No One Will Ever Hurt You Again I Promise-Chapter 39: Finally Comes The Peace He Wanted So Badly

The twins, Elie and Raphael were in a meeting, a meeting that Howie didn’t dare to attend. The annual festival is certainly approaching very quickly, but it’s not that close for the reunion to be a priority, that’s what he told himself. Not to mention the fact that he wants at all costs to leave some space for the boys so that they have more time with the girls they are dating now.

Despite the promise he made to Aike, he still distanced himself from them considerably since Tess took her place in their small group. He feels like she’s spying on them for her brother, so he gives the boys time to spend more time with her and Kaeli.

What he finds very good, the fact that they see people other than him every day is a good thing, then the rumors have diminished, and he hardly hears about him and his amorous affairs with boys for profit.

The photos of him with them have diminished on the school platform, they are no longer the subject of news a few days ago. On the other hand, he always picks them up in the morning and drops them off at home in the evening, he no longer throws murderous glances at them or sulks them when they are busy with the girls.

Not to mention that Tess is starting to get good grades since she’s been dating them we’re going to say that her grades aren’t as bad as before.

He has a tactic all his own to keep the girls and the twins from suspecting he’s running away from them like the black plague or sulking when they’re together. He doesn’t want them to feel bad about him or make them feel like he’s jealous or anything like that.

He always has a well-calculated excuse to get away from them before the gang is reunited one-on-one. He hasn’t changed his attitude towards the boys either and they don’t suspect a thing.

Every time he has to leave them, he ruffles their hair leaving them in a real mess that the boys struggle to fix every time, he leaves them their lunch, pinching their cheek until they can’t take it anymore.

Sometimes he brushes Aike’s right earlobe, drawing a semi-circle with his thumb and forefinger. He starts from the helix to the lobule, then he goes up, just brushing it with his index finger, gazing into Aike’s that he can hardly take his eyes off.

This one still blushes red every time, and the feeling that shoots up his spine when he does that makes him cringe, but he struggles to keep it to himself.

And he’ll still squeeze the tip of Ayke’s nose and give Ayke a friendly little slap on the forehead, smiling at him, the best smile he’s ever had for anyone else.

That’s how they know he’s not angry or upset and they also know he’s overwhelmed with his many assessments, his classes are many and he always submits all his homework and assessments early.

They don’t know why he’s taking all the advanced courses, whether it’s math, physics, chemistry, biology, he’s taking psychology or sociology. Sometimes they say to themselves at this point, he won’t need to go to university anymore.

Each time, Aike has this vague impression that he has already had this scene with him but he always wonders where and when. Since the incident of the piano at the Morgensterns, he avoids touching their hands, he does not want to renew this scene.

The twins on their side discussed the phenomenon amongst themselves and researched the incident but found nothing useful to them that they didn’t already know.

They just haven’t consulted the right files, they are more rooted in science than the supernatural, besides they don’t even believe in the existence of supernatural beings, it’s only tales and stories for children.

While Howie on his side doesn’t want them to remember everything that happened in Yolpem, he wants them to stay out of this endless story full of terror and pain.

He does not want to inflict this on them and it is this determination that gives him the strength to stay away from them without hurting them or rejecting them, without being rough with them. Everything happens as before, they each have their cat to fry.

The meeting was in full swing when they heard the uproar, and it was mostly a shrill scream that made them rush out and see what was going on.

They rush to the scene of the fight and the first thing they all notice is H who is leaning nonchalantly against the wall with his arms folded across his chest and his eyes staring into space as if thinking or he was not of this world.

Despite the crowd that gathered around the brawlers they couldn’t miss the impressive size and commanding presence of the others across the room.

They’re going to kill themselves if we don’t do something, Aike tells the other members of his band who have just entered.

But where are the teachers and the security personnel, I know they are not allowed inside when there is class but in case of extreme emergency or danger they are, right? Kaeli asked them with a shaky little voice.

She may be a heartless bitch sometimes, but many things affect her and scare her.

Exactly, Elie and Ayke answer him at the same time. And the cameras don’t work what exactly is going on here? Raphael asks.

And him over there, what is he doing, why isn’t he helping his cousin out of this mess? Kaeli points them out again, pointing at Howie.

And the next second without waiting for someone to answer Kaeli’s question as if there was someone here who knows how H’s brain works.

Three of the high school’s best students rushed into the fray to help Bravael or rather to separate them. The twins grabbed Theo’s arms to force him to stand who is on top of El, whom he crushed under his fists like rotten fruit. El’s sarcastic laughter stopped short when he noticed the two newcomers, he tries to warn Theo to stop struggling but this one takes his attempts for incitement.

With a sudden gesture, he makes the boys lose their balance and fall over, which forces them to release their grip. But that doesn’t stop them, they come back to the charge, and that’s when Theo used all his strength and landed them a violent elbow that went to lodge in the twins’ ribcage at the same time.

An oh! was heard in the crowd and the boys spat blood before falling backward. El opened his eyes wide in fright, he pushed Theo aside, who doesn’t understand why he suddenly read terror in the eyes of his sadistic opponent, who instead of concentrating on him rushed towards the two inert bodies lying on the ground by walking on all fours.

Tch, he’s afraid for them but not for his life, and yet I didn’t hit them that hard, they annoyed me I just wanted them to understand it for once. They’re just pretending to stop me from beating you to death, insolent brat, grumbled Theo between his teeth, as he watched how diligently El rushed to the twins to help them.

But it’s not the likeness of the boys that strikes him, he doesn’t even look at them, it’s only El he’s interested in. Pfff, so he’s thoughtful with everyone, what a sore. He continues to whisper inaudibly.

It was only when he felt lifted into the air that he cast an observant gaze at the bodies sprawled on the ground.

Holy shit, holy fucking shit! The famous twins! I screwed up badly, he said between gritted teeth, ready to receive the sentence that awaits him. He is going to kill me and now is not the time, everyone here is going to witness who he is. I’m damned for pulling the beast out of its lair.

Howie no! shouted Bravael who turned back to the position he left Theo in. But he found this one hanging in the air, with Howie’s hands around his throat. Howie didn’t move, he didn’t even turn to face him, Theo’s tongue hangs miserably to the side, and his eyes leave his sockets, bloodshot and ready to explode into pieces.

Bravael uses his pheromone to invade the room, and oddly all the kids in the room begin to magically calm down. The noises begin to fade, and only a hum of voices remains in the place of all the noises and screams that drowned out the fight.

They all began to plead softly like a prayer so that H could release his prey. In the calm that had settled in, and their hum of voices coming to his ears like a prayer, Howie lost track of time. He looked around, a little distraught at the sudden turn of events, seeing himself a few thousand years ago as if he had just woken up from a bad dream.

El notices his wandering, he takes advantage of his current state to push him to release Theo, who begins to suffocate. They’re going to die, if you don’t help me get them somewhere else, he whispers to himself, staring at Howie, because he knows he can hear him perfectly well as he hears all of them at this moment. Howie didn’t move like he didn’t know what he was talking about.

So he started again putting more emotion and sincerity into his desire to save them, Lycian you must help me save Lugh he is dying, please help me, he is your friend, the only one and the special one. He lifted Ayke in his arms and laid his head against his chest, he couldn’t mourn his death centuries ago.

But today he does, he doesn’t know why he’s so emotional all of a sudden, but it seems like it worked. He cried all the tears in his body without being able to hold them back.

Howie, comes to his sense he felt the mark on his forehead scratching him he hastened to put Theo on the ground, leaning him gently against the wall, this one took a deep breath of air touching his throat as if he wanted to open it to suck in a lot more air at once.

Howie walked away from him, leaving him to fight for his survival on his own, I’m still not going to relieve you after what you’ve done, he said.

When he put him down gently, instead of dropping him heavily to the floor like something useless doesn’t mean he forgives him. He dropped him off because of his friend, who must have had a bad time seeing him hanging like a scarecrow, his bloodshot eyes bulging and his tongue hanging out, He wasn’t as handsome as he normally is.

He walks over to El and the boys, he bends over the boys to take their vitals, then he puts a soothing hand on El’s outstretched shoulder, which is jerky with his tears, he can’t hold back he can’t help himself.

He jumped when he felt the presence of H near him, he cast a wet look at Theo, who seems to be starting to find a little calm, and the rhythm of his breathing is starting to return to normal, even his cheeks have taken on a rosy hue...

Howie lifts Aike in his arms like a leaf, while El tends to Ayke, whom he was already holding whose uniform is completely dirty and wet with his unstoppable tears. They made their way through the crowd, who all had tears in their eyes now, they don’t even know why they are crying.

As they walked away with the boys in their arms, Hugg and Todd who were present in the crowd rushed towards Theo who pushed them away and stood up abruptly, moving away from them as quickly as possible.

What’s wrong with him, Todd asks Hugg who doesn’t even understand why Theo is pushing them away. He was surprised to meet him in the hallway this morning dressed in their uniform, he hadn’t even been able to discuss his presence here yet when an opportunity presented itself to him.

When he noticed El and Howie arriving without paying attention to the other people around them, he took advantage of the situation, to guide Theo to get in El’s way without the latter paying attention to what he was doing to him.

Because he’s always been like this with him, he always wants to see him but secretly, when they’re in a public place where there are people likely to recognize him, he always manages for Theo to hide him from the eyes of the public. Even in a club, he always hides behind Theo’s back to avoid running into acquaintances, or even close friends who, like him, frequent nightclubs with false identity cards, which are most often distributed by him. he’s a computer and data hacking genius.

Besides, that’s how they met, he was hiding from his father who followed him that day, he was looking for a way to escape without the latter noticing him when he banged against a wall of muscle. he touched the torso, biceps, and firm, flat belly of the person he bumped into. Theo watched him do it with amusement under the eyes of his betas, he’s always been that way, with Theo, girls and boys are drawn to him like bears are drawn to honey.

And he never preferred one sex to the other, it’s also for this reason that the pack of the other time wants his skin. He doesn’t respect the elders, and Barosy wants to teach him a lesson, he steals their spotlights, their one-night stands, and their shows.

So he lets him drag him all the way believing he didn’t want to be seen talking to him like every time they are together. Not to mention the fact that he told his friend that he paid him to teach those boys who were picking on them in his high. And those boys in question turn out to be Howie and El and their two friends the twins.

Isn’t that interesting? When he thinks about it he laughs like a madman.

First, he had to stumble upon these two on a full moon night when he was looking for Alfred who earned him the hate of that damned Bravael.

And then he let himself be blindly drawn into a conflict between pimply teenagers for the sake of crazy sex. Now, here he is with heavy charges weighing against him because he let himself be taken by this boy again without paying attention, yet he should have paid him much more attention after what happened last week.

Hey pal, why is he there, with our uniform on his back? Are you also paying for that, that was your plan, right? Todd asks him excitedly.

Shut up, Todd, Hugg yelled angrily, standing up and jostling him. The crowd had dissipated, he took out his flat and touch screen to put the images from the surveillance camera back in place... he had pirated them, to give these two idiots time to confront each other a little before someone don’t come to put an end to it.

He didn’t expect Howie to be so calm, he thought he was the one who got into a fight with Theo, not the one who nearly killed him because he hit the twins.

My plan to get rid of this pretentious asshole always falls through, this stray dog is not easy to have. He said, putting his computer back in his leather backpack, why am I so mad at him he said? I don’t remember him ever noticing me before that famous day when he messed up my wrists.

How did I come to hate him like this, to resent him? He turned around and took one last look at Todd who hadn’t gotten up from his jostling. It’s because of that stupid asshole, he said, frowning dangerously, it was he who made me understand that despite my money I was not free, despite everything I could afford I will remain an emotional slave to my parents and that society in which and for which I live. And that I’ll never be like that son of a bitch who came into our lives and turned it upside down.

He does whatever he wants, when he wants, he walks hand in hand with a guy without taking into account the curious looks of others on him.

He kisses them on the cheek and takes them languidly in his arms without hiding them from prying sight. He devours them with unscrupulous eyes while countless people are watching him who are ready to judge every bit of his life mercilessly, a world in which he does not even belong.

Sometimes I hear that the poor are the best served, maybe in the end it’s true. They do what they have to do, without worrying about what others say about them since nothing is strictly expected of them.

He took his first step and moved away from Todd, who looked at him without understanding what was happening to him. Pff, he must be mad at his minion, after all, he ended up losing again to those two idiots. He spends his savings in vain, that’s probably what pissed him off.

I should have refrained from disturbing him, we’ll see about that later, I could call him tonight to hear from him and discuss his plan. After all, his minion is already there, we might as well use him properly.

At the very second, Howie walked through the infirmary door following in Bravael’s footsteps that the pentacle manifested, a bright green light filled the large room. fortunately, the room was closed and windowless otherwise the whole school would be witness to this incongruous and surprising new spectacle.

Howie leaned against the door, his head growing heavy as if he was single-handedly carrying a load of a smuggling boat across his frontal lobe. Bravael spun around abruptly, by the sudden appearance of light. He was about to go and lay Ayke down on one of the available beds in the room, and check to see if anyone else was present when the body began to float in front of him and even Aike’s too.

The light materializes around them and carries them in a bubble until bringing them closer. When the two bubbles finally touch, they merge into one with the boys’ two bodies still floating inside. Their hands are touched and their little fingers crossed like when children or any adult who respects the rules of the game make pinky promises.

The same pentacle, the five-pointed star that is drawn on H’s forehead materializes on both of their joined hands, with the only difference being that it is in the middle of a circle with multiple small patterns inside.

The pentagram expresses the domination of the spirit over the elements, and it is by this sign that they can chain the demons of the air, the spirits of fire, the specters of water, and the ghosts of the earth, a protection against evil and cruel spirits.

And in the second that follows the two bodies begin to merge under the amazed eyes of H and El to form one, H’s heartbeat began to accelerate dangerously enough to knock him unconscious.

But he is trying with all his might to resist this weakness shown by his body, while his legs begin to tremble they can’t stand him anymore, it’s as if they were made of cotton all of a sudden.

All the hair on his body and his head start to stand on end on his body, and his blood begins to boil and flow at full speed in his veins as if it were going to drown him.

Various emotions invade him, like powerful and boiling waves. He wants to run away from here, just like he wants to stay to see him, he wants to cry and laugh at the same time what he did. He screamed while crying, an excruciating pain seized him in the pit of his stomach, like the times he put on a show to all the school.

Then he started crying silently, tears of joy, fear, sadness, anger, happiness, and impatience invading his red cheeks, he bent over himself unable to hold on any longer, unable to face this reality which is about to explode before his eyes. he wants to scream at the top of his voice until his vocal cords hurt until he has no more strength left in his body or tears until he hurts himself and disappears like dust in the air.

He only wants to hurt himself to fight this pain he feels, this psychological pain is worse than physical pain and he has always hated his seizures which made him act crazy, he couldn’t allow himself to end his life to no longer feel them, he couldn’t disappoint his parents after all they did to help him stay away from his destiny.

He struggled for a long time with this desire to fight his inexplicable sorrows with pain, this pain that consumed him without ever knowing its origin, this pain that prevented him from sleeping properly, which crushed his guts without pity, he did everything to keep it under control to prevent him from committing the unstoppable, the unforgivable. He did it all not just for himself but in consideration for the others... his parents and Marc especially

He writhed under the pressure of this unbearable pain that devoured him from the inside, he felt his flesh melt on his bones like cheese as if he were stuffed in a burning furnace, and he watched his flesh melt before his eyes without being able to move a finger and he let out a heart-rending cry, a cry of tribulation, a cry that explains all the pain he is facing.

Bravael plugged his ears and looked away from him, unable to watch him suffer before his eyes when he could do nothing to help him get better, he remembers those unfortunate, disorienting, and terrifying times in the city of Yolpem. It was this same pain that drove him to lose his mind, his reason, and all his goodwill.

It was to alleviate this pain that he set Mount Yolpem on fire and ashes, the cities where the inhabitants worshiped him. which drove him to destroy everything he had built. Many residents turned their backs on him, but that hardly helped the situation.

He heard him cry day and night, morning and evening for years, gods and humans were overwhelmed by his cries and cries of distress, which manifests themselves in dangerous downpours and flooding for the humans.

After the Battle of Signum, in which he defeated Fenrir, they thought it was all over, that his pain was eased. But great was their surprise when he began to attack them, then he attacks the humans when he learned the truth about the death of his beloved friend.

Many of them understood his pain and desolation, they blamed Hera’s involvement in this act of barbarism which today hangs over their heads like the sword of Damocles.

They always knew, and she knew he was a flagrant danger to mortals and immortals alike, but her hatred for him was greater and she followed her impulses instead of reason.

When he had no more strength to pursue men for their misdeeds and ingratitude, he shut himself up and closed his ears to their prayers and supplications until they wasted away.

A wolf and a god at the same time, the emotions whether positive or negative when manifesting themselves in a supernatural being multiplied by a thousand. And grief is their worst enemy, not to mention guilt. But he, he lived with both, he no longer had a reason to be.

Another devastating scream escaped from the depths of Howie’s entrails, who began to punch the ground with his fists which were all scratched. He needs physical pain to help him fight that of his soul in pain, that of his broken and crumpled soul. He needs an escape, he needs a shortcut to all the pain that’s drowning him.

By dint of hitting the ground with his fists, his bones begin to break until he can no longer close them, but he continues tirelessly to rage on the ground again and again. He no longer gives them time to heal, he doubled in speed and despite this, his bones begin to heal tirelessly too.

He got mad at himself for not even being able to feel physical pain like ordinary mortals. The speed at which he heals prevents him from satisfying his needs and this annoys him.

He closed his eyes, took out his claws, and plunged them into his abdomen, uttering a cry of terror. Then a dead silence fell over the room making it even scarier than before.

With the cries, Bravael was sure he was fine even though he was in pain and now this silence, his senses told him, that nothing good had come out of it.

Bravael slowly opened his eyes, unplugging his ears, he slowly turned towards the door with fear in his stomach, his eyes swollen so much he cried and his nose running like a kid, he is a whole mess, but he still retains his charm and exoticism.

What he saw made him cry out in horror, ignoring the boys floating around the room he rushed towards Howie, who was leaning against the door nonchalantly, his face peacefully rested, his features relaxed.

Only the traces of tears left on his cheeks, which indicate that he was not well, and his ten fingers buried deep in his abdomen. It wasn’t just his claws that were buried into his body, he plunged his two hands into his belly.

He was finally at peace, the peace he had been looking for for centuries.
