Chapter 38
The day, the other shoe dropped was a day that nobody expected that it would happen and it happened in a way which no one thought it will ever happen at least not like that. that day started like every other day for Vince, with his arms around his mate then attacking her neck while she sleeps. Then proceeding to having sex with her while she drinks from him.
That part went well without any issue, the day changed when someone banged on the door while he was talking with Gwen. He opened the door to shout at his butler only to see Jessica and his face lost color with what she told him and he quickly wore his clothes and left Gwen. That was the first mistake. His second was that after checking the scene where another crystal went missing was to hold ae emergency meeting with all the primordials and the sorcerers council with the shifters own. The way he knew what happened was when Courtney received a call from her mate. Then hurried back to the room and tell Vince what Ashley just said and that was how Vince saw himself where he was right now.
In Courtney mansion with everyone surrounding him while sorcerer healers were running after his mate trying to heal her.
this is all my fault. Vince finally said as everybody head swung to look at him. I should have never left her alone. Vince said as Courtney shook her head.
dont blame yourself for something that you had no control over, you didnt know that it was a diversion. None of us did.
still she should have been with me. Vince said
no, you would have still left her behind based on the fact that you will not drag her into danger. Jake said as Vince bowed his head.
she will be fine. Jessica said as she wrapped her hand around her bother in shock when she saw tears on the floor. There was only one other time she had seen Vince cry, when he discovered that their parents were no more after seeing their house overgrown with grass and weed which meant it has been abandoned for a while.
but right now, she is not. Vince said in an hoarse voice
and she will be. Jessica replied putting power into her voice that made Courtney gasp.
you can do that too. Courtney asks.
yes, Jessica replied.
why didnt you tell any of us. Jake demanded.
because it is not a gift I use often. Jessica said uncomfortably while Vince raised his head with only tears tracks on his face with all the tears dried off.
yours and Matthew own, which is stronger. Elijah asks.
mine? Jessica answers in a question not knowing where this is going to.
this is amazing, we have something we can use against Matthew now. Carson said in an happy tone.
no, my sister gift will not be used that way, she is not something and she is definitely not a weapon. Vince said as others looked at him.
be reasonable Elijah started but
I am, not my sister. Vince said.
what about questioning the people who were sent. Cole asks.
leave the method of interrogation to me, I will provide you an answer, dont think that my sister will be used as an instrument. Vince said as Jessica took a deep breathe to say something but Vince continued. Dont even think of it Jess, I cannot lose you too, I wont lose you to your own head.
okay. Jessica said as she hugged her brother.
my lords and ladies. A healer said shakily as they all turned to her and she shrank into herself a little more.
come Agnes. Carson said as he offered his hand to the healer who quickly grabbed it and kissed it as if it offered her strength. what is the result.
Agnes took a deep breath even while holding her master hand, she still feel as if she mistakenly breathed the wrong way that she would be killed, the power level in the room were surging too high. The highest were coming from her master, the huge man with the intense eyes and the pale one who look normal except for the fact that his eyes were like nothing she had ever seen. It had horrors and looked darkest like he has a lot of secrets hidden behind them, and that he would unleash his power on the world if anything happen to the lady who was resting in the other room. There was no easy way to say what she had to say but still, she just have to say it. lady Gwen is in a critical position.
we got that. go on Jake said with a wave of his hand, urging Agnes to continue.
I meant she is still in a critical condition. Agnes said cringing as she felt the aura of the one whose eyes held secrets increased in an alarming way.
“Agnes, I think it will be better for you and for everybody in this room if you give the whole news once. Carson offered.
Agnes shrank into herself as she said everything. there was so many injuries, they left her barely alive and then the wait before we arrive was also bad for her health. We did all we could for her but it didnt work, we had to put her in a magical coma to make her heal.
and how will she leaves. Jessica asks as Vince aura completely disappears.
“she will leave when she is ready to face reality.
so if she doesnt want to face reality. Ashley asks quietly
then she wont wake up. Agnes got out after several tries and the she quickly continued. we had to put her in coma, she kept dying on us and we knew we could not let her go fully, when she flat-lined for a full minute, that was when
stop talking. Cole orders but it was too late, a wave of Vince aura whipped out and it was so volatile that Cole released a growl and hair started sprouting out of his hands without his command and Carson body grew warm and swirls of magic appeared in his eyes.
what is that. Cole asks in an inhumane voice.
control yourself Vincent, you dont want us to retaliate. Carson said in a loud pitch that almost hurt their ears.
Vince knew he could not put anybody there in danger as. He had to think about Gwen. His mate whom he didnt say a proper goodbye to this morning. He had to leave here. Vince looked around one last time before looking at Ashley. protect her. He gritted out as he disappeared.
let him go Jake said quickly to Jessica who shook her head.
I need to be there for him. Jessica replies as she disappears also.
+++++++
Vince appeared at a cliff top where there was no civilization for miles. He knelt on the edge with tears staining his face.
“Vincent. Jessica calls.
leave Vince growled in a voice that has no resemblance to his own. His eyes completely black with no whites and black veins on his face.
no, I said I will always be there for you and I will. Jessica shouted then added softly. even when you push me away
I need to release some energy. Vince said.
I know, you cannot hurt with energy brother, so dispense as much as you can and I will be here waiting for you when you are done. Jessica replied as Vince smiles a sad smile as he opened the lock on his aura, something he learnt about the time he was created and he hadnt used for almost a 1000 years.
After he dispense the first two, he let out a scream of pain, then bowed his head and began to cry in essence.
brother. Jessica said as she went to him, dropped to her kneels besides him and wrapped her arms around him.
if she didnt survive, I would have committed suicide Vince tells his sister as Jessica hand tightened around him.
well it is a good thing she survived. Jessica said as if Vince confession didnt shock her. I dont think she would be happy with you in the afterlife if you joined her without taking down Matthew and whoever is pulling his puppet strings.
Vince released a hollow laugh. I dont know how to survive without her. Vince said as Jessica kiss side of his head
live however you can cope if you want to be a brat, a priest or anything you want, we are fully behind you, supporting you in whatever you chose .
and if I decide to burn down everything in my path. Vince asks with a raised eyebrow.
I will give you the match and make sure that I douse the path with gasoline so that the fire will start and burn well. Jessica answered with a pause.
thank you for being there for me sis. Vince said after being silent for a while.
I will always be there for you. Jessica replies then added. Just like you will be for me. So what will you do now.
funny question. Vince said with a cold laughter.
they went after my mate, I will make sure their blood will flow like a river. Vince vows as Jessica nodded.
and I will behind you every step of the way for whatever you planned for them. Jessica added as Vince smiled.
