Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Nine
| hated the fact that Axel simply accepted it all. It was my fault, not his, yet he still wanted to protect me.
“Thane | am at fault,” | say to him, and that gave him a pause. “He had wanted you to know, but | didn’t. |
begged him not to tell you, and despite knowing | was doing the wrong thing, | forced him to do just that too.” |
had never seen thane this so angry.
“I'd expect him to know better.”
“I forced him into this; this is not his fault.”
“You would have been killed a few hours ago if we had a way to prevent that and didn’t...”
“But | wasn't,” | said, cutting him off.
“Riley, he is right; | did the wrong thing, and | do not appreciate you trying to defend me,” Axel says.
“No. | am wrong; | am to be blamed; you keep makingfeel like skind of baby; | could be at fault too, and
I am now, so if you are going to punish him for what was totally not his fault, then you would have to do the
stotoo.”

registered my position behind Akel, and that was all he needed to figure out what would have happened here.
| saw pure fear in his eyes and | wanted to remind him so badly that it wasn’t his fault, but | knew he hated those
words. Thane always took control of things, and now he wasn’t in control... he blamed himself.
There was a tense silence; | had to break it.
“I don’t think Beatrix is involved in this. Except she planned to disappear from this pack; she wouldn't risk it, not
when we knew the truth.”

Axel nodded in agreement.
“Are they even our pack members?” Axel wondered aloud, just like me, he was trying to lighten the mood.
“They might be sof the new members, but | doubt it; now that | can think about it, I thought they smelled
foreign.” Thane finally spoke up. We were all going to pretend like nothing had happened.
“Is there anyone alive?” Axel questioned
“One... barely,” Thane responds.
“He has to be questioned,” Axel says, and Thane easily agreed to that.
Thane didn’t wanthere, but | wasn’t going to stay behind this time.
