Chapter 224: The truth is out there

Rex.

I open my eyes abruptly, my heart racing uncontrollably. I don’t know what is wrong but I feel weird. I look around me and the room is empty. The lights are off. The only light is coming from the window. The moon is almost full.

The closer we get to a full moon, the more eager my wolf is.

It has been pretty chill, considering everything that I have bombarded on him. I just want things to quicken between all of us. Maybe that is a lot to ask for considering the direness of the situation. Gyles is stubbornly refusing us. He is refusing to accept Blue and I sense him withdrawing from me in the process.

Something is wrong.

I feel something heavy in my chest. It is the middle of the night. I don’t know why I have this feeling that something terrible has happened. Slowly, I get up from my bed and walk to my bathroom pouring water on my face. I was supposed to see Blue but we had already talked about what he wanted to. I am very worried about him—Gyles is affecting him a lot more than I actually thought he would. Blue is strong and resilient.

I hear a knock on my door, which makes me walk over to the door slowly, there is a part of me that doesn’t want to open it. Something is very wrong and I can’t pinpoint what it is exactly. The fact that someone is outside my door so late at night terrifies me because of all I am feeling inside.

Once I open the door, I see Blue, his eyes are red, and he is breathing heavily. It seems like he ran here. "Hey,’’ I manage, opening the door further.

He walks into the room, and I watch him as he stops near the bed and sits down on it. Slowly, his hands cover his face "I messed up Rex. I don’t know if I can fix it,’’ he admits.

I furrow my brow as I walk over to the bed and place my hand on his shoulder. His body feels like it’s on fire. He is burning up. I can’t even focus on finding out what is wrong with him because I have never seen a wolf sick. It feels like he has a fever.

"Babe, you’re burning up,’’ I try to look at him. His eyes are covered, he is shaking.

"I messed up,’’ he tries again as I finally succeed in getting him on his feet. I reach for his shirt and pull it off immediately as I lead him to the bed "I need to regulate your temperature." I tell him before running back to the bathroom. I grab a bowl and fill it up with water, grabbing two towels from the drawer under the sink. When I get back to the room, he is asleep. I walk over to him and pull the covers over him, placing the towel on his head. I don’t know what happened and I am so panicked right now.

Whatever it is, seems serious. I have to wait until tomorrow to find out and I can’t do that because I know myself. I will worry and think the worst and then I won’t be able to sleep all night. Blue is not in the right frame of mind to tell me. I just have a feeling that this must have something to do with Gyles. There are on rocky grounds right now and I feel like he is the only one that could really affect the guy like this.

I should be upset with Gyles because this is affecting me too. As long as he doesn’t accept Blue, he won’t accept me too.

I walk out of the room and in the direction of Gyles’s room. Before I even knock, he opens it up. His eyes are as red as Blue. He looks as tired and sick as Blue. What the fuck happened between them.

"You have to tell me what happened,’’ I blurted out those words. Deep down, he knows what I am talking about. I don’t know what it is but he does.

"He rejected me,’’ he manages.

I shake my head in disbelief. I know what he means but I can’t believe it. There is no way Blue would reject Gyles. He loves him. For the past two weeks, he has been fighting to finally get him. This makes absolutely no sense.

"That can’t be right,’’ I manage, still at a loss for words.

He sighs loudly and a tear falls from his eyes down to his cheek, I reach for him to wipe it off and his temperature is as hot as Blue. They have the same symptoms.

"He hates me and it is all my fault.

Which means that he is the one that did something. Whatever transpired between them must be Gyles fault. It seems like he is the one that did something. Saying that he rejected him seems farfetched to me. He must have just been angry. That is the only way he would say that. I don’t even want to believe it because I know Blue. He is a calm person. He is the one person that I know doesn’t get angry. He wouldn’t just condemn Gyles.

He is patient.

"I will talk to him. I will figure this out, don’t worry about anything.’’ I try to assure him but this time, it feels different. Something is really wrong and I don’t know if it will be okay. Will things get back to the way they were.

"There is no going back,’’ Gyles rambles on and on. I am trying to be here for him even though Blue is in my room right now. I have to be in the middle. There are no taking sides because I feel the same things for them equally.

"Just calm down. Let me talk to him.’’

He shakes his head and grabs me tightly "Don’t leave me,’’ he begs desperately. He is doing what he always does. He is trying to make me choose him over Blue. I can’t choose. I don’t want to be put in the middle because I don’t have the will power to do that.

"I will be back,’’ I tell him.

He shakes his head incessantly "If you leave, you will choose him.’’ I know that has been his fear all along. He doesn’t want to lose me and he thinks that Blue will take me from him when I am here to stay. I am here for him but he doesn’t believe that.

He doesn’t trust me.

"I am not choosing anyone. I love you both." I interject, my eyes fixed to his. Right now, he needs to rest and stop worrying about all this. I am sure they had a fight. Or he said some hurtful things to get Blue upset but I am pretty sure it will be settled when they wake up in the morning.

"You won’t love me when he tells you the truth. You won’t choose me when you know." he lets go of me and rests his head on the bed. I take a deep breath because now I am scared of whatever transpired between them. "Nothing will make me love you less. This thing between us is unconditional. You need to understand that.’’

He scoffs, "Even if I had sex with Blue knowing that it would ruin the mating Ritual?"

I freeze at his words because I wasn’t expecting that. Blue would never do that. I know this is something that Rex might do but Blue wouldn’t do that. He wouldn’t be so rash about a decision.

I messed up.

His words spring up to my head. He came into my room looking dejected. He said he messed up. Is that what he was talking about?

Shit.

"That can be true. Blue wouldn’t.’’

The tears that were starting to dry up, start falling again as he sits up, on the bed "He didn’t know. he didn’t know about the consequences."

That makes no sense to me.

Blue is smart.

He should’ve suspected.

He knows better.
