The Werewolf's Vampire Mate -
Chapter 87: My everything
Chapter 87: My everything
Beau.
I open my eyes to the sounds of birds chirping outside my window. Slowly I stretch out the sleep out of my eyes and look around the room. Alanis is not here, he was beside me when I closed my eyes. The sky is still dark which makes me check the clock by my bedside table.
It is 5 o’clock in the morning.
I stand up from the bed in search of Lanis. He said he was going to stand guard. He and his brothers. Our enemies are the vampires but they are also my saviours. This whole ordeal has made me appreciate what I don’t understand. I was so closed-minded before Alanis became my mate. Now I see things clearly. The vampires are not the bad guys. People in general are bad. You can’t judge everyone based on some people.
I don’t judge the vampires anymore.
I have no right to.
The door opens before I can walk out of it and Lanis manages a smile when he sees me. He looks a lot paler than usual. I don’t even know if he has eaten. ’’Hi handsome,’’ he wraps his arms around my waist and I welcome him wholeheartedly.
’’Did you sleep well?’’ he asks still in my arms.
I nod immediately because I actually did. Maybe it is the fact that I knew I could count on him. I knew he would protect me so I had nothing to worry about for the whole night. I am grateful for him giving me that opportunity but now I have to do the same. I need to take care of him.
’’Have you eaten?’’
He pulls away from me still smiling brightly. I don’t really think I have anything to smile about. I am at the point where I am defeated. I don’t know what to do, I don’t believe in myself anymore. I know for a fact that I cant handle this on my own.
Everyone seems to believe in me when I don’t even believe in myself.
’’Not yet. El went over to get blood,’’ he explains.
I don’t want a situation where he will get weak all because he hasn’t had blood. These are the things I need to remember. What use am I, if I can’t even take care of him?
’’Don’t worry about me right now. I made breakfast for you,’’ he winks but I am not happy. Here he is, taking care of me and I can’t even do the same.
’’You haven’t eaten,’’ I interject.
He nods ’’I will.’’
I shake my head ’’I can’t eat if you haven’t. Who is going to take care of you? All you seem to be doing is taking care of me.’’
He smiles ’’You are a part of me. I have to take care of you.’’
I release an exasperated sigh ’’I want to worry about you. Will you let me?’’ I plead desperately.
’’You know, you need me right now more than I need you. You were kidnapped and tortured. I have been in the comfort of my bed all this while. I can handle a little bit of negligence from you and myself right now. YOU are my priority for now.’’
I don’t know how to feel about this. having someone that wants to take care of me. I never had that. I never had someone that would put ME before themselves. I really don’t know how to feel about it.
He walks me into the kitchen and there is a feast right in front of me. a lot of meat—all cooked through. I need to go hunting but how do I with everything that has been happening. there are sunny side up eggs on a plate, sausages, pancakes. A fruit salad in a big bowl. When I say this is a feast, I am not even exaggerating.
’’When did you make all this?’’ I ask him shocked.
He smiles proudly ’’I started an hour ago. Darrien and Olin are on guard right now. He has been nagging all night about leaving Jabi alone.’’
’’Why isn’t Jabi back home?’’
I want to know because I am worried about the kid. I know this is not the safest place for him but at least he will be here, where I can see him.
’’You know Darrien won’t let him stay here.’’
I nod.
I can understand.
I have known since the day Darrien came over to help Moe. The way he looked at Jabi was obvious to me. there was this intense look that only someone that had a mate could understand. I understood immediately even though he didn’t at that point.
I send Rex a mind link to come and eat and he takes a couple of minutes to walk into the kitchen. He is dressed in a pair of grey shorts and a sleeveless shirt. His red hair is extra curly today, his glasses are pressed to his face with a little misty cloud on them.
’’Good morning,’’ he says as he sits down next to me.
I ruffle his hair because I have missed him a lot and almost losing him yesterday was a wake-up call. There is no time for dwelling on what happened. I need to set a meeting with the people that are still alive and strong enough. We need to do a mass burial for the ones that are gone. Right now, there is no time to even mourn them.
There is no time because the moment we relax, we end up losing more people. I have a plan. A plan that involves Jules. He is the only one that can help in taking down Cassius.
At least right now I think he could help. I need to wait for him to come first and then we go from there. He should be here in a couple of hours but I need to prep everything first.
The door opens and Bell’s and Justin walk into the kitchen. I have never seen Bells this tired in all my life. there are dark circles around her eyes. Her hair is up in a messy bun and she has on the same shorts and sports bra from yesterday and her feet are bare.
Justin looks the most rested. Dressed in a pair of black shorts and a sleeveless white shirt and Adidas sneakers. His hair is brushed neatly against his head. I guess he didn’t have to deal with everything yesterday. I am glad he was not here because I know for a fact that he would’ve fought. He is not the strongest but there is a bravery in him, that most people don’t have. He is not the kind to sit back and watch everyone.
’’Baby,’’ I call her by what I always call her and she walks over to me and wraps her arms around my neck. She sits down on my leg as she grabs a piece of sausage from my plate.
Alanis is watching us but there is no jealousy in his eyes. I know he gets a little uncomfortable with how close we are but he trusts me. the only kind of love I have for Bells is platonic and nothing more. She is like a sister to me. I love her to death.
’’When will Jules be here?’’ she asks.
I shrug as I take a bite of the steak in my plate ’’He said he would be here in the morning. We just have to wait.’
She nods still eating off my plate. I add more food to it because I need her to eat up. We need all the energy we can get. There is no waiting around for Cassius anymore.
’’Has anyone seen or heard from Fallon?’’ I ask.
I can’t forget about him because he is still a threat to me. No matter what happens with Cassius. Fallon will always be at the back of my mind. the moment I find him, I will kill him.
I swear to God I can’t let him walk around and act like he isn’t the start of the shattered life I am living.
’’He is nowhere to be seen. That motherfucker disappeared like a fucking coward that he is.’’
I am not the only one that hates Fallon. I still don’t understand how he became the Alpha. I will find out in the meeting how they all allowed the person that killed my father to call the fucking shots?
Too much is happening in such a short amount of time, that it is all overwhelming. I need to take a breather and gather all my thoughts. Alanis is next to me, seated and watching us as we eat. This man is everything to me, the fact that he did all this in the crack of dawn even though he wasn’t going to eat is everything.
How do I ever thank him enough?
He reaches for my hand under the table and squeezes it assuring. I let out a soft breath as he shares a mind link with me.
You got this babe.
I believe him completely.
