Chapter Eighty Six
Thane might notice my absence from the pack, but I couldn’t bring myself to care about that now; I needed to find Isabella or Logan; they were the only ones who could give me an explanation of what happened to Thane. And I couldn’t find them without help, so I was off to Jade, the sorceress. 1
”
Lately, I’ve been having doubts. What if that wasn’t Thane? What if Daemon had somehow gotten back his ‘abilities?‘ But then if it was Daemon, he would have killed me a long time ago for what I did to him; he had no reason to keep me alive, and let’s not forget that Jade had promised to keep him away. But she had lost him once, there is a possibility she could lose him again.
I flew down to the familiar spot, glad to have my wings back in action; this had been Jade’s court, where Nick had brought me to, but the place looked completely different; trees had sprouted out from the midst of the court, making it look like she was never here.
I punched a tree hard, causing it to crack under the impact. I had come all this way for nothing; she wasn’t here; she was gone, and so were my answers. I was all alone in this.
Lcouldn’t reconcile the man Thane was before he left the pack and the one standing before me now.
“So, where did you go?” he asked me.
“What do you care?”
“You did tell me my things would be waiting outside the room; when I didn’t find them there, I believed I had been forgiven, only to discover you were gone.

“I went to the sorceress. Thane, she’s gone, and I don’t even know how to trace her.”
“Why did you go to her?” he questioned.
“Again, how is that your business?”
“It is my business when you run off without telling me, Riley. I hope this never repeats itself. We don’t want to have you punished, do we?”
“The moment you lay your hands on me, the same moment they go missing, try me.”
“Feisty.” He says, “I like a good fight.”
He walked into the dressing room. “What are you doing?” I asked him.
“Taking off my clothes, or would you prefer to do that yourself?”
“I am not going to sleep in the same room with you, and I mean it.”
“It’s been a long day at work; your bickering is getting irritating.”
I headed to the door. “If you won’t leave, then I will.”
Maybe a part of me had expected him to try to stop me “Stay safe, honey, and shut the door on your way.”

Chapter Eighty Six
I slammed the door as hard as I could before walking away.
I settled into the very same room I had stayed in when Bella had to stay with Thane.
It was late in the night when I heard a knock on my door. I contemplated ignoring it; I didn’t need to see Thane right now, but sluggishly I got off the bed and pulled the door open. It was Regnux.
I felt slightly disappointed.
“Thane is not in here,” I said to him.
“I know that. It’s you I need to speak to; can I come in”
I wanted to remind him that it was late at night and not a proper time to be having conversations, but whatever he had to say must be very important, and so I let him in and shut the door. No, I didn’t feel threatened about being alone with him; I could handle myself.
“What the Alpha did to you back there in the office…”
“Is that why you are here?” I asked, “To apologize on his behalf?”
“No, that is not why I am here. I have reasons to believe the Alpha is… not in his right senses.”
He stared at me, fear in his eyes; he knew that if I did turn on him and report this to Thane, he would be punished or killed for speaking against the Alpha, I couldn’t deny that he was brave for saying this out loud especially to me.
“Well, I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that.“”
