The Werewolf's Vampire Mate - Chapter 647 - Our Universe
Chapter 647 – Our Universe
Beau
He knows I am upset and he is just walking around me in the room.
I need him to talk because I need to know what exactly he did.
"How was the meeting?'' he asks even though he knows that I left before it was over.
I remain quiet.
He is not going to get a response from me until he tells me what he has done. Until he assures me that he didn't hurt anyone.
"Are you really going to give me the silent treatment?" he slides closer to me in the bed. he is still dressed in his wet clothes. I have had a shower.
"You're getting the bed wet,'' I tell him.
He chuckles as he pulls me even closer. Even though his clothes are wet, his warmth is all I feel. I want to just let things go and just embrace him. he is back and that is all that should matter.
"Do you want me to let go?'' he asks.
I sigh, running my hands through my hair. As his hands wrap around my waist tightly.
"What did you do Lanis?'' I ask him finally because even though I am angry. I need to know if this is something that I will need to do damage control on.
"I didn't kill them if that is what you are asking,'' he pulls away from me slowly and I turn to him.
"I didn't say you did. I just need to know what you did.''
He sighs "Why am I the only one that is so upset. Why do I want to go back to their house and finish them off,'' he shouts angrily.
Okay. He is still in his feelings about this and I have to thread this lightly. I have to make sure I say the right things. I have to make him feel better because he is my priority. He will always be my priority.
"Hey,'' I grab his hands in mine, pulling him closer to me. I see the tears as they well up in his eyes. I don't know if he feels regret for whatever he must have done but I trust him. I trust that he wouldn't do anything terrible.
"I am angry. I am fucking pissed that for once in my fucking life, this is out of my control. I can't make everyone on this earth accept us and our lifestyle. I can't convince them that love will never be wrong. I can't shield those beautiful babies from the outside world. there is nothing that I can do and I am upset.''
When Colm narrated the incident to me. I felt like screaming. I felt like hurting the man that would indirectly hurt my kid. I wanted to kill him and his family. I was so angry but I had to stay strong. I had to think about things strategically.
I have a family, one that I never want to ever lose. So, I can't be Beau I used to be. I can't be reckless.
I have to think about them and that is all I do.
Every morning when I wake up, I think about them. I think about how happy I am, how happy I make them.
They are my universe.
Fuck.
Everything else is inconsequential.
"They hurt him, they hurt my baby,'' he cries and I let him. Lanis rarely cries. He likes to be strong for me and I appreciate him. I appreciate him so much but for once, I want him to cry. I want to let it out and I want to be there for him.
I want to love him enough to take the pain away.
I don't know if it makes sense but I will try. Every day., I will try to be the one that takes his pain away.
I hold him as his tears pour and I feel the pain slowly wash away with his tears. We are so connected, so connected that I can feel him. I know what he feels and right now, as I hold him in bed, I know that everything will be okay.
After a couple of silent minutes, he speaks up "I didn't kill them." he says in the dead of the night.
I didn't have to ask him to know that.
Lanis might have been upset but just the same way I would only think about him and my kids—he was thinking too. He knew he had to live right to look at those kids in the eyes.
He wasn't a murderer and he wasn't going to start.
"I hurt him so much. I wanted to kill him but I didn't." I look at him and his eyes are on mine. he is still in my arms. "I just wanted him to hurt and that didn't even give me the satisfaction that I wanted. It didn't make me feel better." He confesses.
His words are honest.
He is pouring his heart out to me.
"I realized that it was pointless. Fighting one person, when the whole world was a vast fight that I wouldn't win.''
"We don't have to think about the world. You, me, and the twins, we are our own world. We don't need acceptance from anyone else,'' I tell him.
He nods "It still hurts. I feel so helpless."
"You aren't helpless. You are far from helpless. They know that you love them and trust me, that is all they need. They will have other friends. there will be people that wouldn't care. All you need to do is love them. all we need to do is be there for them.''
This is how I feel.
I have created this orbit. One that comprises of the pack and my kids. I don't care about the outside world. I don't care about the things that are happening. I don't care about the people.
I only care about this orbit and hell it has made me the happiest man on earth.
He is all that matters.
