Ronnie faced him fully. “Beck, you know he won’t be with anyone else.” The man just shrugged.
“Just in case.”
Ronnie shook his head and turned back to me. “Why did you ask when her birthday is?”
I turned back to the necklace and Aurora. “Because I wanted to know what her birthstone was. You see Aurora, Decembers’ birthstone is turquoise. But emerald is May’s birthstone. Now, why would your mother get you May’s birthstone when you were born in December?”
I swung the necklace in her face. “It’s my favourite gem. Give it back to me now!”
“No. I think I will keep it.” Her eyes bugged out of her head.
“You can’t take it.” She fought harder, tearing her skin, and burning the silvered rope deeper into her skin.
I pulled my necklace out and held them together. “Why not? We both know this is my mothers, and not yours.” I held the matching necklaces side by side. “My mother’s birth stone and mine. Now, why would my mother buy a matching necklace with your mother? I mean, it’s identical right down to the wolf.” I watched her breathing pick up. “What is more likely, one that has already been confirmed, so don’t lie, is that you found this necklace in my mother’s office, you know, the one that you liked to break into. You stole it, and you are using it to manipulate my father.” I crouched down and watched her face. “Am I close?”
Her face paled even more, and she shook her head. “No. It’s mine.”
“We both know that’s a lie. I’m going to keep it. And I’m going to go see my father. Maybe I’ll get lucky and find something on him that has a matching glow.” I smiled as she lunged at me, screaming. “Oh, and Aurora?” I punched her in the face, breaking her nose. “That’s for using a spell against my father.” I turned and stood. “Take her back to her cell and don’t let anyone else around her.” Beck nodded.
“What are you going to do now?” Ronnie led me out of the interrogation room that Aurora was still screaming in.
“Amy, you stupid bitch, you think you won? I’ll kill you.” She screamed as Beck dragged her out, but I just let out a chuckle.
“You couldn’t hurt me if you fucking tried.” I snarled and released my aura, causing all three wolves around me to drop to their knees. I walked over to Aurora, who had dropped to the floor. “You are a weak wolf that resorts to lying and spell work to steal a wolf that doesn’t belong to you. And after everything, you failed.”
“Amy…can you tuck your aura away? It’s painful.” Ronnie’s voice was strained, and I snarled one last time before I tucked my aura away.
Beck staggered to his feet, scooping Aurora from the ground. “What the fuck was that?”
Ronnie pushed himself from the ground. “That, was Amy.”
Beck’s eyes widened and snapped to me. “There is no way. She’s just a pup.”
“An Alpha pup.” Ronnie patted my shoulder. “I’m assuming you want to go see your father now?”
I glared down at Aurora. “Yes. Let’s finish this.”
“You won’t find anything.” She laughed. “You won’t change anything. Because you are as weak as your pathetic excuse of a father.” I snapped back and punched her again, her nose shifting on her face, completely shattered.
“Get her out of my eyesight before I make sure her nose heals that way and ruins that perfect little face.”
She howled in pain as Beck dragged her away. “Amy.”
“What?” I whirled on Ronnie.
He held up his hands in surrender. “Nothing. Just wanted to know if you had your wolfs bane today?”
“Yes. Why?” I snarled again, still riled.
“Because your hands are shifted.” Ronnie nodded down and I looked to see my arms covered in black fur.
Chapter Thirty-Six
N
ix?I called out in my mind.
I’m trying to rein it in, but she pissed me off.Her voice was low. I watched her shake herself, but she was still riled. Megan trotted over to her and rubbed her side down Nix’s. I watched as my one wolf calmed my other one, and when Nix finally nodded, I opened my eyes to see I had shifted back.
