Chapter Eighty Five
He didn’t give a response; that’s exactly what I had expected. “I guess you would rather they die than for Riley to get hurt. We aren’t much different after all”
“No, I would never hurt her, and maybe you are right; we aren’t much different after all, but let’s not pretend like you can actually get me out of here, because I know you can’t.”
He was right; I couldn’t do a thing. I could not help him, and yet I wanted to hear his answer, maybe because I wanted to remind him that I wasn’t the only selfish person here or because I wanted to feel less guilty about what I was doing.
“You should eat something.”
“Bella?”
“Yes,” I answered, hopeful.
“Go to hell.”
“You jerk. Do you know what it took me to come here? was worried about you; Logan didn’t care if you died.”
“I’ll die anyway, but I wouldn’t wish your face to be the last I see before I die.”
I was completely speechless. I couldn’t hold back the tears; I turned away from him and walked away.
I returned to Logan’s. He sat on his couch.
“Really smart move, Bella,” he began, but the moment his gaze found mine, the look of concern clouded his features. “What did the bastard do to you?” he asked.
“Thane didn’t do anything, and that is the problem.”
He walked to me and wrapped his arms around me.
“You have to move on; he isn’t worth your time or your tears.”
I nodded silently; he was right; it’s time I let go.
But anytime I closed my eyes, I saw her–Riley. The girl who took my position and snatched my mate. She had to die; even if that is the last thing I do, only then would I be capable of moving on.
RILEY
I walked into Thane’s office, not caring that he was seated with Regnux.
“I need to talk to you,
Thane.”
“I am busy; I’ll speak to you when I’m done.”

“I will not leave this place until we have a discussion.”
“I think I should leave.” Regnux said, about to excuse himself.
“There is no need for that; you will remain here.” Thane stood to his feet and walked to me. “Don’t you dare barge into my office next time; your place is my bedroom, and your duty is to be my fuck thing whenever I want you to be, but for now, I see no use for you, so go back to the bedroom, and we will talk
later.”
I slapped him hard.
“Don’t you dare speak to me like that ever again. I am your Luna, not your whore.”
The look he gave me was not exactly what I was expecting. He looked… turned on.
He lifted me up, easily placing me on the office desk, and he positioned himself between my legs.
Regnux rose to his feet again, but one glance from Thane sent him back to his seat.
“Is this what you want? Sex?”
I pushed him off me.“Your things would be waiting for you outside the room. Find a place to sleep tonight and every other night till you get back to your senses.”
“Is that a threat, my love?”
“See it as what you want to, Alpha.” I spit out the title before walking away from his office.
Thane had changed. It had all started when he returned from Everveil. It felt very strange and bizarre. Bella was nowhere to be found; neither was Logan.
There was something sketchy about this all, and I was going to get to the bottom of this.
