Chapter 516: My way or the highway

Blue

"I don’t know how to tell him."

"But you need to tell him though. Why are you silent about this?’’

I stop in front of the door even though I know it is not a good thing to eavesdrop. They are having a conversation. That conversation is about me and it seems like Gyles is keeping something from me.

"He will not be happy when I tell him. He doesn’t want to go back.’’

Go back where?

"The way you are saying things will give him no choice. This is not really about him. It is about you and you know that we both support you, one hundred percent." Rex tells him.

I still don’t know what they are talking about but I feel like I have an idea. Maybe this is about the coven. I don’t want the coven to get mixed up in this.

"I know you are afraid of this but I can’t let you live like this. You have to say something to him. This is not going to be easy but I don’t see any other way. I know you can do it’’.

I watch them. I watch them talk. They are talking about something without me and I just don’t know how I feel about it.

I take a step into the living room and they both turn to me at the same time. I see the guilty look on Gyles’s face.

"You’re back,’’ he stands up from the couch immediately and trots over to me. He puts his arms around me. "We missed you so much.’’

I smile at him as I welcome him into my arms. I need him to talk to me about whatever is going on in his mind but I don’t want to be the one to ask him.

Does that even make any sense?

"I have something to talk to you about,’’ he breathes into my ear. I can sense the tension in the tone of his voice.

He doesn’t actually want to say whatever this is.

"I am here, what is wrong,’’ I grab his hands in mine and my eyes shift to Rex who just has a straight expression on his face.

"Let’s sit down," he pulls me to the couch and I follow him.

My eyes dart between the two of them. I am the only one that doesn’t know what this is about and the feeling of that makes my heart jump.

"What is this about?’’ I say as I sit down next to him.

He takes a deep breath "This is about the coven. This is about Eleanor." he says instantly and I sigh because I knew this was going to happen. I don’t want to think about the coven and all the things that Gyles has established.

’Why are we having this conversation?’’

I genuinely want to know why he keeps digging into this. I get it, he was being haunted. The people in the book were taunting him but after the ritual, they stopped showing up.

That must mean something.

Why do we have to rehash all those things that I will like to put behind me? He is holding unto all that has happened and I just want him to let go of it all.

"Because we need to go back.’’

I shake my head immediately "There is no reason as to why we would need to go back to that place.’’

He furrows his brows like he is confused "What about Eleanor, what about all those people that were murdered in that room?’’ he asks me.

I sigh slowly running my hands through my hair. "Gyles, you are trying to be a hero and you are not thinking about us. Your family. We need to just focus on protecting ourselves. If we go back to the coven. I can’t guarantee that nothing will happen. That place is a mess. Bad things happen there and you have seen it first-hand." I pause with my eyes fixed to him, hoping to talk some sense to him. "Why would you want to go back to that?’’

He looks at me with a sad expression on his face "This is not about us. You know that.’’

He is being stubborn and I don’t want to argue with him. I know there is a reason why he wants to go back. I just don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to go back and Gyles can’t see it now but he will when something happens and it is too late. I don’t want to think about Eleanor. I don’t want to think about what happened to her. It is too much to think about.

Instead of rehashing all that stuff, I just want to focus on us.

I don’t want to think about all the things that my own mother has done.

"I have to go back,’’ he crosses his hands over his chest with a scowl. I turn to Rex. "Talk some sense into him. He is doing that thing again.’’ I say as I roll my eyes and I notice that he is now looking at my hands clenched in his lap like he does when he is nervous.

"Gyles," I look at him directly as he turns to me, "You have your reasons. Us going back will not help you. You have to stop. I will be here to protect you but if you do this, I don’t think it will end well. I don’t think it will end well.’’

He bites his lip as his eyes dart to Rex and he looks away from me and he can’t look me in the eyes.

"Don’t make me do this without you, please.’’

I sigh because as usual, he is not listening to me "I am not doing this with you. So, if this is what you want, you are on your own."

I walk away from him even though I am bluffing. I know, Rex knows and Gyles knows that I will never let him go there on his own. I might be pissed off right now but at the end of it all, I will always protect him.

I might not like this one bit but with Gyles, I feel like he doesn’t even give me choices.

Fuck.
