Chapter 316

Gyles.
I don’t trust Major.
I don’t like the way he looks at Blue. There is something suspicious about him and it is not because I am jealous. Yeah, he looks at my mate like he is the only one in the room and that irks me but there is also the fact that he is so helpful. Blue doesn’t seem to believe him. There is doubt in his eyes. He doesn’t trust him, so I won’t trust him either.
He says he is going to help us but what if he is the one that caused everything. Why is it so easy for him to help? How does he have all the solutions to everything?
I watch him as he walks over to the bed. There is a serious expression on his face as Blue puts a chair beside the bed. I don’t like that they are doing this when Rex is asleep but he seems to think that it will ease up on the pain that this process is going to cause. I don’t want Rex to be in pain but I also want him to know what is going on.
Blue walks over to me and I whisper into his ear “We should have woken him up.’’ I don’t like doing this behind his back. Blue is not even in his right frame of mind. He is worried and he just wants everything to be resolved. I have to be his eyes right now. I have to focus on the things he wouldn’t.
“We are here. Nothing will happen to him,’’ he assures me. a lot has happened to Rex. I don’t want to add anything else by trusting the wrong person. I know we don’t have a choice. There is no other option but to use the book. Blue is so insistent on not using it, I think that will be the only option after all this trial and error.
I just want the quick solution; I want this all to be over but I have to be submissive for once in my life. I have to trust Blue because he is strong, he is smart and I believe that he can conquer all his demons.
Major, sits on the chair and I watch him as he reaches for rex, he wanted to do this while he was asleep but the second his hands are on him, my mate jumps off the bed until he is far away from him on the other side of the bed. he trembles as he tries to figure out what is happening.
His eyes meet Blue immediately and he furrows his brows in confusion “what is going on?’’ he manages. I still can’t hear anyone but Rex. he might be in someone’s body but I see him. I feel him, his scent is still very strong.
Levine tried to deceive us. Make us hurt him thinking he was her but the bond we have between each other is stronger than her deceit.
Blue walks over to him “Major is here to help,’’ he grabs his hands gently as he explains the situation to him.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?’’ he asks confused by the secrecy. I didn’t want us to do this while he was asleep but there is no need to point fingers.
“We thought it would be better if you were asleep.’’ I interrupt with a faint smile. He has nothing to worry about. As long as I am here, I will always protect him—I will make sure nothing happens to him.
Rex nods after my interruption and then faces Major “Thank you for doing this,’’ he smiles at the warlock.
I roll my eyes because I still don’t like him. I doubt I will ever like him. He must have a motive for doing this. there is no way, he is just being nice. No one is ever just nice or helpful.
“Blue is important to me. will do anything for him,’’ he turns to Blue and then winks at him with a smile. The jealousy in me spikes up.
“Can we get this shit over with?’’ I ask wanting him to be out of this room and this house. i turn to Blue and he coughs nervously.
“G is right. Come on Major, he is awake. Let’s just get this over with.’’ He walks back to me and Rex shifts back closer to Major. Major brings out a tiny bottle from his pocket and I watch him as he stretches it out to him.
“What is that for?’’ I ask suspiciously.
He turns to me and smiles “To help him with the pain. Just trust me for a couple of minutes…can you?’’ his smile widens.
I will never trust him.
“So, it is up to you. you don’t have to drink it if you don’t want to but you will basically shed out of this skin. it is going to hurt like a motherfucker,’’ he explains to Rex, who looks terrified right now.
“Just think about turning. That should ease the pain,’’ Blue suggests. I mean, shedding sounds terrified but if he can come back to us, then I think it should be worth it.
“Turning isn’t the same as shedding,’’ Rex retorts and collects the bottle from Major “I will stick to the pain relief,’’ he downs the whole bottle immediately, not even thinking about anything but easing his pain.
I smile because that is the Rex I know. He is rational and very protective but he is a baby when he is scared. I grab Blue’s hand in mine because this is going to be hard to watch. The last time this happened. I felt his pain and it didn’t even work. Now, he is going to be awake and I am going to watch him suffer through it.
The minute Major starts my heart thuds against my chest. He has his hand on his temple, the same way he did. Once he starts his chants, the beating of my heart goes faster. I watch the scene and as his eyes become white, I the tear on his skin.
I close my eyes because this is a lot.
Blue squeezes my hand and I turn to him. this is affecting him as much as it is me. I don’t know how much more of this I can take.
