Only vampire can love you forever (book 2) novel Chapter 71

Jace turned around and saw his cousins staring at him, he waved and quickly sat on the bike while wearing his helmet.

Alexander sat behind Jace, hugging him and burying his face in Jace's back.

Jace started the bike, wearing his helmet and waving at his cousins one last time as he drove back to the packhouse to find out what Maya and Ruby discovered.

Many questions ran through Jace's mind that had no possible solution or answer, which irritated him.

Jace was aware that something was wrong, but he had no idea what had occurred to cause all of this.

Anyone could tell Loukas, Draco, and Ronin were madly in love with Alyssa, Luna, and Juliet, but Jace saw how his cousins didn't hesitate to kick them out of the castle.

“Jace…” Alexander spoke near Jace's ear as Jace nodded for Alexander to continue, "Will everything be back to normal like it used to?" This caused Jace to sigh.

“Cub, all we can do is hope,” Jace said as Alexander hummed and rested his head on Jace's shoulder, trying not to cry.

Alexander adored Draco, Loukas, and Ronin and considered them to be his family.

Ronin was the first to reach out a hand to Alexander in the dark, and he was also the first to speak gently to him.

Loukas was the first person to stand beside him and protect him from the bully at school. Loukas also scolded Jace whenever Jace made Alexander sad.

Draco was the first to treat him as his little best friend, listening to his ramblings and always being there for him.

Alexander was never worried when Draco was around because he enjoyed playing basketball with Draco, who always treated him fairly.

Alexander yearned for Loukas, Draco, and Ronin's caring and loving sides.

Alexander was both sad and worried when Jace told him about Draco, Loukas, and Ronin finally having mates.

Alexander remembered how Kim, Sam, and Amy were, which made him worried about how their mates would be.

Jace could tell Alexander was scared because he was close to Draco, Loukas, and Ronin.

Alexander had insisted on Jace taking him to the human world so he could see who Draco, Loukas, and Ronin's mates were so Jace had agreed and taken him there.

When Alexander and Jace arrived in the human world, they had no trouble finding Draco, Loukas, and Ronin because Jace had requested a spell from Ruby.

Alexander was taken aback by how the girls pushed Draco, Loukas, and Ronin away.

On various occasions, Draco, Loukas, and Ronin received numerous letters and gifts, and many people wished to be their mates.

Alexander was surprised by how nice and caring Alyssa, Luna, and Juliet were when he finally met them in the vampire world.

Alexander decided that day that the girls were the close mates Loukas, Draco, and Ronin could have.

Alexander had accepted them as family and had gradually grown close to them to the point where they were now like family, so seeing them sad worried Alexander greatly.

Jace parked his bike and removed his helmet, while Alexander got off the bike and removed his helmet, which he gave to Jace, who kept the helmets together.

Alexander sighed and looked at Jace, who got off the bike and went inside the packhouse.

Jace and Alexander entered Maya's room immediately as they noticed Ruby sitting on the bed with her legs crossed and her eyes closed.

Maya motioned for Jace and Alexander to be quiet as they nodded and sat on the sofa.

They all silently watched Ruby, whose eyes were closed while she meditated, as they waited for her to finish.

Alexander continued to stare at Ruby as he rested his head on Jace's shoulder, Jace's hand resting on top of Alexander's hand.

Jace and Alexander were exhausted from the events that had happened, which had made them drowsy.

Alexander's eyes slowly closed as he fell asleep on Jace's shoulder, who yawned and closed his eyes, also falling asleep.

*******

“Jace, wake up,” Maya said as she gently shook her brother, who grumbled and yawned as he slowly opened his eyes.

Jace sat up straight and was about to stretch as he noticed Alexander's head still resting on his shoulder while he slept.

"Alex, wake up," Jace said softly as he kissed the top of Alexander's head, who shook his head and hugged Jace.

Jace sighed and spoke, "Cub, we can finish work here and later go back home to sleep." As Alexander hummed slowly opening his eyes.

Alexander yawned and rubbed his tired eyes while he sat straight trying his best not to fall asleep.

“Alex, if you want, you can sleep in the guest room,” Maya suggested, to which Alexander shook his head and replied, “No, I want to stay here and talk as well.”

“It's fine, you look very tired,” Ruby said as Alexander frowned, shifting his gaze to Jace to see what he thinks, but Jace smiled back.

“I can go home and sleep with Jace later,” Alexander said, his gaze fixed on Jace.

“Are you certain?” Maya inquired, and Alexander shifted his gaze and looked at her, answering, "Yes, I want to be here with you guys," as Maya nodded.

“Okay, but if you get tired, you can sleep here on this bed,” Ruby said, as Alexander smiled and said, “Thank you,” while Ruby nodded and added, “you're welcome.”

“Have you finished what you were doing, or did you stop because of us?” Jace questioned Ruby, who replied, “No, I am finished,” as Jace hummed.

“So, what happened back there at the castle?” Maya inquired as Jace sighed and replied, "For starters, Maya, our cousins despise their mates," which perplexed Maya and Ruby.

“But they were so madly in love,” Ruby said, recalling how Draco, Loukas, and Ronin couldn't live without their mates.

“I know, but now they don't want them to enter the castle or be near them,” Alexander sighed, resting his head on Jace's shoulder, who didn't seem to mind.

“There has to be a reason,” Maya sighed, while Jace hummed as he spoke, “and that reason is that negative energy.”

Ruby shook her head and said, "No, Jace, that negative energy has nothing to do with Draco, Loukas, and Ronin forgetting their mates," which perplexed Jace and Alexander.

Jace and Alexander remembered feeling weak and how this mess began, but Ruby just denied the fact that the negative energy was controlling Loukas, Draco, and Ronin.

“So, what exactly does that energy do?” Alexander inquired, and Ruby replied, "I investigated the location with Maya, and I discovered that the energy is indeed very dark," while Jace whispered, "I knew it."

“But Jace, it can only make a person feel weak, not take away their powers or make them forget about their mates,” Ruby said, which made a lot of sense to Jace and Alexander.

“What was the purpose of the negative energy?” Alexander inquired, and Maya replied, "It was for Nathanial himself," which surprised Jace and Alexander.

“What? So, he was able to flee?” Jace questioned as he groaned irritated.

Ruby said. “No, he knew that if Draco, Loukas, and Ronin tortured the other shapeshifter, those shapeshifters might tell everything,” she said after a brief pause, adding, “So he was casting a strong spell on them to endure and he was controlling their body.”

Jace questioned, "If that's the case, why are they no longer alive?” Ruby responded to Jace's question, "Because Nathanial killed them with that spell."

“There is no way that is possible.” Jace muttered again, surprised, as Alexander asked, "Weren't they a team?" Ruby hummed in agreement.

“They were, but Nathanial knew this was going to happen,” Ruby said, shaking her head in disappointment.

“How could he have known?” Alexander questioned while Maya replied, "It was all planned," as she clicked her tongue.

“Those three boys werewolves, and wolves, unlike witches and vampires, can't handle shapeshifting spells or control spells well,” Ruby explained as Jace questioned, "How can you be so sure?" While Ruby responded, "I collected all the negative energy and tried to figure out what that spell was for."

“I tried to enter that dead boy's mind, but it was closed as if someone cast a spell for that,” Ruby explained, as Maya hummed in agreement and added, “But Nathanial saw us.”

“Shit, he'll tell Draco, Loukas, and Ronin,” Jace said as Alexander smiled and held Jace's hand.

Alexander said, "Jace," while Jace hummed so Alexander adding, "Draco, Loukas, and Ronin said only their mates aren't allowed in the castle, doesn't that mean Ruby and Maya are?" As Jace hummed.

“You are correct, which means everything is fine, but we still need to be cautious,” Jace said as he smiled at Alexander, who returned his smile.

“Yes, but Nathanial himself told us all of this,” Ruby said as Jace's eyes widened in surprise.

“How?” Jace inquired. “How did he inform you?” As Jace was impressed by Ruby, she smiled and replied, "He might be a witch like me, but I am a hybrid, so I have more powers and am stronger than him."

“Did you have control over him?” Alexander inquired, excitedly, as Ruby hummed and replied, "Yes, I controlled him, but because he was fighting me in the end, someone assisted him, and my spell broke," while she sighed frowning.

“This is enough information,” Jace said, looking at Maya, who hummed in agreement.

Jace knew this was enough, and now that he knew Nathanial wasn't controlling his cousins, his few questions were answered, but he still had no idea why they were acting so strangely.

“Yes, we now know Nathanial isn't controlling my cousins,” Maya said, as Ruby smiled and added, “You got that right.”

“So, what now?” Alexander inquired, and Jace replied, "Now, we'll go home and rest for a while because we have a big day tomorrow," Alexander nodded.

“All right, we'll tell everyone to be safe,” Maya said as Jace hummed in agreement while stretching because he was tired.

“Inform everyone, but tell them not to tell Draco, Loukas, or Ronin anything,” Jace said, as Ruby and Maya nodded in agreement.

They knew it was best not to tell Draco, Loukas, or Ronin anything because they didn't know what their plan was or what they were about to do.

"Who do you want me to inform?" Maya inquired as Jace paused for a moment before responding, "I want you to inform mom, dad, Layla, Mia, Adrian, Noah, Nathan, and Isabella," to which Maya nodded.

“How about uncle and aunt?” Ruby inquired, and Alexander replied, "I will inform them tomorrow when we go there," as he smiled at her, and she returned the smile.

“All right, what else do you want us to do?” Maya inquired once more as Jace stated, "Increase security and get the pack ready in case of war," to which Maya hummed and added, "Okay, we will do that."

Jace was aware that a war could occur, but he was also aware that the chances of it occurring were slim, even though Jace was certain that Kim, Amy, and Sam should be imprisoned.

Jace said, "We will be going home now, so you all should be careful and remember to contact me if anything happens," to which Ruby replied, "Yeah, we will."

Jace stood up as he stretched again, while Alexander stood up and stretched as well.

As they walked out of the packhouse, Alexander and Jace waved goodbye to Ruby and Maya.

They were both exhausted as Jace wore his helmet and Alexander took his from Jace.

Alexander wore his helmet, while Jace sat on the bike as it started his bike.

Jace assisted Alexander to sit behind him as he sped back to the castle.

Jace and Alexander were both exhausted and didn't have the energy to do anything.

They were exhausted since they went from one castle to the other and later going to the packhouse as well.

They hadn't slept in over 6 hours, and all they wanted to do now was sleep.

Jace stopped his bike near the castle gate as the butler saw him and quickly approached him.

Alexander got off the bike and removed his helmet, while Jace got off as well and gave the butler his bike keys so the butler could park the bike.

Jace removed his helmet as he took Alexander's helmet from his grasp and handed it to the other butler.

Alexander and Jace were walking through the castle when Jace came to a halt near one of the guards.

“Has anyone visited the castle?” Jace questioned as the guard replied, "No, your highness, no one came here, and the queens are still in the guest rooms."

“Increase security and instruct the guards not to let anyone in, not even Draco, Loukas, or Ronin, without my permission,” Jace said as the guard nodded understandingly.

“I will notify all butlers and guards.” The butler nodded again as Jace thought for a moment before saying, "Tell the guards to stand outside Alyssa, Luna, and Juliet's room."

Jace spoke, "Also, don't let anyone in because shapeshifters are roaming around." As the guard was alerted and realized it was a serious matter, he saluted understandingly.

Jace and Alexander smiled at the guard as they went to the guest room to check on Alyssa, Luna, and Juliet.

They noticed Alyssa wasn't in her room, nor was Juliet, which worried them, so they quickly went to Luna's room to check and found them sleeping on the king-size bed.

“They must have been worried and couldn't sleep alone.” Alexander said to Jace, who hummed in agreement as Alexander placed the blanket on them.

When Jace looked around and saw no windows, he sighed, relieved that there was only one way to enter this room, and that was through the door, so he knew the guards only had to stand outside the room.

“Let's go,” Alexander said as he led Jace out of the room.

Jace shut the door and motioned for the four guards to stand next to the door.

“Alyssa, Luna, and Juliet are all sleeping in the same room, so don't guard any other rooms, just this one,” Jace said as the guards nodded, and four guards stood there.

Jace looked at the other two guards and said, "You both go guard the main gate," to which the guards nodded and did as they were told.

Alexander yawned as Jace held his hand as they walked to their room.

Alexander locked the windows and closed the curtains as Jace closed the door.

Alexander sat on the bed as Jace turned on the air conditioner and turned off the lights as he sat on the bed.

Jace stripped down and he was now only wearing his boxers as Alexander took off his clothes and wore one of Jace's shirts as he laid down.

Jace laid down next to Alexander, kissing his neck and snuggling behind him as they both fell asleep quickly.
