Morning Drama

Amber

 

 I felt different as I walked away from the room I was sharing with the twins. My head felt like it weighed a ton, and I was little on the dizzy side. ‘I’m just tired,’ I told myself.

 ‘Is that it?’ Lilith snickers.

 I ignore her and continue down the hallway. I want to leave with my family and help Shadow Winds with whatever is happening. 

 ‘You need to stay with your mates,’ Lilith speaks up.

 ‘I just want to help my family,’ I sigh and stumble slightly. 

 ‘You need to be careful. The future of all of us is within you,’ she says cryptically.

 “What the hell are you talking about?” I say out loud.

 “Do you always talk to yourself?” Carlton Brooks appears in front of me. I hadn’t seen him approach me, so I jump slightly.

 “Where did you come from?” I blink my eyes and look around. The hallway is quiet, and we are the only two here.

 “Various places,” Carlton smirks and walks a slow circle around me. My mates’ uncle had already given me an uneasy feeling when I met him. “So, you are to be the queen of us all,” He chuckles. “And my nephews will be your Kings.”

 “I guess,” I shrug. “I didn’t ask for it.”

 “No one asks for something like that,” Carlton stops beside me. He lowers his face and inhales, “Interesting,” He mutters.

 “What?” I narrow my eyes at him.

 “You don’t know?” He tilts his head.

 “No,” I snort. “I have to go,” I say and continue down the hall. 

 “I’m surprised you got Skylar to come around to the idea of his fated ate,” Carlton walks beside me. He is wearing an all black suit adding to his already sinister vibe. “I mean my nephew was adamant that he would never accept you.”

 “I know,” I laugh. “He made it abundantly clear when we first met.”

 “So, what changed?” Carlton stops in front of me and looks me up and down.

 “I don’t know,” I mutter.

 He sniffs again, “I think I know but it seems you don’t.”

 I roll my eyes and walk around him. 

 “Be careful, your majesty,” Carlton warns me. “You never know who your enemies are.”

 I stop and look back. Carlton is gone and I shudder. “What the fuck?” I whisper to myself. I hurry and step outside and see my family gathered around the cars. Victor is talking to my uncle in a hushed tone as I approach. 

 “You need to keep Amber extra safe, Vic,” I hear Uncle Henry say. “The attack on my pack was only the beginning.”

 “I will keep her safe, Henry,” Victor responds. 

 “I will send extra warriors,” Uncle Henry says.

 “I don’t- “Victor stops when he sees me. He grins and pats my uncle on the shoulder. “I’ll see you in the dining room, Henry.” He looks at Dad, “It was good to see you again Flynt.” He nods at me and scrambles away.

 I watch him leave and look at my uncle. I am tempted to confront him about what I heard but I turn my attention to Dad and Dylan. “I want to go with you guys,” I demand.

 “You have to stay with your pack, sweetie,” Dad tells me,

 “You are my pack,” I whine.

 Dad grabs my shoulder, “Amber, I love you. You will always be my daughter, but NorthStar is your pack now. You need to stay there.” He leans in and kisses my forehead.

 “Dad,” I complain.

 He pulls me into a hug. I hear him inhale, “Are you wearing perfume?” 

 “No,” I snort. “When have I ever worn perfume?”

 “That’s why I asked,” Dad lets go of me. 

 I hug my brother, “Tell Nina I said hi.”

 “I will,” He kisses my cheek.

 “I miss my Lukey. Tell him Auntie Amber loves him,” I giggle.

 “I will,” Dylan responds. “Take care little, sis. I love you.”

 I sigh as he steps towards the car. 

 “You take care, Amber,” Dad tells me. “Be careful,” He looks me deep in the eyes.

 “Dad,” I roll my eyes. 

 “I love you, kiddo,” He pats my arms and follows Dylan to the cars.

 My grandparents walk up hand in hand. Grandpa touches my cheek.

 “You look more and more like your mom,” he tells me. “I wish my Catie was here to see you and the woman you have become that you are about to become.”

 “I am just me, Grandpa,” I scoff.

 He chuckles, “You are more than just you, Amber Elyse,” He kisses my cheek.

 I shake my head as he hugs me. 

 Grandpa stiffens slightly and pulls back to sniff me.

 “Why is everyone sniffing me?” I grumble.

 “You smell different,” Grandpa responds. “You know how males can detect their unborn offspring?” 

 “Yeah, so?” I shrug.

 “Anyways, be good,” He kisses my cheek.

 Grandma walks up to him whispers something in his ear. They glance at me and giggle. “You stay out of trouble Norman,” Grandma orders him.

 “Yes, dear,” Grandpa shakes his head.

 They all get into the SUV and wave as it drives away. Uncle Henry stands a few feet behind me. I turn to him. “What were you and Victor talking about?” I ask him.

 My uncle shrugs, “Just alpha stuff.”

 “You aren’t an alpha anymore,” I remind him.

 “Amber, sweetie, I will always be an alpha,” He winks. “Are you coming to breakfast? I’m sure your mates are waiting for you.”

 “I’ll be there, Uncle Henry,” I tell him.

 He squeezes my shoulder, “I’ll see you then.”

 I take a deep breath and try to walk away. Grandma grabs my shoulder.

 “How are you feeling this morning?” She asks.

 “I’m fine,” I shrug. 

 “Just fine? Do you feel dizzy or just strange?” Grandma continues grilling me.

 “I’m fine, Grandma,” I snarl. “I’m a little irritated that I can’t go home to help.”

 “Nightstar is your home,” She corrects me, and I let out an irritated growl.

 “Grandma,” I complain.

 “You need the protection of your mates,” She brushes a strand of hair behind me ear. “Especially now,” She grins.

 “Why is now different than any other time?” I ask.

 “You don’t know?” She laughs. “You will.”

 I shake my head as Lilith counters my grandmother’s laugh. Everything starts to spin around me, “I need some fresh air,” I throw my hands up and start to walk away.

 “We are already outside,” Grandma says. “Sweetie, you need to get some breakfast.’

 “I’m not hungry,” I snap and quicken my pace. I hear her sigh but don’t look back. Lilith is pacing in my head, but I am mostly ignoring her. I find myself in the gardens surrounding the Manor. I sit on a bench and stare into nothing. Tears fall down my cheeks and I have no idea why. 

 ‘You need to eat something,’ Lilith tells me. ‘They need you to stay strong.’

 ‘Who is they?’ I say.

 ‘Your pu- ‘

 “NO!” I scream out loud. Denial sets in and I am on my feet. I continue walking through the large garden passing by statues and ponds. I keep muttering to myself as everything that is happening to me presses down at once on my shoulders. 

 “Amber,” I hear a whisper of a voice I haven’t heard for years. 

 I look up and burst into tears at an apparition standing before me. She is wearing the same outfit she had on the days she died, “Mom?” I cry.

 She raises her arms to hug me, “Amber, it’s time you embrace who you are.”

 “Embrace what, Mom?” I cry out to her. I start to sob, and my mother disappears, “Mom,” I call to her and sob harder. I hug my stomach as I start to feel queasy and sit on another bench. “Embrace what?” I close my eyes and let myself cry for another moment. The wind picks up and the scent of rain and the forest comforts me.

 “Amber,” I hear Tyler call.

 “Amber,” Skylar’s voice follows.

 I open my eyes and see them making their way towards me. I stand up on unsteady legs as they reach me. I fall into Skylar’s embrace and sobs into his chest.

 “What’s wrong, baby?” He strokes my back,

 “I don’t know,” I reply.

 Skylar inhales deeply, “I think I know what is wrong and why you are crying.”

 “I know why too,” I hear Tyler say.

 I pull away from Skylar and wipe the tears away. “What?”

 “You are preg- “

 “No!” I yell and walk away from them.

 ‘Denial will only hurt you,’ Lilith mutters.

 ‘Leave me alone,’ I grumble at her. 

 “Amber,” Tyler calls to me.

 I ignore him and walk towards the Manor. I want to get away from everything but then I get a strange feeling.

 “Amber,” My uncle’s voice calls out and I nearly run into him.

 “Uncle Henry?” I say as I look at him. He appears distressed. “What’s going on?” I ask as Grandma and Victor walk up to us. I sense the twins behind me as well. 

 My uncle takes a deep breath, “Sweetie, you might want to sit down,” He gestures to a bench.

 “Tell me what is wrong, Uncle Henry,” I demand.

 He presses his lips together, “You really should sit down.”

 “Tell me what is wrong!” I shout with more force than I was intending.

 “Amber, the car blew up,” Grandma joins in. “The car carrying Norman, Flynt and Dylan blew up.”

 “What?!” I scream. “What do you mean it blew up?”

 “It blew up. We don’t know if anyone survived or not,” My uncle adds.

 “NO!” I say as tears stream down my face. “DAD!” I shout and start to walk away from everyone.

 “Amber,” Tyler grabs me arm and I struggle to get away from him. “What are you doing?”

 “I have to go find them. I have to make sure they are okay,” I blurt out. I struggle to get away from Tyler and get more frustrated when he wraps his arms around me. “Tyler!” I try punching him. “Let go of me.”

 “You can’t just go running off,” Tyler argues.

 I manage to elbow him hard enough to make him let go. Lilith whimpers because I hurt my mate, but I am determined to find my family members. “I am not losing another parent,” I cry out as I walk away from Tyler.

 Skylar grabs me and holds me tight.

 “Skylar!” I scream and struggle.

 “Calm down, Amber.”

 “I have to find them,” I cry. “Why won’t you let me find them?”

 “Honey, it’s too dangerous,” Skylar tries to reason with me. 

 “I am a warrior,” I say as I flail about trying to get free of Skylar’s grip. “Please let me go!” I plead with him.

 “I can’t let you do that,” Skylar says. 

 “Why?” I demand.

 His grip goes slack, and he turns me to look him in the eyes, “I am trying to protect you. You can’t just go running off.”

 “WHY?” I roar. 

 Tyler walks up beside us as Skylar loosens his grip. I try to walk away again but both grab me.

 “Why?” I demand.

 “Because you are pregnant,” They answer at the same time.
