***Ryker****

'Do you know how ludicrous you sound right now? ' I humorously chuckled. Even as the words left my mouth, a vague groundless fear began to hitch itself deep inside.

'Yes I know, but it's the truth son, didn't you just point out that something was wrong with me? ' He wiped his mouth once, then pinched his nose between his index finger and thumb.

'Yes I did, but your story sounds implausible. ' The statement was meant to convince myself, but my beast and I gripped to the possibility of everything my father had said been true.

'Ryker. ' His posture had become stiff, with his feet planted firmly on the area rug. I took a closer look at his actions and in conclusion, his overall demeanour was discern ably telling. He kept on scrunching his face up then releasing it in what I could guess an attempt to remain calm.

'Ry, you know your father, if there's one thing he candidly detests is deception. ' What if they were playing a prank on us. I mean they could if they wanted to, but then why would they joke with mine and my mate's bond?

'You're wheels are turning, so are mine. Can we just sit and let your parents talk? Please Ryker, you and your beast know that you father isn't lying. ' My mate chimed into the conversation in support of my mother's explanation.

'Tamara, didn't you hear the story my father shortly narrated? Have you ever heard of any evil wizards since you were born? Even if it were true that one such dark wizard existed, why would he want your womb of all the things, why...? '

'If we start asking questions without listening first it will be all in vain. If you could just stop pacing up and down like a caged animal, maybe, just maybe you could get answers to your questions. ' She cut me off in exasperation, running her hand through her short curly hair.

'Tamara, put yourself in my shoes. If your parents came home...'

'Stop right there! you are frustrating everyone with your stubbornness and it's beginning to agitate me. ' Damn this woman's moods could change swiftly.

'Because it's outlandish and improbable! ' I waved my hands in the air with a groan making it's way past my lips.

'Oh! outlandish like the first time I tried explaining to you that I could unwillingly hear your thoughts? ' She stood in anger, knocking down the dining chair she had been sitting on. I regretted ever doubting her words then, I still felt abashed at my recklessness that day.

'Didn't you accuse me of lying about the whole thing? You even went as far as bringing my long gone parents into the issue. Ryker you rebuffed my pleas, why? because in your mind it was totally improbable. So what happened when we later turned out to be mates? huh?'

I couldn't even answer her question without regrets clouding my entire system. My eyes refused to meet with hers, I kept on darting uncomfortable glances towards her. I couldn't help but feel like like I had miserably failed in making sure that the bad past we had was made up for.

'Wasn't I vindicated?' She continued after I remained silent and verbally unresponsive in shame.

Now, you are going to sit on that fucking chair and listen to what your father has to say before you find me dead with my stomach cut and my womb missing. ' The last statement was enough to snap my head up. The mere ideation of my mate dead left my insides in chaos, churning in raw anger.

As much as I hated admitting it, her flare up had finally put me in my place. Much like my own mother, my mate was in no doubt capable of speaking sense into my obstinate mind. A spitfire she indeed was.
