Chapter 121: The departure

Beau.

Lanis handled everything a lot better than I thought he would. I actually thought he was going to freak out. I mean, I would’ve freaked out if the case was reversed. I don’t know how he is handling all this with so much dexterity.

I had to ask him, numerous times if he understood what it all meant. The fact that he could lose the most important part of him. he said he doesn’t care, that as long as he has me, he will be fine.

Staring at him right now, I realise how lucky I am. His eyes are closed but he is not sleeping. He knows I am staring at him because there is a dreamy smile plastered on his face. I turn around slowly and see that the sun is setting.

’’How badly do you just want to stay in bed?’’ he mumbles softly.

I turn back to him and his eyes are open now, he is watching me with an intense stare, the love emanating from his eyes. I shift closer to him and pull him until his head is resting on my chest. I wish we could just sleep in, not worry about anything but there is too much to worry about.

’’I wish we could,’’ I manage.

He sighs ’’I know, it was just a random thought that I had. It would be nice to just spend the whole day with you. Without a care in the world.’’

It is almost like he read my mind. ’’How about this, after everything, we will escape. Skip town, just like a week to ourselves.’’

He exhales softly ’’Like a honeymoon?’’

I nod ’’Exactly like a honeymoon.’’

’’I am not worried about anything. I trust our relationship too much to even worry about it.’’

He is talking about what Jules said.

The fact that he isn’t worried means I have no right worrying either. I just don’t want him to have any regrets with me.

’’I love you,’’ I breathe pulling him even closer to me. I will never get tired of telling how much I love him. Just reminding him is enough, so he never forgets.

I hear a knock on my door as Bell’s scent gets closer.

’’So much for alone time,’’ I murmur frustratedly.

I move away from him and walk into my closet. I grab two pairs of shirts and shorts and throw a pair to him. at this point, there is no separation. Lanis has been wearing my clothes. Yeah, they are a little loose on him, but I love how it looks on him. once I am fully clothed, I look at him as he puts on his shirt, his hair still messy from earlier. I walk over to him and place a soft kiss on his forehead.

He closes his eyes, I can tell he wants more from the kiss but there is no time for that. I hear the knock on the door and sigh loudly ’’I am coming,’’ I yell through the door. I let go of him and walk to the door, Bell’s raises a brow as she walks into the room.

’’I heard the vamps agreed to work with us.’’

I roll my eyes ’’Oh please do come in,’’ I mutter sarcastically.

She ignores my snarky tone and faces me, waiting ’’What is the plan? How are we getting to that motherfucker?’’

I haven’t discussed anything with the pack because I don’t even know if I can trust everyone. I want to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but I can never be too sure. I am going to keep this to myself because I don’t want to hurt Brone and Bade in the process. If Cassius finds out about this, he will kill them and I will never forgive myself.

Bell’s is one of the people I trust.

’’Where did you get that information from?’’

I ask her because I need to know how it got out. I haven’t told anyone. The only people that know about those Vampires are Eligio, Bell’s and Rex. Jules is the only other person I am going to fill in.

’’They told me,’’ she rolls her eyes almost in an accusatory tone.

’’I don’t want it to get out. I need this to be lowkey. We can’t have people hearing about it. the moment word gets out, they could be killed.’’

She nods ’’I know that I just want to know how we are going to do this. I am tired of all this shit.’’

Everyone is tired but I don’t tell her that. I can understand her pain, the uncertainty. The fact that we can’t leave peacefully. None of us has even been able to go to school. we are all afraid. No one knows when there will be an attack. We can’t continue like this. I know how she feels, I want this to end too.

’’I promise this will all be over soon,’’ I try to assure her.

I can’t say I know how soon I will end this, but I know that I will get rid of him. all the confidence I lost, somehow with Lanis, I have gotten it all back. I don’t plan on losing to Cassius.

I will win, no matter what.

******************

’’So, don’t call unless it is extremely important.’’ I warn them.

We are all in front of the gates. It is extremely late tonight. Darrien and Bell’s are on guard for tonight. The sole purpose of not creating any more talk. I snuck them out of the community. I don’t even really know how the rest of the pack would feel if they found out that I let them go.

I am not supposed to trust easily.

It is a weakness that my father had, and that same trust got him killed. I am not saying that I trust these guys but I at least know what they are going through. Bade told me about his Link, the one person he never thought he could let go of. The fact that he hasn’t seen her in over two years. I don’t even know how he is handling it.

I would do anything for Lanis.

So I can understand why he did what he did.

’’We will get in touch once we know what he is up to next,’’ Brone assures me.

I believe them, completely. They want the same things that I do. I know that much. Jules walks over to us with two tiny bottles.

’’Your mind is easily accessible to Cassius. My son created a concoction, to hide all that had happened these past couple of days.’’

I didn’t even think about that. they both look at each other, almost a little uncertain. I can understand why they wouldn’t want to collect the strange bottles from him.

They don’t trust us. they are just doing what they can to survive.

’’It is made with Calustrus plant and some other fusions. You don’t have to worry about anything. It is one hundred percent safe and natural,’’ blue informs them, almost like an assurance. They don’t have to worry about anything.

Thanks to Jules and his son. This could actually work. Things are starting to turn around for the better.

’’Okay,’’ Bade gives Brone one of the bottles and they both drink it up immediately.

I watch them, waiting to see if anything happens.

’’It is very effective. Just needs an hour to settle in,’’ Blue explains.

The fact that Cassius will not be able to read their minds is the best thing we need now.

’’Thank you for your hospitality. We promise we will not disappoint you,’’ they assure me.

I am putting my eggs in one basket by trusting them. I don’t have any leads on how to find him. except for the house he kept me. I know he plans on coming back, to finish us off. I want to be ready when he does.

’’We are off,’’ Bell’s opens the gate, and they walk out of it slowly.

’’Thank you for this,’’ I tell them.

They both nod and I watch them as they disappear in the speed of light. Closing the gates, I face Jules.

’’What time do you need me tomorrow?’’

’’You have to be up at the crack of dawn. So I need you to get all the rest you can.’’

I nod because this training is all I am looking forward too. Jules walks away from me and I face Darrien ’’How is the kid?’’ I ask him concerned.

He shrugs ’’He has been sleeping all day. I am not as worried as I was earlier because he is breathing. The scare was terrifying,’’ he confides in me.

I understand his plight. I am in the same situation right now. Our mating is uncertain. We don’t know what will happen. We are just living each day as it comes with the hopes that everything will be alright.

’’He will be fine,’’ I assure him with a gentle slap on his back.

Darrien is one of the people that I have bonded with. we are dealing with the same things, so we understand each other.

’’Thanks, man,’’ he smiles as I walk back to Lanis who grabs my hand in his.

I have to be ready for everything.

I am going to win this fight.
