I curse under my breath, my grip on the steering wheel tightening. Things have escalated the moment my mother is involved. Dayna would be in a heap of trouble and I may just be to. Mom in alpha queen mode was a force to be reckoned with.

I push the car into gear, tires screeching as I drive off. Amelia doesn’t utter a word but I can sense the tension. I didn’t need a link between us to know that the little human, my little human was building a wall between us.

Brick by brick.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience,” the words push out my lips as I get tired of the cold silence between us. Not hearing her voice has become like a pain to me, something I never thought would be possible for me to feel.

I sneak a quick glance at her. Her eyes are casted out the window and her entire aura is shifted away from me. But I knew she heard my words by the way her body stiffens. “I really wanted this date to be perfect,”

There’s a heavy silence that floats through the air and I contemplate if to leave her be or say something else. I didn’t like her silence. It unnerved me.

I clench the steering wheel harder until my damn knuckles turned white. Her silence seem to cut me deeper than I imagined it would. It’s like this tiny human had me in the palm of her hand.

I breathed through my nose, my angering simmering. Not towards her. But towards me. Towards Dayna….towards everything that kept us from exploring whatever this thing between us is. I know I wasn’t the only one who felt it. I could tell she felt something too.

“Ameli-

‘It would never work out anyway,” her voice cracks through the silence like a harsh whip. Her words made me feel uncomfortable. Sick to my fucking stomach. I did not like them.

Amelia-

We

Let’s just get to school. I don’t want to talk right now,” Her words were final, harsh and cold. Something tells me it would better to shut up this time. Saying anything else would only further push her away from.

That I did not want her to do.

So I kept silent until we got to school. In the parking lot there are students still lingering around. I can take the scent of

smoke, blood and.. .fear.

“What the hell happened here?” Amelia’s voice finally broke the silence, her eyes wide on Foster’s burnt car, the crowd that still dawdle around the scene. Her eyes grew even wider, glistening with what I believe was fear and shock.

Before the car could come to a full stop, Amelia’s door is wretched open. I reach out for her but she was quick and out of the car before my lips could move to make her name. Wait!” I shout, pressing the breaks hard.

She doesn’t stop, her legs moving quick and leading her directly to the burnt car. ” Amelia!” I call out her name, slamming the car door close and trying to bury my wolf that itched to come out from the felt because the stench of Dayna still lingered in the smoldering smoke.

Amelia is already pushing through the crowd, her scent growing fainter the more she moves away from me. I follow, shoving past bodies that did not matter to me, my eyes set on her, on the one that mattered.

The closer I move towards the car, the stronger Dayna’s scent clings to the metal and melted plastic like a damn stain that was hard to scrub off. The scent only infuriated my beast as he pushed against the cage I locked him in.

Suddenly Amelia stops, her head snapping to the figure that stood beside the burnt car and I followed her gaze. Foster stand near his burnt car, the stench of terror rolling off of him in waves. His eyes scream disbelief, as if he could not come to terms

She rushes to him instantly and I am about to follow her when a voice rings in my head powerfully. It’s not the voice of my mother. No. It’s the voice of her beast.

Office. Now.”

The command isn’t spoken with anger or was it loud. But it slices through my thoughts and made my wolf stiffen. It wasn’t a request. It was an order from the Lycan queen herself and though she was my mother, she was not in her mother role but that of her leader’s.

“Mom-

“Now,” The command is sharper now, no room for me to deny her request. I looked at Amelia who was comforting Foster and her eyes suddenly move away from his to land on me. I see those gears turning in her head. Her trying to make sense out of nothing.

Foster was telling her Pickett was in the car when it caught on fire. I can see the terror in her eyes. I can see her pain and I wanted nothing more than to comfort her but I knew she would not let me touch her at this time.

”

Where is she Foster?” she asked him, her eyes still on me. They were not warm or shy like they were earlier. No. They were sharp and darting like arrows of hell.

She was taken to a nearby hospital. She was injured but not drastic enough to-

It’s their fault,” her words are a low rumble, swimming with hatred and disgust aiming at….me. I stumble back as if she had physically harmed me.” This was their plan all along,”

Foster’s brows drew into a furrow while Amelia unknowingly hurt me.

Amelia’s eyes flare with hatred towards me. Raiden’s. I just know it.”

What?” he voiced his confusion.

Whose plan?”

Another blow, another stumble and my throat tightens. She blamed me. She thought I had a hand in this. I looked away, clenching my hands into fists at my sides to bury the claws that came out.

“I’ll make them all pay, she snarls under her breath, her words cutting through the air like daggers tainted with poison.
