The Beast And The Blessed Chapter 116
Eleven: Tobias
Tobias’s P.O.V.
She had wanted me, and I had pushed her away.
She was done waiting. I was out of time.
I knew with every beat of my heart and breath in my lungs that I wanted her to be mine. Everything about her drew me in, called to me. She was the embodiment of seduction. But she was also funny, intelligent, and loyal. Every time we spoke, all of my responsibilities vanished from my mind, and I just wanted to spend all of my time with her.
Even Ana didn’t make me feel this way; that had been a hard pill to swallow. I had tried so hard to protect her and to love her. But I had failed on both accounts. It was unnatural. It was against the will of the Goddess.
My beast felt the pull to Ana, but my mind had always been on Joselin. For that, I would never be able to let Ana go. The guilt alone was too much for me.
I ripped open the door to my father’s house. The musty smell of the abandoned property made my nose wrinkle in disgust. It had been so long since I had been here. I hated doing it. It always brought back too many memories.
Yet, I also hadn’t built up the courage to fix the place, so I could sell it. It was mine now that my father was gone, but the horrific memories inside made me want to burn the place down instead. I didn’t want to have to go through and renovate it to hide the horrors of my past.
I was physically strong enough to do it, but I didn’t know if my mind could handle it. The easiest of the issues would be the scratches on the inside of the door and walls of the closet in my childhood bedroom.
The most difficult would be having to rip up the flooring and replace it to hide the blood stains on the first floor.
I had thought I could mentally prepare myself to move on and offer Joselin everything she could ever want. It didn’t seem possible with the ghosts of my past still here. Maybe this was the closure I needed.
I had always hated this house. Every room was walled off from the others, making it darker than I’d like. The closed off floor-plan was exactly what I had avoided when I purchased my current home.
We had a few things in common, Joselin and I. Our horrific upbringing was what we had bonded over when I found her. Soon after, she became my best friend, my only escape. I had hoped for her to be my future as well.
Then I found Ana, and it felt wrong to spend time with Joselin.
Now, Ana was gone, and the only thing stopping me was my guilt.
The only way to move on was to let go of Ana. She wasn’t here to forgive me anymore. I could beg and plead to the Goddess until the words lost all meaning, and I had, but it made no difference.
I glanced down at the discolored wood.
Tomorrow. Tomorrow I will take care of it. Tomorrow I would get my closure so I could move on.
I walked to the front window, cracking it open to air out the house a little while I was gone before locking it behind me and leaving.
