chapter 242
Ryker POV
She was livid, I had never felt her anger like this, it was worse knowing it was directed at me. She wanted to hurt me, and I could feel her blood boiling the longer we were in the car. The closer she was to me, the more she seethed. Reaching over I grab her hand but she jerks it from my grip.
“I was trying to protect you” I mind-link her.
“You had no right to keep it from me” she says and I sigh before looking in the rearview mirror Tyson and Ace both staring out the window.
I grab her hand and she jerks away but I don’t let go instead placing it on my thigh when she lets her claws out before sinking them into my leg. I let her go, jerking the car to the side. The car skidded to a stop, the convoy behind me tearing off the road too, dust flying everywhere and Tyson and Ace jerking forward in their seats at the sudden stop.
Reika jerked forward my arm just stopping her from hitting the dash because she took her seatbelt off.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Get out!” I tell her and she glares at me before tossing her door open. I get out with her, Tate jumping out of one of the cars behind us.
“Woah woah what’s going on?” He says running over to us.
“Ask him he stopped the fucking car” she screams before she starts stripping her clothes off and dumping them on the ground to shift.
“No, you won’t listen. I told you why I kept it from you, you want to have it out then fine” I tell her tugging my shirt off.
“Come on you’re mad let’s have it, Reika”
“We haven’t got time for this. My fucking daughter is out there”
“And I am not getting back in the car, knowing you want to rip me to pieces” I yell back at her.
“Fine, I will run there myself” she says, stripping her tights off. Poor Tate and the others that had got out of the car all looking to the sky, not knowing where to look when their Luna was stripping naked on the side of the road with no care in the world about her nudity.
“Drake you and the rest head on, we will catch up” Tate calls to Drake who was standing on the door trim of his truck trying to figure out what’s going on. He nods before using his fingers and whistling. The other four SUV’s following him toward the pound, just leaving my car and Tate standing on the road.
Tate pulls a packet of smoke from his pocket. “Don’t even ask, just sort this shit out” he says, lighting it.
Looking over at Reika she was naked but appeared to be arguing with her wolf. I step closer, her head snapping in my direction.
“So what’s it going to be Reika?” I ask her, her eyes glazing over and fur growing on her arms before stopping and I could feel her frustration. Was Amanda refusing to let her shift?
She reaches down, snatching her shirt off the ground.
“Get in the fucking car and take me to my daughter” she growls at me while tugging her shirt on.
“No, not till you understand”
“I do fucking understand, you didn’t tell me because you’re a fucking asshole, she is my daughter Ryker. Mine not fucking yours, you don’t get to decide shit for her, not when it involves her life” she screams at me. She tugs her pants while hopping on one foot. If she wasn’t so angry I would have found it funny watching her try and put them on.
“This is exactly why I didn’t tell you, look how worked up you are?”
“Because you fucking kept it from me, always hiding everything from me, she is fucking mine not yours”
“No but you are, you are mine Reika and you think I wasn’t trying to protect you like you want to protect her”
“She is my daughter, it’s fucking different” she snaps fur growing on her arms as she tries to shift.
“Let me fucking shift Amanda we are wasting time” she snaps at her wolf but Amanda refuses and she looks at me.
“Get in the car, Ryker so help me god I will fucking hurt you” she growls her eyes blazing and her fangs protrude.
“Kids seriously can this wait, times a wastin” Tate says.
“I can’t drive wondering if she is going to attack me and force us in a ditch” I tell him.
“Fine, I will drive, you two get in the back. Tyson in the front” Tate says slinging orders before hopping in the driver’s seat.
Ace’s POV
“Scissor paper rock ya for the front seat” I tell Tyson as we watch them argue on the side of the road.
Tate jumps in the driver’s seat, “Tyson front now” he commands and I groan, Tyson smirking that he gets to ride up front.
Tate lit another cigarette. “Since when do you smoke?” I ask him, leaning forward in my seat.
“Since this shit show, seriously I don’t know how you live with them two” he says looking back out the car window.
“They aren’t always like that” Tyson tells him and I nod in agreement.
“Ah Ryker just get in the fucking car, before she beats your ass” Tate mutters before drawing back on his smoke.
“Does my sister know you smoke?” I ask him.
“Nope, Drake does, one word to her I will feed you your own liver” he says looking over at me in the backseat. I roll my eyes at him. “Bloody Alpha’s” I mutter.
“You are one,” he retorts. Why did we have to get stuck with the grumpy brother in-law Drake was way cooler.
“Fuck this shit!” Tate says starting the engine before leaning across Tyson, Tyson coughing and spluttering as smoke goes in his face.
“Ryker bro, get in the fucking car. I don’t care if you gotta drag her. Just get in or I am leaving” he yells to my brother.
“Pretty sure Reika is wanting to go, it’s Ryker that won’t get in” I tell him.
Reika walks toward the car, Ryker tries grabbing her arms when she swings at him. Tate whistles low as we watch Ryker’s head snap to the side.
“She got him good, that would have hurt” Tate says, a smile lighting up his face and I see Tyson smirk.
“Get in the fucking car Ryker” she screams trying to step around him when he gets in the way of her again. This is ridiculous.
“Is he trying to get his ass kicked, I don’t understand” Tyson says watching out the window.
“I am not sitting in the back with them” I tell them, about to climb over the seat when both doors suddenly open and they get in. Tate floored it before I could climb over, knocking me back. I fold my arms across my chest squished in between them while they scream at each other.
“Shit glad I didn’t paper scissors rock you for the seat, would have sucked if I lost” Tyson mind links and I kick the back of his chair.
Reika’s so angry white fur was growing up her arms, her canines protruding right next to my face. I lean away from her and she seems to notice me trapped between them.
“Sorry Ace” she says and it always amazed me how she never got our names mixed up, even mum did occasionally.
“Just don’t shift, while beside me please” I tell her.
“Amanda won’t let me” she says, sounding annoyed.
“Probably pregnant” Tyson mind links me.
“She can’t be, she would be way too early to tell” I mind link back.
“Her wolf would know as soon as she conceived, it makes sense they were going at like rabbits, for a hybrid baby a week is like a month” Tyson says.
“How do you know?”
“Been reading about it from the books in the library”
“You been reading about babies”
“Yep for when I find my mate and for when we take over lily’s pack”
“You being serious about that, I thought you were joking I don’t want to be an Alpha”
“How can you not want to be an Alpha” Tyson retorts through the link. I roll my eyes, who wants all that stress, I think cutting the link.
Ryker taps Tate’s shoulder also giving up on their lovers quarrel.
Tate hands him his smokes, and Ryker pulls one out, lighting it and winding the window down.
“Give her one, fuck give her three, might calm her down” Tate says and I glare at him. Ryker offers her one but I push his hand away. “She doesn’t want one” I tell him just in case Tyson is right.
“What’s it do?” She asks curiously.
“Nothing makes you cough your ring up, just cuddle me that will calm you” I tell her leaning on her, she drapes her arm over me rubbing my bald head, man I can’t wait for my hair to grow back. I am as bald as a baby.
“Just in case” I mindlink Tyson.
“Once we get there make sure we stay with her” Tyson says and I nod to him as he looks over the backseat at me.
“What are you two talking about?” Tate asks, looking at me in the mirror.
“Nothing bro, just arguing over seating on the way home” Tyson answers.
