Chapter 329

I ran through the town. My vision had narrowed down to right in front of me. People called, but I ignored them. Nix and Megan were both standing at the barrier. Nix had receded enough for me to take control, but they were pressed against the edge of my mind, hackles raised, teeth bared.

Lynn was ours. We brought her here. Nix snarled, and I nodded.

How dare they do this to her? Megan snapped her jaws.

I rounded the corner, and the pack house loomed at the end of the drive. I sprinted up the driveway and slammed into the door. The growl I released ripped through the house and everyone froze. The omegas all dropped to their knees and a few doors slammed open upstairs.

I panted in the doorway, then I drew in a breath as footsteps started down the stairs. I screamed at the top of my lungs with all the anger in my body. I felt my hands shift into claws, my fangs descend, and my eyes shift. “Where the fuck is Derek?”

Brandon came running down the stairs and slid to a stop when he saw me. “Amy…”

“Bring me Derek,” I screamed. He flinched at the venom in my voice.

“Amy.” He looked around, and I could see the tremble in his hands. I watched as his eyes glazed over, and soon Alpha Vince was coming down the stairs.

I snarled again at his smug face. I pointed at Brandon. “The only reason I am not mad at you is because you were at school. If I had any fucking idea you were involved in this, I wouldn’t fucking look at you again.”

“Amy,” Vince started, but I let out another bloodcurdling growl. He raised his hands, and I watched the color drain out of his face when he realized how close to the edge I was. “Come to my office.”

I snapped my teeth at him. “You fucking dare try to appease me? You were a part of this sadistic fucking game. I call for a Cath Báis. I want Derek’s head.”

Vince’s mouth dropped open. “You can’t…” But he saw how serious I was.

“He’s supposed to be my beta.” Brandon looked genuinely confused.

I snarled again. “Find a fucking new one.” I spun in a circle, pulling in every scent in this house. “Bring me fucking Beta Derek, or I will fucking tear this place to the fucking foundation. Now!” I screamed again, causing the omegas to tremble.

“Please Amy,” Vince walked closer to me.

“You commanded her silence.” I whirled on him. “She was mine to protect. Mine. She was from my father’s pack, only here to find her mate. But instead you kept her here, allowing your future beta to torture her, and you commanded her fucking silence.” I felt my teeth elongate.

Nix, pull back. If you push any farther, you might force a shift. I sent her calming vibes. She pulled back but started to pace. She turned and pushed her voice through my lips.

“Bring me the beta pup, or I will find him and my judgement will be worse.” Vince shivered at Nix’s voice, but he rallied.

“Nix, I understand, but we saved her by keeping her here.” I laughed, but it was filled with venom.

“You can try to pretend you did this for her, but I am not blind, nor stupid. You kept her from speaking.” I stepped towards him. “How long?”

He looked stupid, fumbling with his words. “What do you mean?”

“How fucking long, Vince?” My words dropped to a whisper. “I am holding on to Nix by the tiniest thread here. You kept my wolf here, and your beta tortured her. And then you commanded her silence so that she couldn’t tell…”

He tried to work up a smile. “I saved her from being killed by rogues.”

“You think what you are doing to her is any fucking better?” My eyes glowed so brightly I could see the light bouncing off the side of my nose.

“I thought I had time to figure it all out.” His words were whispered.

“You miscalculated,” I snapped.

“Amy.” Brandon came to my side and I saw the look that Vince flashed to him. These fucking men were dumber than I thought. Vince was begging him to lie, pretend to not be involved, calm her down. Vince could have screamed it. That’s how transparent he was with his veiled look. “I didn’t know.” His words were soft, trembling, begging me to believe him. I felt his fingers slip into mine and I nearly snarled again, but I held back.

He’s trying to convince you, let him. Megan’s words were deadly. She had a plan forming in her mind. I’ll tell you later, but allow the two of them to calm you down. Agree to allow Derek to live as long as he accepts the rejection, and Vince removes the command from Lynn.

Megan, I snarled.

But she shook her head. Lynn deserves his head, but she deserves to be the one to kill him.
