The Werewolf's Vampire Mate
Chapter 234: The coven

Chapter 234: The coven

Blue.

It takes approximately six hours to get home and all through the drive I feel an emptiness that I can’t even explain. I am not leaving them forever. This is not even going to take more than a week. I just need to give them my blood to heal her. The only way the leader of the coven can be healed is a remedy that includes the blood of the next in line. This is not the first time I have given her my blood and I doubt it will be the last time.

This time, it feels too problematic.

I am still upset with her. I haven’t forgiven her for all the lies and deceit. Everything would have been easier if she had just told me the truth. I wouldn’t have had sex with Gyles because I would’ve known about their traditions. Rex seems to think that I know everything. I am struggling here and he thinks I have it all so easy.

Which is so far from the truth.

Most times, I act like I know things and my willed sense makes it easier. I can tell things before they actually happen and right now, I know that whatever is wrong with her is not as bad as the phone calls made it out to be.

"Thanks, Jules,’’ I manage as we drive into the gates of the estate. The coven is an estate full of witches. Everyone that lives in this large estate is a witch or warlock. This is the place I have called home for so long. It never felt like home, no matter how hard I tried to fit in. I had a regular life. I went to school until I was eighteen and then I dropped out. No matter where I went, I just never belonged. Even the pack, I still feel that sense of not belonging. Rex and Gyles never really made me feel at home. The whole thing was just so complicated.

I just hope with my absence they will miss me and then they will accept me wholeheartedly.

"What happens when you have sex with your mate before the mating ceremony,’’ I ask him as he parks the car in front of the large house that I have lived in all my life.

He turns the ignition and raises a brow "Did you have sex with your mate?’’ he asks curiously.

I don’t want to talk about my sex life with him but I also want to know what will happen. I need to know because I plan on fixing it. I might have left them without any assurances but Rex knows that I will keep fighting for him. I won’t give on the two of them. Right now, Gyles is still clouded by his selfishness. I believe in him and I know that he will come around and be the person I know that he can be. While he figures it all out, I want to find a solution to the problem.

Right now, Rex seems to think that I have ruined our chances but I am so sure there is always a way out.

"Something like that,’’ I tell him because there is no point lying about it. Jules seems to think that I will be coming back to live with him after this is all over. The problem Lone wolves have is that they think other wolves are like him. I still don’t know his story and I don’t know why he chose to live his life alone but I will not survive being alone. I crave the comfort of always having someone by my side. I need that more than anything and maybe that is why I am fighting so hard for them.

I don’t want to lose this feeling.

The way I feel when I am with them, the joy, and the bliss. It is what makes me want to keep going on and someone like Jules will never understand because he chose to live alone.

"That probably messed it all up,’’ he tells me with a shrug.

I frown. "But it doesn’t mean there is no redemption from that,’’ I mention. I don’t need to know that I made a mistake, I just want to know the solution for the mistake.

"There is always room for redemption.’’

I wait for him to continue, tell me what I need to do. "There is a ceremony, one that is the opposite of the mating ritual."

"Has it ever been done before?"

He smiles "Of course it has been done before. You need to know that wolves are hot-blooded and horny creatures. We just can’t keep it in our pants,’’ he chuckles and then adds "How do you think I had you in the first place.’’

To him, what he just said is the funniest thing ever but to me, it is just gross. All I got from his joke is that there is a chance to make things right. Once I sort things out here, I plan on going back and making things right with them.

"Thanks, Jules,’’ I tell him as I grab the handle of the door. He looks at me and I sense the sadness as it crawls out of him. He doesn’t want me to leave and the fact that I won’t be coming home to be with him adds to it. I don’t know what I can say to offer him assurance that I am grateful for all he has done for me. If he didn’t take me to the moonlight pack, I would have never met my mates. He has shown me, love, in ways that I have never felt in my life growing up.

He smiles "Just make sure you come back to me.’’

I nod because even though I am basically abandoning him right now, I will always recognize him as my father. I will always check up on him. See him over the holidays. I will make him a part of my life for as long as I am breathing. I walk out of the car and I watch him drive off. I am already dreading this because I know what it entails. I thought I could take a break from the coven for a while but she always keeps me on a string that I just can’t seem to cut off.

Walking through the doors, the candles are the first thing I see and the smell of incense. I have always hated the scents of the house. I hated it growing up and I hate it now. The memories of locking myself in the closet by the halls. Crying my eye out after a meeting. Being bullied by the other kids.

Not belonging.

I shake the thoughts out of my head because things are different now. I have a chance to be different. Levine, mom sister--my aunt, walks out of her room, distracting me from all the thoughts in my head. She has a grim look on her face. There are dark circles around her Brown eyes and her red curly hair looks messy and not brushed. It seems like she hasn’t slept since she called me.

"You’re here, finally,’’ she exclaims loudly. Her voice echoes in the halls as she grabs my hand and drags me to the spell room. Hopefully, they only need me for my blood and I can leave in a couple of days.

"Can I at least see her first?’’ I ask her.

She shakes her head immediately as she opens the door to the room. The spell room is where all the magic potions and books are kept. There are shelves all around with books that can help with anything. I haven’t ever been interested in all this but growing up, I made it a habit to read all the books. I was always alone, so I had enough time.

She leads me to an empty chair "This time is worse than it has ever been,’’ she tells me.

I furrow my brows in confusion "How?’’ I ask her.

She closes her eyes and the next word that leaves her lips shock me.

"She was poisoned."

That is not what is shocking about it because mom doesn’t eat or drink anything from just anyone. The only person that could have done this has to be someone close to her.

So much for leaving in two days.

The knife pierces my skin without any warning and I close my eyes without even flinching because all I want to do at this moment is get back to Rex and Gyles.
