《My Two Alphas》


 Chapter 1

    Chapter 1


    Tyson POV


    These bloody meetings were boring, but Ryker insisted we sit through the Alpha meet every year.


    We still had a year before we took over ck Moon Pack so I thought it rather pointless when we didn''t


    actually get a say in anything yet.


    They weren''t so bad though, my entire family was here seeing as we alle from Alpha


    bloodlines. My aunty Lily was here with her husband Damian from the Crescent Pack, my older sister


    Lana and her two mates Tate and Drake from the forest Pack were here and of course my other sister


    Arial and Chase from Red River Pack were also present with my mother. Along with ck Creek Pack


    Alpha Jamie and his Luna and two other packs, who I couldn''t for the life of me remember who the hell


    they are or from where. Kind of pointless when the majority of the packs were run by family, not like the


    other three packs could argue, noone wants to piss off Hybrid wolf packs and they sure as hell didn''t


    want to piss off my brother Ryker the Alpha king. A title handed down from my mother, The former


    Alpha Queen.


    Ace nudges me with his foot under the table trying to get my attention. Looking over at him he


    nods toward the Luna of ck Creek Pack.


    "Check out the tits on her" he mind-links and I roll my eyes at him.


    "Close your mouth, you just drooled on the table" I shoot back at him and he smirks.


    "What I would do to those puppies" He says, wiggling his eyebrows at me.


    "Fucking nasty, she is old enough to be your mother" I tell him.


    "Got a nice rack though" he says and I sigh.


    "Think they''re fake?" He asks.


    "I don''t know, why don''t you ask her mate" I tell him, turning my attention back to Ryker who was


    looking at maps on the round wooden conference table.


    "Not possible," he says, looking at the ck Creek Alpha, he was in his fifties and thought his shit


    didn¡¯t stink, couldn¡¯t stand the old fart.


    "Why, what could they possibly need all thatnd for, they aren''t even running the pack?" Alpha


    Jamie says before ring at me. Shit, what did I miss?


    Ryker looks at me and Ace before nodding to us. I get up walking over to him.


    ck Moon Pack, the pack being handed to my brother and I next year, ran alongside ck Creek


    Pack, only a river stood between the two packs dividing it.


    He points to the map, pointing at the open fields running along the river on our side.


    "What about it?" I ask, kicking myself about not paying attention.


    "I''ll buy it off you"


    "Not interested" I tell him, that was arge nk space we nned on turning into training


    grounds.


    "What could you possibly want with it?" Alpha Jamie asks.


    "None of you bloody business, what do you want with it? You want morend go pester him for it,


    I''m not giving you even an inch of fucking space" I tell him not liking the pricks tone. Who the fuck does


    he think he is?


    "He has enough, he is just being greedy" Damien says, sitting back in his chair and folding his


    arms across his chest. Alpha Jamie was not liked by many, he was arrogant and stuck in the stone


    ages with the way he ran his pack.


    Alpha Jamie growls at Damian but soon quietens down with one look from my brother.


    "Enough, he said no and that''s it, it is theirnd, their pack. Moving on" Ryker tells him.


    "They are fucking 17 for fuck sake and know nothing about running a pack. What could they


    possibly need it for, this is bullshit and no longer fair to the rest of the packs surrounding the area when


    your family runs over half the packs around here" he says.


    His Luna grabs his arm trying to calm him and if looks could kill she would be dead ten times over.


    She was a timid woman, she had red hair tied in a bun and a stern face, yet the fear of her husband


    was evident in her eyes as she cowers from his re. I Felt sorry for her having a husband like him, it


    was clear she feared him. He tugs his arm away from her and stands up, cing his hands on the


    desk. His dirty blonde hair falling forward over his eyes before he sweeps it away with his hand.


    "Fine, you want it so bad. I''ll challenge you for it" Ace tells him, also getting up from his seat. I fold


    my arms across my chest sitting back with a silly smirk on my face. Old man better sit down, Ace would


    eat him alive. The difference in size alone made Alpha Jamie look like a boypared to my brother''s


    "Well don''t you think you''re something," Alpha spits back at him.


    "You want it old man, take it" Ace says.


    Ryker sits down a stupid grin on his face, "offers there Jamie, you want thend challenge him for


    it" Ryker tells him.


    "Sit down love" his Luna tells him touching his arm, she looked petrified and he would be an idiot


    to challenge Ace, not only would he lose but we would take his Pack. Realising that he sits back down.


    Ace also goes to sit down but the dickhead just couldn''t help but run his mouth.


    "Fucking hybrid mutts" he mutters under his breath. Ace growls about to attack him when Reika


    suddenly stands, reaching over the table and grabbing his head, mming it onto the table. I heard the


    crunch of his nose before blood stter across it. My mother Snickers in the corner of the room, mum


    had a different way of dealing with Alpha''s when she was Queen, she could usually talk them down


    with reason. Reika, now the new Queen didn''t share those views, personally I think my brother has


    rubbed off on her, she was more the brute force sort of Queen.


    Alpha Jamie springs to his feet a growl escaping his lips, his Luna shrieks as blood falls on her.


    "You fucking"-


    "I dare you to finish that sentence, Jamie. See where it gets you" Ryker warns him before pulling


    Reika onto hisp before she lets Amanda have him. Jamie however doesn¡¯t back down, refusing to sit


    back down and Reika leans forward and I could see Ryker¡¯s grip on her tighten as she gripped the


    table.


    "Sit down bitch or I will make you" Reika tells him, her ws slipping from her fingers and going


    through the desk.


    "Alpha Jamie sits down" his nose t against his face and he breaks it back into ce.Reika


    looked a little upset like she wanted him to remain standing just so she could tear him apart, Ryker


    whispers something to her and she leans back and he kisses her shoulder.


    "So can we wrap this shit show up or do you other fools want to start some unnecessary shit" I


    ask.


    They shake their heads and I hop up d to be out of this meeting. My motheres over from


    her ce in the corner following Ace and I out of the room.


    "You boys excited for your 17th birthday tomorrow, can finally find your mates, I thought you would


    havest year but betterte than never," she says.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    "More excited about spending time with family, it''s been awhile since everyone has been in one


    ce" Ace says, wrapping his arm across her shoulders.


    "Feels like yesterday that you were babies, now look at you all grown up and towering over me just


    like your brother" she says just as Lucyes bounding down the stairs. She had grown so much, her


    green and amber eyes lighting up when she sees us, she was 12 now.


    "Grandma" she squeals, rushing over and hugging her.


    "Hey princess, where were you headed"


    "Looking for dad, I want to go to the creek with Melena and Josey" she says.


    "Dad''s busy sweetie, you will have to tell them no today, maybe tomorrow after the birthday


    celebrations" mum tells her and she nods before heading back upstairs.


    "I''ll take you, go put on your swimmers" I tell her and she rushes upstairs. My mother gives me a


    look.


    "What?"


    "Reika wants her home, you two always give into her"


    "We will have her back before dark" I tell my mother and she sighs.


    "Fine but if Reika rips your head off, I ain''t helping you" she says, wandering off.


    "Huh yeah right Reika will just be d she isn''t up to mischief" Ace says heading upstairs to grab


    our swimmers, Ryker usually went with her swimming because the girl was bottom heavy. No matter


    how many times we tried teaching her to swim she would just sink to the bottom like a stone.


    I followed him up to our room, pushing the door open and grabbing a bag to stuff some clothes in.


    Lucy didn''t have a wolf, her biological father made sure of that when he forced her to shift when she


    was 8, killing her wolf and awakening her vampire side when she too died from the shift beforeing


    back a hybrid without a wolf.


    "Here chuck these in" Ace says, tossing me his board shorts. I chuck them in the bag. Just in time


    for Lucy to bound in with her towel and swimmers.


    "Who are you going with Ace or me?" I ask her. "Ace, your wolf is too fast" she says and I nod.


    "Hold this, I need to pee first" I tell her and she grabs the backpack and I wander down the hall to


    pee. Flicking the toilet seat up and unzipping. Argh I think as I let loose, only I didn''t hear it hitting the


    water, opening my eyes piss was going everywhere. Like a fountain as I try to stop midway. That


    bloody brat, she cling wrapped it again.


    "Lucy!" I scream before hearing her giggle on the other side of the door. I grab a towel mopping up


    the mess I just made before washing my hands.


    Opening the door, she shrieks before rushing off.


    "Get back here you little brat" I yell chasing after her. She rushes down the stairs and Ace grabs


    her before darting off with herughing.


    "Were you in on it?" I ask him through the link while I try to find them.


    "No, but it was pretty funny. We are out back" he says and I follow her scent toward the back patio.


    Stepping out, Lucy was giggling, hiding behind Ace and using him as a shield.


    I growl at her and she growls back baring her teeth at me.


    "Eyes closed Luce, Gotta shift" Ace tells her and she turns around covering her eyes with her


    hands while he strips off before dumping his clothes in the bag.


    He shifts quickly into his ck wolf which seems to be a family trait amongst the men in the family,


    all our wolves ck. It would be interesting to see if Rayan is ck when he is older or will he be snow


    white like his mother.


    I grab the bag. "You can open your eyes now" I tell her and she turns around Ace''s wolf Atticus


    nudges her with his nose telling her to climb on and she does pulling on his fur to climb on his back.


    "Hang on tight, I will catch up" I tell her and she nods, gripping his fur. I watch as they dart off into


    the trees. I strip off before feeling a hand p my ass making me jump.


    "Need some sun on that bum, bro" Damian saysing out the back door and leaning on the


    railing and watching his daughter Amelia who was on the swings talking to a pack wolf, she was 15


    now. I shift, suddenly Damian growls, making me snap my head to Amelia who was walking off toward


    the forest with the boy she was talking to.


    "Over my dead fucking body is she going off with that twerp" Damian snaps before storming down


    the steps after his daughter. I chuckle before running off across the yard heading for the trees.

    Ace POV


    The next day


    I was so fucking hungover, my head pounding as I roll on my side. Today was our 17th birthday,


    and Arial decided to get us shitfaced a day early. Man was I paying for it this morning.


    I groan, forcing myself up before running my hands over my face. Tyson also got up in the bed


    across from me.


    "My mouth tastes like a fucking ashtray" he grumbles.


    I got up heading for the bathroom, making sure Lucy didn''t cling wrap the toilet bowlstnight. No


    cling wrap and I quickly pee before heading back to the room.


    "Want one?" Tyson asks, cracking the window open and sitting on the windowsill. I take the packet


    lighting one before climbing out the window and sitting on the roof leaning against the wall under the


    window.


    "Fuck my head is pounding" I tell him.


    "I don''t feel too bad, surprisingly," he says.


    I could smell the BBQ going and looked at Tyson.


    "What time is it?" I ask him and he pops his head in the window grabbing his phone from beside


    his bed.


    "1 o''clock"


    "Fuck I was supposed to meet up with Mna this morning"


    "What if she isn''t your mate" he asks and I shrug,


    "It doesn''t matter, she will do till I find her" I tell him.


    "You still see that blonde bitch, Tara" I ask him.


    "Nah, to much of a cling on, fucking asked me to mark her as my chosen mate. Like I would give


    up a fated for a chosen" he says shaking his head.


    I finish my smoke before flicking it only to hear someone cuss. Lana walks out into the driveway.


    "Fucking ass, you just flicked that on my head" she says looking up at me on the roof.


    "My bad hard to see a midget from up here" I called back.


    "That''s it, I am done with the short jokes boy, I will show you fucking short" she shrieks before


    stomping inside.


    "I would run if I were you"


    "Na, I''m good" I say when the bedroom door bursts open. Tyson snorts and I get a whiff of Drake''s


    scent.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    "Fuck!" I say jumping up.


    "That''s fucking cheating Lana" I scream when Drake climbs out the window.


    "Sorry bro, gotta dish out and ass kicking" he growls and I jump off the roof, Drake hot on my heels


    as do a runner from him.


    "Better run Ace" Lana calls outughing, Just as I am tackled. We wrestle before Tatees


    running over, also helping Drake pin me down. I see Tyson jump off the roofughing before seeing a


    pissed off Lana stalking towards me in her midget fury. Tate and Drake trying to pin me down.


    "Ha, not so cocky now" she says.


    "You fucking cheated, had to get your mates to get me because your too piss weak" I spit at her


    before tossing Drake off. She jumps on my back like a Spider monkey before biting my shoulder de.


    I growl at her trying to toss her off.


    "You fucking bit me"


    "Bloody pin him" Lana screams at her mates as theyugh at her clinging to me. I reach over my


    head grabbing her shirt before pulling her over my shoulder and throwing her on the ground. She


    growls at me getting up off the dirt.


    "Instead ofughing, how about you help?" I yelled at Tyson who was just watching me be


    attacked by the three of them. Hearing a war cry, I turned to look at all my nieces and nephews


    charging out of the house. Oh fuck!


    "Get him kids" Lana tells them and I run off, "oh shit!" Tyson says when he sees them running at


    him as well.


    We both take off for the trees knowing they can''t enter without their parent''s.


    "No fair" I heard Rayan call out when we went to their out of bounds area.


    "Come on we can go around back" Tyson says and we trudge through the Forest heading to the


    back of the property.


    I could just make out the swings and back area of the house as we step out of the trees, when I


    get a whiff of something that perks my wolf up.


    "Fuck something smells good" I tell Tyson, and he sniffs the air.


    "Mm what is that?" he asks and I shrug. My mouth was watering at the scent. I could see my


    mother putting up party decorations before Lucy skips down the steps with some fairy lights in her


    hands and somenterns.


    "Mate" both Tyson and I say at the same time, making me look at him. He growls at me and I growl


    back.


    "No mine" he snaps at me.


    "Like fuck, I saw her first" I tell him shoving him, he shoves me back.


    "Oi what''s going on?" My mother yells at us as I punch him. Distracting me enough that Tyson fist


    connects with my face. I tackle him and my mother shrieks.


    "Hey, buttfaces" Lucy calls out to us and both of us look over at her. Lucy had been raised


    alongside us, she was our brother''s stepdaughter and was 12, I couldn¡¯t believe our luck. Not only were


    we paired to the same girl we now had to wait years before she would recognise us, that¡¯s even if she


    could being a hybrid mutation without a wolf.


    "Can you help me hang these lights?" she asks,pletely oblivious to the fact she is our mate or


    one day will be.


    "I''ll help" I tell her, shoving Tyson back on the ground.


    "No, I fucking will" Tyson says shoving me back and knocking me over.


    "What''s going on, stop, you will scare the kids" Ryker says storming down the steps toward us as I


    swing at Tyson.


    "What has got into you, why are you fighting?" he asks.


    "We were mucking around"Tyson says, wiping his lip that was bleeding.


    "Doesn''t look like it" he snaps at us. I drop my arm on Tyson''s shoulder, jerking him toward me


    before pping his chest.


    "We good, right bro?"


    He ps mine harder "never better" he says.


    "Good, I need one of you to help me get the lights up there" Lucy says pointing to the railing along


    the awning.


    Tyson walks over to her grabbing her and cing her on his shoulders, I growl at him and Ryker


    looks at me. Giving me a look of what the fuck is going on. I shake my head walking over and passing


    the lights up to Lucy as she clips them onto the awning.


    ¡°What''s wrong with you two morons?¡± She asks.

    Chapter 3


    Lucy POV


    Getting out of the car, my mother was going to kill me. After nearly 5 years and onlying home


    on holiday breaks, I had finally pushed too many buttons and they kicked me out of school.


    My father sent Jacob to get me from Avalon City, a lot of us mutations had trouble fitting in with


    Pack wolves so Avery and Aamon they were alright for demons. Opened a boarding school for us,


    most of us were morefortable around our own kind, yet I couldn''t even see it out, another thing I


    failed at. I only had three more months and I would be 18 and finished with school. She was going to


    kill me especially after all the begging and pleading it took for her to let me go, only for me to fail.


    "Best get it over with Lucy, the longer you hold out the worse it will get" Jacob tells me before


    shutting my door and pushing me toward the front door. I looked up at the packhouse which is also my


    home, yet the thought of facing her had me wanting to run. I see the front door open and chicken out.


    "Nope, catch youter Jacob" I shrieked before taking off.


    "You gottae home sometime Lucy can''t run from me forever" I hear my mother yell to me as I


    dart off.


    "Just let her go Jacob, I will deal with her when she gets home" I heard my mother call to Jacob as


    he tried to catch me.


    Yep, I am noting home, I thought to myself. Breaking through the treeline, I head to my safe


    ce, my home away from home. Tyson and Ace, they are always on my side and I may just y on


    that a little. It took me twenty minutes before I hit the border of their pack as I raced through the forest.


    Crossing over it, three wolves jump out blocking me, always watching the borders there is no


    sneaking in around here. I am yet to sessfully sneak onto the territory. Ace and Tyson had the ce


    locked down like fort knox.


    One of the wolves shifts back the grey one with a white ear and I look up and recognise him


    instantly as one of their Beta''s. Tyson and Ace have two being there are two Alpha¡¯s of this pack.


    "Lucy, your back," Chris says, a little shocked. Obviously my father hadn¡¯t told anyone about my


    return, probably in case mum murdered me, good thinking dad! Chris was taller than me, then again


    most were, thanks to mum for the short genes! When mum got hit with the short stick the fates must


    have thought it funny to whack me with the whole damn tree, I think to myself. Chris covers himself with


    his hand and I raise an eyebrow at him. His long dark hair falling loosely down his back.


    "Nothing I haven''t seen before, where is Tyson and Ace?" I ask him.


    "Packhouse" I go to step around them when Chris steps in my way blocking me. I look up at the


    huge burly man and fold my arms across my chest and he smirks. ¡°Always up to mischief, it is going to


    get you in trouble one day¡± He smirks.


    ¡°Ha me? I¡¯m not trouble but if you don¡¯t move Chris trouble may find you¡± I tease.


    "Maybe a phone call would be good first Lucy, they didn''t realise you would be back" he says


    crossing his arms across his chest while my eyes dart down. He quickly realises his mistake before


    dropping his hands to cover himself again and I chuckle at him as his face heats. He was around Tyson


    and Ace¡¯s age but I could tell I was making him ufortable.


    "Since when do I need to call ahead, move Chris" I tell him and he sighs motioning to the other two


    to get out of my way. They followed me to the packhouse.


    "I know where they live, you don''t need to follow me Chris"


    "I know just making sure you don''t go off anywhere else, we been having issues with Alpha Jamie"


    he says and I turn around to face him.


    ¡°Alpha Jamie, since when is that anything new?¡± He shrugs and I look back up at the Pack house


    before turning to tell him to go only to find him gone already with the other two Wolves. I walk up the


    porch steps before hearing a moaning sound.


    Looking out at the driveway, I see Mna red Suzuki swift and roll my eyes. I knew it shouldn''t irk


    me but it does. Mna has been on and off with Ace for years now, I used to be friends with her but I


    couldn¡¯t stand the woman now.


    She is Josey''s sister, who was my friend still but Mna was also 5 years older than me and the


    same age as Ace and Tyson. Jumping off the porch, I walk around the side of the house stopping at


    Ace''s window. His curtain was wide open and I could see the bitch jumping up and down on him like he


    was a pogo stick. I duck down when she looks toward the window. Covering my mouth as I snickered.


    Walking out back, I go to the shed looking around, my eyes lighting up when I see brake fluid on the


    shelf.


    Grabbing it, I also find some white paint and grab that too. Fine she won''t leave, I will make her. I


    think to myself as I walk back to the front yard. I tip the brake fluid on her car, squirting it on her paint


    Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    knowing it will destroy it and eat the paint away. I toss the bottle before grabbing the tin of white paint


    and walk up the porch steps while undoing the lid with my ws. The front door suddenly opens and I


    hide the tin behind my back. Tyson stopped in his tracks when he saw me. A look of confusion crossing


    his gorgeous face


    "Lucy?" He seems shocked but damn does he smell good. They have always smelt nice but his


    scent was mouth watering good, and so much stronger then I remembered. I hadn¡¯t seen them since


    <pst christmas so it had been a good 8 months, but damn he looked better than ever.

    Chapter 4


    "You¡¯re back" he says before I hear Mna moan loudly and the sound really gets on my nerves


    making me growl. Tyson looks over his shoulder at the door before turning back to me.


    "Lucy, are you going to answer me?" Tyson asks before reaching for me. I step back and his eyes


    dart to my arm behind my back.


    "Hand it over, what have you got?" He scolds.


    "Nothing" I lie when he jerks me toward him by my shirt.


    "Lucy! Why do you have paint?"


    "Decorating" I snorted trying to hide myugh when he looked over my shoulder.


    "What have you done?"


    "Nothing yet" I tell him. Damn he smells good, I step closer inhaling his scent and he stiffens, his


    entire body goes tense, what is up with him?


    "You smell different" I tell him when suddenly Mna moans out again, the sound sounded more


    like a war cry and she was about to go into battle.Yet for some reason I wanted to w the bitches


    eyes from her skull and feed them to her. I shove past him and into the house, Tyson hot on my heels,


    he grabs my arm just as I reach Ace¡¯s bedroom door, sparks rush over my skin and he jerks his hand


    away when I gasp. Looking at me oddly and I see his eyes flicker to that of Tyrant, his wolf.


    I was about to ask if he was alright when Mna just had to cry out again and I tossed the door


    open, getting a good grip on the tin and chucking the paint over her, also covering Ace in the process.


    She shrieks.


    "What the fuck" Ace booms and I dart off shoving the paint tin in Tyson''s handsughing as I take


    off. Bloody bitch. I think to myself as I dart out of the pack house.


    I hear Ace snap at Tyson. "What the fuck bro" Tyson doesn''t answer and I rush out the back to the


    shed.


    Sitting in the shed, I hide behind one the cars, and snicker when I hear Mna cussing Ace and


    Tyson out before she gets in her car, dust and dirt spraying everywhere as she tears out of the


    driveway.


    ¡°Lucy,e here now¡± I hear Ace yell out to me and I press myself against his car, refusing to


    quickly crawl to the otherside only to see bare feet stop next to my face. I jump back scrambling


    backwards on my hands when I look up and see Ace, covered in white paint, coating his muscled chest


    and abs wearing a pair of shorts, his v-line slipping beneath the waistband, I shake my head realising I


    was checking him out before I shrink under his pissed off re and start moving backwards. My hands


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    hitting something and I feel shoes under my hands making me look up and see Tyson now behind me.


    ¡°Exin yourself¡± Ace says, drawing my attention back to him. He folds his arms across his chest


    making him even more imposing though I knew they would never hurt me, I suddenly felt guilty before I


    pped that feeling away. Fuck Mna!


    ¡°She was all over you¡± I spit at him and he raised an eyebrow at me, his eyes darting to Tyson


    behind me.


    ¡°And that bothers you why?¡± He asks. I thought about what he said, yet couldn''t exin why it


    ticked me off, but I suddenly didn¡¯t want her near him.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know¡± I answermely and he crouches down in front of me.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know? so you just tossed paint on her because you don¡¯t know?¡± He asks.


    ¡°I also put brake fluid on her car¡± I announce and he growls before looking up at Tyson.


    Ace sighs, running a hand through his hair. ¡°Why are you home, you don¡¯t finish for a few more


    months¡± Ace asks.


    ¡°No reason just stopping by¡± I lie.


    ¡°What did you do, Lucy?¡± Tyson asks, making me look up at him where I was practically sitting on


    his feet.


    ¡°I may or may not have blown up the scienceb¡±


    ¡°You may or may not have, exactly how does that work?¡± Tyson asks.


    ¡°Innocent till proven guilty¡± I tell him.


    ¡°So you will be found guilty, I take it?¡± Ace asks and I look back at him.


    ¡°You alway assume the worst of me,¡± I tell him.


    ¡°So you didn¡¯t do it then?¡± He asks and I press my lips in a line to try to hide my smile.


    ¡°Well I didn¡¯t say that¡± I tell him and he shakes his headughing softly. ¡°Of course you did it¡± He


    mutters.


    ¡°What can I say I was taught by the best?¡± I tell him and he smirks.


    ¡°Not even we blew up a science ss,e on we should take you home¡± Ace says standing up. I


    shake my head, nope not going, mum was out for blood and mine in particr, the bill was huge.


    ¡°Lucy up now¡± Tyson says, nudging me with my foot. I roll my eyes, getting to my feet before trying


    to do a runner and escape. Ace¡¯s arms wrapping around my waist jerking me back as I shoved past


    him.


    ¡°Not so fast trouble, you are going home¡± Ace says, his breath fanning my face and I lean into him,


    gosh he smells just as good as Tyson, did they start wearing different cologne, it was mouth watering.


    Sparks rushing across my abdomen where his armsy and I shiver at the sensation.


    ¡°Does your mother know you are here?¡± Ace asks, walking us out of the shed while I try to escape


    his arms.


    ¡°Probably I have nowhere else to go¡± I tell him before dropping my weight and going limp, sliding


    out of his grip. I crawl off trying to get to my feet. Only to be yanked upright and tossed over his


    shoulder.


    ¡°Lucy, you need to go home and we need to speak to my brother and your mother, we weren¡¯t


    expecting you back this early¡± Ace says.


    ¡°Wait, you''re dobbing on me, I confessed under the confidence you wouldn¡¯t tell her, I was guilty¡± I


    tell him smacking his back before sinking my teeth into his side.


    ¡°Argh, fuck Lucy you cannibal¡± He shrieks before his hand ms down on my ass, I squirm


    rubbing my butt.


    ¡°That fucking hurt¡± I shriek, my ass felt like it was branded.


    ¡°So did you biting me¡± He growls and I hear Tysonugh, making me look up and see him


    following behind us.


    ¡°We aren¡¯t dobbing on you, but it is about time we spoke to her about something, believe me what


    we have to say to her will make her forget about anything you did at school¡± Ace says.


    ¡°Doubt it, mum already got the damage bill¡± I tell him and Tyson sighs. ¡°Lucy! How much was it¡±


    ¡°A little over 20k¡± I tell him and he pinches the bridge of his nose before letting out a breath.


    ¡°Fine, I will take care of it, but you need to behave when you go back¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t, they expelled me¡± Ace growls his arm across my thighs tightening.


    ¡°Wait, what do you need to speak to mum about?¡± I ask curiously.


    ¡°Nothing you need to worry about right now, you¡¯ll figure it out I am sure¡± Tyson says.


    Ace walks up the steps of the porch before walking inside and dumping me on the lounge.


    ¡°Stay, and try not to break anything, or blow it up¡± Ace says, wandering off and into the bathroom.


    ¡°I will get you a shirt now that yours is covered in paint¡± Tyson says also walking down the hall. I


    get up wandering around looking at the photos on the wall. Most were family photos when I stopped


    noticing a wall that was just of me growing up with them. We had always been close, but now things felt


    different, they felt different.


    ¡°Here¡± Tyson says,ing back into the room and handing me one of his shirts. I pull mine off


    tossing at him before pulling his shirt on. I sniffed it and it smelt like him.


    ¡°Geez Lucy you don¡¯t just strip off¡± Tyson growls looking away.


    ¡°What, it¡¯s no different than seeing me in a bikini¡± I tell him not understanding his issue. He shakes


    his head.


    ¡°Did you guys change cologne?¡± I ask him, sniffing his shirt and he looks at me.


    ¡°We smell different to you?¡± He asks and I nod.


    ¡°Yeah your scent is heaps stronger, you also zapped me earlier¡± I tell him remembering the weird


    sensation that rushed over my skin when he touched me. He says nothing but appears to be thinking


    about something.


    Acees out fully dressed a few minutester after showering.


    ¡°Come on, you need to face her sooner orter, better with us with you¡± Ace says, gripping my


    elbow and pulling me toward the door.

 Chapter 5

    Chapter 5


    I did not want to go home, my mother would still spank me even though I am nearly 18. That


    woman was crazy, and damn does she have a good hand. I could still remember thest ass kicking


    she gave me, never thinking I would walk the same again, she branded my ass real good that day.


    Only this time I really messed up, I burnt the entire scienceb down. I still believe it isn''t


    the blow the entire ce up, not my fault someone left the gas on, the teacher was supposed to turn it


    off before locking it up¡±


    Ace opens the back door of the car, pushing me toward it. "How about you both go, and I wait


    here" I suggest. Tyson looks over at me from the other side of the car.


    "Get in the car Lucy" he says and purse my lips, nope I am not going. Turning around only to find


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    Ace smiling down at me, was he really finding my potential murder amusing?


    "Get in the car Lucy" he says as well, folding his arms across his broad chest but this big buffoon


    didn''t intimidate me, how could they when I grew up with them.


    I raised an eyebrow at his words, and was about to tell him to go suck on a big one when he


    leaned down proving how short I really am.


    "I can always make you" he says and I scoff at his words.


    "Make me then" I taunt and he goes to grab me, but I saw his hands twitch a second before and


    did the most logical thing any girl would do. I kicked him, the reaction was instantaneous. I almost felt


    my own imaginary nuts ache at the contact as he grunted, clutching his balls like his hands were the


    only thing leaving them attached to him, like it could somehow stop his pain.


    "Ha that will teach you for being balls deep in Mna" I tell him as I dart off heading for the forest


    at the back of the pack house, heading toward the river.


    "Fuck sake, seriously you couldn''t just toss her in" I hear Tyson tell him before chasing after me.


    My legs moved at lightning speed as I tried to remember which way went where. I had not been to


    this side of the woods in years but I knew there was a river somewhere, I just had to find it, I could


    follow it knowing it led to Mitchell''s ce, he would help me hide from my mother and these two. He


    was probably the only person who I actually liked in our pack. And didn''t look at me funny for my weird


    eyes.


    Hearing water, I diverted heading for it when I heard a growl sound from behind me making


    adrenaline course through me as I picked up my pace. I could smell the water. I was so close, I could


    hear the river running down stream. I was nearly in the clear. I just had to jump over to the other side


    and I knew I was free, though that put me on our neighbouring pack, I would only be quick and doubted


    they would detect me.


    I giggle when my foot leaves the bank before Tyson yells through the mindlink at me, his voice


    booming through my head startling me and I lose my footing tumbling forward and knocking the air


    from my lungs..


    ¡°Lucy no!¡± He screams just as I hit the ground on the other side. I turn to look at him when I hear


    growlsing from the trees near me. At first I didn¡¯t understand when the five wolves stepped out of


    the trees like they were waiting for someone to cross, confused more because they were members of a


    pack in alliance with ours, but the feral growls emitting from them said otherwise.


    They dropped their heads teeth bared and I scrambled backwards not understanding when I hear


    a vicious growl resonate of the trees before feeling fur brush against my arm, Tyson¡¯s scent wafting to


    me and I was shocked he cleared the river without falling in its depths, I was more vampire than


    werewolf so to me jumping was easy but he was in wolf form. He growls forcing his body over mine and


    the five wolves growl pack at him but back up. His aura radiating out of him made even me tremble


    though it wasn¡¯t directed at me when I see Ace¡¯s wolfe up on my other side before stepping toward


    them, stalking them and daring them to step closer. Both their wolves were identical though Atticus,


    Ace¡¯s wolf was slightly wider while Tyrant Tyson¡¯s wolf is taller, both equalling menacing and their paws


    were bigger than my hands as they towered over me shielding me from Alpha Jamie¡¯s pack pack


    warriors.


    ¡°Get back to the otherside Lucy now¡± Ace snaps at me through the mindlink, his eyes not leaving


    the five wolves. They looked too scared to move and I would be too if I had both their deadly gazes on


    me at this moment.


    Tyrant Tyson¡¯s wolf nips my hand when I don¡¯t move frozen in ce as I watched on, his teeth


    puncturing my hand making me hiss and jolt me out of my own head.


    ¡°Now¡± Tyrant deep gravelly voice orders making me whimper before I force myself to my feet. I


    turn before running toward the edge and jumping across. Tyson followed in his wolf form leaving Ace


    on the other side with the five wolves when he turned his back on them, yet not one of them dared


    move as he ran toward the river and jumped it, clearing rather easily. Atticus stalks toward me and he


    grabs my ankle, jerking me to the ground and ripping legs out from under me. I cry out as his teeth


    puncture through my flesh on my ankle. They never hurt me, no matter what I did, they never carried


    on like this especially their wolves but I could feel their auras smashing against me.


    ¡°You don¡¯t ever cross the border¡± Atticus snaps at me making me flinch away from him, I didn¡¯t


    understand what was going on. They were an alliance pack. Ace suddenly shifts back taking control


    from his wolf leaving him in a crouched position in front of me, his re made my blood run cold. He


    stands and I avert my gaze from his nudity.


    ¡°Get up¡± He says before stepping around me and walking into the trees heading toward the pack


    house.Tyson¡¯s wolf Tyrantes over nudging me before pulling on my shirt.


    ¡°Now Lucy¡± Tyson¡¯s voice flits through my head, I turn, getting to my feet when I feel his tongue run


    across my ankle, the wounds were already nearly healed, his saliva forcing them to heal instantly and


    the tingling sensation returned.


    ¡°Now start walking¡± Tyson says falling in line with me, Ace walking ahead and I could feel his aura


    even 20 metres away from him,

 Chapter 6

    Chapter 6


    When we get close to the packhouse Ace stops looking back at us and Tyrant licks my fingers


    making them tingle. ¡°You don¡¯t run from us, under any circumstances Lucy and you definitely don¡¯t


    cross into another territory¡± Ace scolds me. The look he was giving me made me feel like a naughty


    child. I hated when he looked at me like that.


    ¡°Now get in the fucking car while I go grab some clothes¡± He says storming off and inside. Tyson


    followed in after him in his wolf form.


    I walk toward Tyson ck mustang before opening the door and climbing in. I couldn¡¯t understand


    why Alpha Jamie¡¯s pack would try to attack me. Something must have happened while I was away.


    Tysones out first climbing in the driver''s seat, he doesn¡¯t say a word to me and I could feel how


    angry he was about me taking off. Ace climbs in the front looking over at me.


    ¡°Seatbelt Lucy¡± He says and I huff annoyed before clipping it in and folding my arms across my


    chest. Tyson reverses out of the driveway and I try not to think about the ass whooping my mother is


    going to give me.


    ¡°Where were you going anyway?¡± Tyson asks, breaking the silence in the car.


    ¡°Mitchell¡¯s¡± I tell him looking out the window.


    ¡°You still talk to that fool?¡± he says.


    ¡°He isn¡¯t a fool, he is my friend. At least he wouldn¡¯t hand me over to my mother like you pair are


    doing¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Like he would have a choice, your mother is Queen no one can go against her and my brother¡±


    Ace says.


    ¡°You can resist her,¡± I tell them.


    ¡°Yes but we are Lycan descendants like my mother Lucy, but even still your mother is Queen and


    she can stillmand us, she just chooses not to since we are her brother iws¡± Tyson says looking


    in the rearview mirror at me. I looked away, she was going to kill me, I wondered how dad would take it,


    knowing my stepfather, he would probably think it funny, half the time when my parents fought it was


    over me and my misadventures.


    ¡°Stop worrying Lucy, your mother willpletely forget about what you have done, believe me,


    she will be more preupied with killing me and Ace¡± Tyson says.


    ¡°Why, what did you two do?¡± I ask curiously. Ace I could probably picture getting in trouble and


    doing something, Tyson however was always so serious these days. He was never like that growing


    up, I think when he didn¡¯t find his mate it changed him. He used to tell me all about mates when I was


    growing up and I knew he was excited to find his, he was even saving himself for his mate. Which


    made curious wondering if he was still a virgin, I knew Ace wasn¡¯t but Tyson wasn¡¯t like Ace I never


    saw him with another girl growing up, maybe he is gay.


    Leaning forward in my seat I ask him.


    ¡°Are you gay?¡± I ask him. Aceughs at my words and Tyson growls.


    ¡°What makes you think I am gay?¡± He asks.


    ¡°Because you are 23 and I just realised I have never seen you with a girl since I was like 11 or 12,


    I know Ace isn¡¯t obviously¡± The thought of him with Mna irritated me and I wanted to w her eyes


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    out.


    ¡°Ace is just selfish by not waiting and I¡¯m not gay Lucy, I am just saving myself for my mate¡± He


    says looking over his shoulder at me.


    ¡°So you¡¯re still a virgin?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°Yes Lucy, he is still a virgin. I hear wanking all the time¡± Ace tells me and Tyson elbows him before


    growling at him.


    ¡°Why the sudden interest in our sex lives Lucy?¡± Tyson asks me.


    ¡°No, I was just wondering is all¡±


    ¡°Fine, what about yours then have you been saving yourself for your mate?¡± Ace asks, turning in


    his seat and looking back at me.


    ¡°I don''t have a mate, you both know that. I have no wolf so even if I did, I would never recognise


    him¡± I tell them, the thought saddened me. I loved the idea of mates but knew I would never find mine


    unless he found me and told me but no one wants a mutation for a mate.


    ¡°Your mate is probably closer than you think Lucy, you will find him¡± Tyson says.


    ¡°Or them!¡± Ace growls at him, making me furrow my brows at his sudden hostility.


    ¡°You still didn¡¯t answer my question, you better not have fooled around with that Mitchell can¡¯t


    stand his arrogant ass¡± Ace growls at me. I rolled my eyes at him and his over protectiveness, they


    were like big brothers to me growing up but now things felt different and I suddenly found answering


    embarrassing..


    ¡°No of course not he is a friend¡± I tell him looking out the window. Their scents were overwhelming


    in the car, I wonder what cologne they changed to, it smells devine.


    I wind the window down getting some fresh air, we were not far from home now and dread was


    starting to fill me.


    ¡°She isn¡¯t very good at listening?¡± Ace mumbles, making me look at him.


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°You still didn¡¯t answer,¡± He says.


    ¡°Why do I have to?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°Well you asked about Tyson¡¯s¡± Ace says and I see Tyson¡¯s eyes dart to mine in the mirror. My


    face heated under his intense gaze forcing me to pull my eyes from his.


    ¡°Yes I am saving myself for the mate I don¡¯t have, if you must know¡± I tell Ace and he nods.


    ¡°Good¡± He says, looking back at the front. I shake my head at his words, did my mother ask them


    to ask about my non existent sex life? Their curiosity confused me though I was curious about Tyson¡¯s


    so I suppose it was my own fault for bringing it up.


    ¡°So are you going to tell me what you need to tell my mother, I want to know what you did that is


    going to make what I did, look like nothing¡± I ask them and they look at each other.


    ¡°Nothing yet, but she is going to be pissed off,¡± Tyson says.


    ¡°She will be pissed off at you, she may kill me¡± Ace says and I thought I saw regret sh across his


    eyes as he looked at his brother, making me wonder what it was he regretted doing.

 Chapter 7

    Chapter 7


    Pulling up, I groan when I see my mother standing out the front, if looks could kill I was turned to


    ash the moment I stepped out of the car. My motheres storming over to me in all her zing hot


    anger, I could practically see the steaming off her as she boiled like a kettle about to scream at


    me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you run from me¡± She growls as she reaches me and Tyson steps in front of her, her hand


    connecting with his chest instead of my face. I knew I deserved it but I sure as hell didn¡¯t want to cop it.


    If she would only hear me out, I never meant to blow up the scienceb. Yes I intended to start the fire


    but I never intended it to destroy the building and I still had my reasons for doing it, if she would just let


    me exin.


    ¡°Reika!¡± My step father snaps at her as he walks out. Tyson rubs his chest where she hit him as I


    cowered like the chicken I am behind him, hoping he can save me from her wrath.


    ¡°Inside now Lucy¡± My father says ring at my mother for going to strike me. She drops her head


    and sighs.


    ¡°Well what do you expect, she is out of control and I am fucking sick of it, you deal with her then¡±


    My mother screeches at him as I run inside and up the steps to my room. Great now, I am trapped in


    here, good few days she will calm down hopefully and I can sneak out of my room again or maybe she


    will let me exin without killing me first. I lock it just to make sure. Flopping on my bed, I wrap my


    purpleforter around me.


    What a way toe home, yet nowhere felt like home anymore. Being away from here for years,


    only returning for holidays had left me and mother estranged slightly, she spent more time yelling at me


    then letting me exin. Hearing the door bang downstairs, I jump before hearing a soft knock on the


    door.


    ¡°Lucy, let me in¡± I hear my little brother Rayan call through the door. I smile, I hadn¡¯t seen him for 8


    months. Getting up, I walk over unlocking the door before reaching out and jerking him inside and


    locking the door again. I grab him, squishing him against me as I pick him up and cuddle him, inhaling


    his scent. Gosh I missed him, he had a growth spurt since Ist saw him and now was up to my


    shoulder.


    ¡°Can¡¯t breathe¡± He gasps and I let him go. Rayan was 10 and the picture perfect son in mum¡¯s


    eyes. He was next in line for my stepfather''s title as the Lycan king, I don¡¯t remember my father but


    from what I heard I don¡¯t want to, he is the one responsible for killing my wolf and ruining my chances


    of ever finding my mate or leaving this pack.


    I stare down at my brother with his silver and gold eyes and dark curls, he looks like his father,


    though the eyes he gets from mum. Mum was also a mutation and was born and raised in captivity like


    me. We were separated when I was baby and until she met her mate the Lycan king, I was kept in a


    facility with hundreds of others like me. Experimented on and used by the hunters. My stepfather with


    the help of his family and the others pack took them down and freed us. But none of us are truly free,


    we all live with what happened. Live with the nightmares that gue us.


    ¡°I missed you¡± He says, flopping on my bed and making himselffortable with his bag of chips. I


    sat next to him and he offered me some. I dig my hand through the bag, grabbing some before leaning


    back against the headboard.


    ¡°On a scale of one to ten, how much does mum want to murder me?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°A twelve, but don¡¯t worry I heard uncle Tyson say he would pay for the damage as I walked up


    here, figured I would get onest glimpse of you before your death, what sort of flowers should I put on


    your grave?¡± He asks with a shrug. I nudge him with my elbow.


    Heughs before he sighs, ¡°Lucy, why did you do it?¡± He asks and I look at him.


    ¡°He pissed me off and the piece of shit deserved it, to be fair though I didn¡¯t know it was


    mmable¡±


    ¡°Since when is petrol not mmable?¡± Rayan asks with a chuckle.


    ¡°Since it was in a normal stic bottle¡± I tell him, he could always see straight through me. I might


    as well have been made of ss when it came to my little brother.


    ¡°Did you happen to bring the stic bottle with the petrol?¡± He asks.


    ¡°No, of course not¡± I tell him, acting appalled at his outrageously true fact.


    ¡°You did it deliberately, didn¡¯t you?¡± I sigh, running my fingers through my hair. He always saw


    straight through me. I nod knowing it was no use lying to him. Shit it was no use lying to any of them,


    they all know I am guilty. Though he truly deserved it, I should have burned the bastard alive, instead I


    burned his ssroom down.


    ¡°Why?¡± He asks and I look at him, he is the only person that ever asks why, most just use me


    and tell me it''s to do with being a mutated freak. To be fair I have done my fair share of stupid shit but


    for once I actually had a reason.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t matter Rayan¡± I tell him before I hear screaming downstairs and things being thrown


    around and smashed. Rayan and I look at each other before getting up and I crack the door open.


    ¡°Reika calm down, you think we asked for this to happen¡± I hear Tyson yell at her as Rayan and I


    rush out peering over the balcony to the floor below. Tyson ducks as she throws something at him and


    Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    it hits the wall behind him leaving a dent.


    ¡°Love enough¡± I hear Ryker my stepfather tell her.


    ¡°What, you are fucking okay with this, it is fucking wrong¡± She screams and curiousity gets the


    better of me and Rayan. I creep down the steps. Rayan also curious, follows me. One of the steps


    creak under his weight and he smiles, his teeth clenched and his eyes squint like oops. My mother


    looks up at me, her face twisting in anger at the sight of me.


    ¡°And you, you wait till I get my hands on you¡± she growls about to storm up the steps. Thanks


    Rayan now we don¡¯t know what they were arguing over. I think to myself when I see my mothers thong


    flying towards me. I duck before snorting that she just threw her shoe at me. I watch Rayan dart off


    escaping her fury.


    ¡°Get here now, do you have any idea what you have done?¡± She snaps at me before I feel the


    thought it bullshit that I have no wolf and yet am still affected by her aura or any Alpha¡¯s aura, didn¡¯t


    seem fair. I stopped in front of her and I had never seen her so angry.


    ¡°You humiliated our family, do you have any idea how hard it was getting you back into that school


    the first time they kicked you out?¡± She screams at me. I knew it was the hormones from her being


    pregnant but to say I was petrified of her was understatement. She never hit me growing up but thest


    four times I have been home, I have copped it from her or her wolf Amanda. Before I could even


    answer I felt her hand connect with the side of my face, her handprint bleeding into my skin as my head


    whips to the side from the force and I feel my lip split open before blood trickles down my chin. I hear


    my step father growl furiously as she raises her hand again.

 Chapter 8

    Chapter 8


    Only this time her hand didn¡¯t connect, instead I saw Ace grab her wrist just before she struck me


    again. ¡°Pregnant or not I will break your fucking arm if you strike her again¡± He growls at her and I rub


    my lip with my thumb to find it bleeding.


    Ryker growls and I feel his aura rush out at the threat against his mate, my mother. Ace and Tyson


    are able to resist it slightly being family but me, it dropped me on my ass, my teeth clenched so tight I


    thought they would break as I screamed at the sudden agony before themand drops and my father


    grips my arms.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Damn Lucy, I am sorry. It wasn¡¯t directed at you¡± He says gripping my arms, hauling me upright


    while I try to catch my breath.


    My mother res at me but says nothing.¡±Everyone needs to cool off, Lucy go with Tyson and


    Ace, till your mother calms down¡±


    ¡°Are you fucking insane, she can¡¯t go with them after what they just told us?¡± My mother screams


    at him and he res at her. My father never ever denies her anything, or goes against her. He can


    usually persuade her but never directly tells her what to do but today I could see she really got under


    his skin.


    ¡°Lucy is going with Tyson and Ace and that is final, you had no right toy a finger on her, I don¡¯t


    care what she did, she is our fucking daughter¡± He yells at her while pointing to me.


    I flinched away from his sudden anger which I was not used to, he was always calm and loving


    growing up, this was another side of him I was not used to, though I had heard stories of the Lycan king


    and how cruel he is, but to me he was dad.


    ¡°Fine, she can go!¡± She said, looking at him before she turned to me, my stepfather sighs and


    looked relieved until the next words left her lips, shocking all of us.


    ¡°Don¡¯te back I am sick of digging you out every time you bury yourself, I won¡¯t have Rayan


    around your destructive behaviour, you should be ashamed of yourself, I know I am¡± She says I feel my


    stomach twist painfully. I could see she was upset at what she said. I look to my father and he


    mindlinks me.


    ¡°I will speak with her, just let her calm down¡± He says before touching my mothers shoulder.


    My mother hangs her head, her long blonde hair falling forward and he pulls her to him tucking her


    under his chin and I could see he was upset at yelling at his mate, but she was being a little over the


    top, I never expected her to kick me out though, never thought she would be embarrassed of me. I


    know it caused conflict with Aamon and Avery seeing as they were mum and dad¡¯s bestfriends, but to


    say she was ashamed of me stung. I had enough shame, and she was thest person I wanted to be


    ashamed of me.


    ¡°Go Lucy¡± He says softly nodding toward the door. I swallow the lump in my throat and look to the


    stairs to see Rayan standing on the top step. I go to step toward him when I see tears slip down his


    face at me being kicked out. I felt bad I had let him down.I was only home for 5 minutes and I was


    already being kicked out.


    ¡°Get out¡± My mother says not even looking at me and I stop looking up at my brother. I press my


    lips in a line fighting back tears before turning on my heel and walking away from him. I walk outside


    and Tyson grabs my arm and I rip my arm from his grip.


    ¡°Don¡¯t touch me, this is exactly why I didn¡¯t want toe home, she never lets me exin¡± I tell


    him before walking toward the forest.


    ¡°Exin what, what did you expect Lucy when you burned a ssroom down?¡± Tyson says


    throwing his arms in the air. I don''t bother answering there is no point, instead I start running toward


    Mitchells.


    Mitchell¡¯s was the only ce I knew I could go. I couldn¡¯t face Tyson and Ace, they seemed just as


    disappointed as my mother, everyone always saw the worst in me. Maybe I was bad, maybe I asked for


    it? There is nothing more lonely than having no one on your side, no one you can rte to. I was


    basically a vampire living amongst wolves, the illegitimate child to the lycan king, though dad never


    treated me like I didn¡¯t belong but that didn¡¯t mean I knew I didn¡¯t, that is why I asked to go to the


    boarding school in the first ce.


    Mna and Josie thrived under the attention of being mutations, Mna enjoyed the attention she


    received in school here, however to me it was just a constant reminder I don¡¯t belong, I was the only


    mutation without a wolf. The rest survived the shift, my biological father being a human made me


    weaker than them and my wolf never survived, I never survived. If I didn¡¯t have vampire genes from my


    mother being a hybrid mutation I would be dead. Dieing awoke the vampire gene within me and now I


    was basically a bloodthirsty monster amongst a pack of wolves.


    When Aamon and Avery opened the boarding school, I begged my mother to let me go and it was


    Tyson and Ace that convinced her for me. They knew how much I struggled in school and saw how


    much I struggled with my own identity. Turns out I didn¡¯t belong there either, boarding school was just


    another ce of torment but for different reasons. The first four years were great, thest year has


    been a living nightmare. I put my trust in the wrong person, that trust was abused.


    ¡°Lucy, where are you going?¡± Comes Ace¡¯s voice through the mindlink.


    ¡°I am going to Mitchell¡¯s¡± I tell him as I try to focus on where I am going without running into a tree,


    the mindlinks can be distracting and wouldn¡¯t be the first time I had run into something.


    ¡°Make sure you are home before dark¡± He says before cutting the mindlink, I could tell he was


    angry I ran from them, yet I didn¡¯t understand his issue with Mitchell.


    Home, I wasn¡¯t going home. Tyson and Ace may have let me stay with them but I didn¡¯t belong


    there with them. I didn¡¯t belong anywhere and everytime I came back, every holiday that I returned, it


    got more and more startling clear how much I didn¡¯t belong. I had no home, mum had built a new life


    and I was on the outside of it now, not even she wanted me. I would watch her with Rayan, I was so


    excited when he was born. I even helped deliver him, he was so perfect, so small and I loved him


    instantly, but mum was so focused on him which is understandable he was a baby, but I got pushed


    out, bit by bit.


    Before realising if it wasn¡¯t for me they would be the picture perfect family. I felt like the dirty secret


    everyone knew about. I had no doubt my parents loved me but sometimes that isn¡¯t enough when


    everyone else looks at you like you don¡¯t belong.


    Stopping at the river that runs almost a full circle around the city and the borders. I walk through


    the tree a little further before I stop at the green wooden house nestled amongst the trees, hidden from


    the road on the other side of the forest, the driveway barely visible.


    Mitchells dad was a pack warrior of my fathers pack, all the packs were linked together branching


    off one another now since the majority of his family ran them now. Stopping out the front, I walk up the


    verandah stairs. Before I could even knock his mother had opened the door. Her curly red hair framing


    her heart shaped face. Her green eyes light up when she sees me.


    ¡°You¡¯re back¡± She says, opening her arms to me. I always like Merideth, she was always so happy


    to see me, despite me being a pain in the ass sometimes and getting her son in trouble. I wrap my


    arms around her slim waist, hugging her tightly.


    ¡°You hungry, I am just about to put dinner on if you want to stay for tea?¡± She says and I nod


    before thanking her.


    ¡°Mitchell, Lucy is here¡± She sings out to him before walking toward the kitchen off the side of the


    stairs. I hear footsteps on the floor above. This house was a pole home and was homely, not like the


    packhouse that was always crisp and clean. This ce had character with its exposed rounded beams


    and fireces, family photos hanging on every wall.


    ¡°Lucy?¡± Mitchell says, stopping at the top of the steps, a grin gracing his face showing his perfectly


    straight teeth. He sweeps his blonde fringe out of his eyes before rushing down the steps toward me.


    His arms wrapped around me as he lifted me off the ground in a hug, my feet dangling in the air and I


    hugged him back.


    I first met Mitchell when I was ying at the river when I was ten, his family had just been


    epted into the pack and I was ying by myself when he came across me, after that we quickly


    became friends and through primary school were pretty much inseparable, well until we hit highschool,


    once I left for boarding school our only contact was via phone and video chat, we still spoke every day


    but it wasn¡¯t the same I missed my friend, missed him something fierce.


    He had shot right up since I saw him 8 months ago. He was well over 6ft tall and had packed on


    quite a bit of muscle but was still lean and nowhere near the size of Ace and Tyson. He was built like a


    warrior, like his father and I knew he would be a great one when he finished school.


    ¡°You came back, for good?¡± He asks, letting me go and cing me back on my feet.

    Chapter 9


    Tyson POV


    What a disaster that was. I knew Reika would be pissed off because she was our mate. Exactly


    why we had avoided telling her, but I wasn¡¯t expecting her to lose her shit so badly. Ryker just gave us


    a knowing look. Like he already knew all along which wouldn¡¯t surprise me, he was very observant.


    Ryker was more disappointed that Ace had been fooling around with Mna knowing he had a


    mate. Reika didn''t care about that, she was more furious we were her mates, she wanted to kill us. We


    can¡¯t help who our mate is, that isn¡¯t up to us to decide, she knows this and it wasn¡¯t like Lucy was


    actually rted to us, she was in no way a rtion to us. It didn¡¯t seem weird to me, I could understand


    her freaky out if she were our niece but she isn¡¯t we don''t share the same blood thankfully because


    yeah that would be disgusting and I would have to reject her but I wasn¡¯t going to reject her just


    because her mother is ufortable with the situation.


    ¡°Great now what?¡± Ace says leaning on the car watching after Lucy who took off. I felt terrible for


    her, she couldn¡¯t even get a word in and it ticked me off that Reika was so angry she would hit her. I


    feel partially to me, I don''t think she would have struck her if she wasn¡¯t also angry with Ace and I.


    Hearing the door open, I look to the packhouse to see my brothere out.


    ¡°Reika will calm down, I know you guys didn¡¯t ask for this but you have to realise, to her it is a little


    weird¡± He exins and I nod running a hand through my hair.


    ¡°I know she is your stepdaughter but I am not rejecting her Ryker¡± I tell him.


    ¡°I don¡¯t expect you to, I had my suspicions¡± He admits and Ace looks at him.


    ¡°You knew?¡± Ace asks and Ryker shrugs, ¡°Little obvious with how you are always first to jump in


    when something goes wrong with her, how you were constantly drawn to her the moment we got her


    back¡± He says before looking in the car.


    ¡°Where is she?¡± he asks.


    I see Ace mindlink her, his eyes zing over before he focuses back on us. He growls not happy


    but answers. ¡°She is going to Mitchells¡± He says and I feel a pang of hurt knowing she ran to him and


    away from us.


    ¡°Does she know?¡± Ryker asks and I shake my head.


    ¡°Are you going to tell her?¡±


    ¡°We will see if she figures it out first, besides Ace kind of ruined us telling her today¡± I tell him


    ring at my twin. Ace looked away and I could tell he wished he now waited. He never wanted Lucy to


    catch him like that, especially with Mna.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Ryker growls looking at him. Ace doesn¡¯t answer.


    ¡°Lucy walked in on him with Mna,¡± I told Ryker. Ryker growls and res at him, I told Ace to


    wait but he was too much of adies man. Bloody fool. Lucy won¡¯t be happy when she finds out, he


    should have been thinking of the effects it would have on her, instead of thinking with his dick.


    ¡°Going to enjoy watching you dig yourself out that hole Ace, she rejects you, you have no one to


    me but yourself, Mna used to be her friend. How could you?¡± Ryker growls at him.


    ¡°I know I fucked up, Mna knows she will never be my Luna, she knows that, I made sure that


    was clear. She won¡¯t be an issue. I will break it off with her tonight, ok?¡±


    ¡°No, it''s not ok, you never should have been involved with her in the first ce¡± Ryker yells at him.


    Ace hangs his head but hey I wouldn''t be upset if she rejected him. I could have her to myself. The


    idea of sharing her with my brother grossed me out.


    ¡°Once Reika calms down she cane back home, but until then keep an eye on her¡± Ryker says


    before walking inside. I look at Ace.


    ¡°I told her to be home by dark¡± He says and I nod before opening my car door and climbing in. Ace


    climbs in beside me, shutting his door and I start the car heading home.


    ¡°Drop me to Mna¡¯s on the way¡± I look at him.


    ¡°I swear to god Ace, if you being with Mna fucks everything up I will fucking kill you¡± I tell him.


    ¡°If anything it will stuff me over, you didn¡¯t do anything besides I never wanted Mna, she was


    just a distraction¡± He says and I roll my eyes. I doubt Mna sees it that way.


    I dropped Ace tp Mna¡¯s apartment in the city and he told me he would run home when he was


    done dealing with her. Driving home, I pull up out the front and lean my head against the headrest.


    Tyrant was pissed off, that we just let her run off. But what does he want me to do? I couldn¡¯t control


    her and tell her what to do, she wasn¡¯t even aware we are her mates and thest thing I wanted her to


    think was that she was unwee here, or force her here and have hate me for it. Opening the


    mindlink, I feel for her teether, all our packs now branch of each other now under the Lycan kings rule


    we now have a link to any of us in an alliance, well except Alpha Jamie¡¯s pack he likes to make things


    increasingly difficult and I knew I would have to deal with him sooner orter, I knew his pack warriors


    would have alerted him to Lucy¡¯s presence when she stepped across the border.


    ¡°What Tyson?¡± Lucy asks when her side of the link opens up.


    ¡°Just checking on you, make sure youe back here before dark. I don¡¯t want you roaming the


    streets¡± I tell her.


    ¡°Yeah whatever you say Alpha¡± She says and I could hear her aggravation in her voice, sometimes


    I think she hated being the only out of my entire family that doesn¡¯t have an Alpha aura, doesn¡¯t have


    the ability to stand up for herself especially against her mother now she is mated to my brother.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to call me that, Lucy. You know that¡± I tell her. She didn''t answer but I could feel


    the link open still and knew she was listening.


    ¡°What are you and Mitchell doing?¡± I ask her, trying to keep the jealousy from my voice. I hated


    how close they were even while she was away. I knew she never went a day without talking to him


    even if it was just text messages.


    ¡°Nothing, but Meredith invited me to stay for dinner, so I will head back after that¡± She tells me.


    ¡°I wille pick you up, I don¡¯t want you walking in the dark¡± I tell her.


    ¡°No, I am good, Mitchell can run me back¡± She says and I sigh.


    ¡°Fine but notte Lucy, if you aren''t going to school, you can start training then with me of a


    morning¡±


    ¡°What, yelling at me wasn¡¯t enough, now you want to beat the living daylights out of me¡± She says.


    ¡°No, we can discuss it when you get here, notte Lucy. I mean it or I wille and find you¡± I


    warn her and she cuts the link off and I sigh. I have no problems grabbing her while she is kicking and


    screaming, I was used to her defiance, and the major chip on her shoulder. Though it has gotten worse


    thest year or so, she very rarely talks to us anymore, or if she does she shoves us out when we


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    be a little too nosey when we would mindlink her.


    Ace and I have discussed with each other that something was off but then we see her and she is


    her normal loud bubbly self, she was hard to take seriously, didn¡¯t help she was constantly in trouble


    with some authority figure but something was off. I could feel it, Tyrant could feel it too, she changed.


    Something within her changed or maybe she was just bing more aware of the bond and didn''t


    know what to make of it without having a wolf.

 Chapter 10

    Chapter 10


    Lucy POV


    Mitchell¡¯s mum made beef stroganoff for dinner. It felt weird sitting at a table eating with a family.


    Usually I was in a mess hall full of others like me, the chatter was endless and you could blend in easily


    and remain invisible. Mitchell¡¯s father was on pack patrol, so he didn¡¯t join us. It was just Meredith and


    Mitchell. His mum asked a never ending amount of questions.


    ¡°Have you found your mate yet?¡± Meredith asks and I see Mitchell give his mother a look.


    ¡°What?¡± His mother asks, shocked by his re.


    ¡°You know she hasn¡¯t got a wolf¡± Mitchell tells her.


    ¡°Neither did Queen Aria when she ruled, she still found her mate¡± Meredith tells me. Aria was my


    stepfather¡¯s mother, even though I wasn¡¯t technically rted, or in other words was just a prick rtion.


    She always treated me as if I was her grandchild. I loved my family dearly but they just didn¡¯t


    understand what it was like being an outsider and a constant disappointment. I know what they think, I


    am not stupid or blind. They think of me as troubled. A mess they wish could clean itself up. We ate


    dinner in afortable silence after that, then I helped Meredith do the dishes.


    Mitchell walks into the kitchen before grabbing his keys. I told him about being expelled but once


    again never gave him a reason. I just let him make it out how he wanted, I didn¡¯t care to exin myself.


    No one would believe me anyway.


    ¡°Want me to run you home?¡± Mitchell asks, grabbing his car keys. I also hadn¡¯t told him I was


    kicked out. Sometimes I wish I was human, they didn¡¯t realise how free they were without having to


    worry about pack issues, mates, or no mates. Didn¡¯t have to be the illegitimate child of the Alpha


    Queen.


    ¡°No it''s not far, I want to go for a run anyhow¡± I tell him, grabbing my jumper and pulling it on.


    Mitchell gives me a hug walking me to the door.


    ¡°I can run you back?¡± He offers but I shake my head. I wasn¡¯t even sure where I was going myself.


    ¡°Nope I am good, it''s still only early. I will see you tomorrow¡± I tell him.


    ¡°I have school, stop by after¡± He calls and I nod heading for the treeline. I darted into the trees,


    heading home. Hoping my mother was calm enough to let mee back, it had been a few hours.


    Maybe she would at least let me stay, she didn''t seem keen on me going to Ace and Tyson¡¯s ce so


    hopefully she changed her mind. On the run home, I feel the mindlink open up, Ace¡¯s voice flitting


    through my head.


    ¡°I told you to be home before dark, where are you Lucy?¡± He asks.


    ¡°Heading home now, I am nearly at the packhouse¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Which side, I will meet you¡± He says and I could hear Atticus mumbling about me being out in the


    woods, I shake my head at his wolf as he slipped through the link.


    ¡°No, I am heading home, home. Back to mums¡± I tell him and he goes quiet.


    ¡°So she let you back, that''s good then, I will be home tomorrow if you want toe over while


    everyone is at school and work¡± He tells me and I nod before realising he couldn¡¯t see me. I nearly ran


    into a tree, only just managing to stop before I hit the low hanging branch.


    ¡°Yes, she has calmed down now¡± I lie ducking under the branch, I was also hopeful she had and it


    was just the pregnancy hormones.


    ¡°Ok welle see me and Tyson tomorrow please¡± He says and I agree before cutting off the


    mindlink. Walking through the trees in the backyard. I could see my stepfather busily helping my


    mother in the kitchen, she was never a good cook. The woman could burn water but she always tried. I


    watched as Rayan sat up at the table with his te and my mother and stepfather joined him and they


    looked like the picturesque family, they looked happy.


    Pulling on the mindlink, I watch my brother shiver still not used to it like I was.


    ¡°Bet you must be d to spend time with Tyson and Ace, mum burnt dinner again at least they can


    cook¡± He says, feeling the link open. My heart sinks at his words, my mother was obviously still pissed


    at me.


    ¡°Ah yeah it''s great, how is mum?¡± I asked him and I could see my stepfather watching him,


    realising he was mindlinking someone and he no doubt knew it was me, because besides my mum and


    dad he hardly used the link.


    ¡°She is still mad, you best just steer clear for a few days, mum and dad had a huge fight after you


    left¡± He tells me, I sigh great didn¡¯t leave me many options then.


    ¡°Come see me at school tomorrow, I want to see you, you only just got here and I can¡¯t see you


    anymore¡± He tells me sadly, I suddenly felt guilty. I know he was lonely in that house by himself, always


    followed around by Jacob, it was hard for him to make friends. Rayan didn¡¯t trust easily, and he hates


    fake people and a lot were. Some would do anything to be friends with the next Hybrid King and Rayan


    didn¡¯t like that, didn¡¯t like the attention.


    ¡°Meet me at the park across the road from school, what time does Jacob pick you up?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°3 but I can get out early¡± he tells me.


    ¡°How?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°By ordering my teacher to let me out¡± Heughs and I roll my eyes. Of course he could, he has an


    Alpha aura even though he still hasn¡¯t got his wolf yet.


    ¡°Ok, meet me at the park at twenty to three and can you bring me some spare clothes¡± I tell him.


    Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Ok.. and sis.. I love you¡± he tells me.


    ¡°I love you too, make sure you eat your dinner so you can have your dessert¡± I tell him before


    cutting off the link. Now what? I thought to myself, I couldn¡¯t go to Tyson and Ace''s. I already told them I


    was at home. And I didn¡¯t really feel like listening to Mna with Ace all night. Just thinking of that


    grinded my gears.


    Walking back amongst the trees, I head for the only ce I can think of, the river. For the most part


    it was safe there and also the the border patrol hardly manned it here because on the other side was a


    mountain, not much activity by the pack house whereas near Tyson and Aces territory across the river


    was Alpha Jamie''s pack but I would be safe there.


    It took me twenty minute to walk to the river, gathering wood as I went. Just like camping, I think to


    myself. Ace and Tyson used to take me camping as a kid, I loved it. We would stay out in the woods for


    days, and that was the first time I ever ate rabbit. Tyson''s wolf caught it and I was repulsed at the


    thought of eating the furry critter but it doesn¡¯t actually taste bad, like any other meat just off a cute furry


    creature. But that just reminded me of another issue I will face while out here. I needed blood. I could


    go a day or two but it will be ufortable if I go too long. I couldn¡¯t ask Rayan to grab any from


    the freezer. It will go yuck sitting in his bag all day.


    I make a fire before flopping on the ground next to it and pulling my arms inside my jumper to keep


    warm. I stare at the stars littering the night sky. I used to y dot to dot with stars when I was kid, trying


    to imagine joining them to make pictures. One thing about being out here, it was peaceful. No one to


    judge me or look down on me, it was quiet leaving me to my own thoughts, not that they were any less


    depressing.


    Sometimes I actually missed the facility, at least it was routine and predictable. No one expected


    anything of you there; they just let you rot in the cells. But I never had to worry about anything in there


    because we were all the same, all equally nothing. Here people expect you to be a certain way, act a


    certain way and when you don¡¯t meet those expectations you are faced with nothing but


    disappointment and the judgement of others.

 Chapter 11

    Chapter 11


    The next day I spent most of my time by the river. Looking at my phone that was nearly dead, I see


    it is nearly 2pm and head into the city to meet my little brother. I sit on the swings at the park. Staring


    over the pack school. It was smaller than the boarding school I attended. Tall gates wrapped around


    the entire brick building, it had small buildings branching off it and a huge brick archway that led to the


    front gate. Flowers running along the footpath out the front and a small pedestrian crossing leading to


    the park I was sitting in which was next to the school car park.


    My eyes light up when I see my brother walking toward the exit. His blue backpack tossed over


    one shoulder. I watch as he looks in both directions before crossing the road. He waves as he steps


    onto the footpath on this side of the road.


    ¡°Hey sis¡± He calls to me and I hop up. He rushes over and wraps his arm around my waist, I inhale


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    his scent. I loved how he smelt of the forest. I let him go sitting back on the swing and he sat on the


    other before opening his bag and digging through it. He pulls out a stic bag, handing it to me.


    ¡°I got you jeans and skivvy, there is also a jumper in there and a throw over nket and some


    underwear¡± He says scrunching his face up at having to touch my knickers. I look at himughing at his


    face. He was a good brother.


    ¡°I know you''re staying at the river, your voice sounded closest night, but if I put a sleeping bag in


    there mum would have noticed¡± He murmurs. I nod my head when he pulls out his lunchbox.


    He unwraps his sandwich and hands it to me. ¡°Thanks¡± I tell him, taking it from him and biting into


    it. It has peanut butter on it.


    ¡°Mum is still pissed off?¡± I ask him and he sighs before nodding.


    ¡°I think you really pushed her too far this time, Luce. Mum had banned me from seeing you, says


    she doesn¡¯t want me bing corrupt like you¡± his words stung, but I know it wasn¡¯t his intention.


    ¡°Maybe go stay with Tyson and Ace till things calm down¡± He says.


    ¡°No, the river won¡¯t be so bad, she will forgive me eventually. That''s what mothers do¡± I say though


    my mother wasn¡¯t like normal mothers.


    ¡°Besides Ace has Mna there all the time, I can¡¯t stand her¡± I tell him biting into the sandwich.


    ¡°What are you going to do about blood, you can have some of mine but I know it won¡¯t taste too


    good¡± I shake my head.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I will just catch something¡± I told him though that didn¡¯t sound all that appealing. He nods


    before digging through his bag again. ¡°Here¡± He says, handing me some money. I shake my head


    trying to pass it back to him.


    ¡°No, keep it. I will be fine. I don¡¯t want your pocket money Rayan, I just wanted to see you¡± I told


    him.


    ¡°Just take it Luce, not like I will spend it anyway¡± He says dropping it in the bag when I refuse to


    take it from him.


    ¡°If I can get away from Jacob I will try to sneak out and bring you a blood bag and a few things¡± He


    tells me.


    ¡°Just don¡¯t get in trouble okay, I don¡¯t want you in trouble because of me¡± I tell him. He nods and


    cars start pulling into the carpark, parents waiting for their children. Rayan gets up and so do I.


    ¡°You better go before Jacob gets here, he will tell mum he saw you¡± He says hugging me and


    giving me a tight squeeze. I squeeze him back before grabbing the stic bag off the ground.


    ¡°I love you¡± I tell him.


    ¡°I love you more¡± He says walking back toward the school. I watch him cross the road and wait at


    the gate before I turn, rushing off through the street and heading back toward the river behind the


    packhouse. By the time I got back the sun was blocked by the trees as it slowly went down. I find a log


    and jam the bag in it before going in search of firewood again.


    ¡°You didn¡¯te over,¡± Ace¡¯s voice says, flitting through my head.


    ¡°Was busy¡± I lie.


    ¡°Come over now then, I want to see you¡± He tells me when suddenly Tyson joins the mindlink. I


    could feel it stretching before his voice appeared in my head along with Ace¡¯s.


    ¡°Come have dinner with us¡± Tyson tells me.


    ¡°No, I am good and I don¡¯t want to cause more drama. I wille see you soon though¡± I tell them,


    cutting off the mindlink before they could say anything else. I continue gathering firewood, before


    setting the wood inside the rocks I ced on the dirt. I get the fire going with a lighter I found inside the


    bag. I smile knowing Rayan stole it from Dad.


    When I am sure it isn¡¯t going to burn out I strip my clothes off, putting the new ones on in the bag. I


    walk over to the river washing the clothes I had on before hanging them over a low branch to dry.


    Once I am done, I go in search of blood, I was already ravenous and knew going too long would


    be not only ufortable but dangerous for anyone that happened to stumble into the woods.


    These woods were mainly free of humans, not many came this far out but on the off chance they did I


    had to be prepared for that. Picking up their scent would end badly if I go without too long.


    I try to remain close to my little camp, thest thing I needed was to burn the entire forest down,


    yeah mum may actually kill me for that. Maybe even my father.


    I pick up the aromatic scent of a deer. Following the scent, I found it was only a baby and couldn¡¯t


    bring myself to actually kill it as I watched it strip a patch of grass. I looked around before deciding to


    leave knowing its mother may be around. Maybe killing something was going to be harder than I


    thought as I slid over a fallen tree. My fire I could make out just through the trees, when movement


    caught my eye. Rabbits. Two of them next to the trunk of an old tree, I slowly crept up on them, their


    little ears twitching, listening for any movement when I pounce, grabbing one by its ears, the other


    darting off into a nearby log. I could hear its heart pounding, its little legs kicking wildly as its fearful


    eyes peered back at me.


    I grabbed the back of its neck holding it while it continued to kick. I felt bile rise in my throat at the


    thought of killing it. Damn I was a shit vampire. Getting emotional over killing a rabbit. I tried to will


    myself to kill it, giving myself a mental pep talk as I closed my eyes.


    ¡®Come on Lucy, it¡¯s just rabbit, just a cute fluffy terrified little rabbit¡¯ The mental pep talk did fuck all,


    if anything made me feel worse. I opened one eye peering at it, its little heart thumping in its chest


    frantically as I looked at it. I let out a breath before grabbing its kicking back legs and grabbing the back


    of its head. I feel my fangs slip from my gums, my saliva pooling in my mouth and I try to give over to


    my senses, let them take control but tears slip down my face as I sink my fangs into the furry little


    creature.


    It squeals, the sound breaking my heart as I drain the life from it, its kicking slowing before


    stopping all together and Iy the rabbit back on the ground, its blood running down my chin and I look


    to the log the other ran into, only to see it peering out. Its heart thumping loudly inside the log. I look


    away from it, did it know what I just did? I find myself wondering. There was not enough blood in its tiny


    body, yet I couldn¡¯t bring myself to kill the other one. Instead wiping my tears and heading back to the


    campfire. I could have cooked it, but the idea of skinning it grossed me out and would ruin my clothes,


    surely mum would open the minlink soon instead of keeping me blocked out and let mee


    home.

    Tyson POV


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    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.

    Chapter 13


    Lucy POV


    I had around two hours before the sun went down as I gathered firewood. I hadn¡¯t seen Rayan in


    days. After killing the rabbit, my bloodlust had be out of control and I was desperate for blood but


    also too scared to leave the river for fear of attacking someone. Ravenous wasn¡¯t even a strong


    enough word for how I felt I was on edge, like a drug addict going through withdrawal. I was also


    bing increasingly weaker and after having blood daily, to suddenly go cold turkey it was


    unbearable. I grew weak quickly, just looking for firewood was taking a toll on me and I grew tired fast. I


    never realised what an impact going without blood was like.


    Giving up, I sit against a tree leaning heavily against it. I close my eyes trying to catch my breath


    when I pick up a scent. The scent was filling my nostrils and a growl tears from my lips, the noise


    startling me as I looked around for what created the scent. I notice movement out of the corner of my


    eyes before seeing something dart between two trees, my eyes picking up the movement as I watch


    the rabbit scurry away. I feel my fangs protrude, sleeping from my gums slowly and painfully. My mouth


    ispletely dry and I crawl to my hands and knees.


    I suddenly get a burst of adrenaline fuelled by my hunger and dart after it. Moving quicker than I


    had in days as I snagged it in my grip. I sank my fangs into not even paying attention to where I bit it as


    it shrieked and thrashed before I realised I sank my teeth into its side. My canines ripping it to pieces


    as I kept trying to drain it, my senses taking over telling me to feed but not biting sessfully into any


    artery instead just bleeding it out as I tore it apart. I lick my fingers a moan escaping my lips when I


    hear a twig snap. I pivot spinning around a growl tearing from my lips. It was animalistic and guttural as


    I saw two ck wolves step into my path.


    One of them whines but all I could think about was the intoxicating aromaing from them, hear


    the blood pulsing through their veins and I lunge at one. I needed blood, that all I could think about as


    hunger enveloped me. I hear snapping at the same time I lunge at the one closest to me, the wolf


    stepping out of my way and off to the side when I feel something grab me. I thrash before the scent


    bes so strong and I turn biting into soft flesh. A moan escapes my lips as its blood floods into my


    mouth when I feel myself ripped away from them. Hands grabbing my arms, yanking me away and I


    growl beforeing face to face with Ace. Seeing him stunned me and I realised why the scent was


    familiar and intoxicating. Looking over my shoulder I realised I bit Tyson, blood running down his arm


    from his bicep.


    I attacked him. ¡°Lucy¡± Ace¡¯s voice says before I look back at him, yet the hunger doesn¡¯t leave,


    only gets worse knowing I was drinking their blood.


    ¡°Lucy wait¡± Ace says his gripping getting tighter when I moisture touch my lips Tyson scent wafting


    to my nose and I grab his wrist that was pressed to my lips, I sink my fangs into him but he doesn¡¯t pull


    away instead pulling me against him and Ace lets me go before I find myself sitting in hisp as he


    leans against a tree.


    ¡°Drink love¡± Tyson says, yet I don¡¯t think I could stop even if I wanted to, I could feel his blood


    getting weaker as he did when Ace suddenly bites his wrist before kneeling in front of me. I let Tyson¡¯s


    go grabbing his and Tyson pushes me forward into Ace who grabs me pulling me closer. My hunger


    finally calms down as I lean on Ace, his body warm and I feel myself rx against him. My fangs pull


    out of his wrist and I see Tyson leaning against the tree across from us watching me, his breathing


    hard.


    ¡°How long did you go without blood?¡± Ace asks.


    ¡°I just had a rabbit,¡± I tell him.


    ¡°No, I mean a blood bag Lucy¡±


    ¡°Since the boarding school¡± I tell them before I feel him brush my hair out of my face before tilting


    my face toward his.


    He presses his forehead against mine. ¡°Why didn¡¯t youe home, we would have taken care of


    you, instead we found out from Rayan, you have been staying out here¡± Ace says looking around as a


    growl escapes him.


    Panic courses through me, does that mean mum knows. ¡°Does mum know, did you tell her?¡± I ask


    worried she would be angrier. Tyson shakes his head.


    ¡°No, but you areing home with us, Lucy. You can¡¯t stay here¡± Tyson says standing up when I


    realise he is naked. My eyes trail down his muscr body before I tear my eyes away from him, my


    face heating when I realise I am sitting on Ace who is also naked. I jumped up, moving off him.


    ¡°Please shift¡± I tell them, realising what an awkward scenario this was. But also realising I was


    checking them out, I shouldn¡¯t be thinking this way about them, let alone checking them out, they


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    helped raise me.


    ¡°You¡¯reing home with us Lucy¡± Ace tells me before gripping my elbow.


    ¡°Ok but shift please¡± I tell him and he sighs but I hear his bones snapping before feeling fur brush


    my hand. I look beside me to see Atticus standing beside me. I brush his fur and he purrs rubbing his


    body against me. Tyson also shifts, the sun was nearly set and about half an hour it would be dark.


    Atticus nudges me and I shake my head.


    ¡°I¡¯m not a little girl anymore¡± I tell him as he tries to get me to climb on him. He jumps up putting his


    paws on my shoulders before licking my face. ¡°Down¡± I tell him and he growls but gets down. Tyrant


    brushing against the back of my legs.


    ¡°I don¡¯t need you to carry me, I can keep up¡± I tell them and Tyrant whines before darting off.


    Atticus nudged me, wanting me to follow Tyson¡¯s wolf. I roll my eyes before chasing after him. Atticus


    fell in line with me and remained with me until we hit a dirt road that joined onto the driveway leading


    home. I see Tyson¡¯s mustange into my vision before seeing him pull some shorts on, while


    standing next to his car. I slow down, eventuallying to a stop next to him.


    ¡°Come on, we should get back,¡± Tyson tells me, opening the back door.


    Acees over as I climb in the back grabbing the door as I go to close it.


    ¡°When we get home, we have something to tell you¡± He says before reaching down and cupping


    my cheek in his hand, I close my eyes, sparks rushing over my face and I lean into his touch, his hand


    warm as he brushes his thumb over my cheek.

 Chapter 14

    Chapter 14


    Getting to their packhouse, I growled when I saw Mna¡¯s car parked in the driveway. This is


    exactly why I didn¡¯t want toe here. I was not listening to the two go at it all night, the thought alone


    making my blood boil.


    ¡°What is she doing here?¡± Ace says before sighing.


    ¡°You best get rid of her Ace, I don¡¯t want her around the packhouse '''' Tyson tells him pulling in next


    to her car, the paint king off from where I squirted the brake fluid on her car. Great, now I need to


    listen to her bitching and moaning. Ace jumps out as soon as the car stops marching around to the


    front of the packhouse. I remain in the car and Tyson looks over the backseat at me.


    ¡°Come on Lucy¡± He says, opening his car door. I remained in my seat not wanting to go inside if


    Mna was staying. I much rather go to the river than listen to her all night.


    Tyson opens my car door before looking at me. ¡°Are youing, Lucy?¡± He asks and I shake my


    head ring at her car. ¡°Not if she is staying¡± I tell him and he sighs before looking toward the front of


    the house.


    ¡°Ace will make her leave, you don¡¯t need to worry about her¡± He says yet by the sound of her


    screeching at Ace, that may take awhile.


    ¡°Come inside¡± Tyson says and I huff, annoyed but get out anyway. Looking down the driveway


    toward the front of the house where I could hear Ace and Mna arguing. She was angry about


    something.


    Walking down the driveway they were arguing on the frontwn. Mna¡¯s face turns red as she


    screamed at him.


    ¡°What do you mean Ace? What, I am suddenly not good enough for you, I have been for thest


    five years¡± She screams at him.


    ¡°You knew this Mna, this was only fooling around. I made that crystal clear as if I would make


    you my Luna, you have a mate out there somewhere, we agreed this was nothing more then sex. Now


    leave please¡± Ace argues with her.


    ¡°Come Tyson '''' says tugging on my arm when Mna¡¯s eyes snap to me.


    ¡°You, this is all your fault, if you had of just stayed at school this never would have happened¡± She


    says turning to me.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    ¡°What are you talking about?¡± I ask her, stopping on the bottom step of the porch.


    ¡°Mna, time to go, now¡± Ace says, bing angry. His body starts to tremble and Tyson tries to


    pull me inside.


    ¡°No fuck you Ace, everything is always about her, I am fucking over it. 5 years and you toss me


    away like fucking garbage¡± She says.


    ¡°I told you so many times already, Mna this was nothing serious now time to go. Don¡¯t make me


    away when her hand suddenly connects with his face. His cheek turning red from her p, the noise


    loud as her palm connected with his cheek. The sight of her touching him was one thing but to see her


    hit him made my blood boil. I didn¡¯t understand my actions yet still couldn¡¯t control the burning hatred


    that swept over me before I attacked her.


    We both hit the ground in a heap as Inded on top of her before punching her in the face. She


    growls as her head whips to the side before punching me in the boob I grunt before she kicks me off


    and I fall to my side. Low blow I thought to myself before getting to my feet just as she shifts. Her brown


    patchy wolf lunges at me and I stumble back out of her way. Ace and Tyson rush toward us trying to


    break it up when she lunges again, though I was faster being more vampire than wolf and I kick her in


    the ribs, Her body hurtling into Ace¡¯s car that was parked on the grass, an outline of her body crinkling


    the door. Mna shakes out her fur before turning toward me about to attack when Atticus Ace¡¯s wolf


    jumps in her path. His teeth bared as he snaps her and she whimpers, baring her neck to him and


    Tyson grips my arm, ripping me toward the house and up the steps, when I see Atticus walk over


    to her sniffing her making me growl at him. I couldn¡¯t understand my sudden urge of jealousy at him


    being sdo near to her. Atticus growls at her and she darts off up the side of the house just as Tyson


    pulls me through the front door.


    ¡°Lucy enough, let Ace deal with her¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want hiom fucking near the whore¡± I yell at him struggling against his grip.


    ¡°Enough, Lucy. We have had enough drama today¡± Tyson says, pushing me onto the couch in the


    living room.


    I hear car tires screeching outside before hearing the sound of metal on metal making me jump.


    I could hear Ace has shifted back and was yelling at Mna, Tyson walks off quickly to the front


    door before I hear him use his Alpha voice. The screen door banging as he threw it open.


    ¡°Enough Mna leave or I will banish you¡± Tyson snaps at her, I shiver feeling his aura even


    inside. The revving of her car stops before I hear her leave.


    ¡°Was that fucking necessary Tyson¡± I hear Ace yell at Tyson.


    ¡°Well you weren¡¯t going to do it¡± Tyson tells him walking back inside.


    ¡°I said I would handle her, you had no right meddling in my rtionships¡± Ace snaps at him.


    ¡°She isn¡¯t yours, but hey you want her go right ahead Ace and mark her¡± Tyson tells him. My chest


    lurched at the thought of Ace making her, nausea filling my stomach at Tyson¡¯s words, I didn;t


    understand why it bothered me so much.


    ¡°I wanted things to end on good terms Tyson, not cause more conflict¡± Ace tells him.


    ¡°I warned you about this,Ace, now get inside so we can speak to Lucy¡± Tyson tells him. I hear Ace


    growl before hearing footsteps of him leaving.


    ¡°What about Lucy?¡± I hear Tyson call after him.


    ¡°We can deal with tomorrow, I need to fix this shit because you just made things fucking worse¡±


    Ace snaps at him.


    ¡°Fuck her Ace, she doesn¡¯t mean shit. Get inside, Mna can drop off the face of the earth for all I


    care¡± Tyson tells him. I got up not wanting to hear anymore and knowing Ace was leaving to go see


    Mna ticked me off.

 Chapter 15

    Chapter 15


    Walking down the hallway, I hear Tyson walk back inside but quickly rush to the bathroom. I lock


    the door before turning on the shower. Getting undressed, I hear Tyson knock on the bathroom door.


    ¡°Lucy, are you okay?¡± Tyson asks.


    ¡°Fine, just showering¡± I tell him, I was actually excited to use hot water, the river was freezing and


    you wanted to jump out as soon as you got in. ¡°I will grab you some clothes¡± Tyson says and I hear him


    walk off, his feet loud on the floorboards. I stepped in enjoying the hot water as it cascaded down my


    back before grabbing the soap. The tension in my body is loosening. I will never take hot water for


    granted again I thought to myself as the room steamed up, the scent of camomile soap filling the room.


    I wash myself before quickly washing my hair. I really needed to trim it, it was getting ridiculously


    long. I was brushing my fingers through it, trying to untangle it when the door opened, Tyson¡¯s mouth


    watering scent hitting my nose. I look over my shoulder to see him sit on the sink basin.


    ¡°Ah What are you doing and how did you get in?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°With a butter knife and I brought you clothes¡±


    ¡°Okay, you can leave now, little wrong don¡¯t you think¡±


    ¡°Why is it wrong?¡± He asks.


    ¡°You are my uncle¡± I tell him a little weirded out.


    ¡°Don¡¯t say that Lucy, you make me sound like a creep. We are not family, and in no way rted¡±


    He says, his words hurt, how am I not family to him when he practically helped raise me, do I mean


    nothing to him?


    ¡°Get out!¡± I tell him, my words are a little harsher than I intended.


    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t mean it like that Lucy¡± Tyson quickly says as I re at him.


    ¡°Then how else am I supposed to take it then Tyson¡± I tell him.


    ¡°I¡¯m just saying we aren''t rted, you mean more to me then family Lucy or are you to blind to


    notice?¡± He says making me look back at him.


    ¡°Huh?¡± I ask him, confused by his words.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t matter, it can wait till Acees back¡± He says, rubbing a hand down his face.


    ¡°Well if you aren¡¯t going to hop out can you at least find me a toothbrush, mine is still at the river¡± I


    tell him. He looks under the sink basin before pulling out a few boxes. He unwraps one from the


    packaging before opening the shower screen and handing it to me while I continue to keep my back to


    him. I start brushing my teeth and Tyson walks out closing the door and I let out a breath of relief, his


    scent was overwhelming in the steamed up room. When I am done I dry myself before slipping on the


    shirt Tyson brought in but there were no bottoms. The shirt fell to my mid thighs but I felt weird not


    wearing anything underneath it especially in a house with two men. I shrug nudity wasn¡¯t a big thing


    and I spent majority of my childhood naked in them stupid cells, rarely they gave us clothes and when


    they did it was only for transporting us.


    I wrap my hair in the towel before walking out. I could hear Tyson rummaging around in the kitchen


    and went to see what he was making. ¡°Ace still not back?¡± I ask him, leaning on the countertop,.


    ¡°Nope but he wants to hurry up, a huge storm cell ising over the city¡± He says looking out the


    window and I do too, the wind had picked up massively, the trees swaying in the wind and the palms


    trees out back bending under the pressure. I shiver, d I wasn¡¯t staying at the river tonight. I was


    good with storms but thunder, nope hated it the noise was so much louder being a mutation and I


    always freak out thinking the world was ending by the deafening noise.


    ¡°Hopefully no thunder¡± I tell him staring out the window.


    ¡°You''re still scared of storms?¡± he chuckles.


    ¡°No just the thunder¡± I tell him and he smiles.


    ¡°Homemade pizza?¡± He asks, I nod.


    ¡°Want some help?¡± I ask moving around the other side of the counter. He nods, grabbing out


    another chopping board before handing me a capsican and knife.


    We cooked dinner and ate it, but by 9PM, Ace still wasn¡¯t home when I felt the mindlink open up.


    Ace''s voice flitting through mine and Tyson¡¯s head as I feel him merge both links.


    ¡°I am staying at Jacobs tonight, I am not running home in this¡± He says.


    ¡°The other issue?¡¯ Tyspon asks him and I nce at him sitting on the lounge beside me.


    ¡°Dealt with it won¡¯t be an issue any more¡± Ace tells him.


    ¡°Good¡± Tyson says, cutting off the link and shoving his brother out of our heads.


    ¡°How did you do that?¡± I tell him feeling him shove Ace out mine too.


    ¡°Alpha genes¡± He answers and I turn back to the TV show we were watching. Halfway through the


    night, I must have drifted off, waking to the sound of thunder. The House waspletely dark and


    Tyson had chucked a nket over me. The wind outside was howling louding as it whistled through the


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    trees, lightning striking the sky and lighting up the inside of the house. I flick the TV back on trying to


    drown out the noise so I can go back to sleep. This was the worst storm I had seen in ages.


    Avalon City hardly had storms especially with so many elemental witches in the city who could


    control the weather. Here though waspletely different, and I didn¡¯t have my meds to knock me out


    either which is what I usually did when we did get the asional storm. I left my meds in Jacobs car in


    my suitcase, and hadn¡¯t seen the doctor since returning.


    Getting up, I walk into the kitchen to get a drink. Goosebumps rising on my arms because of the


    storm as I fought the urge to shiver when thunder cracks loudly. Walking back to the living room I stop


    in the hall looking up the dark hallway. Tyson¡¯s bedroom door was open and I argued with myself


    whether it would be weird if I slept in his room with him. He is an adult now and might be creeped out if


    I try hopping in his bed like I used to do when I was kid. He had no problems walking in on me in the


    shower so instead I decided to walk down the hallway. The thunder made me jump and I darted off into


    his room, my heart pounding in my chest.


    Walking over to the side of his bed I tap on his shoulder thinking it best to ask then have freak out


    and find me next to him. I shake his shoulder and he rolls over sleepily staring up at me. He then


    moves over before tossing the nket back.


    ¡°Hurry up then scaredy cat¡± He says and I climb in beside him. He moves over a little before


    tugging the nket up around me and draping his arm across my waist. I rx against him, his scent


    soothing as I snuggle against him. I could feel his breath against my neck as he fell back to sleep, his


    breathing evening out. My skin tingling where his skin was touching mine, making me wonder if he felt


    the weird sensation or if it was just me, it felt foreign and I never got that tingling sensation from anyone


    else except Ace, I wasn¡¯t sure if I liked the sensation, but eventually I fall asleep feeling safe with


    Tyson¡¯s warm skin pressed against mine.

    Ace¡¯s POV


    Mna wasn¡¯t having it, nothing I said to her was making her see reason. I told her plenty of times


    this was just fooling around yet the hurt look she continued to give me as I stood in her kitchen showed


    me how much I truly fucked up. She clearly didn¡¯t see this as fooling around and thought something


    more than what I would ever give her, making me wish I listened to Tyson.


    Mna''s tear stricken face made me feel like a piece of shit. ¡°Is this because Lucy came back? I


    don¡¯t get it Ace everything was fine until she returned¡± Mna cries. I look away from her. Her wolf was


    shining through and I could tell even she was hurt but Mna is not my mate, Lucy is.


    ¡°Are you going to answer, if it is let me speak to her, I know we haven''t always got along, but


    maybe if I talk to her things won¡¯t feel awkward. I know she is meant to be staying with you for awhile¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that, Mna, this was never going to work. I told you this so many times, you were never


    going to be my Luna¡± I tell her and she starts crying even more. Great, now I feel like a dick. Ah god


    why won¡¯t she stop crying, I don¡¯t do tears. I just wanted to bail now.


    ¡°I can make friends with Lucy, I know she is family Ace¡± Mna says, how has she not figured it


    out yet, it has nothing to do with Lucy staying at our house, Mna just isn¡¯t my mate.


    ¡°Just stop Mna, it has nothing to do with Lucy being your friend or not or you not getting along


    with her¡± I tell her.


    ¡°Then what, because you were fine till she showed up?¡± Mna yells at me.


    ¡°Is it because of Tyson not liking me?¡± She asks stepping closer but I step away from her, I could


    see the hurt in her eyes at my actions.


    ¡°Lucy is my mate, Mna¡± I tell her, getting it over with she will find out sooner orter. Better if it


    tracks.


    ¡°What, since when?¡± She says outraged. It was clear she didn¡¯t expect that answer.


    ¡°Since I turned 17, I have known for years, Mna. Why do you think I kept telling you this would


    never be anything more?¡±


    ¡°Wait so I was just around to kill the fucking time while you waited for her to what? Grow up, you


    fucking prick¡± She had a point and there was no easy way to say it but she is correct.


    ¡°Well, yeah¡± I admit, looking away from her.


    ¡°You knew all this fucking time?¡± She screams so loudly I had to fight the urge to cover my ears,


    her voice making them ring.


    ¡°I should have told you earlier, I was nning to but I didn¡¯t think she woulde back early from


    school¡± I tell her. Mna startsughing, shaking her head.


    ¡°Now I know why everytime she came back from school you would suddenly disappear, and I


    couldn¡¯t get ahold of you unless I showed up, you are a real piece of shit Ace, I hope she fucking


    rejects you¡± Mna says.


    ¡°You have a mate out there Mna, don¡¯t act so surprised I would pick mine over you¡± She snorts


    shaking her headughing. ¡°This is just fucking great, you son of a bitch. I fucking rejected mine for


    you, you fucking asshole¡± She says before shoving me.


    ¡°You did what?¡± I ask, a little shocked by her words.


    ¡°I found minest year you prick, I rejected him for you. What a waste of fucking time that was¡±


    She screams at me. I didn¡¯t know what to say to that, there was no way in hell I would reject a fated


    mate for anyone. Yet Mna did for me.


    ¡°I never asked you to do that Mna, why would you do that?¡± I asked baffled, how could she, the


    thought disgusted me, if I had known I would have told her to go be with him.


    ¡°Because I love you, that¡¯s why. He was a stranger, I barely knew him, I thought I knew clearly


    read that fucking wrong¡± She tells me. I swallow now feeling ten times worse.


    ¡°I need to go¡± I tell her, nothing was going to fix this, so I just needed to get out.


    ¡°Sure fine Ace, run back to your fucking slut of a mate¡± She growls at me and I stop.


    Atticus wing at me and pressing forward at her words enraged she would call Lucy that.


    ¡°What did you say?¡±


    ¡°You heard me, you want to run along after someone that screwing her teacher go ahead, good


    luck with that¡±


    ¡°Lucy is a virgin, Mna, don''t be calling her names just because you can¡¯t handle the thought of


    her being your Luna¡± I tell her forcing Atticus down, he wanted to rip her apart, kill her for saying


    something so vile about Lucy.


    Mnaughs, ¡°Sure believe what you want, Josey told me what she saw, believe what you want


    about innocent little Lucy, she was the fucking her science teacher, clearly she couldn¡¯t handle it when


    he broke it off with her so burnt the ss down¡± Mna chuckles.


    ¡°You¡¯re pathetic, go on run along back to your mate¡±


    ¡°Josey is wrong, Lucy would never do that¡± I tell her walking toward the door of her apartment.


    ¡°My sister isn¡¯t a liar Ace, she caught Lucy leaving from his ss half naked. A weekter his


    ssroom was burnt down because he found his mate, think what you want if makes you sleep better


    at night, but doesn¡¯t change the fact that she is fucking whore¡± Mna says, Atticus growls and I force


    myself out of the apartment before he kills her, I hurt enough her already, I don¡¯t need Atticus doing


    more damage over some lies Josey told her.


    Walking out of the apartmentplex though I couldn¡¯t get her words out of my head, is that why


    she burnt the ssroom down because he found his mate, I just couldn¡¯t picture Lucy sleeping with her


    teacher, yet her words had me questioning how much I really knew Lucy, she had changed over the


    belting down with rain, the wind so bad it was making the trees bend as I stepped onto the main drag of


    the city. Fuck, I can¡¯t run home in this. Looking around, I try to see a cab before remembering Jacob


    lives near here.


    I open the mindlink before feeling him be alert. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±


    ¡°You home bro?¡±


    ¡°Yep, I am not going anywhere in this storm¡± he replies.


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Good, because I am staying with you tonight, I am stuck in the city¡± I tell him walking down the


    street in the direction of his apartment.


    ¡°Okay, I will buzz you in, see you soon¡± He says, cutting off the link. I then Mindlink Tyson and


    Lucy, to let them know. In a way I was d I was staying at Jacobs. The thought of seeing her after


    what Mna just told me had Atticus hackled up and on the verge of exploding. I needed him to be


    calm before I asked her anything about her teacher. I also needed to find out who the fuck her teacher


    was, he shouldn¡¯t be allowed to teach if he is taking advantage of his students. Avery and Aamon


    would want to know of any misconduct, but the longer I walked to Jacobs the more it made sense, she


    had to have been screwing him, maybe that is why she was so upset that she would burn down his


    ss, just like Mna, jealousy does some pretty horrid things to people.

    Lucy POV


    Waking up the storm had cleared and the sun was beaming in through Tyson''s bedroom window,


    lighting up the back of my eyelids making me squint as I put up my hand to shield my eyes from the


    blinding light.


    Sitting up, I found Tyson was still asleep but we had both shifted in our sleep and wasying half


    on him, my head on his chest and arm across his waist, my skin tingling wherever his skin was


    connected with mine. I pulled my leg off his waist embarrassed at the position I awoke in, only for him


    to grab my leg and bring it back across his waist.


    "Stay" Tyson mumbles, pulling me back to him by my shoulders with the arm of his I wasying on.


    He pats his chest and Iy back down, he turns his face, his nose going into my hair as he inhales my


    scent.


    "Right where you belong," Tyson says, kissing my forehead.


    "Where I belong?" I ask at his half asleep ramblings, he chuckles softly.


    "Yes Lucy, you belong with-"


    "I''m back, where are you both at?" Ace suddenly yells out from the front of the house making


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Tyson stop whatever he was going to say before I hear Ace walking down the hallway. Tyson growls


    making me look up at him


    "Lucy, Tyson, where are you both?" Ace calls out.


    "In here" Tyson calls back to him before sighing. Ace leans on the door frame before folding his


    arms across his chest and ring at Tyson.


    "Why is she in here?" I sat up at his words realising how indecent it was for me to be in here.


    "Lucy?" Tyson says as I pull away from him, adjusting his shirt that had risen up and I toss the


    nket back before realising I still didn¡¯t have panties on, I try pull his shirt down to try to cover my


    nakedness underneath the shirt.


    "Why do you gotta be a dick for?" Tyson asks Ace as I get out of his bed, suddenly feeling


    ashamed for being in here. What woman is scared of storms? I mentally scold myself, it wasn¡¯t the


    storms itself it was the noise they created, deafening and always brought back terrible memories of the


    facility in which I was kept, nothing worse than being locked in a ss cell during a storm, the


    vibrations alone would send you mad, then the rain seeping in through the cracks in the concrete floor


    above always made me feel like a goldfish in its tank, only I can¡¯t breathe under water.


    "Lucy you don''t have to leave" Tyson says sitting up and tossing the nket back as he too got to


    his feet. I go to walk to the door when Ace steps in my path making me look up at him, he looked


    incredibly irritated with me for some unknown reason making me nervous with the way red at me.


    "Morning" I tell him awkwardly.


    I didn''t understand why he was ring at me, or the disgusted look he gave me. We were only


    sleeping, nothing indecent was going on.


    "You lied to us, Josey told Mna what you did" Ace says, making me furrow my brows in


    confusion. Josey? What did Josey say that would upset him this much? I wondered.


    "What do you mean, Josey is at school still"


    "She told me why you burnt the ssroom down, you lied to us" I feel my stomach drop, I hadn¡¯t


    told anyone, and I know I never told Josey, she became distant and hardly had anything to do with me


    thest couple of weeks of school, always making excuses about being to busy with her studies to


    hang out, making that boarding school even more lonely for me, we used to be joined at the hip.


    "Because anything Mna says can be taken as truth" Tyson growls at him.


    "Well it didn''t take her long to climb in bed with you now, did it. Shows what sort of person she is, I


    honestly expected better of you lucy" Ace growls at Tyson.


    "What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Tyson snaps at him. Yet I was growing more confused,


    wondering what Mna said. I barely had a chance to speak to Josey before they turfed me out, so


    what could she have said to her sister about me, she knows Mna and I don¡¯t get along and Josey


    wasn¡¯t one to gossip.


    "Just that she had no problems fucking her teacher, and now she is bed with you, how could you?"


    Ace says turning to look at me and I take a step away from him.


    "She said I did what?" I ask, unable to believe what just came out of his mouth.


    "Are you going to tell him, or am I"


    "Tell him what? I never slept with anybody, I told you I was a virgin. How could you say such a


    thing?" I yell at him. Hot tears burning my eyes at his words.


    "Josey saw you leaving his ssroom half naked Lucy, deny it all you want but I know what


    happened.


    Now I know why you didn¡¯t want to admit guilt for what you did. Then you burned his ss room


    because he found his mate and tossed you aside" Ace says, pointing his finger at me. While I was


    mortified that Josey could say that, that was far from the truth. Why would she say such a thing, why


    wouldn¡¯t she ask me, no one ever wants to hear my side.


    "Lucy, is what he is saying true?" Tyson asks, making me look back at him.


    "So because that''s what Josey says, it means it is true?" I ask him.


    "Why would she lie, she is your bestfriend is she not?" Ace says, I can''t believe this shit, he was


    the one that attacked me yet I am being med.


    "You know what? fuck you" I tell Ace. This is exactly why I never told anyone. Why should I have to


    prove anything to anyone, this right here is exactly why girls don''te forward and no one believes


    them. It bes the victim having to defend themselves against the perpetrator. Never in my life have


    I been made to feel more disgusting than right now, I could deal with what he tried to do, I can''t live with


    being med for it.


    Ace still doesn''t move and even pushes me back when I try to walk around him. "Is it true Lucy?"


    Tyson asks behind me, making me look over my shoulder at him. I feel tears brim and spill over that


    they would think that little of me to sleep with a teacher. That they would take the word of another over


    me.


    "Believe what you want you will anyway" I tell him before shoving past Ace and heading to the


    bathroom.

    Lucy POV


    Walking into the bathroom, I grab the pants I had on yesterday, pulling them on, they were slightly


    damp from the floor being wet, the room chilly from the tiles and the window being cracked open.


    I then grab my jumper tugging it over my head and pull my hair into a ponytail, with my hair tie from


    my wrist. That day reying in my head on repeat. The smell of his cologne, the weird prickling


    sensation of my hair standing on end when I realised his intentions, the fear that paralysed, making me


    freeze up, while I tried to figure out what I did that would make him do this to me, that sense of dread,


    the coldest feeling in world before I feel my breathing be shorter. I clutch at my throat trying to


    catch my breath as I start to hyperventte, fear gripping me in it confines suffocating me excruciatingly


    slowly.


    I needed my pills, needed something so I could breathe, yet it became harder and harder to catch


    my breath, my vision blurring with my panic from my inability to calm myself before my vision goes dark


    and I know I am falling, falling into the depths of my tortured memories. My body hit the tiles with a thud


    yet I couldn''t feel pain, felt nothing, I couldn''t feel anything when I am pulled back to that fateful day.


    Watching my own torment like it is a movie, like it happened to someone else only I recognised the girl


    in it because she was me.


    shback


    I used to like Mr Tanner, how foolish and blinded I was thinking he was one of the cool teachers at


    school. He had busted me and Josey ditching ss multiple times and always stuck up for us, caught


    us smoking weed in the bathrooms and still defended us to the principal.


    We thought he was one of the good ones, easy going, friendly, always willing to bail us both out


    when we got ourselves in trouble. If only I had known there was a price for it, if only I had known what


    he really was, if only I never closed that ssroom door. He was a predator and we were to blind to see


    we were his prey.


    "Lucy, can I have a word with you for a second?" I heard Mr Tanner''s voice sound behind me as I


    packed up my school equipment.


    Josey pauses at the door looking at me. "I just need a word with her, Josey. Go to your next ss,


    she will be there soon" Mr Tanner says to her. She smiles before nodding.


    "I will see you in ss then" Josey says before walking out the door. I zip my bag up after dumping


    my pencil case in it.


    T then grab the strap and toss my bag over my shoulder, just as I was walking to the front of the


    ssroom to see what he wanted, Mr Tanner speaks.


    "Shut the door Lucy" he says and I furrow my brows but do as he says not thinking anything of it, it


    was Mr Tanner he was our friend, why shouldn''t I trust him? Not trusting him never once urred to


    me.


    "Pull the blind down too" he says, making me look over my shoulder at him.


    "Pardon Sir?" I ask confused when he suddenly mists before reappearing right beside me.


    "I said pull the blind down Lucy" he says, before I hear the lock on the door click. I see him pull his


    hand back, making me gulp.


    Fear coursing through me as I stared at him. "The blind Lucy" he repeats and I look at the little


    blind on the door that would cover the ss.


    "I should go, I am going to bete for ss" I tell him,bing ufortable. I reach for the door


    handle only his hand grips it.


    "I told you I need to speak to you, now pull down the blind" he says before smiling at me. Terror


    makes my blood run cold, Mr Tanner was a demon, not just in a sense but an actual demon, just like


    Aamon. Demon''s were perceived as bad but most weren''t, but Mr Tanner was, his eyes flickering ck


    and I see my own fear filled face reflect back at me.


    I didn''t want to close the blind, yet fear made me do it as my shaking hand gripped the cord


    tugging it down. His hand is still on the door knob, and my entire body starts to shake, my stomach


    sinking when he moves his face closer to mine.


    "That wasn''t so hard was it?" He says before leaning back. "Come, I want to show you something"


    he says smiling and waving me forward as he walks back toward his desk. He picks up some papers


    and feel relief flooding me. I was being irrational. He just wanted to show me some homework, I


    thought trying to push the unease away when I saw him return to his normally bubbly self, making me


    wonder if I just imagined it. I let out a breath walking over to him as he stacked the papers in a pile.


    "You ok Lucy?" He asks and I chuckle.


    "Yes sorry, I am not sure what came over me" I tell him shaking my head and approaching his


    desk.


    "Is it about the assignment due on Friday?" I ask, recognising the papers on his desk. He grabs


    them, dropping them in the drawer under his desk before closing it. He then moves hisptop, putting it


    on the table beside the desk which I thought was odd as I watched him clear his desk without saying


    anything. He then pats his desk with his hand.


    "What did you want to show me?" I ask him, when I feel his hand run up my thigh and under my


    skirt.


    I jerk away from him and his eyes flicker.


    "I should go" I tell him, stepping back only for him to vanish in thin air before feeling his breath on


    the back of my neck and I knew he was behind me, knew my first instinct was right.


    The hair on the back of my neck stood up,his cold breath making me break out in a cold sweat,


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    that chilled me to the bone. Leaving me paralysed in my own fear, I couldn''t move, I waspletely


    frozen.


    The room was so quiet the only thing I could hear was my own heartbeat and my shaky breath


    along with that stupid song ying softly from the PA system in the halls. I felt his hands grip me,


    shoving me toward the desk as he tried to bend me over it, only then something snapped in me as I


    tried to struggle to get out from under him, my face jammed against the cold wooden desk as I


    thrashed trying to get out of his grip. His knees pressed between mine forcing my legs open as he


    started ripping at my clothes.


    My underwear ripping from my body painfully, his nails digging into my face as his hand pinned my


    head to the table. The smell of burnt almonds permeated around me. My vision blurs with my tears as I


    beg him to stop. I feel my bra strap snap the back of my shirt being ripped open as it falls down my


    arms. I try pushing off the table with my hands only to be forced back down before feeling something


    hard hit the back of my head. My teeth bite into my tongue from the force as the room spins violently,


    my head pounding and my ears start ringing as I w frantically at the desk.


    My fingerse in contact with something ss that was wet and I turn just enough smashing the


    ss on him yet, he doesn''t stop as he pushes my skirt up. His hand going to my mouth, his thumb


    pinching my nose making it difficult to breathe.


    I feel his cock press against my ass and thigh, panic coursing through me and I try reach behind


    me, wing at anything I could trying to keep him away when he grips my hair ripping my head back


    before mming it into the desk, my head bouncing off the wood making me see ck for a second.


    But his grip waivers and manage to turn, kicking my legs trying to reach hisptop on the small table


    beside his desk. My fingertips grazed it as I struggled to keep him back before he pins my legs to the


    desk just as I grip theptop. I swing it, smacking him in the side of the head.


    Making him clutch his face, that momentary distraction enough as I jump off the desk racing for the


    door.


    I didn''t get far before he misted In front of me, Adrenaline coursing through me, I was so close so


    close to the door. He grabs my arms, ripping me toward him, my hands going to his face as I dig my


    thumbs into his eye sockets, feeling the goeyness of his eyes making him let go as he clutches his


    eyes screaming. I shove past him thumbling with the door lock before getting it open and I ran, not


    looking back as I ran from the door, ran from him.


    "Lucy?" I hear a muffled voice.

 Chapter 19

    Chapter 19


    "Lucy open the goddamn door and stop ignoring us" Ace yells, snapping me to my surroundings.


    My hair sticking to my face as I broke out in a cold sweat, goosebumps covering my arms.


    I was on the cold grey tiled floor. I shakily get to my feet before trying topose myself, trying to


    convince myself they weren''t my memories as I shove them away, back in my box locking it away


    where it can;t get me. I open the door to find Ace and Tyson in the hallway. Ace looked livid while


    Tyson looked concerned standing behind him. Ace towering over me as he red down at me, taking


    up nearly the entire door frame.


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "Lucye here" Tyson says, waving his hands forward wanting me to go to him. I was tempted


    until Ace spoke, his arm blocking the doorway when I tried to move through it effectively blocking me. I


    look up at him. I only reached up to his chest as he stared down at me intimidatingly.


    "Exin, you hate me being with Mna yet we are supposed to be ok with you lying to us and


    sleeping with your teacher, A FUCKING TEACHER?" He screams at me.


    "I never lied, now move so I can leave Ace '''' I tell him, bing sick and tired of the usations,


    everyone always pointing the finger at me, haven''t they realised by now I usually own up to the shit I


    do, but that, I won''t own that because that isn''t me. It''s amazing how carefree and blinded you are until


    something like that destroys your world, turning everything on its axis, showing you with brutal rity


    how easily you can be destroyed, how vulnerable you can be. The shame thates with it, the


    what ifs, the guilt when you realise how powerless you are shoving the me inward. I question every


    action, every word I ever say now, wondering if I somehow asked for it, I didn''t need others doing the


    questioning and using me for something I never dreamt could happen.


    In the facility they broke our bodies, killed my wolf. But it is nothingpared to breaking your own


    tormented mind, sharp edges pricking and slicing at your memories constantly waiting for something to


    trigger it back to the forefront of your mind. The anxiety thates with trying not to remember when it


    does, certain scents, certain noises, shit even in my Adrenaline filled fear, I still remember the song


    tortured, looming over you a tearing at you piece by piece until there is nothing left but hopelessness


    and despair, a longing for who you used to be before your world turned upside down.


    "No, not until you tell me who it is, I want to know who my mate was fooling around with. Youe


    home and attack Mna when you are just as bad, shit not even I fucked my teachers Lucy, have you


    no limits" Ace snaps at me.


    Yet I was stuck on one word, one word that is supposed to signify your other half, signify safety,


    mate.


    "What did you just say?" I asked him, needing him to repeat it, surely I didn''t imagine it.


    "You heard me Lucy, now tell me who he is, I won''t have our mate lying to us now tell me?" Ace


    screams at me.


    "I never slept with my teacher"- I try to tell him when he cuts me off, he grabs my arms ripping me


    closer to him and I finally realise what the sparks are, why I got them when they touched me but that


    just infuriated me, if this what mates are I wanted no part of it. You don¡¯t dere someone to be your


    mate, then hurt them.


    "Don''t fucking lie to me" he screams, his ws sinking into my arms as his canines elongated, his


    face twisting in his anger. Tyson grabs him only for Ace to move quickly elbowing him in the face.


    Tyson¡¯s blood from his busted nose spraying across my face while Ace was on the verge of shifting, his


    entire body trembling in rage.


    "I never fucked him, Ace"- but yet again he cuts me off, he growls at me, his grip tightening and I


    lift my hands shoving him with all my strength making him stumble backwards.


    He smacks into Tyson and I run for the door, only for him to try to grab me.


    His arm snaking around my waist as he jerks me backwards but I throw my head back, feeling it


    connect with his jaw. He grunts and I turn on him, my fangs slipping from my gums as my vision turns


    red.


    "I never slept with my teacher you mutt, he tried to rape me" I scream at him as he regains himself.


    Tyson shoves him off trapped beneath him.


    While Ace just stared at me. My breathing heavy as hot tears of anger rolled down my cheeks "I


    never asked for it, never seduced him you sick bastard, that''s why I burnt his ssroom down, that''s


    why they kicked me out of school, not because I was a disobedient bitch like you think but because I


    had pedophile for a teacher, but thanks you truly showed me how little you think of me, what a great


    mate you will be" I tell him before gripping the front of his shirt and shoving him back on the ground as


    he tried to stand.


    "Lucy no!" Tyson yells trying to get to his feet.


    "I Lucy Anneliese ck reject you Ace Kasen ck Alpha of the ckmoon pack" I tell him.


    Ace growls and I shove him back letting go of his shirt, my chest heaving painfully as I feel


    something within me falter. My heart aching and thumping rapidly when Ace suddenly lunges at me, I


    try to step back, instead falling and hitting the floorboards as he tackles mending heavily on me.


    "I Ace Kasen ck reject your rejection" he growls before sinking his fangs into my neck. I


    scream, feeling his teeth tear through my skin, his canines embedded in my flesh hitting bone when he


    is suddenly ripped off me, his teeth tearing from my neck painfully. I clutch my neck trying to get to my


    feet when I feel the bond snap into ce, the room tilting as I try to hold myself up using the wall before


    suddenly seeing the floor rush toward my face, my eyes rolling in the back of my head before being


    swallowed by darkness.

    Chapter 20


    Tyson POV


    She rejected him, and Ace blinded by his own egounched himself at her, knocking her down


    before rejecting her rejection. Tyrant pressing beneath my skin as he watches him attack her, forcing


    me to my feet. I try to get him off her when he sinks his teeth into her neck. I grab him, ripping him off


    her, her scream making me enraged and I punch him.


    He growls at me, but he just fucking hurt her. He hurt her. He took her choice, this was never


    meant to go down like this, she was never meant to find out like this and he ruined everything making


    me hate him for it. Ace tackles me, mming me into the wall, I punch him in the ribs making him grunt


    letting Tyrant forward to help me shove him off.


    Tyrant wanted to kill him, we epted the fact we had to share her, but I was not epting of


    what he did, as I repeatedly rained blow after blow down on him. How could he, she is our mate, how


    could he hurt her like that?


    Hearing her gasp, I looked up to see she had got to her feet, she sways clutching her neck where


    his mark nowy on her delicate flesh. I watch as her eyes roll into the back of her head and I try to


    reach her before she hits the floor when Ace grips my ankle, ripping me back and making me fall face


    first on the floorboards. I turned using my other foot to kick him in the face, making his head snap back


    as he clutched his bleeding face. I hear the sound of her body hitting the floor with a hard thud, the


    sound of her head bouncing off the hard floor.


    ¡°Lucy!¡± I gasp rushing over to her, her head bleeding where she hit the corner of the wall and


    spilling onto the floor. I turn her over pulling her into myp and Acees over still in a rage as he


    goes to grab me before stopping as he peered down at her bleeding everywhere, she was healing but


    damn that gash was deep, her blood smeared down the wall and all over my legs and chest. I re up


    at him.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to¡± He gasps, reaching for her but I pull her away from him and tuck her against my


    chest, her bodypletely limp in my arms. I watch as he swallows, his Adam''s apple boobing in his


    throat.


    ¡°She shouldn¡¯t have rejected me¡± He states looking away and tossing the me on her. I growl at


    him. Is that all he has to say, all he can think about after what she said.


    ¡°You selfish prick¡± I tell him and his head whips back to me while I re daggers at him.


    ¡°She fucking rejected me! What else was I supposed to do¡± he screams at me.


    ¡°Not take her fucking choice, how could you after what she said, how the fuck could you believe


    Mna over her, you don¡¯t deserve her¡± I tell him. He growls, stepping toward me, his eyes falling on


    her for a second and pauses.


    ¡°Get out!¡± I tell him, I was disgusted with him. He was just as bad as her teacher. He doesn¡¯t move.


    ¡°You don¡¯t mean that, you are just angry¡± Ace says.


    ¡°I fucking mean it, get the fuck out of here before I ring Ryker and have him remove you¡± I tell him.


    ¡°She isn¡¯t just your mate, Tyson¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right, but I wonder what Ryker and Reika will say when they find out you forcefully marked


    her, she just told us she was nearly raped and then you go and take her choice, you are just as vile as


    him¡± I tell him.


    ¡°I am nothing like him,¡± Ace screams.


    ¡°No because taking her choice wasn¡¯t something he did, you are right though, you aren¡¯t like him,


    what you did was worse because she is our mate, ours Ace, ours to keep safe and you just showed her


    you don¡¯t care for what she wants if it goes against what you want, luckily she escaped him, but now


    she can¡¯t escape you¡± I tell him before pushing my arms underneath her limp body and scooping her


    up.


    ¡°Get out, I don¡¯t want you here when she wakes up¡± I tell him before stepping past him and


    heading back to my room. I kick the door shut before cing her on the bed. I hear something break


    before hearing the front door m as he leaves. Walking into the bathroom attached to my room, I wet


    a cloth before walking back out to her to clean her up, wiping the blood from her face and neck, she


    stirs but doesn¡¯t wake.


    I open the mindlink searching for my brother. Ryker opens it allowing it to connect.


    ¡°Busy Tyson, can¡¯t talk now¡± He says about to cut the link off.


    ¡°It¡¯s about Lucy¡± I tell him and hesitates before opening the linkpletely.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    ¡°You need to get a hold of Avery and Aamon¡±


    ¡°They won¡¯t let her back in Tyson, she blew her chances I already tried¡± Ryker tells me.


    ¡°She is never going back, it has nothing to do with her wanting to go back to school Ryker, can you


    ¡°I am in a meeting, it will have to wait¡±


    ¡°Cancel it¡± I tell him.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± He asks and it bes startlingly clear to me, that not one person who is


    supposed to care for ever asked her why she did it. I felt like a fool for not questioning it myself, not


    demanding an answer from her. Lucy would never endanger other people, her pranks had a limit, but I


    never bothered to ask.


    ¡°Did you ever ask her, did Reika ever ask her why she burnt that ssroom down¡± I ask him and


    he pauses.


    ¡°Tyson, I know she has problems with the students, but that doesn¡¯t give her the right to damage


    school property¡± Ryker says.


    ¡°You may just change your mind on that, it was never to do with her not liking school, juste


    over I will exin¡±


    ¡°Exin what? Nothing you say will change the fact she burnt down a ssroom Tyson, you


    always defend her actions instead of letting her own up to her mistakes. I wille see you after work¡±


    ¡°You know she was homeless right? She was living in the forest until I found her yesterday. I


    thought she was at home until Rayan told me he had been sneaking out to see her. For once just


    bloody do as I ask¡± I tell him.


    ¡°I thought she was staying at your house?¡± Ryker says.


    ¡°No, and you would have known if you hadn¡¯t kept blocking us out.


    I only found out because I picked up Rayan from school¡±


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Fine, I will be over when the meeting is over. I am having issues with Alpha Jamie¡± Ryker says.


    ¡°Fine but bring Aamon with you, he needs to know this¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Whatever it is I can handle it Tyson, I am not going to pull him from work because Lucy wants to


    go back to school when I already know the answer¡±


    ¡°Lucy is not going back to school, nor is she leaving my side. Just get Aamon here or Avery. I don¡¯t


    care which one¡± I tell him.


    ¡°You are being a pain in my ass, just spit it out Tyson so I can get back to work¡± He snaps at me


    through the link. I wanted Lucy to tell them, this wasn¡¯t my ce to tell them, not my secret but now I


    was wondering if I had no choice, none of them were going to take her seriously.


    ¡°Her teacher tried to rape her, that¡¯s why she burnt the ssroom down¡± I tell him. He growls the


    mindlink vibrating dangerously almost cutting off.


    ¡°What did you just say?¡± He growls.


    ¡°He tried to rape her¡± I repeat, feeling sick just saying those words. No wonder she changed, no


    wonder she became distant.


    ¡°I¡¯m on my way¡± He says, cutting off the link. I refocus on the room and look down at my mate


    passed out on the bed. Getting up, I grab one of my shirts from the drawer before pulling her jumper


    off, leaving her in her singlet before pulling my shirt over her head. I then walk the bloodsoaked jumper


    into theundry before chucking it on the washing machine. Just as I turn around, Aamon mists into my


    hallway, scaring the crap out of me.


    ¡°Ryker said toe here, some urgent?¡± He says looking around. The smell of burnt almonds


    flooding my senses and I scrunch up my nose when I hear a car speeding up the long driveway before


    skidding to a stop.


    ¡°And that would be Ryker,¡± Aamon says, walking to the front of the house.


    I follow Aamon, Ryker stomping up the porch steps before nearly ripping the door from the hinges


    as he ripped it open. ¡°Where is she?¡± he says and Aamon looks at him confused.


    ¡°She is asleep, Ace marked her¡± I tell him and he opens his mouth before closing it.


    ¡°She figured out she was your mate?¡± He asks.


    ¡°Nope, they had an argument and Ace blurted it out, he marked her when she rejected him¡± I tell


    him, he growls his eyes flickering dangerously as his canines protrude, good Ace deserves what is


    <ping to him.

 Chapter 21

    Chapter 21


    Lucy POV


    I awoke to the sound of voices, my head was pounding and my neck stinging. Groaning, I get up


    rubbing my eyes as I swing my legs over the side of the bed. I find myself in Tyson¡¯s room. The door


    was cracked open slightly and I could hear the murmurs of people talking somewhere in the


    packhouse. Getting up, I clutch my neck, the movement making my mark sting. Tears brim in my eyes


    that he marked me. I hated him. I hated him with everything in me. I felt betrayed by him. Now there


    was no escaping the bond.


    Walking to the door I open it, the door creaking and the house suddenly falls quiet. ¡°Tyson?¡± I call


    out, hoping Ace isn¡¯t the one that is home. I hear footsteps before seeing Tyson suddenly appear in the


    hallway and I rush to him. Throwing my arms around him, he hugs me close and I breathe in his scent,


    sparks rushing over my skin as he presses his lips to my head. Hearing voices again I look up at him.


    ¡°Who is here, is Ace here?¡± I ask, not wanting to see him.


    ¡°No, he isn¡¯t here bute on¡± Tyson says, grabbing my hand and tugging me down the hall when


    I get the burnt smell of Almonds overloading my senses and I knew a demon was in the house. I freeze


    my entire body locking up and Tyson stops before cupping my face and brushing his thumb over my


    cheek.


    ¡°You are safe I promise, Ace isn¡¯t here¡± He says tugging me to him before walking me out into the


    living room. If I was scared before it was nothingpared to how I felt now seeing all their faces. I feel


    bile rise in my throat and I rip my hand from Tyson¡¯s. My heart raced in my chest so hard I could hear it.


    My stomach drops as I stare back at my stepfather, Aamon, Avery andst of all my mother. I step


    backwards, this can¡¯t be happening, why were they looking at me like that?


    I hated being in the spotlight and suddenly all eyes were on me. The pity in their eyes made me


    feel pathetic and I knew they knew. I look at Tyson and step further toward the front door, my stepfather


    stepping in front of it before I could make a run for it.


    ¡°You told them?¡± I ask, horrified and humiliated looking at Tyson.


    ¡°They needed to know, Lucy¡± I shake my head. How could he, how could he do this to me?


    ¡°Lucy?¡± My mother says softly, making me look at her and her huge swollen belly, tears running


    down her cheeks as she tries to get up.


    ¡°No, no, you don¡¯t get to care now, none of you do¡± I tell her before looking at Tyson.


    ¡°How could you, you are supposed to be my mate?¡± I told him.


    ¡°That¡¯s not a secret I could keep Lucy,¡± Tyson says.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t yours to tell either¡± I scream at him. Tears running down my face at theplete and


    utter embarrassment of this situation. This is thest thing I wanted was for everyone to know,


    everyone to judge me.


    ¡°They can help, Avery and Aamon needed to know Lucy. What if he does it to someone else, could


    you live with that, knowing you could have stopped it¡± Tyson says, stepping toward me.


    ¡°Well they know now don¡¯t they¡± I tell him turning back for the bedroom realising I have no chance


    of escaping out the front door.


    ¡°Lucy stop!¡± My stepfathermands, my feet bing suddenly glued to the floor unable to


    take another step. His Alpha aura rolled over me, sending a wave of pain through me as I grit my teeth,


    a whimper leaving my lips. I hear Tyson growl.


    ¡°Drop it brother, king or not I will hurt you¡± Tyson growls walking over to me where I was frozen.


    Themand drops and I gasp sucking in a breath. Tyson wraps his arms around me, his hands


    running up and down my arms before resting his chin on my shoulder. I rx against him, leaning into


    him, sparks running over me making me want to step closer and live in his warmth, not that I could get


    any closer to him when he was already pressed against me.


    ¡°You have nothing to be embarrassed about Lucy, what he did is wrong. No one deserves that, but


    you have to tell them¡± Tyson murmurs.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to tell them¡± I whisper, horrified at the thought, my biggest shame, my weakest


    moment. Tell them how pathetic I was? What if they me me, I shut the door. I could have ran but I


    stupidly shut the door. I don¡¯t want to tell anyone that, have them look at me differently.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to say it Lucy, just let me look, let me in your head¡± Comes Avery¡¯s voice. I shake


    my head and she gets up walking toward me, her emerald green eyes sparkling back at me as she


    stands before me, she always looked so regal, so strong and I could see why she was the demon witch


    high priestess, she truly was a remarkable woman and had done so much to help us mutations, she


    helped save us, helped free us. She cups my face in her hands, her auburn hair hanging over one


    shoulder to her waist as she gazed down at me.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell anyone okay, just let me see. I need to see Lucy, I can¡¯t convict him if I


    haven''t seen the truth¡±


    ¡°Convict him?¡± I ask. And she nods, her thumbs rubbing under my eyes when I suddenly get an


    idea, I touch my mark on my neck knowing she is the only person to exist that can remove a mate


    bond, she was half subus, her father asemodeous was the prince of hell, her mother was the queen


    of the faewood coven before Aamon murdered her, everyone has heard the stories of Avery and


    Aamon¡¯s tragic past, yet she still loved him brought him back from the dead after she killed him for his


    betrayal. I envied that she loved him enough to bring him but I hated Ace, hated his mark thaty on


    my neck.


    ¡°You let me see Lucy, I promise you will never have to see him again¡±


    ¡°What will happen to him?¡± I ask.


    ¡°I will send him back to the pits of hell where he belongs, my father will make sure he burns


    everyday for what he did for the rest of eternity¡± She says, her voice never wavering and I knew she


    would do just that, I nod and she smiles softly.


    ¡°I will also do what you want to ask but can¡¯t bring yourself too¡± She says knowingly.


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± I hear Tyson ask behind me.


    She doesn¡¯t answer him, instead answers me. ¡°Sometimes you gotta destroy them, to make them


    see the error of their ways, if he doesn¡¯t you will always have Tyson, he won¡¯t go anywhere¡± She tells


    me.


    ¡°Will it be permanent?¡± I ask, wondering if I will regret it. Mate bonds were sacred and even though


    I am not a werewolf anymore I still didn''t want to shun the moon goddess.


    ¡°No, I am just giving your choice back, something he never should have taken¡± She says and I nod


    a tear slipping down my cheek that she brushes away.


    Her eyes burn brighter and her hands warm up before I am plunged into my memories, Avery


    going through and filtering through them and I watch them sh past in snippets before stopping on the


    worst day of my life. The memory ying out and despite knowing I was safe and it wasn¡¯t happening I


    felt fear grip me in its deadly vice, tearing me apart once again as I am forced to relieve every terrifying


    moment of it. I feel myself start to panic, my breathing getting harder and harder before I am suddenly


    struggling to breathe.


    Hands moving up my arms before hearing Tyson¡¯s voice next to my ear,¡±I¡¯m right here, calm down


    babe, right here, I won''t let anyone hurt you¡± He says soothingly, his hands warming me as I focus on


    his scent while the image sh by before I suddenly see Avery¡¯s face smiling sadly at me. ¡°Thank you


    Lucy, he will pay. I can assure you that¡± She says before her eyes flicker ck.


    ¡°Now let''s take care of this, we will havepany soon¡± She says. Her hand went to my neck.


    ¡°Will it hurt?¡± I ask.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    ¡°It won¡¯t hurt you child, but he will feel it,¡± She says.


    ¡°Lucy?¡± Tyson says but I don''t answer Avery does.


    ¡°It isn¡¯t permanent, but now she can choose whether or not to let him mark her again¡± Avery tells


    him and I look up at Tyson, he presses his lips in a line but nods his head.


    Avery looks back at me before I feel her hand on my neck go spine tingling cold, I shiver before I


    gasp feeling the teether snap. A cold feeling settled over me but it wasn¡¯t painful, just empty, numb.


    She pulls her hand away. ¡°The foreign feeling will ease, I promise but it will linger until you either


    let him mark you again or reject him¡± She says and I nod, swallowing before looking at Tyson. Hearing


    a roar outside I jump and Avery¡¯s eyes dart to the door.


    ¡°And that would be Ace¡± She says, her eyes flickering dangerously. The door is suddenly thrown


    open smashing into my stepfather.


    ¡°What did you do Lucy?¡± Ace screams at me before marching over to me. Ryker growls behind him


    and goes to rip him back but it was Avery that stepped forward with her hands going to his face. He


    clutches her hands as they lock onto the side of his head, before his eyes roll into the back of his head.


    Ace¡¯s body starts to tremble, his canines protruding before his breathing bes raggard, she


    suddenly lets him go and he staggers backwards. Ryker grabbed his arm to steady him before his eyes


    locked on me. I step back into Tyson, his hand going around my waist and Ace looks at Avery.


    ¡°Did you, that really?¡± He shakes his head, his face twisted in anger.


    ¡°I gave you her memories, maybe next time you will make better choices, never pick anyone over


    your mate¡± Avery tells him before walking over to Aamon.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t a lie?¡± Ace gasps and my heart hurts at his words, he really thought I would lie about


    something like that, he believed Mna over me? It hurts and I re at him. Disgusted that he still


    didn;t believe me even after I told them.


    ¡°I will take care of Mr Tanner, but we will be leaving now¡± Avery says and I nod, she truly was a


    good woman. Her and Aamon mist out of the room, the smell of burnt almonds gets stronger and I


    cringe.


    ¡°Lucy?¡± My mother says from where she is sitting on the couch, I look at her smiling sadly.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn''t know. You cane home if you want¡± She blurts as I turn to leave the room.


    ¡°Lucy don¡¯t upset your mother¡± Ryker says behind me and I turn back to face the room.


    ¡°Yet she has no problem upsetting me, the moment you had Rayan you forgot about me, I get it, I


    was created from a bad past, one you wanted to forget, a constant reminder so don¡¯t worry mother, you


    don¡¯t have to worry about me corrupting your real your children¡± I tell her before turning on my heel and


    walking off.


    ¡°Lucy?¡± She calls and my heart clenched at her voice.


    ¡°Just let her calm down, she has had a rough day. I will bring her back over during the week¡± I hear


    Tyson tell her but I just walk back to his room shutting the door. I wanted nothing more than to curl up


    and go to sleep and forget this day ever happened along with the rest of the days that torment


    me.

 Chapter 22

    Chapter 22


    Ace¡¯s POV


    I felt gutted knowing everything she said was true. I don¡¯t know why I doubted her, maybe it was


    my own guilt or I was just too blinded by my anger after what Mna told me, that I didn¡¯t see sense


    but now I felt like a piece of shit for not believing her, when she had never given me reason to question


    her before. Lucy usually owned up to her wrongs and now I was going to have to do the same.


    Lucy stormed off to Tyson¡¯s room and I didn¡¯t me her, she hated me. I hated me for what I did


    but I never expected her to have the bond removed and now I had to face her rejecting me all over


    again. Leaning on the verandah wall I toss my smoke. Rykeres out with Reika and he opens the


    car door for her. A growl escapes him when he spots me leaning on the wall. I watch as he shuts her


    door before walking over to me. I know what ising, could see it a mile away as he stalked up the


    steps toward me. I face him head on and don¡¯t even flinch when he raises his fist.


    My head whips to the side as his fist connects with my face. My blood trickled down my chin where


    he split my lip open. ¡° You knew she was your mate and fooled around on her, then to make it worse


    you forcefully mark her¡± Ryker growls at me raising his fist and smacking me again.


    I spit blood on the ground knowing I deserved it but it still angered me, he wasn''t no fucking saint


    either.


    ¡°If she rejects you again you will not mark her¡± He snaps at me.


    ¡°Ace?¡± He screams in my face grabbing the front of my shirt.


    ¡°I won¡¯t okay, she rejects me again I will leave¡± I tell him. He growls but nods his head before


    shoving me away. Tysones out looking at me from the door, he presses his lips in a line but says


    nothing. I know he was angry at me, he has always been the most selfless one out of us, he waited for


    her, and would have continued to wait until she figured it out. I ruined things for him and now it has put


    a strain on our rtionship.


    Ryker nods to Tyson pping his hand on his shoulder before heading to his car. I watched them


    leave before turning to Tyson who was blocking the doorway.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going to do anything¡± I tell him. I just wanted to speak to her. He steps out of the way and I


    walk inside about to head toward his room when calls out.


    ¡°Leave her be¡± He says and I stop, a growl escaping me before I shove it down.


    ¡°You must be loving this? Loving that she hates me because you can keep her to yourself¡± I snap


    at him.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t hurt her, you did. I may not like having to share her brother but I would never do anything


    that would hurt her, if she keeps you I wouldn¡¯t try to stop her. I epted the fact we had to share her,


    understood it but I won¡¯t sit back and watch you destroy her more than she already is¡±


    ¡°And if she rejects me again, you understand she can now¡±


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t want to reject you Ace, but you forcing her will make her. Stop being selfish for once


    in your goddamn life and let her decide instead of taking her choice from her¡±


    ¡°So you expect me to sit back and watch you two cosying up together¡± I growl at him.


    ¡°Yes I do, don¡¯t make things worse Ace, you didn¡¯t just put your bond with her at risk, you put mine


    at risk too. This was never a normal mate bond considering she was raised alongside us making it


    already difficult enough then you screwing around with Mna. What did you expect to happen? Then


    to top it off you mark her and choose Mna over her, you messed this up, not me and I won''t be


    punished for your misdoings¡± He says before walking off down the hallway toward his room. I watch


    him close his door. Jealousy coursing through me before I stalk off toward mine mming the door. I


    really made a mess of things.


    ¡°Just Mark her¡± Atticus tells me and I growl at him.


    ¡°Shut up, you have been no help at all¡± I tell him, shoving him back.


    Lucy POV


    Everyone left while I hid in the room.


    Tyson came in and I could hear him arguing with Ace but he says nothing of it when he steps back


    inside the room. ¡°Do you want to watch a movie?¡± He asks,ying on the bed beside me.


    I shake my head, I didn¡¯t feel like doing anything I just wanted to get away from everyone, away


    from the drama. Yet being here that would never happen and going home wasn¡¯t an option either for


    me. Not yet at least. Sitting up, I wanted to leave and see Mitchel but didn¡¯t know how Tyson would


    take that.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Tyson asks.


    ¡°I wanted to go see Mitchel¡± I tell him, needing my friend, my only friend. Tyson growls but says


    nothing instead gets up and walks over to his closet and grabs a jumper out and pulls it on.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡± I ask him, suddenly worried.


    ¡°I will drop you off¡± He says, tossing me a jumper.


    ¡°Are you letting me go?¡± I ask a little shocked.


    ¡°Yes, I am not happy about it but I trust you Lucy, just let me drop you off and pick you up¡± He says


    and I nod pulling his jumper over my head. I mindlinked Mitchel who said he was about to catch the bus


    home from school but instead Tyson told me to tell him we would pick him up. Pulling up out the front of


    the school Mitchel was standing there and he looked nervous as he approached Tyson¡¯s car.


    Tyson had a tight grip on the steering wheel and I opened my door and climbed out and Mitchel


    gave me a hug. ¡°So why is the Alpha of ck Moon picking me up?¡± Mitchel asks.


    I open the back door for him before climbing back in the passenger seat.


    ¡°Alpha¡± Mitchel says out of respect even though technically Tyson wasn¡¯t his Alpha, my stepfather


    was. Tyson nods to him but starts driving.


    ¡°So what are we doing?¡± Mitchel asks.


    ¡°I am dropping Lucy off to your ce, I wille get herter¡± Tyson says.


    ¡°Okay, am I missing something, did I do something wrong?¡± Mitchel asks nervously.


    ¡°No, of course not. Tyson is just a little weirded out with me hanging out with you¡± I tell him looking


    over the back of my seat.


    ¡°And why is that Lucy?¡± Tyson says and I know he was wanting me to tell Mitchel he is my mate. I


    sigh it was going toe out anyway.


    Mitchel was watching him trying to figure it out. ¡°Tyson and Ace are my mates¡± I tell Mitchel who


    opens and closes his mouth a few times before he lets out a breath.


    ¡°Okay then¡± Mitchel says with a nod processing that information. Tyson nces at him over his


    shoulder.


    ¡°Well at least mum will stop pestering me about you¡± Mitchel says and Tyson growls at him.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Mitchel puts up his hand shaking his head.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine being friends, Alpha¡± Mitchel says and I sit back in my seat. The drive wasn¡¯t long to


    Mitchell''s ce. Getting out of the car, Tyson hops out before walking over to me. He pulls me to him


    before pressing his lips to my head.


    ¡°Mindlink me when you want me to pick you up¡± Tyson says and I nod. Mitchel and I spent all


    afternoon ying video games and surprisingly nothing changed with him knowing I was Tyson¡¯s mate.


    He didn¡¯t seem to care but was just d to be spending time with me.


    Mitchell told his mother who seemed genuinely happy and I stayed for dinner before we went back


    up and yed video games before watching a movie.


    I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I remember is being woken by someone carrying me.


    My eyes flutter open before I snuggle closer into Tyson before feeling cold air brush over my skin and I


    knew we were outside.


    ¡°Mitchel rang me and said you fell asleep¡± Tyson says when I look up at him as he puts me in the


    passenger side before pulling my seatbelt across me. I lean back on the chair and see Mitchelle


    over.


    ¡°Will see youter luce,¡± He says shutting my door and Tyson nods to him before climbing in the


    car and starting it.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t mindlink me toe get you?¡± He asks, reversing out of the driveway.


    ¡°I fell asleep,¡± I tell him.


    ¡°I would prefer it if you didn¡¯t fall asleep in another males bed though¡± Tyson says.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t realise how tired I was¡± I tell him.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine lucy, I am not mad, I know everything must be confusing for you and Mitchel isn¡¯t as bad


    as I thought, at least he rang me¡± Tyson says pulling onto the highway.


    ¡°Ace?¡± I ask and he growls.


    ¡°Feeling sorry for himself¡± Tyson says and I nod resting my head on the window.


    The house was dark when we got home, no lights were on inside and I hoped that meant Ace was


    asleep. Tyson parks his car before hopping out and I follow him to the front door and watch as he


    unlocks it pushing it open for me.


    I yawned wanting to go back to sleep but I also knew Tyson wouldn¡¯t like smelling Mitchell all over


    me, so I walked back to his room grabbing a towel from the linen cupboard on the way to his room.


    ¡°I will get you some clothes¡± Tyson says as I step into the bathroom flicking on the light. I turn the


    shower on waiting for the water to heat up. Tyson knocks on the door.


    ¡°Clothes Lucy¡± He says and I open the door.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you juste in?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°Because I didn¡¯t know if I was allowed¡± He answers.


    ¡°You''re my mate and it''s just skin Tyson¡± I tell him, stripping off but he looks away turning his back


    to me.


    ¡°You are so much like your mother,¡± He mutters.


    ¡°You have seen me naked before Tyson, geez¡±


    ¡°Yes before you knew we are your mates Lucy, Tyrant wants to im you, I just don¡¯t want to be


    put in a situation where he might when you don¡¯t want to be marked yet¡±


    I hop in the shower, wetting my hair before grabbing the soap and washing myself, ridding my skin


    of Mitchels scent.


    Tyson remained near the door until I finished showering and talking about random things. Getting


    out, I dry myself and slip on his shirt and some shorts.


    "I''m decent" I tell him and he turns around while I roll my eyes at him.


    "You sleeping in here?" Tyson asks.


    "I wouldn''t havee in here if I wasn''t nning to, and Ace won''te in here with you with me"


    I tell him.


    "He would but I wouldn''t let him mark you" I nod before stepping past him and into the room.


    I climb on his bed gettingfortable before he changes quickly and climbs in bed with me.


    I roll resting my head on his bare chest and he reaches over, flicking themp off. The only light


    "What do you want Lucy?" Tyson asks, his fingers ying with my hair.


    "I want things to go back to normal"


    "What is your idea of normal?" He asks. I wasn''t sure anymore either.


    "Back to before when I used toe back in the holidays"


    "Before you knew we were your mates, before Mr Tanner?" Tyson asks. I nod and he sighs.


    "You know that''s not possible, I don''t want to be your friend Lucy, Tyrant won''t let me even if I tried


    you are mine and Ace''s, just as I am yours but I can wait" he says. I don''t say anything but at least I


    know I am safe with Tyson.

    Chapter 23


    Ace POV


    I could hear them talking and it infuriated me listening to their banter before the room fell silent .I


    was sick and tired of beingpared to Tyson, ever since we took over this pack it has always been a


    away from her and that pissed me off, we agreed that we would share her. Share, not one keeps her


    for himself. It made me wonder if it was his n all along, but I knew that was just my jealousy talking.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    I sat staring at the ceiling, I wanted to be with her, wanted to apologise, wanted to make up for


    what I did but I can¡¯t if she won¡¯t let me near her. Atticus was frantic at the thought of losing his mate,


    frantic that she would reject us again. I was restless and she was so close yet so far out of reach for


    me right now.


    ¡°Will you stop that?¡± Tyson¡¯s voice says flitting through my head.


    ¡°Stop what?¡± I ask annoyed. I was staying away like he wanted.


    ¡°The scratching¡± He snaps at me. I looked down at my hands not realising my ws had slipped


    out and I was tearing apart the side of my bed.


    ¡°Sorry I didn''t realise¡± I tell him.


    ¡°You ok or not?¡±


    ¡°Like you care, what do you think?¡± I tell him.


    ¡°She is asleep, you cane in but don¡¯t wake her, and you try anything¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t, Atticus is annoying me¡±


    ¡°I mean it Ace. You try to mark her I will lose it, you cane in but hop out before she wakes¡±


    Tyson tells me.


    ¡®I won¡¯t, I just want to be close to her¡± I tell him, already climbing out of bed. I opened my bedroom


    door before creeping down the hall, creeping around my own damn house but I felt better knowing


    Tyson still wanted me to be her mate, it put me at ease a little that he wasn¡¯t trying to shove me out.


    ¡°He is our twin¡± Atticus tells me, making me realise how silly my jealousy is, he is just protective of


    her, we both are, just I fucked up.


    I pushed open his bedroom door and he was watching TV, Lucy asleep with her head on his chest.


    He pulls her closer, giving me room on the bed so I cany beside her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t wake her she will be pissed off¡± Tyson mindlinks and I nod before carefullyying down


    beside her. I shuffle closer to her, draping my arm over her waist. I bury my face in her hair inhaling her


    scent. My wolf instantly rxed and so did I.


    ¡°If she epts us we will have to get a bigger bed, no offense bro but I don¡¯t want you touching


    me¡± He says and I chuckle and she stirs. I freeze and Tyson does too before looking down at her. She


    rolls, both of us frozen before she turns into me. I knew she was reacting to the bond and not me but I


    liked it all the same as she snuggled closer.


    Tyson flicks the TV off before snuggling closer to her.


    ¡°Fine you can stay but if she wakes up and is angry you are taking the me¡±


    ¡°Deal¡± I reply, kissing her head and pulling her closer and into my chest.


    Lucy POV


    Waking up, I am surrounded by warmth. Sparks rushed everywhere all over my body and I


    stiffened when I picked up Ace¡¯s scent, my hand darting to my neck and I let out a breath of relief when


    I realised he hadn¡¯t marked me while I was asleep though I am sure i owls have woke up to his teeth in


    my neck. I stare at him, besides their scents the only difference between them was Ace had a scar


    through his eyebrow and across his eyelid while Tyson face was scar free. Though Tyson had a rather


    stumbled into our camp trying to get in our tent.


    It woke us up when it wed through the canvas and he barely had time to shift before it dragged


    him out. Poor thing was hungry Tyson fought it off and scared it away yet it tore into his thigh pretty bad


    and I had to hold his thigh together while it healed leaving the scar while Ace went to get Ryker. I run


    my fingers down his eyelid tracing the scar with my finger. His eyes instantly flew open at my touch.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡± he whispered, gripping my hand. He kisses my fingertips before holding it to his chest.


    ¡°I know you hate me, I know I shouldn¡¯t be in here but Atticus was restless¡± He says, closing his


    eyes again and going back to sleep.


    ¡°I am not forgiving you Ace¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Just don¡¯t reject me, I can live with you hating me, but don¡¯t reject me¡± He says. Now that I had


    calmed down and wasn¡¯t so emotional. I don¡¯t think I could even if I wanted to, yet I still hated him, yet


    some part of me all along knew they were mine, I just didn¡¯t know it without my wolf. I don¡¯t say


    anything knowing I''m too hot headed to promise anything but when I truly decide I know I will stick with


    it. I feel movement behind me and look over my shoulder just as Tyson sits looking over at us.


    ¡°Everything good?¡± He asks, worriedly and I knew he thought I would be losing it at Ace for being


    in here.


    ¡°You knew he was in here didn¡¯t you¡± Tyson looks away guiltily. I watch his adam''s apple bob as he


    swallows.


    ¡°Yes Lucy, I said he coulde in. I won¡¯t lie to you¡± He says resting his chin on my shoulder.


    ¡°He is my brother, and your mate¡± Tyson says looking at his brother. I felt bad because I knew I


    wasing between them. They were always inseparable, we all were growing up. It saddened me


    that it would never be like that again.


    ¡°You don¡¯t seem mad?¡± Ace says drawing my attention back to him.


    ¡°Give me a chance to wake up, I am working up to it¡± I tell him and he chuckles.


    ¡°You know you can¡¯t stay mad at us long¡± He says cockily and I raise an eyebrow at him.


    ¡°You have slept with Mna for 5 years Ace, knowing I was your mate¡± I tell him, just the thought


    of him being near her was enough to make the anger and hatee back. He sighs before nodding.


    ¡°I will go then¡± He says and I swallow feeling bad, but fuck him he should feel bad. He used me


    of lying and screwed around. I didn¡¯t know what I wanted, I wanted them, yet my brain was telling me I


    was being stupid by epting him, that he would only hurt me again. Yet the bond pulled me the other


    way, needing him close like they were both my safety nket.


    ¡°Stay, just a little longer¡± I tell him wanting to soak up his scent before I have to turn into the


    heartless bitch I know I can be again. Heys back down before pulling me closer.


    ¡°I have loved you since before I knew you were our mate Lucy, Mna was just a distraction, she


    means nothing to me. Never has never will¡±


    ¡°But you picked her side over mine¡±


    ¡°I was angry, I thought you lied about being a virgin, then Mna said all that and it pissed me off.


    I never should have doubted you¡± He says.


    ¡°Even if I wasn¡¯t a virgin, you have no say in that anyway after what you did¡± I tell him angrily, I


    can¡¯t believe that he expected me to wait but he couldn¡¯t, knowing full well I was his mate.


    ¡°I am sorry I should have waited like Tyson. But I can¡¯t go back and change what I did Lucy, but I


    can try to make up for it if you let me¡± He says.


    ¡°Tyson waited¡± I tell him and he nods looking at his brother.


    ¡°And I won;t ask for anything except not to reject me. Tyson deserves you more than I do, I get that


    and I understand if you want to be with him. I won¡¯t rush you neither will Tyson but please don;t reject


    me Lucy¡±


    I knew it was hard for him to apologize, he wasn¡¯t one to apologise. Neither of them were but I feel


    like an apology just isn¡¯t enough. Isn¡¯t enough for what he did and to use me of being a slut when I


    am not hurt. I never expected that from him.


    ¡°I will leave you two alone, I need to get to work anyway¡± Ace says hopping up. I didn''t stop him


    this time, I just needed time to think. Yet that was impossible with both of them around.


    ¡°What do you want to do since Ace will handle pack business?¡± Tyson asks.


    ¡°I think I want to go home¡± I tell him unsure, I needed to face my mother but I also wanted to see


    Rayan. I missed my room, I missed my old life. I missed me.

 Chapter 24

    Chapter 24


    We waited for Rayan to finish school and Tyson told Ryker he would pick him up. I was too chicken


    to face my mother but I knew with Rayan by my side I could do anything. Rayan was my go to when


    shit hit the fan, he never judges me despite what my parents think. Rayan was quiet, an observer and


    my parents didn''t realise how much he truly knows, he was smart.


    Rayan knew information was key and by always ying in the shadows he saw a lot of which my


    parents didn''t know. But most of all he saw me, saw me for who I am, he didn''t see me as a problem


    child, didn''t see me the way they did, he only saw me as his sister.


    "Hey sis" Rayan says climbing in the back of Tyson''s car, he leans over from the back seat


    wrapping his little arms around my neck nearly strangling me against my chair or at least that''s what it


    would look like from anyone looking in the windshield.


    I pat his hand before he kisses my cheek. "Youing home for a while or just dealing with


    mum?" He asks, sitting back and clipping his seatbelt in.


    "Not sure yet, it depends on mum, did you get in much trouble for covering for me?"


    "Eh don''t worry about it, mum should be fine. Feels terrible for not listening to you" heughs


    humorlessly.


    "Like anyone could get a word in even if she was listening" he says with air quotes.


    "What about Dad?"


    "Mum and dad have been fighting like cats and dogs, mum even asked for divorce. Like that will


    happen" he says and he was right they are mates. Dad would lock her in the house under guard if she


    tried to leave him, not that she would, mum has a tendency to speak before thinking.


    "How was school?" I ask him as Tyson pulls onto the highway heading toward the packhouse.


    "Good I got an A+ on my history paper today" heughs before rummaging through his backpack


    and handing me his assignment. I read it andughed at what it was on.


    "Hybrid mutations? Seriously we have made history books now?" I ask handing it back to him.


    "Yep, it was easy for me seeing as I am partially one and you and mum" he says and I snort.


    "Don''t worry, got another one on the hybrid Queen thinking of asking grandma toe in, be like a


    show and tell. Can''t ask mum she will probably go intobour from the stress of being in front of


    everyone or rock up naked.


    Assignment will change to how to deliver mutation babies" he chuckles.


    "She would if you ask, she is always looking for an excuse toe visit, mum would love it" Tyson


    adds in for the first time.


    "So what''s going on with you two and Ace, sort this mates business out?" Rayan asks.


    "Eh kind of" I tell him and leans forward in his seat sticking his head between us.


    "I''m still punching Ace in the face" he says and my lips tug up. Tyson smiles.


    "You do that little prince, I will even pay you to watch you smack him one" Tyson says pulling up


    out the front. He parks the car and I stare at the packhouse.


    "Want me toe with you?" Tyson asks when I don''t get out.


    "Na she is good. She got me" Rayan says, climbing out beforeing over to my door and


    opening it.


    "If you want toe home ring me or mindlink me, I wille get you"


    "It will be fine" I tell him not even believing my own words. Rayan tugs my hand and I look at him.


    "Come on, you can use me as a shield if she starts throwing shit" my brother tells me.


    "Yeah right like I would do that" I tell him and he shrugs.


    "Come on, I am sure Tyson will sneak in tonight anyway" Rayan says and I raise an eyebrow at my


    brother.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    "What, he used to do it all the time, while you were on holiday here, I thought you knew" he says


    smiling deviously and I look at Tyson whose face turned a little red.


    "Oh you really did?" I ask, shocked.


    "Yeah used to watch you sleep, not stalkerish at all, creepy as fuck" Rayan says.


    "If you knew why didn''t you say anything?" Tyson asks him.


    "I knew you wouldn''t hurt her, besides she would have freaked out if I said anything" Rayan


    shrugs.


    "How long have you known?" Tyson asks.


    "A few years, I thought it odd but figured you had your reasons at first I thought about saying


    something but she always slept better and wouldn''t be screaming in her sleep about the shit they did to


    her in the facility and I thought you just missed her"


    "I did miss her and just so we are clear. I didn''t watch her sleep, that sounds like I am creep"


    "Yeah because crawling in her bed sounds better?" Rayan teases back before tugging on my


    hand. I climbed out of the car, a little shocked that my brother was more observant than me. Not that it


    was surprising.


    We wait for Tyson to leave before Rayan leads me inside and we go to the kitchen. He starts


    rummaging through the pantry bringing out bread while I grab ingredients from the fridge like we used


    to do everytime after school when I attended the schools here.


    "Pickles?" I ask him and he nods as I hold up the jar.


    "Mum still likes chutney?" I ask him.


    "Yeah she ate a jar the other day with peanut butter" he says making a disgusted face.


    We make sandwiches and Jacobes in, grabbing one before pecking my cheek. "Lucy," he


    upstairs.


    "She was napping," Jacobments. I felt bad for him, he got her worst sides constantly as he


    was always assigned to watch my mother. I grab more bread smearing peanut butter on it before Jacob


    nudges me out of the way and smears more on it before grabbing the chutney and spreading some on


    it too. He then sends me a wink and I cut it in half putting it on a te. That is disgusting I thought. I


    was just about to bite into my sd sandwich when she stepped into the kitchen. I could feel my


    brother and Jacob watching us while we kind of just awkwardly stood there staring at each other.

 Chapter 25

    Chapter 25


    "You''re home?" She asks and I nod before handing her the ted sandwich, her te of


    grossness. She takes it, cing it down on the bench before moving so quickly I flinch and I see Jacob


    about to move out of his chair before he rxes when she hugs me. She wraps her arms around me


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    and it felt odd, I can¡¯t remember thest time she actually touched me while not angry. It takes me a


    second before I hug her back, patting her back gently. Her huge belly makes the hug even more


    awkward like hugging someone over a table.


    When she lets go, she nods once and grabs her te walking to the table. She was going to


    pretend everything was peachy and that she didn¡¯t turf me out, but I was okay with that. Better than her


    wrath. We ate in silence and Jacob was on his phone, ignoring us or pretending to anyway. When I am


    done, Rayan tugs my hand, wanting me to follow him. I get up and my mother speaks.


    ¡°Are you staying or going back to your mates?¡± She asks.


    ¡°Staying if I am allowed?¡± I answer and I see Jacob watching her again waiting to see what she


    says. She nods and I realise that was the only answer I was going to get before Rayan tugs my hand. I


    follow him upstairs and walk to my room when he pulls me toward his. I frown wondering why when he


    pushes his door open.


    ¡°I saved what I could¡± He says and I see one side of his room was boxes he stares at his feet


    awkwardly.


    ¡°When she kicked you out she went on a rampage and destroyed your room after I brought you the


    clothes to school, came home and your room was destroyed, this is what is left and what I saved from


    the bin¡± He says. I walk over to it and see my sketch books and a bag of clothes, plus my school bag


    that I left in the car when I arrived. I rummage through grabbing my wallet out to find my cards gone.


    ¡°She cut me off too¡± I tell him, and he grabs his bag to hand me his card that dad transfers his


    allowance to sometimes if he doesn''t have cash on him. I shake my head.


    ¡°No, it''s fine¡± I tell him, though it hurts that she would cut me offpletely out of everything


    knowing I had nothing to begin with.


    Rayan pulls out the trundle under his bed while I rummage through to see what else is in my bag. I


    find my school books, my make up bag but my heart sinks when I don''t find my pills until Rayan


    rummages in his underwear drawer before tossing me the bottle.


    ¡°Was worried mum woulde in and rummage through your stuff and turf it, figured you needed


    those when I found them. Why didn¡¯t you tell me you were on antidepressants?¡± I shrug not something I


    would tell anyone anyway.


    ¡°I can give you some money to get more, I noticed you were nearly out¡± He says but I shake my


    head.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I will ask the pack doctor at Tyson¡¯s pack, he will get them for me. I don¡¯t want mum


    knowing and she will ask questions if I go to our doctors anyway¡± Rayan nods before cing his hands


    on his hips.


    ¡°Oh and by the way I threw out your dirty box of secrets, no way I was salvaging those for you, but


    I got rid of them before mum saw them, you owe me big for that one. Some things I don¡¯t need to know


    about you sis¡±


    ¡°What box of secrets?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°They are the buzzing type that lived in your panties drawer¡± He says before gagging. Iugh and


    throw his pillow at him before sitting on his bed.


    ¡°So what are you going to do then, you have no school or are you thinking of going back?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think I have a choice, I will enrol tomorrow across from you at the highschool. At least I can


    finish the year out and see you at break¡± I tell him and he nods.


    ¡°I will ask Jacob to enroll you or dad, probably best if mum doesn¡¯t go in, she might tell you not to


    bother but you should finish, you are smart, smarter than half the morons at that school¡± Rayan says. I


    nod my head.


    ¡°Only a few months left anyway, I will just coast through the middle and be invisible¡± I tell him and


    he chews his fingernail nervously while nodding. Yeah there is no coasting through the middle when


    you are a freak mutation like me, especially when you have no wolf.


    Rayan helped me set up his room because he wanted me to share with him, said he was worried


    mum would lose it again, and he was right. I shouldn¡¯t getfortable here, nothing goes right for me


    even when I try and I knew it would only be a matter of time before she finds another reason to kick me


    out.


    At dinner time Rayan and I were ying video games when his bedroom door opened.


    My stepfather walking in. ¡°Hey kiddo,e here¡± He says and I rush to him, wrapping my arms around


    his huge frame, he kisses the top of my head.


    ¡°How was mum?¡± He asks.


    ¡°Fine I saw her earlier¡± I tell him and he nods before reaching in his pocket. He goes to hand me


    my keycards back that he must of stopped mum from cutting up. I shake my head.


    ¡°Lucy take them please¡± He says but I refuse.


    ¡°Having somewhere to stay is enough¡± I tell him, I wanted nothing from them and was nearly


    tempted to go live back in the woods just to get away from the guilt and pity in his eyes.


    ¡°You will need¡±


    ¡°Leave her be Dad, I already tried to give her mine; she doesn¡¯t want them¡± Rayan says. My


    stepfather presses his lips in a line but nods.


    ¡°You sort your room out?¡± He asks, looking at the boxes everywhere still.


    ¡°Yep she is staying right here¡± Rayan says tapping the trundle next to his bed.


    ¡°You do realise your sister is a woman not a kid Rayan, most teens don¡¯t want to share with their


    baby brother¡± Ryker tells him.


    ¡°Yeah but she is my sister and I have a bathroom to get changed in, nothing weird. You saying that


    makes it weird¡± Rayan says. Ryker gives him a look I couldn¡¯t decipher but nods leaving the room.


    ¡°What is up with you?¡± I ask Rayan, I wasn¡¯t used to him talking to our parents like that.


    ¡°Nothing I am just sick of the way everyone picks at you when they know nothing, sick of them


    thinking I am some good child while you are the bad one¡±


    ¡°You are a good child¡± I tell him with augh.


    ¡°Yes in a sense, but I am sick of everyone thinking you would somehow corrupt me, I am capable


    of making my own choices and I am not staying away from you just because they are worried, you''re


    my sister. You could kill someone and I would help you bury the body, because you would do the same


    for me¡± He says, folding his arms across his chest. I smirk, he had a point but I didn''t want him getting


    in trouble because of me.

    Lucy POV


    the next day


    Why did I think this was a good idea? I know I needed to finish school, but this, this was torture as


    I walked the halls to my next ss. On the plus side not one person said anything but I think that was


    more to do with the fact that Jacob was with me most of the morning while he helped with my


    enrollment. I needed an adult to sign my papers and I wasn¡¯t asking my mother or stepfather. I probably


    could have asked Tyson or Ace but they would have suggested I went to the one on their territory.


    Walking into English the teacher nodded to the chair up the back of the room, the only seat left. I


    was happy to be at the back and no one could see me. Pulling out my english book from myst


    school. I found a nk page. I would need to find a way to get new books as mine were almost full. On


    the plus side I wasn¡¯t behind in sses because I was always in the advanced sses at my boarding


    school and being in the mainstream sses I found most of the work I had today I had already done.


    When it was the lunch break the first thing I did was race across to the park so I could meet


    Rayan. Sitting on the swings I waited hoping they would let him out when someone sat beside me on


    the other swing. I look over and see Jacob.


    ¡°You right?¡± He asks.


    ¡°Yep, why are you still here?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°Well if the prince is leaving to meet you at lunch everyday I kind of need to be here¡±


    ¡°Oh sorry, I didn¡¯t think of that. It is fine, I can tell Rayan not toe out so you can go back to


    mum¡± I tell him, reaching down to grab my bag.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine Luce, it''s sometimes good to get away from your mother, and she can survive with Pat for


    an hour a day¡± He says, grabbing my hand and stopping me. I nod sitting back on the swing but now I


    felt terrible knowing I was once again interrupting everyone else''s routine.


    Rayanes out before running across the road, he waves before sitting on the other side of


    me.Jacob gets up walking to his car before returning with a paper bag. He hands me a sandwich. I take


    it looking at him questionably while Rayan pulls his lunch from his bag.


    ¡°Notice you didn¡¯t eat this morning or make your lunch¡± Jacob says, giving me a wink.


    ¡°Yeah I could hear mum in the kitchen¡± I tell him. I wasn¡¯t avoiding her exactly but I was trying to


    stay out of her sight, out of sight out of mind right?


    ¡°She will calm down once she gets back on meds hopefully, if Ryker can get her back on them¡±


    Jacob says, making my brows furrow. Rayan shoots him a look.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± I ask. I never knew my mother was on medication.


    ¡°For her wolf¡± Rayan answers.


    ¡°Huh, I don¡¯t understand,¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Dad didn''t want you to know, Amanda is unstable always has been but apparently after I was


    born, mum was put on medication. She has been off her meds now for 2 years. Dad has been trying to


    convince her to go back on them but Amanda guilts her out of suppressing her, don¡¯t tell dad you know


    Jacob wasn¡¯t meant to tell you¡± Rayan says. Come to think of it she had changed over thest couple


    of years, turned distant and then we started shing majorly.


    ¡°Why is it a secret?¡± I ask, why would they hide this from me? Was I not trusted with this


    information?


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t matter Lucy, just forget he said anything¡± Rayan says ring at Jacob who shrugs.


    ¡°What do you mean that Amanda is unstable?¡±


    ¡°She isn¡¯t controble, doc said it is to do with PTSD from being raised in captivity and everything


    that happened after she escaped¡± Jacob says.


    ¡°I still don¡¯t get why it is a secret, one kept from me¡± Rayan frowns.


    ¡°It doesn''t matter Lucy, just drop it¡± He says, tearing off a piece of his sandwich and eating it. I was


    always going to be an outsider, the fact they wouldn¡¯t tell me, just another reason I would never be


    ss.


    The first day was horrid, no one spoke to me, yet I heard the whispers and snickering about being


    a mutated freak but I shrug thements off. They were not game enough to say it to my face so they


    weren''t worth my time. Jacob picked us both up from school and dropped us home before going to tend


    to my mother. All day it yed on my mind as to why I wasn¡¯t allowed to know about mum.


    I was sitting on the floor in Rayan¡¯s room helping him do his homework when my father called out


    from downstairs. We both look up before realising he must be calling about it being dinner time.


    ¡°Come on, we can eat in the room¡± Rayan says as we both hop up. We walk downstairs to grab


    our dinner when my stepfather calls out from the dining table.


    ¡°No, at the table. I am sick of you both hiding in the room¡± He says and we both turn walking to the


    table. Dinner was silent and I could tell my stepfather was in a bad mood.


    ¡°How was school?¡± he asks. I nod, stuffing pasta in my mouth, to find my mother staring at me. I


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    put my head down focusing on my food yet I could feel her gaze on me.


    ¡°You enrolled back at school?¡± She asks.


    ¡°Yes, I need to finish¡± I tell her and I was surprised how weak I sounded.


    ¡°Why?¡± She asks and her words shocked me, making me look up at her.


    ¡°Because I am nearly finished, I only have three months left before graduation¡± I tell her. She


    doesn¡¯t say anything but I could see my father watching her. She also noticed his gaze and she looked


    away back down at her food. This was so awkward, I could feel the tension sizzling.


    ¡°How was work?¡± I ask my father, trying to make small talk, I wasn''t good at this shit. Wasn''t good


    being forced to sit at a table with my family. I was used to holiday breaks where I could get away with


    huge family gatherings and go unseen or just stay with my aunts or Ace and Tyson.


    ¡°Do you actually care?¡± my mother asks and I clench my fork a lump forming in my throat. Why


    would she say that?


    ¡°Work was fine Lucy¡± My father says and I hear my mother growl at him making my eyes dart to


    her, she had a feral look on her face. Rayan was watching her but looked back at his te eating


    quicker and I did the same before asking if I could be excused. My father nods to both Rayan and I and


    we escape back to our room. I grab a towel and my pajamas before heading to the bathroom attached


    to his room to shower.


    While in the shower, I feel the mindlink open up. ¡°How is being at home?¡± Tyson asks before I feel


    Ace also force the link through.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± I reply.


    ¡°You can alwayse home to us¡± Ace says.


    ¡°No, I want to be near Rayan and mum is due any day now so I am sure she will need help with


    Rayan¡± I tell them, though Rayan was more capable of looking after himself.


    ¡°Why are you avoiding us?¡± Tyson asks.


    ¡°I¡¯m not but I wille stay on the weekend if you want¡± I tell them knowing it was hard for their


    wolves to be away from their mate. I don¡¯t have that issue but I did miss them, I was morefortable


    with them then being here but I just couldn¡¯t wrap my head around being their mate. Plus I was worried


    Ace would run back to Mna. I don¡¯t know how they kept it secret for so long while waiting for me to


    grow up. It kind of made me feel guilty.


    ¡°Please make sure you do, I miss you Lucy¡± Tyson says and I nod before cutting the link off. I


    finish my shower before brushing my teeth and grabbing a ss of water to swallow my pills looking


    into the bottle which only had one left. Rayan had a mini fridge in his room with drinks and snacks.


    Besides having to go downstairs for main meals we could just stay in the room.

 Chapter 27

    Chapter 27


    Tyson POV


    ¡°Do you think this is her way of rejecting us without rejecting us?¡± Ace asks me after she cut off the


    mindlink. I had no idea what was going on with her anymore. She was always so guarded, always


    putting on a front and it was hard to get her to drop it. She doesn''t need to hide from us, we would love


    her anyway.


    ¡°She said she woulde see us on the weekend¡± I tell him and he nods sipping his beer. I


    wanted to give her space but it was killing me, knowing she now knew what we are to her. Now she


    knows it made the time away from her a bigger struggle. When she was oblivious to the bond it was


    easier because I used that as an excuse to remain calm reminding myself she doesn''t know but now


    she does and it was eating away at me and Tyrant that she kept her distance.


    **************


    The next three days went by quickly and I was bing fed up. She said she wasn¡¯t avoiding us


    yet she always blocked us out or made excuses. I was about to mindlink her when I felt Rayan force


    the link instead opening it up to me.


    ¡°Hey buddy, what''s up?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°Nothing but can you do something for me?¡± He asks.


    ¡°Depends, why aren''t you asking Jacob or your father?¡±


    ¡°Lucy doesn¡¯t want them know but she keeps saying she was going to ask you but I noticed she


    hasn¡¯t and I am tired of her keeping me up at night¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Doesn''t matter but can you meet at school today? I will sneak out early¡± He says.


    ¡°Fine text me what time and I will be there¡± I go to cut the link when I reopen it.


    ¡°Is Lucy ok?¡± I ask him.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ¡°Lucy is coping¡± He says, for some reason that wasn''t the answer I was hoping for. What the heck


    did he mean by it. Before I could ask he closed the link before I got a text message telling me where to


    meet him. All day I kept mindlinking her but she always said she was busy, making me wonder what


    she was busy doing?


    ¡°Ace, I am going to meet Rayan. Do you want toe?¡± I ask him. I hear him grab his keys before


    walking toward me.


    ¡°I¡¯m driving¡± He says and I growl. He drives like a maniac, I hated when he drove but followed after


    him anyway. We arrived at the school and Rayan was waiting in the park across the road.


    ¡°How do you get out all the time?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°Alpha¡¯s son has its perks¡± He says before handing me something. I look at it and find them to be


    antidepressants.


    ¡°Lucy ran out 2 days ago and she won¡¯t go to the pack doctor to get more because she worried


    mum would find out. I would have got them for her but the pharmacist isn¡¯t going to give me a ss A


    drug seeing as I am a kid¡± He says and I could tell it irked him that he couldn''t sway a doctor to his will.


    ¡°Okay I will get them for her¡± Ace says, grabbing the bottle from my hands before pulling his phone


    out to ring the pack doctor as he walks back to the car.


    ¡°What did you mean earlier when you said she is coping?¡±


    ¡°That every night she is awoken by nightmares, I usually end up jammed on the trundle with her,


    and I noticed without her meds she has a tendency to sleep walk probably not the best thing when


    mum is off her meds¡± Rayan says.


    ¡°Your dad still had no luck?¡± I ask him and he shakes his head.


    ¡°Jacob told Lucy she was on medication¡± He says.


    ¡°Lucy is her daughter, she has the right to know¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Yeah but if she finds out she is the reason why mum went off the deep end I worry for Lucy, she


    isn¡¯t in the best ce¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± I ask him, confused.


    ¡°Nothing it''s just Amanda, she was always nuts but it doesn¡¯t matter but can you bring her pills


    tomorrow please¡± He says before yawning.


    ¡°I better go, I have to meet Lucy soon and I don¡¯t want her to know I gave you those, she would be


    embarrassed¡±


    ¡°She ising to meet you?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°Yeah she goes to school across the road, didn¡¯t she tell you?¡± He asks and I look at the


    highschool.


    ¡°No she didn¡¯t¡± I tell him before nodding, I wondered why she kept that from us.


    ¡°I will see you tomorrow, maybe stay at ours on the weekend, Lucy might actuallye over if she


    knows you will be there¡± I tell him and he nods.


    ¡°Sounds good¡± He says as the bells ring. He ushers us to leave and I see Jacobs car pull up as we


    are reversing out of the parking lot. He waves looking confused before sitting on the swing beside


    Rayan.


    ¡°I have a feeling there is a lot we don''t know¡± Ace says and I had to agree. We stopped and picked


    up Lucy''s medication on the way home.


    For the majority of the night I tried to get a hold of her but once again she shoved us out after a


    few words. When it hit midnight though I could sense Rayan was up the buzz of the teether when I


    reached out to him was alert before I pushed forward.


    "Why are you up?" I ask him.


    "Lucy sleep walking again, did you get her pills?"


    "Yeah, I wille over" I tell him and he is silent and I could tell he was trying to figure out whether


    to agree or not.


    "Dad is trying to walk her back to bed without waking her, she attacked mest night when I


    identally woke trying to get her back to her room" he says.


    "Be there soon." I tell I''m cutting the link. She never sleep walked when here, it made me wonder if


    it was because she was stressed being back home. It took me 20 minutes to get there but Ryker was


    waiting out the front. Rayan must have told him.


    "Finally you''re here. I need to go to bed, don''t wake her she isn''t lucid when you do" Ryker says


    yawning.


    "Where is she?"


    " Back in bed, I got her toy back down but for how long I don''t know between her and Reika I am


    exhausted and so is Rayan" he says pushing the door open wider. I walk in heading for her room when


    Ryker points at Rayan which was my old room I shared with Ace when I lived here.


    "Don''t ask" he says, walking to the next level to his room. I step inside to find her asleep on the


    trundle. Rayan yawns and I ce the bottle of pills on his bedside table beforeying down next to her.


    "You told your father" I whisper.


    "Not about the pills, he helped me yesterday when Lucy freaked when I woke her" he says fluffing


    his pillow. I tug the nket up around her and she rolls picking up my scent. Even in her sleep her


    heart was racing. Her hands go underneath my shirt seeking the bond so I pull it off before tucking her


    against me. Her heart rate slows and her breathing evens out. Tyrant rxes inside me, finding her


    closeness soothing.


    "I want her home where she belongs" Tyrant tells me, his longing and sadness slipping into me


    despite her being in my arms.


    "I love you Lucy" I whisper to her kissing her forehead but she remains asleep and I snuggle closer


    enjoying the warmth her skin provides.

    Lucy POV


    I wake up and instantly know I am not alone in my bed, tingles spreading everywhere and Tyson''s


    scent fills my senses. I move, pressing my face in his neck and inhaling his scent. How I missed his


    scent. Missed him being close, he felt like home.


    "Lucy, we have to get ready for school," Rayan whispers, shaking my shoulder. I look up to see


    him dressed before moving away from Tyson.


    "When did he get here?" I whisper not wanting to wake him.


    "Last night you were sleepwalking again" Rayan says and sigh. Usually I just climb in with Rayan


    but now I was starting to worry it was disturbing Rayan.


    Rayan tosses me a bottle and I see my medication but the bottle is full.


    "Tyson?"


    "Ace" Rayan tells me and I nod.


    I quickly grab my uniform and change and rush downstairs. The kitchen was quiet and I decided to


    chance it to make lunch, walking out I froze when I saw my mother.


    "Morning" she says all chirpy.


    "Morning mum" I say when she suddenly walks over and hugs me. I stiffen and see Jacob


    watching her before she lets go.


    "I made your lunch, Rayane grab your lunch" she calls, turning and flicking the kettle on.


    "Coffee?" She asks me and I look at Jacob who shrugs before sliding into the stool.


    "Morning mum" Rayan says, handing me a paper bag with my lunch. She actually packed me


    lunch.


    "Isn''t peanut butter and chutney is it?" I ask and sheughs.


    "No sd sandwich and some fruit" she says passing me a mug of coffee.


    I sip it wondering why she was being nice. She almost seemed normal, like when I was a kid.


    "Can you wake Tyson upter?" I mindlink Jacob. I see him nod out of the corner of my eye.


    I watch my mother as she cleans the kitchen, her giant belly getting in her way. She smiles rubbing


    it as she wipes the bench near me before stopping.


    "Wanna feel it" she asks looking at me. I look at it and see her beaming down at me before she


    grabs my hand cing it on her belly. Her belly was hard before I feel a kick. I smile knowing it was my


    baby brother.


    "Picked a name yet?" I ask.


    "Hmm" she hums and I ce my other hand on her belly liking the feel of my brother moving


    around in her. I loved rubbing my mum''s belly when she was pregnant with Rayan.


    "I like Ryden" she says and I nod. I feel him kick again and smile looking at Rayan. "Feel Rayan" I


    whispered to him but he was staring at my mother oddly, not taking his eyes off her. I smile up at her


    before it slips off my face and I jerk my hands away from her to find her ring at me. I swallow and


    she growls before looking at Rayan.


    "Time for school son" she says looking at Rayan and I recognised the change in her voice instantly


    as her wolf Amanda. Jacob hops up and so do I, grabbing my bag. Rayan grabs my hand tugging me


    with him and mum grabs his face giving him a kiss before turning away from me.


    "Love you mum" I tell her but she says nothing. I swallow walking out after Jacob and Rayan.


    "Don''t take it personally Lucy she doesn''t mean it" yet she didn''t look at Rayan like that.


    Jacob takes us to school. My day was fine until I bumped into a boy in the hallway. All day I


    avoided everyone''s radar until then. I knocked him down by ident not seeing him as I turn the


    corner. I offer my hand to help him up and apologise but he ps my hand away. He stands his blonde


    hair falling in his eyes before he growls at me.


    "Must suck being the bastard of the hybrid Queen" he says. I ignore him about to walk past him


    when he grabs my arm, shoving me Into the locker.


    "What nothing to say Lucy, or do you only answer to the teachers you fuck" he says so loudly the


    student around overhear andugh.


    "Whatever" I tell him, wondering how the hell that rumour got around the school.


    "Josie said you fucked half the teachers there, is that why your grades are so high in English, you


    sucking off Mr y too?" He asks. That''s why he was being a prick. I remember him as the kid that


    red at me when I scored higher on the pop quiz. I clench my fist and will myself not to react about to


    walk off.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    "You fucking the principal is that why they let you in?" He asks. I see red, my gums tingling before I


    punch him. His head snaps back, blood spurting from his nose and he shrieks just as the deputy walks


    around the corner. Fuck why didn''t you just ignore him, I mentally scold myself.


    "Lucy ck my office now" she shrieks. I sigh, grabbing my bag and he smirks knowing I was


    getting in trouble not like I actually hurt him, it would heal instantly anyway. I hope it heals crooked. I


    smile at that before trudging to the office.


    "Not even a week and you are already in trouble"


    "He was picking on me" I tell her sitting down when she pulls a chair out telling me to sit.


    "Words can''t harm you, you overreacted. Now I need to call your mother Lucy, this will be a


    suspension" I groan.


    "What about him?"


    "Did he hit you?" She asks, peering at me over her sses.


    "No!" I sulk.


    "What did he say then that would deserve a smack?" I don''t bother telling her, instead folding my


    arms across my chest. Last thing I need is for the teachers to start gossiping too. Bad enough Josie


    spread shit to the kids here. If only Mitchel was there he wouldn;t have been game enough to say shit.


    She looks my name up to get my mother''s details.


    "You''re not living at home Lucy?" She asks and I furrow my brows.


    "Pardon?" I ask.


    "You have Jacob and Ace listed as you contacts"


    I smile hoping she calls Jacob, then I won''t have to worry about my mother.


    "Go sit in the hall while I call your guardians" she says and I snatch my bag off the floor storming


    out.


    I sit in the corridor when Jacob mindlinks me.


    "Lucy what did you do, I can''te in, your mother has gone intobour" I perk up at that news.


    "Really?" I ask excitedly. I was about to grab my bag and rush out of the school to meet her at the


    pack hospital.


    "I will go get Rayan" I tell him.


    "Ryker already did, but I can''te till he gets here" Jacob says.


    "Rayan is already on his way to you?" I ask.


    He pauses.


    "I wille get you when I can" he says.


    "Ok, let me know how mum is, I can walk home if you tell the school then I can ride my bike over to


    the hospital" I tell him wanting to meet my new little brother.


    "Maybe best if you don''t. Amanda has control Luce, I will send Ace" he says before cutting the link.


    My mother didn''t want me toe, Jacob was just too nice to say it outright. It stung.


    I grab my history book out and start reading my notes. I don''t know how long I stayed there before


    I heard footsteps and looked up to see Ace walking down the corridor. He stops in front of me and I


    look up at him.


    "Come on" he says, holding his hand out. I take it and he walks me into the office to sign me out


    and the deputy principales over to him.


    "Jacob said you were picking her up, I exined to him, but Lucy will be suspended for 4 days for


    violence, can I ask why her mother or father isn''t listed on her contacts"


    "Because she doesn''t belong to them" Ace says.


    "Sorry I am confused Ace" she says.


    "Alpha Ace and what happened to the boy that was picking on her?"


    "I sent him to ss, she broke his nose" Ace smirks looking down at me.


    "And?" Ace asks her and she looks confused.


    "I am not sure I know what you are saying Alpha"


    "She broke his nose but what punishment does he get?"


    "I think a broken nose is punishment enough Alpha" Mrs Geld tells him.


    Ace turns to me and bit my lip. This was so embarrassing.


    "Next time Lucy break his jaw, and if he still doesn''t stop I will remove his tongue for you" Ace says


    before ring at the deputy.


    "Alpha I am afraid I can''t have you threatening students, if it continues I will have to bar you from


    school grounds" she says but I hear her voice get softer and softer as she continues to speak looking


    away from him.


    "Do you think your Alpha would tolerate someone speaking shit about his Luna?" Ace asks her.


    "She may be the Alpha¡¯s stepdaughter, but she is still a student here and we don''t condone


    violence Alpha"


    "No but a student talking shit and ndering her name is ok, now if Ryker heard someone talking


    about his Luna like that, student or not what would he do?" She swallows.


    "But Lucy has no title Alpha" oh my god he wouldn''t? Judging by the smirk on his face he would


    and he does.


    "See that is where you are wrong Tina, Lucy has got a title because each is my mate, therefore my


    Luna" he tells her and he eyes dart to me. She goes to say something but he growls and she bares her


    neck to him before nodding her head.


    Ace then grabs my hand, signing the book before shoving the door open and pulling me out after


    him.


    "How did you know?"


    "I mindlinked Mitchel to ask what happened, he saw it but you ran off before he could get to you"


    Ace says squeezing my fingers.


    "He wouldn''t tell me his name though" Ace says but I shake my head.


    "Lucy?" Ace says but I ignore him.


    "If you wanted to go to school why didn''t you tell us, this wouldn''t be an issue at our pack school"


    Ace says.


    "I don''t want people being nice because of who I am mates with Ace," I tell him. He sighs tugging


    me closer and draping his arm across my shoulders before kissing my head.


    "Looks like I will get you for a few days" he says and I look up to say no.


    "What excuse you got this time, you won''t be busy" he says and I close my mouth before nodding.


    "Mum is inbour" I tell him.


    "I know, Ryker rang this morning when he was picking up Rayan, and asked if you could stay with


    us" he says. Was I the only one that didn''t know?


    And why couldn''t I go home just because Amanda was out? We walked out to his car in the staff


    parking lot. I groan when I see Tyson leaning against Ace''s car. He looked like the god he is, well both


    of them did though Tyson was wearing a white shirt with jeans while ace wore a ck one, both drool


    worthy and I found myself excited to go with them especially after this morning and mum¡¯s weird mood.


    ¡°Not happy with you, I was awoken by Jacob why didn¡¯t you wake me. I would have taken you to


    school¡± I shrug.


    ¡°Come on then, we will run you home to grab some stuff then you are staying with us for a few


    days¡± Tyson says and I nod before opening the back door and climbing in.

 Chapter 29

    Chapter 29


    I couldn¡¯t remain still. Rayan had sneakily left the mindlink open to me so he could tell me what¡¯s


    going on. He also told me he didn¡¯t tell me straight away because dad and mum were watching him like


    a hawk. I didn¡¯t get it and Rayan didn¡¯t either. Neither of us could understand why I wasn¡¯t allowed to


    ¡°I don¡¯t get Amanda anymore, she is different and doesn¡¯t even want me here. They nearly had to


    sedate mum to get her to the pack hospital¡± Rayan tells me.


    Mum hated the hospital I knew that much, she refused doctors or anyone inb coat. ¡°Let me know


    when she has him¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Of course Lucy you will be the first person I tell¡± He says just as excited but I could hear his worry.


    ¡°I will let you go, it has been hours and you must be getting tired holding the link open for so long¡± I


    tell him.


    ¡°Ok, I will mindlink as soon as I know what¡¯s going on¡± he says before cutting the link.


    ¡°No baby still¡± Ace asks where he was watching me pace. I shake my head.


    ¡°Lucy sit down, rest for a bit,¡± Ace says, patting the spot next to him. I look at him.


    "Lucye sit, sitting down with me doesn''t mean you have to forgive me. Just rest Rayan will tell


    you when your brother is born" Ace says just as Tyson walks out of his bedroom, his hair still wet from


    having a shower.


    ¡°Any news?¡± Tyson says though I couldn''t tear my eyes away from his exposed chest and abs and


    the deep V-line that escaped into the waistband of his sweatpants.


    ¡°Lucy?¡± Tyson says and I shake my head.


    ¡°What?¡± I ask.


    ¡°I said is there any news¡± I shake my head looking away from him to find Ace smirking at me


    before he shakes his head. My cheeks heat knowing he just busted me checking his brother out, while


    Tyson seemed oblivious thank god.


    ¡°Hungry, what do you want to eat?¡± Tyson asks, walking past me and into the kitchen.


    ¡°Pretty sure she wants to eat you¡± Ace says and I turn to re at Ace.


    ¡°What? You were the one eyeing him like he was a piece of meat¡± Ace says before shrugging.


    While my face got hotter with embarrassment.


    ¡°Leave her alone Ace¡± Tyson snaps at him behind me and Ace growls at him. I watched his eyes


    ze over and knew Tyson was probably arguing with him through the link. I sit down on the couch


    before grabbing my bag and rummaging through it for my pills. I had to take them with food so it would


    be best to take them now since Tyson is cooking.


    Finding them, I get up and grab a bottle of water from the fridge before taking it. Tyson eyes me


    and I sit up on the counter watching him get ingredients to make whatever it is he is making.


    ¡°How long have you been on those?¡± Tyson asks, looking at the bottle.


    ¡°Um, since I went to boarding school¡± I tell him.


    ¡°So you have been taking them for six years?¡± he asks and I shrug. I hear movement behind me


    before looking over and seeing Ace lean on the counter behind me. He grabs the bottle looking at


    them.


    ¡°These are mood stabilisers and sedatives, who would give these to a 12 year old without parental


    permission?¡± Ace asks.


    ¡°You forget, the moment I went to school, my parents signed guardianship over to the school,


    Avery took me¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Avery did?¡± Tyson asks.


    ¡°Well she does own the school and she said it would get worse, said they would help¡±


    ¡°What would get worse?¡± Ace asks and I shrug trying to find a way to exin it.


    ¡°The pain, it¡¯s hard to exin it wasn¡¯t really pain but wasn¡¯t not pain, just debilitating, I don¡¯t know,


    anyway I started sleepwalking and my bloodlust got worse because of it. I attacked Aamon one night,


    demons do not taste very nice¡± I tell them.


    ¡°You bit Aamon?¡± Ace says before chuckling.


    ¡°Yeah apparently I was sleepwalking, he woke me not realising, anyway I came to with my teeth in


    his arm, he tasted burnt¡± I tell him remembering the gross taste, I shake the memory away.


    ¡°Speaking of bloodlust, when did youst feed?¡± Tyson asks, while Ace seemed deep in thought


    for a second as he scratched his face.


    ¡°Two days ago, mum doesn¡¯t keep blood in the house¡±


    ¡°Yeah because your parents feed on each other, Who did you feed off then¡± I bite my lip not


    wanting to say.


    ¡°Rayan?¡± I shake my head.


    ¡°Who then, better not have been Mitchel¡± Tyson growls.


    ¡°No,it wasn''t Mitchel, it was Jacob¡± I tell them and I see Tyson¡¯s eyes flicker.


    ¡°Don''t look at me like that Tyson, either that or I would have to go catch poor bugsy¡±


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ¡°You could have called one of us¡± Tyson says but Ace was still staring at the pills.


    ¡°You have been on these since you were 12?¡± Ace says his brows furrow.


    ¡°Huh, yes I said that¡± I tell him, turning back to face a pissed off Tyson. Who was now staring at his


    brother. ¡°What is it?¡± Tyson asks him when Ace stands up.


    ¡°Nothing, I will be back tomorrow¡± Ace says, pocketing my pills.


    ¡°Wait, where are you going?¡± I ask as he grabs his jacket pulling it on before reaching over the


    counter next to me, he grabs his keys from the fruit bowl before pecking my lips. I jerk away from him.


    ¡°Shit sorry Lucy¡± He says, shaking his head realising what he did.


    ¡°I will see you tomorrow¡± He says walking toward the door.


    ¡®Ace, where are you going?¡± Tyson calls after him.


    ¡°To see Avery¡± He says walking out and not bothering to exin.


    ¡°Wait, ah he took my bloody pills¡± I sigh turning back to Tyson, who was staring at the door.


    ¡°He will be back tomorrow, you don''t need them until then now anyway¡±


    ¡°Why does he want to see Avery?¡± I ask him and he seems puzzled.


    ¡°No idea but don¡¯t change the topic, why didn¡¯t you ring one of us¡± I roll my eyes at him, it wasn¡¯t


    big deal Jacob is gay.


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand why you are upset, Jacob is gay, not like I marked him¡± I tell him.

 Chapter 30

    Chapter 30


    I¡¯m not upset I just prefer you to drink from blood bags or off us, not some random person¡± Tyson


    says before sighing.


    ¡°Jacob isn¡¯t some random person Tyson, he is family, I have known him just as long as I have


    known you¡± I tell him not seeing the big deal about it.


    ¡°That may be so but if your mother wasn¡¯t stocking blood bags you could have rang, or why didn¡¯t


    you tell Ryker he would have made sure there was some there for you" Tyson says, yet I felt like I was


    intruding by being there let alone asking for anything.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, you just need to feed Lucy. Do you want to feed on me or I can go get you get a blood


    bag¡± Tyson says. My face heats but I could see he didn¡¯t really like the idea of a blood bag but I don¡¯t


    think I would be able to bring myself to bite him. It was one thing in the forest I was ravenous but now


    being faced with it, I suddenly felt embarrassed that I was a vampire. I felt dirty for needing blood.


    ¡°Stay here, I will be back soon, I will grab dinner on the way home¡± He says, grabbing his keys and


    pulling a hoodie on. He walks out and I jump off the bench putting everything he pulled out away before


    doing the few dishes in the sink before walking into the living room and changing the channel. I watch


    TV and wait for him to return. I try to mindlink Rayan but I could feel he was asleep, because the link


    was dead and I wasn¡¯t able to force it like he could or Tyson and Ace.


    Feeling for Ryker I push on the link before he opens it. ¡°Hey Luce¡± He said, yet he sounded


    exhausted.


    ¡°How is mum?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°Sedated they are taking her in for a C-section soon¡±


    ¡°Is everything alright?¡± I ask worried.


    ¡°Yes, she isn''t coping with the doctors, I wille get you tomorrow and bring you home to meet


    your brother¡± He says and I fall silent. I was excited about meeting my new brother, excited to see


    Rayan face knowing he is now a big brother. Yet I felt left out.


    ¡°Dad?¡±


    ¡°I know you have questions Lucy, your mother is sick. I wille see you tomorrow, you deserve


    answers. Maybe once you have them you may understand, but it isn¡¯t your mother Lucy, she loves you


    but she is unwell and I can¡¯t keep this from you any more¡± he tells me.


    ¡°But she is going to be ok?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°Yes Lucy, not physically sick, all that time in captivity and everything that happened afterwards


    has taken a toll on her, she is no longer the woman I first met and please understand but I may have to


    hurt her to fix her so please don¡¯t hate me for it¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± I ask, what does he mean to hurt her, why would he need to hurt her.


    ¡°I promise I will exin, Rayan has been pestering me to tell you but I didn¡¯t know how, I wille


    get you tomorrow. I love you lucy¡± He says before cutting off the link.


    I felt sick, I wanted to know what was going on yet I was also too scared now to ask. Why was


    Rayan allowed to know when I wasn¡¯t, why would Rayan keep it from me. I knew the answer to that


    though because Rayan and I had no secrets. So if he is keeping it from me, it was to protect me, but


    from what?


    Hearing the door open, I am pulled from my head and I look over the back of the couch to see


    Tyson walk in with mcdonalds, he walks over and ces food down before hees over and he


    leans over the couch before wrapping his arms around my shoulders with a blood bag in his hand. He


    ces it in my hand. I feel that it isn¡¯t cold like it should be.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    I sniff the air before looking at him. ¡°This is your blood isn¡¯t it?¡± He kisses my cheek before walking


    off back to the kitchen. I punch a hole in it while Tyson brings dinner over and ces it on the coffee


    table. A growl escapes me when his blood floods my mouth, he tasted as good as he smelt, better


    even and I could feel my vision changing, the room turning a red.


    Tyson sits back eating his burger not even fazed by me drinking blood, like it was a can of coke I


    was holding and not his blood.


    They drank blood too, but they could go without it for months if they wanted too, there bloodlust was


    tamed by their wolves when they hunted and they were only half vampire, blood lust seemed to be a


    big issue for the females in his bloodline, like his sisters and mother but the boys picked up more of


    their fathers traits then their mother¡¯s.


    I drain the bag rather quickly and Tyson looks at me. ¡°Do you want more?¡± I shake my head, my


    cheeks heating and I go to get up, unable to be in such close proximity to him. I now smelt like him and


    that was doing strange things to me, making me crave him, crave his scent. Tyson pulls me back down


    on the couch.


    ¡°Don¡¯t feel embarrassed Lucy,¡± He says, grabbing the blood bag from my fingers and chucking it


    on the coffee table before he pulls me closer, wrapping his arm around me and making me lean on him.


    ¡°I like that you smell of me, don¡¯t be embarrassed because you like it too, it''s okay to want to be


    with us Lucy¡± He says, pressing his lips to my head.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you find it weird though, you watched me grow up, saw all my awkward fazes¡± I tell him.


    ¡°No, you got to see ours too, you¡¯re mine. I like knowing everything about you, why is it weird to


    you?¡± He asks.


    ¡°Not really, just everyone will think it odd¡± I tell him.


    ¡°No they won¡¯t, we don¡¯t choose our mates Lucy, and even if we did I would still choose you, have


    Ace and I not shown we have always loved you Lucy, from the moment we found you we have been


    attached to you¡± he says.


    ¡°Yeah but that was the bond, you just didn¡¯t realise it¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Maybe, but before the bond kicked in we still could have chosen to be away from you, we could


    have gone back to our mother, we stayed because we loved you and your mother, and our brother. I


    think I always knew you were going to be ours, even before we realised, that is why I waited¡±


    ¡°You were with Tara for a while though¡± I tell him, she was actually a nice girl, I thought for sure


    they would have been mates.


    ¡°Yes but it never felt right, so we never did anything Lucy, Ace was a dick for not waiting for his


    mate, but I am d I did¡± He tells me.

 Chapter 31

    Chapter 31


    Ace POV


    I was parked out the front of Avery and Aamon¡¯s house, it was a cottage style house. She had


    three houses but this was the main one she lived in with Aamon. From the moment I found out Lucy


    had been on these pills since she was 12 it had been eating at me, now standing out the front of the


    witch hybrid¡¯s house I couldn¡¯t bring myself to go knock on her door and ask her.


    I didn¡¯t want to be to me for her depression yet Atticus even grew silent within me, he


    wholeheartedly believed we were at fault for it too, it was too much of a coincidence that we found out


    she was our mate when she was 12 and she went on these pills at the same age.


    ¡°Do you n to sit outside and admire the house, or are you casing the joint?¡± Aamon says misting


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    beside me and sitting in the passenger seat. I jumped the moment I heard his voice, burnt almonds


    filling my nostrils.


    ¡°You know you could have just tapped on my window¡±


    ¡°Hey you are the one out here moping like the little lost pup you are, Avery has made tea, she has


    been expecting you¡± Aamon says before disappearing again. I sigh, tossing my door open before


    shutting it. The front porch light flickers on and the gardense into view, Avery had a green thumb


    being a witch I suppose she would but her gardens looked more like a exotic forest as I walked the


    stone bath to the porch. The door was open already and I walked inside, I could smell burning incense


    and salty across the entryway.


    ¡°Don¡¯t break the salt line¡± She calls out from the kitchen. I step over it carefully walking down the


    long hallway to the back of the house and passing the dining room and living room.


    ¡°Conjured up some bad voodoo the other day, just a precaution till dad gets here to summon it


    back to hell for me¡± She says, as I step into her huge kitchen.


    ¡°Cookie?¡± She asks, setting them out on the stove.


    It was so weird seeing her baking. She looked like just a normal woman, a housewife. Yet I knew she


    had the power to end the world if she wanted to. I sit at the ind bench on a stool next to Aamon. He


    suddenly mists before returning with a hot cookie in his hands, Avery smacking him with her tongs.


    ¡°You impatient devil spawn¡± She snaps at him and he smiles at her biting into the cookie. She


    raises an eyebrow at him, her eyes sparkling back at him before she turns to me.


    ¡°You are here about Lucy''s pills and about the teacher¡± She says, grabbing some cups and making


    tea, she puts some cookies on a te before setting them down in front of Aamon and I. He instantly


    grabs one.


    ¡°Share Aamon¡± She warns and I smirk at the demon being scolded by her, he was putty in her


    hands. It was clear who wore the pants in their rtionship. Yet it was known he was her antidote for


    her craziness, he had a calming effect on her.


    My father told me when he first met Avery, she was crazed with power, absorbing everything and


    everything she could touch until her father the prince of hell and a gate keeper Asemodeous told her


    she punished Aamon enough and brought him back to try to subdue her, it worked and without him.


    Avalon City may have ceased to exist.


    My father was introduced to her when he was kid, his father came to see her about the hybrids that


    were hunting people down, then he died and my father took over the pack. He got back in touch with


    her through my grandfather Abel when he went looking for a cure to help Lily control her wolf and he


    took Ryker with him and they have been bestfriends for years now.


    ¡°Go on, ask your questions Ace, I have known your family too long, don''t be shy¡± Avery says


    cing the Tea down in front of me. I pick it up and sip it. I hated tea, I was more a coffee drinker but


    she made good tea and I always felt buzzed leaving her ce when I came here making me wonder


    what she put in it.


    ¡°Is Lucy on the pills because of me?¡±


    ¡°Not just because of you, she was raised in captivity Ace the me isn¡¯t all yours, but did you have


    a big impact? yes, yes you did¡±


    ¡°How though, she has no wolf?¡± I ask, resting my head on my hand.


    ¡°You forget she was forced to shift, her wolf died or so I thought yet she still technically shifted, the


    bond would have kicked in when yours did Ace, she was just to young to realise it, to understand it¡±


    ¡°So she could feel it, every time I was with Mna?¡±


    ¡°She couldn¡¯t feel it like we do, but yes she had some sense of it, it caused her pain. She thought it


    was to do with the experiments from the facility, her bloodlust, I wasn¡¯t going to be the one to tell her it


    was because her mate was fooling around¡±


    ¡°But that is why I wanted to speak to you, I was d when I sensed youing¡± Avery says.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Because I noticed something when I saw Lucy the other week, that other issue has been dealt


    with by the way, my father has taken great pleasure torturing him. But back on topic I don¡¯t think Lucy¡¯s


    wolf is dead. I think she is trapped, dormant¡±


    ¡°You think her wolf is dormant, why would you think that? SHe should have shifted by now if that


    was the case¡± I tell her.


    ¡°I thought her wolf was dead, there have never been any signs over the years, well until I saw her


    with both of you, her aura shifted reacted to you both, vampire auras are usually ck, her has always


    been ck, until I came to see her, her aura shifted, changed reacting to you both, like her aura


    drawing on you both, when I removed her mark it turned back to ck but I could see it flickering like


    something was trying to break through, the colour her aura changed to I have only seen in hybrid¡¯s and


    werewolves¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t get it, what are you saying?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m saying you and Tyson are bringing something to the surface and I think it is her wolf, I don¡¯t


    think she died, I think she isatose inside her¡± Avery tells me.

 Chapter 32

    Chapter 32


    Tyson POV


    I loved my scenting off her skin, Tyrant purring in my head having her here, though I was


    concerned for Ace wondering what was up with him. He left so quickly but knew he would return and


    tell me so instead I just spent time with Lucy.


    Rummaging through my DVD¡¯s in the room, I found one I know she always liked a little girlie for my


    tastes but she enjoyed it. I pop it in the DVD yer before walking out of my room to the kitchen


    hearing the microwave ding. The smell of popcorn filling the house before walking back to the room.


    Lucy steps out of my bathroom drying her hair on the towel, before sitting on the edge of the bed.


    ¡°You don''t have to watch it because I like it, pick something else. I know you hate this movie¡± She


    says but I shrug sitting back and watching her dry her hair before she gets up and hangs the towel on


    the bedroom door.


    ¡°Dad mindlinked while I was in the shower, they just took mum in for a c-section. He was going in


    with her, said he would let me know when he arrives¡± I nod to her pulling the nket back for her and


    she climbs in before rolling on her side and propping her pillow up.


    I ce the popcorn in front of her before molding around her and tugging her closer. She stiffens


    for a second before rxing against me and I kiss her cheek before grabbing some popcorn from the


    bowl, she presses y before jamming her feet between my legs making herselffortable.


    Nothing felt more right than this right here. I watch her trying to go unnoticed so she doesn''t think I


    was some kind of creep, yet I noticed her stealing nces at me too. She wasn''t oblivious to the bond.


    My body was definitely not oblivious to the bond as her ass pressed tightly against my front, every


    time she moved I had to fight back a groan as she rubbed her ass against me. I rolled on my back


    trying to hide how badly her being this close affected me, yet she sat up, cing the bowl on the


    bedside table before rolling into me and chucking her leg over me.


    I swallow praying she doesn''t notice or lift her leg any higher.


    Lucy POV


    I snuggle against Tyson, cing my head on his shoulder before pressing my face in his neck. I


    always felt safe with Tyson. I trusted him and it felt good knowing he was mine, knowing I wasn''t some


    mateless freak, knowing he didn''t care that I had no wolf.


    "You right there?" He asks when I press my nose in his neck again inhaling his mouth watering


    scent. Also loving the tingling feeling that raced over my skin and the warm feeling in my belly at his


    closeness.


    "Yep never better" I tell him and he turns his face pressing his lips to my cheek. I move when he


    suddenly grips my knee before pushing it down slightly. And moving over like he was trying to get away


    from me.


    "What?" I ask him. I sit up on my elbow looking down at him, his cheeks turning slightly red and he


    looks at the TV I know he hasn''t been watching. "Tyson?"


    "Lay back down" he says and I chew my lip wondering why he keeps moving away from me.


    "I can sleep in the other room if you want" I tell him, suddenly feeling like he doesn''t want me close


    to him, maybe I was annoying him when I was inhaling his scent.


    "No, of course I don''t want that" he says, tugging me back down. I nestled against him trying to get


    "Tyson if you don''t want me in here just say it, you won''t hurt my feelings" though that was a lie, I


    would feel gutted if he asked me to leave as well as embarrassed at his rejection.


    "Lucy I don''t want you to leave" he says, looking away but I could tell something was wrong with


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    him because he wouldn''t meet my eye.


    "My body is reacting to you being close, I just don''t want you to get the wrong idea" he says.


    "Pardon?" I ask.


    "Lucy I have an erection ok, you haven''t done anything wrong, I don''t want you to leave but I


    understand if now you want to" he says, pinching the bridge of his nose and squeezing his eyes shut.


    He looked like he was ashamed, though I thought it was funny and couldn''t stop theugh from leaving


    my lips as I tried to stifle it.


    "That''s why you''re moving away from me and wriggling like you have ants in your pants?" I


    chuckleying back down.


    "Don''tugh, I didn''t want you to think I was some perv Lucy or feel pressured to do anything"


    "Tyson I have known for like thest hour I could feel it against my back, don''t be embarrassed I


    know how the bond affects you, it affects me the same" I tell him putting my leg back over his waist.


    This time he doesn''t shove it off instead pulls me closer, his hand rubbing my thigh down to my knee.


    Sparks moving everywhere and I feel my stomach clench and shiver at his light caress. He chuckles


    realising the bond does affect me.


    "We don''t have to do anything I just want to make sure you feelfortable, I didn''t mean to be


    short with you" Tyson tells me.


    I nod my head against his chest feeling better knowing he wasn''t rejecting me.


    "It''s fine Tyson, I thought I was annoying you and you wanted me to go" I told him and he sat


    looking down at me.


    "You couldn''t annoy me even if you tried, I like having you close but you can always tell me to go,


    or back off if you are ufortable"


    "I don''t feel ufortable with you, and you have never done anything to make me feel


    ufortable" I chew my lip nervously, yet I was too embarrassed to outright say it.

 Chapter 33

    Chapter 33


    What if he said no? But if I had to choose between them I would choose Tyson to mark me first if


    he wanted to. Ace I couldn''t trust him, not after everything he did, not after Mna but would Tyson


    hate me if I didn''t let Ace mark me?


    "What''s wrong?" Tyson asks, moving his hand and tugging my lip from between my teeth, making


    me realise I actually broke the skin.


    "Lucy, you won''t hurt my feelings just say what you want to say, I can see you are worried about


    something" I shake my head suddenly embarrassed.


    Why did I have to be so awkward when it came to rtionships, probably because I had never


    been in one. But still, the thought of him saying no hurt and I don''t think I could handle that rejection


    and then have to go home to deal with my mother''s rejection too.


    If he said no I would have to go home and I also didn''t want to be stuck there while my family


    yed house and I was expected to watch them happily and pretend it didn''t kill me knowing I was the


    unwanted one, the burden on their perfect family and intruder.


    "Lucy?" Tyson chuckled, making my eyes dart to his, his lips tugging up slightly while his thumb


    brushed my cheek that were ming with my shame.


    "I''m worried you will say no" I tell him.


    "You won''t know unless you ask whatever it is Lucy, yet I don''t think I could say no to you" he says


    leaning down.


    Tyson presses his forehead against mine, his breath fanning my lips. I squeeze my eyes shut


    before blurting it out like word vomit.


    "I want you to mark me" I tell him and he pulls back.


    "You want me to mark you?" He asks like he was making sure he heard me right.


    I nod licking my lips, unable to form words at the look he was giving me. His eyes darted to my lips


    for a second.


    "Why would you think I would say no?" He asks and I look away from him, knowing he was going


    to be angry when he suddenly sighs, making me turn back to him.


    "You don''t want Ace to mark you" he says with a groan and I knew I was right, this would cause


    issues between them.


    "Lucy he is your mate too" Tyson whispers.


    "But if you don''t want him that''s ok too, but please give him a chance to make things right before


    you decide on something permanent. Are you thinking of rejecting him?"


    "I don''t know, I don''t want to but I will, I am not sure I can forgive him Tyson after what he said and


    did"


    "Lucy you reject him it will kill him, just can you wait a little longer before deciding please, if you still


    want to reject himter that''s fine, that''s your choice but I don''t want you to rush into anything, Ace


    loves you Lucy. He is a dick but he would do anything for you"


    "Yeah like keep his dick in his pants or did he stumble and trip into Mna''s vagina? Then he


    called me a slut and took her word over mine"


    "I know what he did, and he made the wrong choice Lucy and he is paying for those mistakes. I''m


    saying you have to forgive and if you choose not I will be fine with you rejecting him, but give him a


    chance is all I am asking" Tyson says, pushing my hair off my neck. His eyes linger there for a second


    before moving back to mine.


    "You don''t want to mark me unless Ace does too" I sigh exactly like I thought.


    "I want to mark you Lucy I just don''t want me marking to sway you over more to reject my brother"


    He says, running his index finger down my neck and I shiver. He smiles at my reaction to his touch.


    "How about you wait until after your birthday in 3 weeks to decide and until then you can mark me"


    "What if I reject him?" I ask, worried he wouldn''t want to mark me yet I would have marked him.


    "I will still mark you Lucy, you are mine and always will be, no matter what you decide to do about


    Ace, he is my brother but you are my mate" His hand moving to the back to the back of my neck, I


    shiver at the the feel of his fingers moving into my hair when he leans his face closer to mine before


    hesitating to see if I pull away.


    I don''t. Instead I close the distance pressing my lips against his and his grip tightens, his fingers


    tangling in my hair tilting my face up. My lips part when I feel his tongue run across the seam of my lips


    and he groans before I feel his tongue brush mine.


    I wrap my arms around his neck tugging him closer as I deepen the kiss, loving how gentle he is,


    loving how safe I feel with him. Tyson moves slightly before his arm hooks under my waist. He moves


    back leaning against the headboard and pulling me onto him, his lips not leaving mine when I find


    myself straddling him.


    His hands run up my thighs to my hips and I could feel his erection beneath me yet he doesn''t


    move, doesn''t grind himself against me but instead his lips move down my chin and jaw to my neck


    before he presses a kiss to where his mark shouldn''ty branding my skin.


    I press myself against him Andi could feel his canines had protruded yet he didn''t sink them in my


    skin even though I wanted him to.


    "I promise, no matter what you decide I will mark you, I will always want you" he whispers against


    my neck before he turns his face offering me his neck.


    "You sure?" I ask him, once I mark him the only person that can remove it is Avery if he changes


    his mind.


    "Yes Lucy, I have waited 6years for you, you are all I want and need" he says cupping my cheek.


    "I only want you," he whispers, erasing all doubt and I nod. I press my lips to his neck and he


    exhales, his body shudders beneath me and I feel my fangs slip from my gums grazing his skin, my


    fangs aching wanting to be embedded in his skin.


    Tyson pulls me closer and I let out breath before sinking my teeth into his neck. He shudders as I


    feel my teeth push through theyers of tissue and muscle. His blood flooding into my mouth and he


    groans, his hand slipping into my hair before I feel the rush of bond.


    A warm feeling spreads throughout me as I feel the bond snap into ce. His emotions rush into


    me like a tidal wave making me gasp and tears blur my vision when I feel nothing but love and


    eptance and his own happiness at me marking him. I pull my teeth from his neck, running my


    tongue over his mark to seal it.


    "I love you Lucy" he whispers against my corbone as he presses his face against me. I push his


    face back so I can see his face.


    "I love you too" I tell him before pressing my lips to his.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.

    Chapter 34


    Waking up to Ryker voices in my head, I roll onto my back to find an extra body in the bed as Ace


    curled up beside me pushing me to the middle of the bed.


    ¡°Hey Lucy, Ryden was born at 1201st night, your mum wants to know if you want toe


    over?¡± Ryker asks.


    ¡°Of course, I cann Tyson to run me out if you want?¡± I reply through the link.


    ¡°That would be good, I am exhausted¡±


    ¡°How is mum?¡±


    ¡°Good, she has asked for you a few times¡± He says and excitement builds at his words, maybe I


    could have my mum back in my life.


    ¡°Ok I will be over as soon as possible, I will get dressed now¡± I tell him before cutting the link.


    Sitting up, I wiggle out from between the pair of them, making me wonder what time Ace came home


    during the night.


    I shake Tyson''s shoulder and he mumbles before leaning down and kissing his cheek, his eyes


    open groggily before his lips tug up slightly.


    ¡°Mum had baby Ryden, can you run me home?¡± I whisper to him. He nods yawning before tossing


    the nket back and standing. He stretches his arms above his head before turning around before he


    points to Ace. His brows furrowed and it was clear he also wasn¡¯t aware Ace came home during the


    night.


    ¡°When did Ace get back?¡± He asks and I shrug unsure.


    ¡°Woke up and he was here,¡± I could feel Tyson¡¯s nervousness through the bond and my eyes dart


    to his neck where my marky on his skin.


    ¡°Let me shower first to wake up, then I will take you to meet your brother¡± Tyson says before


    walking to the ensuite. I go to move off the bed when Ace¡¯s arm reaches over grabbing me and pulling


    me back to him, his eyes opening as he pulls me down to face him.


    ¡°What time did you get home?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°Couple of hours ago¡± He says, closing his eyes again, he buries his face into the crook of my


    neck.


    ¡°Just stay for a few minutes¡± He whispers when I try to pull away from him. I sighying there and


    letting him breathe in my scent. I his wolf purring making the sound rumble out him before he clears his


    throat trying to get him to Atticus to stop.


    ¡°Please don;t punish my wolf for what I did¡± Ace finally says as Iy there awkwardly.


    ¡°Your wolf could have stopped you from doing the things you did Ace, he is just as much to me


    as you¡± I tell him. Ace shakes his head but doesn¡¯t say anything.


    ¡°Can i get up now, I need to get dressed¡± I tell him and he rolls on his back releasing me from his


    grip. I climbed out of bed before rummaging through my bag of clothes, I really needed to buy some


    more clothes. I was alternating between three pairs of pants and a shirt, tank top and a jumper as well


    as Tysons clothes. Crouching on the ground as I pulled what minimal clothing I had here out. I pull


    Tysons shirt off before slipping my tank top on.


    ¡°Why do you torture us like that?¡± Ace grumbles making me look over my shoulder.


    ¡°It''s just skin,¡± I tell him. Before pulling my jeans on and buttoning them up. I then look for a hair


    brush before realising I don¡¯t have one here and settle for tying my hair in a messy bun. Knocking on


    the bathroom door, I hear Tyson sing out.


    ¡°You cane in Lucy¡± Tyson says and I quickly slip in, grabbing the spare toothbrush from the


    holder and rinsing my mouth before brushing my teeth. Jumping onto the basin I turned to face Tyson


    who was showering. ¡°Perv,¡± He says.


    I shrug not caring in the slightest I was gawking at him. And through the bond I could tell her


    wasn¡¯t the least bit self conscious of my gaze, or seemed to mind. My eyes roaming over his body as I


    soak him in before nearly choking on my spit and gagging on my toothbrush when I catch sight of what


    lies between his legs. Tyson chuckles, shaking his head at me.


    ¡°Bit of more than you can handle Luce¡± Heughs, not even bothering to hide himself as he stood


    watching my heating face.


    ¡°Pretty sure that''s more than most can handle, you must have got all the dick in the family¡± I tell


    him rinsing my mouth.


    ¡°You can¡¯t judge that yet Lucy, you have only seen him,¡± Ace says from the doorway.


    ¡°I assuming yours would be the same you are Identical twins after all¡±


    ¡°Not everything is Identical¡± Ace says his eyes flickering as he looks me up and down. Tyson


    throws the wet loofah at him and Ace catches it tossing it in the sink.


    I hand Tyson a towel and he shuts the water off before wrapping it around his waist and stepping out.


    Ace¡¯s eyes instantly go to Tyson¡¯s neck before his eyes move to mine. He swallows, his lips pressing


    together slightly befor ehe ducks his head and leaves the room. I look at Tyson who was staring after


    him and I could feel Tyson¡¯s guilt, yet he also didn¡¯t regret letting me mark him.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°You ok?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°He will get over it¡± He says simply walking out and to his dresser. He gets dressed and I sit on the


    edge of the bed, not wanting to leave the room and face Ace again. Tyson gets dressed into some


    jeans and a ck shirt before slipping his runners on.


    ¡°Come on¡± He says holding his hadn out to me and I take it. We start walking down the hall when


    Tyson stops suddenly and I look up at him. His eyes zed over and he growls. Acees out of his


    room looking annoyed and Tyson refocuses on the room before looking down at me.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Alpha Jamie is at the border requesting I meet him¡± Tyson says.


    ¡°I can go '''' Ace says leaning on the doorframe of his room with his arms folded over hsi chest.


    ¡°Nost time you ended up in a punch up with him, I will go. You can run Lucy home and meet me


    out there¡± Tyson says and Ace nods.


    ¡° I will get my keys,¡± Ace says, walking out and toward the kitchen. Tyson kisses my head.


    ¡°I need to go, but will see youter this afternoon¡± He says walking off leaving me in the hall as he


    stripped his shirt off, it must be serious if he was shifting and running there.


    ¡°Come on Lucy¡± Ace calls to me and I finally move to catch up with him as he walks


    outside.

    Ace barely said anything the entire car ride home. It was tense and silent as I stared out the


    window watching the scenery go past. We were nearly all the way home before he even spoke.


    ¡°So did you and Tyson¡± He didn''t finish yet his grip on the steering wheel tightened but I knew what


    he meant.


    This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Did we have sex?¡± He said nothing but I knew I was right with the way he swallowed and his eyes


    flickered for a second.


    ¡°No we didn¡¯t, not that it would be any of your business if we did¡± I tell him. He nods, turning at the


    cross section.


    ¡°Would you really be mad if we did?¡± I ask him, shocked at his strange reaction, all this because I


    marked Tyson.


    ¡°No, Lucy I wouldn''t, I was just curious¡± He pauses for a second looking at me before looking


    away. ¡°Tyson waited, I get it and you should be with him¡± Ace says letting out a breath.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t let Tyson mark you?¡± Ace says pulling up in the driveway of the packhouse and stops


    the car.


    ¡°No I asked him too, he wouldn¡¯t¡± I tell him and Ace pulls the keys from the ignition before turning


    to face me.


    ¡°What, Why?¡± He asks, seeming confused.


    ¡°Because I haven¡¯t marked you that''s why¡± I tell him, a little pissed off. Ace looks out the windshield


    and nods.


    ¡°But you want him to?¡± He asks and I chew my lip nervously but nod.


    ¡°I¡¯ll speak to him, he shouldn;t feel guilty for the mess I made of everything¡± He says, opening the


    car door and getting out.


    I open my door and get out of the car. Ace walks over to me and walks to the front door with me.


    ¡°Are you excited?¡± He asks.


    ¡°Yes, but nervous how mum will be¡± I tell him and he reaches over and grabs my hand before he


    squeezes my fingers. ¡°You can alwayse home Lucy, whether or not you decide to let me be with


    you, it is your home¡± Ace says before letting go. I was just about to knock when the front door was


    thrown open and Rayan tackled me. He squeezes his arms around my middle and I kiss the top of his


    head.


    ¡°God this ce is boring without you¡± Rayan says, squeezing me tighter and I hug back excited to


    have him close again.


    ¡°How¡¯s mum?¡±


    ¡°Good, better¡± He says before noticing Ace next to me.


    Rayan turns and folds his arms across his chest and staring him down.


    ¡°Rayan?¡± Ace arches a brow at the re Rayan was giving him, if he didn¡¯t onlye up to Ace¡¯s


    stomach I would actually be worried by the deadly re Rayan was giving him.


    ¡°If I was Alpha I would have banished you from the pack for what you did to Lucy '''' Rayan telsl him


    and I snort before muffling myughter.


    ¡°Good thing your not Alpha, what are you going to do pip squeak?¡± Ace asks.


    ¡°I should punch you in the mouth for just being in her presence¡± Rayan growls at him.


    ¡°If you could reach short stuff¡± Ace says when suddenly Rayan punches him in the nuts. I choke on


    my spit when Ace drops clutching his balls, his face turning red when he drops to his knees and Rayan


    pulls his arm back before punching him in the face as hard as he could, which probably wasn;t hard but


    he definitely showed Ace he could punch him in the mouth.


    Ace growls at him and reaches for him but I pull Rayan back to me before Ace smacks his


    nephew''s ass. ¡°That¡¯s for my sister¡± Rayan spits at him before walking inside like he was the king of the


    world. I chuckle before offering my hand to Ace, he growls but takes it and I pull him up.


    ¡°Think the little shit just popped one of my testicles out my ass¡± He says, adjusting himself just as


    Rykeres out.


    ¡°Lucy?¡± He says shocked like he didn¡¯t realise we were here yet.


    ¡°Your mother was just asking when you would get here¡± He said, chucking his arm across my


    shoulders and pulling me toward the stairs.


    ¡®What was it you had to tell me?¡± I ask him, but he shakes his head.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t matter, everything seems better now, she has been good Lucy like when you were a kid¡±


    Ryker says as we walk up the steps. Ace follows us up and we stop out the front of my parents


    bedroom door.


    ¡°Lucy she is good I promise, I think she is getting better¡± Ryker tells me but yet I still didn;t


    understand, better from what?


    He opens the door and I see my mother sitting on the bed with my brother in her arms bundled in a


    nket. Her eyes lighting up when she saw me and grin lights up her face.


    ¡°Lucy¡± She says excitedly waving me over and I move toward her sitting on the bed beside her. I


    tuck the nket back wrapped around his small body, to look at his little face. He looked so much like


    Rayan, with his dark luscious locks of hair and silver eyes. It was definitely a family trait amongst the


    males in the ck family.


    ¡°You want to hold him?¡± My mother asks and I nod eagerly. I hold my arms out making sure to


    support his little head when she passes him to me.


    ¡°Hello Ryden¡± I whisper to him, he yawns, his eyes fluttering shut as I hold him.


    Acees over looking at him. He strokes the back of Ryden¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Reminds me of Rayan,¡± Ace says and I nod.


    ¡°How do you feel?¡± I ask my mother, turning to look at her.


    ¡°Tired, but better¡± She says looking at my stepfather. He nods to her and my brows furrowed in


    confusion.


    ¡°Your birthday is next week, are you staying home, I can help you set up your room¡± She says


    yawning.


    ¡°I will stay but I will just stay in Rayan¡¯s room¡± I tell her.


    ¡°You sure Lucy I can have a few people fix your room¡± Ryker asks but I shake my head.


    ¡°I''ll stay a few days but I want to go home back to Ace and Tyson¡¯s¡± I tell him and he nods. I look at


    Ace to make sure he meant what he said and he leans down kissing my head. But this was no longer


    home, home isn¡¯t meant to be ufortable and being here I felt like I was walking on eggshells,


    home was with them, as much as I denied it they were home.


    ¡°Can Ace have a hold of him?¡± I ask my mother who nods. I could tell Ace was waiting to get his


    hands on him, he loved kids and the moment I asked he already had his hands out for him. I passed


    him to him and Ryden looked tiny in his arms. ¡°Hey little man¡± Ace says, sitting next to me with Ryden


    in his arms.


    After a few minutes Ace says he has to go and give Ryden back to mum. I walk him downstairs to


    the door.


    ¡°Mindlink if you want toe home, one of us wille get you¡± Ace says before hesitating as he


    turns before turning back to me. He tugs me to him hugging me and I let him before hugging him back.


    ¡°I will speak to Tyson for you¡± He whispers but I shake my head.


    ¡°No, Lucy he doesn¡¯t need to feel guilty for me¡± Ace says before pulling away and walking back to


    his car. I watch him leave before walking back up to see mum and spend time with her and my


    brothers.

 Chapter 36

    Chapter 36


    The first three days were great at home. Mum was in a great mood, and it reminded me of when


    Rayan was born. I was joined at her hip always wanting to help and I was d to see mum let me with


    Ryden. Rayan was just as excited and for three days everything was like when I was kid, we were one


    happy family. I was excited to have my mother back and I could tell Rayan was too. That excitement


    dimmed though when I walked into the kitchen. Waking up a little earlier than normal I walk into the


    kitchen to find Rayan crushing pills with a spoon on a piece of paper before I watch him tip in a cup of


    coffee. Mum had beenining that the coffee tasted funny and I thought it odd that Rayan was


    getting up early every morning to make her morning coffee and now I knew why.


    ¡°Rayan?¡± I whisper yell to him, snatching the bottle of pills off him. He presses a finger to his lips


    pointing to the roof.


    ¡°Does dad know you are doing this?¡± I ask him and he shakes his head.


    ¡°She isn¡¯t breastfeeding and I heard the doc tell her she could take them while pregnant so they


    wouldn¡¯t harm Ryden¡±


    ¡°What if she caught you, you don¡¯t just go around drugging people Rayan, how long?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°I had no choice, Lucy. Amanda is a monster and dad¡­..dad¡± He doesn¡¯t finish.


    ¡°Dad what Rayan, what aren¡¯t you telling me?¡±


    ¡°Dad and the doctors were talking about killing mum¡¯s wolf off, making her dormant¡±


    ¡°What? How that doesn¡¯t make sense¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Bymanding Amanda to never shift, to nevere forward again unless dad calls upon her,


    mum won¡¯t be able to shift or speak to her wolf without dad, but the pills are working, they didn¡¯t work


    before but they are now¡± Rayan tells me.


    ¡°So dad thinks she just got better, what are you going to do when you run out of pills?¡± I ask him


    and I knew instantly with the way he looked at me.


    ¡°You were going to get me to get them off Tyson¡± I tell him and he nods and I sigh. I look at the


    bottle and see they are the same as mine but a way stronger dose.


    ¡°You need to tell dad Rayan, he will go ballistic if he finds out you were keeping this from him for


    too long¡± I tell him and he nods.


    ¡° I will tell him tonight I promise, but I just wanted our family back together, I wanted mum back¡± He


    says tears are brimming in his eyes and I pull him to me. He wraps his arms around me and I kiss the


    top of his head.


    ¡°I know buddy, so do I¡± I tell him before grabbing a teaspoon and putting an extra teaspoon of


    sugar in it. Rayan looks at me.


    ¡°I heard mum say yesterday the coffee tasted funny to dad¡± I tell him and he nods before taking the


    mug and the te of toast up to her.


    I follow him up and watch as he gives it to her, she thanks him and asks if I can take Ryden and


    change him. I nod, picking him up out of his bass and Rayan slips out of the room. I change Ryden


    and turn around to find her passed out asleep. I quickly move to remove the mug from her fingers


    before she tips the scolding coffee on herp and ce it on the bedside table with her toast. Using


    one arm to cradle Ryden I pull the nket up under her chin before grabbing his bottle and walking


    downstairs.


    ¡°Did she drink it?¡± Rayan whispers.


    ¡°She fell asleep


    Before she could¡± I tell him and he appears to be worried. I knew those pills had to be taken at the


    same time everyday, but if I woke her and insisted she drink she would be suspicious.


    ¡°Tell dad when he gets home¡± Rayan nods and I walk into the living room and settle on the lounge


    deciding to let mum sleep while she can. I knew she was exhausted, I heard mum and dad up during


    the night constantly, sleep wasn¡¯t something they were getting much of.


    Mum must have been tired because she slept nearly all day. Rayan and I both watched Ryden


    taking turns at feeding him while I did all the nappy changes because Rayan gagged when he tried to


    change a dirty diaper. Iughed before taking over. Hearing movement upstairs Rayan looks up.


    ¡°Mum is up¡± He says pausing the movie we are watching. He gets up.


    ¡°I will go let her know Ryden is down here and see if she needs anything¡± Rayan says I nod to him.


    Ryker mindlinked us earlier saying he was bringing dinner home and should be home soon. I hear


    Rayan walking up the steps before his feet stop and I could hear the worry in his voice as he spoke.


    ¡°Amanda?¡± He says and I get up with Ryden in my arms. I hear a growl making me move quicker


    when I hear Rayan running down the stairs. Mum¡¯s voice carrying through the house.


    ¡°You took him¡± She growls at him just as I reach the corner of the living room and turn into the


    foyer. Rayan almost ran into me.


    ¡°Mum you okay?¡± I ask her. Rayan was right, this wasn¡¯t mum, but Amanda and she stops her


    head cocking to the side as she looks at me before her eyes dart to Ryden in my arms. Her ws


    slipping from her fingertips.


    ¡°Get dad or Jacob here¡± I mindlink Rayan as she takes a predatory step toward me.


    ¡°You would betray me like this son and give your own brother to them after what they did¡± Amanda


    snaps at Rayan who cowers behind me. I swallow this was not my mother and I had never seen


    Amanda like this before.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ¡°Mum what are you talking about, I have Ryden right here, see he is safe¡± I tell her trying to calm


    her, but her eyes were wild her aura slipping pout slightly and I fight the urge to whimper when I feel


    Rayan hand on my back, his own aura so much weaker then hers but keeping me up as I be


    trapped between.


    ¡°Give him to me¡± Amanda snarls at me.


    ¡°He is safe mum, I have him look¡± I tell her not wanting to give him to her while her ws were


    extended and canines protruding, her entire body was raging with anger and she could hurt him and


    Rayan must have had the same thought when his voice flitted in my head.


    ¡°Give me Ryden, dad and Jacob are on their way¡± He says.


    ¡°You are exactly like your father, I knew you would be like him, a fucking monster luike him, I wont


    let you take him form me¡± Amanda growls and I pass Ryden to Rayan just as my mother lunges at


    me.

 Chapter 37

    Chapter 37


    Mum tackles me before I even turn back to her. Rayan screams jumping out of the way as I crash


    into the wall.


    ¡°Mum, it''s Lucy. I am your daughter¡± I scream at her when she ps me. My face whips to the side


    before she gets up. ¡°You''re Not my daughter you¡¯re his¡±. She says and I crawl to my hands and knees.


    ¡°Now GIVE ME MY SON, YOU WILL NOT TAKE HIM FROM ME¡± she screams at Rayan. Rayan


    steps away from her just as I get to my feet. Amanda growls at him and raises her arm back to hit but I


    catch her wrist ripping her backwards.


    ¡°Run¡± I yell to Rayan and he darts off.


    Mum''s hand connects with my cheek, her ws slicing down my face. Her other hand twisting in


    my grip. She raises her hand again to hit me when I punch her. I don¡¯t know who was more shocked,


    me or her but I still did it, as her head snapped backwards. She growls at me before attacking me.


    ¡°I hate you, you are a monster just like him¡± She screams hitting me wherever she could.


    ¡°I am not him mum, I am yours not his¡± I yell at her and she stops shaking her head pulling her hair


    out, she was manic and I could tell whatever she saw looking at me took her back there yet I couldn¡¯t


    understand it. I was not my father.


    ¡°I am your daughter Amanda, yours, not his I would never take him from you¡± I tell her but she


    scratches her face, wing at herself and hitting herself. ¡°You are like him, everytime I look at you I see


    him, you are him, you look exactly like him¡± She screams, her chest rising and falling heavily.


    ¡°I am not him¡± I tell her, tears streaking my face. Did I make her this way, is that what she saw


    every time she looked at me?


    ¡°YOU ARE¡± She screams at me and I shake my head.


    ¡°Everytime I look at you I remember what they did, remember what he did to me, you are¡± Her


    words angered me, how could she, how could she see him and not me.


    Getting to my feet I growl at her. ¡°I am not my father¡±


    ¡°You, you,you¡± She rambles.


    ¡°You did this to me, you let them do this to me¡± She says and I could see she lost it, she wasn¡¯t of


    sound mind, she was erratic and Amanda was the dominant one now, more dominant then her human


    counterpart.


    ¡°I didn;t do shit to you, you think you were the only trapped in that ce¡± I yell at her and she


    growls stepping toward me but I shove her, shocked by my own strength and anger behind it.


    ¡°You weren''t the only one in that ce, they did the same shit to me, the only difference is you got


    out with all of you still intact. They killed part of me, you think you''re the only one that suffers with what


    they did, what they put us through Amanda¡± I scream at her.


    ¡°They destroyed me¡± She screams just as the door bursts open. Yet she doesn¡¯t notice.


    ¡°You everytime I look at you I see him,see that ce¡±


    ¡°And everytime I look at you I am reminded how I will never be good enough for you, never be the


    good child, you say I am like him but look at the monster you turned into¡± I snap at her. Her ws slip


    into my arms as she grabs me.


    ¡°Amanda let her go,¡± Ryker says behind me.


    ¡°She was trying to take him from me¡±


    ¡°You aren¡¯t stable to have him, you are taking him from her, you are taking him from mum, not us¡± I


    tell her pushing her back, her ws slipping from my skin but I barely register the pain. Rayanes in


    tears streaking his face and Jacob pulls him behind him motioning for me toe to him. I turn to go to


    him.


    ¡°This is your fault,¡± Amanda screams before she is charging at me. Ryker grabs me shoving me


    behind him and taking the brunt of her attack when I feel his aura slip out and Amanda whimpers


    dropping to floor wailing and I to am forced to my knees, my head feels like it is about to explode, when


    Jacob¡¯s hand wraps around my wrist before jerkling me toward him. Rayan''s hand fell on me and I


    wondered how I never noticed his aura before his aura got stronger each time I felt him use it, making


    me wonder how my brother was able to hide it so easily.


    But it exined how he was always able to get out of school easily.


    I turn facing my mother who was on the ground at my stepfather''s feet, she whimpers and Ryker


    looks over his shoulder at Jacob. Tears running down his face and it was the first time I had seen my


    stepfather on the verge of breaking down, his voice stuttering as he spoke.


    ¡°Get them out of here, they don¡¯t need to witness this¡± He says to Jacob and he nods, pulling me


    and Rayan out of the house. Rayan holds Ryden and I take him from him. I hear mum scream and my


    heart clenches as the cool night air brushes over us. I knew they would be battling out Alpha Aura¡¯s


    making me wonder how much of his aura Ryker would have to use to make Amanda shut down


    break her like that. Rayan whimpers beside me and I tug him closer when Jacob''s hands slip over his


    ears as mum''s screams grow louder. Tears slipped down my cheeks listening to her agony like she was


    being tortured, but I knew he had no choice; this was the only way to help her.


    The listening to her screams was a form of torture on its own and I could feel my heart break for


    her, I know exactly what its like to have that part of you die and it is the lonilest feeling when you lose


    yourself. Ryden starts crying and shh him rocking and covering his ears to her deafening screams


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    while Jacob shields Rayan¡¯s who I could tell was focusing on breathing and counting when I feel warm


    hands slip over my own and I am tugged backwards against a warm body. Tyson¡¯s scent floating


    around me and I bury my face in his chest soaking him in my tears, I could tell he ran here by the fact


    he only had shorts on.


    ¡°Ace!¡± Ryker yells through the link and I turn my face to see a shirtless Ace walk inside the house


    closing the door behind him. I look up at Tyson and his voice moves through my head.


    ¡°Your mother is stronger and can endure more pain than most, Pain is something Amanda is


    familiar with Ryker is having trouble breaking her will, Ace is helping Ryker¡± Tyson says and I know Ace


    would also be helping torture Amanda into submission. Her screams get louder when I feel Tyson open


    up the link to Jacob, Rayan, Ryden and me and fill it with the pack chatter to drown out my mother¡¯s


    screams. Tyson kisses my forehead before tucking the nket around Ryden up a little more to cover


    him before pressing closer to me and using our body heat to keep him warm.

    Chapter 38


    Ace¡¯s POV


    Ryker was a mess as Amanda finally gave into ourmands, her screams made my ears ring


    and I have never been so sickened by torture before and had a new respect for mental torture. It made


    my stomach turn as she copsed on the floor at our feet, both of us were torn to pieces by her wolf


    fighting themands. Amanda was in some ways unaffected being she was Ryker¡¯s mate yet the


    pain he was enduring not only doing it but feeling through the bond was heartbreaking.


    Reikay in a huddled heap on the floor at his feet, his chest rising and falling heavily and he was


    sweating profusely. Tears streaked his face as he bent down with shaky hands to grip the tops of her


    arms.


    ¡°Get away from me¡± Reika snaps, her voice trembling as much as she is, Reika ps his hands


    away before she starts sobbing. I couldn¡¯t imagine having my wolf forced into submission like that,


    forced to go dormant and have the sudden chatter stop, the loneliness in her own head must be a form


    of torture in its own.


    Ryker falls to his knees beside her pulling her to him, his fingers gently brushing her hair. ¡°I had no


    choice, I won¡¯t let her destroy you¡± He whispers to her. Reika¡¯s hands clutch his shirt in a fist as she


    clings to him.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry but we talked about this, she was hurting you, hurting our kids¡± Ryker tells her and she


    nods yet it was obvious she just paid the ultimate sacrifice for her family. Not only did she lose her wolf


    for them but she basically just tossed all her freewill away, something I know had been holding him


    back from doing this earlier.


    Ryker could justmand her now and she would be unable to defy him. Effectively stripping her


    of her title even though she would remain Queen and by his side, he had the ultimate control and


    against him she would be a puppet on some strings.


    ¡°I know¡± She cries, pressing her face into his chest. The amount of trust she must have in him to


    allow him to take her freewill was obvious, she trusted him to make the right choices, trusted him


    ¡°Lucy?¡± She asks looking up at him.


    ¡°She is with Ryden and Rayan¡±


    ¡°She must hate me, she must hate me for everything¡± Reika tells him.


    ¡°She knows it wasn¡¯t you, she knows Amanda was unstable and suffering¡± Reika shakes her head


    and starts crying again.


    ¡°I hurt her, the things Amanda said to her '''' Reika says crying harder but Ryker presses his chin on


    her head tucking her to his chest.


    ¡°She knows it wasn¡¯t you¡± Ryker tells her before he looks at me. I nod to him, turning and opening


    the door to let them know it was safe toe in. I wondered if Lucy would hate me for participating in


    her mothers torture but It needed to be done. Amanda had be more estranged, more unstable


    and the PTSD was uncontroble and not only ruining her family but her mother.


    Tyson nods to the door and Lucy turns to see me standing there. Jacob was trying to calm down


    an upset Rayan, while Lucy cradled her brother in her arms.


    ¡°Rayan it''s over, we can see her¡± Lucy tells him and I could barely just make out her voice. Rayan


    looks at her and she nods toward the house and his eyes dart to the open door before rushing to it. He


    stops next to me and Lucyes up behind him giving him a nudge when he doesn¡¯t enter. Both of


    them stare at their mother on the floor in Rykers arms and Reika looks up at them before sighing in


    relief when she spots they are ok.


    ¡°Mum¡± Rayan asks, looking at his father for confirmation that it was her. Ryker nods to him and


    Rayan throws himself in her arms. She kisses his face, clutching him and stroking his face with her


    hands. Lucy chews her lip and Ryden stirs in her arms making her look down at him, he sucks his


    fingers and Jacob steps inside.


    ¡°I will go make him a bottle¡± He says kissing Lucy¡¯s head on the way past as he walks toward the


    kitchen.


    ¡°Jacob?¡± Reika calls out to him and he stops looking at her.


    ¡°Thank you¡± She tells him and he nods to her.


    ¡°Anytime Luna¡± He says to her before walking off. It was no secret that he was specifically


    assigned to Reika because she shouldn¡¯t be on her own, the amount of times he has copped the brunt


    of Amanda''s anger was nearly as much as Ryker has trying to protect his kids from her unstable wolf.


    Jacob was always willing to throw himself in harm''s way to protect Rayan, and to protect Reika from


    herself.


    Ryden cries out and Lucy rocks him tapping his bum before looking at her mother and stepfather. I


    could see she was wondering if it is safe to hand him over. I had no doubt Lucy would die before letting


    her mother hurt brothers, but she need not worry now. Reika looks up at her and I watch her lip


    tremble, the guilt on her face for what she has done over thest couple of weeks was obvious.


    It was one thing when Lucy was away most of the time, but Lucy came home while Reika was


    struggling the hardest because she was pregnant and if she wasn¡¯t I doubt it would have got to this


    level, Reika and Ryker had always been careful to hide this from her though I don¡¯t know why they kept


    it secret but we all knew something was going with Reika. Everyone saw the change in my brother, but


    it goes to show nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors.


    ¡°It¡¯s ok mum¡± Lucy tells her, walking over to her, she bends down cing Ryden in her mothers


    arms before kissing her mother¡¯s head and stepping back.


    ¡° I messed everything up didn¡¯t I?¡± Reika asks looking up at her and Lucy shakes her head.


    ¡°I know it wasn¡¯t you¡± Lucy tells her but I could hear how destroyed she was, I could see she


    med herself for her mothers psychosis. ¡°Amanda is me, a part of me but I think things will be better


    now¡± Reika says and I think she was also telling herself that. Like saying it outloud would fix everything.


    ¡°I know, you will get better¡± Lucy tells her, stepping away and toward us. It was weird watching


    Lucy watch them and I could truly understand why she felt like such an outsider, looking at Reika and


    Ryker with both boys in their arms despite looking like crap, they looked like the perfect family and Lucy


    was the odd one out. She didn¡¯t look like them except sharing her mother¡¯s eyes and hair colour. You


    could tell she wasn¡¯t Ryker¡¯s daughter and you could tell she took after her father because her facial


    features were nothing like her mother¡¯s, Lucy''s were softer and not so stern looking, though Reika was


    beautiful but Lucy was different, her features softer smoother and not as prominent like Reika¡¯s.


    ¡°You cane home now, it will be safe for you toe home¡± Ryker tells her but Lucy shakes


    her head.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t my home,¡± Lucy tells him and I could tell by the look on her face that she never really felt


    at home here, or anywhere. The facility was the only true home Lucy had and the one ce she spent


    the longest to call home. Even after we got her back she went to boarding school when she was 12 she


    had spent more time in school and in the facility then she ever did at home, No wonder nowhere felt


    like home to her, no sense of belonging because she never belonged anywhere just existed and the


    three ces she called home had only destroyed her taking that sense of belonging from her.


    ¡°Lucy¡± Reika says, hurt shining in her eyes.


    ¡°It''s ok mum, you have the boys to look after, you don¡¯t have to worry about me¡± Lucy tells her


    smiling sadly.


    ¡°Lucy this will always be your home¡± Ryker tells her but Lucy shakes her head and I Knew what


    she was going to say before she even said it and I could see she really felt that way, felt like the


    mistake.

    ¡°This was never my home, I don¡¯t have a home. I belonged here as much as I belonged in that


    facility, I was never supposed to exist, in a perfect world only those in your arms would. I was never


    meant to be part of this, I was just chucked into the picture by a mad man¡±


    ¡°Lucy you are our daughter, of course you belong here. I never would have survived that ce if it


    weren¡¯t for you, you kept Amanda going¡± Reika tells her.


    ¡°But that''s the thing mum, you didn¡¯t survive that ce, you just thought you did. And I was just the


    reminder that sometimes slipped through telling you you didn¡¯t survive, not really, notpletely¡± Lucy


    tells her, Reika hangs her head shaking it.


    ¡°Are you leaving me Lucy?¡± Rayan asks just as Jacobes out. He hands a bottle to Ryker who


    then takes Ryden from Reika.


    ¡°No, I will never leave you but I can¡¯t stay here Rayan¡± She tells him and he nods.

    Lucy POV


    ¡°Lucy?¡± Tyson asks as I close the bathroom door. I couldn¡¯t wait to get away from there. I was the


    reminder, the pain that broke my mother and in turn broke myself. I Couldn''t stand the guilt on her face,


    I couldn''t stand the guilt I felt towards her. Knowing everyone knew I was to me sucked. I hated that


    they all hid it from me, if I had known I never would havee home at all.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine Tyson, I just want to shower and go to bed¡± I tell him. Ace had been silent all night since


    we left. No one knew what to say or think, what do you say when you know you are the reason


    someone is so mentally unstable they literally had to kill off a piece of themselves. Sorry doesn¡¯t seem


    like a good enough word.


    I hear him still hovering near the main bathroom door, hear his weight creaking the floorboards.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine go to bed Tyson¡± I tell him and I hear him sigh before walking off. I turn the shower on and hop


    in. I washed quickly wanting to go to sleep so this day would be over and done with. Forget for a while


    that my life wasn¡¯t some huge disappointment and overall fuck up. Getting out, I quickly brush my teeth


    before rinsing my mouth. I chuck on my panties and Tyson shirt to wear to bed before towel drying my


    hair. When I am done I sneak into one of the guest rooms before climbing on the bed and crawling


    under one of the covers.


    Everyone lied to me, they all pretended nothing was wrong and kept it from me. Rayan even kept it


    from me. I made sure to lock the door.


    I just wanted to be alone, alone with my own thoughts. I wondered if I would ever build a rtionship


    with my mother again. How do you build on that when all we seem to do is cause each other pain, we


    were each other''s punching bags and each other''s guilt.


    My eyes felt like sandpaper and burned from my tears but eventually I sumbed to sleep though.


    I was woken by a loud banging. I waited for one of them to answer the door, but when the banging got


    worse I hauled myself out of bed.


    Tossing the door open, someone was pounding on the door. I see a post it stuck to the bench and


    pick it up and read it.


    Got an urgent call to the borders, mindlink when you wake.


    I ce the post it down and the banging on the door gets worse.


    ¡°Hold your horses, I aming¡± I yell out rubbing my eyes from sleep, my eyes felt so dry and


    itchy. The banging stops and I open the door only for it to be shoved in the moment it was unlocked.


    ¡°Good morning to you too¡± I snap at her. She waves me off while walking in and cing her hands on


    her hips.


    ¡°Ace isn¡¯t here¡± I snap at her rudeness as she just walks in like she owns the ce.


    ¡°I¡¯m not here to see Ace, I am here to see you¡± Mna says before walking into the living room


    and flopping on the couch.


    ¡°Seriously, Mna leave. Ace told you to stay away, now leave¡± I tell her walking into the kitchen. I


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    flick the kettle on and grab a mug down needing coffee.


    ¡°Two sugars¡± She says walking over and sitting on a stool at the bench.


    ¡°Did you not hear me tell you to leave?¡±


    ¡°Oh I heard but like I said I am not here to talk to Ace, I am here to talk to you. Now be hospitable¡±


    She says. I roll my eyes, grabbing another mug and making coffee.


    ¡°Fine, what is it you want to talk about?¡± I ask her, stering a fake smile on my face. Fuck if being


    Luna means smiling at dumb bitches all day I don¡¯t want to do it.


    ¡°I want you to reject Ace¡± She says, reaching for her cup and taking a sip. I felt like tossing mine in


    her face. I didn¡¯t know what was going on with Ace and I but I sure hell didn¡¯t want Mna to have him.


    ¡°Look I get you were with Ace for years but you aren¡¯t his mate I am¡± I tell her and she frowns


    looking down at her cup.


    ¡°You have Tyson, why do you need Ace, you don¡¯t need both of them, either way you will be


    Luna?¡± She says.


    ¡°I don¡¯t give a fuck about being Luna Mna. Ace is my mate and I am not giving him up because


    you have a stupid crush on him, get your own mate, better yet maybe beg the one you rejected to take


    you back¡± I snap at her.


    ¡°I gave up everything for Ace, only to be tossed aside when youe back. I love him, you had no


    right toe in here and stake a im on him when you don¡¯t even want him¡± She says standing up


    and cing her hands on the bench. I sip my coffee.


    ¡°He is my mate Mna, I am not rejecting him¡± I tell her, also unsure of that answer when Mna


    decides to get petty.


    ¡°Must really grind your gears knowing while you were away at school I was keeping his bed warm


    and he had no care for you at all, bet it really sucked knowing for 5 years he was screwing me not


    caring you were his mate, that''s how little you meant to him¡±


    ¡°Yep the same way it must suck for you that he tossed you aside after 5 years because he was


    only fucking you to pass the time not because he actually wanted you¡± I retort downing the rest of my


    cup and cing it in the sink.


    ¡°Is that all you wanted to speak about Mna because I really haven¡¯t got time to listen to you


    whine about my mate¡± I tell her, opening the door only when I do I see her car isn¡¯t empty. I stare


    shocked as I look at her before my blood boils in my veins. Josie was sitting in the passenger seat of


    Mna¡¯s car.

 Chapter 40

    Chapter 40


    I walk out and she spots me, a grin splitting on her face and she opens her car door and gets out.


    ¡°Lucy¡± She smiles like we are best friends and she didn¡¯t try to destroy my reputation by making me out


    to be some whore.


    ¡°How fucking dare you show your face here after what you did¡± I tell her walking down the steps.


    She stops in front of me and I pull my arm back and punch her. She squeals, clutching her nose before


    pulling her hands away that were drenched in blood just as my head is suddenly jerked back by my


    hair.


    ¡°That¡¯s my sister¡± Mna screams but I twist in her grip before punching her in the stomach. She


    gasps winded before letting go and I stand upright, only for Josie to punch in the side of the head. I


    growl at her.


    ¡°You are a fucking bitch, a bloody whore Lucy. It wasn¡¯t bad enough you took him from me and


    now you are taking Ace from Mna, is no man safe around you¡± Josie screams at me before wiping


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    her nose.


    ¡°What the fuck are you talking about?¡± I snap at her.


    ¡°You know Avery and Aamon sent him off and now he will spend the rest of his life burning and


    being tortured by her prick of a father because he told you he didn¡¯t want you and you were jealous of


    me¡± She screams at me.


    I tried to piece what she was saying together before it finally registered. I snort this is fantastic, it


    now makes so much sense.


    ¡°Mr Tanner, are you fucking serious Josie?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t deny it Lucy, I saw you running from his office and then to say he tried to rape you¡± She


    scoffs shaking her head.


    ¡°You have no idea what you are talking about Josie, I was not sleeping with Mr Tanner he was a


    predator, a fucking predator and you and I were his prey and I can¡¯t believe you were stupid enough to


    fall in love with a monster like that¡± I tell her.


    ¡°He loves me,¡± Josie says, shaking her finger in my face.


    ¡°Loves you, is that what you think? Josie, he was grooming you, he didn¡¯t love you, did you sleep


    with him?¡±


    ¡° He does love me, you just had to go and ruin it, like you ruined everything. Everything you touch


    you destroy Lucy¡± She screams at me, tears streaking down her face.


    I could hear car tyres in the distance and Mna looked down the driveway before looking at me with a


    smirk on her face.


    ¡°Josie you are wrong Mr Tanner was not a lover, you are supposed to be my friend, how could you


    say those things about me, what the fuck did I do to you?¡± I ask her. Like how can she not see Mr


    Tanner was just using her, he didn¡¯t love her. He was a sick perverted freak.


    ¡°He is a sick bastard is what he is¡± I tell her. Her face twists in anger before she lunges at me and


    tackles me. I hit the groundnding on my elbow before I pped her. Rolling her off and I climb on top


    of her and try restraining her arms beside her head.


    ¡°Josie, he doesn¡¯t love you, why can¡¯t you see that?¡± I ask her when I suddenly choke on my


    breath. I feel something cold slide into my body between my ribs making me gasp before I sputter and


    choke on my words. I feel something warm soak my shirt and I look down to see a knife jammed in my


    ribs. I look at it and pull it out wondering how it got there when I look up and see Mna slicing herself


    to pieces with her ws.


    I feel my lungs filling with blood making me cough blood all over Josie¡¯s face just as I hear a car


    stop and suddenly Ace steps into view of me. Mna screamed frantically that I attacked her and was


    trying to kill Josie. Josie was sobbing beneath me and I actually wondered if I stepped into an alternate


    reality, shit like this just doesn¡¯t happen. How could I be this unlucky in life? As if I didn¡¯t have enough


    going on, I now had to defend myself against my own mate from his psycho ex.


    Ace growls and I look up at him, his face twisted in rage and I gulp yet I was finding it easier to


    breathe as I slowly healed. Mna was soaked in blood from her self inflicted injuries and Josie was


    thrashing beneath me, trying to get me off her.


    Ace grabs my arm pulling me up and off Josie and I see Mna fight back from smiling out of the


    corner of my eye.


    ¡°Lucy, you alright?¡± Ace asks and Mna¡¯s face falls and I look at him shocked.


    ¡°She just attacked us and she was going to Kill Josie because Josie told her some home truths,


    she is fucking pyscho Ace, a danger to the pack¡±


    ¡°What truths are those?¡± Ace asks, looking down at Josie. Josie cowers away from his re but


    doesn¡¯t answer, but Mna does.


    ¡°That she is a homewrecking lying whore, that''s what and then she attacked us¡± Mna feigns


    innocence.


    ¡°This is unfucking believable¡± I mutter shaking my head.


    ¡°No, it is very believable¡± Ace says and my stomach drops and Mna grins triumphantly.


    ¡°I am now realizing the extremes you would go to, to try to hurt my mate and I will not tolerate that.


    I told you to stay away, Mna. You had no right toe here let alone attack my mate and your luna¡±


    Ace yells at her.


    Mna flinches at his anger yet not even I was prepared for what left his mouth next.


    ¡°I Ace Kasen ck, Alpha of the ck Moon Pack banish you Mna Addison Parker and Josie


    ire Parker from the ck Moon Pack and hereby dere you both rogues¡± he says firmly, his aura


    rushing out.


    ¡°Wait Ace, you can¡¯t¡± Mna gasps as she is stripped from the pack, her scent instantly changing


    and I hear Josie gasp and she res at me with such Malice I was surprised I didn¡¯t catch on fire.


    ¡°I can and I did, I warned you to steer clear, Mna. I won¡¯t have you attacking my mate because


    you are jealous of her, I told you all along nothing would evere of us¡± Ace tells her.


    ¡°You will regret this Ace, she doesn¡¯t love you like I do, what if she rejects you, you and I both


    know Tyson is the better choice out of both of you, she don¡¯t give a fuck about you only about titles¡±


    Mna argues.


    ¡°If she rejects me that is her choice, Lucy doesn¡¯t care about titles Mna unlike you and the only


    fucking regret I have is getting involved with you in the first ce, now get the fuck off my pack


    territory¡± He screams at her.

 Chapter 41

    Chapter 41


    Ace doesn¡¯t wait for her to leave instead, he turns to face me before gripping my shoulders and


    turning me toward the house and pushing me toward the stairs. I could hear Mna crying and


    begging for his attention but he ignored her and I looked up at him over my shoulder as I open the door.


    He must be quite confident in his Alpha aura just to turn his back on her like that but they were Pure


    Hybrid so i suppose it would be first if anyone was able to withstand the pressure of their aura¡¯s.


    I hear her car leave and Ace shuts the door before walking over to me and I thought at first he was


    made by the angry look on his face when he grabs my hips cing me on the counter, his hand lifting


    up my shirt to look at where Mna slid the knife between my ribs. It felt more bruised then actual pain


    seeing as it had all but closed up besides my pain tolerance thanks to the facility was higher than most


    peoples.


    ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Ace sasy running his thumb over the small neat line that was almostpletely


    closed.


    ¡°No, just feels bruised¡± I tell him looking down though the shirt was ruined and soaked in my blood.


    Ace curses under his breath before tugging it down before he steps closer moving between my legs


    and effectively trapping me, yet I could think of worse ces to be then trapped within my mates arms.


    Ace presses his face in the crook of my neck inhaling my scent and I shiver when his hands move


    to my ass tugging me closer to the edge of the countertop. ¡°Tyson is on his way home¡± Ace whispers


    against my neck.


    ¡°What happened at the borders?¡± I ask him and he shrugs and I could tell he was reluctant to tell


    me.


    ¡°He wantsnd this side of the river that runs between packs¡±


    ¡°Why though?¡± I ask him and he pulls back his hands, runs up my thighs and I for a second his


    hands are all I can think about. I have to force myself to remain on topic and focus on Alpha Jamie, like


    it seemed pretty stupid to start a war ofnd that wasn¡¯t his to beguin with.


    ¡°Tyson and I have a few theories as to why he wants it, more reasons not to give it to him¡± Ace


    says.


    ¡°Like what? What could he possibly want with it, he could always get morend from his other


    neighbouring pack¡± Ace nods but I hear Tyson¡¯s car pull up out the front my eyes darting to the door


    before going back to Ace. He was watching me carefully and I could see he wanted to say something


    and was holding back. I wondered why he was hesitant to tell me about Alpha Jamie.


    ¡°Lucy there is something I should I tell you¡± Ace says looking away guiltily. I feel my confusion


    spread across my face.


    Maybe it was to do with me stepping over the border of Jamie¡¯s pack without permission.


    ¡°What is it?¡± I ask him slightly worried, did I start a pack war?


    ¡°I went to see Avery and Aamon about your pills¡± Ace starts to tell me and the door opens up. Did


    something happen with Mr Tanner? Did Avery not believe me even after she saw, yet I could tell she


    did when she was herest. Tyson walks in and Ace sighs before going to step away yet I grab his


    hand pulling him back.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, say it Ace¡± I tell him needing to know, my anxiety was through the roof. Tyson


    stops assessing the situation before slowly emptying his pockets into the bowl that sat on the stand by


    the door.


    ¡°I am the reason you take those pills, not the entire reason but it is mostly me¡±


    ¡°No, Ace, I have depression. Depression isn¡¯t med on a person or any one thing¡± I tell him. How


    could he me himself for my pills, I have been on them since I was kid. Ace grabs my face in his


    hands and I see Tyson move out of the corner of my eye like he was about to jump his own brother if


    needed.


    ¡°No, Lucy think. Think about it. I knew you were my mate when you were 12, you have been on


    those pills since you were 12. Avery told me it was the aftermath of me¡± He doesn¡¯t finish but Tyson


    growls at him stepping toward him and Ace looks at him.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know, you know I would never deliberately cause her harm¡± Ace tells him, Tyson eyes


    flicker to Tyrant and Ace turns his attention back to me. I was confused trying to piece together what he


    was saying. I was 12 so what? He found out I was his mate when I was 12. It took a few minutes to


    piece together what he was saying and my eyebrows shot up as recognition slipped over me.


    I stared at him blinking back tears, Avery convinced me the pain I was feeling was due to PTSD of the


    facility nearly all of us suffered fro9m it, the things they did to us in there were not easy things to get


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    over.


    But Avery said the pain would get worse, that the pills would help to stop it being unbearable.


    ¡°Lucy?¡± Ace breathes his hands still cupping my face. ¡°I swear I didn¡¯t know, I never would have


    been with her, I...was stupid and selfish. Please understand I wasn¡¯t trying to hurt you¡±


    ¡°Let me go¡± I whisper to him. His lips part like he wants to say something but I just wanted to get


    away from him. The amount times I had thought about ending my life just to make the pain stop and it


    was because he was fucking her, because he was being untrue to the mate bond.


    ¡°Lucy please, just¡±


    ¡°Ace let me go¡± I tell him and he nods, dropping his hands from my face and stepping back. I jump


    off the counter top. I start walking down the hall, my eyes burning with unshed tears when I feel warmth


    pressing against my back as I stop at the spare bedroom door.


    ¡°No I am not sleeping without you again tonight, my room Lucy¡± Tyson says behind me his hand on


    my hips steering me toward his room.


    ¡°Be mad at him all you want, but don¡¯t hide away from me¡± Tyson whispers below my ear before


    opening his bedroom door. He pushes it open before pushing me inside the room.

    Tyson POV


    She was angry at Ace but I refused to let her hide away again. She can be angry all she wants,


    throw shit, break shit but don¡¯t run and hide from me. I hated when she suffered in silence. There had


    been enough silence and I couldn¡¯t handle her silence anymore. She stumbled forward as I pushed her


    in the room. I managed to grab her before she fell forward, jerking her back against me as I closed the


    door with my foot.


    ¡°Did you know?¡± She asks, looking at me over her shoulder.


    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t but it does make sense¡± I admit, I wanted to kill him but he was my brother I just hoped


    this wasn¡¯t the tipping point that would make her reject him.


    ¡°I¡¯m not rejecting him, I am just mad¡± She states and I almost forgot she could feel my emotions


    now and sense what I am thinking.


    ¡°You are allowed to be mad, you have every right to be Lucy¡± I tell her, turning her around in my


    arms. She wraps her arms around my neck standing on her tippy toes and I smile leaning down so she


    can kiss me.


    ¡°Going out¡± Ace says through the mindlink.


    ¡°Where?¡±


    ¡°Avalon City¡± He says before cutting off the link and I hear the front door m and Lucy pulls away


    looking behind me.


    ¡°We have the house to ourselves¡± I tell her wondering if that will bother her.


    ¡°He is mad?¡± She asks and I shrug, not sure what¡¯s going on with him. Though I knew it was killing


    him seeing Lucy and I get closer while he is pushed out.


    Lucy sighs before stepping away and walking into the bathroom. I follow watching as she strips off


    before turning the shower on.


    ¡°Ace was talking to me earlier, did you say something to him?¡± I ask her and I see her confusion as


    she looks over at me.


    ¡°Say what to him?¡± She asks, while checking the water''s temperature with her hand. I look away


    from her, my cock twitching in my pants at the sight of her plump ass and heavy breasts and small


    waist, she was perfect and curvy in all the right ces, yet notpletely smooth. I liked that she


    wasn¡¯t all hard and toned like most she-wolves. Lucy was still soft and not as skinny and athletic


    looking like most of the packs she-wolves who spend most of their lives training.


    ¡°Ace asked why I hadn¡¯t marked you¡± I tell her and she looks at me chewing her bottom lip.


    ¡°He may have mentioned it¡± She says, stepping into the shower and closing the door.


    I move further into the bathroom.


    ¡°What did he say?¡± She asks wetting her long golden hair. I watch her breasts jiggle and groan at


    the sight of her before readjusting myself only to look up to see her watching me with an amused smile


    on her lips while I try to stop my dick from pitching a very obvious tent in my shorts.


    I clear my throat, folding my arms across my chest and looking at the ceiling. ¡°He said I should


    mark you, even if you haven''t marked him¡±


    ¡°And you obviously don¡¯t agree¡± She states and I could hear her annoyance.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I just don¡¯t want to be the one that forces your hand¡±


    ¡°You think if you mark me I will just toss Ace aside and give up on being with him¡± She asks and I


    nod looking back at her.


    ¡°I won¡¯t reject him¡± She answered, though she didn¡¯t sound so sure herself.


    ¡°What bothers you the most, the fact he was with someone or that it was Mna he was with?¡± I


    ask her.


    ¡°Both, it being Mna was just the fucking icing on the cake, he knows how much I hate her¡± She


    says and she is correct. I warned him when he first got with Mna it wasn¡¯t a good idea.

    Lucy and her used to get along until Lucy caught them together when she was 11 and suddenly a


    switch flipped and they became enemies overnight. Making me wonder if that was the first sign of the


    bond kicking in for her even though she was underage for a wolf, she instantly turned on Mna when


    she walked in on them fooling around. Yet when I was with Tara Lucy didn¡¯t seem to have an issue but


    saying that we never really did anything together but now I was wondering if the bond kicked in first for


    her with Ace.


    ¡°What bothers you the most¡±


    ¡°She had her hands on him from the moment we got out of the facility¡± Lucy says with a growl and


    my lips tug up slightly.


    ¡°When did it bother you?¡± I ask her.


    ¡°When I caught them together in your room¡± She says confirming what I thought just before she left


    for boarding school.


    ¡°Why did it bother you then though¡±


    ¡°Because he was mine and she was touching him¡± She says before realizing what she said.


    ¡°You were jealous?¡± I ask her and she seems to think before shrugging.


    ¡°You were both always with me then you started hanging out with her¡± Lucy says.


    ¡°But you weren¡¯t like that with Tara,¡± I tell her.


    ¡°She didn¡¯t reek of you and you didn¡¯t reek of her, I know Ace was with Mna back then¡± Lucy


    says and I realise Avery was right and that everything Ace said was correct. Lucy has been able to feel


    the bond from the moment we met her. She just wasn¡¯t sure what it was, yet she had always been


    drawn to us and us her. Yet it was only recently that she realized what it all meant.


    I tug my shirt off before undoing my pants. Here we thought we were waiting for her when in reality


    she waited for us longer she was just unaware of what it is she was waiting for. But that left another


    thing to think about. Avery told Ace that she thinks Lucy¡¯s wolf is dormant not dead, now the question is


    how do we wake her wolf?


    Opening the shower screen Lucy moves over and I smile down at her tugging her to me, her


    hands go to my chest, her breasts squashed against abs. I grip her thighs, lifting her and wrapping her


    legs around my waist. She smiles before wrapping her arms around my neck and pressing her lips


    against mine. I feel her smile against my lips and I press her against the cold tiles earning a shriek from


    her as I nip at her chin. She sighs.


    I use one hand to turn her face exposing her neck to me. She shudders and her nails dig into my


    shoulders where she was holding me. I run my tongue over her neck and she moans making me


    chuckle.


    ¡°Tyson?¡± she whispers and I felt bad that I didn¡¯t mark her right away after hearing the desperation


    in her voice, she was after the same assurance, that I wouldn¡¯t toss her away.


    My canines graze across her skin and I feel the sharp points press against her delicate skin and


    she shivers against me. I seal my lips over her neck before sinking my teeth into her, my canines


    embedding in her flesh and she makes a strangled noise that sounds pained before turning to a moan


    as I pull her closer letting my teeth tear through the tissue and muscle until I feel them hit bone.


    I feel relief rush into me from the bond as it forms and snaps in ce followed by exhaustion and


    overwhelming urge to sleep. I slowly pull my teeth from her neck and she slumps heavily against me


    goingpletely floppy and I feel silence through the bond and know I knocked her out. I shut the


    water off before hoisting her up and scooping my arms under her legs that had fallen down my sides.


    ¡°Maybe we should have marked her in bed, now we have to figure out how to dry her and hold her


    upright¡± Tyrant tells me and I roll my eyes at him before snatching the towel off the towel rack. I dry her


    back while I lean her against me before scooping her up andying her in bed before drying the front of


    her and tugging the nket around her.


    ¡°Man you really want to torture us don¡¯t you¡± Tyrant whines at me when I don¡¯t bother to dress her


    and I find myself repeating what Lucy always says.¡±It¡¯s just skin¡± I tell him. I quickly dry myself before


    slipping some boxer shorts on and climbing in beside her.

    Ace POV


    I drove all night for Avery to turn around and say no. I thought she would be happy it was the most


    selfless thing I could do. I was letting her go, letting her be free of me and all the pain I have caused


    her. Yet Avery turned me down refusing to remove the mate bond, yet she took Lucy¡¯s mark when I


    marked her. I hoped to plead with Aamon but he wasn¡¯t home, hoping he could convince her. She


    removed the bond for Lucy But now won¡¯t take the bond for me, saying it was for Lucy to decide.


    Decide what? She fucking hates me and I know the only reason she hasn¡¯t rejected me is because of


    her fear of upsetting Tyson.


    Her being mated to me was not only making her miserable but my brother. Walking out of Avery¡¯s


    house I get back in my car. This was fucking bullshit. She doesn''t want me so I don¡¯t see the issue with


    Avery snapping her fingers and relieving us both of the bond. She was not only punishing Lucy but


    Tyson by leaving her tied to me.


    ¡°Ace?¡± Avery says chasing after me as I m my car door shut.


    ¡°Bloody Hybrids, Aamon, where are you?¡± I heard her say just before I started my car. I tear out of


    the driveway before racing down the street toward the highway. Atticus wasn¡¯t even talking to me,


    convinced I fucked everything up and he was right. I fuck everything up, anything I touch bes


    ruined.


    I refuse to be the reason they both suffer, refuse to be the one that ruins their lives. I didn¡¯t deserve her


    and now realising that, it just made my mind uppletely.


    Driving along the highway leaving Avalon City, I know there is a bend with a sheer drop. Avery


    wouldn¡¯t save Lucy from the bond, I will save her myself. I floor it, pressing the pedal all the way to the


    floor listening to my car rev all the way out as it picks up speed for the sharp bend. I unclip my seatbelt


    just as I smash through the barrier and the car is suddenly falling. It smacks the side of the cliff and tips


    and I am suddenly looking up the cliff as it starts somersaulting when burnt almonds invade my senses.


    Great I am going to hell, I think knowing that usually means a demon is near, demonse from hell


    and I am sure that is where the Moon Goddess will send me for hurting Lucy. I see the grounding


    toward me at an rming speed and close my eyes bracing for impact when I feel a hand touch me.


    ¡°Fucking idiot¡± I hear Aamon yell at me before feeling a whoosh motion and a vacuum like suction


    rush over me and my eyes open to see Aamon standing in front of me while I am sitting on the hard


    ground near the busted barrier. I touch myself shocked that I am alive before then hearing a loud boom


    of an explosion and a billow of smoke and mes appears filling the sky behind where Aamon was


    standing.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t believe you would be so stupid, do you have any idea how fucking stupid that was. You


    could have died¡± Aamon snapped at me, it was the first time I had seen him angry at me.


    ¡°That was kind of the fucking point¡± I growl at him getting to my feet only for him to shove me on


    the ground, I growl at him before feeling his fist connect with side of my face and my head whips tothe


    side, ck dots dance in fornt of my vision and I shake my head to clear it before ring at him.


    ¡°How fucking dare you, do you have any idea how many people that would have destroyed, your


    brothers, your mother, what about Lucy?¡± Aamon screams at me.


    ¡°They would be better off without me, Lucy doesn¡¯t want me.


    I am just stopping her and Tyson from being together¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Is that what you think, how do you think Lucy would feel knowing she was the reason you killed


    yourself, how would Tyson feel knowing his twin fucking killed himself, you think you are saving them?


    You nearly just fucking ruined them Ace. Lucy loves you, your family loves you and you doing stupid


    shit like this will only cause them pain while ending yours¡± Aamon says.


    ¡°Avery wouldn¡¯t take the bond this is the only way to free her from me¡± I yell at him, how does he


    not see that?


    ¡°Yes because Avery can see the bond is worth fucking saving you idiot, if she wouldn¡¯t take it from


    you its because she saw something worth keeping, not because she is punishing you Ace¡± I think over


    his words yet I saw no way to fix this. Lucy hates me and it would only be a matter of time before Tyson


    does too.


    ¡°Get up, get home and fix it, stop being a coward and for once in your god damn life fucking fight


    for something, instead of letting Tyson deal with everything for you¡± Aamon says before reaching down


    and grabbing the front of my shirt and jerking me to my feet.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    ¡°You ever do something like that again, I will burn your ass in hell for all eternity¡± Aamon says


    before gripping my arms. I feel the suction feeling of him misting as I am pulled through space before


    appearing out the front of my packhouse.


    ¡°Get inside to your mate¡± Aamon orders and I look around. I could already feel the bond pulling me


    toward her knowing she is just inside the house. Atticus ws in my head to be near her.


    I look at Aamon and nod suddenly realizing how stupid trying to kill myself was. I stopped realizing


    I now had to exin what happened to my car.


    ¡°You aren¡¯t going to tell them are you?¡±


    ¡°No, as long as you get your ass inside and promise never to do anything like that again¡± Aamon


    says and I nod I turn looking back at the darkened house before turning back to Aamon only now he is


    gone. I sigh heading inside and hoping the front door was still unlocked. Thankfully it is.

    Chapter 44


    Lucy POV


    I woke in the middle of the night to this overwhelming feeling of dread. Sitting up I found myself


    naked and Tyson was fast asleep pressed against my back. I toss the nket back before rummaging


    through the dresser and I grab one of Tysons shirts and slip it on before walking out of the room toward


    the kitchen. My stomach turned violently making me wonder what was going on with me. My mind was


    racing and somehow kept going to Ace, I just had a terrible feeling something was going on with him.


    I make myself a ss of water before picking up Tyson¡¯s phone and see it is a little after 2am. I


    drink the ss of water before rinsing my ss and cing it on the sink upside down. I then slip down


    the hall stopping out the front of Ace¡¯s bedroom door. I grip the door handle and twist it open. His scent


    was faint and I couldn¡¯t see him in the room. I flick the light on and confirm that he still isn¡¯t home. I


    sigh, shutting the light off and closing the door.


    I wonder where he is? Maybe he is with Mna and that was the feeling of dread that was


    consuming me, but then again he now knew I could feel them together so I doubted that, he wouldn¡¯t


    be that stupid and he would know Tyson would lose it and I would reject him if he did. Yet the feeling


    got worse and I couldn''t ce it. I just knew it had something to do with Ace. Walking back to Tyson¡¯s


    room, I climb back in bed. I toss and turn trying to get back to sleep, but the sinking feeling in my gut


    was making me nauseous.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Tyson asks sleepily yawning as he rolls into me before tugging me flush against


    him.


    ¡°Have you heard from Ace?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°He still isn¡¯t home?¡± Tyson mumbles and I shake my head.


    ¡°He will be fine Lucy, he wille home when he is ready¡± Tyson says, kissing my shoulder when


    I suddenly hear the front door open.


    ¡°See? He is fine¡± Tyson mumbles and I hear the front door close before hearing footsteps walking


    down the hallway. I hear him stop at his bedroom door for a second before he continues and I feel


    myself rx when I get a whiff of his scent seep into the room before the door is pushed open more.


    Ace walks in and leans over the bed and I turn my face to look up at him and he jerks back.


    ¡°Sorry I didn¡¯t realise you were awake¡± he whispers standing upright. Yet I couldn¡¯t exin the


    immense relief I had upon seeing him, the sickly feeling in my stomach settling now I could see him.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t youe home earlier?¡± I ask him as he goes to turn around and leave.


    ¡°My car broke down, I only just got home¡± Ace tells me and I nod.


    ¡°Were you in my room?¡± He asks and I realize that must be why he came down to Tyson¡¯s room.


    He could smell my lingering scent in his room when I went to check if he was home yet.


    ¡°Yes, I didn''t touch anything I was only seeing if you were home¡± I tell him.


    ¡°You can touch whatever you want Lucy¡± He says turning around again. The moment his back was


    to me the sick feeling returned.


    ¡°Ace?¡± I whisper and he stops turning back to me.


    ¡°Will you stay please?¡±


    ¡°In here with you?¡± He asks, confused.


    ¡°Just for tonight, I just want you close , something feels off¡± I tell him and I see him bite his lip


    before he nods. Ace sits on the edge of bed and removes his shoes and his shirt. I move over pulling


    the nket back and heys down and I move closer needing to feel his skin. I suddenly felt worried to


    let him go like he would disappear.


    I couldn¡¯t exin the feeling but something about Ace scared me like he was leaving me, or maybe it


    was because Tyson and I were talking about Ace in the shower I wasn¡¯t sure. Ace turns his face,


    pressing his nose into my neck.


    ¡°Tyson marked you?¡± He asks though I could tell he already knew. I don¡¯t say anything, not


    wanting him to get upset and leave.


    ¡°Good¡± He says rolling over and tugging me closer, he kisses my forehead. ¡°I love you Lucy¡± He


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    whispers, hugging me tighter to him. I drape my arm over him snuggling against him and inhaling his


    scent. Nothing felt more right than being between both of them, feeling both of them next to me like this


    is how it is supposed to be and a part of me was sick of denying it.


    Ace''s hand moves down my side to my hip before moving underneath Tyson¡¯s shirt, his hand


    moving back up and he stops at my ribs. Ace¡¯s hand is warm against my skin and he kisses my


    forehead pulling me closer when I feel Tyson move behind me pressing closer and pushing me


    impossibly close to Ace. I feel Tyson hand run along my thigh before he lifts my leg draping it over


    Ace¡¯s hip and Ace pulls me closer when I feel Tyson''s breath on my neck as he moves before hearing


    his voice below my ear.


    ¡°I know you want him Lucy, it¡¯s ok to want Ace. I want you to want him too¡± Tyson says kissing my


    mark before sucking on it and making me moan. I feel my eyes roll into my head when I feel Tyson¡¯s


    hand move under his shirt stopping on his brother''s hand. He moves Ace''s hand to my breast and I feel


    Ace hesitate before palming it. I wanted them, wanted both of them. Tyson knew that through the bond


    but also knew I wouldn¡¯t do anything about it.


    Tyson¡¯s hand moves across my stomach before moving between my legs and I feel his erection


    pressing against my ass, his fingers trailing along the lower half of my stomach yet he doesn¡¯t move


    them lower and I knew he wanted permission despite being able to feel my reaction to him through the


    bond and I grab his hand moving it between my legs and he groans when he feels how wet I am,


    were barely touching me and I felt like I was about tobust on just their closeness alone.

 Chapter 45

    Chapter 45


    A delightful shiver runs across my skin as Tyson''s fingers brush over my slit. He glides his finger


    between my wet folds making me moan at his teasing. My hips buck against his hand and Ace


    suddenly grips my hip holding me still but I grip his hand moving it back to my breast.


    ¡°Lucy!¡± Ace growls when I roll my hips against Tyson¡¯s hand and I realise I made Tyson¡¯s hand


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    brush up against Ace.


    Tyson''s hand jerks away when he identally touches his brother and I grind my hips against


    Ace''s erection wanting the friction back. Tyson''s hand goes to my neck as he squeezes my throat,


    turning my face and bringing my lips to his.His tongue invading my mouth as he tastes every inch,


    making me moan into his mouth when he suddenly lets go of my throat, instead his hand moving to my


    waist and he grips the shirt.


    I sit up letting him peel it off. Ace also sits up on one elbow. I watch him before feeling Tyson sit up


    behind me, his lips going to my neck and my eyes close as he leaves open mouth kisses along my


    neck and shoulder. Tyson fingers y with my nipple making it harden and I lean back against him.


    ¡°Let him touch you Lucy, he wants to touch you and I know you want him to¡± Tyson whispers below


    my ear before sucking my earlobe into his mouth.


    I nod a breathy sound leaving my lips when Ace suddenly moves and his lips lock around the


    nipple Tyson isn¡¯t teasing. I grip Ace¡¯s hair, his hot tongue flicking over my hardened nipple before he


    bites down on it making me flinch at the sudden pain before his tongue soothes it.


    My grip in his hair tightens as I pull him closer. He growls his tongue vibrating against my breast as


    he nips and sucks on it. Ace moves his face higher nipping and sucking my skin before nipping at my


    neck and I tense having him that close to my marking spot.


    Ace pulls back, watching my face for a second when I feel Tyson move and he pulls me onto his


    Gripping Ace¡¯s hair I bring his lips back to mine and he makes a satisfied noise in the back of his throat


    when I kiss him, his tongue tracing across my bottom lip wanting entry and I let my lips part, wanting to


    taste him. Tyson¡¯s relief through the bond hit me when I kiss Ace back, like a weight had been lifted off


    his shoulders.


    Tyson''s hand moves between my legs and he rubs my clit in circr motions making me move my


    hips against his hand.


    ¡°Fuck she¡¯s wet¡± Tyson groans below my ear before kissing my jaw when he shoves his finger


    inside me. I squirm at the sudden intrusion and he stills his movements for a second before


    withdrawing his finger slowly, my juices spill onto my thighs and coat his fingers.


    I feel him slowly work another finger inside me stretching me. I roll my hips against his fingers and


    cry out when he forces his fingers deeper inside me, wiggling them and curling them upwards.


    Ace¡¯s hands move to my hips and he tips my hips forward giving Tyson easier ess as he slides


    his fingers in and out of my soaking wet heat. Ace watches Tyson fingers move in and out of me before


    he suddenly moves off the bed, pulling me toward him making Tyson fingers leave my body as I am


    pulled to the edge of the bed, my feet touching the soft carpet.


    Ace kisses my knee and my eyes dart down to him kneeling between my legs. Tyson moves


    behind me pulling me back against him.


    ¡°Let Ace taste you¡± Tyson purrs against my mark, enticing a moan from lips as sparks rush over


    my body. He chuckles against my skin and I feel Ace hands slide under me as he grips my ass, jerking


    me closer to his face before his hands go to my thighs opening them wider for him before he drapes my


    legs over his shoulders, his hands sliding up and down my thighs while he trails his lips and tongue


    along the inside of my thigh making me shudder. I feel his breath on my core before he presses his lips


    against my slick folds.


    His tongue ttens against my folds licking a straight line to my clit before sucking it into his mouth


    and I rx against Tyson, a moan escaping my lips. Ace¡¯s grip on my thighs tightens and my legs


    tremble, wanting to close them around his face as I squirm but he holds them open. His tongue runs


    between my folds before he slipped it inside me.


    He growls the vibration making me buck against his mouth before he holds me still , his hot mouth


    devouring me as he licks and sucks and I feel my body heat up and goosebumps rise on my arms and


    all I could think about is his hot mouth devouring me and the pleasurable feel that was growing within


    me.


    Tyson brushes my hair off my shoulder before sucking on my mark making me moan loudly as


    pleasure rushes over me making my hair stand on end as tingles erupt everywhere. I be lost in


    the feel of them touching me consumed with their touch. Tyson''s mouth moves up my neck and I feel


    his canines graze my skin before he nips at my chin.


    I turn my face toward his. Tyson lips crash against mine swallowing my moans as Ace continues


    relentlessly flicking his tongue over my clit and I feel my stomach tighten, my hips moving against his


    mouth when I feel my eyes roll into the back of my head, my toes curling and my entire body tenses


    before letting go.


    I cry out at the sudden intensity of my orgasm washing over me and my walls clenching as my


    orgasm pulsates out of me. Ace licking up my juices as they spill out of me as I ride out my orgasm


    leaving me breathless as my body goes ck and I lean heavily against Tyson.


    My body ispletely rxed yet exhausted like I ran a marathon. Ace moves kissing the inside


    of my thigh before sliding my legs off his shoulders and they fall heavily on the bed when he sits up on


    his knees. I yawn and he chuckles before gripping the back of my neck and bringing my lips to his. Ace


    forces his tongue between my lips, his tongue tasting every inch of my mouth and I could taste myself


    on his lips and tongue making me moan softly when he pulls aways and presses his lips to my


    forehead.


    Tysonys back down and tugs me against him and pulls me back toying position. I sink heavily


    into the bed, my hand tugging Ace¡¯s not wanting him to leave and he climbs back on the bed next to


    me before tucking my hair behind my ear.


    ¡°Sleep Lucy¡± he whispers, pressing closer, his arm draped across my waist while Tyson was


    across my ribs. I let my eyes close, loving them being so close, feeling at home and for once I felt like I


    actually belonged somewhere.


    Home, they were home I thought to myself as my eyes fluttered shut. For once I didn¡¯t question


    anything, letting my mind go nk as I started to drift off knowing no matter what happens I will always


    have them, they will always be in my corner and I theirs.

    Chapter 46


    Waking up to hands shaking me I squinted up at Ace. ¡°Morning¡± He says as he smiles down at me.


    My lips tug up slightly and I feel for Tyson behind me but he isn¡¯t in bed his side cold like he hadn''t


    been in bed for a while.


    ¡°He is at work, but you have your end of suspension meeting this morning unless you want me to


    pull you out?¡± Ace says sounding hopeful and I groan stuffing the pillow back over my face hating the


    idea of going back to school, but at least I could see Mitchell and soon I would graduate so I figured I


    will just suffer through it.


    ¡° No, I should go. What time is it?¡± I ask him.


    ¡°In that case then, it is time to get up¡± He says gripping my hips making me squeal before I am


    flung over his shoulder as he marches into Tyson¡¯s ensuite.


    ¡°Shower, I will make you some breakfast,¡± Ace says, cing me on my feet and I instantly shiver


    from the cold tiles.


    ¡°We leave in 30 minutes so shower quickly¡± Ace says before walking out. I quickly showered


    before digging through my clothes and finding some jeans and a blue tank top and hoodie.


    ¡°Lucy?¡± Ace calls from the kitchen.


    ¡°I aming¡± I scream back to him while stuffing my shoes on my feet before grabbing my school


    bag. Walking down the hallway, I toss my bag near the front door before turning into the kitchen and


    tying my hair in a messy bun on my head because I couldn¡¯t be bothered brushing the knots out.


    Ace ces a coffee on the bench in front of me before sliding a te of peanut butter toast over to


    me. I sip my coffee before picking up a piece of toast and biting into it. My tongue is sticking to the roof


    of my mouth from the peanut butter.


    ¡°Well that defeats the purpose of brushing my teeth¡± I tell him seeing as he smothered the poor


    toast in so much peanut butter that I might as well have been eating it straight from the jar.


    ¡°Too much peanut butter?¡± Ace chuckles as I try to swallow it down with the dry ass toast, having


    to wash it down with my coffee.


    ¡°Just a little, what¡¯s going on with Tyson, he always seems to be working these days?¡± I ask him.


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    ¡°Nothing, just Alpha Jamie¡¯s pack causing problems. We have had a few issues within the pack


    because of him¡±


    ¡°What sort of problems in the pack?¡±


    ¡°Mate problems mostly, three pack members from our pack found there mates¡±


    ¡°Why is that a problem though?¡±


    ¡°Because they are from Alpha Jamie¡¯s pack¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t want them to leave the pack?¡± I ask him and he shakes his head while sipping his


    coffee.


    ¡°No, we said they could go. It''s not us it is Jamie, using his own pack members as hostages,


    refusing to let them leave and also refusing our pack members being with their mates¡± He says.


    ¡°Well that sucks, all for a piece ofnd? Why not just hand it over to him?¡±


    ¡°Well for starters we had ns for it, but that isn¡¯t the only reason. Alpha Jamie wants the river to


    send his shit across pack borders, he knows if he steps over our borders with his drugs or Rykers and


    the other packs he will be strung up. The other packs bowed and gave in so the river running along the


    back here belongs to him, except the piece that backs onto ournd unless we give this side he can¡¯t


    run his drugs up and down it to get it out of the city without crossing into someones pack¡±


    ¡°Why doesn¡¯t Ryker do something about it?¡±


    ¡°Because for him to intervene he needs proof and reason to step on hisnd, sure he can walk in


    there and search his pack but it would cause an uproar with him just walking in and that may cause


    problems with the other packs¡±


    ¡°How was he getting it out before this then?¡±


    ¡°nes from what we gathered, Ryker shut the airport down which was on Alpha Jamie''s pack,


    and had a new one built on the other side of the city. Then all this shit started¡± he says looking at his


    watch.


    ¡°Come on time to go¡± He says, sculling the rest of his coffee. I quickly do the same, dropping my


    te and cup in the sink before following after him. I grab my bag and rush out to his car that was


    parked out the front of the packhouse. Only it wasn¡¯t his car but a new silver one.


    ¡°Where is your car?¡± I ask him and he scratches the back of his neck.


    ¡°Motor blew up and Aamon has a friend who owns a dealership, he had this sent here this morning


    for me¡± he says with a shrug. Hitting the button to unlock the doors. He smirks as I huff walking over to


    the passenger side.


    ¡°You don¡¯t like it?¡± He asks,


    ¡°No, I preferred your old muscle car this one is too..


    too¡±


    ¡°Pretty and girly looking¡± He chuckles and I nod looking at the sleek Audi that Aamon had sent


    him.


    ¡°Well lucky for you I am not keeping this, only borrowing it until I find another car¡± He says before


    climbing in the drivers side. I climb in before putting my seatbelt on.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to go to the meeting thing you know?¡±


    ¡°Well Jacob is busy, and I am down as your guardian on the paperwork so I kind of do have to go¡±


    ¡°Because that doesn''t sound creepy at all, mate and guardian¡± I tell him. He shrugs, pulling out of


    the driveway and onto the highway.


    ¡°I don¡¯t mind, I like it, they will ring me if you need anything or if something happens¡± He says. We


    drove listening to the morning radio show for about twenty minute before crossing the border into my


    mothers territory.


    ¡°You sure you want toe, I know you hate my principal¡± I tell him as we get nearer.


    ¡°Lucy I am going to the meeting, now stop asking I am not dropping you off and leaving, besides I


    already told them I would be going¡±


    ¡°But technically I don¡¯t need a guardian, I am 18 now¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Yes but for school you do, also Tyson was pissed off you wouldn¡¯t let use see you on your


    birthday¡± Ace says and he didn¡¯t sound too happy about it either.


    ¡°I hate birthdays, besides I was busy helping mum with Ryden¡± I tell him. He growls clearly not


    happy.


    ¡°Well doesn¡¯t matter, Tyson still has something nned anyway¡± Ace says and I roll my eyes at


    him.


    ¡°My birthday was a week ago¡± I tell him.


    ¡°I know when your birthday is Lucy, I use it as my password for everything¡± He chuckles.


    ¡°Really?¡± I ask a little shocked.


    ¡°Grab my phone out of my pocket¡± He says and I lean over and dig through his pants pocket, he


    lifts his hips letting me get my hand into his pocket and I pull his phone out. Clicking on the screen I see


    a picture of me with Tyson from a few years ago at Christmas as his screensaver.

 Chapter 47

    Chapter 47


    Swiping up on his phone it asks for a password and I type my birthday in as an eight digit number


    before his screen unlocks.


    ¡°See? Tyson also uses it for everything too¡± he says.


    ¡°Sweet now I can snoop¡± I chuckle and he holds his hand out for his phone but I pull away going


    through his shit on his phone.


    ¡°Lucy!¡± Ace says leaning over and trying to take it from me.


    ¡°What are you hiding Ace?¡± I taunt flicking through his messages but they are mostly Tyson, Jacob


    and his mother. I go out of his messages and snoop through messenger and a few other apps but find


    nothing before checking his browser history which also was boring as fuck.


    ¡°Don¡¯t understand why you got your knickers in a knot there is nothing bad in here¡± I tell him and


    he growls holding his hand out for his phone.


    ¡°Though now I have to change my phone password, I wouldn''t want you to see the nudes I sent to


    Mitchell a few months back¡± I tease when he suddenly jerks the car to side of the road before mming


    on the brakes


    ¡°You better be joking,¡± he says, snatching my bag off the floor from between my legs. I roll my eyes


    at him.


    ¡°Nope, not joking, even sent a few videos¡± I taunt as he rummages through my bag. Bloody idiot, I


    thought to myself, he should know me better than to do something stupid like that.


    ¡°Ooh I wonder if you have nudes?¡± I ask Ace going into his camera roll on his phone as he grabs


    mine and unlocks it. His eyes dart to me before he lunges for his phone making meugh as I turn in


    my chair and shove him back with my feet.


    ¡°So this is why you didn''t want me snooping, will I find dick pics?¡± I tell him praying there aren''t


    nudes of Mna in here as I click on it. Tyson tries reaching for his phone but I keep shoving him back


    and augh escapes me. As he tries taking it from me before my face falls when I see they are photos


    mostly of me and a few of Tyson and one of Ryden with Rayan.


    ¡°Stalker alert¡± I shriek as he tries to snatch his phone.


    ¡°It is not stalking you are my mate¡±


    ¡°So you take photos of me sleeping with your brother,¡± I tell him.


    ¡°When you say it like that, yeah it sounds creepy, but you wouldn¡¯t let me near you¡± he says before


    scrolling through my phone. I handed his phone back to him.


    ¡°You don¡¯t seriously think I would send nudes to someone Ace?¡±


    ¡°No, but I would like to see what you talk to Mitchell about¡± He says, reading my messages.


    ¡°We will bete¡± I tell him.


    ¡°Why will we? How many messages have you sent him?¡± I shrug not knowing because there are


    too many to count.


    ¡°If you want just keep my phone, if you want to read my messages I will take yours to school¡± I tell


    him.


    ¡°Or you can drive while I read¡± He says, still scrolling.


    ¡°No license and this is manual, I can¡¯t drive manual¡± I tell him but I also sucked at driving in general


    but didn¡¯t want him to know I made no use of the driving lessons Tyson paid forst year. He huffs


    before sliding his chair back patting hisp. I raise an eyebrow at him.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°You can steer then¡± He says.


    ¡°What if I crash? '''' I tell him, looking at this posh ass car that doesn¡¯t suit him.


    ¡°Then it looks like I brought it, you will be fine, I will be controlling the pedals¡± He says, patting his


    ¡°Fine but if we get pulled over, you are taking the me. I am not losing my license before I even


    get it¡± I tell him.


    I turn the ignition on and Ace moves his legs and puts the car into gear, his hand on my thigh while


    he rested his chin on my shoulder looking at the phone and also watching the road making sure I don''t


    kill us. I pull back on the road and my hands start sweating instantly. I never wanted my license and


    hated the idea of driving.


    ¡°Slow down Ace¡± I tell him, my heart racing as the car picks up speed.


    ¡°Lucy we still aren''t even at the speed limit yet¡± he says changing gears again and the car picks up


    more speed.


    ¡°Ace¡± I squeal. He tosses the phone on the passenger seat.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t do your driving lessons Tyson paid for did you?¡± He says rememberingst year''s


    birthday present from Tyson.


    ¡°Nope, I don¡¯t like driving¡± I tell him and one of his hands grip the steering wheel the other pulling


    me back against him while he sits up a little.


    ¡°Pull over so I can get in my seat¡±


    ¡°We are nearly there, besides you have the best seat¡± He says, thrusting his hips up and I could


    feel the bulge in his pants.


    ¡°Ace¡± I say through gritted teeth and he chuckles pulling onto the road towards the school. I sigh,


    leaning back against him while he drives. My phone starts ringing and I nce over at it and see


    mitchells face pop up on the screen. I reach for it when Ace turns sharply, the phone sliding into the


    footwell out of reach.


    ¡° You did that deliberately¡± I tell him, knowing that the corner isn''t that sharp.


    ¡°Yep,¡± He admits kissing my cheek when it starts ringing again. Ace pulls up at the school and I


    look at the dash to see we are now five minuteste for the principal meeting yet heaps of kids are still


    walking around just inside the gates. When I knew the bell had rung 10 minutes ago.


    I shake my head and reach over grabbing my bag and phone off the floor before climbing off Ace¡¯s


    arches an eyebrow at me before draping his arm over my shoulder and pulling me beside him.


    ¡°Ace¡± I whisper when I see a few kids staring but he just tugs me closer ignoring me trying to


    escape him. My phone starts ringing again as I enter the gates and I retrieve it from my pocket,


    ncing at it to see Mitchell¡¯s face pop up again.


    ¡°Do you usually get this much attention?¡± Ace asks, making me look up from my phone, wondering


    what he is talking about. People were staring at me everywhere we turned and at first I thought it was


    because I was with Ace, but the whispers got worse as we entered the building. My phone starts


    ringing again, vibrating in my hand and I answer it. ¡°Yes Jacob?¡± I say annoyed.


    ¡°Don''te to school,¡± He says in a frantic rushed voice.


    ¡°And why wouldn¡¯t Ie to school Mitchell besides I just got here¡± I tell him, seeing a few people


    whispering and pointing before Ace res at them and the scamper off. What the fuck is going on?

 Chapter 48

    Chapter 48


    ¡°Lucy turn around and leave the school now¡± Mitchell demands.


    ¡°I have a meeting, I am just about to get to the centre quad about '''' I stop talking and freeze as I


    reach the doors that lead to the quad in the centre of the school. The principal''s office was at the back


    of the school and cutting through the quad was the fastest way there and also the main hangout spot


    for students.


    Tears burn my eyes as I look around horrified. My stomach drops and my heart feels like it is


    lodged in my throat. I take a step back praying this is some kind of nightmare I am yet to wake up from.


    A growl tears out of Ace and everyone runs as Ace starts ripping the pictures down while I stand


    there in shock. Mitchelles racing over with a handful of papers like he was trying to pull them down


    himself and I also notice staff members also trying to rip down the numerous pictures stuck to the walls.


    ¡°Lucy, Lucy,¡± Mitchell says. I shake my head, words failing me as I look around at every wall


    covered in pictures of me. Writing covering every wall in red paint. Homewrecker. Whore. Slut.


    Absolutely vile words along with the pictures of that day. I just couldn''t figure out how anyone got these


    photos or who took them but I knew it had to be Josie as I felt my heart sink, twisting painfully in my


    chest.


    Teachers were rushing around trying to rip them down along with janitors as I look horrified at a


    picture of me running down the corridor barely dressed after Mr Tanner tried to rape me. I knew it was


    that day from the fact I was clutching my torn shirt to my chest, my bra strap was broken and just the


    look of pure horror on my face.


    There were three different photos including one of him with me shoved over his desk, my skirt


    shoved up and my face turned away from the person who took the photo. Mr Tanner is standing behind


    me with his hand pushing my head into the desk, looking at that particr photo it looks like a porn


    scene from a movie only I know it is actually him trying to rape me, and I also know if the camera was


    on my face it would see I clearly was not liking what he was doing to me as I struggled to get out of his


    clutches.


    ¡°Why?¡± Is all that leaves my lips. How could she get photos from inside the ssroom yet I could


    see the photo was taken from the door and the gap where the blind didn¡¯t cover the window fully as I


    could see part of the blind. I swallow when I see one of me leaving the ssroom and my entire boob is


    exposed, my mascara all streaking my face, and my hair a mess.


    I feel sick and bile rises in my throat, everyone has seen them, there were hundreds of prints stuck


    to the walls and ss windows surrounding the quad.


    Mitchell was trying to steer me out of the quad but I was frozen in ce and I suddenly fell deaf to


    my surroundings as I looked around. Everyone stared with their judgmental eyes, seeing their lips


    moving as they whispered. The worst day of my life on disy for everyone to see.


    How Josie could take such photos and then say I was lying about what he tried to do, how could


    she see it as anything other than attempted rape and then photo it and put it up for everyone to see. I


    blink a few times. I could see Mitchell standing in front of me trying to block me from seeing what she


    did.


    Was this payback for Ace banishing them? Doors swing open all around the quad.


    Ryker walks in and shame smashes into me. It is one thing for everyone to see this but my family. I


    look around and see Jacob and a few other close members in the pack rush in and start ripping them


    down and I know Ace must have mindlinked them. Studentspletely disappear as Rykers growls


    and I feel his Alpha aura rush out in a burst. Mitchell nearly dropping to his knees, and I don¡¯t even feel


    the pain having gonepletely numb


    ¡°School is over get the fuck out¡± He booms making everyone run including the teachers leaving


    only four of Rykers pack members including Jacob and Tyson who had rushed over.


    Mitchell was still clinging to me and I realised Ryker hadn¡¯tmanded him to leave, though he


    looked pale from Rykers aura smashing into him.


    ¡°Get her out of here¡± I hear my stepfather bellowed before Ace and Tyson look at me about to


    suddenly facing them after having them see this? I was mortified, ashamed and never had I ever felt so


    disgusting and weak now everyone has seen it including both my mates. Now everyone has witnessed


    my horror, witnessed my darkest secret and my most shameful moment. Now everyone knows.

    I turned around and ran, not seeing the ss door was closed with my blurry vision as I ran t


    out. I crash straight through them, ss cutting into my hands, face and chest as I hit the ground with a


    thud, my teeth biting into my tongue as my chin smacks the ground yet I still felt no pain, but could


    taste my own blood filling my mouth, smell the bleeding from my cuts, yet no pain just shame, just


    humiliation that cut so deep I suddenly wished I would just drop dead so I didn¡¯t have to face them.


    ¡°Shit lucy¡± I hear Mitchell shriek but I get up and continue to run, unable to face any of them, not


    wanting to see the judgement at how I oculd be so stupid to get myself in that situation, how weak I am,


    but most of all I didn¡¯t want to see their pity. It is one thing for them to know what happened but having


    a glimpse of it sickened me.


    ¡°Lucy wait¡± I hear one of them call but I don''t stop, instead running straight out of school.

    Chapter 49


    Tyson POV


    I didn¡¯t even make it to work before Ace¡¯s voice boomed across the mindlink. What I wasn¡¯t


    prepared for was rushing to the school to see such a vile act against Lucy. Ryker Jacob and a few


    other pack warriors from Ryker¡¯s Pack arrived at the same time and we all froze as we looked around


    the quad of the highschool. Hundreds of pictures of Lucy hung on the walls and I froze in shock. It was


    one thing to know what that man tried to do but to see it. I suddenly wished I hadn¡¯t, wished I could


    remove this memory from my head, remove the images from my mind. It was one of those horrific


    scenarios you just couldn¡¯t unsee once you saw it. The pure fear on her face couldn¡¯t be mistaken as


    she ran from that ssroom. Teachers were racing around trying to pull them down while students


    lingered and whispered.


    Ryker started screaming orders and shut the school down while I scanned the quad looking for


    Lucy. Her horror in the photos was the exact same mask she was wearing on her face when I spotted


    her. Like she was reliving that day, like she was no longer here but trapped in her memories. Mitchell


    was gripping her arms, shaking her but she was frozen in ce, her eyes looking around at pictures


    exposing her. She looked devastated, vulnerable but most of all she looked like she was about to


    break. Her eyes were ssy as she fought back tears and I couldn¡¯t decipher any emotion through the


    bond, like she shut down.


    ¡°Get her out of here¡± Ryker yelled at no one in particr. Ace turns tossing the pictures in his hand


    in the bin and I turn back to look at her. Yet as her eyes darted to us, her face was morphing and I


    couldn¡¯t decipher the look on her face when she turned around and ran. Running for the doors, Mitchell


    moved to chase after her but she was running like her life depended on it, no she was running like she


    was running from her teacher, running from the man that nearly destroyed her, but this I think just may


    be what finishes her off. As she approached the ss sliding doors I could see she was too stuck in


    her head and I screamed out to her.


    ¡°Lucy¡± I choked out but it was toote as she burst through the doors, tripping on the lip of the door


    and falling through the ss. The doors burst like an explosion and Mitchell jumps back just in time as


    the ss shatters covering her in its sharp shards cutting her to pieces. She crawls to her hands and


    feet and everyone holds their breath as the ss crunches under her.


    A few lingering students snickering to themselves and Ace growls making them dart off like their


    asses were on fire. She stands so quickly I almost missed the movement before she took off running


    from us.


    ¡°Lucy wait¡± Both Mitchell and Ace scream after her but she was gone in a blur, leaving behind a


    blood trail as she runs through the school''s corridors while we chase after her.


    The moment we were out of the school gates Ace shifted and so did Mitchell, their clothes


    shredding as they gave chase. But Lucy was fast, and running on adrenaline, I could almost feel it


    coursing through her veins through the bond. We stood no chance of catching her. Hybrids were fast


    but Lucy was more vampire than Hybrid making her quicker as her vampire DNA was strongest of all.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    After losing her in the forest that surrounded the highschool and primary school we had to follow


    the scent of her blood which was easy, blood drops leaving a clear path after her.


    ¡°How the fuck did this happen?¡± I mindlink Ace and Mitchell who were running off the side of me.


    ¡°The Quad doesn¡¯t get opened till the first bell, as soon as the janitor noticed he went to retrieve


    the principal but by then Lucy was already at school¡± Mitchell exins but that still didn¡¯t exin how


    the person responsible got into the Quad.


    When the blood trail starts to be more obvious we realize she has started to slow down and


    so do we. Listening for movement but with the stream running alongside the forest it was hard to pick


    up any movement when I realized we were getting close to Ryker¡¯s packhouse.


    Breaking through the treeline we slow as the front of the packhousees into view. Lucy was still


    running toward the packhouse when the most heartbreaking guttural scream left her. You could hear


    her devastation, feel her breaking as she started toe apart at the seams..


    ¡°Mum!¡± One word but the way it was screamed was gut wrenching and soul crushing and filled with


    the torment that was swirling within her like a tornado. Lucy doesn¡¯t stop, jumping clear over the


    boundary fence that surrounded this side of the property. I see the front door of the packhouse open,


    Reika rushing out the door in a panic and my heart falters for a second at her reaction, wondering if she


    would be mad.


    ¡°Lucy?¡± Rieka says before spotting her daughter running toward her. Reika¡¯s face panic stricken


    before she takes off running toward her daughter. Lucy runs straight into arms with so much force they


    both tumble toward the ground, Reika catching her and crushing her against her chest while Lucy


    wails.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, what''s wrong baby¡± Reika says her voice panicked as Lucy clung to her like she


    was her life support. Reika also clinging to her as we approached. All of us slow down as we give them


    space. Lucy was crying hysterically, wailing as her mother tried to soothe her, rocking her back and


    forth in her arms as they sat in the dirt.


    Rieka hisses and I realize there is ss still sticking out of Lucy¡¯s face and arms and was cutting


    into her yet she doesn¡¯t let her go, realizing her daughter needs her. Reika¡¯s eyes darted to us


    questionably and I realized she was unaware of what happened at the school. I could hear Ryden


    inside crying and Reika looks back at the house when Mitchell suddenly shifts back covering himself


    with his hands.


    ¡°I can go get him, Luna¡± He says and Reika nods to him. Mitchell rushes off to the packhouse and


    Atticus approaches Reika and Lucy on the ground. I also approach them and kneel down beside them


    pulling the ss from her arms and hands. Atticus Ace¡¯s wolf licking her wounds yet I couldn''t get to


    her face as it was buried in Reika¡¯s chest.


    ¡°Lucy honey let your mates heal you¡± Reika says softly, pulling Lucy¡¯s face from her chest with her


    hands. She had ss jutting out of her cheek, anotherrge shard piercing through her chin.

    Chapter 50


    Her entire body was shaking yet she didn¡¯t even flinch as I pulled the first three pieces of ss


    from her face when she started shaking her head and pushing my hands away instead of letting me


    pull the rest out.


    ¡°Lucy stop, let them¡± Reika says, gripping her face in her hands.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, what happened baby¡± Reika says, tears falling down her cheeks at seeing her


    daughter so frantic. Lucy tries to talk yet can¡¯t seem to catch her breath as she starts to hyperventte


    gasping for breath. Tears continue to pour from her eyes when she suddenly starts iling, ripping


    handfuls of her hair out and wing at her face. I watch as Reika frantically tries to catch her hands


    from ripping herself apart while Lucy starts screaming.


    My stomach twists at the sight of her. Ace shifts back trying to grip her hands and hold her still


    while Reika tries to soothe her but she is way past soothing. She was turning manic, this is what broke


    looks like. When someone is pushed to close the edge leaving them sitting dangerously on the brink of


    insanity, she was losing it and nothing we did was calming her as she tore at her face, her scalp


    bleeding as she tore her hair from her head. You can only push someone so far before it bes too


    much and Lucy had hit breaking point and break she did.


    ¡°Do it¡± Reika says, her eyes going to Ace and I. Ace falls back shaking his head.


    ¡°I can¡¯t, I can¡¯t do that to her, not again¡± He says shaking his head and Reika¡¯s eyes dart to me and


    so does Ace¡¯s.


    ¡°Remark her¡± He chokes out looking at me, but I hesitate knowing if I remark her, not only will I


    knock her out but it would reinforce the bond. I know from Lana that being marked repeatedly over the


    years both her mates had to rebite her as the bond became strengthened more one way.


    Ace hadn¡¯t marked her yet, me marking her before both us have mated her could remove her bond


    to Acepletely.


    ¡°Ace?¡± I look at him, panicked.


    ¡°It''s ok brother, I won¡¯t mark her again without permission¡± He says.


    ¡°Ace?¡± I look at him while Reika was still trying to restrain her.


    ¡°One of you needs to do it and fast,¡± Reika snapped at us while Lucy screamed and iled.


    ¡°It''s fine, just do it Tyson¡± Ace says moving her hair off her neck, I hesitate when Tyrant forces


    control, sinking our teeth into her neck. She screams and I choke on her emotions as they m into me


    full force like they were mine and not hers. My teeth hitting bone and her movements slow and be


    weaker.


    ¡°It''s ok baby, mumma¡¯s got you¡± Reika whispers to her before she goes still. I pull my teeth from


    her neck as she slumps forward onto Reika. I quickly pull the ss from her wounds and she starts


    healing when Ace suddenly stands making me look up at him and my stomach drops at the dark


    expression on his face yet he says nothing and bends down taking her from Reika, hugging her close


    to his chest.


    ¡°I fixed her room up the other day, we can put her in there¡± Reika says, standing up. Her chest and


    neck are covered in blood but her cuts had already healed. Ace nods to her before walking toward the


    packhouse silently, yet his aura was potent as it rushed out of him and I wasn¡¯t sure if he was mad at


    me or himself.


    ¡°It will be okay Ace, she won¡¯t reject you when ites time to mark her¡± I tell him through the


    mindlink as we walked toward the house.


    ¡°I can¡¯t feel them, Tyson,¡± He says.


    ¡°Pardon?¡± I ask.


    ¡°The tingles, I can¡¯t feel them¡±


    ¡°It may only be temporary¡± I tell him.


    ¡°I hope so¡± he says as he continues toward the house.


    Walking inside, Mitchell was standing in the foyer with a towel around his waist and Ryden in his


    arms while he gave him his pacifier, rocking Ryden in his arms.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know how much form¡± He says but Ryden seeme fine as he sucked on his pacifier. He


    hands him to Reika who takes him.


    ¡°I will be up in a minute¡± She says to Ace who starts climbing the stairs toward Lucy¡¯s old room.


    Reika walked toward the kitchen.


    ¡°I should go,¡± Mitchell says and I shake my head.


    ¡°You can stay if you want¡± I tell him and he nods looking down at the towel around his waist.


    ¡°I will just duck home and grab some clothes¡± he says and I nod.


    ¡°I wille back soon,¡± He says, walking toward the front door.


    I walk upstairs to Lucy''s bedroom, pushing the door open. I find Aceying beside Lucy on her


    bed. The entire room had been transformed back to the way it was. Reika had even managed to reprint


    all Lucy¡¯s photos that hung the walls and reced them. Ace wasying beside Lucy and he had


    tucked her purpleforter under her chin brushing her hair from her face, his head propped on his


    hand as he watched her.


    ¡°This is my fault¡± He says and I shake my head.


    ¡°No Tyson it is, this all started because I was with Mna and when Lucy wakes up she will realize


    that and want nothing to do with me¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not your fault Ace, Lucy will see that¡±


    ¡°Will you stop it, stop covering for me Tyson. You don¡¯t have to fix this, I know what I have done, if


    Lucy wakes up and doesn¡¯t want me, you let her walk away, I won¡¯t cause any more damage to her¡±


    Ace says sitting up.


    ¡°That won¡¯t happen Ace, Lucy loves you, loves both of us. You can¡¯t just walk away from the mate


    bond¡±


    ¡°What mate bond Tyson, she won¡¯t feel it and I won¡¯t have you making her feel bad if she doesn¡¯t


    want me any more¡±


    ¡°You are being ridiculous. This changes nothing, you don¡¯t get to walk away, if you loved her you


    would fight for her¡±


    ¡°No it is because I love her that I would let her go and let her be free of me, let her be happy with


    you, everyone is right Tyson, you are the good twin, you did everything right from the start. I don¡¯t


    deserve her, and Lucy deserves better than me and that is you¡± Ace says before walking out of the


    room.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡± I call after him yet he doesn¡¯t answer, instead running down the steps and


    leaving the house.

    Chapter 51


    Lucy POV


    My head was pounding when I woke up, I wished I didn¡¯t wake up at all, the numbness worn away


    leaving fear and humiliation. The moment I did everything smashed into me like a tonne of bricks


    threatening to suffocate me, restricting my ability to breathe. I was never going to escape him, even


    now when he can¡¯t get to me he still haunts me, still lingers at the edge of my mind. Opening my eyes, I


    find myself lying beside my mother who is asleep beside me on a bed that resembles my old one. It


    even has the same matchingforter I had before my room was destroyed. I sit up on one elbow and


    look around and realize I am in my old room. Everything back to the way it was before I left for school


    in Avalon City.


    It was like I stepped back in time before everything went to shit, a glimpse into my old life, a


    glimpse of the person I once was. Now though I see my old life differently. Find the darkest parts of it


    looming over me and I realize how naive and young I truly was nearly a year ago. Pictures of me


    having fun with Mitchell when we went to the beach, and bowling hung on the walls. Mum had blown


    those up and framed them. Photos of Rayan and I. Some of Ace and Tyson, it all seemed like a lifetime


    ago as I spotted each one on the walls.


    It''s funny how it only takes one thing to ruin your essence. One thing to burn the light out of your


    soul and dim the spark of life within you. Spending my early childhood in the facility was tough, horrific


    and a brutal ce to grow up in. But once I was freed, I thought that was the end of the suffering. I had


    hopes and ns and was excited for my future and to experience the world to its fullest. The pictures


    held hope while I now felt nothing but hopeless and exposed.


    Growing up in that ce was solitude, loneliness, and hopelessness stepping out was


    experiencing everything for the first time. The way fresh air smelt, how the breeze felt on my skin, the


    feel of the earth under your bare feet was all new to me and I was ecstatic at my newfound freedom.


    Sure that ce sometimes haunts me still, the memories forever ingrained in my head yet I was able to


    disassociate them from the life I had outside that ce, separate it from me and allow myself to feel


    safe for once.


    But Mr Tanner ruined that sense of safety. It took years of counselling and years of upational


    therapy during the first few years of my freedom. Even just learning to adjust, that ce made me


    institutionalised and I struggled without the constant routine, always looking over my shoulder and on


    edge waiting for the doctors toe in and poke and prod us. Then everything went down the drain


    again, all that time gone and I was finally free and happy within myself and I felt safe.


    Only to have blindfold ripped off and be shown that even out here monsters exist. Showed me that


    they are lurking in the shadows only now I am older and the horrors more real because I knew how


    dangerous they were. I was at the age where I should be able to understand and pick up the signs of


    what a monster looked like. How could I be wrong and blind to it when I was raised in a facility full of


    them torturing us.


    You would think I would be able to recognise them instantly. Yet no one tells you the biggest


    monsters are those we put our trust in, those we blindly trust because they swore to protect and teach


    us. Now looking back, the signs were there. I just missed them. But now they were startlingly clear. And


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    I feared I would never be able to go back to thefortable bliss I lived in before he tried to destroy


    me.


    The way he used to hang around us students, us girls in particr. The way he would help us get


    away with things and bail us out.


    I thought he was just one of the good teachers, a friend even. An adult that saw us for who we were


    instead of just pitying the mutated freaks. But I learned everythinges with a price, I just didn¡¯t see it


    then.


    So does it make it my fault because I missed the warning signs. Even when he asked me to pull


    the blind down, something was screaming at me that something was off, yet I shoved it aside stupidly


    trusting the devil in disguise. So now I find myself questioning everyone''s intentions, looking for


    anything to warn me away. I missed how before it all, I was carefree, invincible and free of my own


    tormented mind.


    I missed my innocence when the world looked colourful and beautiful. Now I only see the darkness


    in everything, the things that could go wrong. Now I worry about how I dress, how I talk, how much of


    myself do I put on disy. That worries me, along with, can they all tell? Can they see how disgusting I


    am? Can they see how much I hated what he tried to do, how much I hate myself for almost letting him


    seed in doing it? But the biggest burning question is, do they me me the same way I me


    myself for not seeing the warning signs. Did I ask for it and is it my fault?


    Looking at my mother, I truly see her for the first time. See why Amanda snapped. I was the


    nightmare Amanda kept living, the memory ingrained in her mind like he is in mine. Tragically broken


    and left with only the broken pieces and no matter how much glue, how much force and strength you


    used to hold those pieces together it only takes one trigger to shatter them all over again and dissolve


    the little safety you felt.


    Hearing movement, I look down between us and find Ryden stirring before feeling movement


    behind me making me look over my shoulder to see Rayan curled up and jammed in my back as he


    snuggled against me. Turning back to face my mother, I find her eyes open, staring back at me.

 Chapter 52

    Chapter 52


    I watch as she presses her lips together and my breathing hitches wondering if she knew what


    Josie and Mna did, it was the only exnation as to how those photos got out, yet even banished


    we no longer cast rogues out they were still allowed to join other packs just had to get off the turf of the


    pack they were banished from. But I couldn¡¯t see my mother or Ryker epting them into the pack,


    making me wonder how they got into this territory unnoticed let alone on school grounds. Judging by


    the look on my mothers face she knew exactly what they did as her eyes softened and turned teary.


    She reaches over, gripping my hand that was by my face before kissing it, and holding tight. Her


    hand is warm as she brushes her thumb over my fingers softly.


    ¡°You don¡¯t let them win, what happened happened, it is not who you are. You are not the things


    that happen to you Lucy, so don¡¯t keep giving them control¡± She whispers. A lump forms in my throat as


    emotion tries to choke me.


    ¡°Everyone knows mum, everyone saw it¡± I tell her. Shame crushing me, everyone knew now, my


    secret was out and my agony on disy for them all to judge and see.


    ¡°Let them see, let them see you survived what they couldn¡¯t. People break for less Lucy. You learnt


    to live, you will learn again. You know what I see?¡± She asks, her eyes holding mine and I swallow,


    wondering if she saw the same sharp shards of my soul that were jutting through my flesh and slowly


    killing me. I wondered if she saw me the same way I saw myself, disgustingly weak, and naive. The


    foolish girl that walked into the den of a monster and let him almost destroy her.


    ¡°I see my daughter, I see the little girl who grew up in a ss cage surrounded by people who tried


    to break her but couldn¡¯t. I watched you die but then I watched you live, it was hard but you did it, you


    rebuilt yourself to be the woman you are. You fought so goddamn hard to put that ce behind


    you and to live a normal life. If they couldn¡¯t break you in that ce don¡¯t let one man do it. You


    survived hunters as a child, you survived your own death, and you will survive this because I know my


    daughter and I see you and you will not break so don¡¯t give them that satisfaction, a lesser person


    would break but not my Lucy, my Lucy is a survivor¡± She says before wiping my tears.


    I sniffle and nod trying to force myself to believe her words, this was the woman I missed, even


    when everything happened, even when I knew we weren¡¯t on the best terms all I could think was, I


    needed my mum. Mum could fix this, she would make it go away. Now I realize she couldn¡¯t but she


    wouldn¡¯t let me fall either. She would hold me up when I no longer could because she is my mum, the


    woman who tossed away a huge part of herself for me. The woman who chose me over her wolf and


    still forgave me for almost destroying her.


    Ryden stirs crying out and I reach over with my other hand rubbing his belly in a circr motion


    before looking up at my mother.


    ¡°Where are my mates?¡± I ask her.


    ¡°Tyson is Downstairs but Ace went with your father, Mitchell went home, I had Jacob drop him


    home¡±


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    ¡°Where did Dad go?¡±


    ¡°He is tearing the city apart with Ace looking for Josie and Mna¡± I swallow before nodding my


    head. How could someone who used to be my best friend cause so much destruction to my life. It didn¡¯t


    make sense. She was a woman too, how could another woman do that to another. Brand their soul with


    such cruelty, and put them on disy like that? I could never do what she did no matter how much I


    hated her. How much pain she caused me, I could not do that to another woman and live with myself.


    ¡°Your father said it will be your choice what bes of them¡± My mother tells me but I didn¡¯t want


    that choice, I didn¡¯t want to be the monster, I dealt with monsters my entire life I wasn¡¯t going to


    be one.


    ¡°I can''t,¡± I whisper to her. I just wanted to understand why she would hurt me this way. We grew up


    together, lived the same nightmare and were bonded by it and yet she still did this.


    ¡°You can''t do what Lucy?¡± My mother asks me.


    ¡°Decide their fate¡± I tell her, I couldn¡¯t do it. I hated them and I knew that would taint my judgement


    and I wouldn''t stoop to their level. I didn¡¯t need to destroy them the way they did me. I know how that


    feels and banishment wasn¡¯t enough but I couldn¡¯t take their lives because that would be on me.I


    couldn¡¯t have their deaths on my hands.


    ¡°Then I will do it¡± She says, making my eyes dart to hers.


    ¡°No one messes with my children and gets to keep breathing afterwards¡± She says and I gulp at


    her words seeing the determination in her eyes. She meant every word she said I would never doubt


    that, yet could I let her do this? Would it be the same as me signing their death warrant?


    ¡°Mum?¡± I whisper.


    ¡°I know you Lucy, I know you don¡¯t want to do it. But they will pay, you don¡¯t don¡¯t have to live with


    their deaths on your hands, but I would wear their blood happily on mine. There is no bigger monster


    than a mothers wrath and I will make them pay with their lives¡± She says, though I know it was a


    promise, one she would keep.


    They would pay and I feel sorry for anyone that gets in her way, because she would destroy them.


    She wasn¡¯t just the Queen she was my mother and I feared my mother more than her title as Queen


    because as Queen she ruled fairly but as my mother she would destroy them until there was nothing


    left but a hollow corpse of despair, one thing my mother did best was switch from diplomatic to war lord


    and Josie and Mna have no idea who they just signed up to war with and my mother doesn¡¯t fight


    fair. .

 Chapter 53

    Chapter 53


    Ace POV


    We searched everywhere, even split off to a few different territories searching for Mna and


    Josie yet we came up empty. For the most part, the other pack Alpha¡¯s dly epted us on their


    territories leaving only one territory left unsearched which I knew was either going to be a t refusal or


    pain in the ass to convince.


    Ryker could demand entry onto Alpha Jamie¡¯s territory but would receive bacsh from the other


    packs for abusing his power. Thest thing we need is to go to war with the five packs surrounding


    ours, though two of the smaller new packs were less likely to give us trouble and my family''s packs


    outnumbered them. I knew for a fact the other three were itching for a chance to take on the Alpha King


    and with a new baby and his family to protect, I also knew right now that wasn¡¯t something Ryer was


    willing to risk.


    Pulling up at the bridge crossing between the two territories Ryker gets out of the car.


    ¡°Stay here and keep your mouth shut¡± Ryker snarls at me when I go to take my seatbelt off. I fold


    Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    my arms across my chest ring out the windshield as Ryker approaches the boundary line. Alpha


    Jamie the smug bastard was leaning against the barricade of the bridge like he had no care in the


    world.


    He smiles brightly as Ryker approaches and bows his head slightly to Ryker but in no way was he


    about to bow down to even the Alpha King. Alpha Jamie had called in reinforcements to witness this


    showdown and I knew as soon as we pulled up when I spotted two of the Alphas from rival packs


    standing on Jamies side that they were here to see if Ryker forced entry onto Jamie''s territory.


    ¡°Fuck this¡± I mutter to myself tossing the door open, Ryker looks over his shoulder at me, his lips


    pulling back over his teeth and his canines slipping out before his voice booms through the mindlink.


    ¡°Get back in the fucking car Ace¡± Hismand rolling over me and I falter but grit my teeth


    through it. Alpha Jamie¡¯s taunting knowing smile irritates me as I fight the urge to turn around and get


    back in the car.


    ¡°Run along boy, let us adults handle this¡± Jamie taunts, setting my blood on fire.


    ¡°Step over this side and say it, see how cocky you are then¡± I spit at him forcing Ryker¡¯smand


    off and taking a step forward. Pain radiates and coils around my muscles but just them witnessing me


    fighting off his aura was enough to make Jamie stammer. Ryker may be king but we have the same


    blood running through our veins.


    ¡°Ace get in the car, I will handle this¡± Ryker tells me.


    ¡°Exactly what will you be handling, the answer is no and if you step on my territory I have


    witnesses Ryker .


    You¡¯re a smart man, would it be worth angering the packs if you storm on into my territory.


    ¡°You are harbouring rogues thatmitted treason against the Alpha king''s family¡± Ryker


    bellowed and Jamie shudders as his aura rushes at him forcing him to his knees as he bares his neck.


    The two other Alpha¡¯s nce nervously at each other.


    ¡°She isn¡¯t blood therefore not treason, just normal schoolyard bullying and unless you have proof


    of them being on my territory you have no right to ask for entry, especially for a mutated freak¡± Jamie


    grits out through clenched teeth. Ryker steps toward him a growl escaping him and Jamieughs


    sadistically while the two Alpha look on the verge of wetting themselves.


    ¡°Go on my king step over the border but make sure you smile for the camera¡± Jamie says and


    Ryker freezes looking toward the car parked and blocking the bridge. I could see the blinking red light


    and knew they were recording this and no doubt would be live streaming it to the surrounding packs.


    Yet Alpha Jamie wasn¡¯t someone to mess with lightly, his drug connections not only had the humans on


    his side but other supernaturals that were part of his organization. Ryker had been trying to get him


    shut down for years but somehow he always managed to get himself out of trouble with the help of the


    supernatural society pulling strings for him and the human government.


    Pack wars were one thing but a t out war with supernaturals was another thing entirely. I knew if


    it came down to it, Avalon city¡¯s upants woulde running if their high priestess Avery stepped


    forward and dered war, which I had no doubt she would if our family was threatened, but war was


    something we tried to avoid. The casualties amongst the humans and our own kind would be damaging


    and humans would cause a headache with their armies which outnumber the supernaturals 10 to 1. No


    one wants to go to war, it''s not worth the risk of causing world war 3.


    ¡°When I get proof Jamie you better run for the fucking hills for getting in my way¡± Ryker warns him.


    ¡°Well until then Alpha king get the fuck off my territory¡± Jamie grits out, sweat was now rolling


    down his face and neck and drenching his shirt as he tried his best not to cry out, and I knew he must


    be in agony, If Ryker really wanted to put on a disy I knew he would be screaming and begging


    Ryker to let themand go, but with witnesses andws sanctioning all supernaturals now it wasn¡¯t


    worth the headache it was cause him.


    Ryker starts walking back to me and drops hismand over Jamie. I could tell he wanted to rip


    him apart butws had his hands tied.


    ¡°Get in the car, you just had to get out¡± Ryker growls at me. I go to argue with him but the look he


    gives me has me shutting my mouth and obeying.


    I got in the car before hearing the mindlink open up to all five of our family packs which were all


    interlinked.


    ¡°Alpha Jamie crosses into any territory I order you to kill on site, do not grant him entry or try and


    talk to him¡± Ryker snarls through the bond. His aura was so violent and potent in the car I was trying to


    stop my hands trembling as I fought against him.


    A chorus of yes Alpha and everyone asking what was going on slipped through the link, but Ryker


    was much too angry to exin as I heard my sisters, aunty and brother-inws voices slip into the


    mindlink. My mother frantically tries to get answers but Ryker cuts the link shutting them out.


    ¡°I will exinter¡± He tells me and I nod as Ryker starts the car.


    ¡°He will slip up, those girls won¡¯t be able to resist hiding for long and when theye out I will


    show them what nightmares are made of¡± Ryker growls.


    ¡°So what now, I just go home and tell Lucy she has to deal with it until we find them¡± I tell him


    annoyed that we couldn¡¯t just finish this shit once and for all.


    ¡°Yes exactly what you will do, keep her safe and at home until then¡± I growl annoyed at his words


    but also know there is nothing else we can do for now.


    ¡°If she still wants me¡± I mutter to myself.


    ¡°Well you should have thought about that before you stuck your dick in someone that wasn¡¯t your


    mate¡± Ryker tells me.


    ¡°You think I don¡¯t wish I could take that back¡± I snap at him, sick of everyone throwing it in my face.


    ¡°You knew she was your mate and still did it¡± Ryker says simply.


    ¡°You know the bond is gone right?¡± I tell him and he nods.


    ¡°Tyson told me, she wille around, she knows you are her mate, why didn¡¯t you just mark her


    again, she would have forgiven you?¡±


    ¡°Yes but I don¡¯t think I would forgive myself, She has had enough people hurt her, I have hurt her. I


    won¡¯t make that mistake again¡± I tell him as we head back to the pack house.


    ¡°And if she doesn¡¯t want you then what?¡±


    ¡°Lana said I could move to their pack¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re going to leave?¡± He asks.


    ¡°If she doesn¡¯t want me I won¡¯t be the one to cause conflict between Tyson and her¡±

    Rayan eventually woke up and mum had to leave to make a bottle for Ryden. I didn¡¯t want to leave


    the little bubble of my room, but I missed my mates too and I wanted to go home. As much as I loved


    being here it was no longer home anymore. Getting up, I grab a bag just as my motheres back in


    with Ryden in her arms feeding him a bottle.


    ¡°You¡¯re leaving again?¡±She asks and I nod.


    ¡°Well I can help you pack. I reced most of everything, Ryker kept a detailed list of everything I


    turfed thank god, but a lot I found in Rayan¡¯s room¡± She says and I could see the guilt on her face as


    she ced Ryden down on the bed.


    ¡°Lucy, I am sorry for everything, I should have told you about Amanda, I never should have-¡± I


    wave her off.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine mum, I get it. I really do, I know that wasn¡¯t you and even if it was I understand it¡± I tell her


    and she nods before opening some of the draws and pulling my clothes out and putting them in the


    duffle bag.


    ¡°Is Tyson still here?¡± I ask her and she nods.


    ¡°Yes he hasn¡¯t left except to get his car¡± She tells me and I feel relief flooding me.


    ¡°What about Ace?¡±


    ¡°Ryker is dropping him home now, he wants to give you some space¡± She tells me and my brows


    furrow.

    will be here no matter what you choose Lucy¡± She tells me making me more confused.

    ¡°You aren¡¯t staying?¡± He asks sadly and I feel my heart clench.

    Ryden back to mum and I hug him close before kissing his head.


    Leaning over the back of the couch in the living room I find Tyson asleep, his mouth wide open as


    he snored. I jam my fingers in mouth and he chokes jolting upright and Iugh at him.


    ¡°What the fuck¡± He chokes out before noticing me.


    ¡°Lucy?¡± He says and I smile at him before he jumps off the couch in a blur racing around it before


    engulfing me in a hug. Tingles rushed everywhere so much stronger than before and my mark tingled,


    making me shiver as I leaned into him.


    ¡°You¡¯re ok, you made me worry for a bit?¡± I nod, hugging him back. I was far from ok but I had my


    mates and my family.


    ¡°Yeah I am fine, I just want to go home¡± I tell him, pressing my nose into his neck and inhaling his


    scent.

    peace with Tyson, I know I don¡¯t deserve you after everything I put you through, after what I have done¡±


    I let his words sink in for a second, he was giving me an out. But I didn¡¯t want an out, we were all paired


    together for a reason and if the Moon Goddess believed it would work I had no reason to doubt her,


    right? It was unconventional to be destined to two mates yet them being twins I knew it would work. It


    worked for Aunty Lana and so many others. Tyson may agree the choice is mine, but it wasn¡¯t it was up


    to the Moon Goddess and If I was to be paired with anyone I am now d it was two people I knew,


    two people I loved anyway. Two people who loved me just as much as I loved them.


    ¡°Just let me gather a few things, and I will go¡± Ace says, mistaking my silence for rejection, why


    does he think I would just toss him aside after everything? Yes Ace fucked up, but he can¡¯t be med


    for Josie and Mna, he thought he was doing the right thing by banishing them, he had the right


    intentions and it wasn;t his fault they retaliated by trying to ruin me.


    ¡°What? No¡± I tell him in panic, that was thest thing I wanted the entire time at home all I could


    think about wasing home to my mates, that meant both of them. Ace stops and turns around to


    face me, his eyes moving to Tyson but Tyson doesn¡¯t interrupt or add anything, just watches us, though


    I could feel his worry loud and clear through the bond.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to say yes because of Tyson Lucy, I know Tyson is the better choice¡± Ace says


    stunning me. I shake my head stepping closer to him and I could feel Tyson watching us but he


    remains quiet and I realise they were really giving me the choice to turn him away.


    ¡°There is no better choice Ace, if I can¡¯t have both of you then I would rather have neither of you¡± I


    tell him. His eyebrows pinch together before he looks at Tyson behind me. I couldn¡¯t choose and I didn¡¯t


    want to and it would destroy both of them if they didn¡¯t have each other and it would destroy me to not


    have them. I marked Tyson already and he has marked me, but that didn¡¯t mean I felt nothing for Ace.


    Yes the bond was gone but I have always loved them, I just didn¡¯t realize it.


    ¡°So you want me to stay?¡± Ace asks, scratching the back of his neck looking down at me, I run my


    hands across his chest to his shoulders, stepping closer to him. He needed to understand this decision


    is what I wanted, that it wasn¡¯t influenced by Tyson in any way but just my need for him to stay.


    ¡°You¡¯re mine Ace, nothing changes that. You are mine just as I am yours¡± I tell him.


    ¡°You¡¯re not just saying that for Tyson are you. I can¡¯t feel you Lucy so I need to be sure.

    The creaking of the cell door has my head snapping up to see Alpha Jamie walk into the cell I was


    stuffed in. Mna said we would be safe here but the moment we stepped over the pack border after


    Ace banished us we had been dragged to the cells and separated.


    ¡°Where is my sister?¡± I ask, looking at the man that had ruined her life from the moment we left the


    facility. Recruiting kids to run his drugs on the street, he was as low as theye, Mna never stood


    a chance when he took us in. Only to send us off to Ace¡¯s pack a yearter as a spy, under the excuse


    he didn¡¯t want mutations breeding with his pack.


    ¡°You don¡¯t ask questions mutt, now get up and follow me¡± He growls and I get off the concrete


    floor. My back cracked as I stood up. I had no idea how long I had been stuck down here, but the


    tightness of my muscles meant I had been here for at least a few hours already. Walking up the steps I


    step outside of the bunker. Alpha Jamie shoves me toward the packhouse and I nearly stumble.


    ¡°Get moving, she should have let you die, it would have saved all this Drama¡± Alpha Jamie snaps


    at me. I feel my stomach sink. He was right, this was my fault. My sister is the only reason I am still


    alive. I walk toward the Packhouse keeping my head down when I pick up my sister''s scent, making me


    move quicker as I step inside. The polished floorboard making my sneakers squeak.


    Turning into the living room, I see my sister sitting in the armchair by the firece, her lip was split


    but already healing and she had a huge ck eye. Tears brim in my eyes at the sight of her, knowing it

    checking me over.


    This was my fault, she is hurting because of me. I put my trust in the wrong person. I thought I


    could trust him, how was I supposed to know he was going to keep Alpha Jamie¡¯s shipment for himself.


    He said he would do the job, he is my mate. I had no reason to think he would do that to me. Mates


    were supposed to love us, clearly that was a lie.


    ¡°Both fucking useless, you were supposed to convince Ace to hand thatnd over not fall in love


    with him, is that why you rejected him Mna? I will fucking kill him is that what you want?¡± Alpha


    Jamie snaps at her. Mna shakes her head.


    ¡°No, no please. You know that¡¯s not why, I don¡¯t know what you expected. I told you Lucy was their


    mate, leave him out of it we can work something out. I will get you your money back¡± She begs him


    with tears rolling down her cheeks. Alpha Jamieughs cruelly.


    ¡°You got 500k Mna, the deal was you would convince Ace to sign thatnd over or I would kill


    your sister. So since I don¡¯t own that piece ofnd looks like it''s going to cost you your sister¡± He says,

    flickered ck like her wolf came forward for a second.

    walking toward my bedroom but I stop by his bedroom door.


    ¡°No yours, your bed is bigger and we can all fitfortably in it¡± I tell him. He stops looking at me


    and I push his bedroom door open. Ace also had a bigger room and I don¡¯t think Lucy will like bed


    hopping.


    ¡°You¡¯re ok with all this¡± Ace asks me following me inside, I flick the light on.


    ¡°Of course I am, why would you ask?¡±


    ¡°Because of what happened, I know this isn¡¯t normal for brothers to share a mate and you could


    have had her to yourself¡± I nod at his words.


    ¡°Good thing we know how to share then, she is your mate too Ace, I never wanted to take her from


    you¡± I tell him, cing her bag down next to the bed. Ace gentlyys her down, tucking her in while I


    start unpacking her bag.


    Ace opens some drawers clearing them out and I hand him her clothes before finding a photo


    album tucked down the side of the bag. I pull it out and Ace looks over at me.


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± He asks, sitting beside me on the edge of the bed.


    ¡°Her photo album¡± I tell him, opening it to see what was inside. Though I was shocked to find most


    of them were of us growing up together. Ace pulls a smaller one out which was full of family photos. He


    flicks through it but the album I was holding was mostly of us and Lucy.


    There were heaps of us camping together and at thegoon, her first day of school. Flicking further


    into the album I find some of when we first rescued her from the facility. How small she was and


    underweight. I looked over my shoulder at her sleeping, she was not this little girl anymore but a


    woman, yet the sadness in her eyes in these photos, the hollow look. I had seen over thest few


    weeks and I hated seeing that fear in her eyes again.


    ¡°I remember that day¡± Ace says, pointing to the picture of both of us inb coats sitting next to


    Lucy in the doctor''s office. Lucy had the same fear as her mother when she first got out. Took us 6


    months before she would get checked out by the pack doctor. Yet when they wanted to run tests she


    freaked out and refused, instead running from us. Ryker had to chase her down. Reika¡¯s fear didn¡¯t


    help though as she always waited in the car refusing to step foot in the ce, she still has that fear.

    ¡° What time is it, and where is Ace?¡±


    ¡°Ace is on patrol and I have no idea what the time is¡± he says, his eyes opening and he pulls back

    ¡°Avery said something to Ace that she believes your wolf isn¡¯t dead but dormant¡±


    ¡°Dormant?¡± I ask, but I couldn¡¯t wrap my head around what he was saying. I felt no presence of a

    ¡°It could just be you reacting to the bond, we weren¡¯t going to tell you, but decidedst night we


    don¡¯t want any more secrets between us, things are hard enough without us all hiding things from each

    ¡°Are you upset?¡± Tyson asks but I shake my head. I wasn¡¯t upset, I wasn''t anything. I was feeling

    patrolling the river all night. This damn river caused so many problems for us, yet not as many as that


    bloody demon my sister was mates with.


    Watching Ace though, it killed me and gave me doubts about what we were doing. If only I had


    instead of Satish, Alpha Jamie would have nothing to use over me, Josie would still be at school tucked


    safely away and never would have got involved in this mess.


    Looking at Josie where she was perched next to me on the branch she seemed stuck in her own


    head. So much pain behind her eyes and I know she was struggling the most. Lucy was her best friend


    for years and I was the one person that caused a rift between them or so I thought. I was angry when I


    found out she kept the knowledge of her own mate from me. If I had known he was a teacher and


    demon I would have kept a closer eye on her, maybe even pulled her from that damn school.


    Leaning back on the tree trunk I watched her, something had changed within her, gone was the


    sweet girl she used to be. Now she was bitter and angry and broken.


    ¡°So Mr Tanner huh?¡± I ask her, trying to get a reaction out of her.

 Chapter 72

    ?Chapter 72


    Mna


    I had to wait hours before managing to sneak into the territory. I guess I had my sister to thank for the added security. I trekked through the forest surrounding the packhouse, careful to move quietly, knowing the patrols would listen for the slightest noise. Yet the further I moved into Ace''s territory, the more my heart raced.


    I hated knowing I had left Nathaniel back in the cells; I had no choice. I would have been caught trying to break into the out- building. This was the better option. I just hoped they didn''t kill me before letting me exin. I needed to make things right, needed to fix this and save my mate.


    Moving through the trees, the packhouse came into view, and I had a clear shot straight for the house. I could see Tyson''s car and another I hadn''t seen before in the driveway, an Audi. Please be home, Ace. I could be willingly walking into my own death. If Ace wasn''t here, it was a guarantee, though I was nervous.


    Ace told me if he ever saw me again, he would kill me, but I stood a better chance of finding him than Tyson. Tyson wouldn''t even blink before he killed me, no skin off his nose. He had wanted to do it for years; now, I understand why.


    I tried to will my feet to move and step out of the shadows concealing me behind the shed. I had to do this. I had to do this for my mate and everyone else in the cells, for Emily, so she could get her mother back. Josie chose already, she chose wrong, and I was sick of digging her out of trouble. I resigned myself to her fate. I wouldn''t seal my mate''s, too, not when he was willing to forgive me for what I had done. I wouldn''t risk losing him again.


    Swallowing down my fear, I made a beeline for the front of the house. I rushed up the stairs before knocking on the door. No one answered, but I could hear movement inside. I knocked again, ncing around, worried about patrols spotting me. When there was no answer, I walked around to Ace''s window. He usually left it unlocked. I reached up, gripping the windowsill and peering in.


    I gasped, about to duck down and go to the front door, when I spotted Lucy straddling Ace, my cheeks redden and I was about to step away when I heard a feral snarl. "F*cking Mna." My head turned back to the window to see Lucy stalking toward me. She didn''t even open it, and I didn''t know what was more shocking, the fact that she dived through the closed window at me or the fact she shifted.


    Her body crashed into mine and knocked me to the ground, her wolf tearing into my shoulder, and I was too shocked to react at first. Her teeth sank into my leg, and she viciously shook her head. I tried to push her face away. I knew that Ace and Tyson would kill me if I attacked her back.


    Tysonunched out the window, ripping the entire frame out as his wolf barreled out, and Lucy''s wolf grabbed my arm, flinging me across the ground like a rag doll. Gravel tore at my hands as I put them out instinctively. Lucy suddenly shifted back, stalking toward me.


    "Wait, I am here to help."


    "I will help you alright, help fu*cking bury you," she screamed at me. I looked at Ace, who was just staring at me with a disgusted look on his face when I felt Lucy''s fist connect with my face. Blood sprayed the ground when she was suddenly straddling my wa!st.


    "Fight back, bitch," she screamed angrily while I tried to block her blows. Her screaming anger was potent, her aura smashing against me, and I knew they had both marked her and could smell them all over her.


    "Lucy, stop. Listen, please," I begged her as she pummeled me, bing angrier when I didn''t fight back. I felt my ribs break on the left side when her weight was suddenly gone. Her furious scream resonated through the air, and I put my hand up when Tyson stalked toward me.


    "Wait, please."


    "Tyson, leave her," Ace bellowed, and Lucy shrieked louder, shifting in Ace''s grip.


    "I am not defending her, Lucy. Stop,¡± he said, refusing to let her go, even as she shifted and tore into him.


    Tyson growled at him and turned toward Ace, who dropped to the ground. I could hear him trying to calm her down, whispering softly to her.


    "She knewing back here would be her death. I know Mna. She wouldn''t risk her hide for anyone unless she is desperate," Ace said to her, and the wolf''s wild thrashing slowed, her breathing still heavy.


    I wiped the blood off my face with the back of my hand, the movement catching her eye, and she lost it again. I felt guilty. I could see how much my sister and I had hurt her. I would probably be the same if our roles were reversed, and Ace not letting her kill me must have been a kick in the gut.


    "Lucy, enough," Ace snapped at her, his aura rushing out, and she quieted. The growl that left Tyson raised goosebumps on my arms as he stalked toward his brother, his fist connecting with Ace''s face, and I saw Atticuse forward for a second.


    Tyson reached down as Lucy started shifting back. He grabbed her, walking off toward the front of the house, her body drenched in cuts from the window and my blood. Ace watched them leave before pinning me with his re. He stood covering himself with his hands, not that I was looking; I had no interest in him.


    "I swear if you just ruined things with Lucy for some selfish reason, I will make Ryker look like a p***y with what I will do to you," he growled. He made no move toward me. Just red.


    "I need help." Ace scoffed, his canines slipping out and fur growing on his arms.


    "Of course you do," he growled.


    "Not for me, for my mate. And Aliza. All of them are trapped in Jamie''s cells."


    "Aliza? She left Jamie, don''te here and bullshit me," he said, taking a menacing step forward.


    "I''m not, I swear. Please. Aliza, Nathaniel, Taylor, they are down there. Jamie threw me into the cells when I refused to help Josie. I swear, Ace. I would nevere back here otherwise," I told him, begging for him to believe me.


    "If you were in the cells, how did you get out?"


    "The air ducts. Jamie pushes wolfsbane through the venttion shaft, and I climbed through. They couldn''t because-"


    "Because they aren''t hybrids," Ace finished for me, and I nodded.


    "I swear if you are lying to me, I will skin you alive and tie you to an ants'' nest." I swallowed, knowing he meant it, and quickly nodded.


    Tyson and Lucy came out, this time fully dressed, and Lucy hesitated to look at Ace standing a few meters away from me. He opened his arms to her, but she turned her head away from him. She seemed calmer. Whatever Tyson did obviously calmed her enough to be rational.


    "Why are you here? If it is to get your sister back, that isn''t happening. Hopefully, my father strings her up."


    "He caught her?" I couldn''t help but ask. Ace growled, and I held my hands up.


    "No, not like that. Did he catch her or not?"


    "Yes, she is in the cells." I gasped. This was terrible.


    "What?" Ace asked, recognizing my rm, and Lucy''s eyes flicked to him.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "If Josie was caught, that means she let you catch her."


    "No, patrols found her," Tyson said, and I shook my head.


    "What, they found her wandering around? If your brother has her, I am telling you it''s because she wanted to be caught. You need to get hold of your brother and tell him to check wherever he is holding her. NOW!" I told them.
