Chapter 42- Amara

"Oh no I am not human. I never was.” She said smirking at him.

And then she was glowing but her energy was weak. I caught on. She is trying to buy time. Her glow

diminished in a second and she was leaning on Ryder lightly but her face showed nothing of her

weaknesses. That must be taking a toll on her human body.

"You are a spirit walker.” Vincent looked agitated for once. “I had you in the palm of my hand and I

let you go. I would have been powerful way before this than waiting for this long for one to be

born.” Vincent was losing it. “I can't wait anymore. I will deal with you later. First I have to kill the

mate of my price.”

With that being said he lunged at Steven. Steven pushed me out of the way before Vincent could

reach us. There was a huge impact and they went rolling down the shore. Steven tried but Vincent

was older and more experienced than him. Steven was already bleeding badly. Vincent was beating

him non-stop. I could feel Steven's pain. I need to do something. I can't take this anymore. I growled

at Vincent when he held Steven by his neck. I knew he was about about to snap it. He looked me in

the eye and snapped Steven's neck smirking. I lost it.

I shifted before I could contemplate what was happening. My mind was taken over by rage. He

killed my mate. I will kill him. I will tear him to pieces. That took Vincent by shock. He just stood

there looking at me with wide eyes. I knocked into him quite forcefully making him fly almost

twenty feet away. I stood over Steven to protect his body. Vincent got up and looked at my snarling

self in wonder. He had blood coming out of his mouth and nose.

“You are wonderful.” Vincent said making me hurl in disgust. “You are more powerful than I thought.

With your mate gone, I will have you as mine.”

Vincent looked like he was about to pee his pants in excitement. He is truly disgusting to even walk

this earth. I absolutely repulse him. Never in my life did I thought I will hate someone so much. I felt

this power course through me and I noticed my fur had started to glow. I felt papa’s presence as

well. He was lending me his strength too. I felt powerful.

“Ryder help the others. I will handle it here. Take mom to safety first and don't let anyone escape.”

I felt Steven heal. Ryder left with mom. Vincent was so engrossed in staring at me that he didn't

even notice that. I moved Steven near the tree line for safety and growled at Vincent in challenge

after I knew mom was gone.

“I will beat you to submission darling.” He said excited.

“How did you get out of there Xander?” I asked.

Ryder growled in protest as I stopped licking him.

“That lady helped me out.” Xander said nodding towards mom.

Now I was mad. Which sane person lets a kid fight in a battle field?

“What the hell mom?” I shouted at her. “Why the hell would you let him pull out of safety?”

"He wanted to.” She said shrugging like it's no big deal.

"He is a pup. How could you let him in a battle?” I growled at her.

"He can handle himself just fine Amy.” She said to me.

I huffed at her in annoyance. You would be saying otherwise if it was Alec or dad in Xander’s place

"Are you mad at me Aunty Amy?” Xander asked in a small voice.

My poor baby.

“No sweet heart. I am just worried about you. You are still a pup after all.” I told him

“You don't need to worry about me aunty Amy. I am strong.” He said puffing his chest.

"Of course you are sweetie.” I cooed at him nuzzling into him.

I heard Ryder huff. His jealous ass just won't stop. I do need to check on the injured as well.

“I will be right back.” I told my brother and nephew.

I shifted back into my human form. Steven handed me a large t- shirt and shorts which I slipped on.

Grayson had a nasty cut on his face and torso. For a old man he has got quite a body. I healed him

quickly and moved on to check the others. Their injuries were already to the point of none.

"We actually pulled that off.” Carter said grinning widely.

That was enough to set everyone in laughing fits. Steven circled his arms around me. I snuggled into

him, breathing in his scent. This is where I want to be, in my mate's arms and with my pack.
