Ryker's pov
The table slammed hard against the wall and it shattered into pieces. This wasn't fair.
"Ryker!"
I looked back to Zoey who stood at a distance, "what? What do you want?"
" I need you to calm the fuck down and try and take deep breaths." she said to me but I was the last reason.
"Deep breaths? When I was dating that slut, she had no value to my life. I couldn't even fuck her and now, the moment I said I should put her out of my life, she is mingling with The Orion Silvefang?" I yelled at her but Zoey seemed indifferent and that attitude was getting to me.
"Get the fuck out."
She looked at me, shocked, "me?"
"Yes, bitch, get out. You cause all this." I yelled at her.
She let out a loud, long and mocking laugh which irks me to the bone, "you must be joking." She walked closer to me, not scared of me, "let's get one thing clear, tonight, I am not River. I am not meek or the innocent girl who you can manipulate any time you wish. I am Zoey Claw. I don't need you, Ryker, you need me and if I were you, I would be looking for a way to please me, if possible worship me. So, don't piss me off or else that membership slot? It will be gone, like this…." She snapped her fingers as indication.
I let out a low growl and he did the same.
"Out…." I demanded.
"I will go but buckle up, darling, we are in this for a long time." She turned, picked up her bag and made her way to the door. She paused, as she turned to look at me, "do not tear the whole house apart…bye." She blew me a kiss and walked out.
That only informed me the more, I picked up a vase and threw it at the door. I needed to get out some of this steam or else, I could kill someone.
I need to go for a run.
I began to shred my clothes, as I walked up to the back door which had access to the forest. The forest was mostly used by the werewolves of New York city as we couldn't show ourselves to the humans.
When our king got in as Mayor, he gave us a large piece of land which was cut off from the public and where all sorts of animals were preserved. The humans were not happy then but it didn't matter….it was law and when a human stepped in there, he or she never returned and it was named the forbidden forest.
It had different myths and stories but it made sure no human ventured into it.
I transformed into my wolf form, which was a large brown wolf. I let out a loud howl into the moon light and the others around did the same.
I ran through the forest, as the wind flowed through my fur calming me down bit by bit.
I was one of the fastest wolves in this pack and I accepted that I was going to get into the SGBC easily but it went from one problem to the next and it was beginning to frustrate me.
I got to the edge of a cliff and I stopped there. It transformed back to my human state as I looked at the view in front of me.
Everything was pitch black but with my wolf senses, I could see it clearly.
"I guess it is time to play the victim card. River, I am coming for you."
*******************************************
The next day, I found myself in front of Blue's apartment. After some digging, I found out that she was staying with her friend Blue. I had double mind going there especially when Blue hated my guts but I had to do this.
I pressed on the doorbell and it rang loudly, but no answer came. So I pressed on it again and immediately the door opened and I was face to face with an angry faced friend.
"What do you want?" She asked immedialetyy..
"hm, no hi or whatever?" I asked with a cool and casual tone, trying to sound like I wanted to smash her head against the wall.
"I don't greet snakes and I am looking at one right now.." she spat out the venom from her mouth. I clenched my fist as I tried to keep my cool, telling myself how much I need this to work.
"I am not here to exchange words with you, I just need to speak to my girlfriend."
And just on cue, she burst into a fit of laughter. She laughed so hard that people who passed by had to stop for a while and look. It was so embarrassing that I used my cap and covered my face.
"Bluee…" I called.
She began to clean the tear that came out of her eyes, " sorry, sorry but that was a very good joke. I haven't laughed like that in a long time. I never knew you took up acting classes in high school."
I furrowed my brows at her, "can you stop with the jokes."
"I wasn't joking, but you, you are hilarious because why am I hearing of girlfriend." She said in between her little chuckles.
"Okay, fine. Can you please go get River?"
Blue stopped laughing, her countenance changing in a blink of an eye, "she is not here."
I was taken aback by the tone of her voice but I don't blame her.
"But…."
She held up her hands, interrupting me, "there is no but here, Ryker. River is not here. You can try somewhere else…"
I was getting pissed off by the minutes. I began chanting to myself to try and keep cool.
Calm down, slow and steady, don't let her get to you. She is nothing but a mere obstacle.
When I was done with the chant, I looked up at her with a smile, "so if she isn't here, can you tell me where she is?"
"I'd rather die and go meet the moon goddess, then come back to hunt you for the rest of your forsaken life."
"You….."
"Ryker?"
I heard my name and I turned to see her. She looked at me and there were flames behind those eyes.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
