The Werewolf's Vampire Mate - Chapter 601 - The Calm After The Storm

Chapter 601 – The Calm After The Storm

Gyles 

It is over. 

A couple of hours have passed since the burning but Blue has been quiet all through the day. Darrien has already set out for the community. I knew he wasn't going to wait for us. His whole mind and body were fixed on getting back to Jabi and I understand how he feels. I mean, without him, we wouldn't have even been able to do shit. 

We are all in his room. Together but somehow, it seems like everything is just registering into his mind. In moments like this, it is best to let the person deal with it on their own. I know that much but I really want to be there for him. 

Major is handling everything that has to do with the coven.. I mean, it is the best thing. Blue doesn't want to have anything to do with this place and Analise's death just seals the deal. 

"Hey,'' I walk over to the bed, Rex looks up at me first even though my sole attention is on Blue. He is lying down on the bed. His body is all healed up from the bruises of earlier—same as me. Whatever Analise did to us must have worn off after her death. I still can't believe that she is actually gone. For the first time since we got here, I feel like I can finally breathe. 

My eyes look up at Eleanor, she is watching me with this look of dismay. I know we have to still deal with her and everything else. I don't know what we need to do though. 

"Blue,'' I call his name again and this time, he looks up at me slowly. I watch him as he slowly manages to sit up on the bed. I want to reach out to him and hold him. I wish I could make him feel better but I also know that this can't be on me. He has to deal with this on his own. 

Rex is on the bed, next to him but it doesn't look like that is making him feel any better. 

I reach for Blue, slowly pressing my palm on his cheek and he doesn't fight me or push me away. I watch him as he closes his eyes gently, taking steady breaths. I am touching him for my own pleasure. I want to be closer to him, I don't know if it is working. In less than a second, I feel his hand on mine and this gives me a kind of relief that I didn't know I needed. His hands are warm, unlike mine. I feel my heart thudding excessively against my chest as he pulls me closer and into his arms. Maybe he is not the only one that needed this. 

I thought he was the only one that felt all the pressure from what happened but having him hold me, is doing things that I didn't know I even needed in the first place. We almost died, for a while, I almost gave up. I didn't think that we would come out of the mess that I had caused. I silently blamed myself when we were alone in that room because it was my fault. I had pushed and pushed. I made us come back here and I couldn't even do anything to protect them. 

I risked my happiness, just to believe that I was a good person. After the kind of life I had led, I wanted to do better. I wanted to be a better person and I ended up risking the most important people in my life, to prove something that I didn't even need to. 

I don't know when the tears start to fall but the minute I feel Rex on me, the embrace is complete. The two of them in my arms. 

It is a bliss that I don't ever want to let go of. 

There are no words. We don't even have to say anything. After the storm, this is the calm moment that we have and we are allowed to let it out. I literally owe my life to Rex. He is the one that saved us. He is the one that was strong. 

The person I called a coward. 

"I am so sorry,'' I cry into their arms. 

They know what I am talking about because I feel them just as they can feel me. Everything they feel at this moment, I feel it too. 

The relief, the pain. All the mixed emotions that are looming over us. I don't know how long I stay in their arms but a knock on the door comes through loudly. 

I stand up as I detach from them but this time, I don't feel empty. I feel like we can finally focus on us and leave the problems behind us. 

Once the door is open, Major manages a smile "Hey," he states. 

He looks over my shoulders and to Blue and Rex. They are seated on the bed. Their eyes fixed on us. "I need to talk to you for a second,'' he calls over to Blue. I move away from the door so that he can enter the room and he doesn't even hesitate. 

"That room you were talking about, I found it but I think you need to see something,'' he breathes out. 

My heart stops for a second because I start to worry. Eleanor is next to me again, I don't know why she is still here but I assumed that killing her would set them all free but it doesn't seem like that has happened which means there are still things to do. 

"What is it?'' Blue asks him immediately, slowly standing up from the bed. He is dressed in a fresh pair of clothes. His hair is packed up in a bun. 

The exhaustion in his eyes is obvious but we are all exhausted. 

"I think this is something you need to see,'' he tells him. 

We all look at each other as curiosity gets to us. 

What could it be?
