"What? All of them? That will take a week” Arial whines and I shake my head not even bothering to tell her she didn’t have to. Following Ryker into his office, I put my hands on my hips wondering what phony task he was going to make me do.
Instead, he sits at his desk and motions for me to shut the door. I shut it before sitting on the sofa.
“So, what crap do you want me to do that is unnecessary?”
“Nothing,” he tosses me a paper bag, opening it I find donuts and steal one out.
“She is going to kill you?” I tell him. He shrugs, a smirk on his face.
“Would be the most work she has ever done” He states before laughing. I sat in the office playing candy crush for a few hours when suddenly Arial walks in and spots me relaxed on the sofa.
“What the fuck Ryker,” Arial screeches.
“And you knew? I knew something was up when the dates were all wrong” She accuses and I laugh.
“I have donuts” I tell her, holding up the bag. She really was too easy to satiate.
“Seriously don’t understand how you're not the size of a house” My brother teases as she shovels one in her mouth, she flips him the bird before flopping down next to me and putting her feet on my lap.
“I have papercuts, that’s the last time I ever help you” She glares at him, but he pays her no attention, used to her rants.
“They have an electronic filing system, they got me with the same thing this morning” I tell her and her eyes blaze.
“You mean I just wasted my bloody time?”
“Yep” I tell her.
“Think of it as work experience, dad made me file for three weeks when I started before the secretary let it slip that they were fake files and that everything was done electronically” Ryker says.
My mouth falls open, three weeks of filing fake files. My father has a strange sense of humour.
“Where is dad?” I ask just as I hear the elevator Bing.
"That would be him” Ryker states before the door opens and in steps my father and my supposed mates.
“No, why are they here?” I groan. The very two people I was trying to avoid. My father folds his arms over his chest before glaring at Arial.
“Do you have something you need to own up to young lady?” He asks her, giving her a sharp look. She feigns innocence. Batting her eyelashes but my father knows her too well. I wonder what she did.
“So, you know nothing about the Alpha’s tyres being slashed on both their cars?” He questions and my mouth falls open, shocked. Arial closes my mouth before nudging me with her elbow.
“Nope, no idea what you're talking about” My father glares at her before I feel her stomp on my foot wanting back up.
“It was probably an act of god,” I tell him. Not knowing what else to say, my brain was not able to conjure up any excuses with my two mates staring, making my brain muddled from their godlike looks and intoxicating smell.
“Since when did you become Christian?” My father asks, turning to me.
“Hmm I was just assuming it must be him, Arial would never do something so crazy” Ryker snorted, choking on his laugh.
“Well did this so-called god happen to steal your sister's pink pocket knife?” He asks in a mocking tone knowing I was lying for her. My eyes snap to her. She got me to lie for her and she left evidence.
“I couldn’t get it out, it got stuck and don’t look at me like that” She blurts giving herself away not that she hadn’t already. I shake my head and my father glares at her, and she shrinks under his gaze.
“Well, you just earned yourself a week of being grounded” My father announces.
“It’s not my fault, they were going to follow me to school to find Lana” She screams at him, jumping to her feet. My father growls at her outburst and I see my fathers wolf Ryder come forward, my father's eyes bleeding black at her tone. My sister sits back down crossing her arms over her chest. It was one thing testing my father, another challenging his wolf, though mum was scarier and dad would never hurt us, but that didn’t make him any less frightening.
“You can go Lana; your sister will be cleaning this entire office with a toothbrush” Dad says glaring down at her.
