Chapter 19
For the rest of the day I didn’t see Ryker. After eating breakfast with me, he disappeared and Eve told me that he probably went to the pack house. I was so used to his presence around the house that it felt very weird and quiet to not have him around.
I spent my day with Eve and she educated me on life in the pack. She wasn’t born in the pack. In fact, she was a rogue up until she was five when she accidentally stumbled into the pack and the former Luna took pity on her and made her an
omega.
Her story brought a lot of questions about what happened to Ryker’s parents. In Tyson’s pack, I heard a lot of stories and rumors about what people think happened but I’m starting to realize that not every rumor should be taken seriously.
Some people said that Ryker killed his parents so he could become Alpha. Some people said that they died in a horrible accident that made Ryker cruel and heartless. Another group of people said his family ran away because they couldn’t bear to watch him act as cruel as he did to his pack members. Judging by how I’ve seen the pack members, none of those stories sound true.
I wanted to ask Eve but I realized that some stories are meant to be heard from the source and I filed my curiosity away for another day.
I helped her out with dinner even though she refused at first. It was fun to have something to do around the house rather than just sitting on my butt all day. And as weird as it sounds, I actually enjoyed cooking. Even when I was at Tyson’s pack, I loved doing it. I just hated the circumstances under which I was forced to do it.
We made shepherd’s pie and I paired it a meringue topped with strawberries. I was setting the table when the main door opened and I saw Ryker walk in. The corner of my lips tugged up but my smile fell when I saw who was following close behind.
The plate in my hand slipped and fell to the floor with a loud crash prompting Eve to rush out of the kitchen. She took in the scene in front of her and her eyes flickered to mine in barely concealed panic.
“Alpha,” she bowed to Ryker then turned to the person next to him, “Lauren; it is a pleasure to see you again.”
She was impeccably dressed in skin tight pants and a sleeveless corset like top with a jacket thrown over it. Her hair was in a slick ponytail and her lips were painted the color of a freshly plucked strawberry.
She had on leather boots to complete the edgy look and her arms were crossed over her chest. She caught my eye and the corner of her lips tilted up slightly.
“I’m
sorry about your leg, fake sincerity bled through her words. I’ve been around enough people to know when someone isn’t being genuine and judging by the twinkling in her eyes, she isn’t.
“It’s fine.” I was grateful that my voice came out strong and not as shaky as I felt on the inside.
“Did you cook?” she asked as she made her way over to the dining table, “I haven’t eaten all day. Is it okay if I sit?”
I knew it would be rude if I said no especially since she hasn’t eaten so I just nodded. She thanked me and took a seat on the immediate right of Ryker which would be in the middle of both of us. Eve shot me a sympathetic look as she set the dish on the table.
I didn’t want to sit next to her so I took my plate to Ryker’s other side. This would be the first time we are sitting next to each other and I saw the shock that crossed his features as I sat next to him but it was quickly replaced by pride and something
else.
Ryker seemed oblivious to the brewing tension between Lauren and I. She would occasionally look up and smirk at me almost as if she was trying to tell me that I failed to get rid of her. The tension between us could be cut with a knife and it was very uncomfortable. I wanted nothing more than to get up and hide in my room and I would have done so if it wouldn’t raise questions with Ryker.
“I’m sorry for ambushing you like this,” he began and I saw Lauren’s eyes widen at his apology.
“There’s no need to apologize,” she began but he cut her off.
“I was talking to my mate.”
I saw the hurt fill her features before she quickly clamped down on it. She turned to me with barely hidden disdain and 1 almost laughed. I wondered how long she would be able to hold up her bravado of glee I actually thought she would fast through the night.
Ryker turned to me. The rogue problem is worse than we thought. We found a lair not too far from the pack border and until the issue is dealt with you need to be protected at all time.”
“I’m safe right here, aren’t I?” I asked in a desperate attempt to get him to rethink the decision I know he is about to take.
