Chapter 525

But why would it matter?” I cried. “She had so many other ways to help, she didn’t have to do this.” I shook my head. I just didn’t understand.

Greyson looked up at me with a sad smile. “You know what I heard for the last four years? Every day when Cass was struggling, she would always say that she wanted to be more like you. ‘I have to be like Amy‘.” He shook his head. “I tried to explain that she didn’t have to be like you because I loved her as she was, but she kept saying that she had to be like you because she wanted to be someone that she could look up to. Someone that our pups would look up to and the only person that she ever looked up to you was you.”

Rowan clutched me tighter to his chest as he felt my body trembling against his. “No.” I fought back against Greyson’s words. ” I’m not someone to look up to.”

“Come on, Amy. You’re an alpha, you’re an amazing person and have always stuck up for Cass. She absolutely loves you. You’re her best friend. Of course she wanted to be like you. You risk it all for the people you love, right?” I nearly dropped to my knees, but Rowan caught me. Greyson looked at me. “I don’t blame you. I swear to the goddess that I don’t. I know my mate made her own choices and I know that if this happened, it’s the goddess’s path. I’m just devastated that my pup is gone and my mate is in this bed. I know that I have to go out and still fight to keep our home safe.” Greyson stood and he looked at the doctor. “Is she stable?”

The doctor looked down at Cass and sighed. “She’s showing no signs of fading, so she stable for now. I’m going to monitor her for the rest of the day to ensure she makes it.”

“What are you thinking? What are you going to do?” I stepped out of Rowan’s arms. Greyson looked back at me and I could see the anger, the hatred burning behind his eyes.

“I’m going to go kill the person who hurt my mate. I’m going to kill the person who killed my pup.” Another tear trembled at the edge of his lashes.
