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 ps 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 ws 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, wing 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. “I 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 ce” 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 ce, 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 ce”


    “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 ws 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 ws slipping from my skin but I barely register the pain. Rayanes in


    tears streaking his face and Jacob pulls him behind him motioning for me toe 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 exined 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


    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 nket around Ryden up a little more to cover


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