Enigma

“Mom run. There is a wolf ghost behind you.” Ben said with a shaking voice.

Val and Eros had jumped out of the living room couch and behind their older brothers. Elliot too was standing behind them and the three of them where pushing each other around to get better cover resulting in Elliot to fall down.

Ryder sat beside me as I saw the scene unfold. He tilted his head to the side looking at them with a very confused expression.

Elliot screeched watching Ryder’s massive head tilt and dived behind the kitchen counter. Beth on the other hand was looking at Ryder with interest. She has always been an odd one.

“Those brats are stupid. I don’t know why you stay with them and not me.” Ryder’s jealous ass said.

“MOM THE GHOST JUST SPOKE.” Ethan screamed resulting in Ryder and me to wince.

“Okay enough.” I said before anyone could start spoofing anything more. “Kids, this is Ryder my older brother. Ryder, these are my children. Benjamin and Ethan, the twins. Then there is Valentina, Elizabeth, Elliot and Eros.”

“I like Aria better.” Ryder said amused.

He did not just say that?

“He is Uncle Ryder?” Ben asked with wide shocked eyes.

I nodded.

“Mom you never told us he is dead.” Val screeched.

“DO I LOOK DEAD TO YOU?” Ryder growled making the bunch in front of us jump.

“Ry they don’t know anything.” I sighed.

He just huffed at me.
