Flynn's P.O.V.

After Lydia stormed out of the room I stayed back in the training room, I have been here for the past two hours beating the same boxing bag. I didn't want to feel guilty about what I said to her, I didn't want to feel bad, but I did. 

In these past 7 months, Lydia has created a soft corner in my heart without even trying, she has tried so many times to make things right between us but I keep sending her off, because that is the right thing to do. 

That drive exposed so many things about her family...about her...I can never ever let her in my heart the way I let Amora... I can't put Lydia in the same kind of danger I put Amora in, I don't want to kill the mother of my child like I had to kill the love of my life. 

Punching the bag off of the hook I slumped down against the wall, Lydia and Hunter are safe as long as they stay away from me, everyone who comes close to me dies, anyone, I have ever loved dies, and that's what happened once you take the place of the Alpha...

Lydia is starting to get suspicious, mom had told me that Lydia had been asking about my past, I knew she wouldn't stay quiet for long, but Mom only told her half of the story, Amora...was my girlfriend, the Luna of this gang but that night changed everything...

                                             . . . The Night Amora Died (6 Years Ago). . . 

"Flynn, it's time to put her out of her misery," Dad said walking into my room, I wiped my tears away secretly so he didn't notice. Clearing my throat I stand up in front of him with my gun. 

"Dad, maybe we should wait another week," I begin but Dad glares at me, 

"What are we waiting for Flynn?" I had no idea what we were waiting for, I just didn't want to be the one to kill his best friend, his love...my breath hitched. "Tell me?"

"Nothing," I whisper, "I will bring her from the library into the chamber room."

Dad nodded before patting me on the back, "You're doing the right thing, Flynn, it might not seem like it right now, but people like her deserve one thing in our profession and that's death."

Shaking his hand off I walked out of the room towards the library, my heart began beating faster, I didn't know how I was going to look her in the eyes and hold a gun up to her head. Unlocking the door I step inside, "Get up," I said roughly trying to hide my emotions. 

Amora looked up at me exhausted, her food laid on her bed untouched, "Flynn..." She whispered tiredly, it had been two days since she had eaten anything or drank any water. Clenching my jaw I looked away from her. "Get up Amora," I snap, 

She chuckled tired, "Arya just came in here," She croaked out, "I can't feel my side, she has some strength in her." 

Grabbing her hand roughly pulling her up against me, "Come on,"

Looking up at me she shook her head, "I'm about to die right? Then I have one last wish."

"I don't have time for this Amo-"

"Ora," She cut me off stumbling against me, "Please...for the last moments of my life please, just at least call me Ora."

Pushing my tears back I lifted her up in my arms as she was too weak to walk towards the chamber room, "Flynn?" She whispered, "I did love you you know, I still do." I look down at her revealing the pain I had in my eyes, "And I know you love me too, but my dumbness created these circumstances between us. I wanted to tell you that Drake had my mother, I wanted to tell you that I was being blackmailed but each time I made the move to Drake kept sending me videos of him torturing her...I needed to save my mom Fylnn, please tell me that you believe me."

Stopping in my tracks I put her down pinning her to the wall, "I could have helped!" I snapped looking down into her eyes, "If you had just let me in Ora, this...I wouldn't have to kill you. Dad is so hellbent on proving a point to anyone who tries to cross us but he isn't realizing how hard this is for me. For the past four fucking months I have been watching you get hit, taunted, insulted, do you think I fucking enjoyed that? If you just had given me a slight hint I would have saved Savanna, I would have saved us." 

She shook her head smiling sadly at me, "Would have..." She whispered, "Drake...my father threatened to kill the only person I had in this world, my mom. Being in this world was never my plan, hurting you was never my plan, I just needed to get the drive and hand it over to him."

"Drive?" I asked confused, "What drive?"

"Flynn!" Brazen yelled from downstairs, "Hurry up!"

Amora looked downstairs, "We should go," She made a move to get out of my arms but I held her back roughly, 

"One second Brazen!" I yelled back, "I'll be there soon," Amora looked back at me, "What drive Ora?"

"Drake said that Zane took a drive out of his office, he needs that drive because it has all the upcoming gang details, Zane signed an alliance with Drake, but not with the others. Slowly the other 'dead' gangs are going to stand up again one by one."

Furrowing my eyebrows I tried to remember if Dad had mentioned anything about a drive but my mind had gone completely blank, "For the past two years I have been searching for the drive but I couldn't get my hands on it."

"Flynn!" Dad said firmly standing at the bottom of the stairs moving away from Amora I picked her up in my arms again. She looked at me shocked, taking a deep breath I began to walk downstairs with her in my arms. "Finally," Dad sighed glaring at her before leading us into the chamber room. "Set her down over there,"

Clenching my jaw I set her down in the chair, Dad hands me a gun while Amora is cuffed to the chair, "Go on," He said. 

Lifting the gun up I hesitate, "Wait," I say, "She was talking about some drive dad, why didn't you mention stealing it from Drake to me?"

Dad inhaled sharply before looking over at me, "She is lying,"

"Dad, why would she lie if she knows that she is about to die? Stop lying and tell me the truth." Putting the gun in my pocket I stand firmly in front of him. 

Dad sighed, "I didn't steal it from him, Drake and I have been keeping watch on the 'dead' gangs, it was his responsibility to record all the rising 'dead' gangs, but what I didn't know he was going behind my back and making alliances with our enemies. I took the drive away from him about a year ago, and then after that, I thought he stole it back because I couldn't find it. The drive is missing from my drawer, and I think Amora has something to do with it."

Amora chuckled humourlessly, "So for the past two fucking years I have been searching for something that was never here?"

Dad looked at her confused, "I was sent here to steal the drive back, I'll admit to that, but if I took it away from your drawer a year ago what am I still doing here Zane? Why is my mother still with that monster?"

"Dad, she doesn't have it, we don't have it. Maybe we should put this off."

He shook his head, "She is fucking with our mind, Flynn,"

"Dad-"

"YOU are becoming weak!" He snapped grabbing another gun, 'We don't spare people like her and you know that. If you can't do it then I will."

Grabbing the gun out of his grip I pushed him against the wall, "Stop!" I yelled, "Stop!" Dad pushed me off of him as I stumbled back, "I'll do it," I snapped back turning around I put my gun up aiming at Amora who was sitting there helplessly, she smiled at me sadly, my heart was beating out of my chest. All of our memories flashed through my mind, 

"It's okay Alpha," Amora whispered, the room had gone completely silent, "It's okay...I love you."

Pushing my back tears my hand began to shake not caring about anyone else I whispered back, "I love you too Luna," Pulling the trigger I shot at her three times, the sound of the shots echoed in the room. Allie walked over to her gently checking her pulse,

"She's gone,"

Taking a step back I dropped my gun shakily letting out a breath I fell to my knees, I killed her...I killed Amora...Dad leaned down putting his hand on my back but I pushed him off, "Don't touch me," I spat at him. 

"Flynn," He began but I looked up at him with the most hate I could muster, 

"Leave me the fuck alone!" I yelled, "All of you,"

Dad sighed getting up off of the floor, slowly one by one everyone pilled out of the room, as soon as the last person left I scrambled over to Amora's body, with shaky hands I pushed her lifeless head back moving her hair out of her face, I looked down at her body where I shot at her. Pulling her toward some I cried "I am sorry Ora, I am so fucking sorry." I sobbed, kissing her forehead I kept her close to me but her body was slowly becoming cold. "I love you, and always will. Please Ora, please if you can...please forgive me."

I don't know how long I sat there clinging to her lifeless body...it could have been hours, but all I wanted was for her to wake up and tell me that it was all a horrible nightmare...

                                                                            . . . Present . . .

There is no one I hate, more than I hate myself...

That night a piece of me died along with her, I didn't talk to anyone for weeks, I didn't want to, but before she died she gave us the biggest hint ever...the drive. For the past six years, we have been hunting the drive down...now that we have it, we will be the most powerful gang ever.
