The Werewolf's Vampire Mate - Chapter 593 - Strength In Your Weaknesses
Chapter 593 – Strength In Your Weaknesses
Rex
"Who is this?" Major bellows angrily.
"Rex. You helped me the other time. I am Blue's mate." I push for fear that he will hang up the call. I need to get him on board so I have to say the right things.
"Why are you calling me? What happened to Blue?'' he asks immediately.
I take a deep breath because I can feel Darrien's eyes on me. He is watching me and I am sure that he thinks that I will mess this up too. The same way we have messed everything up.
"I need your help."
I hear silence on the other side of the line and for a second, I think that he has hung up. I pull the phone out of my ear and see that the call is still connected.
"Are you there?''
"I already told Blue that I couldn't help him. Where is he? Why are you the one calling me with his phone?''
He sounds worried.
Why is he so worried?
I know Blue is like a friend to him but they are not really that close. So, I don't even understand this reaction.
"There is hope for everyone in the coven. We have a way to defeat Analise.'' I tell him instantly. That is the punch line. Analise is the threat of this place. the reason why they all ran away from this place. If they know that there is hope.
"I don't want to be involved in it. I can't risk my life anymore."
"I know that but you still have people in this place, people that you love. They are all in danger. I need a lot of people on our side. The more people that I can gather, the easier it will be to defeat her.''
"What plan do you have? I need to know first.''
I relay the plan to him over the phone with Darrien watching me intently. His eyes never leave me. I know he doesn't fully trust me to do this on my own. I know what a big help he is and I don't even trust myself to handle all this shit on my own. maybe that is why all those years, I have always stuck to Beau. I knew that as long as he was by my side, I would always be safe. Yes, I was mandated by his father to stay by his side because an Alpha was never to be alone but I benefited more from it than he did.
I stuck to him in school for fear of being bullied. I stuck to him in the community and hunts so that I wouldn't have to suffer what all the other Omegas suffered.
Now, I am with Blue and Gyles. They are not as controlled as Beau. I get that they are hybrids. It is supposed to make them stronger but they didn't have the same training that Beau did. They didn't live in a pack as he did. That is why it is different. I leave them to make the decisions but at the end of the day, they are not as Beau is and when they make mistakes or make the wrong decisions, there is nothing that I can do.
"This doesn't seem like a plan that is going to work.''
Darrien grabs the phone from me before I can even respond to him "We just need you here once day breaks, is it something that you can do. I heard you have a couple of the witches from the coven with you. Bring everyone."
His voice is authoritative and a part of me is afraid that he will scare the guy off. I know Major doesn't want any involvement in this.
I watch them as Darrien introduces himself.
I watch him as he communicates with him and then ends the call suddenly. He looks at me and a slow smile sprawl on his face. I can already tell that he succeeded. I don't know if it is luck that is on his side or if he is just good at convincing people but I couldn't have done that better than him. He rests his back on the wall "He is going to be there.'' He answers as he closes his eyes softly.
"How do you do it?" I ask him which makes him open his eyes.
"Do what?"
"Tell people what you want and make them do it?''
He shrugs "I didn't make him do anything. I just found a way to convince him. You just have to learn to say the right things. You have to be confident enough for people to trust you. You are not any of those things.''
He is not wrong but it still hurts. I should have been able to convince Major. I should have been able to make him come and join in on this fight.
I need to learn to be stronger. I need to learn to be better than I have always let myself be.
"Not everyone can be an Alpha but that doesn't mean you have to belittle yourself to think that you are the omega that they make you people out to be. You have your own strengths and you need to find them. Don't just stay in the shadows because you are scared."
His words are soothing. I've always known that I need to do better but I have never really given myself the confidence. Maybe it is time to do better but how to I do that.
"Are you guys going to leave once Blue helps you with the mask?'' I ask him.
He nods "My baby doesn't want to stay in the community. I only do what he wants.''
"What do you want?''
He shrugs "I want what's best for us.''
"I don't think you guys should leave. The community is the best place for you and him. trust me on that.''
He sighs "Jabi has an issue with the place. I just wish he could see that things are different. I wish he could come to love the pack now that he is different."
Every relationship has its turmoil. Even the put-together Darrien has his weakness and Jabi is his weakness.
