“You definitely arent. Do you think | do not care for my Alpha? | would have been there if | thought there was a

“Why does it always have to be him? Why am | always left at an edge when it comes to him?”
“That's because you care about him, and it’s okay to care, Riley.”
“What if they kill him?”
“They haven't,” he said and then flinched; that would mean one thing.
“Thane has just been injured, hasn't he?”
Axel could feel Thane’s emotions; he would know if he was in pain.

“There is something else. She... she has...” Axel hesitated.
“You will have to speak up if you want to prove your point,” | say to him, now curious due to his hesitation.
