RILEYNo one answered.Jason stiffened a bit at my question.I found myself debating the possibility of kneeing him in the crotch to get him to let go of me. But as if he could read my minds, he tightened his grip and warned me.“Don’t even try it.”Dale sighed, running a hand back through his hair in resignation.“We can’t tell you anything without Alpha’s permission. I’m sorry, Riley.”So, they did hide things from me. “No, I suppose you aren’t,” I said as my eyes shot cynical daggers at him. “You’re all Killian’s subordinates, but you act like he’s some kind of king. I’m surprised any of you can breathe without his permission.”Dale said nothing, his shoulders slumping. Lisa rubbed her arm quietly.The floodgates of my emotions had sprung wide open, and there was no way to hold them back.“You’re all bastards,” I spat. “Killian’s clearly been lying to me, and you all just play by his rules. I should have figured it out a long time ago. Tell me, has this whole situation been fucked

RILEYMy eyes narrowed into slits as he walked toward us. The anger and hatred I had for him radiated off me in waves, and my nails bit into my palms hard enough to make them bleed.“You,” I seethed.Lisa froze in place, looking between us cautiously. Killian was eerily calm and inclined his head toward the door of the suite.“You’re dismissed,” he said to Lisa with even detachment.She bowed her head. After sparing me one last glance, the petite woman left the room quickly.I watched her leave, my heart racing in anticipation of the vitriol I was about to unleash on Killian.“I need to see Dominic,” I demanded.He simply shook his head.“He’s still in the emergency sector and will remain there until he’s fully stabilized. He needs time to rest and recover, and that’s the best place for him to be right now.”“Stop lying!” I growled, stepping forward.My movements were still heavy, likely from whatever anesthetic or drug they’d given me to knock me unconscious, but I wasn’t letting th

KILLIAN“Something new, Alpha.”As Jason updated me with Lisa’s report about Riley, I rubbed my temples and slouched in my high-back leather chair.“Go on.”He nodded.“Her hunger strike has been subdued, and Lisa will be eating with her at every meal. She’ll also try to tell her more about us. But it seems that Riley isn’t likely to ease up anytime soon.” He paused. “And then there’s the matter of her human friend, the lawyer”“Hannah.” I remembered her name. “What about her?”Jason seemed reluctant to share but did so anyway.“Yesterday, she attempted to enter the territory, Alpha. The sheriff called Bram because she claimed there’d been a kidnapping, but he managed to keep them from pursuing it by reminding the sheriff of the donations they receive from the Bryce Foundation every year.”My jaw flexed. It seemed like Riley had run out of ideas. Hannah interfering on the outside was admittedly a smart move, but not smart enough.Try as they might, there was no way Riley could slip ou

RILEYTime seemed to pass by at a strange pace, inconsistent and dizzying.With only Lisa for company, my days began to bleed together, some hours feeling like minutes while others dragged on.I didn’t have much in the way of entertainment, only the books that had been brought to the suite for Dominic when we’d been admitted to the medical center.Much like my phone, my laptop had been confiscated.Oh, and there was the television.But I didn’t even want to turn it on, because I knew that as soon as I did, I’d see that cartoon Dominic loved so much, and then I’d want to cry.I couldn’t cry. I needed to stay sharp.Despite my efforts, all my ideas quickly fell flat. No matter how much I pleaded with Lisa to help me escape, she wouldn’t budge, and the “guards” stationed outside the suite doors were like two immovable walls.When things started to feel hopeless, the doors of the suite opened that afternoon, and a familiar feminine voice greeted me.“Riley!” Catherine gushed. “Hey.”I sat

RILEYThe room on the other side of the door was a large study, outfitted with a huge desk, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, and a spacious, intricately woven rug that surely must have cost a fortune. The curtains were drawn, casting the room in darkness that was only interrupted by a small lamp in the corner of the room.Killian stood by the window, phone in hand. The voice on the other end seemed urgent, but he was mostly unaffected when he offered clipped responses.“I need to go,” he said firmly after a minute, glancing in my direction just as he ended the call.Silence hung in the air for what felt like an eternity, and then he cleared his throat.He beckoned to me. “Don’t just stand over there.”I glanced behind me, realizing that I was still lingering near the door, as if my body wanted to bolt. He waited for me expectantly, and I carefully approached.“What can I help you with?” Killian asked me coolly once I was closer.“I’m sorry,” I offered at once, trying not to be irritated
