Chapter 163: We finally have a win

Beau.

The moment the words leave my lips, they all stop.

The scene in front of me is heartbreaking. I have been watching Lanis like some fucking creep. Wanting to see if he would be able to stop the fighting and he did the best he could. Maybe if they all see that I am alive, they will stop. Cassius has done his last tormenting. I am going to kill him, he will suffer before he dies.

That I am sure of.

’’Enough of all this. this war is over,’’ I let out a breath as I walk closer to the scene.

I feel Lanis’s eyes on me, his breathing is unsteady. His heart is calling out to me. I feel the exact same way. Tonight, Cassius almost killed him and that is the pull I needed to wake up. Seeing him in danger is all it takes. The one person that means the world to me. all the dreams I have had, they have been the push that I needed.

’’And what about us, what about our families?’’ one of the vampires asks with so much pain in his voice.

Like I have been saying, these people are not evil by choice. they are doing this against their wills. I have to be the leader that helps them because all I want is peace. Peace between both kinds.

’’We will find them; I promise I will find everyone and make things right.’’

I never wanted this war in the first place, the only person that I wanted was Cassius and now I have him.

’’How can we trust you?’’ another person asks shakingly.

I part my lips to tell them that they can’t trust me, they don’t know me but they need to believe that I won’t betray them but Bade beats me to it ’’The wolves are trustworthy, they had the chance of killing me and my brother but they didn’t. they spared us because these are the kind of people they are.’’

I am thankful for his help, but I am also already positive that I can convince them on my own.

’’Where is Cassius?’’ someone asks, the fear clear in his voice.

’’I have him somewhere. I don’t plan on killing him until I get him to tell me where your links are.’’

His strategy was to have an army of oppressed people. people that didn’t want to hurt others. He used them all and that was how he got them to do his dirty work. I look around at the dead bodies on the ground. People have died today but the number of people alive triumphs the dead.

I didn’t want people to die.

I don’t want this to end in blood and death.

Thinking about the war before the contention, all the people that had to die. I didn’t want a repeat of that.

’’We have to trust him, there is no other choice. Or we all end up dead,’’ a female vampire speaks up and I smile at her. I need them all on my side. Even if there is just one person that is against this, it will cause a problem.

’’I need to go back home,’’ Walker announces.

I turn to him because he is right. Cassius mentioned that his pack was attacked. If all his strongest fighters are here, that means the pack was left weak and vulnerable.

’’Do you need some of my people as back up?’’ I suggest because I want to do whatever I can to help him. He came here to help me, and I owe him everything.

’’My son is in the community; he is one of my strongest people. I doubt they would’ve done as much damage as Cassius claimed with him there.’’ He brushes it off like there is nothing to worry about, but I see it in his eyes. he left his son home, and they were attacked which means there is a chance that his son could be in danger.

I manage a smile because at this point that is the only thing I can offer. ’’Thank you for everything,’’ I try.

He nods and I watch them as they all leave, not saying anything else. Once this is all over, I plan to get closer to the green springs pack. Father never kept a close relationship with neighbouring packs. We were the kind of pack that kept to ourselves but with this Cassius situation, I now know that no man is an island. Doing things alone will never work.

’’Have we all come to an agreement?’’ I ask them again because I need to know what the next step is.

Cassius will give in the moment he finds out that Gyles is alive. He will stop all this anger within him when he realises that the man, he so desperately fought for is alive. The wolves never killed him.

All his fighting was for nothing.

’’Do we have a choice?’’

I look at the vampire that voiced out his concerns. ’’You all have a choice. if you still want to fight, then we will fight but I am doing this because I don’t want to fight. I don’t want to hurt any more people.’’

I am done fighting.

’’Okay, we will retreat for now, but you have to help us. you have to help us find them.’’

There is a chance of a better tomorrow with that promise. I know things are only going to get better from here on out. we part ways with the vamps, and I go back to the community with Lanis and the rest of my family.

’’Can you call Darrien. Make sure Rex and Jabi and the rest are okay?’’ I ask Bells because suddenly the exhaustion of everything kicks in.

We have a total of three fatalities. It hurts but It is better than what would have happened if we didn’t stop this. Lanis has been staring at me all night. I don’t know what is going on in his head, but I don’t like the look he has on his face. it is very worrisome.

In situations like this, he is usually the calm one. He always has everything under control but why does it feel like he is about to break down?

’’Can you contact the Elis? I need Gyles.’’ I tell him.

He nods as we walk into the house. I had transformed back into my human body and now I need a hot shower to wash away the fight and everything that happened today. here I am still thinking about how wrong things could have turned out today, but I am glad it didn’t.

’’Okay,’’ he responds softly as he closes the door behind him. I am already naked, so all I need to do is head over to the shower. I can’t leave him right now knowing something is eating at him.

’’What’s wrong?’’

He shakes his head immediately brushing it off like its nothing. I know better to listen to his outer words. I want to know what he is feeling within. There is a pain in his eyes that he is trying to hide from me.

’’You know we are better than that lie. I can see right through you.’’ I tell him, slowly walking over to him. I grab his hands in mine and he closes his eyes as a tear slides out of his eye. It is just one tear; I know there are more that he is trying to push back.

’’Baby, talk to me.’’ I pull him into my arms, and he rests his face in the crook of my neck, clutching unto me tightly. It almost feels like he is terrified to let me go. I feel the same way. Today, I almost lost him. I know how that feels, I never want it to happen.

’’You died, I saw you die in front of me and there was nothing I could do,’’ I can’t see his face now but I almost sure the tears are giving up. I know he is sobbing and sometimes it is good to let it all out. I want him to cry all the tears out, I want to be his strength at this moment.

’’I am never leaving you. Nothing is going to take my future away from you. I promise you that Lanis.’’

This is my promise to him.

We have a lot to look forward to.

Two beautiful children, a life together. Why the fuck would I let go of all that. The day I touched him, the day we formed that bond, it was the start of a beautiful future that not even motherfucking Cassius can take away from us. we have worked too hard. We have fought and lost, we have suffered too much not to get our happy ending.

’’I love you Lanis, I love you with my whole being. Our love will always win, I promise you.’’

I don’t know who I am trying to convince or reassure but I think it is working for the both of us.

Letting out a heavy breath, I close my eyes still in his arms, happy that we finally have a win.
