Chapter 272: Coming around

Gyles.

I open my eyes and the room is empty. I am on Blue’s bed, his scent is strong and it takes a lot of strength to get up from the bed. I sit up and touch my stomach, the part that Rex stabbed. The pain is still there—maybe it is psychological because it has completely healed.

I get up from the bed and go in the direction of his closet. I remember everything from my sleep state. I remember seeing Rogers. I remember Selene. Just thinking about her is a sort of comfort to me. She gave me the courage to go on and even if I am doing this majorly for myself. I will think about her with every decision I make.

I remember Rex being in a cage-like some sort of fucking animal. He was crying and in so much pain. If Blue couldn’t get him out—I will. I put on a pair of shorts and a plain T-shirt and walk out of his room. the halls are empty. I don’t know where Rex is but I know he is in some sort of prison. I just have to find him. I don’t know the situation. I mean.

Talk to him with a mind link.

My wolf tells me. I have never used the mind link but I have heard about it. I don’t know how to channel all my energy into my mind.

Just think about him. Picture where he is.

I am in the middle of the halls as I close my eyes. All I need to do is picture him. I know where he is. The dream I had suddenly seems so real to me. I know for a fact that it wasn’t a figment of my imagination. It happened.

I take steady breaths as all my thoughts go to him. Maybe this is me being stubborn. Maybe this is what Blue is always talking about. It might not be a good idea but I am sure I can get him out.

Finally, I see him. He is still crouched on the floor. His eyes are open but he looks even weaker than when I saw him. Has even fucking eaten anything? How long have I been out?

"Rex,’’ I call his name. He looks up and I smile because he can hear me.

"Gyles?’’ he calls my name. I hear footsteps and a guard walks over to him.

"Keep it, quiet mister,’’ he hits the cage, and the anger inside me intensifies. They are talking to him like he is some kind of criminal. He hasn’t done anything.

"Rex, I am coming to get you out of there,’’ I tell him.

"How?’’ he whispers probably not wanting to upset the guard any further. I take deep breaths because this is all new to me. I don’t really know how it works. A mind link is a connection between wolves. If I am connected to him, then I can find him. "I don’t know where you are,’’ I mutter quietly "I need to find you,’’ I breathe out desperation crawling out of my tone. Maybe it is all the guilt I am feeling but at the end of this, it is all my fault.

I inhale and exhale for a couple of minutes, trying to reach him. trying to find that link that will connect us together. after a couple of tries, I see it. a smile sprawls to my face as I run out of the house. I have to hide and dodge everyone because I really don’t know the situation with this place. I hate that the minute we stepped into his home, this happened. I know something happened to Rex. we were in a place full of witches, someone must have done something to him. I just need to get him out of here first.

I get to the entrance of the building. The closer I get, the deeper I feel. I can feel him and I haven’t even seen him.

I am coming baby.

I assure him. there is a man in front of the entrance. He is dressed in a pair of jeans and a navy-blue shirt and black combat boots. He looks to be around six feet tall, with muscles and a stern face. The only thing I can do to enter this place is to compel him. I will compel everyone until I get to Rex. he is my only concern right now.

You feel guilty.

My wolf tells me.

I stop in front of the man and he raises a brow "what do you want?’’ he asks me coldly.

I take a deep breath because it should be easy "I want to see the prisoner."

He laughs, "Do you know how many we got in here. You should be more specific,’’ he tells me casually like he would let me see him if I asked.

"Let me in.’’

This time, I use my compulsion. That look in his eyes, the one that happens whenever I control someone, I see it in his eyes. He shifts for me immediately and I enter the dark house. I don’t get why there are no lights but I keep walking as my wolf senses that I am closer to him. I don’t stop walking until I get to another door. There is another Guard in front of this one. This time, I don’t even bother with small talk.

"Open the door,’’ I tell him blatantly.

He opens the door immediately and I walk into the room I remember. The room where they kept him. I see him immediately and it doesn’t take anything for me to break the chains on the door. I am pretty sure he could have gotten out of here if he really wanted to.

"Rex,’’ I call him. he looks up at me and stands up from the floor. I walk into the cage and help him up to his feet. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me in for a hug.

"You are okay,’’ he manages.

I take a deep breath because I am pretty sure he is feeling guilty for what happened "I am okay,’’ I assure him.

We stay like that for a couple of seconds. I feel all the emotions that I didn’t think would be possible. I have regrets. I regret making him come here. I regret being controlling and manipulative, being the selfish man, I have been. If only I had listened to him—not done what was good for only me, he wouldn’t be hurting this bad.

"I need to get you out of here,’’ I pull apart from him gently. His eyes are red, tears are welling in them.

"I hurt you, I am so sorry,’’ he manages in between sobs.

I shake my head immediately "This is not your fault. This is not on you. we need to leave this place before there is more damage."

"What about Blue?’’ he asks.

I am worried about him too but this is his home. He will be fine as long as we are out of here. That is the most important thing. I need to get Rex out of here before he is hurt.
