Chapter 35

NADIA,

I was still confused about why Riley left after Elliot went away. I thought he would at least talk to me about what happened, but he just asked Jenny to take me without saying where he was going or what he was thinking.

Was he mad at me about Elliot?I didn’t know that Elliot was still looking for me. I thought my uncle must have told him about Riley.

And it wasn’t my fault, or was it?,

And why did he pay Elliot money?

All I could think was that he paid him to stop bothering us and that might be the reason he was upset. I had no idea how much it was, but it must be a lot for him to act this way.

I waited for him for almost an hour in our room, but he didn’t show up, so I decided to put on new training clothes and head for the archery range where he was supposed to meet me so we could practice together.

But I’ve been sitting here for more than thirty minutes and he hasn’t shown up. His mind was also shut off and none of his Beta and Gamma knew where he was, so I was already starting to get worried.

I was lost in my thoughts when I heard footsteps approaching, bringing me back to the present. I snapped my head in the direction of the sound only to be disappointed to see Beta Dominic approaching and not my mate.

My shoulders sagged as I turned my head back and looked at the target board ahead. I felt Beta Dominic sitting beside me, but with enough distance before he turned to look at me.

“We found the Alpha”

I didn’t look at him as I let out a deep sigh. My eyes were still fixated on the view in front of me. 

“Where is he? Is he back?”

“He’s on the terrain at the western border. He mind linked with Justin, one of the warriors, to bring him a guitar.” 

He chuckled, but i t sounded sad.

“A guitar? And why Justin? Why not you or Gamma Sebastian?” 

I tilted my head to look at him this time.

He shrugged his shoulders before he leaned his palms on his backside, stretching his body as he lifted his head to look at the sky.

”I don’t know. But if my guess was right, he didn’t want us to let you know where he is.”

“Maybe. But what is he going to do with the guitar?”

‘‘When we were younger, he would go away and find a place to play his guitar. It was his only escape when the world was too much for him.”

“Does Riley have a bad childhood? He told me his mother left him when he was a baby, but I don’t know anything aside from that.”

“Ask him. I’m sure he will tell you.”

I sighed in desperation. Like always, no one tells me anything here.

“Do you know how much money he paid Elliot?”

“Hundred thousand.”

“What?” My eyes widened before I let out a sigh of desperation, “Why? Maybe that’s why he was mad and left me! Why did he pay him?”

“Are you seriously thinking he was angry at you because of the money? I guess two weeks is not enough for you to get to know him. Come, let’s go see him so he can answer your questions.”
