“Ryker you can’t be fucking serious.”
“Lana you deal with your mates, I will deal with mine,” I tell her.
“No I won’t be a part of this, this is fucking wrong, she is a person, Ryker,” My sister yells.
“Go get me a collar,” I tell Tate, ignoring Lana. Tate walks off.
“What, she is your mate Ryker you cruel bastard,” Lana says walking over to me, she reaches for my mate but I jerk her back. Tate returns with a metal collar and chain. My mate seeing it starts trying to make me let go of her. Holding her still Tate puts the steel collar on her. My mate is thrashing in my arms trying to break free.
“I won't put our children at risk, Lana '' Tate tells her when she tries to stop him. Drake walks down the stairs grabbing Lana pulling her toward the stairs. While Tate helps me drag my mate outside. We tie the chain to a tree and the moment I let her go she shifts, her clothes shredding as she tugs on the collar trying to remove it, her paws biting into the thick chain but it doesn't come off.
“Enough, sit still,” I command her and she whimpers, dropping to the ground next to the tree. She rested her head on her paws looking away from me. I could hear Lana screaming threats at Drake and hear him struggling to restrain my sister who was losing it at the treatment of my mate.
“I need to go help Drake calm her before she beats him senseless,” Tate says before walking inside. I sit next to the tree on the ground beside her. Her white fur looks almost silver under the moon's light. After a few minutes, silence falls over the house and I can no longer hear Lana screaming in outrage. Drake walks out with a couple of blankets and a pillow.
“I take it, you’re staying out here with her?” He says and I nod, taking the blankets from him. I toss the pillow on the ground and drape a blanket over her but she tosses it off grabbing it with her mouth. I sigh, pulling my own over me before leaning against the tree. I stroke her fur. She jumps when my hand touches her but relaxes after a few minutes and doesn't pull away.
Chapter 8
ThenextmorningIwoke to her trying to get out of her restraints. She had shifted back during the night and was pulling on the padlock securing the collared chain around her throat. Her hair knots around her fingers and the chain as she fumbles with it.
I touch her bare back and she jumps growling as she spins around in a crouched position. I put my hands up meaning no harm and she sniffs the air before she starts ripping on the chain trying to break it.
"Stop, you are going to hurt yourself. I will undo it,” I tell her, reaching my hand out toward her when she suddenly bites down on my hand. I growl at her, ripping my hand away.
"Don't touch me" she snaps her eyes blazing.
"Fine then, Goodluck getting it off,” I tell her before getting up and walking inside. Lana and Tate were already making coffee. Lana was wearing a pink dressing gown as she yawned, grabbing the sugar from the pantry.
"Where is 46?" She asks, shaking her head at the name.
"Acting like a bitch so she can be chained like one,” I tell her and she nods sleepily before spinning around and glaring at me.
"You left her on the chain?" She says, and I shrug. She storms off toward the front door.
"Seriously Ryker she isn't a dog"
"Well she shouldn't act like one, and I won't treat her like one" I spit back at her just as she throws the door open. She walks outside. "46?" I hear her ask. I hear Lana frantically run inside stopping at the doorway to the kitchen.
"She is gone" I jump to my feet.
"She can't be,” I tell her storming past her and outside. I look to the tree and I see the chain on the ground snapped in the middle but no mate.
I look to the tree line and see her running. Brax forced the shift before darting after her. My paws dug into the earth as we chased her, but she was quick and lithe as she moved through the trees effortlessly as we tried to keep up, losing her a few times and having to listen for the clang of the chain on the ground that was dragging behind her.
Catching back up to her she jumps over a fallen tree, the chain snagging on a branch ripping her backward. She growls when she notices my wolf jump over the log, she bares her teeth and I shift back. Tate was catching up and I hadn’t even noticed him come after her with me. Her eyes dart to him and I grip the chain that was snagged before jerking her towards me. She falls face first at my feet and I grab the scruff of her neck jerking her head back.
“Now where do you think you are going little wolf?” I ask her and she growls, snapping her teeth at my arm trying to get me to release her. I pull on her neck harder and she whimpers.
“Shift back now,” I tell her and she growls louder, her eyes flickering and Brax whimpers scared for her when she refuses. “I don’t think her wolf will let her,” Brax’s voice in my head.
“Then we will make her,” I tell him and he wanders off not wanting to see, his tune changing overnight and I knew he wanted her but he also understood if she didn’t submit we couldn’t keep her.
“I said fucking shift,” I tell her using my Alpha aura. She growls refusing even though I could tell she was pained, her wolf's resolve was stronger than hers and I would have to find a way to stop her from shifting if I do decide to let her live.
She whimpered and I could feel her fur standing on end, her body tense as she fought against my command. Having enough of her disobedience I toss her. Tate gasps horrified as she smashes against the tree.
“Ryker!,” Tate exclaims as I stalked toward her.
