The Werewolf's Vampire Mate
Chapter 179: Stay with me

Chapter 179: Stay with me

One week later

Rex.

It’s been one week since the deaths. Since the killings. Hell, I am glad it is over. I can finally focus on the things that matter. To me, school is the most important thing to me. Because of the drama, I lost a session and now I have to work twice as hard. Going back to normal life has been the most relaxing thing ever.

Not having to think about that motherfucker Cassius—I know, it is not good to speak ill of the dead. I mean, it is not cool calling him a motherfucker but he did all those bad things. He hurt all those people.

"Yo," Beau walks into my room without knocking. There is this newfound happiness that takes over him. It is good to see him being back to his old self. I think the whole Cassius drama made him into a downer. Now he is smiling, he looks brighter and happier. Just like he was before.

"What’s up,’’ I ask returning the smile.

"We’re all going to the Greenspring’s community this weekend. Would you like to come with?’’ he asks like he needs my permission. The funny thing is, if he orders me to go, I will have no choice but to obey him. He is the Alpha of the pack. the leader and basically my boss—if you want to put it like that.

"Do I have a choice?’’ I ask him.

He laughs "Well if you are not feeling up to it. You don’t have to. Darrien and Jabi are not going, you could stay if you want to rest this weekend." He tells me and for the first time. I feel like I don’t have any pressure to do anything.

"Are you sure?’’ I ask wanting to be very sure that he doesn’t need me.

"One hundred percent,’’ he winks at me and walks out of my room. I lie back on my bed with the book I was reading before he came in tightly grasped around me. after a couple of hours of reading, I decide to go out for some fresh air. A week ago, we were not allowed to go out. We had to stay indoors but now; it feels like things are calm. It is easier to be free. As a wolf, not being able to go outside. The feel of the sun on our fur could weaken us.

Once outside, I go to my usual spot. A rock by the trees. This is my space; it is usually very quiet and I get more reading done outside.

"Hey,’’ I look up and Blue smiles at me warmly. That smile turns my insides into a gooey mess. I have never seen anyone as attractive as Blue. He has this aura about him that screams out to me. makes me want to get to know him. Seeing Blue. I don’t think he is my mate. It is just so wrong. The whole thing is. He is a lone wolf. He doesn’t belong in a pack and I also heard that he is a warlock. Like how is that mix even possible. In my mind, I want someone normal. I just want a wolf—with no drama and maybe that is why I haven’t given him a chance.

"hi,’’ I respond with a slight wave.

He takes another step towards me and the smile is still on his face. He stops in front of the rock and points at it "Can I sit?’’ he asks calmly. His voice is deep and masculine. It makes me want to just melt in his arms. If this is how I am, when I haven’t given in to him, I wonder how I will be when I do.

I’m not saying I will.

But...

"So, everything’s over,’’ he tells me with a sad smile. Another reminder that Cassius is dead. God, it feels so good to say he is dead.

"Yeah, thank goodness.’’

He chuckles nervously. Why is he nervous? I am the last person he should be nervous with. He reaches for me; I flinch away before he gets the chance of touching me.

"That means I am leaving,’’ he informs me, even though I already knew that it was bound to happen. I mean, he came here with Jules. Jules never intended to stay. This was just supposed to be until Cassius died. Cassius is dead, so it only makes sense.

"Oh,’’

His eyes remain fixed on me. he doesn’t budge. I wish he would just look away because I don’t like the things it is doing to me "Maybe I could stay for a while, what do you think?’’

It is tempting. I really wish I had the courage to say yes to him. Tell him that I want him to stay. That I want to explore whatever this is but as usual. I am a coward. I was a coward when the vampires attacked the bus and I am a coward now with Blue.

"if you want to,’’ I shrug nonchalantly even though my heart is beating like crazy.

He tilts his head and squints his eyes, almost like he is studying me. trying to figure out something that I don’t know. Slowly, he leans forward "Do you want me to?’’

He is asking me and his eyes are taunting me, pleading. Does he feel the same way about me? does he feel this connection and is he interested in exploring this.

"Uh...i..i... don’t know,’’ I stutter like the mess I am.

The smile remains on his face as he reaches out for me again, this time I don’t pull away. Maybe if he touches me; I will know. His hand stops just an inch away from my face. I close my eyes—waiting for the touch but it never comes "Maybe I want to stay... with you.’’

I open my eyes and he is watching me; I don’t know what to do but I like the way he looks at me. I wish he would never take his eyes off me.

"Why?’’ I manage in question.

His hand is just an inch away from me, he doesn’t attempt to touch me anymore "I don’t know. Maybe I like being around you." He winks then continues "You intrigue me to the point where you’re all I think about.’’

I intrigue him?

I have never intrigued anyone. In all my years on this planet.

"Then stay... don’t leave,’’ I finalize, the courage suddenly pouring out of me. at this point, I don’t care if he is my mate. I don’t care that his mother is a witch and he is not full wolf. I just want to get to know him. I just want to get to know someone for the first time in my sad life.

His smile widens, I see his teeth, white and flawless. Just like the rest of him. I have seen so many perfect men in my life. Beau is one of the most beautiful men I know but looking at blue now, in his faded jeans and black shirt. He looks more than perfect to me.

"You can’t get tired of me if I do. You have to promise me."

How will I ever get tired of him? Blue could literally just be staring at me and I wouldn’t be bored. He is perfect.

"I won’t,’’ I assure him. This is the only thing I am sure of. I doubt I will get tired of him. His story alone is interesting.

"You sure about that?’’

I nod and this time, he cups my face in his palm. I don’t know what I was expecting from his touch but it wasn’t this. The reaction is instant. Feels like chemicals are swimming within me. it completely takes over my whole being. I stay still, trying to control the excitement happening within. It must be obvious to him because the touch becomes a soft caress. I close my eyes because looking at him makes it even worse. His eyes are intense. I have always thought that about them and now all I can think about is kissing him.

I have never wanted to kiss anyone as bad as I want to kiss him.

"I won’t go anywhere,’’ he assures me and I keep my eyes closed.

A second later, his hand is off me and he is up to his feet. I open my eyes and the beam in his eyes is bright. So very bright. "I should head out, are you going to the Greenspring’s community?’’ he asks.

"No,’’ I tell him.

His smile wipes off his face "too bad, I thought I’d get to spend more time with you there.’’ He mutters disappointedly.

Suddenly, I want to go.

I go back inside with thoughts lingering. Blue is a great guy, he will be a good mate. asking him to stay might eventually be the best decision I will make in my life.

I have this weekend to prepare for how I am going to handle this.

I need to know if I should run into this full force or hide away from it all.
