Chapter 37

Mum tackles me before I even turn back to her. Rayan screams jumping out of the way as I

crash into the wall.

“Mum, it's Lucy. I am your daughter” I scream at her when she slaps me. My face whips to the

side before she gets up. “You're Not my daughter you're his". She says and I crawl to my hands and

knees.

“Now GIVE ME MY SON, YOU WILL NOT TAKE HIM FROM ME" she screams at Rayan. Rayan

steps away from her just as I get to my feet. Amanda growls at him and raises her arm back to hit

but I catch her wrist ripping her backwards.

“Run” I yell to Rayan and he darts off.

Mum's hand connects with my cheek, her claws slicing down my face. Her other hand twisting

in my grip. She raises her hand again to hit me when I punch her. I don’t know who was more

shocked, me or her but I still did it, as her head snapped backwards. She growls at me before

attacking me.

“I hate you, you are a monster just like him” She screams hitting me wherever she could.

“I am not him mum, I am yours not his” I yell at her and she stops shaking her head pulling her

hair out, she was manic and I could tell whatever she saw looking at me took her back there yet I

couldn't understand it. I was not my father.

“I am your daughter Amanda, yours, not his I would never take him from you" I tell her but she

scratches her face, clawing at herself and hitting herself. “You are like him, everytime I look at you I

see him, you are him, you look exactly like him” She screams, her chest rising and falling heavily.

“I am not him” I tell her, tears streaking my face. Did I make her this way, is that what she saw

every time she looked at me?

“YOU ARE" She screams at me and I shake my head.

“Everytime I look at you I remember what they did, remember what he did to me, you are” Her

words angered me, how could she, how could she see him and not me.

Getting to my feet I growl at her. “l am not my father”

“You, you,you" She rambles.

“You did this to me, you let them do this to me” She says and I could see she lost it, she wasn't

of sound mind, she was erratic and Amanda was the dominant one now, more dominant then her

human counterpart.

“I didn;t do shit to you, you think you were the only trapped in that place” I yell at her and she

growls stepping toward me but I shove her, shocked by my own strength and anger behind it.

“You weren't the only one in that place, they did the same shit to me, the only difference is you

got out with all of you still intact. They killed part of me, you think you're the only one that suffers

with what they did, what they put us through Amanda" I scream at her.

“They destroyed me” She screams just as the door bursts open. Yet she doesn't notice.

“You everytime I look at you I see him,see that place”

“And everytime I look at you I am reminded how I will never be good enough for you, never be

the good child, you say I am like him but look at the monster you turned into” I snap at her. Her

claws slip into my arms as she grabs me.

“Amanda let her go,” Ryker says behind me.

“She was trying to take him from me”

“You aren't stable to have him, you are taking him from her, you are taking him from mum, not

us” I tell her pushing her back, her claws slipping from my skin but I barely register the pain. Rayan

comes in tears streaking his face and Jacob pulls him behind him motioning for me to come to him

I turn to go to him.

“This is your fault,” Amanda screams before she is charging at me. Ryker grabs me shoving me

behind him and taking the brunt of her attack when I feel his aura slip out and Amanda whimpers

dropping to floor wailing and I to am forced to my knees, my head feels like it is about to explode,

when Jacob's hand wraps around my wrist before jerkling me toward him. Rayan's hand fell on me

and I wondered how I never noticed his aura before his aura got stronger each time I felt him use it,

making me wonder how my brother was able to hide it so easily.

But it explained how he was always able to get out of school easily.

I turn facing my mother who was on the ground at my stepfather's feet, she whimpers and

Ryker looks over his shoulder at Jacob. Tears running down his face and it was the first time I had

seen my stepfather on the verge of breaking down, his voice stuttering as he spoke.

“Get them out of here, they don't need to witness this” He says to Jacob and he nods, pulling

me and Rayan out of the house. Rayan holds Ryden and I take him from him. I hear mum scream

and my heart clenches as the cool night air brushes over us. I knew they would be battling out

Alpha Aura’s making me wonder how much of his aura Ryker would have to use to make Amanda

shut down completely. Judging from my mothers screams, all of his power, all of him he would have

to exert to break her like that. Rayan whimpers beside me and I tug him closer when Jacob's hands

slip over his ears as mum's screams grow louder. Tears slipped down my cheeks listening to her

agony like she was being tortured, but I knew he had no choice; this was the only way to help her.

The listening to her screams was a form of torture on its own and I could feel my heart break

for her, I know exactly what its like to have that part of you die and it is the lonilest feeling when

you lose yourself. Ryden starts crying and shh him rocking and covering his ears to her deafening

screams while Jacob shields Rayan’s who I could tell was focusing on breathing and counting when I

feel warm hands slip over my own and I am tugged backwards against a warm body. Tyson's scent

floating around me and I bury my face in his chest soaking him in my tears, I could tell he ran here

by the fact he only had shorts on.

“Ace!” Ryker yells through the link and I turn my face to see a shirtless Ace walk inside the

house closing the door behind him. I look up at Tyson and his voice moves through my head

“Your mother is stronger and can endure more pain than most, Pain is something Amanda is

familiar with Ryker is having trouble breaking her will, Ace is helping Ryker” Tyson says and I know

Ace would also be helping torture Amanda into submission. Her screams get louder when I feel

Tyson open up the link to Jacob, Rayan, Ryden and me and fill it with the pack chatter to drown out

my mother's screams. Tyson kisses my forehead before tucking the blanket around Ryden up a little

more to cover him before pressing closer to me and using our body heat to keep him warm.O0
