Lydia's P.O.V.

Taking a deep breath I knock on Brazen's door while rocking Hunter back and forth, a couple of seconds later a very shirtless Brazen opens the door trying to ignore his lack of clothing I smile at him, "Hey,"

"Hey...?" He said suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"

Giving him a shy look I adjust Hunter in my arms, "I need some answers Brazen," 

Brazen waved me inside of his room before throwing on a tank top covering himself up, "What kind of answers are you talking about?"

Sighing I sit down on his bed, "I don't know anything about Flynn, I want to know about him but he has his walls up so high I can never really get past them. The only time I see him remotely normal is when he is around Flora."

It was as if alarms went off in Brazen's brain he shook his head, "It isn't my place Dia if you want to know more about him then-"

"I have tried asking him Brazen, please." I cut him off, "It's weird enough that all because of one night my life changed so much, and it's much weirder because I still don't know anything about the guy that knocked me up."

Brazen sighed, "As I said Dia it's not my place, but I can get you the answers you need from someone else."

Confused I ask, "Who?"

"Come with me," Brazen said getting off of the bed and signaling me to follow him, picking Hunter up softly I followed him out of the room and towards Zane and Flora's room. Knocking on the door, Flora soon comes to the door slightly confused. "Aunt Flora, come with us." She looks over at me gently smiling at me before shutting the door.

"Need help with Hunter?"

I shook my head, "No actually...I wanted to know a little more about Flynn's background."

Flora's posture changed, "Come with me, Brazen go on to bed honey."

Brazen gave me one last look as I walked off with Flora towards a big room, it was a beautiful library but there was a small bed in the corner.

"Come sit here Dia," She said patting the bed cautiously, walking over I lay Hunter down before sitting down beside her. "A lot has happened to my son over the years, some of the events have changed him for the worse, and some for the good."

"Flora...I didn't mean to bring up old memories it's just..."

"No, sweetie," She cut me off grabbing my hand, "I understand, it's better if you know, to keep Hunter safe from the things I could keep Flynn safe from."

Carefully listening I grab her hand comfortingly, "He was only 16 when he got involved in all this stuff, normally the 'reigns' were handed over at the age of 18 maybe even 20, I had fought for his safety so many times. Like you, I didn't want Flynn or Brazen anywhere near all of this, but you know what they say, like father, like son. Truly the Alpha status should have been given to Brazen but Flynn..." Her voice cracked, "Flynn had proved himself to be a better Alpha than him. Either way, I wasn't happy."

"Proved himself?" I ask quietly, "What is that supposed to mean?"

"H-He was protecting Allie from some older students at school, bullies but they were also members of the Azar Gang, Flynn had almost sent one of them into a coma by just hitting him with a baseball bat."

I gasped, "Zane...he may seem and act like a good father but when Brazen and Flynn were younger the disciplinary actions he took against them, were harsh and cruel. Flynn has respect for his father, but not love."

"He hit them?"

"Without mercy," Flora wiped her tears away, "It wasn't until I had threatened to leave him once they were 10, that he stopped. For five years I watched them get abused without mercy, I-I felt like a horrible mother, it wasn't until one night I found Flynn with tablets in his hand. He was going to commit suicide." Flynn? At such a young age? "Then I decided enough was enough, I threatened to leave Zane and never come back with my children."

"Then?"

"He didn't believe me, the next day I packed all four of our bags...we were just about to leave when warning bells finally began ringing in his brain. After that day Zane never laid a hand on them...Flynn made it through that but then...he fell in love..."

"In love?"

"Mhm, his best friend...she wasn't a part of this world, her name was Amora Faye Allen. She was a sweet girl, who quickly became his friend in preschool, and their friendship turned into love very soon. Everyone knew that Flynn loved her...everyone knew Amora loved Flynn, but he always wanted to keep her safe, away from all of this."

"Amora...that's a beautiful name." I say, "Can I see a picture?"

Nodding Flora took out a picture from the dresser beside the bed,

"Wow...she's gorgeous," I whisper, Flora hands me another photo of Flynn and her together

"He looks so happy, so carefree." I say in awe, "What happened? Where is Amora?" Flora looked at me hesitantly, "Flora?"

"He...Flynn...He..."

"Flynn what?"

She sighed looking away from me, "Flynn killed her."

I gasp slightly taken back, "What?" I say quietly, "But he was in love with her, I-I mean he looks like a completely different person. Why did he kill her? How?"

"The underworld is very complicated Dia, someone people leave to keep their children out of danger, but they are put into it again once they hit a certain age...preferably they want a boy to lead but when that isn't possible the eldest girl steps in."

"But I thought you said Amora was far from this world like me? Then..."

"The Sniper Gang, established in the 1920's way before we even came around. Her great-great-grandfather Louis Allen, helped Flynn's great-grandfather build this empire that we are sitting on right now. The Spiner Gang is highly off-limits....it always has been, no one tries to challenge it but when Zane came into power he didn't like how the Snipers worked. He didn't like the innocent lives being taken, he didn't like the way it operated so he had spoken against it. Drake, Amora's father didn't like that but he did respect Zane's views. From then and on Knights worked separately and the Snipers worked separately."

"But how does that have anything to do with Amora and Flynn?"

"Savanna Allen was much like you, she didn't want anything to do with the fast life, Drake had knocked her up and kept her with him. Drake was a kind man, but when it came to business he was a complete asshole. Savanna had taken Amora away once she was born because Drake didn't want her...Savanna had almost become like my best friend, but I knew she had to get away because she didn't fit in this life. I learned to adjust quickly but she didn't. Drake had people watching over the both of them for their safety but kept them at an arm's length away."

Sighing I pat Hunter gently as he began to stir, "So Amora was the rightful heir of the Sniper gang?"

"Yeah..." She whispered, 

"How did that lead Flynn to kill Amora?" I ask confused, "If she was away from everything...then why did he need to kill her?"

"That was what they were hiding from us. Amora...she was still getting trained for everything, once she had hit the age of 7 she was training with Harlow, Echo, Brazen, and Flynn. Amora was getting informed of everything as Drake realized that he needed her to carry on the legacy of the Sniper but he had tried to keep it a secret because he wanted was use her for something else."

"What?"

"As Flynn and Amora grew closer...they began dating once they were 16, Savanna and I mutually had decided that what they had couldn't be held back by a number."

"Why did Savanna come back? I mean if she was having such a hard time adjusting then why would she bring Amora into a life she never wanted her to have?"

"Drake brought her back, he promised her that nothing bad would happen to Amora. Drake and her were starting to fall in love, but it was all just a lie. Drake needed Amora,"

"For what?"

"Since Zane had spoken up against him fear had started to build up in his heart, even if he didn't show it. Drake saw how close Flynn and Amora were, he saw how much Flynn loved and respected Amora. He wanted Amora to go in and leak information to him so he could take us down. Drake wanted to kill Flynn before he could become the Alpha."

"Did Amora even love him?"

Flora wiped her tears away before pulling out a small wrinkled paper, "She did...she loved Flynn a lot. But her Drake was threatening her by keeping Savanna hostage. Amora did what she had to do...but in the process, she completely broke Flynn. Flynn loved her more than anything in this world...but she betrayed him...broke his heart."

"How did Flynn find out about Amora?"

"H-He was sleeping one night when he was overheard talking to Drake, Flynn recorded her conversation and confronted her in front of the whole family. This room..." She whispered, "This is the room she was held hostage, this is where she begged for forgiveness, this room is the last time I ever saw her."

I look around the room, "When did she...I mean when did Flynn...?"

"Six years ago,"

Wiping my tears away I exhale sharply, "This room, it's still in good shape."

"Flynn still comes here when he can't sleep. He didn't want to kill her...but to prove himself Zane pushed him. Flynn killed the only girl he ever loved." Flora's voice cracked as she handed me the wrinkled paper. "This is the only thing he has left of Amora...be careful with it."

Flora picked Hunter up leaving the room, as I opened the crippled piece of paper, 

Hey Alpha...

I just want you to know that I am so sorry for everything I have done...and know that I love you, Flynn. I didn't want to do any of it but I had to for the safety of my mother. Drake has her, he has been threatening me with her for the past year, I know that you aren't going to believe me because I haven't given you a single reason to trust me again. But Flynn, what if Zane said that he had Flora? What if he sent you into my life? Would you still hate me?

We have known each other since we were 4, and I have loved you since I was 10...probably loved you earlier but I was too young to know what the feeling was...I know you love me Flynn...and I know what is going to happen tomorrow but I just want you to know that I'm okay with it. 

I made a mistake...and now...now I'm going to die for it. 

If I had one thing I would change out of everything Flynn...I would tell you how much I love you every single day. But I need you to promise me something, Flynn. I need you to promise me that you won't shut yourself off, you'll go out there and look for love. 

Maybe one day you'll find a true Luna, who will show you the true meaning of love, and maybe even love you more than I do and maybe you will love her as much as you loved me...

I love you...

Amora Faye Allen...Your Luna...
