Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Eight
“You are fucking dying, you need to let go of your pride and eat something.”
| had the words in mind to respond, yet my throat was so sore, | couldn't utter a single word. There was a slight
fear in his eyes; he was scared | would go through with this.
| didn’t think Thane loved me, but | don’t think he wanteddead either.
He attempted spoon-feeding me; | wouldn't eat a single thing; | wouldn't let him win. “You either eat or | will
make you.” | had been about to ask how exactly would he ‘make me’, “There ly would he ‘make me“, “There are
these pipes that can be used to pass food directly into your body, and I would do that if I had to.”
“You have no right,” I say. My voice sounded so tiny.
“I am trying to keep you alive.”
“And | don’t care. You either letgo, or I'll die here. | bet you would love to see that.”
“What do you want, Riley? | am ready to do any other thing, and | don’t care what it is; say it and it's done; all
you have to do is eat the damn food.”
“Anything?” | asked
“Anything,” he repeated, and it broughtback to the moment | had kneeled before him. I had been willing to

Thane didn’t return the next day. The following day | stared at the food. The meal must have gotten a bit hard
and dry, but... as hungry as | was, that looked so appealing and satisfying, | stared at the food. Was this worth
dying over?
Was he worth it?
Just then the door was unlocked once more. | had expected to see Thane, but | was wrong; standing before me
was a person | hadn't seen in months. Axel.
| couldn't help but imagine how I looked-ratty, dirty hair, stained clothes. | looked like crap, and | was almost
ashamed to see him, ashamed to have him stare at me.
“Riley,” he called, but there was no disgust in his voice, only pure surprise. He walked in, shutting the door
behind him. He walked to me, and as filthy as | was, he drewin for a hug; his hold was firm.

| couldn't bring myself to hug him back. Maybe he had done nothing wrong to me; maybe he wasn’t in on
Thane’s plan, but he never cforeither; he never cared to know if | was alright. They were so much alike.
When he pulled away, | noticed the redness in his eyes.
| had never seen Axel shed tears, this must have been the closest | had gotten to that.
“I'm so sorry | couldn't cto find
