"We need to get out of here," my wolf tells me.
"And go where?" I ask her.
"Home, if we don't they will be mad, they might hurt her."
"That's if they even have her," I tell my wolf and she shakes her head at me. The door opens and Tyson walks in handing me some shorts and a shirt that had my mate's scent all over it. I take them pulling them on before tearing the pants off, the material was too tight and I could feel my bum hanging out. Tyson shakes his head before reaching into one of his draws and pulling out some shorts with a drawstring. I slip them on and the door opens and Ryker steps in.
"I don't like her naked in here with you."
"No, but you had no problem with her freezing down there naked while you tortured her," Tyson tells him.
"How many times do I have to say I didn't know, I thought," Ryker says with a growl, my fingers twitching nervously as he glares at his brother.
"He hurts him and I will kill him," my wolf says as she peers through my eyes.
"You thought wrong, not everyone is Danika, Ryker. She could have run but she came back, now get out of my room," Tyson tells him. Ryker growls at him and steps into the room. My wolf, not liking the way he was staring at him, growls the noise escaping my lips menacingly and Ryker freezes looking at me. He seemed shocked for a second before regathering himself.
"Don't growl at me, I am the Alpha here not you," he says.
"You're not my Alpha" I blurted out before I could stop myself. Tyson smiles smugly before grabbing my hand and shoving past his brother dragging me with him. I see Ryker reach for me before pulling his hand back, a strange look crossing his features.
Tyson leads me downstairs to the infirmary and opens the door. I see the woman from earlier the Lycan Queen and feel my wolf lurch forward wanting to take control but I force her down. My skin rippled in a wave as I struggled to contain her.
"We can't hurt her 46"
"We have no choice," she says, and I shake my head.
"We do, we hurt them," I tell her, and she looks out seeing Ace deathly pale on the bed.
I feel my wolf become nervous in the room. Not liking all the different instruments in the room. It reminded her of home.
"I'm Aria," The woman says, holding her hand out to me. I stare at it wondering what she wanted and she drops it scratching the back of her neck awkwardly.
"Reika," I tell her, trying out my own name.
"I know who you are, thank you for saving my boys," she says softly. The door suddenly opens again and a man with a startling resemblance to Ryker steps in. They had the same silver eyes, the same face shape. I step away from the man entering.
"That's my dad Reid," Tyson tells me and I nod before walking over and looking at Ace. I see the woman move grabbing Tyson and they walk outside the door, closing it with the man following after them. I could see their figures through the frosted glass as they talked.
"If we shift we might be able to heal him," my wolf tells me.
"How?" I ask her, confused.
"Our blood doesn't heal him but our saliva will," she tells me. She was right his wounds were closing when we licked them.
"I wonder why?" I ask her and she shrugs.
"I noticed after they would do their experiments, my wounds would heal if they gave me blood, when Amanda was alive the blood wouldn't even heal her so I licked her and she healed fast," she tells me.
"And you think it will work for Ace," She nods.
"Does it work for us?" My wolf growls, "No, only hybrid blood heals us, I think they used to deliberately hurt Amanda to see if I could heal her," My wolf tells me. The thought of my friend being hurt deliberately just so we could heal her saddened me. She was my only friend and I loved her, so did Alpha, he never would have let them hurt us the way they did if he were there. He loved us and said we would always be his children but when he left they became cruel. Well worse than they normally are.
I pull the shirt off over my head before climbing on the bed near his feet and slipping the shorts off before shifting.
Ryker
Walking downstairs I hear arguing. My parents' voice reaches my ears and Tyson's defiant tone grinds my gears.
"What is going on?" I ask rounding the corner into the hall. They were out front of the infirmary and I couldn't see my mate.
"I want them to come back with me," My mother says.
"She doesn't trust you with us," Tyson says not happy.
"You're going," I tell him and he spins around to glare at me.
"I'm not leaving her with you, if I go she is coming with me. You don't deserve her" he tells me not hiding his disgust.
"She is my mate, and clearly you can't listen to me. This never would have happened if you stayed inside like I said," I tell him.
"You're coming back to Arial's," my father tells him.
"No I am fucking not, this is my home I am staying here. It isn't going to happen again," he says before turning to me.
"Please Ryker, we will stop. Will do what you want but I am not leaving. I hate Arial's place and Chase is a dick and I am not going to live in bumfuckville '' he says defiantly. I pinch the bridge of my nose annoyed haven't we had enough drama for the day without this shit.
"Deal with it later, where is Reika?" I ask them and they all look to the infirmary door. Tyson opens it before stopping, blocking the door. I look over the top of him and don't see her but her wolf leaning over Ace.
My mother screeches, rushing in and nearly knocking us over in a panic, my mother stops suddenly her heart rate calming down. Reika looks up at us before pressing her face along his ribs when I realize she is licking him. My mother stops also observing before looking over her shoulder at us. We step in and my stomach drops and I realize how wrong I got it. Her wolf wasn't attacking him, she was healing him. I watch in awe as his wounds close completely, not even scarring, just sealed up like they never existed. Not even wolves could heal that quickly.
Ace suddenly moves making us jump including Reika who jumps off the bed shifting back.
I wanted to go to her and beg her to forgive me and also cover her. She was standing naked in front of three men and the thought ticked me off.
My parents were standing over the bed when Ace suddenly sits upright nearly headbutting my father.
"Tyson!" He says, panicked.
"Right here bro," he says pressing his head against Ace. Ace sighs in relief.
"Reika?"
"Here," she says, still naked my father looks over at her and so does Tyson. I growl and Tyson rolls his eyes. Walking over to Reika I bend down picking up my shirt. She takes a step back watching me. I hold the shirt up to her and she takes it.
"Please keep clothes on, my brothers don't need your picture for their spank banks," I tell her. She looks confused but pulls the shirt on.
"Got any chips, I'm starving," Ace says making my father chuckle and rub his bald head.
"Oh forgot to ask. Why are my sons bald?" My mother asks. I raise an eyebrow at her deciding they can answer that.
