Chapter 175: Mind over matter

Cassius.

He stays in my arms all night.

I feel the mental clock ticking.

Once the sun comes out, he will leave and this will be over.

I mean this is what I wanted. This is what I asked for. I asked for a night, beau gave me a night. The night is almost over and as time passes by, my heart throbs in my chest. I don’t think I am ready to let him go. It will be selfish if I ask for one more day. I want more time with him—even though I don’t deserve it. Asking for more time will just prove that nothing has changed.

I killed so many people, this is my punishment. Maybe all along it was mapped out. This was always how it was meant to end.

"Why are you here?" Gyles asks in the dead of the night. His voice is low but it seems like he has gotten more of himself in a couple of hours. The more time he spends in my arms, the more he seems like himself. Lucinda kept him away from me. They had him and she kept him away from me, I could’ve been with him. I could’ve helped him.

’’It’s a long story,’’ I don’t want to tell him that I am basically a prisoner. That after he died, I got so angry and used all the hate I had in me to kill all those people.

He pulls away from me and this time, I see his eyes as they roam around the room. His eyes stop at the chains on the floor. He doesn’t stop looking. I don’t know what he is thinking but I need to know. I don’t want him to hate me like the rest of the word. He is the only one that matters and I need him right now more than ever.

"What have you done Roger’s,’’ He breathes out.

My heart breaks, I can see the disappointment in his eyes. He already knows, even though I haven’t said anything. Gyles always knew about my anger. He could see it in me—even when I was a child but he was always there to calm the nerves. He left and I went out of control.

For the first time in God knows how long, tears fall out of my face. The sincere one. The one that tugs on my heartstrings.

The pain of all my action.

’’I am so sorry,’’ I breathe out the apology that I should have a long time ago. He doesn’t know what I am talking about but he knows it is pretty bad. He knows that there is no hope for me.

He grabs me immediately, as I break down from everything that has happened. I feel the sharp pain as soon as it happens. I don’t know why it is happening now but the sting from the bite is so sharp that at that moment, in his arms.

I blackout.

Alanis.

I don’t know if it is my head but there is a loud cry that wakes me up. We were supposed to be guarding the basement. That is why we are still in the empty house but I guess we were both exhausted. As long as I am in his arms, I let go of everything.

I jump up from the bed but beau doesn’t even flinch. He must be very tired. I mean, he has been through so much. He deserves all the sleep he wants. I hear the sound again and this time, I get up from the bed. It sounds like it is coming from the basement. A cry so loud that I don’t even know what could be happening. Deep down, I know Cassius is not going to try and escape. He has a lot that he is dealing with right now. I can totally imagine what must be going through his head. He thought he lost Gyles and to find out that the guy is still alive must be heartbreaking. He completely focused on the wrong thing. He should have been looking for the guy but he ended up being a monster and killing all those people.

He is going to die.

No matter what.

I walk into the door of the basement and the sight before me is exactly what I expected. I knew he was going to die, I could feel him fading away but I didn’t expect it to be so quick.

"Help,’’ Gyles looks up. Cassius is in his arms, he is unconscious but I still smell his scent. He is not dead but he is barely alive.

"he is dying,’;’ I tell him because this is the best thing.

The fact that Gyles is responding, means Cassius saved him. He brought him back to his senses.

That is a good thing.

He gave the kid a chance to survive.

’’That’s impossible. He is a vampire. I can sense him.’’ He cries.

I walk over to them, my eyes searching for a way to explain this to him better. He needs to grasp the situation. There is nothing I can do to save him.

’’Please help him... please,’’ Gyles begs.

My heart cries but I actually want him to die. It is the best thing for everyone. We have all been through too much because of this man. He doesn’t deserve to breathe for another second.

"You’re not helping. Why aren’t you helping him,’’ he shouts so loud that the sound is deafening. His eyes are full of tears. He is crying and there is nothing I can do.

’’I’m sorry,’’ I apologize because this is the only thing I can do. There are no words to say. I don’t know how he is feeling but this is the only thing I can offer. My sincere apology.

"Give him your blood, it will help him,’’ he informs me with a glare. His eyes turn red at his words. The confidence in his demand is shocking. Does he think I will just obey him just because he tells me to?

"I won’t do that,’’ I tell him blatantly.

This is the moment we have been waiting for. I didn’t want to say anything to Beau but I wished he had killed him on the field. To me, all this was unnecessary and now we have Gyles involved in this.

Will he back off easily?

"Now,’’ he shouts so loud that I am sure Beau would wake up from the sound. He lets go of Cassius and stops in front of me, grabbing the collar of my shirt roughly. I am not afraid of him. This is someone that didn’t even utter a word for a couple of hours. He is not a threat to me.

"Don’t do anything you will regret,’’ I warn him.

His eyes are still red, which means his abilities are working. I don’t know what his deal is but I am ready to kill him too if he becomes a threat to me. "Give him your blood now,’’ he glares at me, his tone firmer.

In that second, he lets go of me and I feel my legs move on their own. What the fuck is going on? I try to stop it but it doesn’t work. It feels like I am being controlled.

I stop in front of Cassius. His body looks paler.

"What did you do?’’ I ask him.

I know what it is but he is making me do this. My body is not my own anymore. "Don’t do this,’’ I plead. I don’t know what my blood will do for him. I doubt it will save him but he must have a reason for asking me to do this. He must think this will work.

I raise my hand up—against my will. I am still looking at him. Pleading with my eyes that he will come to his sense.

"Just do it. Save him.’’ He tells me.

I don’t say anything, as my fangs come out. I bite my skin off and the blood spills out of my wrist. The only person I have given my blood to is Beau and now he is making me do this to the one person I hate. I reach for Cassius and place my hand on his lips. This is it. I am going to do this.

Fucking hell.

"What the fuck,’’ I hear Beau. I knew he would wake up. His eyes are on me, confusion spread on his face "What are you doing Lanis,’’ he asks in confusion.

"Now,’’ Gyles screams so loud, his voice travels through my ear until it sends shockwaves to my veins.

My blood is his mouth in the same moment beau runs to stop it. "Don’t let him stop you,’’ Gyles warns me. I know Beau won’t hurt me but I wish he would at this moment. The best thing to do is knock me out. That is the only way he will be able to break this spell or whatever the fuck this is but he doesn’t do that.

It is too late.
