“I am only tipsy, not drunk so be a good little sister and go down and fetch more from the bar downstairs” Ryker tells her.

“You don’t think you drank enough?” She asks.

“Just stop whining and go” He tells her before reaching in his pocket and giving her his credit card. She growls before taking it from him and walking out the door.

“I know what we can do tomorrow, I will take you to meet someone she is pretty nice but also a little scary, you can ask her about your mates” Ryker says making me sit up or at least try to.

“Who and where” I ask.

“Avery, she is the city’s regent, she is usually at her apothecary shop on the east side”

“What do you mean she is scary” I ask.

“because she is not just a witch, you will see tomorrow. We can go after lunch” He says and I yawn before nodding. We sit in silence for a bit waiting for Arial to come back.

“Ryker?”

“yeah”

“What did she say about your mate?” He says nothing but rolls over facing me on his bed and I notice how sad he looks.

“Is that why you have been so cranky, you scare mum you know?” I tell him. He rolls on his back looking at the ceiling.

“You can tell me, I won’t tell anyone”

“I tell you, you will hate me, Lana. You’re best off not knowing” He says.

“Did you find her?” I ask playing with my bracelet my mother gave me. Ryker growls and I take that as a yes.

“She rejected you, didn’t she?” I ask, hoping for some answers, anything to explain where my loving big brother went.

“You will get a second chance mate Ryker, the moon goddess will give you a second chance” I tell him knowing she did reject him.

“Moon goddess won’t give me a second chance mate after what I did, Lana. It’s fine I have the pack to worry about anyway” He says the only indication I was onto something.

“The moon goddess will, everyone deserves and second chance,”

“Even your mates?” He retorts and I sigh looking up at the roof.

“That’s different” I tell him.

“No, its not. I can’t get a second chance Lana. But you can and don’t throw it away, don’t throw your mate bond away, you have no idea how much I want what you have and you’re willing to throw it away over one thing. If Lily and Damien can forgive Drake for what he did, you can forgive him” He says, and I was surprised at how angry he suddenly got.

“don’t preach to me brother, maybe go sort out your mate then I will deal with mine” I tell him suddenly annoyed that he would tell me to take them back.

“I wish I could, but nothing will fix what happened between myself and my mate Lana”

“Everyone deserves a second chance Ryker”

“I don’t” He says sitting up, I try to sit up as well but give up, my body feeling way to heavy to function besides talk and breathe.

“Why didn’t you tell us you found her?” I ask.

“Just leave it Lana forget I even told you”

“Maybe we can fix it, I could talk to her”

“What you have become a clairvoyant suddenly, you gonna ask if she can forgive me?” He asks before scoffing making me furrow my eyebrows.
