"Reika, wait!" I hear Ryker yell after me as I climb the stairs.
"Reika, wait!" Ryker says running up the stairs before grabbing my arm, I spin around facing him and he takes a step back. "You knew she could be alive and kept it from me."
"I didn't want to get your hopes up. There is a chance she isn't alive."
"I don't care! You had no right to keep that from me." I tell him just as I see Tate and Drake start walking up the steps toward us. I move into the foyer to let them pass. Tate and Drake walking over to Jacob before looking at Ryker. "I will gather some men and we will head out there."
"Ring Aamon and get him to meet us there," Ryker says looking at Jacob who nods, pulling his phone from his pocket. I step past them going back upstairs to get changed into my own clothes. Ryker followed me into the room. I walk into the walk in, grabbing some tights and a shirt. I strip my clothes off, replacing Tysons' with mine. Ryker grabs a shirt pulling it over his head just as I go to walk out.
"Reika, wait. Just stay here," Ryker says, grabbing my arm.
"No. I am going to get my daughter." I tell him before shaking his arm off and walking back out.
Tate was still in the foyer, Drake was gone though.
"I'm not taking you with me!" Ryker yells after me.
"Fine! I will go with Tate." I tell him just as I reach him. Tate looks over my shoulder at Ryker coming down after me before Tyson and Ace come rushing down the stairs.
"No! You are staying with Reika." Ryker growls at them but Tyson rolls his eyes at him.
"Our Alpha aura doesn't work on her. She will leave and follow. Ryker, be reasonable. Let us come, then you will know where she is. Don't and she will still leave anyway," Ace tells him.
"So what's it going to be?" I ask and he growls.
"Fine! Get in the fucking car! Jacob, watch Tim, and don't let him out this time." Ryker says to Jacob who I hadn't noticed was still in the room.
Ryker
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.
"Get out." I tell her and she glares at me before tossing her door open. I get out with her. Tate jumped 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 followed 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 here,," Tate says.
"I can't drive wondering if she is going to attack me and force us into 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.
