Chapter 108: The escape

Darrien.

This is ridiculous.

I don’t understand why we have to be in this cave, I am not an animal. We don’t have to do this his way. Why can’t I just have him in the comfort of my house, on my very comfortable bed? This is not what I fucking want.

’’You’re upset,’’ Jabi points out suddenly.

He is the only one that can tell what is going on with me. I am a vampire; I don’t have to be at the mercy of the wolves. This will be easier done my way.

’’I am not upset,’’ I deny. I don’t want him to think I have regrets. I want to do this with him but I hate the fact that I have no fucking clue. What the hell am I supposed to do?

’’Are you having regrets?’’ he asks me, the worry obvious in his expression. There are no fucking regrets here, just a lot of discomfort that I don’t think I can get over.

’’I don’t regret anything. don’t start having doubts. You have to trust me,’’ I plead with him because I need him to trust me. at least I need that a lot more now.

I look around the cave. This place is not it. there is dirt everywhere filled with darkness, the only light coming from the moon and stars above us. this is insane, how did I even agree to something like this. Why would I subject myself to this?

Shit, I am spiralling.

’’Something is wrong’’ Jabi says walking closer to me.

He stops in front of me and I watch him. he is right, something is definitely wrong with me. Jules said everything that would happen tonight would be instinctual. He said that I would know what to do when the time came. At this moment, I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be doing this with him here.

It doesn’t feel right.

Maybe this is my instincts coming to play.

’’I don’t think we should be doing this here,’’ I confess to him. I just can’t get over this place. Something is not sitting right with me at this moment. I want to be anywhere but here.

Does that even make any sense?

’’I don’t understand,’’ he mutters, confusion sprawled on his face.

Jabi doesn’t know what I am talking about, fuck, I don’t even know what I am talking about. All I know is that I don’t want to be here—or at least I think I shouldn’t be here with him. I know for a fact that this ritual is going to happen tonight but I just feel like this is not the right place for this. There is more to this feeling and I wish I could interpret it.

’’Do you trust me?’’ I ask him because that is all I want from him—oh and his love. I want all the love he can give me and then multiply that by a million to infinity.

Those two things are all I want from him.

’’I trust you,’’ he whispers in the dead of the night.

I know that I trust him. the minute he tells me that he wants this done here, I will agree to it. his decision will be the final one to me. I know the kind of person Jabi is. He might not think he is good enough, or smart enough. Hell, he doesn’t think he is anything enough, but he is enough for me. he is all that matters to me.

He is the only one that I want to listen to.

He is my priority.

’’Would you still trust me if I tell you that I don’t want to do this here?’’

He furrows his brows in confusion, I continue my explanation ’’I don’t want to do this the Werewolf way. I don’t think we should do this in this cave.’’

’’Do we have a choice?’’ he asks curiously.

I shrug ’’I don’t know, something just doesn’t feel right with me. I don’t feel connected to this place. Do you?’’

’’I don’t know. I haven’t ever felt connected to this pack. Never.’’

I nod and grab both his hands in mine ’’Do you feel connected to me?’’

He nods his head immediately. It feels like I can read his mind. I see the sincerity in his eyes. There is only truth in his expression. We are connected because we are meant to be together.

’’I want us to do this the only way I know how to, I want to do this with you at my place away from the eyes of everyone. I want to do this with you the vampire way?’’

He sighs ’’What if it doesn’t work.’’

I haven’t even thought about that. there is the probability that I am losing my mind and I could end up losing him in the process. This thing between us is not black and white, there is nothing straight forward about it. I don’t know the outcome of my decision, but I want to take that chance. I hope he is willing to take the chance with me.

’’I don’t know, I really don’t even know why I have this sudden urge to leave this place.’’

He sighs ’’I want to do this with you. Whatever we do, we do it together,’’ he announces, and I feel relief in my chest. I needed his approval. No matter what decision I make, ii need him to be okay with it. I won’t do anything he doesn’t want to do.

’’Are you sure about this. I need you to think about the repercussions of this decision. If we decide to leave here and go to my apartment, we might end up not completing the ritual. There is the probability that we will have to do this on the next full moon.’’

He nods his head ’’I know, I have thought about all the things that could happen.’’

’’And you still want to go with my judgment?’’

He nods ’’I trust you. You are the only one I follow.’’

My heart jolts in excitement at his words. I am the only one that he follows. That means the world to me and he has no idea how much his words are affecting me.

’’Then I think we should go to my home. The one place I can truly be myself,’’ I tell him.

’’Okay,’’ he agrees.

The love I have for this boy is unmeasurable. I didn’t even think it would feel this way. How is it possible that on such a short time he has completely taken over my heart?

’’Do you think we will be able to sneak away?’’ I ask him unsure how we are going to make our escape.

He shrugs ’’Security is tight. we just have to make sure we leave the gates without being seen,’’ I grab his hands in mine and lead him out of the cave glad to be out of there. There is no one outside, Jules said the Wally cave is protected by the goddess of the moon. I don’t even know what that means—not that I am saying I don’t believe in their gods; I just don’t understand it. he said that no one could enter unless they were granted access. So at least Beau and Alanis are safe in the caves.

They will be fine.

’’We are rebels,’’ he whispers in my ear as we walk through the trees to the direction of the caves.

He seems excited. I am glad that I bring excitement to his life. I want to show him a world he has never experienced. I want to be his new normal.

’’You know, this is just the start. We are here to cause so much trouble,’’ I wink at him and his cheeks redden, the cutest blush appearing on his face. this baby boy will be the death of me.

I stop walking in the midst of our escape and pull him close to me. he welcomes me into his arms as I lean forward and press my lips to his. His eyes close in a way to tell me that he wants more from the kiss. This is not the time for this but I have to give my baby what he wants. My tongue slides into his mouth, the moisture from this contact soothing. He wraps his arms around my waist and all thoughts of what is to come clouding my mind. I pull away from him as he moans into my mouth.

’’We need to get going. I have so many plans for you,’’ I grab his butt and give it a slight squeeze.

The redness on his cheeks deepen and I chuckle at how innocent he is. He will not be so innocent when I am done with him but we can’t have him knowing just yet what I plan to do with him.

’’Come on... we should continue our escape,’’ I grab his hand again and pull him to the direction of the gates.

’’Escape where?’’ I hear a voice that pulls us out of our trance.

Shit.
