Chapter 274

Gyles.
I open the door to the room and Blue is staring at me with a somewhat angry expression on his face. Rex is in the shower. Looking out of the window, the sky is dark and night is here. I didn’t answer any of his calls because I didn’t want him to come and look for us.
“Blue,’’ I manage because I am not really ready to face him. He walks into the room and I take a step back. Unexpectedly, he pushes himself into me and then smashes his lips to mine. Caught off guard my eyes remain open because it hasn’t fully registered that he is kissing me. After everything, the first thing he does is kiss me.
I don’t know how to handle it.
His hands grab my waist and my mind goes blank from the touch. I never really understood the power of a kiss until this moment. Not thinking about anything but the person attached to you. His tongue slides into my mouth and I let out a soft breath to express my emotions. My heart is racing, my palms are sweaty as he closes the door with one of his hands and pushes me to it. He presses to me and I moan out in pure bliss as he slides his tongue into my mouth. At this moment, I want more. I want him more than anything. I missed him and I didn’t even realize it. after a couple of seconds of heavy making out, he pulls away from me slightly and rests his head on my forehead. His breathing is heavy, his eyes are closed and my heart is still pounding.
“Thank God you are alive,’’ he breathes out finally. I don’t recognize his voice in this moment. The breathing, the huskiness. He sounds like a different person but all he cares about is the fact that I am alive.
“I am sorry,’’ I blurt out because I know a big part of him must be upset with me. he might want to act like this is not my fault but, in the end, it is all my fault. I am the cause of all the problems. The reason we are where we are.
He furrows his brow and for a second, I think he is genuinely confused “What are you sorry for Gyles. I messed everything up,’’ he speaks up but I just can’t believe him right now. He has done nothing but somehow, it seems like we are all choosing to take the blame. The door to the bathroom opens and Rex walks out but there is no surprise on his face. It almost seems like he knew he was coming.
“You called him,’’ I figure it out before they say anything.
He has a towel wrapped around his waist as Blue detaches from me and walks over to him. He pulls him into his arms immediately and my heart melts at the scene in front of me. I see the tears as they fall from his face. The pain he has been holding in all day. I haven’t been enough for him and I know that. Just the same way I have needed Blue all day. I didn’t think I could handle it all on my own. A big part of me wanted to call him, beg him to follow us back to the community. It seems like that will always be a better option for a home that his real home.
“Get dressed okay, I need to take you back with me,’’ he breathes out.
“What?’’ I blurt out because I can’t just easily accept that. They both turn to me. Rex looks terrified, Blue on the other hand is back to being angry with me. Yeah, I know this is my fault but I have to protect Rex. I have to make sure we make it back to the community in one piece.
“I need to take him back to the estate,’’ he repeats like somehow that clarifies everything. I walk over to them and shake my head immediately.
“You can’t do that. It is not safe for him there. He needs to go back home. We need to go back home.’’ I tell him.
He sighs and then let’s go of Rex, facing me. His eyes are tired and there is a look of frustration in them. The fact that I am the cause of this expression just makes me sad.
“Do you even know what is going on?’’ he asks me.
“I know that your people locked him up. I know something happened to him in that place and we need to get him as far away from that place as possible.’’
He nods “I get that but Rex isn’t really himself right now. I need to make sure that he doesn’t hurt anyone again.’’
“How do you plan on doing that?’’
“Someone used magic on him. We have to make sure he is alright before I let him go back to the pack. You have to let me do this.’’
I get what he is talking about but I can’t stand to see Rex in that cage and I know for sure that he can’t either. So why does he have to take him back to the coven? “Why can’t you just check him here, why does he have to go back?”
I know in his eyes, I am being stubborn again. The usual stubborn Gyles but I am carrying the blame for what happened solely and I don’t want it to repeat itself. I need to get him back home, just as I brought him here.
“You have to trust me, Gyles. I will never let anything happen to him,” he pauses and then runs his hands through his hair “I will never let anything happen to you too. Just give me a chance to prove myself. Can you do that?’’
He is promising now but at the end of the day, it seems like a lot of things in that place are out of his control. Almost like he doesn’t have a say in anything. I don’t want to be stubborn to him. I want to do and say things that will make him happy and even though I am still unsure about everything, I want to make him happy.
I love him.
“Okay.’’
