Alpha's Remorse After Her Death (Amber and Julian) novel Chapter 322

She was saying my name. It took a minute for me to hear it since I had some ringing in my ears. I most have broken a few bones, but I felt them all popping into place now, the speed of my werewolf healing helping tremendously.

“Julian?” Amber asked. There were tears in her eyes, as well as some hints of fear.

What was she afraid of? I had caught her. She didn’t need to cry.

Lifting my hand, I cupped her cheek and wiped away some of the tears with my thumb.

“I’ve got you,” I told her. “I’ll never let you fall.”

“Julian,” she said again, with so much emotion in the single name. She seemed to be struggling with any other words but that. This was fine with me. I understood what she was trying to say.

By now, my bones were mostly together again, so I sat up and cupped her face with both hands now. Then, I leaned in and softly kissed her, placing my lips gently to hers.

She placed her hands over mine. When we broke for air, she finally found her voice. “I love you, Julian. I love you so much.”

The words filled my chest like air, as vital and important.

“I love you too, Amber. So much.”

It was then that I heard some aww noises from the crowd. Amber’s cheeks turned red at once, and I too felt some embarrassment as we realized we were being watched.

I lowered my hands from Amber’s face, down her arms, to hold her hands.

I still wanted to touch her, even if we had an audience now.

“What happened?” I asked.

“Olivia pushed me,” she said.

At once, we both looked up. There was no one standing on the rafters now. Wherever Olivia was, she had made a

dash for it.

I started to stand, and helped Amber up to. Turning to face the crowd now, I searched for the head of the council’s face. When I found him, I demanded.

“We know Olivia is responsible for this attack on my wife. We have to send the guard after her.”

The head of the council seemed concerned. He might have even agreed with me.

Yet, before he could speak, Tony stepped forward.

“Wait!”

Everyone in the room turned to look at him.

“There is no time to wait,” I said. “Olivia is making her escape even now. She needs to pay for what she’s done.”

“I don’t care about Olivia,” Tony said, “Quit trying to steal the spotlight, Julian. Amber. This is a debate between the two of us, and we need to finish it.”

“There is no time for that!” I said, raising my voice now in my anger. Every moment wasted was one where Olivia was getting even further away. Ignoring Tony now, I turned once more to the head of the council. “We have to mobilize at once.”

“Don’t change the subject!” Tony growled. He stepped closer to me, getting right up in my face.
