Alpha's Remorse After Her Death (Amber and Julian) novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271

Immediately, I tugged her back, putting distance between Oscar, Oliver, and us.

At the same time, Aunt Kathy stood. “That’s enough, you two.”

I was immediately relieved to see her there, back and with a cool head.

“It will solve nothing to upset the child,” Aunt Kathy said. “She is innocent in all this, and you lot would do well to remember that, even if you can’t seem to remember anything else, like all the good that Amber has done for

us.”

As she came closer, she glared disapprovingly at the twins, who lowered their heads.

“Get back to your seats, boys, and behave,” she said, scolding them like they were children, when they actually appeared to be in their early twenties.

Still, as Aunt Kathy was something like a matriarch, especially in Gloria’s absence, the twins listed to her and both Oscar and Olivier returned to their seats. They grumbled something to each other, but it was gruff and

incoherent.

As Aunt Kathy looked back at Alice and me, her stormy expression immediately cleared into a brighter one. “Now, that’s out of the way. How are we?”

“Been better,” I admitted.

Aunt Kathy nodded critically. “You will need to be on your guard. I’m afraid the twins aren’t the only ones upset, and then there’s the rest of the pack.”

I nodded with understanding. I would have to think about how to move forward with this sudden hostility, hopefully after discussing it with Julian.

In the meantime though, I needed to get tested for wolfsbane.

“Can you watch Alice, Aunt Kathy?”

When Aunt Kathy agreed, I gave Alice a quick hug, making sure she was okay. When she assured me she was, I hurried to the back hallways to find the supervisor and get my answers.

From the news station, I returned home, hoping to speak with Amber so we could coordinate together what to do next. I had a few ideas, but, as she was part of this, I wanted to include her. Plus, as part of my promise to her, I wouldn’t just make decisions for the both of us without her consent.

She was an important part of my life and our family, and in this family, I wanted to make decisions as a unit. I wanted Amber to be my mate in more than just name. She was my partner in everything.

Yet, when I arrived home, I learned that Amber, despite my warning her not to, left to go to the hospital.

“I’m sorry, Alpha,” the servant said. “She seemed quite agitated by everything. I told her what you said, but she wouldn’t listen at that point.”

“It’s fine,” I said. “Thank you for your attempt.”

As I was about to turn to go to the hospital to chase after her, a voice called out to me from the living room.

“Alpha! Before you leave, you are going to want to see this.”

I followed the voice to one of my enforcers in the living room. They had been searching there for the recording

device.

“Find something?” I asked.

“Yes,” the enforcer said. He motioned the enforcer beside him who turned the picture Alice had admired the

other night around. On the backside, a small recording device was attached, hidden at the corner of the frame.

“We’ve disabled it.”

“Track it if you can,” I said, but even as I said it, I remembered Alice’s words.
