Chapter 292
Gyles.
He is hesitant about opening up and it seems like something is stopping him. Almost like a part of him doesn’t want to tell me the things he knows.
Show me what you feel, you don’t have to use words.
I send him a mind link. I am in his head right now but it feels like there is something blocking a lot from me. I want him to relax. I want him to trust that he can do this. I grab his hands in mine and he squeezes softly. The comfort is all that gives me courage. Having him here with me is all I need.
I don’t know how to.
He answers me and that is progress. We aren’t using words anymore. The fact that we are in our own little world, away from everyone is all that matters. He just needs to let go completely. I take a couple of deep breaths. I am pushing it. I know I am very weak right now with the lack of blood in my system. I am very hungry and I have been trying to stay strong for Blue and Gyles. I don’t want to break down now when they both need me.
Once my breathing is steady, I open my eyes again. He is watching me with a hopeful expression on his face “It is not working, I can’t tell you what I know,’’ he cries.
I nod in understanding. I don’t know what is wrong but whatever spell was put on him is strong. I also know that nothing is impossible. I can get through to him. I can get inside his head if he lets me.
“Close your eyes,’’ I tell him calmly. I don’t want him to think this is a do or die. We will go at his pace. He just needs to believe that this will work. He needs to believe that he is strong enough to fight this. Rex has been taught all his life that he is weak. Being an omega doesn’t make you helpless. Being an omega doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything on your own.
He obeys me and I watch him as his chest rises and falls. He is in a state of meditation. This is the calmest he can be with all that is going on. I keep my eyes on him, the more I look at him, the stronger the pull is. This is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to feel this connection and with each breath, I feel closer to him.
Now I want you to show me who did this to you. Don’t use words, don’t think too much about it. Just give me a face and then a name.
I tell him with a mind link. My eyes are still on him and as the sweat trickles down his forehead, I see how hard this is for him. I see the amount of energy he uses as the veins in his neck starts to pop out. He is still holding my hands, I feel him shake and shiver. His palms suddenly becoming sweaty. This is taking lot from him and I can’t stop this because I need him to do it. I need him to let me know. Once and for all I want to know who is messing with him and I want to eliminate that threat.
The light in the room suddenly becomes too bright. Almost like flashes. I close my eyes as the flashing lights become too much. I know that this has something to do with what he wants to show me. I am open to see whatever he wants to show me. I see nothing but the flashing lights and in that instant, a face pops into my head. I recognize the face. The woman that came into Blue’s room earlier. There is an evil smile on her face, one that terrifies me. She is his aunt. The person that is taking care of his mother. The same person that must have tried to kill her.
Why are the closest people always the biggest threat? I open my eyes immediately and Rex’s are already open. Red and wide. He lets go of me immediately and jumps off the bed before he even says a word. I know something is wrong. I know that he has lost himself again.
Fuck.
I try to reach for him but he is fast and his speed is unmeasurable as he runs out of the room with so much force, that it takes a lot from me to go after him. I can’t let him go if Blue returns and finds out that he left because of me. He will never forgive me.
Maybe I should have waited for him like he said I should. I did this rashly like I always of and now he is gone. I run until I see his shadow outside. The sun is setting in the grey sky. My heart is racing. He has stopped running but he is still a couple of houses away from me. The streets are empty. Luckily there is no one around to witness this. I can’t let him go. The biggest mistake I will make is letting him out of my sight.
I use my super speed until I am in front of him. The sweat is now pouring down his forehead. His eyes are still open and he seems half here and half somewhere else “Rex, baby, come back to me.’’ I plead with so much desperation. He looks away from me and to the other side of the street. Running away will be easy for him. Right now, he is stronger than I am. I am so hungry and it is making me weak.
Just take him out.
My wolf urges me with that suggestion, basically telling me to attack him to submission. I take a step toward him and he watches me quietly. My eyes never leave him as I try to touch him. To me, he seems like a robot. Almost like someone is controlling him. My fingers brush against his skin but he is quick to dodge me. He charges towards me and tosses me so far away from him. My back hits the concrete wall of a fence and I feel the pain instantly. He doesn’t stop at that and I am unable to do anything because I feel so weak. I try to dodge him before he comes at me but like I said, he is just stronger and faster than me. This time, he reaches for my neck and I cough out blood as he crushes my windpipe.
My eyes stay on him but I have no words. There is nothing to say to convince him that I am on his side. He is too far gone. His expression is cold as he squeezes even harder.
With one last crush, I blackout with his face engraved to my mind.
