Ace suddenly moves making us jump including Reika who jumps off the bed shifting back.

I wanted to go to her and beg her to forgive me and also cover her. She was standing naked in front of three men and the thought ticked me off.

My parents were standing over the bed when Ace suddenly sits upright nearly headbutting my father.

"Tyson!" He says, panicked.

"Right here bro,” he says pressing his head against Ace. Ace sighs in relief.

"Reika?"

"Here,” she says, still naked my father looks over at her and so does Tyson. I growl and Tyson rolls his eyes. Walking over to Reika I bend down picking up my shirt. She takes a step back watching me. I hold the shirt up to her and she takes it.

"Please keep clothes on, my brothers don't need your picture for their spank banks,” I tell her. She looks confused but pulls the shirt on.

"Got any chips, I'm starving,” Ace says making my father chuckle and rub his bald head.

"Oh forgot to ask. Why are my sons bald?" My mother asks. I raise an eyebrow at her deciding they can answer that.

Chapter 31

Reika

Ace was awake, I couldn’t believe it worked, and honestly, my wolf was a little stunned too. She was happy she could help him, help Tyson. We both like the pups, they were good but it still didn’t change anything. This wasn’t our home and sooner or later we would have to leave. Go home and face the consequences and pray she is still alive.

“We will wait a day or two then leave,” I tell my wolf and she nods.

“What about the Lycan Queen?” I ask.

“You’re right, I couldn't hurt them like that, she seems nice. We will just have to go back and beg them.” She tells me.

“I don’t want to be in the dark anymore,” I confess. Now having a taste of what it is like outside of that place, I didn’t want to go back though I knew it was inevitable. I loved that I could see everything, speak with people. Being here showed me what I thought was normal wasn’t and it made me crave freedom more than I did before.

“We have to go, what're a few more years, Reika. We will figure out a way to get her back then escape.”

“Will we be able to come back here?” I ask but I already knew the answer, this would be the first place they would look. Tim probably already told them my whereabouts. I am jolted back into my surroundings by sparks rushing across my skin. A feral growl leaves my lips and my eyes fly open to see Ryker’s hand on me. He jerks his hand back and I see everyone in the infirmary looking at me.

I drop my gaze before walking out of the room leaving them to be a family, something I long for but know I will never have but I am glad Tyson and Ace have that. I go back to Tyson and Ace’s room before climbing on Tyson’s bed.

“You think Tyson will mind if we sleep in here?” My wolf asks and I shrug. I could hear someone walking around in the hall before hearing the footsteps at the door. The person stops and I feel my wolf rise pressing under my skin when I get a whiff of his scent from under the door. Fear knotting my stomach terribly and I feel my skin become clammy. The door handle moves when it suddenly stops and I hear the footsteps leave. I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding.

“He’s gone, maybe we can sleep under the bed,” My wolf asks and I look under it.

“Be a bit difficult to get out if we are attacked,'' I tell her looking underneath.

The light eventually turned dark outside, I really needed to pee my bladder screaming for me to go. “Just hold till he goes to sleep,” My wolf tells me not wanting me to leave the room. We remained in the room, not having anywhere else to go. We heard Ryker constantly pacing the halls and stopping outside the door. He never entered and after about the 10th time realizing he wasn't going to come in we laid down on the bed, trying to ignore our full bladder.

Tyson walked in with three bowls in his hand, his brother coming in not long after him. Ace looks at me in Tyson's bed before patting his one and I move, going to sit with him. Tyson hands me a bowl of mush but it smelt good and I was starving having not eaten anything in days other than Ryker and Tyson's blood.

"What is it?" I ask poking it with my finger.

"Macaroni, here use this,” he says handing me a spoon. I take it before trying some. It was delicious, far better than the food back home. I ate my bowl in a few seconds when Ace scoops half of his into my bowl.

"I can make you more since you like it so much,” Tyson says but I shake my head eating what's in my bowl.

Ace turns his TV on before grabbing a remote. "Mario cart?" He asks, seeing as it was the easiest game out of all their games. I shrug and he places the controller in my hands showing me the buttons again. We played a few games before I gave up handing the controller to Ace.

Hearing footsteps outside the door again I glance at it and Tyson growls low.
