One week Later
It has been over a week since we saw her, I mindlinked Rayan yesterday who kept giving me
vague answers as to what she is doing. His reply was she is around, which I didn’t particrly like. I
tried mindlinking Reika but each time she shoved me out and Ryker was near impossible to get a hold
of even via the mindlink. We kept getting interrupted before I could even ask how she was, leaving my
only link to her as Rayan.
Lucy always had some excuse not toe visit us, or for some reason she couldn’t talk long,
making me wonder if Reika told her we were her mates. Was this her way of rejecting us?
“Hurry up, he finishes school soon and I already told Jacob we were picking him up today” Ace
calls to me as I finish getting dressed.
I slip my jacket on before grabbing my car keys and walking down the long hallway toward the
front of the packhouse. Ace was waiting in the living room. He has be extremely impatient waiting
for Lucy toe around. Everyday he sits at home hoping she shows up and Atticus has been
hounding him to mark her before she can reject us. Tyrant was the same, wanting to mark her but
Atticus was even more demanding of Ace because of his rtionship with Mna. Atticus knew Ace
stuffed up when it came to her because Lucy wouldn’t be too happy when she learns he is her mate
and had been fooling around with her.
I don’t understand how Ace was even able to go against his wolf. Tyrant wouldn’t even let me
entertain the idea of anyone but Lucy, so I was surprised Ace has been able to maintain any form of
rtionship he had with Mna. Tyrant made that impossible for me but I wasn’t interested in anyone
else anyway. I feared Atticus would force Ace to mark her against her will if he couldn’t see her
soon.So today we were picking up Rayan and dropping him to his father at work since Reika had
appointments.Giving us time to figure out what was going on with Lucy and I could ask Ryker what
Reika told her.
“I’m driving, you drive too slow” Ace says, holding his hand out for my keys. I roll my eyes at him
before chucking my keys at him which he catches before grabbing his Jacket.
I lock the door before climbing in the passenger seat. Ace tearing out of the driveway before I
could even shut my door. “Slow down dick, you wreck my car your buying me another“ I tell him as he
sprays rocks everywhere along the gravel driveway.
We headed through the city before taking the highway out of town heading for the pack school,
which was just outside the city. The drive took 30 minutes from the packhouse to the school before we
pulled into the carpark next to the park. I get out sitting on the hood of the car and lighting a smoke.
Checking my phone I still had five minutes before the school bell rang. Rayan had no idea we were
picking him up, so I would like to see him try to avoid us, I know Rayan and Lucy are close so if he
didn’t know what was going on I knew myst resort would be having to hunt down Mitchell which I
didn’t particrly feel like doing.
When the bell goes kidse rushing out and running in different directions. I wait to spot him and
he was the secondst kid out as he dawdled. I watch as he looks around for Jacob, his bag slung over
one shoulder before I whistle, his head snapping in my direction, the look on his face was almost
“Where is Jacob?” Rayan calls out as he crosses the road before stomping through the garden
beds that surround the park. He crushes the neat gardens stomping on the flowers. Ace climbs out of
the car.
“What no hello?” Ace asks him.
“Why are you here? If it is about Lucy ask her yourself” Rayan says and Ace growls before taking
his bag from him and opening the back door. Ace chucks his bag in the back of the car before grabbing
his shirt above his shoulder steering him to the back seat.
“Where are you taking me?” Rayan demands and Ace raises an eyebrow at his ittle Alpha voice
“To your father at work, now get in before I spank your ass for being a disrespectful little shit” Ace
tells him. Rayan huffs before sliding into the backseat and folding his arms across his chest. I climb in
the passenger seat and Ace climbs in the driver''s seat before reversing out of the car park. Once the
car is moving I turn in my seat so I can face Rayan.
“How is Lucy?”
“She is your mate, how about you tell me?” Rayan says.
“You know?” Ace asks him, looking in the rearview mirror at him as he turns at the cross section.
“Yeah, I heard mum and dad talking about it” He says, putting his arm on the window and resting
his head on his hand.
“Does Lucy know?” I ask him and he shakes his head.
“No, mum told me not to tell her” Rayan says exhaling loudly.
“Well that''s good I guess for now” Ace mutters under his breath.
“You hurt my sister I will” Rayan begins and I smile when Ace cuts him off.
“You’ll what pipsqueak?” Ace asks and Rayan growls at him.
“I will kick your ass I will Ace, I won''t be a kid for long then you will be answering to me” Rayan
snaps at him. He was definitely his father’s son. Ace smirks but says nothing else, he had a point.
Rayan was next in line to be Alpha King.
“So how is she?” I ask him and Rayan shrugs.
“You live with her, you have to tell us something” I tell him. Rayan holds his hand out rubbing his
fingers together and I roll my eyes.
“Information costs” Rayan says with a devious smile on his face, his silver and gold eyes sparkling
back at us.
I reach over into Ace’s pocket. “Why do I gotta pay him, you pay” Ace snaps at me.
“I don’t carry cash” I tell him, snatching his wallet out of his pocket, Ace having to shift so I could
pull it out.
I grab a 50 dor bill out and Rayan raises an eyebrow at me before I grab all the cash out of his
wallet. Rayan leans forward, plucking the cash from my fingertips.
“You better have good information kid, what do you need $300 for?” Ace demands.
“I don''t, I just wanted to see if you would give it to me, thanks for that will add it to my stash” Rayan
says making me chuckle while Ace growls at him.
“So spill” I tell him and he rubs his chin.
“What should I disclose?” He says ying with us.
“Her favourite colour is purple, oh and she has a birthmark on her hip that reminds me of starfish.
She also had this vibrating thing in her knicker drawer. Oh and she had a drawing of your wolves in her
sketchbook” Rayan says. I shake my head at him.
“No real information, like what she is doing?” I ask him.
“Why would you go through your sister''s undies you little creeper” Ace says before shivering in
disgust.
“I had to grab some stuff for her, nothing wrong with grabbing clothes for her, bloody thing sounded
like a rocket ship about to take off. I tried to google what it was but kept taking me to these half naked
he is older and realises what it is.
“Why did you have to take her clothes?” Ace asks him as we pull into the underground carpark.
“Um..” He seems to think for a second and I could see worry cross his features like he thought he
said something he shouldn’t have.
“Oh we are here, I guess I will catch you twoter, thanks for the lift”He says gripping the door
handle about to do a runner when Ace locks the door.
“Speak Rayan you are ticking me off” Ace tells him and I smack his chest. I see Rykering out
of the elevator toward the car.
“Fine, I will ask your father then” I tell him and Ace unlocks the door and I go to hop out.
“Wait!” Rayan calls out and I stop closing the door and looking over at him.
“Mum and Dad think she is at your house, please don’t get her in any more trouble” Rayan says
looking out at his father walking across the carpark toward us.
“What do you mean, she has been staying at home?” Ace says but Rayan shakes his head.
“Mum won’t let here home,” Rayan says before sighing.
“Lucy didn’t want to stay with you because Mna is always with Ace, so she has been sleeping at
the river behind the packhouse. I got clothes for her the other day and she met me at school” Rayan
says before looking out the window.
“You can’t tell dad” He rushes out in panic.
“Please!” Rayan says and I look at Ace.
“We won’t say anything, how long has she been out there for?” He doesn’t get a chance to answer
Ryker, opening up the back door.
“Hey kiddo” Ryker says, reaching over him and grabbing his bag off the seat beside him.
Rayan looked at us in panic but Ace had a tight grip on the steering wheel looking out the window.
“Everything ok?” Ryker asks as Rayan climbs out of the car.
“Yeah something hase up, I wille see you tomorrow” I tell Ryker.
“Ace?” Ryker asks, looking at his tense body, his knuckles white as he clutches the steering wheel.
“Everything is fine, just need to deal with something” Ace grits out and Ryker seems taken aback
but says nothing, instead closing the door.
Ace reverses out of the parking spot. Fur was sprouting on his arms as he fought to control his
emotions and those of Atticus’s.
“Calm down Ace, we will go get her” I tell him worried he was going to shift.
“She wouldn’te home because of me, Tyson don''t tell me to calm down” Ace snaps.
