Chapter Ninety 

I lay at the very edge of the bed, and if Thane noticed that I had still been awake, he said nothing. 

I didn’t know how I was going to help my mother and it was killing me; my brain was completely blank and it was frustrating. I rolled over, feeling very restless; it didn’t even help that I shared the same bed with Thane. 

I rose from the bed, taking my pillow along. As silently as I could, I tiptoed to the cushion and laid on it. I needed space; I needed to be away from ‘him‘ even for a while. 

“Riley, please don’t punish yourself; return back to the bed.” Thane’s voice startled me. “No, I am fine here.” 

“You are not; I’ll sleep elsewhere if that is what you want.” 

“My mother is being held captive; the place I’m going to sleep is the least of my worries right now,” I snapped before settling on the couch. 

I wouldn’t let myself have even a glimpse of sleep; I didn’t deserve it. 

Morning came too fast, and I had come up with nothing but more desperate ideas. I was going to do every single thing Thane told me not to, and I knew things wouldn’t end well; I didn’t 

care. 

I felt a surge of adrenaline fuelled by dread course through my veins; it got harder to breathe as the time passed on. 1 

It was time. 

My hands shook as I picked out a dress. I hadn’t even noticed the colour of the dress I picked; I simply slipped it on. I could have worn two different pairs of shoes and wouldn’t even notice. Thane held out his hands for me to take them, but I walked out of the room, feeling numb. I could hear him follow after, so I slowed down so he could take the lead. 

Just as I had expected, we were back in the ‘Judgement Grounds‘, but this time the one to be judged was my mother, the rebel. 

“Don’t move,” Thane whispered to me before walking away and leaving me standing there, before the whole crowd.

I didn’t mind that. Not one bit. With him a good distance away, I could easily go mother’s rescue without his constraining hands wrapping around me, holding me back. 

Just then a plan popped up in my mind; it wouldn’t save my mother; it was another desperate plan, but I was so willing to inflict pain on Thane so badly.

Chapter Ninety 

If things goes all wrong… if he takes my only family away from me, then everyone here would know the truth–the truth that I wasn’t his mate the truth that this had all been an agreement -there had always been questions attached to I and Thane’s relationship, gaps that many were hoping to be filled. I would reveal the truth, and some would believe me. 

I didn’t know why exactly Thane choose me to be his mate and why he needed me to be very convincing for the whole pack and also his father but we’re all going to find out very soon. I might not be able to hurt him, but I was going to try my damn best to get on his bad side.
