Wolves Without Hearts

☙ Chapter 35 ❧

☙ T Y T O ❧

My heart ached for Teva and Calixa as I left Teva to her thoughts. I wanted to stay with her but I knew she needed some time to recuperate after what she had been through. Ryder was angry. I was fuming.

The whole of us who knew what happened were filled with rage towards my brother.

I know I told Teva she could kill him but I had to make sure to get a few blows in there to quench my boiling anger. In the meantime, Ryder and I had to discuss how to take down the council. It would be difficult but with Clwyde as my informant and his brother's close relation to the head of the council.

"Tyto, let's talk," Ryder said as I walked towards the stairwell, "We need to make a plan and discuss my sister's condition."

Looks like my stay in Wild Moon would be extended.

"I know," I sighed, not wishing to bring up what happened again.

"You have to stay with Teva. Seeing as her wolf is going to be in control for awhile, it will make her stay more comfortable. If you leave she might be anxious or even afraid. Also, I have a theory that she might have PTSD after what happened so seeing Warren might trigger an event." Ryder said calmly but I could tell he was fuming by the look in his eyes.

"I wasn't planning on leaving unless you insisted I leave so I am glad we are on the same page," I  replied, "Now what are we going to do about my f-"

"You know you don't have to call him that," Ryder interrupted, "I know he is still technically your biological father but your mother remarried. That man deserves to be called your father, not Alistair."

I nodded, "I know... it's just hard to break habits that were beaten into you I guess."

Ryder growled slightly at the implication I was beaten. It seemed that we already bonded as brothers seeing as his sister was my mate. I grinned at him and patted his pack, "It's in the past, I'm just glad he didn't kill me or hurt my sister."

Ryder nodded slightly but gave me a look that confused me. His eyes held sadness as I mentioned my sister, like he knew something I didn't

"What is it Ryder?" I snapped, suddenly angry at all the secrets being kept. Especially since we were supposed to be a family now. At least that was my interpretation.

"You better ask your sister. And no, she doesn't know that I know. I've known for a long time, even before the corruption in Silver Blood." Ryder confessed, "I couldn't do anything because I had no power in that time and I didn't want to make Calixa bear that burden. She has dealt with enough and deserves peace. The council also held to much respect for the assailant."

I glowered at him and turned to walk away and quickly call my sister. She had some explaining to do. If someone had hurt her without my knowledge, I would be furious. That meant I might not be able to get revenge. Her abuser could be dead! Or worse! He could still be inflicting his wrath on my baby sister!

I punched in her number roughly into the phone and listened to it ring as I gripped it tightly in my hand. Luckily I could restrain a bit of my anger otherwise I'd need a new phone to use.

As soon as I heard the indication that she picked up, I growled into the phone, "Yana, I know there's something you are keeping from me. Ryder let it slip but he won't tell me what. If you don't tell me, I swear I'm coming back home and you won't like what I have to say."

I heard her sigh and soon she began talking.

A/N: Sorry for not updating in awhile but I've been super stressed with school and finals are in a week so it's cram time! Second semester should be better and you should expect more updates from me then. Again, I'm sorry but I hope you enjoyed this chapter even though it's short.
