Chapter 229
Caleb's PoV
After being so close to Davyna, it took all my might to pull myself
together. Her scent is intoxicating, and not being able to be with her fully is driving me mad. My wolf, Kaius was also going insane, so as soon as she went into my bathroom, I finished getting dressed and left heard her call for me, but I was so focused on getting outside to shift.
As soon as I get to the wide open forest area behind the compound, I let Kaius take control. We shift and run out into the forest, branches and twigs snapping as our paws race over them.
After collecting my things from Caleb's place, I storm back into my own suite, throw my shit down and I call Marcella immediately.
"Where are you and Sage?" I say, not giving a shit that my tone is
outrageous and bitchy.
"At my suite, Sage is showering. Why?" Marcella replies quietly.
"I took your advice, you know. I took a chance, and Caleb just full out bailed on me." I hear shuffling, a door close, and then a knock on my door.
"It's me, open up." I hear Marcella say on the phone. l answer it and hang up my phone.
"What do you want?" My guard is back up now, full force and I'm pissed. I don't know why I'm so angry, but rage just courses through me, unrelenting.
"Easy....what happened?" She says as she closes the door behind her.
"He just up and left me is what! We... had some type of moment at his suite and then I went to shower and when l came out he was gone. I saw him in the hallway and called for him and he didn't even look back." I spew frantically, a mix of anger and confusion
"Davyna, relax. He probably needed to shift."
"What are you talking about?"
"His wolf needed out. It can be catastrophic if he doesn't let him out, especially after emotionally charged situations. His wolf feels everything he does. So if you guys were close, it probably triggered his wolf and he became agitated" I remember back to those golden yellow eyes.
So that was his wolf. He could have said something! I start to pace around.
"What is it with me and him.. and me and Vincent? I'm losing my mind here! I hardly know them, but yet I'm drawn to them. One minute I can control myself, and the other I"
"Davyna!" Marcella rushes over to me as I pull my fist out of the wall and cradle it in my other hand.
"You're hurt"
"I'm fine Marcella. Just get away from me." I lie.
"Don't you dare think you can talk to me like that Davyna Blackmoon." I look at her and her eyes are blazing red. She grabs my uninjured hand and pulls me down to the couch.
"Stay put, I'm going to get some first aid stuff." She hurriedly heads into my bathroom.
"I knew I shouldn't have bothered, I should have just kept trying to find the fucking vampire that killed my mom and just kept to myself" I hear a small gasp and Marcella is staring at me, first aid kit in hand, her eyes back to normal.
Fuck. She heard me.
"What about your mother? She was killed? By a vampire?" Marcella
questions, her gaze making me increasingly more uncomfortable by the second.
"It's none of your business." I spit out.
"Maybe not right now, but your hand definitely is." Marcella sits back down beside me and uncurls my injured fist. I wince in pain as she examines it.
"I don't think anything is broken, but you've got some deep
cuts here." There's a short pause and then she speaks again.
"Can l ask you a question?" She says as she delicately begins to clean and bandage my hand.
"Fine.!"
"Have you always felt this angry?" I look at her surprised. I sigh and lean back on the couch as she continues to work away on my hand. He really helps.
I look at her,
"I'm sorry." She shakes her head.
"No need. It was a long time ago, I've been able to move on. But I want you to know that I understand the pain. It felt like I was suffocating for a while." There's another pause before she says "There. Done. How does that feel?" I look down and flex my fingers.
"it's sore, but it's better. Thanks."
"Are you going to be okay?" I nod,
"Yeah..I feel a bit better actually."
"I'm glad. Actually, all of us were planning to go to the archives later today, Sage said she wanted to learn some stuff about us. Said something about her possibly coming to live here? Maybe it can help take your mind off things for awhile."
"Yeah it could, I guess. I know Sage has been looking into staying here permanently. It makes sense that she wants some information. In all honestly, I could use it too."
"Then come. Just be easy on the boys, okay?" I scoft
"No promises."
Vincent's POV
I'm relaxing in my suite when I get a mind link from Marcella. Allowing it through. l'm overly whelmed by Marcella's
Maeralla's tone as she speaks.
M- Davyna 's going out of control, you guys need to tell her soon, or do something. This poor girl. -
V- What happened?-
M-I was just with her. She punched a wall in her suite and hurt her hand retry bad. Something happened with Caleb and I'm aM- Davyna's gong out or control, you guys news to tell her soon, or do
something. This poor girl.
V- What happened?-
M- I was just with her. She punched a wall in her suite and hurt her hand pretty bad. Something happened with Caleb and I'm assuming he had to go shift. He left her by herself in his suite.-
V- Sounds likely. I'l see if i can get ahold of him. Any changes in plans for today?-
M- Surprisingly no. I got Davyna calmed down and she's down for going to the archives.
V- Caleb and I will go on ahead once l contact him. I'l message you
when you and the girls can come down.
M- Got it. Vincent?-
M- Be careful around her. She seems pretty unstable at the moment.
I break the link and place my head in my hands. It's not safe to tell her still, but it seems like the bonds between her and Caleb and even me are strengthening and she's having a hard time processing it. I thought this would be an issue, but I didn't think it would be this much of one.
Sighing, I try to mind link Caleb, but it doesn't connect. I grab a bottle of blood and head out through the compound, straight for the forested area behind it. If I know him at all, that's where he'll be. once I reach the tree line, I yell at the top of my lungs as I crack open the bottle.
"Kaius!" A few moments pass and I'm about to yell again when I
hear shuffling to my right and Caleb's wolf comes into view. I take a drink from the bottle.
"I need Caleb now. It's urgent" He huffs at me and I hear bones cracking back into place and then Caleb emerges from the trees, putting his sweatpants back on, carrying his shredded shirt.
"No time to get your shirt off?" I try to joke.
"What is it Vincent." He snaps. Okay, must of have been something big. Alright time to get back on topic.
"Did you walk off on Davyna?"
"I had to, I couldn't keep in control." I hear the shame in his voice. He's always hated that sometimes he can't keep control and keep Kaius settled. Alpha blood can be a curse sometimes.
"Well that's had some...consequences. Clean up and get to my suite. We can chat about it more once you're there."
"Why can't you tell me now? Kaius still isn't fuly settled down."
"It's a discussion to be had in private."
He nods and I make my way back to my suite and wait for him to arrive. It's only about 20 or so minutes until he knocks. I let him in and don't waste any time
"She hurt herself!" His eyes go wide in shock.
"What? How?" I rub my temples.
"Marcella tried talking to her after she came back from
your suite raging. She lost it and punched a wall. Apparently she hurt her hand pretty badly. I've yet to see it."
He goes to speak but l cut him off
"She's okay. Marcella handled it though, and got her calmed down enough to agree to come to the archives with us later:" Caleb looks away with a pained expression
"We're running out of time. The bonds are getting stronger, evolving faster then we possibly could have thought. It's getting harder and this up.
"And for her sanity". Caleb adds.
"Exactly. You and I are going to go ahead to the archives now. I'll text Marcella and tell her to bring Davyna and Sage along after. Give us a bit of a head start."
"Sounds good to me. This is getting unbearable." Caleb says as he opens the door.
"You're telling me." I reply and we head out for the archives together bring Davyna and Sage along after. Give us a bit
of a head start."
