Chapter 550
Blue
It is almost two in the morning. I am fucking exhausted right now but I have to keep this smile on my face because that is the only way to keep the facade that I have brought with me.
“The elders are going to need some convincing.’’
He is trying to justify why there is hesitation in his eyes. He wants me to be indebted to him.
He wants me to think that he is doing me a favor.
I am just here to find the room. To make sure she doesn’t hurt anyone again. He can’t tell, so that is a good thing. We are in the living room of the house. He is seated on the same chair that my mother used to sit on. I haven’t really confirmed that she is the one but I feel things. They are subtle, some things that she would do, I can see little traits and maybe it is in my head, maybe deep down, I want her to be alive.
I need closure, I need to tell her all the things on my mind.
This is the closure I need and a part of me is excited that I might get it.
I want her to suffer. I want her to feel all the pain she has caused everyone and maybe that is cruel of me but that is the place that I am at.
“If there is anyone that can convince them, it is you.”
When I was younger, I used to think that the elders had control over the coven. They were the ones that always made the final decisions.
He scoffs “You have to be the one to convince them. I do not have the power to do that’’
She is testing me and I am not going to fail. I am not going to let her even think that I know what is going on.
“How do I do that?’’ I ask him innocently.
He stands up from the chair and walks over to mine. I watch him as he sits down on the couch next to me. That sick smile is still on his face.
“I will set up a meeting with them tomorrow, all you have to do is show up and tell them all the things you told me today. I will get them to see your side of things. Analise was an important person to the coven, you are her son. You were never really going to be banished.”
Oh, I wouldn’t say that I was banished. I left this hell hole on my own but I wouldn’t tell her that out loud.
Your mother is a bitch.
My wolf growls to me.
I have always known that she was but I have always given her excuses. Reasons why she is the way that she is. Now, I can’t even do that anymore because I know all the things that she has done and they are not justifiable.
She is a mobster and she needs to go.
“Okay, I can do that. Thank you for this opportunity. I hated that I left the way I did. I should have never done that in the first place.”
“You thought you were special but you are just like everyone else here.”
That should sting but it doesn’t.
I know that I am special, I know that I am better than she would ever be and these are the kind of words that she would use to hurt me in the past but not anymore.
I am not going to fall for her hate.
Her jealousy.
She is all alone, plotting and scheming. I have two amazing people that love me. I have everything I could ever ask for.
I am fucking special, even though she didn’t see it.
“I know that now, it took leaving to get to this point and it will never happen again. I am sorry for everything.’’
He reaches for me and rests his hand on my shoulder. It is supposed to be comforting but it is nauseating.
“I have always thought of you as a son. Analise would have wanted me to take care of you and that is why I am even having this discussion with you.”
I watch him as he continues “I will do all the things she wanted for me. I will act as the father that you never had.”
I have a father.
Anger seethes into me. I can feel it boiling up inside me. I don’t want her to ever talk about my father. He has done more for me in these past months than she ever has all her life.
“Thank you.’’
He stands up from the couch and over me “I need to go to bed but your room is as it has been, I made sure not to clear it out.”
Oh, because you always knew that I would come back?
“Thank you,” I repeat.
He nods “Get some rest and I will come and find you tomorrow. Things might not go as planned, they might not accept your mates into the coven but I will push for you.”
I want to say something but I don’t want to ruin things. I want to tell her that we are a package deal. Wherever I go, they go.
“I need them with me, they are my family.”
He smiles “I am your family, this coven is your family but I understand. I will see what I can do but I make no promises.”
I watch him as he leaves and the anger recedes. I hate this so much. I just want to attack her and get to the bottom of this but I know that I will not win right now. I have to do this strategically and the best way to do this is to keep her, my enemy, close to me. Make her think that she can trust me and then attack.
That is the only way that I can win this fight and get my life back.
That is the only way that I can free Gyles from the book of evil.
