"Where are you going?" I ask as she walks toward the stairs.

"Coffee,” she says, and I shake my head before grabbing her.

"Nope, you can come shower with me. And then we sleep"

"But I'm not tired,” she says.

"How are you not tired?" I ask. I felt exhausted and dead on my feet.

"Shower then bed. I can't sleep with you not in the bed,” I tell her, steering her toward the bedroom.

We walk into the bathroom and I turn the shower on before hopping in and pulling her in with me. I wash myself before watching her as she washes herself.

"Reika?" I say and she looks over at me.

"Yes?" She asks, looking at me.

"How do you feel about meeting the pack?"

"I don't understand?" She says.

"You know you're my Luna Queen, right?" She nods.

"That means your supposed to help me run the pack. People have been asking to meet you"

"I don't know how to run a pack. I can't even read!" She says her heart rate rising as she panics at my words.

"You don't need to be able to read, just be by my side" I could feel her confusion.

"It's fine, it can wait,” I tell her.

"No, it's fine. I will meet your pack,” she says, even though her heart was racing as she said the words.

"Really?"

"Yes. But do I have to wear shoes?" She asks, making me laugh.

"No, you can wear what you want. As long as you're wearing something,” I tell her. She nods before hopping out and grabbing a towel. I shut the water off before hopping out with her.

She walks into the room, and dries herself. I hand her one of my shirts and she pulls it on before sniffing it. I dry myself and pull on a pair of shorts before climbing in bed. Relief hitting me, finally I can rest.

"Can't I go see Tyson and Ace? I'm not even tired,” she says flopping on the bed beside me. I grab her arm, dragging her over to me before chucking my leg over her so she doesn't escape.

"No. You stay, so I can sleep,” I tell her, inhaling her scent. I could tell she wasn't happy about going back to bed, but eventually she gave up trying to wriggle out from under me.

I fell asleep easily only to be awoken by Zane's voice in my head. I groan, not wanting to get up. When his next words had me jumping out of bed.

"Tyson has cut off three fingers and an ear, and the man ain't speaking!" Zane says.

"He did fucking what?" I ask jumping up. Reika was asleep rolling onto her stomach. So much for not being tired I thought, as I tossed the blanket over her and headed for the door. I race down the stairs heading for the basement.

"What the fuck is going on? You were supposed to wake me!” I tell them ripping the door open.

“We have been trying for hours! None of us could wake you and your bloody door was locked!” Tate says, following me downstairs.
