Chapter 303: Do right by you

Gyles.

I don’t know what happened but I am pretty sure he felt him. I know Blue, he might act stuck up and controlling sometimes but I have come to love him and all that he is. I will do anything for him and Rex and maybe that is my problem sometimes. The fact that I will DO ANYTHING.

The loyalty I have is probably why I keep messing things up. I haven’t been the easiest person to have by his side but I want things to change and I know I keep saying that but maybe this time will be different. I just need to communicate with him more. I need to be able to tell him things before I take action. I have this thing where I act first. I know it is not such a good thing but I have always been this way. I have always been terrible at communicating and thinking rationally. I want to change but changing is difficult.

"You felt him.’’

He looks away from me. he is still in front of me, on his knees. His eyes are red and for the first time. I look at him—like really look at him. I see how tired he is. all this must be taking a toll on him. I know how he feels. I am in the same shoes. I want this to all end.

I reach for him and cup his face in my palms. He lets out a soft breath, I feel all of him in this moment and I wish I could take his pain away "We can get him back,’’ I manage. I am not sure how to do that but we need to get him back to his senses first. Whatever Levine did to him must be putting him in a trance. He needs to snap out of it before we can even start to think of how to get him out.

He sighs "How?

"He needs to be aware of us first,’’ I tell him.

He nods, my hand is still on his face. I don’t want to let go and it seems like he doesn’t want to either. "He doesn’t remember us. How do we get him to remember?’’

Blue is forgetting who he is. when I first met him, I saw him as wise and strong. He could tell and do so many things. Things that I didn’t even know were possible. He literally has magic inside him. there should be spells and potions to get him out of this trance. There should be a way to get him out.

"You have a gift. One that I don’t. you need to use it,’’ I tell him in an attempt to remind him of who he really is. he closes his eyes and then opens it.

"There is a lot of dark magic involved. One that I am not sure I am strong enough to fight.’’

I nod "just because your magic is pure doesn’t mean it isn’t strong enough. You haven’t even tried. Try first like you have been telling me." I remind him of all the things he has said.

"It is not that easy. I am at a dead end.’’ He confesses and I know it must be hard for him. this must all be taking a toll on him and I don’t even know how to get him out of this funk.

He slowly stands up from the floor and sits down next to me "I hate that he is locked up. I hate that there is nothing I can do to get him out of that cage."

He seems to be forgetting that he is standing in as the leader of the coven. He can take charge. Make Rex feel more like the person we know and less like the monster everyone thinks he is. "You have the power to get him out of the cage. Get him to see that you are not a threat, help him remember." I remind him of just how great he is. he needs to start seeing himself in a different light. Somehow, Blue has a lot going on. He has been trying to act tough in front of us—I completely get that. he didn’t want to show weakness in front of us. We are supposed to adore him but at the end of it all. We have to be transparent to each other. We have to trust each other.

"I do, I should get him out of the cage,’’ he smiles faintly and I like I am the one encouraging him.

"We have to keep an eye out for him though. We can’t let him wander away from our grasps like the last time.’’

He nods and gets up from the bed. "I will order them to bring him back to the house. We will keep him in one of the empty rooms, is that okay?’’ he asks me, almost like he is seeking my advice. I nod because it seems like a good enough plan. I just don’t want things to backfire like they have been doing all this time.

"I am sorry about everything Gyles. I am sorry for being so controlling and unsupportive. I have been a terrible mate,’’ he tells me. my heart races against my chest because I feel like I am the one that should keep apologizing to him. I am the one that has messed a lot of things up.

"Can we start a new slate? Do things differently?’’ I ask him as I stand up from the bed and face him. His eyes stay on mine as he nods incessantly.

"I promise to do better. I promise to do right by you and Rex. I won’t fail you guys again.’’

His promise is sincere. I know that we have had a lot of rough patches but I plan on making things right. I want to do right by him too—and Rex. they are all that matters to me.

"I will get him to the room next to this one. Can you stay with him?’’

I nod.

He smiles. "I want to go back to the library and do some research. There must be a way to reverse this cloaking spell she put on him. he is not in his own skin and I have to find a way to get him back to his old self. I can’t do it.’’

His newfound confidence is comforting to me.

We can make this work.
