Chapter Eighty Seven

I had doubts... | hadn't believed my mother was capable; this had been the swoman I lived with all my life,

but here | was in her apartment. And now | think maybe | was very wrong; maybe | just never knew who my

mother truly was; she might have hidden that part so well from me.

“You were away for a few days. Where did you go” | asked, my gaze burning into her.

“I do not have to report to you; | am your mother, and | have the right to be wherever | want to be.”

“A messenger was sent from the New Blood Pack Thane had assembled soldiers to search for the offender. | can

only help you if you talk to me.” | said to her.

“I had been so close,” she says, and | shouldn't be surprised, yet | was because | hoped she wasn’t involved; |

hope it was just a mere coincidence, and maybe that had always been my problem... | hoped a lot.

“I don’t believe you; how did you do all that?” | asked staring at her, she was strong for a woman in her late

thirties, she had only been a teenager when she had me.

“I had shelp,” she admits.

“Who?”

“That | cannot tell you.”

“Do you think I'll expose you to Thane? Do you think | am one of them now?”

“No. It is safer for you this way; you don’t have to know anything. You clooking for answers, and you got it. |

didn’t do all that on my own.”

“Why? Mother, why did you throw all of these away? You were finally free; why did you choose to do this?”

“You have no idea how many times | had prayed to get a chance at freedom just so | could get back at ‘him’. You

thought | dreamt of freedom, but that wasn’t just it. If | wanted freedom, | wanted it only for one reason, and that

was to watch Alpha Slatle of the New Blood Pack die very slowly. | had been so close, and then... | failed, and |

might never have this chance again; | had lost.”

My mother was in tears. She had toldabout her past, though | suspected she had kept most of it to herself.

Slade took away all her childhood memories and tarnished it; he had taken so much from her and... | couldn't

even bring myself to be angry at her. He deserved to die.

My only worry was the fact that she had been caught. | had no doubt Thane would find her if | did nothing about

“You will have to leave this pack; I'll make a plan | said to her. | had no one to meet; my only option was Beatrix;

she had betrayedonce, but if | promised her she would never have to see my face again... Maybe we could

escape; she was in love with Thane, and she would haveout of her way. Of course there was a huge chance

she would turn us over, but | had to believe she sawas a threat; that was the only way we could escape.

| hadn't seen Axel in a while, but I didn’t think he would helpagainst Thane. Yes, he had gone against the

Alpha more than once, but his was different. The bond they share was so strong, | had to remember that Axel

had sacrificed so much for Thane; if that wasn’t love,” then what was?

“No, Riley, don’t try helping me.”

“How could you askto do nothing?”

“Because | love you.”

“I'll get you out of here.”

‘Riley, listen to me. | know | haven't been the best mother; | know there are many things I did wrong, and | was

selfish for not thinking about you, but you were always on my mind. | knew that you

had also been so close to leavingtoo; | knew about the bathtub... incident,” she says, tears flowing down her

eyes.

“How did you know?” | asked horrified; she shouldn't know about this; | knew for a fact that neither Thane nor

Axel informed her.

“I overheard them. Just when | was snooping around to get all the information | needed to penetrate into the

New Blood Pack. Thane seemed to be sorry; that had been the only reason I didn’t go for him first.”

“It wasn't his fault, that was all on me.” | confessed

“I should never have told you about my past; | should have known it was too much for you to bear.”

“Mom, please don’t take the blon yourself, this is my fault, my mistake.”

“It had so saddened me. | was going to make them both pay... for everything they did to us, but | failed.”

“No, you didn’t; you tried your best, and you are far from being a failure.” | say to her, | couldn't admit to her

what | felt for Thane, she would hate me, | didn’t want him hurt in any way, but she couldn’t know that.
