Ryder ~ Wolf Dominion

Volume 2 Chapter 47

Skye's POV

"Where is she?" I ask from the couch, feeling myself winding up every moment with unrelenting energy. I have nothing to expend it on in this place.

Hades isn't much better, seated at the dining table, his face down on the table as he shrugs.

"I dunna..." he yawns, "...fuck this shit..."

"Ryder should be back by now," I snap.

There is a knock at the door just as I say her name.

"Hey dad, it's me!" my son!

"Ryder?" I say his name and immediately sit up, as the door opens – and my son walks in with Fyre by his side.

I am relieved to see Ryder looks well cared for and is exceptionally groomed and dressed well in a new suit. Fyre is also looking well... although... something has changed her expression to form one of arrogance.

"I'm safe," Ryder tells me what I want to hear, "They've treated me well thanks to my mother –"

"I'm Luna," Fyre abruptly interrupts with her uncontrollable excitement and throws up her hands, leaping forward and twirling around, "Ryder has been retired from service," she claps her hands together, and waits for our reaction.

"Don't be so fanciful – get to the point," I snap at her.

"I just said. I'm. Luna. Enrique declared so, Skye," Fyre disrespects me by not calling me Alpha.

I stand up off the couch and stroll toward her, unable to contain my grimace.

Finally I have something to unleash my energy on.

"Where's the Luna?" I ask her in a deep growl, dismissing her ridiculous claim.

"Mum's next door," Ryder answers me, while messing up the top of Fyre's head and chuckling at her, "You're so sour. It takes time. Chill out."

"But that's the thing, it's not a fucking joke, I'm the fucking Luna," Fyre slaps his hand away, and Ryder just looks at her oddly.

I don't even know how to discipline her for this, this is just a silly game to her.

Fyre glares at my son then looks at me expectantly – as if expecting an answer.

What a joke.

I hear Hades audibly groan loud from the table – exactly how I feel, but I don't make a noise and I look right through Fyre toward the exit.

"I'm going to visit our neighbour," I explain, looking my son in the eye, "Speak some sense into your wayward fuck-buddy... please, Ryder," I say it with pure honesty, although Ryder immediately grimaces and looks at me with distaste. Surely he has no other reason to be entranced by her except the promise of sex.

"Are you serious?" Ryder asks me now, disgusted.

Now I can't help but laugh.

Young love. As I would know... can be so... very stupid.

"Call me a fuck-buddy again and I'll make you regret it, Skye," Fyre tries to threaten me. Instead of obedience, a challenge fills her eye. Big mistake.

"It's Alpha Skye," I snarl to her as I warn her, "And if you're preparing to be a Luna then you won't be in service to Ryder – you will be in service to me," she knows what I mean, and as her face pales, I just shake my head and turn around. She didn't like to hear that? It was the truth.

"N-no I – all I'm saying is – Enrique favours me to –" Fyre whispers under her breath, stuttering and going red in the face.

I walk off.
