Chapter 28
Aubrey's POV
"Have you lost your mind?!"
Startled by the booming voice of my uncle I turned to see him storming towards Alex and I his fists clenched as his nostrils flared. Alex bowed his head mumbling an apology for his disobedience.
"It was my fault I made him." I spoke up
Halting a foot away my uncle stared down at me his lethal icy gaze as harsh as an arctic blast but I have had enough of bowing my head and crying. It feels like that's all I've been doing these past two weeks, crying, pleading as everyone continues to brush me aside like a lost child who doesn't understand the big bad world. Well enough is enough!
"And I'm not sorry because I have a right to see my mate." I said poking my chin out stubbornly
"The hell you do! I'm the one in charge here not to mention your uncle!" he boomed loudly
"My uncle not my father!" I shouted back
"You stubborn little girl do you realize this is the first time he has lost control since that day! All because you just had to see him."
"So!" I hissed back
"So?" he repeated in a low growl his voice rising an octave "So I'm thinking maybe you have a hand in his temper tantrums."
Taken back by his theory I blinked at him the courage I had only seconds ago vanishing into nothing. Could I be triggering Hunter's attacks; they did start a few months ago around the time things quieted down around town and our relationship grew more serious. Fear gripped my heart like a merciless hand refusing to loosen it's grip as the possibility sunk in.
No! I am not to blame.
Shaking my head of the ridiculous thought I found myself angrier than before. Last year in the forest I stopped Hunter, not my uncle or even Alex; me! This time I didn't get through to Hunter but that doesn't mean I'm the reason he explodes into a murdering fluff ball. And just because I'm his mate doesn't mean I'm some special antidote either. I'm a girl, a regular girl who loves a slightly messed up man. But I believe that that love is enough.
"How dare you even suggest such a thing?" I hissed
"Well there needs to be a reason why he suddenly snapped and started slaughtering innocent people." he countered with a simple shrug
Stepping forward I ignored Alex who told me to back off his head still lowered, placing my hands on my hips I narrowed my eyes hell bent on standing up to my uncle.
"Instead of throwing accusations at random you should try taking a look at the facts but oh no Mr. Mighty alpha would never think maybe there's a logical explanation."
His upper lip curled above his teeth a dangerous growl rumbling from deep in his chest but Hunter's image motivated me to hold my ground.
"You think I haven't went through this problem a thousand times wondering what I'm missing because what I end up with which is either you effect Hunter's wolf or my brother hasn't been honest with me."
"There you go- what?" I asked when his words actually set in
What does my dad have to do with this? Matt's shoulders slumped from their tense, defensive stance as the stress of this case finally showed on my uncle's normally relaxed features. Two crescents circled his mouth, a set of long creases had appeared on his once smooth forehead, and a small wrinkle had formed between his thick brows. Rubbing his large hand over his aged face.
"The pack doctor tested Hunter's blood at the request of Holden and the serum that mixed with his DNA was double the amount that was there last year when Jerry tried making an antidote. The only explanation is that Jerry..,"
