Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Three
If he loved me, then he should fight for what we had.
Yet since I told him the truth that I was his sister, he hardly ever touched me; it had only been five days, but that was unusual for a man like Thane. He did kiss me, but it was never as passionate as it had once been. That would have to change because I was going to make a move… on lim, tonight.
I was in the sexiest pair of underwear. He would be back any moment. I laid on the bed waiting, and just as I had expected, he walked in.
The moment he spotted me, he paused. I could see the need in his eyes, so strong, this was it; he was going to claim me.
“Riley, put on your clothes.” He says and his words contradict the look in his eyes.
The cold feeling of rejection washed through me, and I rose from the bed, walking toward him, “Thane look at me,” I pleaded, and he did. “Nothing had changed. Has it?”
“No, you are still as sexy as ever,” he says, his eyes trailing down my body. Yet he held back. “You don’t need to restrain yourself. I miss your touch, Thane.” The fight was only evident in his eyes. I just needed to try a little harder, I had already humiliated myself, I could take it a step further. I went on my knees. “Is this what you want, Thane, Do you want me to be?, because I am ready to just that” I said, well aware that I sounded desperate..
Thane walked past me, returning with a robe; he draped it over me, helping me to my feet.
“If only you know how badly I want you, but you’ve become the one thing I desire the most… but can never have” he says.
I felt so mad at him; this was solemnly due to the humiliation I felt. I had never felt this rejected by a man my whole life; I had been ready to do any single thing he asked of me, I was ready to put myself at his person but the problem was he didn’t want any of this.
“You choose not to; I am right here, standing before you, but you choose not to have me,“T said, holding back my tears.
“You being my sister changes everything.”
“Half sister,” I corrected with a frown on my face.
“You would always be my Luna and Queen, but… we can’t.”
“Don’t say it, Thane.” I said cutting him off. “You want to reject me, and I do not want to hear
it.”
“It won’t be called rejection since we were never mates; I would always be there for you, and I want you happy.”
“If you want me happy, then you wouldn’t be saying all these; if you want me happy, then you would leave all ‘this‘ behind us and we would move on.
“That is impossible, Riley; as much as I wished I never knew the truth, I did, and… things would never be the same.
“You said you loved me. Did you really mean those words?” I asked, and he stared at me, but I avoided his eyes./
“I had never said those words to anyone but Bella, but I had never meant it as I did when I proclaimed them to you.”
“Then why? Why wouldn’t you fight for us?”
“Riley. You deserve to be happy. Axel can give you that.”
“What?”
“Is not exactly shocking; he has feelings for you, and I trust him to take care of you, more
than I ever will. You don’t deserve this treatment.”
“So you are going to pass me on to him?, and when he no longer wants me, he would pass me on to… maybe one of the soldiers?”
“Riley, please don’t say that. You are not an object, but you deserve better, and I… I can’t even touch you.‘
“You know what I think? I think you were waiting for this opportunity all along, when you would get to let go of me; I had always been a burden to you.”
“If you were a burden, then you would have been one I was very willing to carry. But weren’t. I had not stopped loving you, and it is wrong, but this I cannot undo.”
“I “Some secrets were meant to be hidden, and I wish I had never told you any of this; nothing would have changed; you would still be able to look me in the eyes while you kissed me,” 1 said, and for the first time I saw the pain in his eyes. Thane was so good at hiding emotions, yet I knew that I was not the only one hurting.
It wasn’t good enough.
He would have fought, but I wondered if I was worth fighting for.
“Promise me that you would be safe and not do something stupid,” he says, and I know what he was referring to when he said that; The bathtub incident.
“I won’t try drowning myself if that is what you mean.”
“Riley…”
