Chapter 39 Amelia's Pov

• I was shaking. I thought that Alpha Jackson Kane didn't have any emotions the day he beat up Jeremy mercilessly but I was wrong. Athena Newman was another level of crazy. No matter how hard I tried to forget that, it always seemed to appear in my head how crazy her eyes conveyed nothing but emptiness as she struck the man, not once, not twice but repeatedly until he grew cold and died. When I sleep, it appears in my head. When I eat, all I see is that image. She hasn't been to my room for some time now and neither have I seen Alpha Jackson. According to Simon, he went to an Alpha's meeting that is being held outside this Pack. I think he is coming back today based on what Simon said and that Jackson has a surprise for me but I wasn't even interested in that. He has asked me many times why my hands kept on shaking but I told him it was nothing, that I read a book recently where the character portrayed me and that made me so sad. I know that Simon didn't believe that shady story but he decided to let it go which was more than enough.
• Athena and I have been avoiding each other. Whenever she looks at me, I feel so scared. All that runs through my mind is what if I offend Athena, will she also retaliate by what she did to that man? Would she also hurt me brutally like how she did to him? It was like a normal thing to her to just kill without a reason. I know that the man had it coming when he tried to put his hands on me. I thought she would just scare him off like she should normally scare some male servants who try anything with me but I was shocked when she killed him, even his blood splattering on her face was nothing to her instead there was this sick smile on her face as she poked at the man with the stick as he was with muttering, is he dead? In a funny voice. It was really creepy. I should be grateful to her because if she hadn't come soon, I don't know what would have happened. Athena was right, that man didn't just appear out of mere coincidence. He had an ulterior motive. He wasn't happy that I was the Luna, he kept blabbing about how I didn't deserve to be the Luna of the Blood Moon Pack. He kept talking about how the higher-ups would be happy that he had succeeded in killing me and how that would make everything go according to plan. How I was just an obstacle and a hindrance. I never knew that most people didn't like me as the Luna of the Pack. I should have listened to Jackson when he told me not to go out, now this happened. Athena killed someone looking happy about it even though it was for my own good but I can't think that image she left will ever leave my head. The worst of it all was that she didn't even look sorry or remorseful. When I told her that she should have just knocked him out, the only thing she told me was that she would do it one thousand times again and wouldn't have any regrets and that pigs like him deserved to die. I thought she would try and hide the body but instead, she dragged him out where everyone would see him. When I asked her why she did that, she told me it was to lure out whoever sent him because it wasn't a coincidence. She wanted to let everyone know that Amelia King is not to be messed with.
• Even though Athena tried to put up a tough front, I still saw the sadness in her eyes when she tried to touch me and I moved back. I shouldn't have done that, I acted on an impulse and now I am regretting it because we are back to avoiding each other. It was all my fault. If only I could go back in time. I need to find a way to apologize to Athena but with every effort I make, it seems that she was turning it down. She has gone back to secluding herself, barely making conversation with anyone. I have to fix this before Jackson returns soon because if he finds out what we did, there is no telling what he would do to us both.
