Alpha's Remorse After Her Death (Amber and Julian) novel Chapter 307

Amber’s POV

I was trying to act normal for Alice, but truthfully my heart was racing out of control. She didn’t ask many questions, but I wasn’t sure how successfully Julian and I were keeping things from her. She was more observant than we gave her credit for, and seemed on edge, though not as much as I was.

I left her in front of her cartoons, while I stood near the bar, close enough to keep an eye on her, far enough away to twist my phone nervously in my hands hopefully out of her view.

When it finally rang, I had so much pent–up anxiety that I nearly dropped it.

Seeing Julian’s name on the screen, I quickly answered it.

“I messed up,” he said as soon as I did. “Tony baited me and I fell right into it. Now he has a clip of me threatening to kill him. He’s already putting it out to all the news stations.”

I internally cursed. I knew I shouldn’t have left Julian alone. Without me there to calm him, he likely went into a rage state, especially if Tony baited him with threats to either Alice or me.

“Just come home,” I said. “When you are here, we can sort through this and solve this together.”

“I might have to break my promise to Aunt Kathy,” he said. “I can’t see any other way out of this than through a challenge.‘

“We aren’t to that stage yet,” I said. “Just come home, and we’ll figure this things out.”

If he was beside me, I could help calm him. When he was all the way across town, I was powerless.

“Yeah, alright,” he said, finally agreeing, much to my relief. “I’ll take the car home. Don’t let Alice

watch the news.‘

“I won’t,” I promised.

After hanging up, I walked back over to Alice. She wasn’t really watching cartoons. Instead, she was more staring out into space.

I sat beside her on the carpet. “Everything okay, honey?” I asked.

She glanced at me. “Is Daddy going to be okay?”

“He is. We’re all a little stressed right now, but it has nothing to do with you. You are safe, and everything is fine.”

That didn’t seem to make her feel better and she frowned. “Is Daddy going to lose his pack? Are we going to have to go and live with Uncle Rafael? I don’t want to leave Daddy, Mommy!” Tears welled

in her eyes.

“Oh, honey, we aren’t going to leave Daddy.” Immediately I reached out and pulled her into a hug. ” Your father and I are going to fight really hard to keep him in charge of his pack. But even if that doesn’t work out, and that’s a huge if, since we are both working so hard, the three of us are always going to be together.”

“You mean it?”

“I do. There is nothing in the world that is going to tear us apart.‘

“You aren’t going to marry Uncle Tony?” she asked, her voice small.
