Chapter 32
Johnathan pov
When amber linked me that will disappear I took off looking for him. I am the best tracker we have and there are only a handful of places he would go. These last two months have been hell on him I have no idea how he is handling it all. Heading straight for his cave I link amber telling her to take Allison back to the pack and help her get cleaned up.
Making it to his cave I cant scent him anywhere inside or out. Starting to panic I keep searching hoping for a clue but finding nothing. Stepping out of the cave I let out a painful howl. My brother and best friend are missing. After I lost both Shawn and brain will be the closes I had to the family left here at the pock other than amber and Tyler. don’t get me wrong I love amber and Tyler but sometimes I just needed someone who understands what it's like to be raised at such a high standard that it's hard to breathe sometimes. I have always had the guys to lean on. But being alpha and beta we had to go to the academy for four years. Far from home we only had each other. I have tried to link him but I can't he has me blocked.
Racing back to the pack I storm up to her room. “what did you do to him?” I demand yelling at her. Amber is trying to calm me down. Grabbing at my arm “john love please calm down.” “calm down?” ripping my arm from her “you want me to calm down when she just drove my brother away and what for huh? Is he not good enough for you? Not rich enough? What is it huh? Tell me right fucking now?” I can smell her fear and see her body shaking in that fear. I should care but right now all I see is the bitch that is ripping this pack apart. Glaring at her waiting for an answer but all she does is cry.
“speak now” I demand. Though she is not in the pack and I’m only the beta I still have generations of beta blood making my command strong enough to order a not fully Luna, Luna, “he didn’t want me so I was leaving. I was leaving. He needs someone more like her.” she points to amber “not me so I was giving him that and leaving. I didn’t want to burden any of you anymore.” her whole being crumbled to the ground crying so hard. The gasping sounds of her breathing between sobs.
Shock floods my body looking at her. Feeling amber coming to stand in front of me. Locking eyes with her she nods telling me it's the truth. Linking her “what is going on?’ “she came to Will's office. She rejected him and ran away. He chased her down. I got them both to calm or I thought I had but she tried to run again. He caught her they had a few words and he howled and took off.” she links back tears in her beautiful hazel eyes.
“I can't be what he wants my brother took his sisters. My brother did horrible things to them. I can't be here. I can't be his. How could he even want me around once he finds out what Brent did? I have been here long enough to know family is the most important thing to you guys. Mine ruined yours so let me go I will go far away or just kill me now.” she cries.
“what did you say?” I am not sure if I heard her right. “Brent what?” amber asks eyes wide staring at Allison. “Brent Clark,” she says amber going stiff. Confusion all over me “umm someone starts talking.” amber is shaking her head covering her mouth. “no-no” amber is whispering. Pulling her to me the fear coming off her filling the room. “explain” “do you remember when we met at the blue moon ball a few years back.?” I nod. “well I was there because my alpha made a deal with another alpha and I was to be taken by Brent Clark to met with an alpha I was being mated to.” wrapping her up in my arms tight. “Brent was not a nice man he was very touchy. He made my skin crawl. Dragging me to meet this alpha he would tell me how much fun he will have breaking me for the alpha. That I better be worth all the money he is getting for the trouble. But then I found you at the ball and you never let me leave your side. Not that I am complaining because by your side is where I want to be. I thought that was the end of it” amber tells me.
The message that Will got the night the twins were taken. You took what is mine so I have taken what was yours. “what why did he take both twins?” I ask looking down at Allison. “to replace the other female you took. But from what alpha William said she was killed in a fight here so not so much taken but killed.” growling at what she said. “what did you do to the twins?” I growl at her. Her sobs grinning louder “I tried to help them but what could I do I was 16. all I know is I saw one all the time after I don’t know what one just that the alpha called her amber. Always told her she was a poor replacement for the real amber. But the other twin I saw again after she was taken to her new master.” she tells me pulling herself in making a ball. “and what was your part in all this huh? You groom the girls for them?” she shakes her head at me I am too mad to see anything but red. Amber turns putting her hands on my cheeks. “look my love look at the girl before you take in what you can see.” using her tone and the bond to calm me I look at the small girl on the floor.
How could I have accused her of being a monster when I can see with my own eyes she took a lot of hits and from silver, it looks like. Who did this to her “who gave you the scars?” she shrugs “tell me please help me understand.” she huffs “I don’t know who they are just whoever Brent gave me to for one thing or another. I didn’t come here to hurt anyone so please just end me now and fix the mess that I made. I am so sorry I caused so much.’ her words breaking my cold hard angry shell. “what do you mean whoever he gave you to?” it can't be what I am thinking, is it? She shakes her head. Not wanting to answer. “how old were you when he first did that to you honey?” amber soothing voice fills the room. She shrugs “I don’t know. I didn’t count my age until I got my wolf. Then I knew I was 16.” she tells us and I was about to die. She was a pup when it started how could you do that to someone.” so he just gave you to people when you were little.” “no Brent didn’t start sharing me for a long time he just kept me to himself. When he found his mate he started sharing with me cause she hated me. But soon he was back at my bed because she wouldn't do what he liked the most. One night he made her watch what he liked to do with me and let's just say she was happy it was me and not her.” this poor girl has been abused her whole life and here I am not making it any better. “does will know about this?” she shakes her head.
