Chapter 285: A different person

Gyles.

I think I messed things up.

Is it possible to make someone worse than they were before you offered to help? When I convinced Rex to let me do the compulsion, I did it to get him out of the funk he is in. if he knows who enchanted him—then we could get the person to undo it. for a second, it was working. I saw the look in his eyes, I felt the release I usually get when I compel someone. We were interrupted but that shouldn’t have changed anything.

"Hey,’’ I grab his chin and he looks at me. His eyes are red. It looks like he has been crying but no tears have dropped out of them. Right now Rex is messed up. The more I look at him, the more I feel him slip away from me. The man I know and have come to love is not in this body.

"It didn’t work,’’ he manages and stands up from the bed. I watch him as he walks away from me and to the window in the room. His back is facing me but I can’t look away from him. Blue said I should keep an eye out for him. In simple terms, he basically just wanted me to make sure that he didn’t leave the room. It has just been a couple of hours since he left and I have already messed things up.

I stand up from the bed and walk over to him. I stay behind him not wanting to creep up to him "It worked. You remembered,’’ I tell him because I was there. I knew the moment when he got his memories back. He is keeping it for me and I don’t know the reason why.

He turns back to me. There is a frown on his face. His eyes are still red and blotchy. Now he just looks angry. "Are you saying I am lying?’’ he asks coldly.

I shake my head "I just think you don’t want to tell me who it is." I manage because I don’t want to accuse him of anything. I don’t want to make it seem like I don’t trust him. I might not think he is being sincere right now but I know he must have a reason. Why would he just keep this from me, there must be something bothering him. Something that he doesn’t want to know.

"I don’t know anything Gyles. I am fucking tired of all this." He pushes me and walks over to the other side of the room. He is trying to give me space. Almost like he doesn’t want to be next to me. I am not giving him the space he needs until I get to the bottom of this.

I walk over to him and he runs his hands through his hair "Please just leave me alone Gyles. I am exhausted." He breathes out.

"I can’t leave you alone. There is something you are keeping from me. Something that I might need to know.’’ I tell him.

He frowns and then turns to me "I don’t fucking have to tell you anything. I don’t understand why you feel so entitled." He walks past me again but this time I grab him by his arm. Completely unexpected, he pushes me again and this time with so much force. I fly over to the other side of the room and my back hits the wall roughly. I see the shock in his eyes as I hear the crack of my bones. I know it will heal but he just hurt me.

Rex doesn’t come over to me. He doesn’t try to help me. I watch him as he walks out of the room. I was supposed to keep him in the room but I failed.

Just like I fail at everything.

I don’t know how long I sit on the floor. I don’t get up, I don’t think as my heart races in my chest. I hear him when he comes back into the room. He doesn’t budge or try to talk to me as he crawls into the bed. I don’t know how to handle this because a big part of me blames myself for everything.

I don’t know who that man is.

I am the one that brought him here. I am the one that forced him to come with me and now he is treating me like shit.

I know it is not his fault but at the end of it all, it is a reminder that I mess things up.

You promised to stop with all the self-blame.

My wolf reminds me.

I know that but I don’t have a choice right now. How do I not blame myself for this? Rex was fine in the community but I manipulated him into coming here and now he is going through shit. Things that I don’t know how to get him out of. He hurt me and didn’t even flinch. He left me on the floor to heal. He didn’t care. That is not the man I love.

He is not Rex now.

My wolf tells me what I already know. I get up from the floor just as Blue opens the room door. I know that Rex is pretending to be asleep. He isn’t really sleeping right now but I guess it is better to avoid us than actually talk about things. He doesn’t want to let me know what happened and I don’t think he will let Blue know.

I walk over to Blue and he watches me confused—probably wondering what happened. My arms are around his waist instantly as I take him for a hug. I guess this whole thing is taking a toll on me. I don’t know how to handle not being able to help him. He welcomes me into his arms by squeezing me tightly. It means a lot to get this acceptance from him. Even though I want both of them, I will take one of them for now. I want to stay strong and believe that things will come around.
