The Werewolf's Vampire Mate Chapter 21-25

Chapter 21: See things for what they really are.
Beau.

He goes out of the room and I go into the bathroom to have a quick shower. The water is hot, and as I close my eyes letting it run over my body; I think about him and how far we have come. Being with him is easy, I don’t worry.

I get out of the shower and Lanis is sitting on the bed with a dazed expression. He is biting his nails. I didn’t know he had that habit. I smile because I am finding out more things about him and the more I find out, the more intrigued I am with everything that he is.

“Hey,” I walk over to him and plant a soft kiss on his lips. He grabs my hands and holds unto them tightly “Is everything okay?” I am worried. He manages a faint smile. I can feel it, he is scared. My heart beats to his pain. He needs to talk to me “You can talk to me” I remember how his brother came to drag him earlier. I am only wearing one of his boxers.

“Something happened. Last night when I went to help Rus out. Some people died. I didn’t kill them; I swear.” he is rambling. I don’t understand what he is saying but it is scaring him. I don’t want him scared; I will protect him.

“Whoa. Just breathe okay,” I sit down next to him on the edge of the bed and he welcomes me into his arms. Tears fall down his face and I am angry with myself. Fuck, why does he always cry when he is with me. I am supposed to make things easier for him but it seems like all I do is make them harder “Why am I crying? Shit,” he lets go of my hands and starts to wipe the tears off his face. He is spiraling.

“Babe. Look at me,” I pull his face until he is looking at me. “Talk to me. I will never judge you” I assure him. He stops crying. Or at least he attempts to. “What happened last night?” I genuinely want to know. He mentioned something about people dying. That has me on alert.
