Alpha's Remorse After Her Death (Amber and Julian) novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277

Julian’s POV

Fury pulsed alongside my blood through my veins. The lingering pain of silver was aching in my legs, but that pain only added to the shame that fueled my rage.

That entire hunt for a new necklace for Alice had been a farce. Tony had led me out there under false pretenses. He must have! He knew there was nothing there, he just wanted the credit for saving my life.

And Healer Kevin, with that look on his face right before he was killed, had been so surprised by Tony’s betrayal.

Gods, why hadn’t I seen it before? Was it because Tony was family? I was desperate to believe the best about him?

When he’d saved my life, I had been so grateful. But we never should have been out there to begin with.

But worse than what he did to me, the stinging of silver, was what he did to Mom and Amber. Mom was his aunt. He claimed to care about family, but where was his care for her when he had been slowly poisoning her over these past few weeks.

I had to put a stop to this, once and for all. And what better way to do that than with a challenge. I survived the one against Roman, so surely I could survive this.

The words were on my tongue, when Amber tugged at my arm.

I looked down at her, seeing her for the first time. Surprise shot through me. What was she doing here?

“Let’s go, Julian. Let’s get out of here and think about this,” she said. “Don’t do anything rash.”

I focused on her and her words, hearing only her through the buzzing in my ears, through the roar of my wolf in my mind.

Focusing on her, I was able to calm down, to win over my anger.

With a lengthy exhale, I released all the air from my lungs, and let go of my fury.

“What’s this, Julian?” Tony said, his tone mocking. “Your mate calls you away and now you can’t even finish an argument with me?” He scoffed. “Your love makes you weak. Aren’t you a man capable of making his own decisions?”

My anger spiked once more, but this time it wasn’t powered by the rage of my wolf. It was instead filled with the righteous fury over just how very wrong he was.

I couldn’t stop my tongue even if I wanted to, my outrage was so strong. “Love doesn’t make me a weak Alpha. It makes me strong. It’s only because I love Amber so much that I know I even have the capacity to love and properly care for the entire pack.”

Tony sneered at me. “You said on the audio that you would leave the Alpha role if Amber asked you to.”

“I would never do that!” Amber shouted from my side.
