Amelia
My eyes grew wide in shock and my heart almost jumped out of my chest in fear. My fingers wobbled and the helmet in my hands fell to the ground as I retreated my step backward, almost losing balance but before I could fall to ground, Zachary held me by the waist before I could fall.
“Are you okay?” He muttered and his voice seemed to calm me down instantly.
“Take your hands off her and Amelia for the umpteenth time, get in the car”
Zachary scoffed, pulling me closer to him as he tightened his grip around my waist. “What would you do if she doesn’t get in the car, wow so you drove past her and watched her walk alone to school. Can’t you see that you are heartless and all of that? Well, I can’t expect anything less from you since you are nothing but a murderer” Zachary fired at him.
Andre shot him a glare. “The last time I checked, I wasn’t talking to you and you dare call me a murderer? Get over her death man! I didn’t kill her and I wouldn’t be exchanging words with you as I have nothing to converse with you on”
“If you still think that I am the one behind her death, then you can go to hell and I wouldn’t be proving my innocence but that girl that you are pulling so close to yourself is an omega that belongs to my pack and as the young Alpha of the pack, I command that you leave her alone!” Andre snarled back at him.
Zachary scoffed before bursting into a peal of hysterical laughter. “Really? Like really? Are you sick in the head? Who the hell are you giving that command to? Have you forgotten that I am an Alpha as well and most importantly, she is my mate!”
Gosh! These were the moments where I wished that I could just disappear into thin air because I hated to be caught up in moments like this! The moon goddess must be mocking me because she knew the dark history between the two of them yet she made them my mates.
Andre had a taunting smile that graced his lips. “An Alpha that goes around accusing people of murder and most especially, an Alpha that couldn’t protect his late girlfriend, is that one an Alpha?” Andre had a smile creeping at the corner of his lips as he glared at Zachary.
I wasn’t only uncomfortable but the crowd that was starting to garner around us made me feel like this moment could just pass. Zachary and Andre didn’t even know that the heated argument that was about to escalate into a fight was about to cause another buzz in the media.
I bit the corner of my lower lips and the only prayer that I wished for was for Zachary to just remove his hands around my waist so that I could pick to my heels and escape before I was caught up in the brawl between the two of them.
But instead, he held me so close that it felt like my soul was about to leave my body, and all of a sudden, he took me aback and I couldn’t believe my eyes for a second. My eyes widened in shock and the gasps from the crowd that was starting to increase with every passing second caused my mouth to slacken.
I was done for! Done for and Luna finally had a reason to kill me and why the hell would Zachary do what he just did now?
Zachary had hurled his helmet at Andre right in his face. The impact of the helmet on his face caused blood to streak down his nostrils while I tried to dislodge his fingers with my hands.
“You are so dead today” Andre scoffed as he wiped the blood that streaked underneath his nostrils with his hands.
Thankfully, Zachary finally let go of my waist as they both charged toward each other and the only thing I wished for was that none of the pictures that were taken should be posted on the internet.
Zachary charged towards Andre with a blow that he missed and before Zachary could regain balance, Andre had pounced on him, punching him so much on the face that his fist was stained with blood.
If I were, to be honest, I didn’t care about their fight! They could kill each other if they wanted since they were both birds of the same feather.
But right now, everyone that surrounded us stared at me in a murderous way! They acted like I was the one who was the cause of the fight when I was not the cause in the first place.
“That lowly omega! She should rot in hell,”
“I wish that I could kill her with my bare hands,”
“This is why you should never help people below your status because they would always stab you in the back”,
“Do you know that she was the main reason why Hailey, Kourtney, and Sabriba were disgraced and now she is the main cause of the rift between them”
Their words filled my ear and as much as I wanted to take to my heels and run for my life, I couldn't find the courage in me to do that. It was more like their hurtful words were the stumbling block that I needed.
Their words were like a sword that pierced through my heart. I have always been the victim, yet everyone treated me like I was the villain even when it was glaring that I wasn't the one at fault. They all glared at me with hatred in their eyes. Some showing the fûck you sign and before I knew it, tears that threatened to fall pressed at the back of my eyelids.
“Please just save me. Someone please save me and take me away from here” I muttered under my breath, ebbing slowly to the wall.
I had hardly gotten to the wall when I felt someone grab me by the wrist and there was a deafening silence that enveloped the whole place. The only sound that could be heard was that of Zachary and Andre who were hitting each other.
His scent wafted through my nose and all the sadness, anxiety, and fear that I felt inside of me disappeared. I raised my head as I stared into his eyes which looked like I could get lost in them.
“Let me get you out of this commotion. You should stick to me because I would protect you like my life depends on it” Chase said, giving me a reassuring smile.
