“Though that colour lipstick doesn’t really suit you, should have went with red” Aamon says with a chuckle.

“You knew and let me walk all the way here looking like an idiot” Ryker growls at him.

“I think it suits you, you go girlfriend” Aamon says giving him a thumbs up. “I’d do you” He says sending him a wink.

Ryker growls lowly. “You’re so dead, I am going to kill you Arial” He bellows. Arial points to me and I roll my eyes. Ryker steps forward. Ava walks over placing her hand on his arm and he relaxes.

“this isn’t over” He says glaring at us, but I couldn’t help but snicker. He grabs some tissues wiping it off smudging it everywhere though the lipstick doesn’t budge.

“You’re right it is far from over, in fact Lana I would rather you go outside. My store doesn’t need to be destroyed” Avery says making everyone look at her as she ushers me toward the door.

“What is going on?” I ask.

“Arial want to chime in here” Avery asks. I look over my shoulder and she turns away guiltily.

“I’m sorry Lana, I couldn’t let you go through with it”

“Excuse me?”

“Aamon it might be best if you keep Ryker inside, he won’t like what happens next but it’s for the greater good I assure you” Avery tells him before looking at Ryker. Her words scared me what did she mean. Aamon places his hands on Ryker’s shoulders. Ryker looking as confused as I felt.

“Arial what did you do?” I demand.

“I’m sorry, I called Drake”

“You what?” I scream outraged my own sister would betray me like this, she knew why I needed to sever the bond.

“No time, outside I only just replaced these windows too, oh well” Avery says gently pushing me toward the door. I step outside and I realise it was getting dark, “How?” I ask looking around before looking at the sky.

“Oh, you have been here all day, I took the pleasure of distracting you”

“Wait what, how?”

“When you first got here, didn’t you notice how cold your tea was?” Now that she said it, I notice how sore my back is. Wait did we just sit and stare for hours?

No sooner had I walked outside. I heard a car making me spin on my heel to look down the street. I watch Drakes truck pull up, my blood running cold as he steps out. My mind going back to the night he rejected me and the pain I felt.

“Get in the car Lana” He says stepping onto the footpath.

“No, leave Drake” I tell him, and he shakes his head.

“No, I won’t let you do this to Tate”

“I am doing this to help Tate, not that you need to worry she said no anyway, so now I need to find another witch” I tell him. Tears springing in my eyes now seeing how terrible he looked, his hair all messy and he was in desperate need of a shave.

“No, now get in the car Lana, don’t make me come get you” He says taking a step forward in warning. I laugh is he serious?

“You have no pull over me anymore, I don’t need to listen to you and I sure as hell won’t let you tell me what I need to do” I snap at him my eyes blazing as I feel my bloodlust take over with my anger.

He goes to grab me and I shove him with more force then I meant to, he smashes against the stores windows and they shatter on impact raining glass down over him. He growls before lunging at me but I step out of the way.

“You didn’t want me Drake so fucking leave before I hurt you” I warn him.

“I was angry, and you accepted, you could have rejected the rejection” He screams back, his eyes turning black as Titus makes himself present.

“You don’t get a say in this, we are not mates, not anymore”

“I think he has a say in it, since your carrying his children” Avery says from where she stands looking at the broken window. My eyes snap to Drake in panic, why would she tell him that? Drake’s eyes go to my belly before he turns his head listening and I find myself doing the same thing, picking up my own heart rate first before hearing two more thumping at different speeds making me gasp, she was right I am pregnant and with twins.
