The Werewolf's Vampire Mate
Chapter 560: Confession

Chapter 560: Confession

Blue

He is shaking.

His body is cold.

Rex is never cold but I understand how overwhelming that must have been for him. I might be acting tough right now but I am scared shitless.

Analise was waiting for me.

It seems like me coming back to the coven wasn’t my plan anymore, and it was hers. I thought I was doing the right thing by coming but now I see that maybe, we shouldn’t have come so blindly. We don’t know what the fuck we are doing and because of some ghosts, I have risked the life of my mates.

Rex is not handling things so well. I think maybe he shouldn’t have come at least. I know there is no way that Gyles would have agreed to stay in the community but now it seems like Rex never even wanted to come in the first place.

"What do you mean?’’ Gyles asks him in confusion.

I know exactly what he means and I accept whatever decision he makes "I don’t want to be here, I can’t handle this place and everything that is happening.’’

"I know what we just witnessed was scary but we got this. Don’t let that deter us from the mission." Gyles is trying to convince him, I don’t think it is a good idea. It seems like he has made up his mind and I don’t want to convince him. I would have preferred if the two of them had stayed back and just knowing that Rex wants to go back home is comforting.

Rex pushes away from me and I raise a brow as he goes to a corner in the room. His hands are still shaking, it seems like he is freezing. I just want to hold him until he calms down but it seems like he doesn’t want that. His eyes are red, tears are falling from them and all over his face.

I hate this.

"What is the plan? We walked into this place with no fucking plan.’’ He shouts, suddenly raising his voice. My eyes dart to the door of the room and the mark is still there with my blood.

"Calm down baby, we will figure this out.’’

He shakes his head, wiping the tears from his face. I haven’t seen Rex in this way before. He always looks like he has everything under control. He tries to be the backbone of the three of us but I think the book was just too much for him to handle and at the end of it all, it is my fault.

I should have done it on my own. I wanted to include them, I wanted us to take this ride together but at the end of the day, there are some things that I need to handle on my own. This should have been one of those things.

"What do you want to do now, we are already here. This is already done. I don’t think this is the time to back down,’’ Gyles takes a step towards him. He is not listening to him. He is trying to convince him to change his mind and that is not what I want.

"Gyles, stand down. I will handle this." I glare at him. My voice is firm and dominant. He turns to me and I watch him.

He is panicking. We have to get him back to us before he loses it.

Gyles sends me a mind link.

Just stand down. Don’t manipulate him into agreeing to stay.

I walk over to Rex and he shakes his head immediately "I want to go home Blue. I am not as strong as the two of you, I am not cut out for this,’’ he cries intensely. I reach for him again and this time, he doesn’t back away.

Slowly, I wipe the tears from his eyes as he closes them "I know this is hard. I know that was scary and I shouldn’t have let you see that.’’

He opens his eyes again with the tears still falling from them "I can’t do this. I thought I could be brave, I tried to act like I was but I can’t do this,’’ he confesses.

Hearing him say this pains me because I wish I would have sensed this before we left the community. I thought he was all in and I wanted to include him but he didn’t need to be here to be included. I shouldn’t have dragged him along for the ride. I shouldn’t have just automatically assumed that he would want to be in this fight.

"I know,’’ I grab his hand in mine and he comes back into my arms "I am sorry for just assuming. What do you want to do now?’’ I ask him as I hold him tightly.

His breathing is uneven.

I can sense the fear as it emanates from him. My willed sense working in full force with him. Rex is not a fighter, he has never been and that doesn’t make him a coward. That just makes him Rex. He has his strengths and this is not one of them and that is okay.

"I want to go back home, I don’t want to do this,’’ he cries weakly.

My heart breaks because suddenly I know how hard this must have been for him. Telling me this, after all this time. It is not an easy plight.

I completely understand him and I want to fully support him. "Okay, we will sort it out. I just need you to calm down."

He nods and pulls away from me "I am really sorry.’’

"You don’t have to be."

He turns to Gyles, who is just watching us calmly. "I am sorry Gyles. I thought I could hold on until this is all over, I don’t think I can."

Gyles looks away from him and I can see that he is upset. I understand where he is coming from too but I also know that this is not the time for this.

I didn’t know how serious things were when I came to the coven but things are a lot worse than I thought. I don’t know if I can even win this anymore.
