“Don’t see you being attacked by my family, oh that’s right your sister killed mine” He snaps as he goes around the roundabout.
“You father was a prick, no great loss there” I spit at him instantly regretting the words as they left my lips. Drake slams on the brakes and I go flying toward the dash, his hand stopping me from headbutting it as the cars comes to a stop.
He growls spinning in his seat to glare at me. “Fucking say it again Lana” He spits at me, his entire body trembling as fur sprouts from his arms.
“I’m sorry I shouldn’t have said that, that was cruel” I tell him realising how nasty that was to say when his father was dead, I knew he loved his father even if he should hate him, it was still his dad. Drake try’s to reign in control, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the steering wheel.
“I’m sorry” I repeat touching his arm when I feel he was still struggling.
“Lana!” He warns, he was losing it and I don’t think it was just what I said but everything finally making him snap, my heart thumping erratically in my chest as we sit on the side of the road, his eyes flickering manically.
“Get out” He says through gritted teeth. At first I thought it was funny considering how much he tried to get me in the car, but when his eyes snapped to me, his canines protruding, I realise he had lost it. Jumping from the car, I slam the door shut just as he shifts. The sound was horrendous as I hear him trashing his car, hear the leather seats being destroyed as Titus takes over.
My phone dinging and I pull it from my pocket when I see my brothers car pull up next to me, the window rolls down on the passenger side. Ryker leans over Arial to speak to me.
“You good, or do I need to get out?” Ryker says looking at the car moving behind me. I look back unable to see in the windows from the dark tint but I could hear Titus growling.
“Nope we good” Arial watching me her eyes darting to my phone before she sends me a wink. I look down at my phone before snorting when I see it is a notification on facebook, saying Ryker changed his profile picture.
“Ring me if you need me” He says, and I nod watching him go. I wait a few more minutes until I hear silence in the car. I open the door, the stuffing from the seats made it look like it was snowing Drake sitting in his seat naked.
I sit in the slide in the seat, pushing the stuffing on the floor some of it spilling out the door and floating away in the breeze.
“I know don’t mention it” He says, his car was completely destroyed even the dash had huge crack in it and the airbag on my side was deployed and had claw marks through it.
“Thank you for not running off with Ryker” he says starting the car. He reaches over the back into the footwell grabbing some pants and slipping them on.
“You okay?” I ask. He says nothing just stares out the window before driving off again. As we near the city border, I see my brothers car on the side of the road.
“Is that your brother?” He asks looking out the window. I roll my window down peering out just in time to witness Ryker jump out of the car and see Arial dart into the paddock they were parked next to.
“Get your ass back here you brat, I am going to fucking kill you,”
“Everything good?” I ask with a chuckle.
“She put a photo on my Facebook and changed my fucking password” He calls back.
“At least now you don’t look so fugly, think of all the dudes you will pull now” I hear her scream from somewhere in the darkness.
“Arial! Fix it you bitch” He bellows stalking off into the paddock to hunt her down.
“Should we make sure he doesn’t kill her, like I am all for her getting her ass beat but not keen on your mother killing me for allowing it?” Drake asks.
“No, she can handle him” I tell him, Ryker may be bigger and scarier, but she was faster and could easily outrun him all the way home to hide behind mum. Though Avery’s words earlier worried me, was he really that much stronger now to take her on and kill her? I had so many thoughts running through my head. The main one being why he killed his mate, also the thought of a raging Ryker being Alpha of Alpha’s scared me a little.
“What’s wrong?” Drake asks as we hit the highway.
“Nothing, just thinking” I tell him.
Tate’s POV
I knew something was going on by the way the phone cut out, I didn’t catch the last part Ryker said, the reception wherever they were wasn’t particularly good, but when Drake sent a text and told me he was on his way to Avalon City. My heart sank, he hasn’t returned none of my calls, has ignored me and had his warriors turn me away when I have been on his land. Now he was going to destroy the bond too.
Eleven years I waited for him to come around, eleven years of heartache watching as he went about his life while mine was on hold waiting for him. Then when I think things are finally looking up, when Lana finally comes into our life she made me wait two years only to leave me in the end. Was I really destined to have two mates that hate me, am I that unlovable that they both shunned me?
So once again I wait in this house rotting away waiting once again, praying that Ryker could make her see sense. I know he is getting aggravated with my constant calling, but she won’t answer the damn phone. Like how hard is it, to pick up the damn phone. I know she is hurting but so am I. Eleven years of pain spent waiting only to be tossed away again.
I sit in front of the TV. Once again trying to get through to Drake, hoping Avery won’t sever his bond. I get the voicemail, his voice sending shock waves through me like it does every time. Sighing I pace wanting nothing more than to drown my sorrows, yet Lana would be pissed if she comes back. I don’t know how long I paced for when I finally flopped down in my bed. The bed feeling empty and cold like the feeling settling inside me.
Alarm hitting me when I feel his pain through the bond making me sit up. Asher growling in my head angrily. “Find Mate” He growls angrily pushing beneath my skin. The pain radiating yet he didn’t seem angry like you would expect when someone was beating you senseless, no he felt off, something was off but I could feel burning hatred seething within Lana, when I feel it. Feel a teether and I realise he marked her. My heart skipping a beat before I feel Drakes pain again. Was she beating him? It made me wonder because she was ravenous, I could feel her anger and her bloodlust hitting me like a tonne of bricks, so red hot before I feel the last piece, the elastic band that holds us together suddenly being forced in place. Asher yapping in my head wagging his tail with excitement and adrenaline forcing me to my feet.
