Page 54 of Alpha King's Mate

“I can hear your thoughts when I am close to you now that I have marked you,” he says with a smile on his lips. I didn't want him to know my thoughts, I wonder if I can hear him?

“You can once you figure it out,” Goddess would he stop answering my thoughts? I felt a little uneasy. I feel for 46 again, calling to her but she still doesn't answer.

“I will explain, just come with me. I have someone I want you to meet,” he says, reaching forward and grabbing my hand. I jerk my hand back wondering why he was being nice. Wondering what sick game he was playing.

“Reika, go with him,” Tyson says, nudging me and I look at him.

“He just wants you to meet my Aunty,” he says. I looked at Ryker who still had his hand out, he didn’t seem angry.

“I’m not angry,” He answers. I didn’t like him in my head, it felt strange. I grab his hand, sparks rushing up my arms, his hand warm as he rubbed circles in the back of my hand pulling me toward him and off the bed. Tyson wriggles over taking my spot on the bed and I pull my hand from Ryker’s, but he pulls me to his side, his hand going to my hip tugging me against him.

“What are you doing?” I ask, moving his hand, tingles, and heat touching my skin and I wasn’t sure I liked the feeling. It made me want to touch him, his scent was overwhelming enough and without my wolf, I didn’t trust my judgment.

“I will explain about your wolf, she is dormant right now. If you come with me I will explain,” he says.

“Dormant?” I ask and he nods before grabbing my hand and pulling me from the room.

“Wait, can they come?” I ask suddenly panicking, what if he takes me to the cells again?

“Please, just calm down. I just want to introduce you to someone, she is like you,” he says.

“Like me?” I ask, suddenly curious.

“Yes, she has mutated genes, so she is similar. You are Kade’s daughter but also mutated making you similar.”

“How does that make us similar?” I ask confused. I was born with a mutation before having my genes mutated again? I think, I can’t remember the experiments, only the darkness. I wish my wolf was here she could explain, she always explains.

“You both have the same eyes, just different colors, she is nice, you will like her,” he says, pulling me out of the room and shutting the door.

He pulled me down the stairs, his hand going back to my hip as he showed me where to go. He stopped in the kitchen and I could see it was dark outside through the double glass doors that led outside. Looking around, I see a woman with blonde hair down to her bum in a braid, her back was to me and she had black pants on and a black jumper.

Sniffing the air, she does smell kind of like me, she turns around with a cup of coffee in her hand. She was very pretty, her skin lightly tanned and she had full lips and a straight nose, but the most dazzling thing about her was her eyes. I gasped she was like me, she had sapphire blue and amber eyes, burning so bright.

I could see the curiosity behind them as she looked at me. She smiles and I find myself enthralled by the sight of her, unable to look away from her. Yet I could feel something off about her, it was hard to pinpoint for a second. Until I saw her eyes flicker growing brighter and I knew her wolf had come forward with her.

“I’m Lily,” she says, holding out her hand.

Chapter 40

“Reika,”Itellherand she reaches forward, grabbing my hand from my side and shaking it. I stare at our hands and she gives them a soft squeeze.

“You’re his aunty?” I ask, a little shocked, she looked younger than him.

“Yep, so you're related to Kade?” She asks, sitting down at the table. Ryker nudges me toward the table and I sit down in the chair next to her.

“I think so?” I ask, looking at Ryker who nods.

“You do have a similar scent, not the same but slightly similar to my mate,” she says. I stared at her confused.

“My husband is Kade's son, but he isn't like you. My husband is a werewolf, not a hybrid. So I am guessing you are a product of either him directly after he figured out how to trigger the hybrid gene, or you're a mutation like me,” I didn’t understand what she meant.

“You might have to explain in simpler terms Lil,” Ryker says, patting her shoulder.

“Okay, so basically my husband is your brother or half brother. He was born a full werewolf, Kade didn’t figure out how to awaken the hybrid gene till after he produced my husband. You are a hybrid, so I am assuming you were born or made after he figured out the gene, how old is she?” Lily asks, looking at Ryker.

“Not 100% sure but we think around 22 to 25,” he says, and I nod.

“So you didn’t know Kade then?” She asks.
