"Are you hungry?" He asks and I nod.
"Come, I will make you some scrambled eggs before I go, or do you want to come?"
"No, I think I will stay here. I don't want people staring because I'm not like them," I tell him. He stops looking back at me.
"Reika you are exactly the same as them, they would never treat you any differently then they treat me"
"Yeah, but you're their Alpha. I am just the weird one with weird eyes, that can't walk in shoes" he chuckles.
"You're not weird, different but that's not a bad thing. You may be surprised. You're their Luna they will love you, but you can wait here if you want, till you are ready to meet them"
"Luna, Jacob said that the other day"
"Because that's what you are, you don't have to understand it right now, but you will" I nod and he grabs my hand walking downstairs and into the kitchen.
He made scrambled eggs for me but I could feel he was nervous about something.
"What's wrong?" I ask him.
"Just worried about leaving you here by yourself, just don't touch the stove or the fireplace and don't put metal in the microwave"
"I will be fine and I don't know how to use the microwave so why would I touch it. I will probably go back to bed"
"Okay and mind link me if anything goes wrong, do you know how to use the phone?" My brows furrow.
"Never mind, that was a silly question. You'll be fine"
"I'm fine, Ryker. I have my wolf," I tell him not understanding why he was suddenly so nervous about leaving me here. He nods and goes to walk out before stopping.
"I can cancel it till after Tyson and Ace get back," he says.
"Huh, so you're not going?"
"I don't know," he suddenly looks conflicted.
"Just go, Tyson and Ace will be back soon and I am just going back to bed, I won't break the house," I tell him.
"I'm not worried about the house, I'm worried about you getting hurt in the house, because you broke the house"
"That makes no sense," I tell him.
"Just don't touch the fireplace and the stove, they are hot," he says.
"You know I can feel hot and cold right?"
He folds his arms across his chest looking at me. "I know Reika, just mindlink me every half an hour, no I will mindlink you, yes that's what I can do" I wasn't sure if he was telling me or himself.
"So you're going now?" He nods looking at the stove.
"I won't touch the stove or fireplace," I tell him.
He nods before walking off and I hear the front door shut softly before hearing his car leave. I eat my eggs before putting the bowl in the sink and going back to his room and climbing in his bed.
I cuddle his pillow, loving his scent all over it and eventually doze off.
Ryker
The entire pack meeting I could barely function. Zane had to take over as I couldn't think straight, paranoid of her burning the house down and being trapped inside. Or something falling on her or her hurting herself in some way. It was irrational yet no matter how much I tried to mind link her, I got no answer.
"She is probably asleep, just ask Jacob to check on her, or mindlink Tyson he should be home by now, your father is here so he obviously dropped them off on the way here" Brax tells me.
I mindlink Tyson.
"You home?"
"Ah yeah, about to head over to you, just getting changed," he says.
"What about Reika, is she with you?" I ask, panicking a little.
"She is asleep in your room, hugging your stinking pillow" he answers and I can't help the smile that spreads across my face.
"Just stay there, I will only be a couple more hours, watch Reika for me"
"You are aware it should be the other way around right? Technically she is an adult" he retorts.
"Just do as I ask, please"
"But I wanted to go get some games for my Xbox"
"Can't it wait?" I ask him, becoming annoyed.
"Fine, wait is Jacob with you, he plays the same shit and knows what I have, send him for me"
"Send himself yourself, you wanted to be Beta, so you tell him"
"Kind of need your credit card, being a teen and all, no job and my allowance sucks"
" Fine, I will send Jacob. You better start doing chores and shit, your going to send me broke"
"Ha! Ace can do chores, I love you big bro"
"No, you love my bloody credit cards, love you too, you little shit. Now go check my mate," I tell him cutting the mindlink before he continues ranting and asking for shit.
Looking at the bottom of the stage. I see Jacob.
"Can you do me a favor?" I mind link him. He looks back at me before walking over.
"What's up Alpha?"
"Can you go to that stupid game shop Tyson lives at and get some games, he said you play the same ones, and then take them to him and check on Reika for me"
"Yes, I will do anything to get out of listening to Zane drone on about borders, and training" I chuckle and see Zane shoot him a look before turning back and addressing everyone.
I reach into my pocket and give him my card and pin number.
"Just make sure she is alive, and tell Tyson to make her some lunch. I don't want her burning the place down" Jacob laughs before nodding and walking off. I feel a bit better knowing he will check on her and the boys.
