The Werewolf's Vampire Mate - Chapter 608 - Nothing To Dwell On
Chapter 608 – Nothing To Dwell On
Blue
I don't want to even deal with this right now and Major is not saying anything. He came into my room and he hasn't explained anything. I don't know what he could possibly want to show me but the walk to the potion room feels like the longest walk I have ever had to take.
I thought this was over. In my mind, I had dealt with the worst by killing her, so now, I don't know what the hell this is and why I am even needed. I don't have any plans on staying in this place. I don't have any reasons to. I literally have no family in the coven anymore.
I would be deceiving myself if I actually say I belong here. I am going to stick to the community. That is all that matters to me. My family are my mates—Gyles and Rex..
"What is this about?'' I ask Major because I wish he would just give me a straightforward answer.
"It just is something that I think you need to see on your own."
Rex and Gyles are both beside me. Gyles is the most interested in whatever this is. There is this numbness that I feel. Like her death hasn't actually sunk in. I have already mourned her death. This would not be the first time that she would die, so I don't see any reason as to why I would need to even mourn this time—since I am the one that even killed her. For now, all I know is that we need to leave this place. Whatever decision is being made can be made without me.
"So, there is a book in the room and a bunch of other things. You need to see it for yourself."
We get to the potion room and he walks in first. I watch him as he walks into the door "I think the fact that she is dead shows the true picture of things. This place was never there before. Like the door, it was hidden. Now it is just in plain sight.''
He points out but I already noticed that.
We walk into the door until we get to the hallway. The door to that room is open and I smell the stench that comes from it before we even get close enough to it. I hate the smell. It sickens me that she even used to spend time in that place and not even feel any guilt. My mother is the worst kind of person out there and these are the reasons why I am unable to mourn her death.
We get to the room and I see what he is talking about. Him mentioning plain sight is all clear. The bones, the bodies, some are even fresh. They were all there, all along. In plain sight. Things that we didn't see. They are all clear as day.
"What the fuck,'' Gyles exclaims and I watch him as he leaves the room hurriedly. He was the first one that came in here. It traumatized him, so I can't even imagine how this must feel now.
I let him leave the room and my eyes dart to Rex. He is closer to the door and he doesn't even make a move to come inside.
"This is worse than I thought,'' I manage still in shock at the sight in front of me.
My hands are shaking. I don't want this to affect me but I have no choice. These people were murdered. Their blood is tainted on the whole place. It is sad and I can't even imagine that she would do such a thing and not even have any guilt. I wanted the remorse, the begging but until her death, she didn't even show any signs.
"The book is still here, the one she was using. It has a lot of darkness in it.'' Major adds calmly. I turn to the table that the book was on and it is still there. It almost seems like it is glowing. Trying to attract another person to it.
I won't even blame the kind of magic for the person she became. My mother was just a heartless soul and nothing could have ever changed that. There is nothing to blame for the kind of person that she was and I need to remember that.
"The people in here, how do we set them free?'' Gyles's voice comes through from the door and I turn to him slowly. He doesn't look like he wants to be here. I don't even want to be here.
"The spirits in here are crying but the thing keeping them trapped is the book. For now, I don't know how to get rid of it. I don't think it is possible to get rid of it but there must be a way to release them.'' Major informs us.
"They are not in that book, they are in ours,'' Gyles interjects. He is passionate about this topic. Almost like he can't just wait for all this to be sorted.
"I know what you mean, but your book is what is protecting them right now, her book is what is keeping them trapped."
I understand what he means and suddenly it looks like Gyles does too.
"How do we change that?''
"I can't tell you now but with research, I could find a way to at least bind the book now that she is dead. Give me a couple of days to sort it all out.''
"Do we have to be here,'' I ask because the sooner we can leave the better for us all.
He raises a brow and I can see it in his eyes. He wants me to stay. Major will end up running the coven. They need a leader and he is the best option. I also know that he wouldn't want to do it on his own but I am the last person to even ask to stay.
I don't want to be here any longer.
There is nothing here for me.
