Chapter9

#Chapter9

Rhydian draped his arm over my shoulder and my body ignited. Sparks were flying everywhere, my whole body tingled. Every sense was filled by him. I panicked and tried stepping away, he tightened his arm around me. He didn't seem to be affected or he wasn't paying attention to it.

This was the proof I needed. This is the potion.

'No, maybe he doesn't feel it because he hasn't sensed us as his mate.' Aurora said quietly.

'I don't trust him, Rory. I don't trust anyone.'

She was pulling at strings now, I know all she wants is her mate. That's all any wolf wants. Especially mine.

Selena gaped at us, her eyes danced between black and green, she was fighting her wolf for control. She obviously feels she has some kind of claim on him. Maybe she's his true mate and she doesn't like what he's doing. Well, news flash little wolf, neither do I!

Rhydian cleared his throat. I glanced up at him, in shock. "Selena, this is Amaris." He grinned, she looked at him puzzled before saying, "And?"

"My...' I froze, fear coursing through my body... this was it. He was going to annonce me as his mate, destroying me and my wolf in the process. I was getting ready to run.

After the funeral, I'm-

"My Alpha." He stated proudly, interrupting my thoughts. I blinked a few times, trying to clear the surprise from my face. Selena cackled and threw her head back.

"Good one, babe." She chortled. "You really got me there."

I growled, getting ready to launch myself at her. Rhydian slipped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I was immediately calm, I took a deep breath and glanced around. Lucas looked completely bewildered at me. I shrugged my shoulders at him.

No one has ever been able to pull me frem the darkness. One touch from Rhydian and I was pulled back. It's definitely the effects of the mate bond even if he's pretending he doesn't feel anything about this stupid fake bond.

"Amaris Thorne, Alpha of The Dark Wolf Pack." Rhydian snarled. "You'll do well to treat her with respect or you'll have me to answer too." He growled.

I stared up at him, his eyes were like two black holes. His wolf was present, he directed his eyes to me and his features softened... only slightly. The black slowly faded until I was gazing into two beautiful blue eyes.

The longer I stared, the more I saw behind his eyes. I had to fight the urge to draw him to me. His eyes told me things, he'd never probably say. I can see the hurt and struggle. He was gazing at me with such intense, like he was trying to figure something out... like he was trying to figure me out. And I need to snap out of it...

I looked away quickly and cursed myself for staring.

"You aren't Eric's daughter." She grunted, folding her arms. "You're nothing but a dirty murdering rogue." She smirked, pushing her chest out and flirtly playing with her hair.

I pulled away from Rhydian's hold, "Say that again." I growled, stalking towards her. I was seething, I was so fucking livid.

"I bet you're here to finish the job." She snarled. "Your and your flithy rogue friends killed our Alpha." She yelled.

My head was spinning. Everything was turning blurry. "I suggest you shut up, right now." I whispered.

She laughed and stepped closer. I backed away, bumping into Rhydian. He grabbed my arms to steady me.

"Oh look, you know I'm right. You're scared." She smirked.

I wriggled out of his grasp and snarled at him. For a second, hurt washed over his face. Before he regained his posture.

"That's enough, Selena." He warned. " I may be just be filling in as the Alpha, but I still hold some authority." He snapped. She rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"I'm still your Alpha." He added, "Don't forget that."

"Amaris, are you ok?" Lucas said with his voice full of worry.

I took a deep and long breath. I couldn't lose control, not now. I turned around to face Lucas, "Shall we have that talk now?" I asked with half a smile. Lucas mouthed "I'm proud of you." And quite frankly I was damn proud of myself.

"She's the reason your Alpha is dead, you bloody idiot." Selena screamed.

I let out a loud growl and screwed my eyes shut. Lucas was in front of me within seconds, "Control it, Amaris. Remember what your dad taught you" He put his hands either side of my face.

My while body was shaking, it felt like I was vibrating. I began shaking my head and pulling at my hair. "Amaris, look at me." Rhydian said, with a hint of fear in his voice.

I snapped my eyes to him, "Whatever is happening right now. You are safe." He whispered. He came towards me and removed Lucas's hands from me. He stood in front of me, "Listen to my voice, not hers." He nodded.

"Your dad loved you. You're not the reason for his death." He said, gazing inte my eyes.

"What? Why are you siding with a rogue?" Selena shouted.

"You don't fucking no shit about me!" I whisper yelled, just loud enough for them to hear.

"You've only just shown up now. If you are Eric's daughter, where the fuck have you been?" She snapped. "He died thinking you didn't care." She growled.

"Selena!!" Lucas and Rhydian snarled together but if was too late.

I spun around and pounced on her. We landed with a thud. I began punching her in the face while ranting without taking a breath, "I'm not a rogue. I didn't kill my dad. I didn't kill my dad. I didn't kill my dad."

Then the anger took over, my vision blurred, my eyes burned and I was losing control.

My Dark Wolf was taking over.

The last thing I rememer before blacking out was screaming and blood, so much blood.
