“Kade is my father, the boys that were born came out hybrid like him, the girls had to awake.”
“So you know who Kade is, know what he did to my family.”
“Of course I do, like I said before Reika knows what I allow her to know and no more than that, she saw what I allowed her to see, heard what I allowed her to hear, remembers what I allowed her to remember, and nothing more than that,” She snaps at me. I growl at her, not liking the malice behind her words, what exactly was she hiding from Reika and the rest of us? I go to grab her arm and pull her up when she slaps my hand away.
“You don’t scare me mate, you can’t do anything that hasn’t been done before, not to me anyway. I have lost everything already, there is nothing left to take,” She snarls and I see her sanity flickering behind her eyes. Her wolf was unhinged, completely insane from her torment, how had I not realized it before? How hadn’t Reika realized she was batshit crazy?
“So the girls had to be awoken?” I ask her.
“Yes 46 times they tried to kill me before succeeding and awakening the vampire gene, 46 times I was brought to the brink of death before I died to become what I am. I had all the werewolf traits of my father except the bloodlust, the humans said we had to break to be awoken, and break me they did. Stupid wolf side kept healing me quicker and quicker each time before the 46th attempt they managed to stop my heart.”
“What’s that got to do with me.”
“You died Ryker, Reika stopped your heart and awoke the vampire gene which brought you back. You men, so stupid and slow, so thick in the head and can’t see past your own nose,” she says shaking her head before she chuckles like I should have known this information already.
“Bring Reika back now,” I tell her.
“No, she marked you, I won’t have her weak from the bond, I won’t let you stop me from getting back what’s mine,” she says.
“It wasn’t a choice 46, bring her back or I will make you.”
“Well let’s see what you are made of then mate,” she says, rising to her feet and I could see the challenge behind her eyes. I blink, stunned she wanted to fight me. I laugh because she can’t be serious.
“46, sit down now. I don’t want to hurt you,” I tell her, she was truly insane, her wolf was completely nuts, here she was wanting to take her own mate on.
“And you can stop with the 46, unlike Reika I actually did have a name one that torments both of us, but I haven’t forgotten who I am,” she says.
“You want out of this room you better start telling me what the fuck is going on,” She laughs before holding out her hand to me. My brows furrowed in confusion as I placed my hand in hers. Sparks rushed up my arm at her touch when she jerked me forward, her voice so low goosebumps rose on my skin as her breath moved across my neck as she jerked me down to her level.
“My name is Amanda,” she says her voice cold and void of emotion.
“M y name is
Amanda,” she says her voice cold and void of emotion.
I jerk my hand back pushing her away, she laughs sadistically, her eyes brightening while I stood there confused.
“You said you don’t have a name”
“I have a name, everyone has a name. Though Reika prefers her new name, she hated when they called her 46, hated that I had been named by the Moon goddess while she was just a number, another reminder of what they put us through”
“You’re unhinged, you need help,” I tell her, stepping back. I didn’t like the way she looked at me, the glint in her eyes.
“Like you can talk, you sadistic fuck. You’re just like them, just like him. You think you were cursed with a second chance, fuck we were cursed too. I had hope for you though, hope that maybe she could find happiness with you, that once we got her back we would be able to find peace in this miserable world”
“What are you talking about?” I ask stepping closer to the door, the movement doesn’t go unnoticed by her calculating eyes.
“Go on, run, run like the last one, although I think I will enjoy killing you after what you did to us, I thought he was a piece of work walking away on his mate leaving us with them, leaving us to endure all that, at least he never touched us,” she says, stepping forward her claws slipping past her fingers.
“You’re just like him, weak, pathetic, scared” she snarls, baring her teeth as her lip curled above her teeth.
“46, Amanda whatever your name is, you need to calm down. I don’t want to hurt you, we can figure whatever this is out” She laughs the sound hollow and manic.
“You’re just like him, he begged for his life too before I took it,” she says, her face morphing and she resembled a demon.
“Who?” I ask, trying to understand what is wrong with her.
“Our first mate, what you thought you were the only cursed with a second chance. Poor Ryker comes from a good family, has those who love him, so he killed his mate destroying everything. Must suck growing up normal, must suck having someone to love you” she taunts, my anger rising at her words. How dare she think she knows anything about my life. I growl at her stepping toward her.
“Ooh scary, there is the big bad wolf,” she says not even slightly intimidated by me even though I could break her like a twig, she was insane, completely fucking bonkers. “I won’t let you destroy her. Not again. You don’t live through what we did and come out unscathed, no you come out some twisted version of yourself, some fucked up mutation of the hell you lived. Reika was weak, she couldn’t handle it so I took over. I took it because I love her, and you make sacrifices for those you love, you don’t condemn them to more pain. I won’t let you destroy her again,” she says a feral growl escaping her, she suddenly shifts so quickly I couldn’t react. Her canines tore through my shoulder knocking me backward when she lunged at me.
A mangled pained whimper left my lips as she savagely shook her head, tearing my flesh apart. I twist trying to get up and she sinks her teeth into the back of my arm. Pain radiated out of every wound she inflicted as I tried to heal enough to shift. Brax waiting for an opportunity to take her down.
Dropping forward, I roll on my back and she is thrown off, rolling on her side before getting to her feet shaking out her fur. She lunges but I bring my foot up, kicking her in the chest and she flies backward. I partially shift grabbing the scruff of her neck when she shifts back before punching me in the stomach, my grip on her slipping and I bring my knee up as she drops her weight. The force of my knee snaps her head backward and I grab her.
Wrapping my arms around her in a bear hug, I feel her trying to shift as I squeeze the air from her lungs making her wheeze as she tries to get a breath.
She threw her head back but I was waiting for it, grabbing her head at the last second before ripping it to the side exposing her neck.
My canines slipped past my lips as I let Brax take control and we sank our teeth into her neck. She thrashes trying to break out of my arms as I sink them deeper marking her. Her thrashing slows as she grows weaker in my arms, unconsciousness taking over as she slips into darkness going limp in my arms. I run my tongue over her neck, sealing it. Scooping her up I cradle her against me when I hear knocking on the door, the bangs so hard I thought they would knock the door down.
I was about to open it, when suddenly Tyson and Ace barreled straight through, smashing it off the hinges, both of them landing on the ground on top of the door.
“You will never believe what happened at school,” Ace says completely oblivious to Reika unconscious in my arms as he dusts himself off crawling to his hands and knees.
“I swear bro, we fucking died aye. Minding my own business and suddenly this strange feeling came over me, next I know we woke up along with the rest of the class. Thought I was a goner,” he says before Tyson nudges him as he stares up at me.
“Naw she fucking marked you didn’t she? Here I was thinking I could come back from the dead, and have some mad superpowers but it was just a teether to you two,” Ace groans and I chuckle at his lame reasoning for his near-death experience.
“Damn! Hey what’s up with her, you fuck her into unconsciousness,” Ace says and I kick him.
“No fuckwit, now get up and fix my door,” I tell them walking out.
“Where are you going,” Tyson says standing up.
“The cells”
Tyson growls at me stepping forward.
