Chapter Sixty One

Thane nodded to Axel, and he walked forward, picking me up and placing me ‘roughly’ over his shoulders, but Thane remained with Ryker.

I didn’t care what would happen to Ryker, but I feared this was the last time I would ever see him.

The walk back to the pack house seemed shorter, and that was strange considering we hadn’t even run. Axel had said nothing all the way back.

I couldn’t bear to look at anyone as Axel took me back into my room. I didn’t care what anyone thought; what I worried about was what was going to happen to me.

Axel shut the door and dropped me on the bare floor.

“Axel...”

“Shut the fuck up,” he warns. Never had he spoken to me in this manner.

“Riley stand,” he orders, and I do as he said, but my feet are too shaky. “Did you take us for fools?” he asks, and I shake my head vigorously.

“No, no, it was a mistake.”
