The Werewolf's Chapter 185: I like you

Chapter 185: I like you.

Gyles.

His eyes are captivating and just thinking that makes

feel guilty.

He is watching , waiting for

to say sothing and all I can think about is him kissing that guy at the house. I don’t know any of these people. They are all strangers to . granted, they took

and, they agreed to let

stay but I don’t know if I really long here. I see the look they give . Rogers is soone they hate. they will always rember him when they look at

and I don’t bla them.

They have every right to.

I heard all the things he did.

All the people he killed.

Because of .

"We should go in,’’ he coughs out nervously.

I don’t know what is going on but I am taking a liking to him. Rex is not soone I would’ve noticed. He is not soone that is all out in anyone’s face but I see him. I see him even though he is not in the spotlight.

"Sure,’’ I open the car door and walk out of it. He gets down and cos beside . he is so close to . I can feel the heat of his body. Not that I am complaining. We walk side by side until we get into the house. He seems very nervous. I an, it might have been my fault; after all, I am the one that talked about that kiss.

I don’t even know why I asked. I saw him kissing that guy, the man I don’t even know and jealousy stirred inside . I wanted to rip them apart. Fuck, I have never felt this kind of anger towards soone I don’t even know.

It is too early to feel this way about Rex. Roger just died in my arms. I lost him and now I am reflecting. Maybe, trying to move on. This ti, it feels like it is out of my control—whatever is going on is uncontrollable. Almost like there is soone else inside of . tugging at my heartstrings.

"If it isn’t Rex west,’’ soone walks over to us. His smile is wide and there is sowhat of a surprised look on his face. I don’t know how to react to this scenery. There are about ten people in this room. They all seem too engrossed in different conversations. I catch Freida’s eye in the corner. She waves at

and walks over to us hurriedly.

"Devon Mills,’’ Rex breathes out. I sense a little hostility.

Are they friends?

Is this what people call a party?

It doesn’t seem like it is.

My breath spikes up as two more people walk over to us. All I can sll is blood. It is very strong. I don’t know how to control this in this room full of bloody humans. Maybe it was a bad idea to co here. "What brings you here?’’ the sa guy asks him.

Freida speaks up "You knew he was going to be here, Jerk,’’ she rolls her eyes but I can’t even focus. Sothing is going incise . a battle that I don’t think I can control.

I fold my hands into fists. I hope they haven’t noticed anything. I want to prove that I can handle the real world. This would be a test to see how I would fare. Shit. The last ti I was conscious, I was just a newly turned vampire. I never really got used to handling the human scent. Surrounded by the wolves. It wasn’t as difficult as this mont.

Rex turns slowly and for a second, he knows sothing is up,’’ You okay?’’ he whispers and the hush of his voice travels down my neck, distracting .

I close my eyes but manage a nod "You even brought a friend,’’ I open my eyes again and that sa guy—Devon, is still talking. I already know I don’t like him. He is dressed in black pants and a white shite, which is buttoned to the top. He looks pretty stupid to . he has glasses on his face. They are big and horn-rimd.

Not like the kind rex has. Rex’s own is pretty adorable, unlike this person.

"I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to bring soone,’’ Rex pipes up in my defense.

Suddenly I feel bad for coming. I don’t actually belong here. I am so loser that doesn’t even rember anything before last week. I have no one. Fuck, I don’t even know who I am. Maybe the best thing would have been to die with Roger.

"More losers to the mix.’’

"shut up dude. This isn’t even your house, so you don’t have a say in who cos," Freida grunted, suddenly, she has her hand around my arm and she is pulling

away "Co on Gyles. We shouldn’t even be answering Devon,’’ she tells

like I even know anything. I let her drag

away from the crowd and to a corner of the room. My eyes stop on Rex, he is standing with the crowd, probably unsure of what to do.

"Don’t mind him, Devon is a hater,’’ she tells , not as if I care about Devon.

"Thanks, but I don’t think I needed you to defend

like that. It was not a big deal.’’

She giggles batting her lashes. I swear, she is flirting with . The question is why? Right now, I am in a battle with my mind. All I can think about is blood and all the blood surrounding .

"Do you want sothing to drink?’’ she asks .

I look around and everyone has red cups in their grips. This is a party after all. A party with only like ten people.

"Sure.’’

She beams brightly, sothing other than excitent in her eyes "I will be right back,’’ she pats my shoulder softly before walking away from . I watch her stop by rex and whisper sothing in his ear. He looks at

imdiately, suddenly I wished I focused on what she was saying. I can still feel rex’s gaze on . He hasn’t stopped looking at . why won’t he just co back and talk to ?

I manage a faint smile. When I focus on him, I am able to block out the hunger inside .

His eyes catch mine and I hold my breath from the expression on his face. I have never seen anyone as beautiful as him. His eyes are bright and blue. They shouldn’t go with his red hair. It is not sothing that should blend well but on him, it looks perfect. All his features are soft and gentle. The kindness in his eyes, the taut and pink lips that carry all his emotions. His button-like nose. The freckles on his face that look like art carved to accentuate his eyes. Even behind those glasses, I see it all clearly.

"Here you go,’’ I force my eyes away from him as Freida cos back with a cup just like everyone here.

"Thank you.’’

She smiles suddenly blocking rex from my view. Why the hell am I stuck with her? I didn’t co here to make friends. Is that why he brought

to this party?

"T-rex ntioned that you are staying at his place. Are you like related?’’

I raise a brow "Related in what way?’’ I ask unsure of what she ans by that. Does she know who Rex really is? Or is she just a friend out of the loop?

"Like a distant cousin or sothing, he didn’t ntion though. Just wondering,’’ she takes a sip of her drink and a little spill down her chin to the top of her chest. I reach for her—call it reflex, I don’t know, and wipe the rest off of her face. She stiffens against my touch.

"Thanks.’’

Touching her must have been a big deal from the expression on her face "So you didn’t answer my question,’’

I furrow my brow. I am really not following her conversation. My eyes find their way back to Rex. he is still watching us. Why the hell isn’t her here with ? I see him but he feels so far away from .

"What question?’’

She giggles again. She seems to giggle a lot. Why does it bother

as much as it does? She seems like a nice person. It would be good to mingle and makes friends but with all the blood available to

here—distracting . calling out to , I can’t really focus on friends.

"Are you related?’’

I shake my head "excuse

for a minute. I need a bathroom,’’ I tell her, not even waiting for a response. I don’t need a bathroom. I just need an escape from this place. Once outside through a back door in the house, the night sky and fresh air hit , sohow calming my nerves. This was a mistake, coming to this thing. I am not prepared.

It is all too soon.

Why am I desperate to forget it all?

Move on from Cassius.

"Hey,’’ I turn around and Rex is on the steps. He has a worried expression on his face "Too much?’’ he asks.

I nod imdiately.

He walks closer to .

"Do you want to leave?’’

I shake my head "Do you?’’ I retort. He brought

here, it will be unfair to pull him out of this outing.

"Makes no difference to ,’’ he shrugs nonchalantly.

"Freida seems to like you,’’ he tells .

I frown "I don’t like her.’’

The only person I have focused on tonight is him. The pull is imnse. I don’t know if I will be able to deny it any further.

"Oh,’’

He sounds disappointed. Did he want

to like her?

Is that why he brought

here?

"I like you.’’ I decide because he is the only person, I have taken a fancy to. His eyes open wide, he is shocked at my confession.

I don’t regret it.
