The Werewolf's Vampire Mate -
Chapter 146: His only weakness
Chapter 146: His only weakness
Beau.
’’We will be leaving the community for a couple of hours,’’ I tell Bells who nods in understanding. The reason why I am telling her is because I want her to hold down the fort while I am not around. Bell’s and Rex are the only ones I trust and now that I know there is a mole, I can’t think about anything else. It has been bothering me all day.
Someone here is feeding Cassius information about us and the things we are doing. It could be anyone in here.
From the wolves to the vampires. Lanis trusts his family but the only person I trust is him. so I have to believe him when he says that it can never be El. Elu and Darrien are the only ones left. Darrien is mated to a wolf. He lives for Jabi alone, so there is no doubt in my mind that he is not the one. Elu is Eligio’s link. She has no reason either but you can never be too sure. I know it is one of the people from the pack. The only people that have really been involved in the planning is Olin and Bell’s. I haven’t mentioned this to anyone else. Olin is my father’s friend. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but I can never know.
Honestly, there is no certainty that he didn’t do this.
The question is why?
Who would choose to help the people that want to kill them?
It just doesn’t make sense to me.
’’Alright. What do you want me to do while you are away?’’ she asks. We are in the main house. That is my house in the living room. I didn’t want a crowd when I talk to her.
’’After about an hour, I want you to check on Walker and his people. make sure everything is okay. Cassius is supposed to be coming tomorrow. So I want us all to be ready when he does. We can’t have any surprises.’’
I watch her as I tell her and all she does is nod ’’Another thing, there is a mole in the community.’’ I whisper those words to her for the fear of someone else hearing.
She opens her eyes wide ’’I don’t understand.’’
I know how she feels, this is pretty hard for me to believe. It just doesn’t make any fucking sense to me. that someone will eagerly help Cassius.
’’Someone in here is giving Cassius intel. He knows that we know about his ambush.’’
She frowns suddenly ’’Does that mean he is not coming anymore?’’
I shake my head ’’According to what I saw, he is still coming. It seems like he wants to just get this over with.’’
She sighs loudly, running her hands through her hair ’’So what do you need me to do. You know we have to find out who this mole is. Maybe interrogate everyone. Lanis could read their minds. See who is lying and who isn’t.’’
It’s not like I didn’t think about that but there is no time. We have a couple of hours left. Cassius will be here soon and I don’t know if I am even ready to face him. it has to be me. I have to be the one to challenge him. this is my fight, it has always been.
’’There’s no time for an interrogation. Everything is happening and it is happening fast. we can’t delay this anymore.’’
She nods again ’’So, you want me to just watch everyone right? Until you get back.’’
’’Yeah, I can do that.’’
I manage a smile because Bell’s is one of my support systems. She is one of the people that I have been able to count on from the beginning of this and I am happy that she is in my life. ’’I will be back soon. I don’t intend on spending more than one hour with them. They might be of help to us.’’
She smiles as I lead her out of the house. Lanis walks to the front door ’’Are you ready?’’ he asks with a warm smile on his face.
I nod at once. ’’Yeah, we can go now.’’
’’Great.’’
*********************
We get to the hotel they are staying in. I am already nervous because I don’t know what they want. these are people Lanis fears. I see it in his eyes. These people that have no importance in his life, make him scared. I get that they are the first of his kind. he wouldn’t be alive if they didn’t exist but they have no ties to him.
’’Come on,’’ he leads me into the building.
De Lutz is the only high-end hotel in this town. It is a five-star hotel and the most expensive one in this town. Seems like the only place in this town that those kinds of people would agree to stay in. we get to the reception and Lanis says something to the receptionist. She smiles warmly and they lead us into a corridor that leads to a dark room. There are expensive-looking paintings on the beige wall. And a large couch in the middle of the room. With two other seaters. There is a bar stocked up with drinks. Seems like the kind of place these people would set up a meeting.
The receptionist points to the chairs and Lanis leads me to sit down ’’They will be with you right away,’’ she informs us before walking away.
I look at Lanis and he manages a faint smile ’’Just remain calm okay,’’ he advises me. I know he is saying this because of how hot-headed I can get. This is one of my flaws and no matter how hard I try to control myself, it doesn’t work. It doesn’t have anything to do with anger. I just get riled up and that is the only way I know how to express myself.
The door opens before I can respond to him and a man walks into it. He is dressed very formally. In a black suit and black Italian shoes. He is a dark chocolate complexion with the bluest eyes I have ever seen. I have never seen a dark-skinned person with blue eyes but it suits him perfectly. The door closes loudly as he smiles. He stops in front of us and Lanis stands up nervously. I roll my eyes because I will not treat him the way my boyfriend is. This is not a kiss ass moment. I am here to hear what they have to say and get out of here.
’’Beau Foxly, it is a pleasure to meet you,’’ he stretches his hand out for a handshake. I glance at Lanis and he nudges me to take his hand in mine. With a soft sigh and another eye roll, I grab his hand in mine ’’Nice to meet you too,’ I manage even though I don’t really feel that way.
He lets go of my hand and sits down on one o the other chairs opposite us ’’I felt one Vampire was enough for you today. So, my siblings will be absent for this meeting,’’ he pauses as he unbuttons his jacket ’’I am Atieno Delano,’’ he smiles revealing his pearly whites.
’’Okay, you said you wanted to see me.’’
He nods ’’We need to talk about Cassius Blade.’’
’’Yeah, the fact that he is killing my people? is that what you want to talk about, even though there is a contention in place?’’
The expression on Atieno’s face remains calm. I am trying to rile him up. I don’t know why maybe I want him to be as bothered by all this as I am. No one can even understand how this feels. They are not the ones that are being tormented by some monster.
’’I apologise on his behalf. Cassius has gone too far and we won’t sit back anymore and watch him destroy everything we have worked so hard for.’’
I scoff.
He sighs ’’I know this is difficult for you, but we want to help in any way that we can.’’
I don’t know how they think they can suddenly help but I want to hear this ’’How do you intend to help us?’’
He smiles, he was waiting for me to ask him this question.
’’Cassius has a weakness.’’
At this point, they have my attention. I want to know what this is. ’’When we found Cassius and took him in. he was a miserable wreck. He lost his family and didn’t have anyone. We did the best for him. we tried to shelter him but he ended up betraying us.’’
Did they take Cassius in?
What the fuck?
’’He left not even caring about all we did for him. Lucinda, my sister fell in love with him. she tried to give him her heart but he shattered it. He was so angry that he let the anger consume him completely.’’
I don’t know what he is trying to do but it won’t work here. He will not try to convince me that there is still good left in him.
No one ever will.
’’What is his weakness?’’
That is all I want to know. I don’t care about everything else. It doesn’t even fucking matter to me. I will kill Cassius and nothing will ever stop me.
’’Who.’’
I furrow my brows ’’What?’’ I ask in confusion.
He smiles ’’Who is his weakness.’’
At this point, he is just tossing me around in circles ’’Look, I don’t know what you are talking about. Tell me how you intend to help us.’’
I watch him as he stands up from the leather couch and walks over to another door. Immediately I see the person behind this door, I recognise him.
This is impossible.
