    Chapter 89: Theo


    I held A’s as we entered the cer. It kept me grounded, even though we were both ready to burn


    the world down if anyone so much as looked at us wrong. But we would have justice soon enough.


    Then, all of this would be over. We could work on moving forward with our lives in peace.


    Our closest friends stood in the hall outside Amy’s cell. Briggs, Mina, Jimmy, Maggie, even Annabelle.


    They all stood with determined stances. Kylee stood a short distance from them, but her demeanor was


    the same as the rest.


    “Will is on his way,” Briggs said. “So is Sheriff McCabe. We need the witnesses.”


    “Oh, there will be witnesses,” A said as she stared through the ss at the woman inside.


    “Has she said anything yet?” I asked.


    “Other than nastyments that earned her that fat lip and blo ody nose, no,” Maggie said.


    “How do you want to handle this?” I asked A. “Do you want me to go in first or do this together?”


    “We do this together,” she said decisively. She moved to go in but paused, turning back to Jimmy and


    Briggs. “Don’t let me kill her yet. I have something else in mind.”


    Briggs and Jimmy shared a look. Jimmy didn’t even bother to hide his grin.


    I opened the door and stepped in. Amy’s head shot up, her eyes falling on me, then moving to A as


    she followed me in.


    “I thought I heard you somehow survived,” she sneered. “Pity.”


    “Sorry to disappoint,” A replied coldly. “I guess you should have tried harder. Maybe been a little


    smarter about it.”


    Amy shrugged a shoulder. “I also hear it wasn’t a total loss.” Her eyes dropped to A’s stomach, then


    back up.


    My hand flew to the back of her head, mming it against the metal table before dragging her up by


    her hair. A fresh stream of blood flowed from her nose and mouth.


    “Who put you up to it?” Imanded.


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Amyughed. She didn’t even try to fight themand. “No one. I took it upon myself to end this whole


    charade.”


    “You don’t seem the type to cater to Waar P ak rhetoric,” A said. “What’s in it for you?”


    “Other than getting rid of you?” Amy jeered as she struggled to breathe through a broken nose.


    “I get that you hate me, Amy,” A stated. “But you knew this would mean death if you were caught.


    Even you aren’t stu pid enough to risk your life over a grudge. There’s no reason to hate me that


    much.”


    “Wanna bet?” Amy gasped out viciously. “Who said I only hated you? Our pathetic Alpha here thinks


    there won’t be consequences to his actions. An eye for an eye, dear Alpha. You take something from


    me. I take something from you. I wanted it to be your mate, but I can’t deny robbing you of a pup is


    more satisfying. At least for now.”


    I mmed her head back on the table, holding her down as I gripped her neck. I felt her spine start to


    cr ack as she struggled beneath me. But A stopped me before I went too far.


    “Theo,” she pressed.


    I released my hold, stepping out of the spray of blood from Amy’s coughing and spluttering. Suddenly,


    the door burst open and Kylee rushed in.


    “How could you, Amy?” Kylee cried. “What kind of psy cho kills someone because their friend moved


    away?”


    “Don’t f ucking tter yourself,” Amy spat. “You really think I cared about you after you abandoned me?


    After you gave up on everything you worked for. You’re the most pathetic of them all.”


    Kylee shook her head. “What happened to you, Amy? Did you even think twice after John told you A


    was pregnant?”


    A sickening smile spread over Amy’s face. “Who said that’s how I found out?”.


    “What do you mean?” A demanded.


    “I already knew,” Amy replied. “Thank you for that, by the way.”


    Kylee’s face paled. She looked at A desperately. “I swear I didn’t tell her, A. I swear. I would


    never.”


    Amyughed again. “Of course not. But you’ve always been easy to manipte. You spill your guts to


    anyone who shows you a little bit of attention. Did he make you feel special, Kylee?”


    Kylee looked like she would vomit. I started to believe she had been used to get to us somehow. A


    must have figured that out too. She


    was tugging on Kylee’s arm, trying to get her to leave the room. Suddenly, Kyleeunched herself at


    Amy. Her wolf shed in her eyes as her ws extended. A caught her in time, holding her back.


    “Why then?” Kyle yelled. “Why kill her?”


    “Because they took my mate from me,” Amy bellowed. “If I can’t have mine, neither can they.”


    We all looked at each other. None of us even knew Amy had a mate. I reached over and tugged the


    cor of her shirt away to find a mark disyed on her shoulder.


    “Who is this mate we have supposedly robbed you of?” I asked. “Did we kill him?”


    Amy looked at me with a look of pure hatred. “You will,” she ground out. “The Alphas will side with you


    and he will die.”


    “Wait,” A said. “Malcolm Neal is your mate?”


    “We were fated to each other,” Amy said.


    “So, you murdered my child because your mate was stup id enough to get himself caught?” A


    hissed.


    She closed the distance between her and Amy. There was a look on her face I had never seen before.


    It sent a chill down my spine. She leaned in close, grabbing Amy’s chin roughly.


    “You want to be with your mate?” A said. “Then you will be with your mate.”
