Chapter 113: Too Late

Jules’ pov

"Do you want to switch rooms?"

My head snapped up so fast that I heard a bone shift in my neck as i gaped at Blaze who was standing a few inches away from me. I was still sitting on the counter he had placed me on and my eyes widened as I digested what he had just asked in my head.

"What?" I whispered and he nodded once, shrugging a little. He still had an unreadable expression on as he continued.

"Do you want to switch rooms? To room with someone else that’s not me?" He repeated calmly and my eyes widened even more.

"What? I- I don’t–" I was struggling to gather my words together, to bring my thoughts together but it was all over the place.

"You don’t trust me, Jules."

I noticed it instantly. It was no longer the nickname he always used when referring to me. He had just referred to me as Jules, and that made my heart sink into my stomach.

I let out a long sigh and hopped off the counter, and then I took a step forward, hands gripping the edge of my shirt tightly as I responded.

"I- I do."

He let out a sound that sounded so much like a scoff before shaking his head once.

"You don’t."

My mouth opened and I frantically shook my head, but before I could speak, he beat me to it.

"You don’t trust me. You’re scared of me. I guess I should have expected that since I practically forced you to room with me and to sleep in my bed." He continued and I felt my eyes widened even more, prompting me to take another step closer to him.

"That’s not... that’s not true." I cried out and one of his eyebrows arched as he laughed a little.

"It’s not? But it is." He reminded me and I shook my head once again while struggling for a way to word the entire thing rushing through my entire insides.

He was right about having forcing me to do those things. But he wasn’t forcing me any longer, and that’s the difference. Now, I loved that I’m rooming with him and I love sleeping in his bed and his arms.

When I made to speak, he beat me to it once again.

"Do you know that I can tell whenever you lie to me?" He suddenly asked and I felt everything flatter inside of me. I struggled for what to say in response as my entire mind reeled.

"Whenever you lie to my face, I’ve always been aware." He continued and I swallowed emptily and silently cursed myself out over and over again.

He took a step close to me, till the gap between us was only a little.

"At first, I didn’t give it much thought because I believed that was normal. It was almost amusing, watching you stutter through a lie while your eyes and every emotion across your face give you away at the same time. It was quite amusing and entertaining. But it’s not any longer." He announced, voice low as he spoke and i felt my heart hammer against my ribs at a very fast pace.

"Now, it’s sad. You know, I don’t usually feel a lot of things. Your presence has managed to evoke emotions in me that I never got to experience since I was born." He continued after a few moments, eyes filled with a fiery emotion which made me bite down on my tongue.

"If you can’t trust me, then you shouldn’t be here." His voice was significantly colder this time and I shivered, watching with panicked eyes as he stepped back and created some distance between us once again.

The panic inside of me flared up and I hurriedly attempted to close the distance between us but he shook his head and prevented me from doing that.

"Don’t." He called out and I felt everything shatter inside of me. I could feel tears well inside of me once again.

That single word felt like a slap against my cheek.

He turned away from me and shoved his hands into his pockets before speaking.

"I’ll make a phone call soon to have to moved to a different room, one with another omega." He continued and I felt my knees wobbled as a sob broke out of my mouth.

My entire body began to shake and I wanted to reach out and grab his hand, to tell him everything and to apologize profusely, but I felt frozen, too frozen to move or say anything aside from letting another sob roll off my tongue.

He glanced at me from above his shoulder this time before speaking.

"You know, I never release anyone. That has never happened. But then, I’ve never claimed anyone else before in the first place. I’m letting you go, without hurting you... because even though I feel angry, I can’t bring myself to hurt you... so just go, hm? You’ll feel safer from a distance than being close to me."

The tears began to pour in waves this time and I struggled to see through the amount of tears in my eyes right now.

"But I trust you!" I cried out through my sobs, desperately wanting him to believe me.

"Your actions says a completely different thing, Jules." He reminded me and I hurriedly tried to dry my tears as I took a tentative step towards him.

"I don’t want to leave, or room with someone else." I whispered and he glanced at me from across his shoulder again.

"You have to, Jules." He responded, voice flat and I flinched, heart shattering inside of me.

I hurriedly tried to figure out how to quickly fix this, my thoughts scattered all over this place.

"I’ll be honest, I- I’ll come clean to you." I tried again, eager to make things right because it felt like what we had was about to fully slip from my grasp.

He turned towards me this time and shook his head once. "You don’t need to, Jules. Since you couldn’t come to me on your own, then your honesty is of no use."

My mouth wobbled as I struggled to speak but he cut me off, voice cold.

"Go pack your things."
