"You will never find them, but rest assured they aren't weak like our Lucy, no they are stronger. Stronger because I figured out the missing link in their DNA….. Pain, the more pain we inflict the more it awakens the Lycan genes, morphing it and twisting it before we force the shift, I stuffed up with Lucy. I was too kind to her, I struggled with the idea of killing her. Exactly how does one kill their own child? But I knew it was for the greater good, if she survived the shift".

My father rams the door with his shoulder, but I couldn't move my eyes from her, I was frozen in fear for her.

"Your DNA holds the key to curing so many of the world's diseases" he laughs, picking up his hand off the steel table and tossing it over his shoulder.

"I had hope for Lucy, that she would live and be as marvelous as you. Don't you think she has my eyes, the resemblance is uncanny, I must say,” he says with a grin lighting up his face at Reika horrified one.

"What,” Reika gasps.

"You didn't really think that idiot was her father. No, we just had to convince you. Give you a reason to do what we wanted. Estella said it would work, I didn't believe you would be so gullible to believe he was your mate, but you proved me wrong. He sucked you in good. When he wasn't convincing you he was your mate, he was helping us plot our next experiment. Then I came up with the idea of impregnating you. To see if we could create a biological version of yourself. So who better to father the child than the man who had the idea,” he says, his voice mocking as she tried to piece together everything he was saying to her.

She was so absorbed in trying to take in what he told her that she didn't see him lunge at her till the last second, he dived across the table. Knocking her to the ground. They struggled and I felt Brax shove forward forcing the shift before backing up. He charges at the bullet proof glass, hitting it full force only to bounce off it.

I feel his shoulder crack before he shakes it off before hitting it again when we hear a crack. The glass had the tiniest hairline crack when he backed up again looking at it.

My father tried to kick the door in as Reika tried to fight him off. She manages to get her feet under him, shoving him off, though her face was carved up by his claws and part of her arm torn into from his teeth.

She gets to her feet, her entire body trembling as she partly shifts. The man got to his just on the other side of the glass. He picks up the Axe that had fallen on the ground, swinging it at her as she advances. We hit the window just as she jumps back a ferocious roar leaving her as she charges at him. They both plunge through the glass crashing into me and making us skid across the floor. The glass bursts, sending shards everywhere as she starts ripping him to pieces with her claws.

He punches her, knocking her off and my father and I both jump forward as he goes to get up when Reika screams.

"Don't fucking touch him!" she yells getting to her feet, her eyes blazing in pure rage. We freeze and she runs at him before suddenly shifting so quickly I blinked and I missed it. Her wolf came forward as she bit into his neck before shaking her head viciously.

He screams, his claws cutting her to pieces but she didn't appear to feel it as she continued to shake her head. Her white fur turned red from the blood splatter. He stops moving from the blood loss. His eyes dazedly looking around before she shifts crouched next to him. Reika looks down at his torn-apart body, her own body scratched and torn to pieces.

"You'll never find them" he chokes out before he smiles at her. She punches him in the chest, her hand going through his chest cavity and he coughs, choking on his own blood as it spews from his lips. She moves her hand around in his chest and he makes a gurgling noise. His eyes bulging from his head when she rips her hand out, pulling his spine out with it, the sound disturbing as it pulls through his body snapping the nerves and tendons pulling away from muscle and fat.

"That's for our daughter" she tells him before standing up and looking down at him. Reika then stomps on his head with her bare foot. His head cracking open like a dropped egg as her foot comes down on his face, brain matter leaking out his ears and out the cracks in his face as it caved inwards.

I swallow the bile down that rose in my throat at the sight before me. My father and I both froze as we stared wide-eyed at her. She wipes her hands on her bloodstained pants. Her hands were shaking and I could hear her heart throbbing hard in her chest. She takes a deep hiccupped breath. Her eyes brimming with tears making them glisten as she looks at me. I step toward her, shocked but also slightly scared of her at this moment, she truly looked out of control, almost rabid.

"Can we go home now?" she asks me, her voice trembling slightly.

Chapter 57

Ryker

She was sad the entire way home, it made me on edge because the emotions coming through the bond were so back and forth, she was angry but also incredibly sad. Reika just stared vacantly out the window. It was like she was on autopilot, completely shut down and she wouldn't stop shivering, even her teeth were chattering loudly like she was cold.

Tyson and Ace decided to stay the night with my parents, though I was a little nervous about being in the house with her alone. We had never been truly alone together other than in the car and for most part she was always in Tyson and Ace’s room, or in my walk-in.

Pulling up at the pack house, I touched her shoulder and she nearly jumped out of her skin, confirming my thoughts that she wasn't even paying attention to our whereabouts.

"We are home,” I tell her.

"Home?" she murmurs looking past me and at the pack house.

"It's your home too,” I tell her and she seems confused. She just slaughtered a man brutally yet the prospect of home scares her, didn't she want to be with me or was it just the word that confused her.

"What's your wolf saying?" I ask her, curious, I know she was present, yet Reika hasn't said a word about anything. Was she mad that I didn't give her enough to make her wolf remain dormant?

"She doesn't say anything,” she says, making me confused.

"Come on then, I don't think you will be very comfortable sleeping in the car,” I tell her, opening my door and hopping out.

I hear her door shut behind me as I walk toward the house. I would have to remember to get the seats cleaned. She once again destroyed them, though it couldn't be helped with her drenched in blood.

Opening the door I walk in, placing the keys on the hall stand before waiting for her to come in. She walks in rubbing her arms.
