His Prince

Chapter 21

Trey's POV

We had arrived home in no short of 30 minutes. I rode slow so the bumps wouldn't hurt Skylar much and bought him a few things. I got him a stuffed Fox, a heated blanket and some snacks because of course, we couldn't leave without snacks. I had also picked up the medicine that Tish had given us at the pharmacy for Skylar. I grabbed everything while Skylar held close to his Fox as we both headed inside the house. I look over to Skylar, he was just smiling up at the house. I smile at him as we now reached the front door. I open the door and we both walk in and immediately set our things down. I give a loud, and very needed sigh as I plop down on the couch closing my eyes in exhaustion. I look over to Skylar as he walks slowly over to the kitchen and began looking through the fridge. I look to my hands beginning to fiddle with them as I look to his face, I sigh heavily.

His face... It was so plain and emotionless. He didn't look sad, happy, angry, nothing.

I stand to my feet and walk over to him, holding him in a hug from behind. I slowly begin to sway side to side as I rest my chin on the top of his head. Skylar gives a soft giggle as I do this. He soon looks up to me as he turns around and hugs me fully, smiling and nuzzling into my chest.

"How're you feeling love?" I asked him softly, trying not to make him too uncomfortable. Sky didn't answer for a moment but instead shrugged, after a short minute, I then felt his body begin to tremble. I immediately got worried and pushed myself away from him, looking down into his face. I held onto his shoulders as I kneeled down about a foot so I was now eye level with him.

"What is it love?...Does it hurt? Are you feeling sick!? Here, let me go get your medicine—" I began to run off to our things when Skylar soon stopped me by grabbing ahold of my wrist tightly and hugging it into his chest. I stopped and just watched him as he cried into my arm.

"I'm so sorry" He then screamed out in a loud cry. I widened my eyes at how painful he sounded. He sounded like he wanted to crawl in a whole and never come back, his cry sounded so heart aching....He sounded like he wanted to die...

"Sky...D-Don't—" I began, but he cut me off again.

"I'm sorry I let this happen...I'm sorry I hadn't told you about the basement sooner... I'm sorry about everything!!" He screamed with even more pain. I felt my chest tighten so deeply that it began to feel harder to breath every second. My heart was aching so intensely that I felt like crying. My Skylar should never feel this way... Let alone think like that. He's so precious, and none of this could ever be his fault!...

I grabbed ahold of Skylar's shoulders and pull him into me as I now kneel on the ground, having him be taller than me and having my head press into his stomach. I squeeze him into me, tightening my hands into a tight fist as I clutch to the back of his shirt. Now we were both trembling.

"Skylar... This isn't any of your fault... If anything it's mine!" I told him. I held him closer. "I hadn't told you about me, I hadn't told you about Tae and Eric... I didn't tell you about the basement and I didn't tell you anything" I pulled my face away from him, now caressing his tear stained cheek with the back of my hand. "Skylar, love... This is not your fault. None of this... Don't you EVER think that again!" I tell him. He looks away from me saddened at my response. I sigh as I now stand to my feet and begin to walk down the hall, holding onto Sky's wrist lightly. I had him follow me down into the basement as I turn the light on and head down the steps, having Skylar begin to ask me so many questions.

"Treyyy" he rolled out sounding annoyed and confused. "Why are you bringing me down here? I know what I saw and I'm so sorry Trey" he said sounding sad. I sighed as I now stopped pulling him as we reached the back of my basement. This area was blocked on boxes so no one could see or get to it, but I didn't know so I guess it's time to do what I should have done when I started seeing Skylar.

I looked to him and looked 100 percent serious. "Have you been back here yet?" I asked. He immediately looked to me with a confused look.

"N-No... Why?" he said now coming closer to me, hanging onto my arm like he has been before, holding it rightly to his chest. I give a soft scoff as I now look to the boxes and begin to move them aside, showing off what I thought to be a terrible sight.

As I moved the boxes, there was just a wall with chains coming from the ceiling, the back wall and also the floor. They had cuffs connected to the chains as well. I held my breath slowly as I walked closer, kicking the chains aside having hem clang together. I then looked to the floor and wall, seeing so many, many deep scratch marks, actually, claw marks in the cement. I slowly traced hem with my finger tips.

"This is where my parents would have me stay during a full moon when I was younger" I spoke normally, having no emotion in my tone. I looked to Skylar and he looked a bit taken aback. I stood up strait and continued on.

"From the age of 10, I was put down here every full moon while I was changing so I wouldn't hurt anyone or anything that night. If my parents felt like it was alright, they would let me change outside and then let me go hunting, but I stopped doing that at around 12. I didn't think it was the safest thing to do" I said. I then turned to the boxes.

"W-Why are you telling me all this now?" Skylar asked. "Didn't you not want me to know?" he asked. I sighed.

"It's not that I didn't... It's that I wasn't able to, that I wasn't supposed to and that I wasn't allowed to. Sam... If Sam... If Sam ever found out you knew Skylar, he'd try to kill you... " I spoke. Immediately Skylars eyes went wide.

"What!!?" he now yelled. "Why!? Why would he want to do that!?" he asked. Without meaning to, I gave out a laugh.

"Because, he's Sam, he's the alpha. He thinks he can control my life. But if he even dared to even touch a hair on your head, I'd rip his head off within a second... I won't let him hurt you love... But I can't keep hiding this from you, I won't. You have the right to know everything about me" I said, now sitting on the ground sighing as I palmed my face.

I looked up to Skylar, not knowing what else to say, even though there was so much to say. I've only told him a very very small fraction of this and already, I'm at a loss for words.

"I'm sorry... I'm trying to think of what to say.. " I tell him as I now look to the ground. "I've never told anyone this before so, I don't know what's important and what's not important" I say shrugging.

"Trey! This is all important, eveey little detail and fragment" he said now kneeling down to me. "You're finally taking to me about yourself and I think that is the best thing in the world even if it puts me in a little bit of danger" He spoke. I scoffed when he said a little bit.

Skylar and I had talked for hours that night. I told him nearly everything about me and my family, even about how ny parents actually died and why I hated Sam, even how I thought he has a part in my parents death. I told him about the pain, the feelings and everything about a full moon and why I was actually always gone. That curtain part seemed to give him much relief. I guess him knowing what I was actually doing let off so much anxiety... I hate that I put him through that. Giving him all that sadness and anxiety, just because I was afraid to be around him.

I'm pathetic
