Vince looked at me, then he turned to Morgan with a raised brow. "Well, then..." He sat back. "There isn''t much of a choice, is


    there?"


    Morgan turned to me. "Amy, you can''t be serious. I raised you. I was your dad." My eyes shed and Nix was in front in a second.


    "Repeat those words and I will call the Cath Báis for pure arrogance from you. You barely looked at us when we were a pup. You


    did everything and anything to take our mother''s time and attention from us. And when I finally shifted, you stole our bonding


    night." Nix chuffed a warning call. "So think before you open your mouth again, beta. If you step on my father''s legacy and my


    mother''s hard work, then I will not hold back. I will rip you to shreds and reunite you with your mate."


    Morgan paled. "Nix...I didn''t mean-"


    "You dodn''t mean to take credit for work you had no hand in. You didn''t raise me. You didn''t pay my way. You didn''t even house


    1. me. Amy bought the house. Amy''s money paid for everything for her and her mother. You even borrowed money frequently to


    take care of Shannon. And Amy kept quiet for you. But I will not. You use my status around the pack like it is your own. You used it


    for yourself and for you, daughter. You used my mother''s situation to hold us on a leash, but I refuse to be held back any longer. If


    my mother is single, she can leave to escape your archaicw about betrayed females bing ves. And I am too old for you to


    take me as a salve for the provision of age, status, andpletion of school. I do not qualify as a betrayed female even if Brandon


    was fucking your whore because we were not mated."


    "Nix!" My mother called, but she shook our head.


    "No mother. Amy my believe these fools, but I will not. If she decides to mate Brandon, I will go along, but I know the truth." Nix


    turned to face Brandon. "She might be in love with you, pup, but I have don''t believe you." I saw Vince''s eyes tighten.


    Nix, you are blowing it. She growled back at me, but it was Megan that surprised us both. She pushed forward, taking over. She


    tried her best to mimic Nix''s voice. "Prove to me in these next weeks that you are truthful. Otherwise the mating is off." She


    softened. "Do not let me down."


    Then she pushed me forward. I blinked and my eyes faded back to my human eyes. My mom came over and grabbed my face. She leaned in so close and winked. "Are you back, baby?"


    "Yes." I shook, and she held me close.


    Vince looked closely. "She doesn''t have control of her wolf yet?”


    My mom shook her head. "She hasn''t spent a lot of time with her wolf. She shiftedte and went directly to school. Nix is such powerful wolf. If she takes over, Amy can''t fight it." My mom answered quietly, causing both my wolves to snort. "She doesn''t


    remember much when Nix pushes her back."


    "Really?" Vince looked at me, and I could feel magic slip into the air. "Is that true


    Amy? You can tell me the truth." He phrased it


    as a question, but I could feel themand along my skin.


    Nix chortled. Even his magic is weak.


    Megan sniffed the air. Because it isn''t is, he is using someone else''s. 1


    Nix sniffed the air and then turned to me. She is right. The magic is...


    +15 Bonus


    Familiar. Megan finished for Nix, but then nudged me. Answer him, but make it look like you''re struggling. Like Nix is trying to


    stop you from answering, but his magic is too strong not to refuse him.


    I shook harder and opened my mouth. I forced a grunt and then shed my eyes again. I finally screamed and huffed out abored


    answer. "Yes. When she doesn''t agree with me...she will take over...forcing me to sleep." I made my eyes widen. I turned to Vince


    and sighed. "How?"


    He just smiled. "You are stronger than you think." But Vince thankfully turned away to Morgan. "I think my hands are tied here."

    Morgan looked at me, and I let my teeth descend again, snapping in his direction. He flinched, but recovered. "Ainsley please. Is


    there no other way?" He looked at me. "If your mom agrees to work on things, will you let the challenge go?"


    I nodded. "If she agrees. She makes her own decisions."


    Morgan turned his hopeful eyes to my mother, but she just leaned in. "I would rather see you dead on the ground than spend another day with you." His eyes filled with tears, and then he turned to leave.


    "Wait." Vince called and Morgan froze. "As Alpha of the Oakenfang pack, I dered the bond between Beta Morgan and Ainsley


    Maclean dissolved. The marriage is void, and both are single to bond again." He


    had opened the mind link to every pack member,


    making his decree and dissolving the marriage for the pack to see.
