"Why won't you let me see her! " she screams, ripping at her hair and scratching her face. I grab her trying to restrain her, but she is extremely strong while riled up.
"She is dead," I tell her as she breaks free of my grip.
"No, my wolf, she promised she was alive, she smelt her, they had her clothes," she says.
I shake my head picking up the file and pointing to her death certificate. "She is dead, Reika. She died just before they let you out," I tell her pointing to the page. She looks at it and shakes her head.
"I can't read this, you know I can't read, you're lying," she says tossing the paper before turning back to the DVD player. She plugs it in, and I grip my hair trying to find a way out of it. I mindlink Tyson.
"I need your help," I tell him.
"What's going on?" he asks.
"It's Reika, I need your help" I yell to him.
"On my way" I cut the mindlink to see she had figured out the DVD player and was pressing the buttons. The screen flickered on and I turned it off, grabbing her wrists and pulling her away.
"She is gone, I'm sorry. But you can't watch them"
"She is not gone!" she yells trying to make me let go. When I don't she bites my arm and I rip her closer.
"You can't watch them, please listen, you don't want to watch her die," I tell her. And she freezes looking at the screen.
"That video is of her dying; you don't want to remember her that way"
"She is alive, 46 promised, she promised!" she says thrashing in my arms.
"Reika, I won't lie to you."
"Then turn it on, I want to see, I need to see, to know for myself," she says, and I shake my head.
"Reika, you shouldn't watch"
"Please" she cries.
"You don't want to see it," I tell her, but she thrashes, throwing me off. She turns it on, and I rush at her but she tackles me, knocking the air out of me before landing on top of me. I grab her holding her down when we hear a little girl's voice, and she freezes looking at the TV over her shoulder. I try to get up, but she shoves me down.
"Lucy, it's time" we hear a man say. I turn to look at the TV recognizing the voice.
"And then I can see my mummy?" Lucy asks and I see photos of her mother on the walls, all photos of her mother in her cell.
"I promise after this one you can see her," The man tells her. It was the same man that was in the cells, the one I nearly killed.
"Okay, what do I have to do?"
" I just need to give you a shot," he says, grabbing her arm.
"Then I get to see her," The man nods, stabbing the syringe in her arm.
"No, no," Reika says, looking at the screen.
"Don't watch," I tell her trying to shove her off just as we hear the first bone break, and her daughter's agonized scream.
Reika covers her ears, her daughter begging the man as her bones all start snapping simultaneously. I got up covering her eyes, but she was rocking back and forth her hands covering her ears when we heard a sickening snap, which I knew was her spine. Reika screams as her daughter just stops, no noise, just her staring up at the ceiling with broken bones and her spine jutting out her chest. Reika's breathing becomes harsh and in big pants before she jumps to her feet.
She grabs a chair smashing the TV, a scream leaving her that made my blood turn to ice in my veins. My stomach drops and she loses it, she starts trashing my office and even upturns my desk before attacking me.
Completely out of her mind as she pummels me, knocking me to the ground. Brax pressing beneath my skin but refusing to do anything as he whimpers in my head.
"Brax do something" I scream for him as she bites into my neck. Her canines pierce my shoulder and he finally shifts, forcing her off us as our bones snap. Thank God for her wolf being dormant because I think she would have actually killed us; she was completely blinded by her agony.
Brax growls at her, forcing her to submit and she whimpers, her eyes blazing back at us as he corners her. Reika drops to the floor, our Alpha Aura rolling over her but Brax whimpers not wanting to hurt her. She cringed away as he approached before he licked her face, cleaning her tear-stained cheeks. She clutched his fur and he whined loudly, her hands pulling on his fur, he pressed his face in her neck and pressed his weight on her.
She breaks, the flood gates opening, and she breaks, sobbing into his fur, clutching his neck. I feel him force us to shift back and he whimpers in my head. Her nails dig into my flesh, and I wrap my legs around her and my arms and pull her to me.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" I whisper, kissing her hair when the door opens. Tyson and Ace busting in before freezing at my upturned office, I shake my head, and they back out of the room. I could hear them waiting in the hall in case I needed them.
I just hold her till she cries herself out, eventually, her crying and wailing turned to hiccupped sobs before she succumbs, eventually passing out in exhaustion and I was too tired to even get up so instead, I rested my head against the wall not wanting to wake her, we both fell asleep where we were.
