Chapter 3

Amelia

One of my fears was to become like my parents, the other was to leave the world without fixing things between Ryan and I. Little did I know, coming here will uncover a new fear.

A memory that imbedded through my mind, one that caused me to fall to the ground, one that caused Gabriel to pull me out of the place and into my bedroom.

I never imagined me dying or Ryan leaving me, I always assumed we will have forever, forever to finish our fights, forever to have a good life.

My eyes darted to Gabriel who refuse to leave, each time I closed my eyes, I would see him, I would hear his voice, just when I thought Ryan was close, the memory will slam into my mind.

Tears spilled out of my eyes.

“How?” I breathed out, I choked back on a sob as I stared at Gabriel, “I spoke to him last night, he was fine, we had a video call, he kept telling me to come home, to let out of the anger, to forgive him, I didn’t, we were getting better, we were starting to work on issues and.” I mumbled a curse under my breath.

I was going to give him a chance. I thought about it.

Gabriel’s eyes turned to mine.

“Say something Gabriel, my brother is in the living room, barely covered in any clothing, naked, covered in blood, and his paws are out, how did he die?” I whispered. “How did someone hurt a good powerful Alpha like him.”

My feet stomped the ground, I shook my head trying to stop the thoughts, this was by far the worst day of my life, I can’t sit here waiting, I can tell Gabriel is not going to let me know anything.

“Miss Amelia , please wait, you can’t go downstairs.”

“My brother is down there and I am done crying, he was fine last night, someone hurt him and you are telling me not to go down there, not to do anything.” I asked, my chest heaved with anger, I was this close to losing my temper. “I’m going to find out what happened.”

“He was killed.” Gabriel blurted out and my eyes darted to his.

I froze.

A bitter chucked escaped my lips and I knew it can’t be true.

“No. Only bad people get killed and not Ryan and, only people like my father get hurt, not him.” I made my way toward the door.

“You have been gone five years. You kept yourself away from our business, from the clan, until two months ago and you just wanted help, you have no idea what Alpha Ryan has done, what we all had to to do to survive, we know that because we were here.” He spoke and I froze.

I felt my pulse racing, a throbbing sound filled my ears.

I left for a man that cheated and divorced me.

That’s the one reminder I needed to know I have been living a lie, my life has been horrible. It is horrible. I should have stayed with my brother

“Ryan would tell me if something was wrong.”

“You know he wouldn’t, he would do anything to make sure you are safe, he would never drag you into this, what you saw is not even a flicker of the ugliness happening, you are not going downstairs and that’s an order, not until the new Alpha comes over to take care of it, I care for Alpha Ryan and, I watched him grow up, I watched you become this beautiful strong woman who will do anything to get what she wants, I watched both of you fight and break, I can’t protect him anymore but I can protect you Amelia , sit your ass down.” Gabriel spoke. “I know it’s hard.”

His words rolled off his tongue perfectly, I always respected Gabriel.

I don’t know how much I can handle anymore, deep down I know if I saw Ryan-one more time in that state, I would lose my sanity, a wave of nervousness washed over me as I settled on the bed.

“The new alpha. You are already replacing Ryan, his body is not even cold yet.”

“He wrote a will, we are only following it.”

A will.

Why will a twenty-eight year old write a will, did he know he was going to die. What else were they hiding from me, how long has this been going on? I wish he told me he was in trouble, I will come running.

“What happens when he gets here, do we find out who hurt Ryan.” I asked.

I was about to speak when I felt a sharp pain in my heart, there is only one person Ryan will trust with his clan, with his sister, with his life, and dear God I hoped it was not him

I haven’t seen him in five years. I had hoped he had nothing to do with it.

“Tell me how it happened, I can take it.” I breathed out. “Please.” I added.

How do you speak to some one and they die a few hours later. I should have come running home to him when he asked two months ago but I was selfish, I needed help and the moment I got it, I placed my attention back on the lying bastard Asher.

“Not my place to tell Amelia .” He asked, his eyes darting to mine before he stared at at my finger, there was a look of surprise on his face, I know he thought about the ring, why I wasn’t wearing any, he didn’t dare ask.

Gabriel took for a few seconds when he got a call. The new Alpha is here, the moment he made his way toward the door, I followed from behind.

My eyes caught a man standing by the end of the hallway, he had his back turned, I froze when I heard a voice and a familiar curse

Merde.

There is only one person that says that.

Please

I felt my head getting lighter, thoughts poured in faster than I assumed when he turned his head and his eyes met mine, my pulse raced and for a second, I felt my heart stopped.

Every emotion came rushing back to me, it slammed into my chest with force, pain gripped my body tightly, every memory shattered into my mind, Asher leaving me, Hannah betraying me, my brother is dead.

The air thickened, I felt more tears streamed down my cheek, I let out a heavy breath trying to calm my nerves down when my hands slipped off the wall supporting me, a loud voice filled my ears before darkness consumed me.

I stood at the edge of the freezing pond on the Boone estate, my body trembling with a fear that rattled my bones. Across from me, Amanda Olsen looked immaculate in her cashmere coat, a sharp contrast to the jagged reality I was trying to hold together. "Why?" I whispered. Amanda just smiled, admitting she killed Grandpa Boone because he actually liked me. She pulled out a thick envelope-divorce papers Cordero had signed that morning. She told me he called me a parasite and was celebrating with her the night I suffered a miscarriage. Before I could even scream, Amanda lunged and shoved me into the icy water. My heavy wool coat acted like a sponge, dragging me into the artificial abyss. I thrashed and gasped for air, but Amanda just stood on the bank, watching me drown with her hands tucked casually in her pockets. As my lungs burned and the darkness closed in, I realized I had spent my entire marriage taking their abuse. I was the "foster trash" and the "gold digger" who let them win every single time.

This time, the Boone family was going to find out exactly what happens when you push someone too far.
