“Alpha!” Just as the door bursts open. Tim rushed out before shifting in the foyer. Jacob rushed out after him covered in blood. Tim shifted into his grey murky colored wolf and he growled menacingly. Ryker however smiles, his fists clenching as Tim steps toward him snapping his jaw at him. Tim lunges at him and I expected Ryker to shift but instead he steps aside grabbing the back of his neck. Tyson and Ace come rushing down when they hear the hall stand smash to pieces under Tim’s weight.
Tim snaps at Ryker’s hand when Ryker punches him, his head snapping to the side before he picks him up by throat tossing him down the basement stairs. I jump about to go after him when Jacob steps in front of me, Ryker shuts the door and I could hear him walking down the steps.
“No, Luna,” Jacob says and I feel Tyson tug on my arm.
“Come. Ryker will handle it,” Tyson says.
“Reika, listen to Tyson. Come play games with us,” Ace says, pushing me toward the stairs. I looked at the door of the basement, I could hear the feral snarls and crashing when Jacob steps in my line of vision.
“Sorry Luna, I can’t let you down there,” he says. Tyson tugs on my arm again.
“Please!” Ace says and I look at him before nodding, letting them pull me up the stairs toward their room.
“You know what’s going on, don’t you?” I ask Tyson and he nods sitting on his bed.
“And you’re not going to tell me?” I ask and he shakes his head picking up the controller.
We sit in the room for about twenty minutes before I hear the basement door open. I get up walking toward the door. “Reika!,” Tyson growls but I ignore him, opening the door. I see Ryker talking to Jacob who was still standing near the door.
I walk down the steps just in time to see Drake and Tate walk in. They look at me before looking at Ryker.
“Please go back to Tyson and Ace,” Ryker says walking over to me but I shake my head.
“You’re hiding something,” I tell him, shoving past him.
“Reika!,” Ryker says in warning, grabbing my arm. I shake him off and he pushes past me blocking me halfway down the stairs. Drake grabbed my arms from behind trying to pull me back up the steps.
I growl and his grip loosens but he doesn’t let go.
“What’s going on?” I demand. Amanda comes forward and pressing against my skin.
“I can’t tell you,” Ryker answers.
“Fine then! I will ask Tim.” I tell him and Drake’s hands tighten on my arms.
“Let go or lose them.” I tell him, looking over my shoulder. He doesn’t and I growl at him about to turn when Ryker speaks.
“We think Lucy is alive,” he says, making my head whip back around to him.
“What?” I stammer out, he doesn’t say anything and I step down a step.
“I didn’t want to get your hopes up in case she isn’t alive,” Ryker says grabbing my arms and Drake lets me go.
“But, there is a chance,” I ask, feeling my eyes blur with unshed tears. Ryker nods and I look over his shoulder.
“Move!” I tell him,
“Reika just go upstairs, I will deal with it.”
“So he told you where the facility is?” Ryker sighs, shaking his head.
“You kill him we may never know. We can’t find any traces of it existing. Tim is our only lead,” he says.
“Move!” I warn him but he doesn’t.
“What are you going to do?” He asks and I look at him.
“There is no colder feeling than death,” I tell him before shoving past him.
“Reika!” Ryker growls lunging at me but I spin around letting Amanda forward. My hands hit his chest, sending him flying backwards. White fur growing up my arms and I feel my canines protruding. Ryker crashes backwards into Drake knocking them both to the ground.
I see Tim sitting in the chair, a cocky grin on his face. “46! Lovely to see you again,” He taunts but I don’t acknowledge his words, instead kicking him in the chest knocking his chair backwards. He grunts at the impact, the air leaving his lungs. And I jumped on him.
“You need me,” He laughs.
“No. I just need you to speak,” I tell him.
“Goodluck with that. Your Alpha couldn’t get a word from me, what makes you think I will tell you anything? ” He laughs.
“Because I’m not afraid to kill you,” I told him before punching my fist through his chest. He chokes as I feel my hand go through his ribs and sternum. Feel his lungs graze my fingertips before I feel his heart beating in my hand as I wrap my fingers around it.
“Reika!” Ryker screams, rushing over and seeing my hand in his chest.
“You will kill him.”
“He either speaks or dies. I am done being kept in the dark.”
“You kill him, we won’t know where she is,” Ryker tries to reason.
“And he doesn’t speak, we won’t know either!” I snapped at him. Tim chokes, coughing and I put pressure on his heart. Ryker stands gripping his hair.
“You can heal anything but not a missing heart,” I tell him as he sputters, blood pouring from his lips. I could feel his lungs filling with blood as his heart beat frantically in my hand.
“The pound,” He chokes out, Ryker looks down at him.
“We checked the pound,” Ryker tells him. I squeeze, his beating heart slowing and he gasps, his face twisting in pain.
“Underneath it. There is a bunker.”
“Which one?” Tate says, stepping forward.
“Where she is from. We needed her daughter close. All of them close, to get them to comply,” He chokes out and Ryker nods to me, and I let go. Carefully pulling my hand from his chest and he coughs before Ryker bites his wrist, forcing his blood down his throat. His chest closes as he tries to catch his breath. I push off him standing.
“How did we miss that?” Ryker says looking at Tate and Drake. Tim coughs looking at me.
“The floor in Lucy’s cell, the bed covers it. Push it aside and it opens to stairs leading underground.” Tim tells him before he turns his head to the side and lets the blood drain from his mouth.
“If you are lying, I am giving you too Amanda. And you and I both know there will be nothing left of you when she is done,” I tell him before walking out of the cell.
