Chapter 50

Her entire body was shaking yet she didn't even flinch as I pulled the first three pieces of glass

from her face when she started shaking her head and pushing my hands away instead of letting me

pull the rest out.

“Lucy stop, let them” Reika says, gripping her face in her hands.

“What's wrong, what happened baby” Reika says, tears falling down her cheeks at seeing her

daughter so frantic. Lucy tries to talk yet can’t seem to catch her breath as she starts to

hyperventilate gasping for breath. Tears continue to pour from her eyes when she suddenly starts

flailing, ripping handfuls of her hair out and clawing at her face. I watch as Reika frantically tries to

catch her hands from ripping herself apart while Lucy starts screaming.

My stomach twists at the sight of her. Ace shifts back trying to grip her hands and hold her still

while Reika tries to soothe her but she is way past soothing. She was turning manic, this is what

broke looks like. When someone is pushed to close the edge leaving them sitting dangerously on

the brink of insanity, she was losing it and nothing we did was calming her as she tore at her face,

her scalp bleeding as she tore her hair from her head. You can only push someone so far before it

becomes too much and Lucy had hit breaking point and break she did.

“Do it" Reika says, her eyes going to Ace and I. Ace falls back shaking his head.

“I can't, I can't do that to her, not again” He says shaking his head and Reika's eyes dart to me

and so does Ace's.

“Remark her” He chokes out looking at me, but I hesitate knowing if I remark her, not only will I

knock her out but it would reinforce the bond. I know from Lana that being marked repeatedly over

the years both her mates had to rebite her as the bond became strengthened more one way.

Ace hadn't marked her yet, me marking her before both us have mated her could remove her

bond to Ace completely.

“Ace?” I look at him, panicked.

“It's ok brother, I won't mark her again without permission” He says.

“Ace?” I look at him while Reika was still trying to restrain her.

“One of you needs to do it and fast,” Reika snapped at us while Lucy screamed and flailed.

“It's fine, just do it Tyson” Ace says moving her hair off her neck, I hesitate when Tyrant forces

control, sinking our teeth into her neck. She screams and I choke on her emotions as they slam into

me full force like they were mine and not hers. My teeth hitting bone and her movements slow and

become weaker.

“It's ok baby, mumma’s got you" Reika whispers to her before she goes still. I pull my teeth

from her neck as she slumps forward onto Reika. I quickly pull the glass from her wounds and she

starts healing when Ace suddenly stands making me look up at him and my stomach drops at the

dark expression on his face yet he says nothing and bends down taking her from Reika, hugging her

close to his chest.

“I fixed her room up the other day, we can put her in there” Reika says, standing up. Her chest

and neck are covered in blood but her cuts had already healed. Ace nods to her before walking

toward the packhouse silently, yet his aura was potent as it rushed out of him and I wasn't sure if he

was mad at me or himself.

“It will be okay Ace, she won't reject you when it comes time to mark her” I tell him through the

mindlink as we walked toward the house.

“I can't feel them, Tyson,” He says.

“Pardon?” I ask.

“The tingles, I can't feel them”

“It may only be temporary” I tell him.

“I hope so” he says as he continues toward the house.

Walking inside, Mitchell was standing in the foyer with a towel around his waist and Ryden in

his arms while he gave him his pacifier, rocking Ryden in his arms.

“I didn’t know how much formula” He says but Ryden seeme fine as he sucked on his pacifier.

He hands him to Reika who takes him.

“I will be up in a minute” She says to Ace who starts climbing the stairs toward Lucy's old room.

Reika walked toward the kitchen.

“I should go,” Mitchell says and I shake my head.

“You can stay if you want” I tell him and he nods looking down at the towel around his waist.

“I will just duck home and grab some clothes” he says and I nod.

“I will come back soon,” He says, walking toward the front door.

I walk upstairs to Lucy's bedroom, pushing the door open. I find Ace laying beside Lucy on her

bed. The entire room had been transformed back to the way it was. Reika had even managed to

reprint all Lucy's photos that hung the walls and replaced them. Ace was laying beside Lucy and he

had tucked her purple comforter under her chin brushing her hair from her face, his head propped

on his hand as he watched her.

“This is my fault” He says and I shake my head.

“No Tyson it is, this all started because I was with Melana and when Lucy wakes up she will

realize that and want nothing to do with me”

“It's not your fault Ace, Lucy will see that”

“Will you stop it, stop covering for me Tyson. You don't have to fix this, I know what I have

done, if Lucy wakes up and doesn’t want me, you let her walk away, I won't cause any more damage

to her” Ace says sitting up.

“That won't happen Ace, Lucy loves you, loves both of us. You can't just walk away from the

mate bond"

“What mate bond Tyson, she won't feel it and I won't have you making her feel bad if she

doesn’t want me any more”

“You are being ridiculous. This changes nothing, you don't get to walk away, if you loved her

you would fight for her”

“No it is because I love her that I would let her go and let her be free of me, let her be happy

with you, everyone is right Tyson, you are the good twin, you did everything right from the start. I

don't deserve her, and Lucy deserves better than me and that is you" Ace says before walking out of

the room.

“Where are you going?” I call after him yet he doesn't answer, instead running down the steps

and leaving the house.00OOO
