Chapter One Hundred and Thirty One
“Are you okay?” Thane asks
“Why are you here?” I questioned randomly.
“You kept on screaming out my name and crying Axel had to call my attention.”
“I’m so sorry I woke you up.”
‘Riley, that is the least of my worries. What was the dream about?”
“It was about you and these elders… you were being stripped of your wolf with the cursed weapon, and then he said he was coming for me next. It was so scary.”
“I am fine, Riley.”
“You don’t understand; it felt so real. Promise me that you will keep me out of danger,” I pleaded.
“I would try,” he says, and I knew he was only saying that to keep me calm, but still I took the false reassurance.
Now that I was back to my senses, I felt so embarrassed, I wondered how Axel would feel being woken up by the weirdo who cries in her sleep.
“Oh gosh, I’m so sorry, where is Axel?”
“He went to call for a healer.”
“I’m fine!” I said, eyes wide. That would be very embarrassing if he did call the healer.
“I can see that now, and he would be back soon. You don’t need to be embarrassed about anything, not with us,” he assures, and I nodded.
“What is that?” I asked, pointing at the envelope in his hands; it seemed very similar to the one the DNA result was placed in. I had kept it right there on the… table. Oh. My. Gosh.
“I had a little suspicion,” he began. “I hadn’t actually been sleeping.”
“You came here earlier?”
“Yes, I’m sorry and also not. How else would I know that this proves you aren’t related to me?” My mouth dropped open, the frightening dream long forgotten. “You read it?”
“Of course, why didn’t you tell me, Riley?”
“What difference would it make?: When you were having fun, I had been finding a way to get back together with you, and… I just didn’t see the need of telling you anymore,
“This
was the reason you came to our room, right?”

“Yes, it was”
“Riley, I need to ask you a question.”
“Well, ask on.
“Has your love for me changed?”
“No. Not one bit. I love you and nothing can change that, but I’ve learned that with you things would always be complicated; you just always seem to be in this different cycle, and I am somewhere below.”
Thane rose, and then he dropped to his knees.
“I am begging you for a chance, Riley, and I don’t care if you want me to kneel before the whole pack and say this all over again,” he says.
There was something very sexy about seeing Thane on his knees before me; it made me feel… powerful in some way.
“You would do anything?” I asked
“Anything,” he promises
Even on his knees and begging, he still looked very much in control.
“What if I tell you to strip?”
He smirked. “That would be a twist of events… one I would love.”
“What are you waiting for?”
His smirk widened as he took off his shirt, still on his knees.

“Keeping going, Alpha,” I taunted; he was going to have to swallow that pride and completely naked. He didn’t seem to have a problem with that, much to my discomfort.
He managed to take his pants off; I could see his bulge through his briefs.
“That would do,” I say. “Now beg for another chance.”
“So that’s what we are doing,” he says, completely disappointed.
“What else did you think we would do?” I asked, even if my insides tingled with need, I would deny myself if it meant denying him too.
He watched me say, “Riley, I am so sorry for being a jerk, and I think you are very much in my circle; please would you give me a chance?” he asks.
I smiled wide; this was sexy.
I had been about to pat his hair–just to prove a point–but those glowing amber eyes–he was very much an Alpha; even on his knees, he still looked dangerous and lethal. I respectfully

took my hands back, I doubted he would stay still if I did that.
“I will think about it,” I say, hating how unstable my voice sounded.
“Now may I get dressed, Riley?”
“I don’t know; I kind of like seeing you…”
My words trailed off when he stood to his feet, and I carefully backed away.
“Riley I won’t hurt you; I just don’t feel very comfortable in that position.”
“Is it not like I was afraid or anything?” I lied with a small awkward snort, and Thane saw right through that, but decided to say nothing.
