Chapter 71: Lanesville Meadows.

Alanis

This is my last chance.

This is the only shot I got to get him out.

I will not fail.

Thanks to Eligio and that sign, I saw where he is. In Cassius’s head. He thinks he is the only one that is smart, he thinks he is the only one that is always one step ahead.

This time I won’t let him win.

Lanesville Meadows.

I know where is it.

It is a monumental place.

Everyone knows the mansion.

Suddenly everything is clear to me.

In the town of Mayville. The family that was killed in the 1700s. This tale is as old as time. Brutally murdered and then burnt to ashes. The story is known to basically everyone that reads the news. The Brightwood family, basically owned Mayville and all the businesses. They were the richest in the town. Everyone feared them, there were suspicions of them being witches or devil worshippers. Now it is clear. They were just vampires.

Cassius was part of their family.

Okay, maybe not part but he was involved with their son Gyles Brightwood. Everything suddenly makes sense. All the anger and hatred. The stories I’ve heard about Cassius all add up. He hates the whole werewolf breed. He wants them extinct.

This is his way of cleansing the world of monsters.

He is judging the whole kind all because of the mistakes of one fucking pack. He is the monster because killing someone like Beau is a monstrous thing to do. Beau couldn’t hurt anyone intentionally. He is the sweetest person I know, the kindest person I have ever met. He believes in people more than he believes in himself and now one man wants to wipe the world of ever getting to fully know him.

I will not let him succeed.

I will save him.

The car is full, El driving, me sitting in the passenger seat, Darrien and Isabelle at the back. The drive is quiet. There is a plan, it isn’t rushed like the last time. I won’t go in there blindly. There is no option for failure. The only thing I intend to do is get him out. I will handle Cassius once I am sure he is safe. Maddie caught me off guard the last time. She was my weakness at that point and I was betrayed by her. This time, I plan to keep my eyes and ears completely alert.

Any sounds, any movements, I will be ready for it.

So, I and Darrien will scout the house, stealthily while Eligio and Bell’s will be outside on guard duty. I know it is going to be surrounded. I plan to take down anyone that is in my way. This time I don’t care. I will hurt each and every one of Cassius’s Minions.

’’So, we going in there for the kill?’’ Darrien asks. This is his speciality. Sneak attack for the kill. Darrien would have been the first person I took with me for the Maddie heist if I thought he would want to help. Now that I know he is on my side. Now that I know he is one of my brothers for real, I trust him enough to tag along.

Darrien is fast and strong. He is the most indestructible one of us. He has no fear in him. Never really thought he was scared of anything.

’’Anyone that gets in our way, dies. But we have to stay invisible until we get him out. I don’t want to take any chances until he is in my grasp.’’

This is my warning to them.

Once Cassius finds out we are there, he will get to Beau first. He will use Beau to confuse us and I don’t need any confusion right now. I have to be in the right frame of mind. The sole purpose of this is to get him out. To make sure he is safe.

’’Do we kill him after?’’ there is a gleam in his eyes.

I feel the same as he does but I am not killing him until I am sure that Beau is safe. I can still feel him breathing, I know he is still alive. He said he was going on this journey with me but I lost him a while back. He is not strong enough to stay in my head for a long time. I fully understand, the fact that I could talk to him in the first time is enough for me.

’’That dude has got to go,’’ Bells exclaims.

I nod in agreement; I will do everything I can to get rid of Cassius. He is a threat to my family. I can’t have him looming over us, always around. The only solution is his death.

We stop at a gas station to fill up our tank. Bell’s goes to the restroom and Darrien goes in to get snacks. He said he has something to talk to me about before we left, this can be my chance.

I go into mart and he is at the counter, he looks up when he sees me and a smile crawls up his face. I walk closer to him and he hits my shoulder gently ’’We will get him out," he gives me assurance. I already know that because this is the end game for me. There is no either-or again.

’’You said you had something to talk to me about when you came back with Rex,"

He sighs ’’I don’t think it is important now," the man behind the counter watches us as he waits for Darrien to pay. Darrien grabs a couple of bucks from his wallet and tosses it on the counter.

"We can talk about it now while El fills up the gas."

He nods and grabs my arm softly, leading me out of the mart with the bags on in his other grip. He stops in front of the building in a corner "What’s the situation with Jabi?"

At first, the name doesn’t ring a bell but after a few seconds, I recollect who is talking about. It’s the kid in Beau’s pack.

"What do you mean?"

He shrugs "Is he safe in his pack. I know he is an omega but what does that mean for him?"

Why does he care?

With a smile "I don’t know, is there something you are not telling me?"

"Maybe." he sighs and let’s go of my arm. I didn’t even know he was still holding unto me. He drops the bag of snacks and drinks on the floor and runs his hands through his hair "I asked him to stay with me. He is not happy where he is?"

His words shock me, completely.

I knew there was something up with him when he helped me with Moe. I could see it in his eyes. The look he gave the kid but he is accepting this faster than I thought he would.

"How is that possible?" I question because I want to know what is going on in his head.

"I don’t know, I’d keep him in the apartment," he explains. I fully understand what he is talking about.

Darrien has a place he escapes to sometimes. That is one of the reasons why we all feel a little detached from him. Usually, he stays there more than the family home. Now he wants to keep the kid there?

"He’s not some piece of property, that you keep."

He nods "I know, shit I don’t know what I am thinking but did you see him today. He looked like he hadn’t eaten in months."

"Why do you care?"

He shrugs again "I don’t know, there is this possessiveness I feel when he is around. I want to take care of him. I can’t do that when he is in the community."

It is all clear to me.

I know what this is.

This is the same way I feel about Beau.

"Do you know what this means?"

I want him to think about it. It is so obvious, but he needs to think about deeper than he is. This is not just some random person that he wants to take care of. He doesn’t know it yet but they are linked.

"I don’t know. I just need your support right about now. You are the only one that would get it. With the relationship, you have with the wolves."

This doesn’t have anything to do with me, even if I wasn’t involved with Beau. This would’ve happened to him. This is fate, and no one can tamper with fate. I don’t tell him that though.

"What did he say?" I urge him remembering his first comment.

"Jabi?"

I nod.

"He is terrified. He doesn’t fully trust me even though I have done nothing but show him that he can."

"Give him time. He is just a kid. He doesn’t understand what is going," I explain.

He can’t push him to do anything he is not ready for. This is the time for him to get closer to him, he can’t scare him away when he hasn’t even explored his feelings properly.

"What is going on?" he asks me, watching intently.

"You have to figure that part out on your own."

This is something he will have to accept on his own. He sees it in my eyes, deep down he already has all the answers.

He doesn’t need me.

Beau is the only one that needs me right now.

He is my priority.
