Chapter 168: Cassius and Gyles.

Cassius.

This must be a joke to them.

They are trying to get me back and he is using the one person that has slowly become my weakness. He knows that Gyles has my heart. He knows how I feel about him. He felt everything when I showed him and now he is using my hospitality against me.

All I feel is weakness.

I can’t move, breathing has become so hard and my eyes keep closing. Staying awake has suddenly become very hard. I haven’t had blood all day. They won’t feed me. It is all part of their plans to kill me but I am sure they want me to suffer first. That is alright. I am ready to die, I have been ready to die since I lost him.

It feels like a million years as I wait for him to come back. He said Gyles was alive, I heard him loud and clear. That is not possible. I remember everything.

It rings in my head every single day of my life.

The fire, the burns, his clothes in the pile.

You didn’t see a body.

A part of my mind reminds me. Yes, I never saw his body but I felt his presence. He is dead. They killed them all. I remember it all.

I am counting the seconds in my head. Lucinda is still watching me. I don’t know why she is here. What the fuck does she even want? I never had the same kind of love for her that she has for me. They are the ones that turned me into this monster. They took me in when I was ready to die. I didn’t want all the power they poured on me. I didn’t want the love they gave me. I didn’t want to live a happy and semi-normal life. The only person I wanted, died leaving me alone. Now she is here for what?

’’You should leave. Why are you even here?’’ I ask her dryly.

She sighs ’’I came to say goodbye, I hear what happened and I needed to see you.’’ She gets down on her knee again and her eyes bore into mine ’’I can heal you. Before he gets back. I am not ready to say goodbye.’’ She whispers.

This is an opportunity. ’’Do what you have to do,’’ I tell her because I haven’t finished what I started. Dying right now will be futile and is something I am not ready for yet.

I let out a cough as she reaches for me. Her hands touch my neck, the part that is contaminated. I don’t even know how this happened. That fucking mutt bite is venomous. The light that shines during her healing process emanates out. I watch her as she gives me all her energy. This is like the most intimate process for a vampire. I don’t know what will happen if Beau walks in right now.

’’Hurry up,’’ I shout at her.

Her eyes open ’’I am trying, something is wrong.’’

It seems like it is not working. Why is it not working?

Her breathing spikes, as she tries even harder with shaky hands. I am not healing. With a jolt, she jumps away from me with so much force ’’Fuck,’’ she cries out in pain. I have never seen Lucinda in pain. She is the strongest of her siblings but this is the weakest I have ever seen her.

Her powers didn’t work.

Fucking hell.

’’How is this possible?’’ she asks me, she should have the answers to all this. She is an original vampire.

’’Your powers are useless,’’ I blame her in anger. There is no use for her anymore ’’Leave, I don’t need you here,’’ I dismiss her cruelly. Her eyes open wide and I see the shock and pain in them. The door to the room opens and I direct my attention there. Immediately I see him, I freeze in shock. Completely in disbelief. I don’t even look at Beau or Lucinda anymore. All my attention is stuck on the man in front of me. He is exactly like I remember, all those memories that I never forgot. The smiles, the laughter all the love he showed me. His beautiful eyes, the crinkle on his temple when he teased me.

It is all there.

I try to stand up but the minute I pull the chains, I feel the burns immediately. Screaming out in pain, I fall back to my knees. ’’Please bring him closer,’’ I beg desperately for some contact. I don’t know if this is all a dream. I might not even be awake right now. Lord knows how many times I have concocted memories of him. I have held him, kissed him so many times in my dreams.

’’Do you deserve that?’’ Beau’s voice comes into play. I force my eyes away from Gyles painfully and to him. There is a victorious smile on his face. He is too happy for my liking. This is his way of letting me know that he has won.

Game fucking over.

’’Please, I know I don’t deserve anything. I just need to know if he really is the one.’’

From seeing him, I can tell that something is wrong. His eyes are open and he is standing but he hasn’t said anything. Something must have happened to him all those years. Someone must have done something to him.

’’I didn’t bring him here for a reunion. I just wanted you to see that all along, he was alive and instead of focusing on finding him, you chose to go with the anger in your heart. You killed all those innocent people for nothing.’’

He has said this so many times. Gyles wouldn’t want you to do this. Gyles wouldn’t be happy with you. I didn’t listen. I wanted to avenge his death. I killed all those people for him and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I try to fight the tears, stay strong in front of the love of my life. This is the first time since he died that I feel tears in my eyes. I blocked my emotions. Let it all out and now, just seeing him again is bringing it all out.

Fuck.

’’Please,’’ I beg him on repeat.

’’This is not fair, let him see him, ’’ Lucinda takes my side. I am grateful to her. I press my palms on my knees. All the weakness that I felt earlier evaporates. Even if I am dying right now, I just need to be with him. I need to hold him. ’’it’s the least you can do,’’ She adds.

Beau frowns ’’what about you? You knew about this for a while and you didn’t think to tell him.’’

I look away from him immediately as the words leave his lips. Her eyes are wide from the shock of his revelation. The anger I feel suddenly cloud all the sadness in me.

’’You knew,’’ I ask pulling at the chains angrily. She takes a step away from me.

’’I can explain. It was supposed to be a surprise. I wanted to get him back to the way he was.’’

Surprise?

I have carried so much hate for a whole breed for years and now she is saying this bullshit. All along, she could have told me about him. I would have had more time with him. Now I might be dying and she is saying surprise.

What bullshit is this?

’’You lied to me, you kept seeing me when you knew the person I was fighting for was alive.’’ my anger cannot be contained by the chains and with enough pull, they are off me as I ignore all the burns on my flesh. What is the point of anything? I am already dying.

I jump so fast, that no one expects is and grab her by her neck. She screams out from the pain of my grip. If Lucinda wants to, she can take me but I know that I am her weakness. She wouldn’t fight me.

She has never been able to fight me and for the first time, it has come to my advantage.

’’I am sorry,’’ she pleads with so much difficulty.

’’You’re sorry? You ruined my life.’’ I shout. The moment Beau gets to me, I feel him. His scent is strong and very different. Suddenly I am afraid of him. The fear that he could end my life before I even get close to Gyles. Gyles is here and I am focusing on all my anger.

’’Let go of her,’’ he warns me.

I obey immediately not even wanting to be on his bad side right now. I am not ready to die without even saying goodbye. Not yet. I let go of her and she coughs as she grabs her neck.

’’You cut my chains,’’ he accuses me.

I look at the mess, I look at my wrists. They are bruised so bad and not healing. The one thing a vampire should always be able to do—heal and I can’t anymore.

’’I will leave you with him, for five minutes. Don’t make me regret this.’’

With that, he takes Lucinda with him and walks out of the room. Now I am alone with Gyles.

Fuck.
