Page 86 of Fight between Alphas

“You okay?” I ask. He says nothing just stares out the window before driving off again. As we near the city border, I see my brothers car on the side of the road.

“Is that your brother?” He asks looking out the window. I roll my window down peering out just in time to witness Ryker jump out of the car and see Arial dart into the paddock they were parked next to.

“Get your ass back here you brat, I am going to fucking kill you,”

“Everything good?” I ask with a chuckle.

“She put a photo on my Facebook and changed my fucking password” He calls back.

“At least now you don’t look so fugly, think of all the dudes you will pull now” I hear her scream from somewhere in the darkness.

“Arial! Fix it you bitch” He bellows stalking off into the paddock to hunt her down.

“Should we make sure he doesn’t kill her, like I am all for her getting her ass beat but not keen on your mother killing me for allowing it?” Drake asks.

“No, she can handle him” I tell him, Ryker may be bigger and scarier, but she was faster and could easily outrun him all the way home to hide behind mum. Though Avery’s words earlier worried me, was he really that much stronger now to take her on and kill her? I had so many thoughts running through my head. The main one being why he killed his mate, also the thought of a raging Ryker being Alpha of Alpha’s scared me a little.

“What’s wrong?” Drake asks as we hit the highway.

“Nothing, just thinking” I tell him.

Chapter49

Tate’s POV

I knew something was going on by the way the phone cut out, I didn’t catch the last part Ryker said, the reception wherever they were wasn’t particularly good, but when Drake sent a text and told me he was on his way to Avalon City. My heart sank, he hasn’t returned none of my calls, has ignored me and had his warriors turn me away when I have been on his land. Now he was going to destroy the bond too.

Eleven years I waited for him to come around, eleven years of heartache watching as he went about his life while mine was on hold waiting for him. Then when I think things are finally looking up, when Lana finally comes into our life she made me wait two years only to leave me in the end. Was I really destined to have two mates that hate me, am I that unlovable that they both shunned me?

So once again I wait in this house rotting away waiting once again, praying that Ryker could make her see sense. I know he is getting aggravated with my constant calling, but she won’t answer the damn phone. Like how hard is it, to pick up the damn phone. I know she is hurting but so am I. Eleven years of pain spent waiting only to be tossed away again.

I sit in front of the TV. Once again trying to get through to Drake, hoping Avery won’t sever his bond. I get the voicemail, his voice sending shock waves through me like it does every time. Sighing I pace wanting nothing more than to drown my sorrows, yet Lana would be pissed if she comes back. I don’t know how long I paced for when I finally flopped down in my bed. The bed feeling empty and cold like the feeling settling inside me.

Alarm hitting me when I feel his pain through the bond making me sit up. Asher growling in my head angrily. “Find Mate” He growls angrily pushing beneath my skin. The pain radiating yet he didn’t seem angry like you would expect when someone was beating you senseless, no he felt off, something was off but I could feel burning hatred seething within Lana, when I feel it. Feel a teether and I realise he marked her. My heart skipping a beat before I feel Drakes pain again. Was she beating him? It made me wonder because she was ravenous, I could feel her anger and her bloodlust hitting me like a tonne of bricks, so red hot before I feel the last piece, the elastic band that holds us together suddenly being forced in place. Asher yapping in my head wagging his tail with excitement and adrenaline forcing me to my feet.

“Wait, why was Lana at Avalon City?” I wonder, when Asher suddenly stops also wondering the same thing when I put the pieces together everything making sense. She must have went to stop Drake, but then why did he mark her? I feel Asher shove forward urging me to go to them. I try reign him in when I walk down the hall only for him to shove forward violently, enraged about something knocking me down the stairs as he forces the shift. Shit! I shouldn’t have let my guard down when I feel him shove me out. “Asher give me control” I yell at him, but he blocks me out shoving me further back into the pits of our mind.

Lana POV

We had been driving for an hour in complete silence, I felt on edge and also angry though I felt it wasn’t my anger but Tate’s.

“How much longer?” I ask him sick of being in the car.

“40 minutes, we aren’t far now from Tate’s Pack”

“So you are dropping me to Tate?” I ask.

“Yes, Lana why do you think I came, I won’t let you leave him” He says making my head snap to his in shock.

“So that’s why you did it, you don’t want me? You did it for Tate?” I ask. I see his hands clench the steering wheel, his jaw clenching.

“Can we not argue, my car is destroyed enough” He says his eyes flickering.

“Pull over” I tell him, and his eyes snap to mine but I am shocked to see Titus in control and him speak to me instead of Drake.

“Sit there and be quiet” He snaps.

“Excuse me?” I snap back.
