Chapter 116

Brielle's POV

I could barely hold myself back from sending Xavier flying. He made me so angry. If only Blake hadn't gotten between us. I took calming breaths to settle my heart. It was beating fast and loudly from that heated argument I was engaged in.

Earlier, I couldn't stand being in the house. Blake and Xavier were taking too long. I got worried, so I followed suit. I didn't expect to find Xavier on the floor. I got scared that Blake was hurt, but surprisingly he was alright. Just a little out of it.

But the moment Xavier started talking he just made me angry. Blake didn't beat him enough. I sighed and stood aside.

" Enough, okay. This isn't going anywhere."

" Don't listen to him, Blake. Let's just lock him up with Julian. That's the least of what they deserve."

Blake was quiet and Xavier didn't protest either when I mentioned that he should be locked up.

Blake sighed and started pacing around. He looked distressed and that was the last thing I wanted to happen to him. This is all too much for all of us to deal with, and I know Blake. Too bad we were not like Xavier and Julian. We can't just kill them like they did to us. Besides, it's a little impossible at the moment. I don't know if I can find a way to

" Seems like there is only one way out of this. I'm tired of seeing your face. It makes me sick. And the only way to get rid of you is to do what you want."

I gasped in horror. No way. He doesn't mean...

" No, Blake. We can't do that. You know how evil they are. Once they get back on their feet, they'll surely try to come and finish what they have started. It's a huge risk that we can't afford. We can never trust their word. You know that."

Blake turned to look at me.

" More than you, I know that. I know, but still, this is the only way. For so long, I thought if I ever came across them again, I would kill them on the spot. They deserve it, but then again, in doing that, I would lose myself, and what would be the difference between them and me? I have realized that if we keep at it and let hate consume us, we will never be free of this ongoing cycle of hatred and vengeance. I want to break it and I want you to break free of all the pain and sorrow. I'm not saying forgive. What they did is unforgiveable and will not be forgiven, but we can let go. I want us to start our lives free of pain and hate. Let's let go of them."

I understood what Blake meant clearly. When you hate someone, that slowly chips away at your soul and soon enough, your soul becomes tainted and dark. That is not what I want for us.

I placed my hands on my stomach. Blake is right. With the arrival of our baby, this will be a fresh start for us, as the leaders of the pack and as parents. Our hatred cannot be bigger than that. So I will let go of it all. I can't let anything stand in the way of our happiness. This time, I don't want to lose anyone, neither Blake, nor our baby. I won't be able to withstand such an ordeal again. So for our future, I am willing to let go of the past and let it be. Although it will be hard to forget all the pain and suffering

" Okay. I agree. But we can't let them go just like that, can we?" I asked with concern.

" Of course not," Blake replied.

" What do you mean?" Xavier cut in.

" Did you think I was going to let you go just like that? No way."

" What could you possibly want? There is nothing that we can give you other than put a word to never bother you again-"

" Your word? That means nothing to us. I don't trust you and I will never take your word for anything. Got that?"

" So what is your condition then? Let me hear it."

" The only way you and Julian will be able to get out here, is only when we can figure out how to strip you of your immortality. That's the only way I'll be able to let go of you, knowing that if you ever go back on your" word", death will be your punishment."

" What? That will kill us! How is that a condition?"

" Wouldn't that be great, but that's not quite what I meant,"Blake clarified.

I was even confused about what Blake was talking about. I cast the spell on them to be immortal and suffer the trials of never ending time. But I was lucky back then, and I was motivated by my devastation and desperation. I wouldn't even know how to remove the spell now.

" I've read somewhere a while back that one of the ways to defeat being immortal is by fire. To be precise, hell fire."

" You want to kill us with hell fire? Don't you think this is getting out of hand? Where would you even get hell fire?"

" That is what we need to figure out. Once we get the hell fire, we will use it to plant a dormant flame on your soul. That flame will only activate at our command. And when we do, your souls will be incinerated."

I smiled at that thought. That was a brilliant idea. That would be the best idea to get them under control. This is an ace. If we succeed, then I'll be assured that we'll be safe from them."

" If you agree to do this, then you can leave and make sure we never see you again. So what say? Do we have a deal?"

" It's not like I have any other choice, so yes, we have a deal," Xavier agreed.

" Then, it is done. You'll be free after we do this."

Thr guards came in and escorted Xavier to the dungeons to see Julian. I was glad that we had come to an agreement. Finally, we are close to putting everything behind us.

Blake and I went back inside the house. I felt some of the weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Maybe now is the time to tell Blake about the news. Yes, I will tell him tonight. I can't wait to see his reaction.
