Cassius

He leaves us alone and my eyes stay fixed on the only man I have ever loved. He is still standing by the door. There is no life in his eyes. What happened to him?

’’Gyles,’’ I call his name before taking a step towards him. He doesn’t respond to me but that doesn’t stop me. I wish he would just come back to the way he was, remember me. A lot has changed about me. I grew up before I was turned. To him, I might be a different person and he wouldn’t even remember me but I remember everything. All the pain from my wound, the pain in my chest, they all vanish at this moment because I am with him again. ’’It’s me, Rogers,’’ I tell him the name I haven’t used in a long time. I gave up that name the day I lost him. I didn’t want to remember all the bad things. I wanted to let go of the past but I couldn’t. No matter how hard I tried, he was always on my mind.

I could never wipe him away.

No matter how hard I tried.

I reach for him, I can see his pupils as they shift slowly, he is looking at me but he doesn’t react. He just stands there and all I want to do is wrap my arms around him. Will I be allowed to do that?

I stop in front of him. Now we are just inches apart. I want to show him everything. I don’t know if I still have the energy to. I am so weak that I feel like I could drop dead any minute. I should gather strength. I already know that I am almost at the end of the road.

I don’t want to lose the opportunity to say goodbye to him. I want him to remember me. I want to know what happened to him all those years ago.

Who took him?

Why did they take him in the first place?

I stretch my hands out painfully until they are on his face, just on each side of his temple. He doesn’t push me away or fights back. His expression remains blank and that just tugs at my heartstrings more. I hate the way he is and just thinking about how he has had to suffer for so long like this makes it hurt the more. There is a memory that I could show him, one that I am very sure will bring him back if it doesn’t, I don’t know what else to do.

Closing my eyes, I muster up all the strength I can. I show him my heart on a silver platter. I have done this for so many alphas in packs. The last one I did this to was Beau. I showed him my heart and he took it out and stomped all over it. This time, I hope Gyles will take my heart on a good note. I hope he will return it back to me the way I gave him. Clean and not shattered.

I take a deep breath, and even though it hurts to breathe, I let it all out. Feel it as it travels to him, a trip to the past. One that should remind him of the love I hold for him...

"Hey.’’ I look up and Gyles walks into the room. There is a smile on his face, he seems happier than he usually is. I love it when he smiles, somehow his smile always makes me smile. So, whenever he is in a good mood, it automatically transfers to me.

’’I have some good news,’’ he informs me, jumping on the bed and pulling me closer and into his arms. I rest my head on his chest because this is my most comfortable place. Just being close to him in his arms is my happiness.

’’What is it?’’ I ask him curiously.

He was turned a week ago. On his eighteen birthday father turned him into a vampire. That was always the plan. When they found Gyles, they were always going to turn him. I never really heard the story of how he was found. I just know that he was not in a good situation. Whatever it was, I don’t even think I want to know. Being abandoned as just a kid and then having no one was not the best thing but having people but not being treated right could be the worst.

’’I asked him about you again and he said we will talk about it on your eighteenth birthday.’’

I don’t know how I feel about turning into a vampire. Gyles is already different. He is more beautiful and don’t get me wrong, he has always been beautiful but now, there is a shine to him. One that makes him outstanding. He is stronger, happier and more accepting of himself.

He said I would only understand when I am like him. The only way we can be together is if we are the same. I still have two years to go and even though I am not sure how I feel about this, I know I want to be with him.

’’Is that the news?’’

He nods his head and then plants a kiss on my temple ’’you know what that means?’’

I know what he is talking about. We have been taking things slow. He still looks at me like a kid but the age difference between us is not that far off. I want things to go further between us. The love I feel for him is pouring out of me that the spillover is evident. I wait for him to speak but he just leans forward until his lips are just an inch away from me. I can feel his breath on me. it is hot and the goosebumps crawl all over my skin. We have kissed before, countless times but he tries to control his emotions. He wants to see me as a kid even though there is barely an age gap between us.

’’We can be together. We can kiss, touch.... Have sex,’’ he winks and my heart melts in my chest.

God, he is teasing me and I like it so much. I love everything about him and it is driving me crazy. Sex is like the most appealing thing to me right now. I never even thought I would think about it as something that I could look forward too.

’’You will officially become mine,’’ he breathes before smashing his lips to mine. My legs trample as he grabs my waist until I am on him with my legs in between. Kissing Gyles is the most intense feeling ever. Whenever our lips merge together, I feel one with him. I feel the butterflies, the intensity of the kiss escalates.

I love this man so much.

I feel him push away from me immediately. With all the strength I have lost, this gets me out of the trance I wanted him in and puts me on the floor of this basement. My eyes shoot open and he is pressed on the wall, his eyes are wide. Tears welling in the brim of them. There is a difference to him before he was blank and not really here but now, I feel him coming out of whatever trance he was put in. whoever did this to him, ruined my life and his.

I struggle to get up on my feet, he watches me, still quiet. Oh, how I wish to hear his voice. The only sound that can ever make me forget all my problems. I know I don’t deserve this, this feels like a second chance, a chance to redeem myself and after all, I have done, I don’t deserve this opportunity.

The door opens and Beau walks into the room. He looks at Gyles immediately. His brows furrow in confusion when he sees that he is crying.

’’What did you do to him?’’ he accuses me and I don’t blame him. I am associated with murder and anger. There is no way, he will see the good in me—if there is even any good left in me.

’’Nothing,’’

He shakes his head in disbelief. I don’t want to let him go yet. He didn’t even remember me ’’Times up. Hope you’ve said all the goodbyes you can.’’

I walk over to Gyles hurriedly and Beau glares at me warningly ’’don’t you dare.’’

’’Please, i am not done,’’ I beg him desperately.

When it comes to Gyles, I have no pride. I want to be with him until my dying day. Can’t they at least just let me spend the rest of my life with him?

’’I gave you enough time. Do you actually think you deserve the kindness I have shown you?’’

He is right and I can’t fight him on that. I have been nothing but cruel to him and his kind. I don’t deserve anything but that is the difference between us. I am a monster and he is a decent person.

"Please."

He sighs "I don’t trust you."

I nod ’’I am dying anyway. I just want to be with him. Give me one last act of kindness.’’ This is all I can do. I can only plead that he will at least just do this for me.

He lets out a sigh ’’The Elis only gave me him for a couple of hours.’’

"Just one night. You can have him tomorrow, I won’t beg you after that, let me just help him remember. He doesn’t deserve to be this way.’’

He looks at Gyles in the corner and he is still crying. I want to hold him s bad but not until I get the permission.

"One night."
