Okay,’’ he starts to close the door and that’s when I get a whiff of his thoughts.

Fuck, that was close.

The door closes but I remain where I am. I don’t know what is happening but it seems like beau is up to sothing.

"What are you up to Beau?’’
