Chapter 14 Fourteen
Amy's POV
My brother looks so much like he's about to eat me alive. What exactly does he want me to say when he's looking at me so terrifyingly? I can't even lie to his face. But I've learnt how to lie the past few days because of the situation.
I wouldn't dare to tell him that I was dropped by the evil Alpha. Everyone is running away from Damien of the Flaming Moon Pack.
“Why are you not saying anything? Which luxury car dropped you off earlier? And was that a man inside that car?” He questioned me again.
I quickly shook my head. “That's just a friend. Besides, why do you sound like it's bad for a luxury car to drop me off? I literally come from a rich family and that's something you all can afford, right? Is it bad for me to have rich friends? Stacy is not my only friend, you know.”
I defended myself even though I knew I was blatantly lying. I can't tell him the truth. I know my brother. He will barge in on Damien and try to attack him. He might lose his life in the process or even bring trouble for the Red Moon Park.
Oof, just imagining it makes me shiver. I can't tell him the truth. I have to be shameless.
I will investigate and find out who that person is. If I find out that you are keeping bad people that you're not supposed to, you're going to hear it from me. He threatened me, but I suddenly got angry.
It's because of the way everyone is treating me like I can't go out that I've been mocked everywhere. It's suspicious since my family keeps telling an adult like me what to do. The whole world would find out that I don't have a wolf eventually anyway.
“Why are you all treating me like I'm a baby? I literally told you that I just went with a friend. Am I not allowed to go out anymore? I'm over 18.” I shouted at him and left.
That was just a defense mechanism for me to run away. I didn't want to explain anything to him anymore. Even though I was angry, it was also a great opportunity for me to stop talking. Once I got to my room, I switched on my phone and called Stacy.
I haven't talked to her since I got into Damien's clutches. She needs to know everything that's going on. She needs to help me find a solution because I don't think I can do this anymore. It's becoming infuriating and annoying.
Even though I love what he does to me, it needs to stop because he sees me as a plaything. How am I going to get my meat at this point? His interest in me infuriates me a lot. I waited for the phone to ring and she finally picked up.
“Amelia, what is wrong with you? Where the hell have you been? Your parents have been looking for you all day. You haven't called me since, like, the party. You left with someone I didn't know and I tried to look for you. I had to lie to your parents that you slept at my place and you didn't even bother to call me.”
I listened to her rant on and complained and I felt guilty. I have used her to lie the past few days and I haven't even called her to tell her what was going on. That's because I didn't even get a chance to. This bastard keeps appearing everywhere and he's sticking to me like a glue.
“If I told you I got stuck with the devil, would you believe me?” I replied her.
She gasped. “What is going on? I did hear some of those idiots say that you found a mate. Is that true?” She questioned me again.
“I don't really know how to explain this to you. But I did find someone to pretend as my mate in front of them that day. Now I don't know how to deal with the situation I created.” I explained to her.
“What does that mean? You already found someone to act. Just keep acting if you need it.”
I shook my head like she could see me. “You don't understand. He's the devil. He's even worse than the devil. He's after my life.”
“What? Who is this bastard? Tell me so that I can deal with him for you. Maybe we can just kill him and hide his body.” She suggested and I wanted to laugh.
I always find it funny when she suggests something absurd. However, I know she's always doing this to make me smile when I'm in a bad mood.
“You can't kill him. Instead, he will kill us if we try.”
“Who is he?”
“Alpha Damien of the Flaming Moon Pack.” I blurted out.
I didn't need to be close to her to get the reaction that I was expecting. I heard something drop from around her, and I could hear her breathing.
She wasn't close to me when those idiots tried to bully me that I didn't have a wolf, and I made that hasty decision. If she was there, she would have protected me. But now there's not much I can do about it.
“What did you just say? Alpha Damien of what? Are you serious? Are you out of your fucking mind? Why would you go close to a man like that? Do you really want to die? He's a psychopath, Amelia!” She scolded me immediately, which I expected.
And I know it will be worse once my family finds out. This is what I'm trying to avoid exactly.
“This is just a preview of what is going on. I haven't even told you what happened yet.” I added.
“This is not something we can talk about on the phone. We should meet up tomorrow and talk about this. We need a solution as soon as possible. Your family must not find out you had something to do with a man like that. Do you understand?”
I nodded even though she couldn't see me. “Thank you, Stacy. I really needed someone to talk to and I didn't know who else to tell about this. My parents would kill me if they find out.”
“Don't worry, you have me. Nothing bad will happen hopefully. Just rest and don't blame yourself.”
This is why I like Stacy. Even after she scolded me for messing with him, she would think of a solution with me. And she won't blame me. She was the best friend I ever had my entire life.
The ones who tried to out me were the fakest friends ever and I'm glad I stayed away from them. They're just jealous of me. I don't think I would ever find someone as good as Stacy.
“Good night Stacy. Let's see tomorrow.” I said and ended the call.
I fell down on the bed looking at the ceiling. This situation is way too much for me. What am I going to do? This is everything I've been thinking about since I've met him. But I've never found a solution.
Killing him is something that I wouldn't dare to do because I don't want to lose my head so early yet.
Strangely enough, I was expecting him to sneak into my room again and expecting him to call for me, but he didn't call for me all through the night. Did he finally get tired of me and he's willing to leave me alone?
Why does it feel like I got dumped? Isn't this what I wanted? Why should I feel sad anyway? I've always wanted him to stay away from me and this is the perfect solution.
When I finally fell asleep, it felt strange to me. My body was in so much heat that I couldn't take it. Worst of all, I was having a dream that was strange. It was so blurry, but I could hear a familiar voice talking to me.
I didn't see this face clearly, but the image looked like that of a wolf. Why is a wolf appearing to me in my dream? Is this my wolf? Before I could make more of what the image was about, I woke up and it was already morning.
This felt strange to me because I haven't slept for long and it's already morning. I dragged myself out of the bed to dress up so that I could meet up with Stacy today. Also, I needed to get my revenge on those who made me fall into the hands of Damien.
If it wasn't them, I wouldn't have gone to him anyway. Since they all know how to lie against people, let them see the taste of their own medicine. I couldn't stop thinking about the dream I had.
What was it? What is this about? What is this ominous feeling? Could it be that I'm getting my wolf soon? How is this even possible? I need to investigate more on this. I don't even know what the symptoms of having a wolf are.
But I will ask Stacy once I see her today. If I'm indeed getting a wolf then it means that Damien is responsible for this and he's my lucky star rather than a psychopath. That’s impossible.
