strong; no one was to seein tears, so | had escaped to a more secluded space, a dressing room of some
kind; there was no one in here, so | could cry my heart out.
| felt like | had lost something dire to me, even if he was still there. This was what she wanted; she wanted to

But then being with him could feel so... wrong.
Someone walked in.
“I need squiet time; leave now,” | ordered, backing the door.
“It’sRiley” Axel says and | turn to face him. | couldn’t control the tears. “What happened? Who hurt you?” He
asked, very ready to beat-up someone.
“Is not that?” | manage to say.
“Then what is it?”
“Could you shut the door?”
Axel shut the door before walking to me. “Riley, please tellwhat is going on.”
“My mother, she is the problem.”
“Is she hurt?”
“No,” | paused. | didn’t know how to tell this to him or if it was alright to share it. “You know those times the truth
hurts so bad, you wish you never discovered it?”
“Yes,” Axel answers, and for sreasons, | felt like he alone could understand me.
“My mother sent a letter toearlier this morning, and she said she wanted to speak to me; of course | had
gone to meet her, and she started with stalk about her past...” Again | paused, unable to speak on.
“Riley, please speak to me; there is no way | can help you if I don’t know how to.” He says, and | nod.
“She toldSlade was my father. She said she left this pack pregnant with Slade’s child, and she hadn't told me
the truth all these while because she thought what | had with Thane would cto an end soon, and... She
knows about the contract too; | am so sorry, and | know | shouldn't have told her, but | needed someone to talk

explained. | couldn’t have Thane finding out about any of this.
“Riley it is alright,” he assures me.

him for the rest of my life, and | know it was so darn wrong of me, but | was in love with the son of the man who
had hurt her so badly, | didn’t know how to tell her. But she must have noticed it. She revealed the truth, Thane
is my brother and this was the truth | never wanted to hear.”
“And how do you know she didn’t have things mixed up? You look nothing like Slade, no offense.
“Slade had said something towhen he abducted me, something about my father, and... | should have known
what he was getting at.”
Axel letcry in his arms. “I'm so sorry Riley, this is just as shocking toas it is to you; it feels almost
impossible,” he says, and he was right; | was nothing like Slade; he was an Alpha; if he was indeed my father,
then | should have had skind of Alpha blood in me; | sheild have been stronger.
