Chapter 271
"I just think it is ridiculous they can't hang out and chill. We hung out all my life." She was really pushing this shit.
"I'm not keeping them from doing anything, Sarah; if they want to hang with friends, they can. I don't know why you're pushing so hard to wedge into my mate relationship. You act like they owe you stuff." She glares at me, and her sweet mask slips, and I get a sense of something off about her. Her features seem familiar, like I've seen them before, but I couldn't place it.
"I'm doing nothing wrong, Natalie. You're just insecure," she stomps off, and I sigh.
"Was I too harsh, Emma?" I ask, and she nods no.
"Honey, I would have snapped ages ago. That girl has been all over the boys as soon as she could walk. Her obsession with Theo used to worry Tyler to death. I'm just glad our boy never slept with her." She showed me a crib, and we got back to baby items. I was getting closer to birth, and I hoped everything went well with it.
Sarah's POV
That little bitch is pushing it; I barely held in my temper this time. She got Theo and James, so I couldn't lure them away. Mom said getting her would be tough, but I didn't think it would be this fucking tough. She is the most timid bitch, and I see why her mother sold her. I sighed as I texted her again but got nothing. Three weeks of radio silence, and I was going nuts.
"Answer me. I'm at Savage," I texted her again.
I headed to my adoptive parents' house and plastered on a fake smile. The Franklins adopted me, but everyone here thinks Maria birthed me. Her husband, Jed, is the sweetest but also a pushover; he spoiled me all the time.
"Hey honey, you are home early. Want some food?" My adoptive mom, Maria, was the sweetest lady, but I couldn't stand her at times. She baked and cooked all the time.
"I'm gonna go lie down. I'm a little tired. I will eat later." I rushed off, not waiting for her millions of questions. I texted Theo but got ignored, so I gave up. I was lying there when I heard my adoptive dad, Jed, talk. I moved closer to my door and cracked it open.
"They will execute her in a few days; she gave up all the information on the sick fucks. Amber will be gone, and Luna Natalie will get peace and justice," he adds.
My eyes go huge as I listen to him talk, and I quickly dial the other number but also get nothing. I'm out of time and patience. Theo had been a massive dick to me since I got back, and I absolutely hated it. James is just indifferent, where I'm concerned. He never liked me; even as kids, he stayed away and never fully engaged or trusted me.
"Answer your phone, you bitch," I mutter. I'm pissed now, and I'm also worried; I need her to answer. I lie down, but sleep doesn't come.
"Honey, I hear my mom coming, and I quickly fake sleep; food is done." She comes in quietly but doesn't touch me.
"Let her sleep, babe; she traveled far to get here," I hear my dad, and I internally smile; he always spoils me. He let me get away with a lot growing up.
"She's so thin, Jed; I just want her to be healthy." They leave my room, and I sigh as I sit up. If the Amber they are referring to is the mother of Natalie, I need to move quickly because she can't die. I dial the number of a few friends and get an answer.
"Yes" is barked into the phone. How fucking rude.
"Do you know where Amber is?" I ask. He sighed.
"Captured last I heard." Why?" I sigh. Fuck me.
"By who? "I ask, hoping she isn't here in Savage.
"By Savage." My heart drops. I groan in dismay. This just got harder on me.
"Were you with her when it happened?" I ask, and the sigh I get followed by silence makes me angry.
"Yes, we left in July because she needed help. Amber stayed behind only to get shot twice by Luna Natalie. Savage took her, and we ran. "Anything else? I'm busy," he said, and I hung up. It looks like I'm solo on this now.
Fuck, this is gonna be a suicide mission.
