Alpha King’s Mate
Chapter 58

Reika POV

Ryker washes my hair and I almost fell asleep while standing, his fingers moving over my scalp was relaxing as I leaned against him. Ryker pushes me forward under the water and I rinse it out before grabbing the soap. I wash the b***d off, scrubbing my skin to remove his disgusting scent off me.

Amanda had been quiet since we killed him, though not having her voice in my head was peaceful. I was also starting to miss her. I wanted her opinion on replaceing the pups, where she thought they could possibly be. I was met with only silence, I had forgiven her for lying and kind of felt bad now realizing she was also lied to. She was so sure he was our mate, though Ryker’s words made me think otherwise. We only met him through glass and the one time she did meet him, she killed him.

Though now thinking back to that day, now I could actually remember it, I didn’t feel the strange magnetic pull to him, or the sparks and I knew that’s what upset Amanda. She may not be talking to me but I could still feel her, and I could feel she was embarrassed that she didn’t realize, embarrassed that she was fooled so easily.

Ryker rinses himself off behind me and I turn to face him. He had his back to me before he suddenly hopped out. He grabs a trowel keeping his back to me before rushing out of the bathroom making me wonder if someone had done that weird mind-talking they do. I had to remember to ask him how to do it.

I finished washing myself before hopping out, it took me a few turns off twisting the taps before realizing I had to push on them to make the water stop. Grabbing a towel, I walk out and into his cupboard before grabbing one of his shirts off the hanger. I slipped it on before walking out to replace Ryker was already under the blankets in bed.

I stand there awkwardly, why is he being so strange? Did I do something? His actions confused me, he was fine in the shower before darting out but now he had his back to me laying on the edge of the bed.

Climbing on the bed I slip under the covers, though the nagging feeling of him being so cold suddenly made me feel unwelcome, maybe I should go sleep in Tyson’s bed? Wriggling over I turned facing his back before reaching out and touching his arm, his skin felt warm but the moment I touched him he went tense. My stomach dropped, I didn’t understand what I did wrong, did he change his mind about wanting me to be his mate? I move my hand away from him before rolling over and facing away from him.

“He wants to mate with you?” My wolf’s voice suddenly appears in my head. I felt her come forward so I could hear her better.

“How do you know that?” I ask her.

“Can’t you feel it?” She asks, But I shake my head, before thinking of trying to feel for him, but the connection felt strange and made me tingly. Made between my legs tingle and I didn’t like the feeling.

“That’s the same feeling I can feel from him,” she tells me.

“But I don’t know how to mate,” I tell her before hearing him chuckle behind me. He suddenly rolls over before his hand touches my h!p tugging me against him. His chest rumbling against my back as he laughed.

“What?’ I ask him, moving closer to him, liking the feel of his warmth.

“Nothing just listening to you talk to your wolf,” he says, and I feel my face become hot, he was listening, I squirm feeling embarrassed at his words. He stiffened before gripping my h!p and I could feel something digging into my back. His grip loosens as he hugs me and I slightly relax but whatever was digging in my back twitches.

“I think he has those blue balls, Tyson was talking about,” My wolf tells me.

“I definitely have those, just stop squirming and it will go away,” Ryker says behind me.

“What will go away, your balls?” I ask him and he laughs before his hand moves, grabbing mine. He pulls it behind me before I feel something hard pressing against my hand, the same thing that was digging into my back, I squeeze it and it twitches in my hand.

“That will go away,” he says before grabbing my hand and moving it away.

“Just sleep Reika, I’m fine and I am not mad at you, so don’t think that,” he says k!ssing behind my ear. I snuggled against him feeling relieved but I couldn’t sleep. My mind goes back to the pups that were stuck in the facility.

“Tim?” My wolf says.

“What about him?” I ask her.

“He will know where they are, he was always wanting to please them, doing what they say, that’s why they liked him. I think he knows where they are,”. She told me and she was right, whenever they wanted to get a hold of me it was through him.

“We will replace him, Reika, stop stressing. We will get the pups back,” Ryker says yawning next to my ear.

“You promise?” I ask him.

“Yes, I promise, now go to sleep,” he says, and I nod, but I had another question, one that had been nagging me.

“Goddess you are not making it easy for me, just ask Reika” he gr0ans.

“Why do I have to ask, if you already invaded my thoughts” he laughs at me, I could feel his chest rumbling against my back.

“I think I know what you’re going to ask, but I could be wrong, it’s more the feeling you put off. I wasn’t actually listening at that time, but I know you want to ask something else,” he says.

Now I didn’t want to ask, now I suddenly felt embarrassed to ask because he laughed at me.

“Just ask him, I want to know what he says” my wolf tells me.

“What if he says no?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know, maybe Tyson knows how to impregnate you,” she says.

“That is not happening? Tell your wolf my brother is not impregnating you,” Ryker growls behind me.

“Will you impregnate me then?” I ask since he obviously was listening that time.

“Yes, once you and your wolf figure out how to mate” he chuckles.

“Why do we have to mate to be impregnated, I never mated before to have Lucy”

“Will you stop saying that word, you make it sound creepy like that, and I am not shooting a load into a cup when there are other ways”

“What’s he talking about?” My wolf asks and I shake my head at her,

“Can you ask his wolf?” She shakes her head.

“I don’t know how to ask him things. I can hear him sometimes but I don’t think he can hear me”

“I wonder why?” I ask her and she shrugs.

“She is blocking him out, I can hear her while you talk to her, you will figure it out and if you are wondering how I will mate with you,” Ryker says before pressing his crotch into my back. I still didn’t understand, and neither did my wolf.

“Oh geez this is going to be harder than I thought, doesn’t your wolf have basic instincts around this, she should know what to do. argh I am so not having a s*x talk with you” he murmurs.

“I know that s*x means mating?” My wolf says proudly of herself for knowing the word and Ryker gr0ans and I could feel him becoming annoyed when he suddenly grabs my hand making me touch him again before he whispers in my ear. What he said horrified me and my wolf.

“That goes where?” She asks just as horrified as me. Ryker laughs pulling me against him.

“When you are ready, you gotta get used to me touching you first,” he says.

“But you are touching me,” I tell him.

“Not that sort of touching Reika, we can wait till you go into heat, but for now just go to sleep,” he says.

“Heat? I haven’t heard that word before,” My wolf says and I agree with her.

“Yep, s*x ed is over for today, go to sleep Reika, you too Amanda,” Ryker says and I could feel his discomfort through the bond.
