Chapter 318: Pushing me away

Rex

Everything is a blur but the pain is still strong. If I feel this way after taking the remedy that Major gave me, how would I have felt without it?

I am in another bed, in the room they kept me earlier. I don’t even know how the whole thing ended. I don’t even remember anything but the look of Gyles and Blue’s faces. The worry in their eyes. I could tell that watching the whole thing was difficult for them and the second they left the room, I noticed their absence. I feel Gyles next to me in the bed. I don’t know how long I have been sleeping. Everything is exhausting.

My whole body hurts.

He is holding me tightly, almost like he is afraid to let go of me. I know he is not asleep from the gentle caresses on my hair. His touch is like electricity, somehow, it makes me feel alive and I don’t want him to let go.

My eyes are still closed. I don’t know if it worked. I don’t know if all the pain was worth it and I know I can find out by opening my eyes and seeing for myself but I am scared. Scared that everything would have been for nothing. I feel like myself but I have felt myself ever since I woke up from that dream. I don’t want to be let down. I don’t want the disappointment of waking up and still being in her body. I don’t know Levine but I already hate her for doing this to me.

Gyles’s hand moves slowly on my hair and I take a deep breath to register his touch. I know he is watching me. I can’t feel his eyes on me. My heart races in my chest, being in his arms is everything to me.

I hear the door to the room open and Blue’s scent kicks in. it is strong as it travels through my nostrils and tugs at my heartstrings. I hear his footsteps and I know this is me being creepy. I am already awake. I should just open my eyes.

"He’s still asleep?’’ Blue asks. I feel Gyles move against me but he doesn’t stop touching me. His touch is doing wonders to my body.

"He has been through a lot."

"I need to talk to you about something,’’ Blue manages. I keep my breath steady because he must not want me to know about whatever he wants to talk about.

"I don’t want to leave him right now. I am still on edge about everything that happened earlier,’’ Gyles whispers, trying not to wake me up but I can hear him clearly as his hot breath hits me gently.

"We can talk here."

"Major seems to think he can help with the enchantment spell. I don’t know if I trust him yet,’’ Blue mutters with a serious tone. From the sound of his voice, he is unsure. I want to be included in this conversation but I am sure they see me as fragile right now.

"I don’t trust him either,’’ Gyles retorts immediately. Gyles will always be Gyles. He will always be stubborn and blunt. Right now, he isn’t hiding how he feels about the man that helped me. I don’t know how I feel about Major and that is because I don’t even know him. Would I have trusted him to help me, if Blue didn’t?

I don’t think so but now from their conversation, it seems like whatever he did, worked. I have to give him the benefit of the doubt because for now, he saved me, so until he does something wrong, I can’t condemn him like Gyles is doing right now.

"We don’t have to trust him. Remember we talked about doing this the good way?’’ Blue asks him calmly.

"Yeah."

"I think Major’s way is purer than the book. I know you think the book is our only option but I want to try and trust him first.’’

I can almost picture Gyles rolling his eyes "He has a crush on you?’’ he mumbles so low that I almost don’t hear him. Oh, I see. He is jealous right now. This doesn’t have anything to do with trust. He sees Major as a threat. So that is why he doesn’t like him. I don’t have any issues with Major liking Blue because I know that our mating is stronger than some little crush.

"But I love you,’’ I feel Blue climb on the bed as it dents to his weight "I love you and Rex, so I don’t have eyes for anyone else."

He is assuring him that he doesn’t have anything to worry about and from Gyles’s silence, I think it is working. Gyles lets go of my hair and I feel lonely as he shifts away from me. I open my eyes and they are in each other’s arms. This is the time to wake up but I like the sight in front of me. I like the place they are right now. After all the indifferences. After all the fights, secrets and manipulations. They are in such a good place. Coming to the coven was not a mistake. It was meant to happen. Getting them to this point makes it all worth it.

"I want you to take Rex back to the coven once this is over,’’ Blue says slowly pulling away from him. His one is firm—almost like he has thought this through. Possibly why he wanted to have this conversation without me.

"No," Gyles refuses immediately.

Blue’s sigh is loud "Please for once just trust me. Do this for me,’’ he begs, the desperation evident in the pain in his voice. I know this is not easy for him but he can’t just decide. He can’t just choose to do this on his own. He needs us—no matter how much he tries to push us away.

"I am not going anywhere without you,’’ I chose this moment to open my eyes and let them know that I am awake. The sound of my voice sends chills down my spine. I didn’t know I would miss it so much. They are both staring at me, my eyes shift to Gyles. He has a smile on his face.

Do not give in to him.

He sends me a mind link.
