Lysander and Henry took a step away from the door as the sun came in but were very surprised at Betty's actions towards Charles… Even if they agreed with the sentiment. ”Why are you here, Charles?” Lysander asked coldly, very suspicious of the convenient appearance of the elder vampire.
”I could tell my boys were unhappier than normal lately and came to check on you.” was Charles’ serene reply.
Henry glared angrily at the floor, not trusting to look at his… once father. ”You know exactly why I’ve been miserable, you bastard.” he growled softly.
" first you control his life then mine I'm not even yours" Betty growled
Lysander blinked in slight surprise. He had suspected that was what happened to Henry but…
”His was a test. And he failed.” Charles told Betty, frowning slightly. Which was actually an impressive feat for Charles as he rarely showed much expression. ”I suppose he doesn't care about you as much as I thought.” he turned his full gaze upon Betty. ”You were much harder to reach. True, I didn't turn you but one of mine did so I still have some influence. You need to go home and see your blood family. No tricks, you just need to spend time with them and get your head straight.” his voice was sincere by the end.
" you told me not to marry Lysander why" she asked.
”WHAT?!?” Lysander and Henry asked in complete shock, Henry finally snapping his head up to look at Charles.
Charles looked at his boys and the two girls, though his gaze lingered on Tyler for a second longer. ”I have two reasons but first let me say that I know nothing can stop an Eternal pair.” he told them. ”My reasons for interfering at this time are that right now Betty is, regrettably, dangerous due to her darker side and she needs time to calm down and control it. The second is that she needs to speak with her wolf of a father. He may not live as long as we do but it would be unwise for you to marry until you convince him that you are no passive object to be passed off for his benefit.” he addressed Betty specifically.
" is that why you killed my mother?" She asked.
Charles sighed, running his fingers through his short salt and pepper hair. ”Is that what your father told you?”
" fine I'll leave it then i.want.you to.erase my memories of Henry Tyler and . . .Lysander " she said
”No! Don't!” Lysander said as he ran in between Betty and Charles. ”I won't let you!”
Charles raised a brow at her request but shook his head. ”Even if I did, it would not last. Sooner or later you would remember again.”
" then do it no damages done right?" She said.
Charles gave a small smirk. ”Stubborn as your mother.”
”Betty. Please don't do this.” Lysander begged gently holding her shoulders.
Betty kissed Lysander gently
Lysander kissed her back with no hesitation, holding her close to him.
She gently stroked his cheek with her thumb as they kissed
He moved his hands from her shoulders and wrapped his arms around her.
Betty moved one hand to his shoulder and the other to the back of his neck.
Lysander kissed her deeply, hoping in some way to change her mind. If not about leaving then at least about letting Charles wipe her memory… of any of them.
She ran her thumb along his neck as she kissed him back
He shuddered slightly at the motion, a soft moan escaping his throat as he held her closer.
She kept doing it with a smile
Lysander smiled softly into the kiss as he felt her do the same.
As happy as the two were, Charles cleared his throat to interrupt them for now.
Betty sighed and started to pull away.
Regrettably, Lysander also pulled away from the kiss but he didn't let go of her yet. ”I love you.”
" and I love you" Betty said
Lysander smiled a little sadly as he cupped her cheek. ”Please don't do this then. If you have to go and see your family, I don't mind but I… I don't want you to forget us.”
