Flynn's P.O.V.

"Flynn, get out of your room!" Brazen said slamming my bedroom door open I groaned holding onto my head, 

"Fuck off Brazen," I growled, "I have a massive headache right now-"

"Maybe it's because you have been drinking constantly for the past four fucking years every night." He snapped, 

"Shut up," I sigh rolling into my sheets more, "I don't want to have this conversation right now Brazen,"

"You have Alpha duties Flynn, Amora is coming over with the rest of the Sniper gang, get your fucking ass out of bed." 

Now that woke me up, for the past four years the Sniper gang has been after us to reunite again, Amora wants everything to go back to normal how it was before she planned her fake death. Rolling my eyes I threw the sheets off of me, "I never wanted to be the Alpha, you and I both know that." I said firmly standing in front of Brazen, "All this title has given me is pain, first it took Amora away from me, and four years ago Lydia and Hunter."

Brazen glared at me, "You threw the two of them out of the house four years ago. Only Cassie knows where they are and she doesn't tell anyone other than Flora. This hatred of yours has always burned your relationships Flynn, and the truth that Lydia's parents might have been behind the death of your biological mother was too much for you."

"Shut up." I snapped,

"MIGHT have," Brazen snapped back, "And that might, is what you still have to prove."

"The video is proof enough Brazen, I don't want anything to do with Lydia or Hunter, all I was saying was that anyone that has ever come into my life has hurt me. Being the Alpha fucking sucks, but it has its perks. Now get the fuck out of my room, I'll be down in a couple of minutes."

Brazen shook his head before storming out of the room, exhaling sharply I walk into my bathroom, and every single day all I hear from my family is... you didn't have proof, she didn't do anything or you are going to regret throwing her out of the house. 

It's been four fucking years since the both of them have left, but everyone is still up my ass, why can't they understand that the girl that I started to fall for her parents ended up being the murderer of my mom...they took her away from me so soon. I can never let someone like that in my life again, even if it means I have to stay away from Hunter...

Clenching my jaw I walk over to my mini-fridge and open up a beer before chugging it back quickly, wiping my mouth I drowsily walk downstairs where Amora and her group are waiting for me. Amora got up smiling but I gave her a blank look slumping down in my seat in front of them. 

"What do you want?" I ask bluntly,

Amora looked at me shocked, "Ba-"

"Flynn," I cut her off, "Actually Alpha to you, now I don't have all fucking day, what do you want Amora?"

Clearing her throat trying to recover from her embarrassment I'm guessing she slid a file towards me, "A merge, between our two businesses. The Knights and Snipers were alliances a long time ago without any enmity between them, to make both of our lives easier I would like our gangs to join together."

"What about Arlo and the others?" I ask opening the file, leaning back 

"Taken care of," Amora said,

Suspicious I hand the file over to Brazen, "Why now Amora? After four years, you could have come to us at any time, why did you choose now?"

"I was giving you time to heal Flynn," Time to heal my ass, she was fucking Arlo behind my back thinking I wouldn't know. "And I needed to focus on a couple of other things."

I scoff, "On other things? You mean your kid right?"

Amora clenched her jaw, "Don't bring Draven into this Flynn,"

"You fuck someone else, and want a relationship with me," I say bluntly lighting a cigarette, "You don't have to show any of your fake concern towards me, just answer my questions clearly. Why now?"

Raising an eyebrow at me she inhaled sharply, "Arlo, Landon, and Logan are getting a little out of hand. I need proper alliances, the Snipers can't survive without some trustworthy partners. Arlo has tried to cross me multiple times, and I can't trust them."

"So you are switching sides then?"

"The Snipers and Knights have always been together Flynn, we just lost our way," Amora said quietly, 

"Give us a week, we need to look over this file properly, for now, you can leave," I say before standing up dismissing everyone but Amora doesn't move from her seat. "What?"

"I want to talk...about us Flynn,"

Taking a cigarette out of my pocket I light it up glaring at her, "I don't have time Amora, nor do I have any room for you in my life anymore." I tried to leave the room but she quickly ran in front of the door.  "Get out of my way Amora,"

"Is this about Lydia and Hunter?" She asked firmly, 

Blowing the smoke out I grab her arm roughly pushing her out of the way, "It's about you leaving me when you knew you were the only thing keeping me sane. It's about you breaking my fucking heart and leaving me...I hate you, Amora." She gasped rubbing her arm where I had gripped it I opened the door, "And don't EVER bring Lydia and Hunter up in between  our arguments EVER again, Amora."

Storming out of the room I walk out of the house for some fresh air away from everyone. I don't understand why everyone is so hellbent on reminding me every single day that...that I have a kid out there, I don't know how he is, where he is, or how his...his mother is...

No Flynn, you don't need to know where they are, you don't need to know how they are...because you don't need them. 

An alone Alpha is better than an Alpha with a family.
