Chapter Seven
(Riley's POV)
| didn’t know what my mother had against Alpha Thane and his father, but she had agreed to cwithafter
| had persuaded her. | had to tell her what Ryker had wantedto be—a little pet for him—and that was all she
needed to finally change her mind. Though she didn’t like this idea and | knew it, we both knew we had no other
choices, and | would rather die than leave my mother here.
She helpedpack up. | had only a few things; | picked out only the important things, and a single bag was
enough to contain my stuff.
Alpha Ryker walked into my room, not bothering to knock.
“You know it is very unappropriate to walk into a lady’s room without knocking, right?” | questioned, and my
mother gavea questioning look, but this t| didn’t listen.
“Now the true Riley shows herself; | knew you had all that pent-up anger in you for a long time; | actually
expected you to slip in the mating ball last night, and | am totally surprised you didn’t.”
“That's so unfortunate,” | cooed, walking past him to pick up a single framed picture ofand my mother, the
only one | had. I couldn't imagine; | had almost forgotten it.
“You really think it changes anything? The fact that you are mated to Alpha Thane,” he asked and | could sense
his anger, but I couldn't bring myself to care.
“It does change everything, Ryker. | am the Luna to an Alpha; | bet you know the consequences if you do try
touching me.”
“Or do I?” He asked, walking closer. For a moment, | believed he was going to hit me. For a moment, | believed
he wouldn't be able to control his anger and would forfeit getting beaten up by my Alpha Thane just to get a
mark on me, but his punch never got there; it landed at my side, his fist digging into the wall.

with Thane in the ballroom. He was powerless when it cto me; in sway, | was protected just by Alpha
Thane’s claim on me.
“When you go, know that | will make your mother’s life a living hell.”
“I am sure you think you could do that,” | say. | didn’t miss the slight look of surprise in his eyes before he
masked it yet again. | pushed past him. “Sometimes | wondered why you care so much; | am no longer your
mate; you rejected me; you toldstraight to my face that | could never and would never be your mate. What
changed? Aren't you interested in Luna Zara anymore?” | wondered aloud.
“You are mine, rejected or not; you were fated to be with me, and | was going to have you... till he took you away
from me.”
“Is that what you thought? that you were going to haveand Zara?”
“I would have; perks of being the Alpha.”
“Well, what a fool you must have been if you think | would let you useone more tafter all the filthy lies
you whispered into my ears. | would never let you touch me.”
“It must have hurt you when | lied to you, when I had said all those swords to my mate Zara.”
“You deserve each other, but do you know what you don’t deserve? my tears.”
“It must have hurt you when | took your virginity, promising you falsities, and you were the pathetic one to
believe me.”
It was my mother’s turn to speak now. “Hold it there, young boy; you will not speak to my daughter in that
manner.”
Ryker chuckled. “You are nothing but a slave; shut up, old hag.”
“Get out,” | said, the furry building up in my room. “Get out of my room, or else | promise you will pay for this.”
There was a smirk on his lips, one | would so love to wipe away.
“You might think Alpha Thane would be your little savior, but | promise you, you won't last two weeks with him.
You would cback and beg for forgiveness, ready to be whatever | want you to be just to remain in this pack,
and do you know what | would do then?” He asked without waiting for an answer, which | wasn’t really going to
give him, and he continued. “I would let you back in, just for my ego’s sake, and if you think the life you are
living now is bad, | would make it worse for you and the old hag,” he said before walking away from my room.
