All Chapters of Kiss Me Like You Never Left: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

He shook his head. No, he was wrong. He had to be. "He was crying, Ryan. I heard him.""Yeah, because you spurned him, you dickhead. You're his predestined mate and twice you left him. I can hardly bear for Robby to leave a room before me. I can hardly even imagine how it would feel to be rejected by my mate. I'm certain I'd go crazy."He rubbed his face in an effort to get what Ryan was suggesting with what he knew to be true. They did not mesh, but he could not determine what was accurate. He spent his whole adult life denying what he really felt on the inside, because he convinced himself he was wrong. Now Ryan was informing him it wasn't so? No, he just didn't understand."I like to hurt my lovers sexually. Make them bleed."Ryan didn't flinch. "You do understand how our biology works, don't you? You're not the first sadistic alpha. Gods only know Robby would tell me I've got one."It wasn't the same. He knew enough about their relationship to understand that Ryan always stayed in

He didn't know if he was better off for having read the note. He was glad Lennon wasn't dead, at least not yet, and he was really grateful he didn't harbor a grudge. It smarted that he thought he was being kind to him. He'd never forget the raw fear in Lennon's eyes when he awoke, and yet he thanked him for taking care of wounds he'd given. That would never sit right.He stood staring off into space so long, he'd forgotten Oldaric was still there until he at last found his tongue."You know, if you do plan on taking Nick, you're going to have to tell him about it. He's earned an explanation."He turned his head to the side to look at his friend. He lacked the strength to do anything more than that. Did Oldaric really think he still could call him his own after what had occurred? "I don't know if I can. How is he ever going to be able to look at me the same afterward?Oldaric took a deep breath, looking rather exhausted. "I don't think you're doing him justice. I don't know Nick myself

Ryan grasped both their shoulders momentarily prior to turning to face him. "You sure you're alright with this? Gideon will understand if you change your mind.".He swallowed his emotions. Again, he was struck by how lucky he'd been. No other alpha he knew would have given him leave like Ryan was. Then again, maybe more alphas knew omegas weren't property than he thought. He was discovering they weren't as isolated as they seemed more and more each day.I need to do this. Thank you for everything, I don't know how to thank you enough.""You have no need to thank me. You're my brother. My family. I'll always take care of you.Tears clouded his eyes, and he couldn't help himself as he threw himself at his brother and hugged him. Ryan hesitated a moment in surprise, and then his large arms were squeezing him in a bear hug. A second or two later, a smaller pair of arms joined in the hug as a half-laughing, half-crying Robby inserted himself into the love fest.When they finally separated,

TCL lined the path, starting at the gate to enter Bulclaws Pack lands and going the entire length. Lyon gazed at them in amazement as they twinkled in sequence together. His driver informed him that he could turn the radio to a specific station and they would synch up to the music somehow. He declined the offer, however. His nerves were already destroyed. Adding Christmas music to the mix would send him over the edge.For the 5000th time, Lyon wished that he simply didn't get a driver to drive him here but drove himself. But, he'd most certainly have turned back by now and psyched himself out of it. However, if all this went horribly wrong, it would have been nice to have some means of making a quick exit. Again, after everything he did to Nick Jonas, he had a long walk of shame ahead of him and deserved to wait for his driver if he rightfully wouldn't take him. Lyon had spent A LOT of time since Ryan dropped all those bombs on him thinking and analyzing all he'd ever done since Lenn

Lyon couldn't even hear his own thoughts among the protest Ryan's words incited. To-go bags? That had been nearly as humiliating as his confession. Takeout wasn't something high society performed. He left him alone. He'd deal with whatever fallout and damage control his trick generated tomorrow. Tonight, he simply wanted to fix the damage he had created to Nick Jonas, standing there frozen, glued to the floor. His mouth was agape but nothing was coming out.He didn't have the guts to get up. Lyon barely breathed, too scared to do anything that would make him run away.Eventually, it died down and Ryan and the guards were eventually able to lead most of the crowd out. Some stuck around, of course. Ryan returned and was standing behind Nick Jonas with his arms crossed and his eyes squinting. Arden stayed opposite Lyon against the wall, but his eyes never left Lyon. Fucking Gideon Frost was also lingering. He had stopped by where Archer was sitting. His expression was blank, so Lyon was
