Golden (Book 1 of the Golden Series)

Chapter 75

Aw man hi, I literally don't know what to put in this authors note because I don't want to admit that this book is nearly finished and I don't want it to be. 

Depending on how much I write, there's only going to be one or two chapters left, if I split it if it gets too long.

The likeliness is that it's going to be one.

One chapter after this.

It feels weird.

I love you guys so much.

CHAPTER 75

"You don't look so confident now, do you?" Carter sneers, wiggling the glass vial between his fingers, his laughter making my skin crawl. 

"You think that's going to be enough for the whole pack?" I point out, praying that my voice doesn't sound as shaky as I feel.

In all honesty, I didn't know how much of the plant was needed to kill someone. For all I knew they could have had enough there to wipe out every single werewolf left on the planet. But acting confident would at least make them second guess themselves a little... wouldn't it?

Carter's smile slips at my words and he growls something under his breath.

"Unfortunately," Matt chimes in, turning to face us as he moves away from the spot he was glued to, "No, this wouldn't be enough for the pack."

"If Andy hadn't smashed the other ones then maybe-"

Matt cuts of Carter's rambling with a quick and deadly glare that makes his mouth snap shut in a second. 

Andy had gotten rid of the wolfsbane. 

"That's why you killed him?" I state, watching how Carter's eyes turn downcast and his fists clench, "Because he trashed your supply."

Between the two of them, Matt looks to be the one whose trying to control himself, while Carter seems to be in silent anger, his eyes attempting to make a hole on the wooden floor.

He's on edge.

"You didn't mean to kill him, did you?" 

It's so obvious now; the way Matt looks almost ashamed of what he's done but also furious, the sadness in his eyes that he seems to not allow himself to feel - he'd lashed out in anger when he found Andy and once the rage had subsided... he was dead. 

Matt chooses to ignore my question, instead he moves back to the window, pulling his phone out and clearly avoiding thinking about what he had done and the implications of it. 

"Anyway," he sighs, "Your father has gone to sort out that problem and hopefully, we'll be getting a new supply soon." 

So that's where he went.

"So, then that's your plan?" Kristie snorts, her finger drawing a circle around us, her smirk seeming to grow as she focuses on the large windows and worn down furniture, "Just wait in here until the rest of your squad gets back?"

"That was the plan," Carter sighs, putting the items in his hand down onto the table, "Unfortunately, Tracey has ruined that idea so we're going to have to improvise."

Luke comes back into the room from behind us, knocking us out the way as he storms over to Matt and hands him something, the whispers between them too quiet for me to make out.
