"So, you and my brother are getting along?" Lana asks, turning her attention to me.
"Yep," I tell her not liking the topic going to me.
"Don't worry it gets easier," Arial says.
"Alphas!," They say at the exact same time before giggling.
"What do you mean?" I ask them. I didn't think anything was wrong now, so I didn't understand.
"Just that all Alphas are right dicks at the start. My mate Chase, was a knob, even let me believe I had fertility problems when it was him all along. Thank god, Avery had some herbs that worked to reverse the damage. Oh, and my mate saved himself for his mate, so that also caused major dramas with us, seeing as I didn't share the same views," Arial tells me.
"Yeah Arial didn't exactly have the same beliefs, her mate met her while she was making out with another wolf," Lana snickers.
"You can say it, I was a whore," Arial says before laughing.
"Though now I can say you win there, you have done one thing I haven't done before."
"Oh shut up, don't mock it till you try it."
"Nope, nothing going in my ass."
"In her ass, did Ryker lie to me? Is it meant to go in the bum?" I ask them and they both start laughing.
"No, Lana just likes it in there," Arial snorts and Lana smacks her arm.
"You like doing that?" I ask her, a little grossed out.
"I have two mates, it was eventually going in there anyway, but it isn't so bad," she says. I listen to them talk for hours, always laughing. I didn't know if it was the funny drinks but I found myself actually laughing along with them. We talked about lots of stuff I found interesting, mostly they talked about their mates, but they also talked to me about mating and I had a funny feeling that was one of the reasons they were here.
A few hours passed and Lana ended up passing out at the table. Ryker came in, shaking his head before scooping his sister up and taking her to bed.
"Oh and you can deal with the boy's hangovers in the morning," Ryker tells Arial.
"Not my fault they can't hold their liquor, the little worms," Arial huffs.
"We should go to bed," Arial says, swaying on her feet. I get up with her and my body suddenly feels extremely heavy as I stumble into the table.
"We should have been moving around instead of sitting," Arial laughs at me. I laugh as she stumbles dragging me out of the kitchen with her. Ryker coming back down the stairs.
"Please tell me you are going to bed now?"
"Yes bro, we are going to bed," Arial says climbing the stairs, or more like hugging the banister.
Ryker shakes his head before grabbing my arm helping me walk up the steps. I was busting to pee. As soon as we get to the bedroom, I race for the toilet and drop onto the seat. "Argh," I moaned, my bladder had been screaming at me for hours and that was the best sensation I had ever felt, relieving my overfull bladder.
"You right? Don't fall asleep in there."
I get up before stumbling into the sink, my face feeling very hot.
'What happened to our other eye and why are we so red in the face?' My wolf asks, peering out. I laugh at my reflection, our eyes blurring to one big one. Ryker walks in leaning on the door.
"You have fun?" he asks and I nod before walking out and flopping on the bed face down. I yawn, feeling tired.
"Did you tell them to talk to me about mating, Arial wouldn't shut up about it."
"I may have said something to them," He admits.
"I thought so," I tell him yawning, Ryker grabs my arms hauling me to the center of the bed, the movement making me queasy before I find myself on his chest, I snuggle against him not even caring if I am heavy, I wasn't moving.
"Did they find Tim?" I ask him.
"No, but they caught a few humans, they will question them tomorrow," he says, and I nod before floating away into oblivion.
Waking up my head was pounding, like someone stepped on it.
"Wakey wakey!," Ryker says his voice drilling into my skull.
"Not so loud," I tell him. Why does my head hurt? I hear him laugh.
"Consequences of drinking," he says.
Ryker pulls on my arms trying to get me up.
"No, let me sleep," I tell him, wanting to hide under the blanket till this headache leaves.
"Feed on me and it will go away," he says, tugging on my arms again.
"Come on, up. You haven't fed in awhile, so get up," he says, and I groan though the mention of blood had my gums tingling. I sit up feeling the sharp points digging into my bottom lip. I rub my eyes and he sits on the bed tapping his lap. I sluggishly move before standing only to be yanked onto his lap facing him.
He kisses me and I pull away from him, my mouth feeling ridiculously dry and I could still taste orange juice on my tongue.
I rest my head on his shoulder, a little reluctant to feed on him. It had been days and my hunger was a little insatiable now that he mentioned it.
"Reika you need blood, just do it already," he says, his tone sounding a little angry. When I don't move he drags his nail across his neck where his mark is and I shiver at the sound of his skin tearing.
"Reika!" He says and before running his thumb down his neck before pressing it to my lips, his thumb forcing its way into my mouth. He brushes his thumb over my tongue, his blood touching my tongue so addictively sweet making mouth water and a growl escape my lips. I sink my fangs into him and he jumps before rubbing my back.
"Good girl," he says, and I feel my bloodlust take over, hunger like never before, making me wonder when the last time I fed actually was. Amanda came forward worriedly.
