Chapter 242
Vincent's POV
"But what?" I ask.
"They wouldn't let Davyna in, or tell her anything. I tried to keep he calm but she's pretty upset. I had her go back to her suite." I frown, thinking of how upset our mate probably is.
"You said we can go?" She nods and I get up.
"We need our clothes" Caleb chimes in.
"Yeah I mean I really want to go see our mate right now, but I'm not quite ready to show everyone here my naked ass!" Marcella
tries hard not to laugh but she can't hold it in. After she slightly composes herself she tells us,
"I'l go get them from the nurses. Be right back" She walks out and returns shortly after and throws us paper bags with our clothes in them.
"I'll see you guys out front, then we can go see Davyna." I nod as she walks out.
I get up first and go change in the bathroom in our infirmary room,
Caleb follows after. Once we're decent for the world, we go and sign a few discharge papers and walk out front of the infirmary where Marcella is waiting.
Davyna's POV
"Please let them be okay, please let them be okay." I say out loud to myself as i'm pacing around my living area of my suite. My heart is pounding, and I'm panicking. I can't lose them both. It will kill me. That's if the severed bond doesn't first.
This brings back so much from when Mom died. I remember these feelings all too well. The uncertainty of myself and my ability to cope, the nerves, frustration, anger. I can feel it bubbling up inside me and I try to keep myself in control. Just when I'm about to lose it, my door opens and Marcella walks in.
"Are they okay?!" l ask immediately, sounding so desperate, but I don't give a fuck.
She nods and steps out of the way and both Caleb and Vincent walk in behind her. I feel my whole body relax immediately, just in seeing them. They come further into my suite and Marcella quietly leaves us. I run to Caleb first and leap into his arms, hugging him tightly. I plant a kiss on his lips and then place my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
He lets me go after a few seconds and I turn and go to Vincent. He picks me up, and it feels so nice being in his arms. I wrap my arms around his neck and bury my face into his shoulder,trying so hard not to bawl my eyes out, but I lose that battle. Vincent's
scent comforts me a little, but tears start to fall and I try to hold hold back my sobs. He shuffles me around and I lift my head and he kisses me so softly. I taste the saltiness of my tears on his lips.
Breaking the kiss, he holds me tightly. "Calm down, love. We're okay We're here." Caleb comes up behind me and places small kisses in my hair, both of them not saying anything more, just comforting me as I sob and let it out.
It's been so long since I've allowed myself to really cry. I've always thought that tears were a weakness, and I hated anyone seeing me upset. So much so that I never let my had to be strong. What a turn this is, embracing my other emotions because of these two breathtaking, mesmerizing, and supportive men of mine
We stay like that until l'm able to compose myself, and then Vincent carries me to my room and places me on my bed, where they both sit on either side of me, staying close as I wipe my face and take deep breaths,
"We're sorry that you couldn't come see us and for making you worry" Caleb says quietly.
I sniffle and wipe my nose.
"They said I wasn't family.. was so tempted to blurt out that I was your mate and demand they let me back there, but Marcella convinced me to come back here."
"That would have been an interesting sight to see." Vincent chuckles.
"What happened? You both look fine." I say as l realize my head and push the loose hair from my pony out of my face
"Rogue wolves attacked the packlands and went after the team that was there with us. We jumped in to help. Both of us got injured from a few wolf bites, but it wasn't serious. The wolves seemed diseased or mutated so the council wanted us to come back and run some tests to make sure everything was fine. Some of the team didn't make it though." Caleb says as he rubs my back.
"As far as we know, we're completely fine. Our wounds healed, but they did so a lot slower then normal which prompted the council to bring you back early, in case there were complications." Vincent adds.
"I was so worried when Marcella got the cal. There wasn't a lot of
information at the time. I tried so hard not to panic, but after what happened with my mom years ago, I couldn't help but go back into that mindset. I thought I lost you both." I sigh and anxiously twine my fingers together. I break the short moment of silence.
"I need to say something." I say as I crawl to the end of my bed and turn around, now facing them both. I take a few calming breaths and start.
"I've hardly ever opened up to anyone, but with our circumstances I
can't keep this in anymore. I know Sage told you my mom died, but
there's more to it"
"You can tell us, love. We're here for you." Vincent says softly.
"Always." Caleb tags on the end.
"Okay..."I pause, readying myself to revisit this painful memory.
"Mom, Dad and I used to live on the outskirts of one of the main cities.
We were happy, content. One night after my mom had come back from
work, normal at the time, but we couldn't find the axe, I went to go find it and when did and I came back to her, there was a man who kept calling me
"special one" standing in front of her, eyes red like blood." I feel my heart start to beat faster in anticipation and I breathe heavier.
"Take your time." Caleb says, obviously noticing my discomfort and I see Vincent's face change into a pained expression as he states, "Vampire!" I nod in reply.
"My mom kept telling him to leave, but he refused. He kept dodging her questions and focusing on me. My mom then attacked him with the axe but wasn't much of a match for him. He tossed her aside and came after me. He got a hold of me, and he would have got me too, if my mom hadn't embedded the axe in his back when he was facing and trying to attack me."
I continue.
"He went after her again and I managed to get inside my house. But.." I clear my throat, trying to get rid of the lump that has
formed.
"He killed her. He ripped her heart out right in front of me." I
clutch my chest, feeling the pain of her loss come back and hit me full force. I look up at them both, and see surprised and pained looks on their faces and watery eyes
"She died saving me, and I swore l'd get revenge." My voices shakes with severe emotion as I reveal my reasoning for coming here.
"That's why you agreed to come here with your father." Vincent states. I nod.
I knew he'd get it almost immediately.
"Yes, the council investigated her death but nothing ever came of it. I've had so much anger and resentment towards them for not finding him. I wanted to come hare and find out what I could and try and find her killer her myself.
But look up at them both, and see surprised and pained looks on their faces and watery eyes.
"She died saving me, and I swore l'd get revenge." My voices shakes with severe emotion as I reveal my reasoning for coming here.
"That's why you agreed to come here with your father." Vincent states. I nod. I knew he'd get it almost immediately.
"Yes, the council investigated her death but nothing ever came of it. I've had so much " anger and resentment towards them for not finding him. I wanted to come here and find out what I could and try and find her killer myself.
But, I never expected to experience what I have since being here, since being with you both." Caleb responds,
"We didn't expect to find you either."
"Now, I've been ton on just letting go, but it's been hard. But
considering what we've talked about, I think that vampire knew I wasn't human, which means my mom did too. And I'm not sure l can let go at this point. I need answers or I'm going to go crazy"
"We will help you, love. You don't deserve to keep living like this." Vincent moves towards me and touches his forehead to mine. "You've got us both. We will figure out who killed her, and gladly help you kill him, if that's what you desire."
"He needs to die like she did." I state coldly.
"And he will." Caleb says as his fists grip my bedsheets tightly. A few moments pass as everything I've said sinks in. I break the silence.
"There's something else." I say quickly and look at them both.
"What is it, love?" Vincent asks
"I want to accept the bonds. Now" I never expected to experience what I have since being here, since of for and wipe my nose.
"They said I wasn't family..... I was so fine by the way." Caleb says as he rubs his hand over his face.
