Chapter 170

“How many more of my family are you going to kill? Who do you think you are?” he shouted stalking towards me. Gabriel went to stand in front of me, but I just side stepped him. “I’ll handle any more of your family that believe they need to get in my way Ames. The problem isn’t me. It’s them. Maggie attacked me for what is mine, and that piece of shit you’re crying over,” I hooked my thumb behind me, “abused me and then killed my father. Then tonight, he attacked Gabriel and I at gun point, so you see? Your family is the one that gets in my way. Not the other way around,” I spat, shaking my head in disgust. These people were all batshit crazy. Ames lifted his hand, his pointer finger aimed at me, “No, YOU HAVE NO PROOF!” he shouted, the scars on my back not enough, I turned to Jack. Before anyone had a chance to make a move he pulled his phone out, tapped the screen then turned it towards Rian, Jay, Ames and Madeline. I knew the video was of what Leo did to my father, I just turned into Gabriel’s chest inhaling deeply letting his scent calm me. When the video was over, everyone took a step back silently, as two men came up the drive and began moving Leo’s body. . . No one spoke as they moved his body, the Elders had now moved off closer to the house. “You knew who I was…” Ames said to my side. “Yes.” “I’m not him.” How was I supposed to answer that? I just shrugged, ready to go home and tell Gabriel about my gifts, hoping that he took it well. At least someone would get answers tonight… Leo knew nothing, and I was right, he was nothing but a complete waste. The events of the night, I was left miffed. “Chelsea!” Gabriel said, reaching for my face again, “You okay?” “Yes, just tired,” I lied but he didn’t push it at all. “Well let’s get you home,” he suggested already leading us back to his car, but all I could think of was how I had no answers. . . Turning around quickly I turned to everyone focusing solely on Rian, “RIAN, BE HONEST HOW DID YOU FEEL ABOUT AUDREY?” “She was nothing but a reminder of my failure.”  Oh god! Jay! Jay I don’t mean that!  I didn’t give her any time, one after the other, I threw questions after question. ”FAILURE OF WHAT RIAN?” “Preventing Jay from mating with his true mate.” “DID YOU KNOW ABOUT ME BEFORE I SHOWED UP?” “Yes.” “DID YOU KILL MY MOTHER?” “No she escaped from the room Leo beat you in," her eyes wide, started to tear up, shaking her head, her hands shaking. I could smell her fear. I ignored everyone else watching this like some type of tennis match. “WHY DID YOU KILL MY UNCLES MATE?” “I thought she had the ring.” “THIS RING?”  I asked pulling my sweater aside. “Yes,” she mumbled, but her eyes were wide, throwing her hand over her mouth to stop the words from coming out. “WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO YOU?” “It belonged to a White Witch, it holds her powers, and my father wanted it.” She growled angrily and shook her head, her eyes pleading with everyone. “WHY DID LEO GIVE YOU AUDREY?” “My father said it was my punishment for failing, I had to raise her as a reminder.” "WHO IS JAX?" "I don't know." I checked her thoughts and she really didn't. “WHAT TRULY HAPPENED TO KATIE?”  I heard a few gasps. “I had to give her to my father for a sacrifice; I lied and said that we were attacked, my father’s men beat me.” Luna Mina looked ready to attack the woman. I looked to Jay, “You’re an idiot.” I turned, walking away, leaving them behind. "She made me say those things! I-I none of that is true! You have to believe me!” Rian pleaded, with whom I don’t know and I didn’t care. Gabriel opened the door, I got in, rested my head against the window, now to go give him his answers.
