Chapter 76: The bad guys never die easy.

Beau.

As the water hits my skin, I feel the relief I didn’t know I needed. It is been days since I last felt water on my skin. I didn’t know how valuable this moment could ever be until now. The things in life that we take for granted. I have been in the shower for longer than I should. it is so serene, something I didn’t even know I needed.

Alanis left me hard and dry, I know he is trying his best to control himself. He doesn’t want to make this about sex. Frustratingly, I still can’t believe I have been unable to have sex with him for so long. This whole mating process has been one long drag. I am getting tired of it all. I want to do this on my own. I want to mate with him so badly.

I hear the door open, my heart stops for a millisecond because I am scared that It could be someone other than him. I don’t need an ambush right now. I am still not strong enough. What if Cassius found me?

My heart races against my chest from just the thought of it. I leave the water running and get out of the shower. Grabbing a towel, I put it around my waist because I need to be prepared. No matter what happens this time, I have to try.

I stay behind the door. The best thing I can do is a sneak attack. Catch whoever it is off guard. I take a sniff and his scent surrounds me. releasing a sigh of relief, I walk out of the room, knowing full well that It is Lanis. He looks up from a duffel bag and smiles at me warmly.

’’I got you some of my clothes.’’

He stretches a shirt out for me and I walk over to him with the towel around my waist. He pulls me into his arms and I take a long sniff, letting his scent fill me in completely. He smells like home, the home I long for. the home I belong to. I don’t want to ever lose that home.

’’I also brought food.’’

For the first time, I notice other bags on the table. There are a total of four bags. I can smell the meat immediately. My body reacts to the scent, eager for a taste. I don’t know how he got this but I am grateful. I let go of him and walk over to the table. I notice the one that has the meat and grabs that one immediately. It is so bloody, so enticing. This is exactly what I need, this will make me feel like myself again.

’’Where did you get this from?’’ I ask him intrigued.

He never ceases to amaze me.

This is my man.

’’I got it from an abattoir. I had to do a to of convincing,’’ he tells me proudly ’’What are the odds that there would be one so close by,’’ he beams in question.

I shrug become I am a salivating mess over this. I need to dive in before I lose my mind. he nudges with his head, his way of telling me to dig in. this is the meat of a cow, it is still bloody and juicy. All meat, no bones. I sit down on the chair in front of the table. note that I am still in a towel but all my attention is on the display in front of me and all Alanis’s attention is all on me. I grab a piece of meat and it literally feels like heaven to me. this is another moment; where I appreciate the little things in my life. food, I never knew a day would come where I wouldn’t be able to hunt but Cassius made that possible. I lost a part of myself because of that man, I promise, I will get it back and I will make sure I kill him.

He will not torture another wolf as long as I live.

I place the meat in between my lips and the first bite is heaven. Pure and unfiltered bliss.

Lanis watches me as I devour all the meat in the bag and slowly, I feel more energetic. I feel a little another piece of me being put back together. All thanks to the man in front of me.

How did I get so lucky?

’’Is it good,’’ he asks me with a little piece of meat stuck on the side of my mouth. I try to get it off but he reaches for me and wipes it off for me. I grab his hand before he can take it away. There is a mess on my hands but he doesn’t seem to mind as I smudge the bloody mess unto him.

’’Thank you for this.’’

He furrows his brows as I pull him closer ’’You need to stop thanking me. I would do everything and a million more in a heartbeat. You are my life, the only reason why I am living.’’

His words are like a comfort to me. the best feeling ever is to love and be loved in return. The fact that he has the same emotions and they drive him closer to me, is everything.

’’I will get him,’’ I assure him.

He shakes his head ’’You are not alone. We will do this together. you have to trust me. There’s no I. We will fight him together and this time, we will win.’’

He is the most encouraging person I know. This man is the love of my life. I have never been more grateful to the deities as I am at this moment. I will never take him for granted. I will always be there for him; I hope to live a long life with him. I wish to wake up next to him, I wish to go to bed every night in his arms. I want to be stronger, a better fighter, to protect him. I have a list of things to do, to become better, better to be proud to call him mine.

I will make sure I am all the things and more for him.

*********************

We get back on the road and it takes another couple of hours to get to his house. All through the drive, there are thoughts roaming in my head. There is no time to waste, I have to go back home. Make sure everything is okay with the pack. I have been gone for too long and they must all be so very worried.

I asked Isabelle about it and she has been avoiding giving me an answer. I can tell something is wrong from all their expressions on their faces. I don’t want to go too far and think it is something serious when it might just me minor, so I have been trying to avoid assumptions that are farfetched.

Eligio parks the car in the driveaway and they all shuffle out of the car one by one. I stay seated and Lanis watches me, almost like he knows something is up.

’’Are you okay?’’ he probes.

I nod.

Shaking his head ’’I can tell something is bothering you. Remember, we promised to communicate?’’

’’Yeah,’’ I admit defeatedly with a loud huff. He waits for me ’’No one is saying anything about the pack. Did something happen?’’

His eyes dart away from my mine and everything becomes clear. There is definitely something wrong with the pack.

’’Is rex okay, Jabi, what are you not telling me?’’ I inquire immediately.

He runs his hands through his hair. This is harder for him that I thought. I need him to tell me what happened and I need to know now. I am still the Alpha. I am the one that was supposed to protect the pack. I wasn’t there but I am here now.

’’Your uncle.’’

The last time I saw Fallon, he was bleeding beneath me and almost dead. I hope he is about to tell me that he is dead. All the bitter parts of me silently pray that those are the words that are about to come out of his mouth. I know better, I am used to disappointment, I know things won’t be that easy. He is a bad guy but they are usually the hardest to kill.

Deep down I know he is not dead.

I could wish for that but it will never happen.

’’He took over the pack.’’

His words are earth-shattering. Hear breaking and mind-numbing. I can’t even imagine that they will let him into their hearts knowing full well he killed my father. something must be wrong, there is no way. I won’t accept it.

I let go of his hand and get down from the car.

Alanis runs out with me and grabs my hand to stop me from my outburst. I am getting angry, when I am angry, I can’t stop myself. This is me reacting to the fact that the man who killed my father could be accepted by the people I am supposed to call family.
