“Why Avalon City?” He asks curiously, so he had heard of it then.

“Apparently it is nice there” Ryker scoffs, shaking his head.

“It is nice but it’s not safe for you to be wandering around in that city” He says

“How so?”

“Humans here have only just learnt of our kind, Avalon City is different the entire city is filled with nightwalkers and everything else. Humans there were raised amongst them, the city has wards bordering off each section, any human leaves they forget about the place, the place is literally crawling with supernatural’s” He says.

“Oh I didn’t know that” I said thoughtful.

“You really want to go?” He asks and I nod but now the thought also scared me a little.

“Fine you can go, but mum is right, I need to get out of here for a bit, I am coming with you”

“No, no we were having a girls weekend” I lie but he sees straight through it when my heartrate increases, he raises and eyebrow staring me down.

“Now I am intrigued because I know you’re lying to me, either I am coming and we go from a girls weekend to a sibling one or I will chuck you both in the cells for the weekend, which is it?”

“You can’t do that, you said so yourself I am not a pack member with Tate’s mark”

“I can and I will, you think dad will stop me?” He asks chuckling at the thought. Even I knew Dad was no match for Ryker, even mum struggles to subdue him in pack training, especially now that he is next inline for her title, the first born of each generation stronger than the last generation, creating a balance and to make sure the packs stay at full strength.

“Times ticking Lana, which is it cells or are we leaving?”

“Fine” I tell him now wondering how I am going to sneak away to find the witch.

“Good we will leave at lunch and I am driving” He says.

“Wait how do you know of Avalon City?” I ask curious that he knows so much.

“I went to see a witch there find answers about my mate” He says.

“And?”

“And it’s none of your business” He retorts.

I go to turn around and walk out when I remember the argument he had with mum,

“Another thing, when you and mum were arguing, who were you talking about?” Ryker growls low in the back of his throat, his glare sending a chill up my spine, goosebumps rising on my skin at the sound.

“Drake if you must know” My heart pumps wildly in my chest at the thought of Ryker doing something to him.

“I left him alive and licking his wounds Lana, I didn’t kill your mate, though I should have after what he did”

“Rejecting me?” I ask.

“That amongst other things”

“What other things?” I ask wanting to know what he was hiding.

“Mum said Drake needs to tell you,”

“Yeah, well that won’t be happening because he rejected me” I tell him.

“What he did is understandable, Lily doesn’t blame him”

“Okay now you have to tell me” I tell him sitting in the chair across from him, he eyes me before folding his arms across his chest.
