The Werewolf's Vampire Mate
Chapter 119: Loyalty?

Chapter 119: Loyalty?

Beau.

Jules left because of something to do with Jabi. I haven’t been in the right frame of mind, since he dropped that bomb. All the questions in my mind that I can’t say out loud.

I don’t know how to comprehend all he told me. How can Alanis be human?

He is already dead.

Although Blue said it was just a faint scent, I still don’t understand what it means.

I mean, they expect me to not talk to Lanis about it. I am not going to keep this from him. I am never keeping anything from him again, even if it might upset him.

I leave the field and head to the building where we the captured vampires are. I don’t know the situation with them, I don’t even know what I plan to do with them. I need to eventually let them go but I have to be sure that they are on our side. Right now, they are living with the fear that their Links are captured and could be killed at any time. I want to help them. I don’t want them to have to go on without their significant others.

I don’t know how to help them right now but in the end, the only way everyone can be free is if Cassius is dead.

The door to the house is open, I hear Lanis’s voice all the way from downstairs ’’we don’t want to hurt you guys, we are on your side,’’ his tone is calm. He is one of the best people in handling situations.

He does everything in such a calm manner, that it is so inspiring to me. Unlike me, I think with my fist first, I get angry too fast. There is this fire in me, that feels like it is about to explode.

’’How can you guaranty us that we won’t regret working with you guys?’’ one of the vampires—Bade speaks up. They sound a lot better than the night we captured them. I wanted to be able to trust us. We need them because I know for a fact that Cassius will definitely have more than one location. He is not the type of person that is easily accessible. These guys will know where he is, they can help us with the plan. I want to make sure we get their people before we even attack him.

’’You can trust us. We are not selfish like Cassius. We only want to help you but to help you, you have to help us.’’ I hear Lanis’s voice. This makes me completely proud. Hearing him say us. It suddenly feels like there is really an us. We are one now, everything we do from this moment is as one.

’’No one has ever been able to take down Cassius Blade, he is ruthless.’’ The other vampire Brone says.

I use this opportunity to walk into the room. ’’I will not let him get away with all that he has done,’’ my voice is firm. I mean it when I say this. Cassius will not go scot-free. As long as I am alive I will haunt him down until I have his heart in my grip.

’’What do you want us to do, how can we help?’’ Bade asks.

’’I want you guys to go back to him, act normal. See what his plans are.’’

They look at each other and for a second I see the fear that they are trying to hide. It is obvious in their eyes. I know this is a difficult thing to ask for. Almost like a double agent situation but this time, they are helping the good guys.

’’He will know,’’ Brone informs me.

’’Cassius might be smart but he is also conceited. He won’t believe that you guys will betray him. He has the one thing that he knows is your priority, your one weakness.’’

’’You know this and yet you ask us to help you. We have everything to lose in this situation.’’

I shrug. He is right. They could lose everything. This is a gamble and I can’t tell them that I know how this will end but I won’t forsake them. I will fight with them till the end.

’’I know that but Cassius will never stop controlling you. How long have you been at his mercy?’’

They both sigh. Without even an answer I know it has been a while. Cassius has been passing through towns for a long time. This is not something new and he has never been alone all through. These people are forever going to be controlled by him. They will never be set free.

’’It doesn’t even matter. I don’t know how else I can convince you but I will not hurt you. I don’t believe that you are monsters. He made you do the things you’ve done. I believe in the contention. I believe we can all live together peacefully.’’

I look at Lanis and he is smiling proudly at me. The same expression I had on my face when I heard him talk to them. He feels the exact same way as I, we formed a bond last night that no one can ever take from us. It will always be there. Everyone that thinks our relationship is wrong. It happened and no one can take that from us.

Ever.

’’Think about it. How long do you want to live in his control,’’ Lanis asks them both, buttressing my point.

’’what do you think?’’ Bade asks Brone. They look uncertain, the fear still crawling out of their eyes. I don’t blame them. I don’t know how I will react if this happened to me. If someone took Lanis as leverage to get me to do whatever they wanted.

Will I fall prey to them?

Brone whispers into the other one’s ear. They are contemplating. ’’Should we give you some room to make up your minds?’’

They look up to me, their expressions blank ’’We don’t need that right now. We have spent a couple of days here. If we don’t head on back, Cassius will think we are dead or he will know something is up.’’

I nod in understanding ’’so I take that as a yes.’’

They nod their heads.

’’You haven’t been hostages, I have treated you like I will treat my friend, I gave you a bed to sleep, I fed you. I hope this will be the beginning of a thriving relationship,’’ I look at the room I set up for them. The bed, I have supplied them with blood. Made sure they didn’t feel unwelcome. I really hope I don’t come to regret this decision. It might seem weak, that I am deciding to trust them even though all they have done is hurt my kind but I am giving them the benefit of doubt.

I don’t want to live a violent life.

I want peace.

That is the only way I will ever be happy.

’We are grateful for the way you have treated us. The fact that you spared our life, we will forever be indebted to you.’’

’’Let us work together. Let us show him that good will always prevail evil.’’

They both smile, I know that I have won them over. This is a good thing. Having two people on the inside will give us an advantage. Cassius will never believe that they would betray him, considering what he has on them.

I am being optimistic.

I make the arrangement with them, we all agree that they will set out tonight. The longer they wait, the more suspicious it is. The plan is simple, they go back and act like everything is alright. We don’t communicate unless necessary.

This way, he wouldn’t have any reason to suspect. I just need all his whereabouts. I don’t want him to be able to disappear because he is good at disappearing. This plan will get us one step ahead of him. This way we know what he is thinking.

I walk out of the house with Lanis, still contemplating how I should tell him. I need to tell him because I have been an advocate for transparency and this involves him.

I don’t want him to lose himself.

That was his biggest fear and now Blue seems to think that something has changed within him. I don’t believe it because his scent is still very strong. There is no difference.

He is still a vampire.

’’Something is bothering you,’’ he states point-blank.

I stop walking and take a deep breath. He knows what I am thinking, our minds are connected, not like I am even intent on keeping this from me.

’’You have to promise now to freak out,’’ I mutter in a low voice.

He manages a smile ’’what is wrong?’’ this time his voice is urging. Almost like he is telling me to spill the beans.

’’It’s about the ritual,’’

He watches me with this intent stare, his eyes pull me in. there is nothing different about him. This is the same Lanis I have loved. No one can tell me otherwise.

’’Something went wrong right?’’ he observes solemnly.

Nothing has changed.
