Chapter 324
I spend more time in my own head with Leah and the witch then I do in the waking world anymore.
My thoughts are heavy and conflicted, but here… Here I can pretend that none of this is happening. At least until the witch comes to talk to me.
But even that seems different. Like in another life, a different upbringing… Her and I could have been friends. She’s smart and funny, and at times she even seems caring.
It makes me wish I knew her before the complications of life got in the way. Who was she before my dad showed up on her doorstep?
“Have you ever thought about it?” My eyes snap open and I’m looking into hers as she stands over me.
The confusion must be plastered on my face because she giggles, actually giggles and looks over at the open fields of flowers. “Dallas? Have you ever thought he might have been the one.” My eyebrow raises and she waves her hand, “I know you guys have the mate bond bullshit, but before that. Did you ever think he was the one? He’s cute. And he treats you like freaking royalty. I think he’d cut out his own heart if it meant saving you.”
I roll my eyes, “First of all, I’m not his type and second, that’s just his Gamma blood coming through. It’s literally his job to protect me. I know he cares for me beyond that, but it’s just never been that way between us. We’re just family.” I explain and she looks down at her hands. “Family… It must be nice.” She looks over at me, To have people you know you can count on no matter what.”
I swallow, “Did you not have that? With your sister?” I ask her, and she sighs heavily. “I thought I did, until she betrayed me.”
“She betrayed you by helping me?” I ask her, and she nods. She looks down at my hand where a small scar still mars my skin from the crazy night when those men attacked us. I still have several scars from the years I didn’t have my wolf, but this one is still the most noticeable. “She used your blood that night. She used your blood that night, to protect you from me. She knew where this was headed and what I wanted to do, so she was trying to stop it. Granted, if she was smart and not so freaking caring she would have just killed you right then and there. Prevented any of this from happening. Prevented your offspring, prevented the Moon Man… He would have died, Amy. If you had died from someone else’s hands… He would have died and none of this would have happened.”
My thoughts run wild with all the new information, and trying to figure out how to use it to our advantage. She gives me a small smile. “It won’t work this time. My mom used her power to put an entity inside of your father. She was rewarded with power whenever he would kill someone. I went a different route. I placed myself inside of you. I don’t get rewarded until my job is done. Killing yourself or having someone kill you won’t help you, because I am you.”
