“What?” Drake and I say at the same time.
“We have been having attacks for months, Chase has ingested quite a bit of wolfsbane over the last two months, so have I but not nearly as much as he has. Our wolves are quick to heal but Chase has had that much in his system; his wolf hasn’t been able to get rid of it completely before we have been attacked again” Tate explains. Now I understood why she was so upset, Arial has spent months going to appointment after appointment trying to figure out why she can’t carry a baby to term when it wasn’t her at all, it was chase”
“And my brother let her believe it was her with fertility problems?” Drake asks, shocked. I walk over draping my arms over Arial hugging her, “I swear I never would have hid that from you if I knew Arial” I tell her and she nods against my shoulder.
“This explains why him and dad have been making mum and I use blood bags though” She says and I look to Tate, he shrugs because I have been doing the same up until the last week or so and even Ashley, Tate had only just started letting her use his blood the last couple of days so it now made sense why.
“I didn’t want you to worry, I am fine” Tate answers.
“Maybe let him drink your blood” Drake says and I was shocked to see him actually trying to help my sister.
“He has been that’s what I thought was so strange, I thought he only wanted my blood because he was so tired all the time” Arial says before sobbing again. Even Tate seems shocked by that, so was I. Our blood has huge healing properties compared to normal werewolf blood though, it was no good to us, it could easily heal a werewolf usually or human. Drake seems to think for a second.
“Can I borrow your phone?” Drake asks, looking at Tate. Tate’s brows furrow but gives him it anyway. Drake dials a number quickly before placing the phone to his ear.
“Who are you ringing?” I ask.
“Your brother he is in Avalon City last I heard, he might still be there if he isn’t on his way here already”
Arial looks up while watching Drake talk on the phone. My brother seems pissed off but agrees to what Drake asked him as I hear his voice through the phone.
“I will ask Avery if there is anything Chase can take, I am going to kill your brother once he knocks her up though” He says before hanging up. Drake hands the phone to Tate.
“You would really try to help after everything I did” Arial asks, a little shocked.
“You’re still my sister inlaw and he is still my brother Arial” Drakes says, sitting back down and turning around to continue feeding Ashley and Titus.
“I should probably head back and let mum and Dad know Ryker is heading over” She says.
“Your father knows already he told me last night, maybe stay for a bit let you both cool down, last thing you want is Ryker showing up while you’re arguing” Drakes says, as she spoons another mouthful of scrambled egg in Titus’ mouth.
“You’re feeding them eggs, it’s too thick” I shriek and Drake looks over at me.
“Lana, Ashley had no problem eating hers, they are werewolf babies not human babies. You don’t have to make everything so runny” Tate says and Drake turns back to feeding Titus. Titus gums munching away on the piece he has in his mouth. I watch and he swallows it with no problems.
“See?” Drake says and I nod feeling like I overreacted.
“Thank you” Says Arial looking at Drake having calmed down enough. She gets up making coffee. Drake nods but says nothing.
When it is around 3 oclock Tate leaves going outside when Elias knocks on the door. Elias said they may have coordinates to where the humans and rogues have been hiding out and want to send out some scouts so they were meeting up with Ryker.
“I should head home,” Arial says, giving me a hug before letting me go.
“I will run you home,” Tate says, popping his head in the door and Arial rolls her eyes.
“Chase won’t forgive me if something happens to you because I let you leave with an escort” Tate tells her and she nods before following him out leaving me with Drake. Both kids were asleep having their afternoon nap. I start cleaning up the coffee cups and plates from lunch.
Drake coming over to help. “That was nice what you did for Arial” I tell him grateful he at least tried to help even if it doesn’t work.
“He should have told her,” Drake says and I nod.
“Your face has nearly healed” Drake says brushing my hair over my shoulder while my hands were in the dishwater. Drake walks over to the fridge grabbing a blood bag out. My face scrunches up when I see it is all congealed. Drake holds it up looking at it.
“Looks like jelly,” He says shaking it.
“Yeah you will have to heat it and blend it” I tell him hating congealed blood it always had a strange taste.
“Or you could feed off me,” Drake says and I look over at him. I go to shake my head when he speaks again.
“Don’t pretend you weren’t dreaming of Tate and I” Drake says, his lips tugging up.
“I am asking you to feed off me, don’t need to pretend to be appalled by the idea, when I know you want me just as much as I want you” He says.
“You didn’t want me for 6 months Drake” I tell him, stacking the last dish in the drying rack. I feel him move behind me before his hands run over my hips.
“I always wanted you Lana, I just didn’t think you would want me when I have nothing to offer” He says kissing my shoulder and stepping closer.
“I don’t understand how you can think that?” I tell him before turning around to face him.
“Well I never claimed to be rational” He whispers before dipping his head into the crook of my neck before running his nose across my jaw to my chin. I shiver, sparks moving over me making my skin tingle delightfully. Drake pulls back his thumb brushing the four lines going down my face that were trying to heal still. I watch his eyes dart to my lips before looking back up.
