“Do you see mum here, she is Alpha of Alpha’s not us and never will be that title goes to Ryker when mum steps down, we are just her daughters we have no rights here Lana, we walk into their territory we are trespassing” Arial rolls her eyes.
“You are being dramatic, now hurry up”
“No, I am not getting involved I am heading back”
“So, you will let me go alone” She asks folding her arms across her chest.
“We can ring mum, ask her to help or get Tate and Drake”
“I am not asking Tate for help” She snaps.
“Fine I will ask him, or we can ring Ryker he is next in line, they won’t deny him if you don’t want to ask mum” I tell her, turning and walking back the way we came. When I don’t hear her following, I stop looking back at her.
“Arial come on” I wave to her, but she doesn’t move.
“No I am going, if you are too scared just go, I will do it myself” She snaps. Shit! I think as I watch her continue leaving. I follow her to the border before deciding to use the pack link to as Tate for help.
“Tate?” I ask he answers instantly.
“What’s up? Where are you, you feel far away?” He asks before I feel his worry hit me.
“I think I have fucked up, is Drake awake?”
“Lana what’s going on?” Fuck! I never should have listened to my sister, I should have went home and rang mum or got Drake.
“Lana answer me” His voice booms through the link.
“I am at the border of the River Pack” I confess.
“Come back now” He bellows through the bond making me flinch.
“I can’t Arial is about to storm through looking for Chase, can you come please”
“Head back we are on our way” I go to answer when I see Arial step over the border.
“Lana, don’t you step over that border, promise me” Tate says I could feel he had shifted, feel Drake had too though, something felt different and I was shocked I didn’t notice it before, my heart skipping a beat when I realise what it was, Tate had marked Drake. Guilt hitting me that I ruined their moment.
“Lana?” Tate demands.
“Okay I will wait” I tell him before he cuts the link.
“Arial wait they are on their way” I call to her, but she doesn’t listen.
“Arial come back now, this is stupid” I tell her when she goes out of sight. I growl annoyed standing away from the border when I hear her scream.
Chapter40
Lana’s POV
“How far away are you?” I mind link in a panic when her scream died out, nervousness kicking in.
“Lana, don’t you dare step foot on that territory let me deal with it, they won’t hurt her” Drake mind links back. His voice in my head felt strange, unless I force the link but now, I didn’t have to since he marked Tate.
I hear fighting and my sister’s growl. When she suddenly screams my name. I run, and not even twenty metres over the border, I feel the first dart hit my leg. My agonised scream echoing off the trees as wolfsbane floods my system, Yet I don’t stop, I keep running until I smack right into her knocking us both to the ground as wolves start coming from the trees, my sister fighting a wolf I instantly recognised as Melinda before I knocked her down falling on top of her. We jump to our feet back-to-back trying to keep an eye on the wolves.
“I fucking”-
“Don’t say it Lana” My sister says when I go to tell her I told you so.
