chapter 237
Reika POV
Waking I stretched, rolling over to find Ryker’s side of the bed empty, his spot cold like he hadn’t been in bed for awhile. I could feel his anger through the bond making me wonder what upset him.
Climbing out of bed, I tossed the blankets off and was about to walk out the door when I remembered I had no pants on. Ryker is constantly drumming in my head about clothes, though I didn’t see the point in them but just to keep him happy, I walk into the walk-in and grab some pants. The tight fabric I was slowly getting used to but the buttons on them were a real bitch.
“Don’t zip yourself again” Amanda says as I try to zip the stupid thing up. I didn’t have a good experience with zips, I zipped a piece of me that doesn’t belong in a zipper, yet the underwear rode up my butt making pants even more uncomfortable so I wasn’t putting those on.
I manage to get the zip up and the first button done, but the second and third just wouldn’t do up. I grab one of my shirts, not bothering with a bra. That thing was too complicated for my brain and without Ryker I stood no chance of getting it on comfortably, like who the hell came up with the idea of a bra? Riddiculous bloody thing making my breasts all sweaty and my nipples itching stupid invention, do they woman not realise their tits are attached to them, they aren’t going to just fall off them.
Walking out, I see Tate carrying a passed out Tyson up the stairs.
“Is he alright?” I ask rushing over, both of them saturated in blood and both butt naked. Tate looks at me, before rushing into Tyson and Ace’s room, placing Tyson in the bed. He then grabs one of their shirts covering himself, though I don’t know why I have seen his dick before, not as impressive as Ryker’s but not something to be ashamed about.
“What happened?” I ask, looking at Tyson.
“Nothing Luna, go back to whatever you were doing”
“I was looking for Ryker, have you seen him, why are you both covered in blood?”.
He ignores my question about the blood. “Ryker is busy, he will see you soon” he says, making me eye him suspiciously.
“Reika, your pants are undone and your shirt is on back to front” Ace says, making me look down.
“No it’s not and I can’t do the buttons” I say looking at my black shirt.
“Yes it is, the picture should be at the front” Ace says standing up and walking over to me. I didn’t even see a picture on it.
“Pull your arms in” Ace says and I do and he spins the shirt around and I push my arms through the holes again.
“See?” Ace says pointing to the picture on the front with writing.
“What’s it say?” I ask him.
“Just a brand logo” he says, reaching for my pants. I step back.
“What are you doing?” I ask when I see his hands reach toward my crutch.
“Doing the buttons up stand still” he says before quickly doing them up and dressing me. I look down and huff that he got them through the holes so easily. Looking up I see Tate is gone.
“Where did he go?”
“Probably back to the basement” Ace answers, slapping his brother’s face.
“Oi dick lips, you alright?” He asks, slapping his face.
“The basement?” I ask, isn’t that where he tortured me? Ace tenses before spinning around and looking at me.
“No meant the bases, yeah the training bases” he says quickly.
‘he’s lying’ Amanda says to me.
“You’re lying” I accuse and he seems shocked at my words.
“You can’t go down there Reika, you’re going to stay up here. Maybe go back to your room” Ace says.
I walk out, when Ace grabs my arm as I head down the stairs.
“Reika, go to your bedroom now!” Ace bellows at me. I feel his Alpha Aura rush out of him, and become shocked. It barely does anything but annoy me, I become confused at the reason of why he was being so horrid to me all of a sudden.
“Reika your room now” He says and I raise an eyebrow at him.
Yet I find his aura just irritating not like Ryker’s which is painful when used on me.
“No!” I tell him.
“Fuck! Mine doesn’t work on you anymore, shit!”
“Huh?”
“Ryker has marked and mated you, technically your aura is now stronger than mine but weaker than his, shit!. You are to stay with me” he says, grabbing my arm and trying to pull me back to his room. I shake him off.
“What is going on?” I ask him,. Starting to worry, Ace was never like this.
“It doesn’t matter, Ryker will kill me if you go down there, just come play video games with me”
“No, I want to see Ryker” I tell him, before turning and heading down the stairs.
“Reika!” Ace yells to me but ignore him going to find my mate. I hear him curse before slamming his door, while I follow Tate’s scent to the basement door, blood drops were on the floor and smeared on the door. I open the door and gag at the stench of burnt flesh and blood. Gagging before holding my breath and walking down the steps.
What I wasn’t prepared for, was seeing my mate standing naked and covered in blood. The ground is thick with congealed blood and I see Tim hanging from a chain. The image gives me flashbacks of when I was once strung up there. I shake the feeling off.
Ryker holding a blowtorch burning Tim’s gentitals making me gasp. Drake, Tate and Ryker spin around at the sound and a loud growl rips out of Ryker.
“Get her outta here now” Ryker yells at Drake and Tate. Tim lifts his head and I see one side of his face was burnt, his eye literally burnt out of his head.
A lopsided smile graces his face and he looks at me. “46 what a pleasant surprise, I suppose you’re here to find out where” he doesn’t finish Ryker punching him and knocking him out, his jaw breaking and hanging loosely .
“I said get her the fuck out” Ryker says using his Alpha voice.
Drake rushes toward me grabbing my arm, Tate behind him.
“Come on Luna, not a place for you” Tate says grabbing my other arm. I shove them off and Ryker growls at me. The onyx eyes of his wolf glaring at me. Drake grabs my arm and I shove him and he goes flying into the wall.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Sorry, I didn’t mean it” I rush to him feeling terrible. I didn’t mean to shove him so hard. Just before I reach him I am grabbed from behind, an arm wrapping around my waist and jerking me back, tingles rushing up my arms and Ryker growls menacingly before dragging me toward the stairs.
“What’s going on?” I ask, trying to get out his grip when he tosses me over his shoulder.
“Nothing that concerns you, why would you come down here” he says marching up the stairs.
“Put me down Ryker, tell me what happened” I ask him, kicking my legs trying to reach the ground. He starts walking up the stairs, ignoring me asking him to put me down.
He walks into the bedroom before tossing me on the bed. His deadly gaze on me. I crawl to my hands and knees about to get up.
“You do not go into the basement for any reason, understand?”
“What, why?” I ask, getting off the bed. Ryker grabs me and tosses me back on it and I growl at him, though I could tell Brax was also forward with him. His anger radiating off him in waves.
“It doesn’t matter, you stay here till I get back” he says, turning for the door.
I get off the bed chasing after him wanting to know what’s wrong with him. I grab his arm.
“Ryker?” I say when he spins around so quickly, I actually step away from him.
“Reika get on the fucking bed and shut up” he yells and his Alpha Aura erupts out him, knocking the air from my lungs, my chest tightening and whimper leaves my lips before my legs move under his command and I am back on the bed.
“I will come see you soon” he says before walking out and locking the door. I tried to call out to him yet no words left my lips, even Amanda muted under his command, leaving me stuck on the bed and unable to speak. I didn’t understand what I did, I was only looking for him.
I just wanted my mate and he shunned me, locking me in the room. I move to the edge of the bed, yet can’t physically put my foot off it, pain radiating through every nerve when I try, sweat beading on my skin as I fight the crushing urge to submit to his demands. Why would he do this to me, what did I do? I wondered before feeling tears brim, I crawled back to the centre of the bed before curling in a ball under the covers. I even put stupid clothes on so he wouldn’t get upset and he locks me in our room.
