Chapter b106 /b

    Amber’s POV

    “He was in some kind of a rage,” Chase said. “I didn’t even see the punching really. He moved so fast it was like a blur. One minute we were talking, and in the next I was on the ground with this.” He gestured toward his bruised up face.

    Reaching up, I did what I could to clean the broken parts of skin. I did have some ointment that helped treat bruises, though it was tucked away in a different room storage closet. Most werewolves didn’t suffer bruises or cuts for very long, as most of them had high healing factors.

    Chase, it seemed, was an exception, but that was all tied to his heart condition.

    “You have to watch out for those Alphas,” Chase said. “When they go off the handle, they really go off. And it hurt too. Still does.”

    “You are lucky you didn’t hit your head when you fell,” I said.

    “Yeah,” he said. “I would have been luckier if I didn’t meet Julian at all in that parking lot.”

    I considered his words as a growing darkness opened up in the pit of my stomach. “Are you sure it was Julian?”

    Julian and I had been through a lot. We had our own share of problems. But I’d never known him to be overly violent. He did what he had to do, of course, as Alpha of the pack. Yet I’d never seen him lose control of his anger. I’d been told that even inbat, he maintained a steely persona.

    So I found it very difficult to believe that Julian would attack a man in a darkened parking lot that he knew

    to be sick.

    “I thought you might not believe me,” Chase said. He shrugged like he didn’t take that personally. “Who would? He’s an Alpha, who am I?”

    “It’s not like that,” I said. Julian wasn’t a stranger. I felt like I knew the kind of man he was, cool and strong, not one to lose himself to his base feelings. At least, not outside of the bedroom. The thought made me blush a moment, but I quickly shook it away. Now was not the time for those thoughts.

    “I can prove it,” Chase said. “I thought I might need proof in case anything came up in the future. I don’t want to think our Alpha would turn against me over something so petty, but a regr wolf like me needs to protect himself, right?”

    Chase pulled his phone from his pocket, then scrolled to something in his gallery. When he found what he was looking for, he turned the screen to me.

    On it was a video. ck and white, crude, it looked like security footage,

    “I asked the woman in the hotel office for my own copy of the feed from the camera, just to keep safe,” Chase said. “Not that I think Alpha Julian will make it go missing…”

    He let the words hang between us.

    The footage showed the parking lot. That was definitely Julian talking with Chase. There was no audio to

    the video, so I couldn’t hear what had been said. Chase and Julian were having some kind of conversation…

    I wished I could hear what was being said. Julian’s bodynguage was growing more and more tense.

    Then, like a sh, Julian shot forward, fist first. I blinked and Chase was on the ground.

    There could be no mistaking this then, I realized, with that pit in my stomach growing bigger.

    Julian had sumbed to his Alpha rage and attacked Chase.

    “Honestly, I should have seen iting,” Chase said. “There’s been rumors about Julian for years.”

    At the end of the footage, Olivia appeared, reaching for Julian. That was where the video cut off.

    What had Olivia been doing there? Why was she reaching for Julian?

    I shook the thoughts away, trying to focus again on what Chase was saying.
