The Werewolf's Vampire Mate - Chapter 641 - A Different Kind Of Worry.

Chapter 641 – A Different Kind Of Worry.

Alanis

Four years later. 

"Papa,'' Colm runs over to me. his eyes are blotched and red. My mommy instincts kick in immediately. I don't know what happened but I am ready to murder someone. 

Colm and Colin are six already. I can't believe it has been six years already. 

I see the blood on his shirt and I start to worry even though I know that he will heal. They are still young and growing, so healing isn't as fast as it is with me. it is different with them and I have come to learn that. I already know that whatever it is that happened must have been serious.

Colm rarely cries. 

If this was colin, I wouldn't be too worried because he is an emotional soul and that is the only way he can express himself.

"What happened,'' I go down to his level as he shows me the bruise on his elbow. At first, this confuses me because I didn't get a call from their school so I don't know how they let this slide "Who did this to you?'' I add because my heart already feels too heavy at this moment. 

It is just a bruise that will heal in a couple of hours. I shouldn't be this upset right now and I don't even need to show him how I feel. 

"I can't say,'' he starts to wipe his tears from his face as Colin walks into the room with both their bags. Rex walks in behind him and I grab Colm off the floor. 

"What happened?'' I ask him because he needs to explain to me what this is. 

"He wouldn't tell me and when I tried to talk to his teacher, he begged me not to,'' Rex answers walking over to me. 

I furrow my brows in confusion "He is bleeding, you don't listen to him when he is bleeding.'' 

"He kept screaming and begging me not to do anything. what did you expect me to do?" he shrugs nonchalantly. 

This is my son. 

My child is bleeding and all he can do is fucking shrug at me. I get that he helped me pick him up but this is insane "Papa, please don't do anything. it will only make things worse."

"You have to tell Papa who did this to you. Someone hurt you and I need to know.'' I tell him calmly. I don't want to scare him and most days, they have to remind me that they are not babies anymore. I get that but they will always be my babies. 

"It will heal. See it looks like it is already fading,'' he tries to smile but his eyes are so red that all I can see are the tears he has been shedding. 

"You have to tell me Colm, you know I hate it when you keep things from me,'' I try to keep a stern expression on my face but all I can muster up is worry. 

It seems like someone hurt him and he is too scared to tell me who it is. 

I need to know so that I can make things better. 

He looks away from me and I can tell I am not going to get anything from him. Colm is stubborn. I see Beau in him. 

He is so much like my husband that it is uncanny. 

"Go on into your room, I will be there in a second,'' I tell him, slowly dropping him back to his feet. He sniffs out as he walks in the direction of their room and I turn to Colin "Hi baby,'' I walk over to him as Rex takes a step back. 

"Gotta go,'' he waves as he walks out of the house. I don't say anything to him because I want to get to the bottom of this. 

I don't know what happened but I need to know. 

"Hi dad,'' he manages softly. 

"Do you want to tell me what happened in school today?'' I question.

Colin is smart. 

He is so smart that sometimes, it scares me. what he lacks in social skills, he gains in his brain. Most days, I can't even talk him into doing what I want. I don't know if he will give in today. 

"Colm fought during recess,'' he shrugs, easily giving me the information, I wanted. 

I don't know why he is telling me but he doesn't seem to care. 

"Why?'' 

He shrugs again. 

"Can I go freshen up? I am hungry,'' he goes straight to the point. He doesn't beat around the bush. He doesn't have the time to dilly dally. Beau is at a meeting with the neighboring packs. He wouldn't be back until the weekend. 

"Yeah, go on to your room. I will make something for you both to eat in a second." I tell him and he doesn't even look at me as he walks in the direction of the room. 

I go into the kitchen and I whip up a quick sandwich for them and a glass of blood. They need the blood more than they need tuna and bread but at the same time, I want to give them the chance to enjoy food. They still have the hunger for food. They still enjoy it., so I don't want to take that experience from them. 

My phone rings and I answer it immediately. 

It is Beau and his face pops up to the screen "Hey, the kids back from school yet?" he asks. 

He was always going to call to see them after they came back. he always calls at this exact time. 

For them. 

"Yeah, they are in their room.'' 

"What is wrong?'' he deters and I guess my face gave it away. I don't want to tell him because I am worried that this will cut his trip short and he can't leave the bi-annual meetings. 

This week's meeting is being held in the green spring community.

He has to be there. 

"Nothing's wrong," I lie. 

He scoffs "You know I can tell that something is wrong. So, it's between you just tell me before I drive home to you right now,'' he warns me and I know that is not an empty threat. 

What I don't know is if I should actually tell him about this.
