Chapter 71
45- Ryker
“Hey, man. I’m sorry. This mate thing has me f*cked in the head. Is she okay?”
He shrugs. “I just hope I’m not this stupid about my mate when she finally shows up. I do not have time for the bullsh*t you and your wolf are up to. Especially right now, since I am on twenty four seven Luna duty for the foreseeable future since she thinks you are an asshole.”
“She said that?”
“Not in words, but I figure it’s a common thought amongst us and she’s pretty smart so she’s probably on board with the idea based on the way you keep treating her.‘
“Again, f*ck you. I never wanted a mate. You know this. I have too many enemies that will try to use her against me. After everything my parents went through, I thought everyone understood. I thought maybe the Goddess agreed with me, but no. She made me wait until after my sister found hers and then just for fun decided to give me a weak ass human. She can’t shift or protect herself. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?”
“Start by talking to her d*ckhead. Maybe she feels the same way and you two could work something out. This isn’t all about just you. But fixing this… that’s on you. Until then, I’m going to sit here and listen to her angry chick music and not sleep until another warrior can take my place for a couple hours.” He points a thumb at the door. I hear the music too, but nothing else. “And might I remind you that she can fight back. Or did you forget she submitted your ass at training?”
I ignore the jab. “How long have you guys been up here?”
He looks at his watch. “A little over an hour. She threw a couple things around, turned on her music, then got in the shower. After that I heard her get into bed. Why?” He’s on his feet now, sensing my apprehension.
“I can’t smell her or hear her breathing.”
“What do you mean? I smell her all over this floor. And whatever bodywash she uses is strong as hell.”
“Her scent is faint, older. It’s not the constant strength it would be if she was in the room. Open the door.”
“She locked it.”
“I don’t give a f*ck.” I stepped past him and kicked it in with a grunt, hoping to have my suspicions wrong and her yelling at me. But I was right, she’s not here.
He ran past me into the bathroom and then the closet while I just stood frozen looking at the open window. I took a deep breath in and it shuddered out. Where is she? Bennet came to a stop by me to see what I was staring at.
