Hunger pangs gnawed at my stomach, | could almost see myself giving up.

It was Axel and Thane; that’s what | thought till | saw the third figure.

“What the hell did you do to her?” Nick asked, his eyes blazing with fury.
“Nick, I'm fine,” | say. Thane hadn't harmedyet; | had been the one who refused his food and shelter.
“You don’t look fine to me,” he says. Finally, he turned to Thane. “I am willing to offer you anything you want, so
long as you let her go,” Nick said. He was furious and only managed to keep it in.
“What can you offer me, Alpha? There’s nothing I'll need from a pack so tiny.” Thane said | threw him a glare; he
only shrugged.
“I want to speak to Nick... alone.”
“That cannot happen.”
| hated the fact | was about to do this, yet it was the only way HE would agree. “You toldonce you were
willing to do anything, as long as | ate the ‘damn’ food.”
Thane stared down at me. “After this, | won't take no for an answer,” he warned, and | gave a slight nod of my

When we were alone, | gazed up at Nick,
“You know.coming here is not a good idea,” | whispered to him. Just in case there were shidden cameras in
here, | wasn’t going to take chances. “He would know that the attack had something to do with the Raven Clan.”
“I had never been afraid of a fight.”
“Nick, it's the Nightshade pack.’
‘And | don’t care.”
“Many would die, and it would be all because of me.”

“When | heard you had been captured, | couldn’t stay away. Gabriel said something very similar, but how would |
leave you here? | did tell you not to do any other thing but wait at the borders,” he said.
“I'm sorry, | couldn't. If | waited there, the others wouldn't have made it out, and Thane. wouldn't have hurt me,”
something occurred to me, | hadn't asked him if the soldiers made it out. “Those men... they did make it out
right?”
(
“Yes they did,” he says and | let out a breath of relief. My sacrifice hadn’t been for nothing. You seem so sure that
Thane wouldn't hurt you,” he says, and | would have defended that, but he was right. | didn’t know Thane at all.
“I would have handled this either way... but | am glad you are here.”
| noticed Nick's gaze trailing to my ring. “I haven't lost it.” | assured him with a smile. | leaned against the wall,
taking in slow breaths.
“You need to feed Riley.”
“I just... | couldn't.”
He didn’t judge; he nodded in understanding. “There is another way,” he says. He seemed unsure, but after a
few moments, he shrugged and bit into his wrist.
“What the hell are you doing?” | questioned watching his blood drip to the floor.
“Helping,” he says, lifting his wrist to me.
“What am | supposed to do with that?”
“Drink?”
“What?”
| wanted to make sure | heard him correctly. What did he mean by drink? That was his blood.
“Drink, Riley.”
“I can’t drink your blood,” | argued. | had thought this was skind of a joke, but Nick didn’t seem to be joking

| didn’t really understand what exactly he was up to, but he said this would help. | wanted to trust him.
| took a drink, and to my surprise, it didn’t taste that bad.
“That's enough,” he says, and he pulls his wrist from my grasp.

Could I be imaging it, or had my skin gotten more color? It must be my imagination.

“No,” he answers. “I believe it pretty much tastes like any other. You enjoyed it not because of what | am, but
