Chapter Sixty Eight
“It doesn’t make any sense that you foundoutside the pack borders and you wanted to hurt me... again, if
you really felt sorry, then | would have expected you to begin making amends.”
“I know, and you have every reason to doubt, but if you want the truth, then this is it. What we had... it wasn't a
lie, and you too could see it.”
“I never thought it was a lie either, till another woman sat beside you, taking my position before my very eyes.”
Ryker inhaled, and | remember the man he used to be-the man | fell in love with. I still hate him now.
“After you left, everything felt empty,” he says, and | remembered how unorganized he had looked; that was
very unlike Ryker. “I had to send her away; the pack members are
yet to discover why, but | would only hurt her, or maybe she would poisonand make it easier. She hates me;
I hadn't been treating her right either. Since you left, things got worse... and when | saw you in the woods, | was
a fool to think force could do it again; | just needed to take you back, but you are stronger, or maybe | just got
weaker. The moon goddess must have been against me; she had given you a second chance mate, the rarest
thing in the world,” he says, and | don’t tell him that Thane is not my mate. Of course they all believed this was
real, and | wanted Ryker to think the same; | wanted him to believe that | was given another chance.
“As touching as this story is, | don’t think it’s reason enough for you to turn on the person you ‘love’; how do |
know you aren't saying all these just because | have a gun pointed at your head? You are so pathetic.”
“I don’t mind if you killafter this; at least now you know.”
“It makes no difference; if you love a person, you fight for that person. You never fought for me; you loved the
idea of being accepted by everyone that you were willing to putin danger just to get that; you knew what it
did towhen you fucked her and you did it over and over again, just to punish me; would you tellthat your
mother forced you on her too?, or better yet, that you didn’t enjoy your twith her?, because it did seem to

Net.
Yet | couldn't. | couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger; the gun shook in my hand, and the decision | had to
make felt heavy.
Had | forgiven him? No. He was a dick, and he was a very good liar. | had to remind myself how many times he
had lied to me, but he was right; | was not like ‘them’. | couldn't kill a person without feeling the guilt; even if the
sperson had putthrough hell, | couldn’t end a life. “This doesn’t mean | forgive you, Ryker; you might
end up killed, but you won't die by my hands,” | said. Turning around to walk away. 1
“Please Riley, don’t leave me; you are all | have, all | wanted...”
I slammed the door shut, cutting off his voice.
Thane waited for me. | didn’t know where he got the cigarette from, but he leaned against the wall, smoking

still shook in my hands. “I can’t; | am not a monster like you.”
He chuckled at that; it was dark. “Not a monster like ‘me?” He questioned. | swallowed. “After all he did to you,
you think killing him makes you a monster?.”
“How will | take another person's life? How did you expectto do it?”
“The sway he took the life of your fucking child Riley,” his words hit hard, and I flinched, turning away. But
his hands heldback.
“You are just like him, maybe worse, and you haven't seenattempting to take your life yet.
“I thought | was doing you a favour; any other person would be glad to have their tormentor finally at their
mercy. | thought this would bring a smile to your pretty face, but again, even with him at your mercy, you did
nothing.”
“Do you really want to doa favour?, If so, then don’t punish Axel for a crhe never committed.”
