After dinner, Amelia’s father ran upstairs and went into his office. Amelia and I helped her mother clean up dinner. I talked with them the whole time, we were careful to avoid anything that would piss her father off.
A few minutes passed before he walked downstairs, that smug look still on his face. I gritted my teeth, I want to slap that smirk off his ugly face.
Amelia chuckled at me and shook her head, I rolled my eyes. Once we were done, I looked at her father. He was focused on the tv, he didn’t show any sign of noticing me. I quickly excused myself, claiming I needed to use the bathroom.
I quietly ran up the stairs and into his office. I closed the door before turning to face his desk. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of the document.
I picked it up, my heart was pounding against my chest now. I opened it and began reading, as I read through it, fear tightened around my heart.
This is a copy of the file on her death. She was put in as a rogue, her full name was there, cause of death and her crime.
Attacking the alpha’s daughter.
I ran my hand through my hair and dropped it. How did he get his hands on this? I gulped and grabbed it, I turned around to leave, but came face to face with her father.
He chuckled at me in a dark way, I watched him with wide eyes. He was replaced by Edgar’ angry form. I couldn’t move, my fear paralyzed me. I wanted to scream, to cry, but couldn’t.
Edgar is going to kill me for snooping in his office.
Get a grip, Mel! This isn’t actually Edgar, it’s Amelia’s father!
I continued telling myself this, but my PTSD didn’t go away. It had a firm grip on me, it slowly strangled me.
“Big mistake.” Was all I heard before my world went black.
